In the midst of the battle, Luo zheng tries to kill the sky devourer with his sword, but the blade smashes into the sky, killing him instantly. He tells his disciples to keep an eye out for him, because he still needs to train on the big sword spark platform. He also tells them that the platform is full of illusions, and that they should wait in line to get in. He explains that he's at innate level 8 and he just barely qualifies to take the eighth level of the sword, which is called the torch dragon. The torch dragon is a sword of middle-grade tier, which means that it's a good sword for deflecting energy rays from the crystal balls. If your sword is not good quality, just one energy ray will shatter it. He's already beaten his best score, and he knows that the next wave is coming, but he doesn't know how to keep up. He wants to see if he can hold on to the sword for long enough to beat his record.
