• Monkey objected that A-Dai was level 7 against Ouyang Ning’s level 6, and A-Dai proposed giving Ouyang Ning an eight-minute head start while he only defended.

Ouyang Ning challenged A-Dai to a duel, hoping to defend his pride and avoid losing the 10,000-point platform fee. A-Dai overwhelmed him, copied his dark-mist techniques, and sent him flying, leaving Ouyang Ning despairing over the points he owed.
