In this chapter, the narrator explains that he has ascended to the top of the social ladder and that he rarely has the chance to refuse people's challenges to him. He feels that he is not fit to fight someone like Luo zheng, who is already so strong. He tells Luo that he will not accept Luo's challenge, and that if he is going to restore Luo to the throne, he will have to keep a lower profile. He then announces that the inheritance of the torch will begin immediately, and anyone who passes through the red light will be eligible to follow him to the next level. He also announces that he heard that the five-pedal lotus bloom of a few years before had grown to seven petals, and he will give it another try. He says he will prove himself to Luo during the torch's red light, and within twenty years, he'll catch up to him and become equal with him.
