In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character named pang. He is a member of cloud hall, and he is the first of the four pangs to enter the "road of trial takers" . He tells his brother pang that he will be the first to clear obstacles for the four of them when the "sea of fire" begins to ebb. pang tells pang not to be mean to the innate realm 3 guy, because if he does, he will become an elder in cloud hall. He says that if he becomes an elder, then he will abolish the rule of allowing anyone at innate level 3 to enter cloud hall as a trial-taker. . The fire has subsided, and pang rushes off to find the crimson flame snake. He thinks it is bad luck that they have come across this snake, but he thinks they should fight it together.
