Even Xiao Wu had listened to Su Yuntao's lectures back at Nuoding Academy and come to believe that Yu Xiaogang was a fraud.
But when she remembered that not only had she failed to receive her Soul Master subsidy, but she had even been driven out, the last trace of goodwill Xiao Wu held toward Spirit Hall instantly vanished. Flushed with anger, she said, "So that means we, like the Grandmaster, have been blacklisted?"
Zhang Qing nodded. "Most likely. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Hall would never refuse to issue Soul Master subsidies unless you had been blacklisted. Whether it's true or not, just check your Soul Master certificates. If there's an extra black skull mark on them, it means you've been blacklisted. What on earth did you do to actually get blacklisted?"
As they spoke, the six Shrek members had already taken out their Soul Master certificates. Sure enough, each bore an additional black skull mark.
"Why? We didn't do anything wrong, and we didn't hurt people like the Grandmaster did!" Xiao Wu was instantly furious, speaking without restraint.
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened further, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang like this, Flender naturally could not let them continue. If they kept talking, his old friend would surely go mad. "Alright, alright, enough idle chatter. Save whatever you have to say for later. It's getting late—hurry inside and take part in tonight's Spirit Battles."

Just after they left, Qian Renxue and Ayan entered as well with the Tang-Elimination Squad.
In an unoccupied corner of the Great Soul Arena, Lu Qibin hid in the shadows, trembling. Even after Flender and the others entered the Great Soul Arena, he did not dare follow them, afraid of being discovered by Qian Renxue
