Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist considering which advanced sword technique to master, debating between a lightning-based technique and an internal art. Meanwhile, the sect leader awakens to find his disciples have become more relaxed, which irritates him. One disciple reveals that they've been excused from training to care for the sect leader, and that the Grand Elder promised to teach them a powerful mystic art in return. This leads to a mix of frustration and envy from the sect leader.
