He advised her to develop poison-based strength or control techniques, but refused Snake Granny’s request to take her as a disciple, leaving Zhu Zhuqing asking to test her aptitude again.

Xiao Wu and Tang San returned safely to Shrek Academy, where Yu Xiaogang learned they had been abandoned during the Titan Giant Ape attack and confronted Flender and Zhao Wuji. After Tang San revealed he had promised to work for Immortal Mountain, Yu Xiaogang resolved to visit Immortal Su and prove his teaching was superior.
