He planned to use her to obtain a ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and gain her auspicious blessing, while hiding his true knowledge of the beast.

• Du Busi lost track of Toji after he vanished and remarked on how much stronger he had become.

Toji prepared bait and a sensor to lure the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then investigated signs of a powerful wolf pack. Elsewhere, Shrek Academy teams led by Chen Feng encountered the pack while resting, and its formidable leaders threatened to trap them.
