In this chapter, we learn that the "spirit ascension platform" is not a real place, but rather a "simulation of the star-lou forest" . In other words, it's not a place where you can practice your martial arts, but a place you can actually go and practice your soul-training techniques. This is the first time we've ever seen a real forest, and we're glad to see it. The air is fresh, the sky is soaring, and the grass is lush and green. The only problem is, the grass isn't as powerful as the eagle's and the shadow's, so it won't work as well as it should. The problem is that the light dragon's soul is super powerful, while the shadow Dragon's is super weak. It's a shame that xie's twin martial souls aren't perfect, because that's the only way to get to the top of the totem pole. So xie needs a place to practice his martial arts. He's lying in the middle of an ambush, and he's planning to attack again. He also hides his backhand, which means that the sneak attack didn't succeed. The light dragon storm is coming, and it knocks him down. He needs to get back to the platform ASAP, because the blue wind wolves have consumed all of his soul power. He doesn't know what to do, so he goes to get help.
