Angered by Ballow's attack on Sano, Ueki is ready for this fight. Problem is that he had all of his sacred treasures removed! It seems that Ueki's heavenly father gave him some advice on reaching level 2. Ueki's problem is that he didn't fully master his gifted power before obtaining his sacred treasures. With the two conflicting powers, Ueki isn't able to master his original power well enough to reach level 2. To do that, he has to get rid of his heavenly powers and work from there. Ueki is determined to do this, fending off Ballow's multiple attacks with creative uses of his trash to trees power. Ueki still can't head or tails of Ballow's power, until Sano wakes up and reveals Ballow's ability to make past visions a reality, meaning any of his past attacks can come back at any moment. While Ueki contemplates this, a conversation between Koba-sen and Inumaru reveal that Ueki's power of trash to trees isn't normal like everyone else's. Ueki can continually reuse his power, turning trash to tree to trash to tree again. Koba-sen reveals that if Ueki can master his level 2, it would completely change the course of the tournament. So just what could this mysterious power be?
