In this chapter, we are introduced to Lin-Mei-Tung, the old man's disciple, who is learning to be a swordsman. He tells the young man that he has something to ask him today, and he wants to know what is wrong with his two moves. The young man says that he should learn a few more moves, and that no one can defeat him if he can perfect only one move. The old man tells him to think of him as an example, and says that if he could perfect one move, no one would ever defeat him. He says that the tournament is around the corner, and since he is not yet a good swordsman, he will have to learn a lot of moves before he can win. He uses the knot of hellfire to bind himself to the knot, and the knot will help him absorb fire elements ten-fold more efficiently. He then asks if he should go to the house for a meal, but the old master says that they lost time in class, so he'll have to wait for the next day. He also says that another prince of the scent empire is going, and rumors have it that he and the king are in a serious internal conflict. He asks what's going on, and she says that it's her time for revenge.
