It's time for the final battle, and the young master tells everyone that they're done. They've captured 1036 people and now they need to find a way to get to the purple thunder bamboo. The young master says that he'll reward him for his efforts when they get back. He's not sure if he can get away, but he's sure that the thunder bamboo is the final stage of the spirit core. He wonders why the young man is leading the way, instead of exploring the unknown paths. He wants to know what's going on, but the old master won't tell him.
