Summary of Myriad Spirits Wings Chapter

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• The system initially remains silent unless summoned, despite Li Yilin having already met the 10-sign-in threshold months prior.
• The system explains its functions in a cryptic, rigid manner, refusing direct questions about its origin or full capabilities—only answering about sign-in rewards, Soul Flames, and task completion.
• Key system rules revealed:
  • Sign-in rewards are drawn from a prize pool (100 items at 10 sign-ins, increasing with strength).
  • Three items per sign-in, but no control over selection.
  • Soul Flames (inherent to all living beings) can be imprinted to earn Lucky Bags (limited to 9/day).
  • Sign-in refresh rates slow down as strength increases (e.g., 3/day → 3/month → 3/year at 100K sign-ins).
  • Soul Flame quality (based on life struggles) affects Lucky Bag rewards.
  • Imprinting Soul Flames (not just killing) updates sign-ins.

Li Yilin’s Exploration & Frustration

• He tests the system’s limits, asking about treasure randomness, system longevity, and hidden functions.
• The system avoids direct answers, forcing him to deduce mechanics (e.g., sign-in limits prevent absurd power inflation).

World Context & Li Yilin’s Activities

• The Genius Tournament’s 999 geniuses arrive in the Initial Universe, including Si Yao (waiting for Qian Min).

• He ignores the tournament’s arrival, focusing on self-improvement.

3. Significant Themes

• Si Yao visits her teacher Li Yilin and shares news from Chaos City: Bolan cleared two levels of the Heavenly Bridge on his first attempt, while others, including Rong Jun, did poorly.

• Li Yilin, having earlier predicted Luo Feng's top-ten potential, asks Si Yao to bring Luo Feng to him.
• Luo Feng, still regretting his wasted points and unable to afford Drifting Blood, decides to visit Li Yilin.

• Privately, Li Yilin wonders whether his future status in the Initial Universe Company will be enough to protect Earth when its origins are exposed, given that Luo Feng will need help.
• The System responds with a cryptic, almost seductive promise of support; Li Yilin dismisses it, reminding himself the System is just a machine.

• Over the following eight years, Li Yilin continues cultivating, fighting Monster Race members, drawing treasures, and killing Chaos Beasts.

• Si Yao makes remarkable progress in Law comprehension, gaining the support of the Chaos City Lord and becoming closely mentored by Venerable Guiyi, though she still cannot pass the eighth Heavenly Bridge level.
• Li Yilin obtains seven more drops of Thunder Dragon Bloodline. His concentration reaches thirteen percent and raises his Life Gene Level to twenty-three times, but his improvement begins to slow, suggesting an approaching bottleneck.

• Luo Feng shows both pride and caution. Although desperate for points, he refuses to accept charity without understanding Li Yilin’s intentions. Once convinced, he accepts the deal and enjoys the unexpected “trouble” of suddenly having too much wealth.
• Li Yilin is presented as pragmatic rather than purely benevolent. He helps Luo Feng because he values his willpower and future potential, treating points as investments in trustworthy allies.

Chapter Summary: “Second Clone in Sight”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yilin worries that integrating the Thunder Dragon Bloodline may permanently transform him into a Thunder Dragon. Unlike body possession, bloodline integration changes both his body and soul, making the transformation effectively irreversible unless the bloodline is painfully removed.
• The system assures him that as long as he remains determined to be human, the bloodline will not permanently alter his form, though he may experience suffering during the process.
• Despite his doubts about the system’s motives, Li Yilin chooses to trust it because abandoning the Thunder Dragon Bloodline would mean giving up the chance to improve his Life Gene Level and future potential.
• Li Yilin then asks whether he can obtain a second Clone. The system explains that Clone materials are extraordinarily rare, especially beings comparable to his Heaven-Swallowing Bull Beast Clone.
• The system offers two possibilities:
  1. Li Yilin can settle for a native creature from the Primal Universe.
  2. He can wait until his 10,000th draw, when he will receive a designated auxiliary-function privilege that can unlock a “Designated Prize Pool Item Clone” option.
• The chapter explains the system’s limitations. It will not release overly powerful beings into weaker worlds, since doing so could destabilize or destroy the entire world.
• The system also reveals that after 100,000 check-ins, Li Yilin will receive another designated auxiliary-function unlock. A System Shop is mentioned as a likely choice, allowing transactions with hosts from other universes and worlds.
• The world’s unusually high level and abundance of powerful, experienced beings make it ideal for gathering Soul Flame Imprints and unlocking further system permissions.

Character Developments

• Li Yilin becomes more pragmatic. Although he distrusts the system, he decides that the potential benefits of the Thunder Dragon Bloodline outweigh the risks.
• His ambition increases as he seeks a second Clone rather than being satisfied with the enormous advantages already provided by the Heaven-Swallowing Bull Beast Clone.
• He recognizes the strategic value of his existing Clone, particularly its ability to increase its genetic level by devouring special life-forms and strengthen his soul and will through its Single-Horn Space.

