The monk tells the king that feng hao is the new champion, and that he has won seven matches in a row. The king is all, "Gee, that's awesome, and now we've got a new champion!" The monk wants to know why the kid is still standing there, and why he's not surrendering to the poison master. He wants to see if the kid's actually worthy of his name, or just bluffing, and if he really wants to fight against the master. The monk says that he knows that the cat was killed by curiosity, but he can't kill the cat, because the master is still here, and he wants to make sure that the kid stays alive. He also says that the medicinal powers of the red lotus pill won't cure the poison, so the only thing to do is to use it.
