In this chapter, we learn that the five great empires have come together to form the tiangan continent, and that the academy will not force any student to participate in the hunt for the dark elements. We learn that dean yang was dean yang's disciple at the yin yang school, and now he works as a professor at the academy. He tells us that he and dean yang have become "sworn brothers," and that both continents have "opposite attributes" to each other. The island of shengxie is a particularly dangerous place for sorcerers, because even powerful monsters can be found there. Both sides left their best soldiers at the last moment to form a defense line, and later on, as a consequence of a negotiation among the most powerful of the sorcerers representing each party, a treaty was signed. The scepter of the dark element, the dragon, is the one who has to hunt down the monsters on the island, but he must also be aware that the dragon has sneaked into the island to attack him.
