In this chapter, the young swordsman explains that he is a "sword spirit" , which means that he has been in existence for thousands of years. He explains that an old man told him that the sword was a "divine weapon" forged by a "hero" . The old man said that he saw fragments of the old man's memories, but that the memories were different from what he had seen. What he saw was a poor man living a "misery" life in a "roiled world," and the sword that killed him was the one that took his body and buried it in the ground. After pondering for a bit, he concludes that there is indeed a "half-truth" in the story, that there are only two swords. This is the first time that the swordsman has been able to deduce anything from this information, and he calls the young man "the most intelligent person" he has ever met. He calls him "brat go to hell" and "swish bam three sword!" .
