• Zhu Zhuqing sought reassurance from Zhang Tianyu, and he comforted her before they returned to their rooms.

• At the Great Soul Arena, the Foul-Mouth Capsule made Yu Xiaogang curse at the Shrek group, and Zhang Tianyu worried that the effect could get him killed.

Yu Xiaogang’s Foul-Mouth Capsule made him curse so constantly that Tang San, Flender, and the others mistook him for an impostor who had captured the real Yu Xiaogang. Tang San attacked and restrained him, and the group took the unconscious Yu Xiaogang away, believing Shrek Academy faced a grave threat.

• Yu Xiaogang denied saying the word, but Flender hit him again and kicked him in the stomach, making him spit blood.

Zhang Tianyu stopped Flender and the others from beating Yu Xiaogang and helped investigate why he had suddenly started swearing. Andrina Maria examined Yu Xiaogang and found no clear sign that he was an impostor or under mind control, leaving the academy to wait and see whether her Purification Art would help.

• Zhang Tianyu calmed Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Tang San and suggested Yu Xiaogang might be real but affected by an unknown scheme.
• Flender knocked Yu Xiaogang unconscious again, then brought Andrina Maria to examine him with her Holy Cross Spirit.
• Andrina Maria found that Yu Xiaogang's soul matched his body and showed no detectable curse or mind control, though she cautioned that her examination could miss powerful abilities.

• Nothing else happened that night, and everyone slowly woke up early the next morning.

• Zhang Tianyu’s device made Tang San’s expressions look more perverse, alarming the girls and the rest of the group while Tang San remained unaware.

• Flender returned to the arena, gathered Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and Zhang Tianyu in a restroom, and told them his conclusion.

Zhang Tianyu’s deception convinced Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji that a fake Tang San had been sent to poison them, so Yu Xiaogang planned to ask Spirit Hall to help capture him. After the group returned to the hotel, Zhang Tianyu tried to take the girls out without Tang San, but Tang San appeared and insisted on joining them with a mask prepared.

• Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji concluded that the counterfeit Tang San was targeting them with poison and agreed to seek Spirit Hall’s help.
• Yu Xiaogang used Spirit Hall’s Elder Token and planned to keep the group’s suspicions secret until they could arrest the supposed fake Tang San.

• Tang San answered their objections by revealing that he had brought a mask.

Zhang Tianyu and the Shrek Academy leaders carried out their plan to capture the suspected Fake Tang San, but Tang San’s hidden weapons crippled a third of the Spirit Hall force before he insisted that he was the real Tang San. The capture team confronted him, and Flender ordered him to surrender while the investigation continued.

• Zhang Tianyu took Tang San and the three girls to West City Night Market, where Tang San relaxed without asking about the girls’ earlier meeting.
• Yu Xiaogang secured Spirit Hall’s help, while Flender and Zhao Wuji monitored Tang San as the capture plan took shape.

• Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and Flender confronted Tang San, explained why they suspected him of being fake, and demanded that he surrender for questioning.

Tang San agreed to go to Spirit Hall while Zhang Tianyu vouched for him and escorted him there. In the Underground Prison, Tang San was fitted with a device that pierced his collarbones, and Zhang Tianyu’s scheme earned him a powerful new soul skill while deepening the rift between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

• Tang San asked to see Zhang Tianyu, who admitted he had known about the investigation but said he still believed Tang San was real.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji refused to rely on Zhang Tianyu’s feelings as proof, so Tang San agreed to go to Spirit Hall and wait while they investigated.
• Zhang Tianyu persuaded the Soul Masters to let him personally escort Tang San without chaining him.
• At Spirit Hall’s Underground Prison, Zhang Tianyu asked Yu Xiaogang to spare Tang San the collarbone torture device, but Yu Xiaogang said the rules required it until Tang San’s identity was confirmed.

• Zhang Tianyu completed his mission and received a sixty-nine-thousand-year Soul Ring with the soul skill Counterattack Sword.
