• Su Chen took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing toward the Soul Arena, telling them to think of aliases because he was not taking them there for one-on-one training.

Su Chen brought Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to the Soto Great Soul Arena and insisted they register for outnumbered Soul Duels. Ning Rongrong chose provocative aliases for herself and Zhu Zhuqing, while Yu Xiaogang challenged Su Chen to a contest and was turned down.

• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing agreed to rely on Tai Chi Fist and Fenghou Qimen in their next match rather than depend on external tools.
