Qin Chuan stunned the spectators by completely healing himself, prompting Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang to question the nature of his rule-altering martial soul. As Shrek prepared to attack him together, Qin Chuan activated a domain that turned the arena into a game governed by its rules.

• Qin Chuan's domain enclosed the arena in a checkerboard barrier that resisted attacks and neutralized Oscar's Recovery Sausage.

• Qin Chuan chose Truth as Tang San's penalty, which doubled the number of questions he had to answer.
• Qin Chuan announced that the first question was about Xiao Wu, and Tang San realized the rules controlled his voice.

Qin Chuan’s first truth-or-dare question forced Tang San to reveal that Tang Hao knew Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and had kept her under house arrest. Xiao Wu confronted Tang San about bringing her to Spirit City, and Qin Chuan prepared to ask a second question.

• Qin Chuan asked Tang San who had arranged for Xiao Wu to stay by his side, and Tang San’s forced answer named his father, Tang Hao.
• Tang San revealed that Tang Hao had known Xiao Wu’s identity and would dispose of her if she tried to escape or get close to another boy.
• Xiao Wu and the spectators reacted with shock as Spirit Hall’s elders and the Shrek group considered the revelation.

• When Tang San failed to answer, Xiao Wu cried, and Qin Chuan told her he would ask the second question for her.

Tang San attacked Qin Chuan in rage, but Qin Chuan's Game Domain let him evade and immobilize Tang San before forcing a round of rock-paper-scissors. Tang San thought he had won by reading Qin Chuan's hand, but Qin Chuan altered the skill's odds and changed his throw at the last instant, leaving the result unresolved.

• Tang San charged Qin Chuan with the Clear Sky Hammer, but Qin Chuan vanished and reappeared across the arena using the rules of his domain.

• Yu Xiaogang recalled the forbidden martial soul and warned Flender that Tang San could not win against rules controlled by Qin Chuan.
• Qin Chuan used his second soul skill to freeze Tang San and start a rock-paper-scissors match whose loser would take a defenseless hit.
• Tang San used Purple Demon Eye to read Qin Chuan's hand and threw scissors, but Qin Chuan changed his paper gesture into a fist at the last instant.

Qin Chuan used his Truth or Dare Soul Skill to expose Dai Mubai’s affair with two women at the Rose Hotel, humiliating him before the crowd and devastating Zhu Zhuqing. As Dai Mubai collapsed, Qin Chuan began another Soul Skill, leaving the confrontation underway.

• Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Fierce Light Wave passed through Qin Chuan, who explained that Soul Skills could not affect him inside his Game Domain.
• Qin Chuan activated Truth or Dare, and Dai Mubai chose Truth rather than risk the punishment for refusing or choosing Dare.
• Qin Chuan asked whether Dai Mubai still saw the twin sisters from the Rose Hotel, and the Honesty Lock forced Dai Mubai to boast about their ongoing affair.
• The crowd mocked Dai Mubai, while Zhu Zhuqing silently withdrew from him and Ning Rongrong failed to comfort her.

• Tang Hao tried and failed to break free from Qin Chuan’s purple-mist round table, while Bibi Dong decided not to intervene.

Qin Chuan’s Game Hall drew a bustling crowd, steadily earning him points and Soul Power. Xue Qinghe, secretly Qian Renxue, visited to investigate the hall’s rumored benefits and began trying its games.
