Secret Path.Yoh and the others take their time to recover and prepare to go after Hao. Meanwhile, Jeanne is treated from her wounds and Lyserg is expelled from the X-Laws. Hao talks to two Shaman Fight priests revealed to be serving him: Zinc and Nichrom. With their guidance, he takes the path to the Great Spirit and attacks Golva and the remaining priests. Mikihisa tries to stop him and fails, but Hao realizes he was just buying time for Yoh and the others. Pirika shows HoroHoro a secret function of the oracle bells that allows one to check how much furyoku every Shaman Fight participant possesses. HoroHoro learns his level is at 9260, but is shocked to find out Hao's. Everybody meets by the entrance to the Great Spirit lair, where Goldva confirms the Patches are able to measure one's furyoku and reveals Hao's is at over 1,250,000, shocking everyone. The boys drop their oracle bells, signalizing they will be taking a break from the tournament, and start their journey, guided by Silva and Kalim. However, Ren stops, oversouls and challenges Yoh for a fight.
