Yoh's team manages to force Hao's soldiers to retreat, but they fail to save Ren's life.

Yoh accepts this demand, prioritizing Ren's survival over his participation in the competition. This agreement marks a significant turning point, as Yoh sacrifices his tournament standing to secure a deal that offers a chance to bring Ren back from the brink of death, highlighting the severe costs involved in such a pact.
