In this chapter, we learn that the great scholars of the ancient world are paying homage to the "half-saint" of the modern world. We learn that in ancient times, the abbot of the little-leiyin temple suppressed the east sea and reformed the black dragon. In the present era, however, he only has a "six-ringed" halo of virtue, which means that each of these scholars is an existence that " shook the past" and still "shines in the present and forevermore" . This is the first time we've seen two of the most famous scholars in the modern era pay homage to each other. We also learn that one of the scholars, zheng huazhong, is the "number one chess saint" in the central plains. We're also introduced to the idea of "cultivation of literary energy" , which basically means that scholars cultivate their literary energy to refine it into "unrelenting morality," which is basically the same as cultivating a mortal body to kill enemies. In other words, scholars cultivate "literary energy" in order to kill their enemies, but it's also a way to lose yourself in the process.
