This chapter opens on the tenth floor of the temple, where Lingyu is watching the battle from the living room. He asks Lingyu why he is there, and Lingyu tells him that he has come to watch the fight. Lingyu explains that Luo-zheng is not from the sacred place, but he is from another continent, and therefore unlikely to help them. He tells Lingyu that he wants to know how much help they are willing to give, and how they can take on any task.
