The chapter opens with a description of a dragon, which is the name given to the energy of a living being. The alchemist explains that this energy is "yang" and that he uses this energy to make his potions work. He uses his saliva to transform the yin energy of the snake and the yang energy of his food into the dragon energy. He says that he will win the next round. He explains that he lost the first round because the poison king admitted that he had lost. The second round is still to come, and the champion is still Mr. Song. Miss chu says that she can be sure that the man standing there is not her husband, and that the real song is dead already. She says that her husband should be punished for his evil deeds, especially not for hurting her and her family
