In this chapter, the audience is introduced to a new character, Linghu Qingxue. She is a student at the prestigious Nanyan Jiaotong University, and she has just won the first round of the university's "golden sword" competition against a student from the neighboring country, Nan Guorong, a disciple of the school's headmaster. Linghu is very excited about the upcoming competition, but she is also very worried about the fact that her student will be defeated by a man of higher rank.
