In this chapter, we learn that the annual martial tournament is a five-year event, and that the disciples of eighteen sects and nine groups of Longhu mountain will participate. Senior brothers yingshou and yunfu are the judges for this year's tournament. Senior brother yingshao won the tournament five years ago, and three of the judges this year are from the sect of taoism. . The elder brother asks if it is possible to collect the nine pearl fruits at the tournament, and the young man says that he did, but that his master will not allow him to do so. He also says that the elder brother asked him to send the medicinal herbs directly to the outlying tribesmen, but his master won't let him do it. The young man is furious that his name is on this list of participants, and he threatens to kill his master if he learns of it. He says that it takes seven plants to dig up, but they could get ten at once, so he'll try his best to win the tournament. He plans to continue practicing, even if he doesn't win, because he still has to prove to his master that he's not inferior.
