Xu Sanshi tried to use Xuanming Swap against Wang Zhongwang, but Wang Zhongwang interrupted him and Xu Sanshi fell out of the arena, leaving Shrek Academy humiliated.

• Ma Xiaotao and the other main-team members told Zhou Yi their soul power had been drained and was recovering too slowly for the upcoming matches.

• The audience laughed at Xu Sanshi, while Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, and the Players reacted to his embarrassing defeat.

Wang Zhongwang used a Grappling Hook to eliminate himself and He Caitou from the individual match after exposing He Caitou’s original name, Xu He, and hinting at his family and national grudges.

• Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan volunteered to fight next, though Zhou Yi hesitated to send Bei Bei out so soon.

During the Soul Master Tournament, Ten-Year Veteran overwhelmed Bei Bei and exposed the scandalous kinship between Shrek Academy founders Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong. Xuan Zi threatened him, while the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and Emperor Xu Jiawei challenged Shrek’s conduct.

At the tournament, Ten-Year Veteran exposed that Huo Yuhao was Dai Hao’s son by Huo Yun’er, humiliating the White Tiger Duke in front of the Star Luo Emperor.

• Zhou Yi agreed to let Wang Dong fight after she volunteered, and the Shrek Academy team supported her choice.
