In this chapter, we learn that the young master of the martial arts academy is named Lin Que, and that he has been promoted to the rank of "martial artist" from the inner courtyard. Lin Que is a member of the "Kong family," which is a powerful clan in the Ming dynasty. He is also a friend of the king, and the king has invited him to come to the academy as a guest of the academy. He asks Lin Que if there is anyone like him among the students at the academy, and Lin Que says that there is, but there is no one like him in the outer courtyard.