Significant Themes

• Identity versus power: Li Yilin wants the Thunder Dragon’s strength without sacrificing his human identity, highlighting the conflict between advancement and maintaining one’s nature.
• Irreversible transformation: Bloodline integration is portrayed as a profound change to the self, not merely a physical enhancement.
• Trust and dependence: Li Yilin distrusts the system but has become dependent on its guidance and rewards, forcing him to place faith in an entity whose motives he cannot fully understand.
• Scarcity and restraint: Powerful Clones are rare, and the system deliberately limits access to prevent catastrophic consequences in lower-level worlds.
• Cosmic scale: The chapter emphasizes that even a True God is only a minor figure outside the Primal Universe, reinforcing the vastness of the larger cosmos.
• The value of experience: Soul Flames become more brilliant through long lives and meaningful experiences, making powerful and ancient beings especially valuable to the system.

Character Interactions

• Li Yilin repeatedly questions and pressures the system about the Thunder Dragon Bloodline and the possibility of obtaining a second Clone.
• The system responds by reassuring him, explaining its rules, and revealing previously undisclosed functions and future rewards.
• Their exchange shows a growing but uneasy partnership: Li Yilin is suspicious of the system, while the system presents itself as impartial and bound by strict operational limits.

Chapter Summary: “Ten Fleeting Years”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yilin asks the system about its Shop function and whether it can provide Clone Gene Fragments. The system confirms that such items exist but explains that Li Yilin’s current permissions are too low to access them.
• Through clever questioning, Li Yilin deduces that his system level and accumulated sign-in attempts are connected to unlocking auxiliary functions, especially the Host Panel. The system refuses to reveal further details.
• While Li Yilin continues cultivating in the Initial Universe, his Ox-Beast Clone infiltrates the Monster Race Territory.
• To establish a believable identity, the clone enters a newly discovered secret realm, claims a Monster Race planet, and deliberately provokes a conflict with Monster Race explorers.
• The ensuing battle destroys planets over a one-light-year area and kills numerous Monster Race World Lords. The fight lasts more than a month until a Monster Race Venerable intervenes.
• Impressed by the Ox-Beast Clone’s strength and potential, the Venerable brings him into the Monster Race and legitimizes him as one of its members. Li Yilin successfully gains a secure identity within enemy territory.
• Despite killing many World Lord-level monsters, Li Yilin gains only three additional sign-in attempts, leaving him dissatisfied with the slow rate of accumulation.
• Ten more years pass in the Initial Universe, bringing Li Yilin’s total time there to twenty years.

Character Developments

• Li Yilin remains calculating, opportunistic, and shamelessly willing to exploit loopholes in the system. He treats the Monster Race infiltration as a carefully staged operation rather than a genuine conflict.
• He becomes increasingly focused on accumulating sign-in attempts and unlocking higher system permissions, though he does not alter his cultivation plans.
• Si Yao continues to make exceptional progress. Although she has not yet passed the eighth Heavenly Bridge level, her comprehension has reached the seventh level, leaving her close to a breakthrough. Her fused time-and-space talent suggests the potential to become a Universe Master.
• Luo Feng passes the fourth level of the Nine Universe Heavenly Bridge and becomes Zhenyan King’s disciple, following the expected path. Li Yilin gives him two Life Fruits and receives another open-ended promise in return.
• Bolan changes his cultivation strategy, abandoning the attempt to develop time and space equally. He focuses primarily on Space Law, with Time Law as support, leading to rapid improvement and allowing him to pass the seventh Heavenly Bridge level.
• The chapter establishes that, despite Bolan and Si Yao appearing comparable in current achievements, Si Yao’s ultimate potential is considerably greater.

Significant Themes

• Power and permission: The system’s hierarchy emphasizes that knowledge and resources are controlled by rank, motivating Li Yilin to seek advancement.
• Cunning and manipulation: Li Yilin manufactures an enemy conflict to construct a convincing identity, showing that strategic deception can be as valuable as raw strength.
• Talent versus potential: Bolan and Si Yao’s achievements highlight the difference between present ability and long-term potential. Bolan may become a Venerable, while Si Yao may reach the level of a Universe Master.
• The importance of alliances and promises: Li Yilin’s gifts to Luo Feng demonstrate his habit of making small investments in powerful future allies.
• Rising danger: The Human Race’s emergence of two extraordinary geniuses attracts the attention and suspicion of its major enemies.

Character Interactions

• Li Yilin and the system: Their exchange is humorous and adversarial. Li Yilin repeatedly probes for forbidden information, while the system becomes frustrated by his attempts to exploit technical loopholes.
• Li Yilin and Luo Feng: Li Yilin supports Luo Feng with two Life Fruits and gains another promise, strengthening their mutually beneficial relationship.
• Ox-Beast Clone and the Monster Race Venerable: After witnessing the clone’s strength, the Venerable chooses to recruit and legitimize him rather than eliminate him.
• Si Yao and Bolan: Their progress indirectly motivates one another. Bolan changes his cultivation path after seeing the achievements of Si Yao and Luo Feng, while their contrasting talents lead the powerful members of the Human Race to evaluate their future potential.
• The Human Race and its rival races: News of Si Yao and Bolan spreads despite efforts to suppress it. The Monster Race, Zerg Race, and Machine Race respond with envy and suspicion, ordering investigations into how the Human Race produced such exceptional geniuses.

• Instead, the City Lord considers recommending Li Yilin to Ice Peak Master, whose solitary personality and close-combat expertise seem compatible with Li Yilin’s abilities.
• The City Lord hesitates because Li Yilin may reject the offer, partly because Ice Peak Master is his junior brother and Li Yilin is proud and independent.
• The chapter ends with the City Lord reconsidering the human race’s investment in Li Yilin. The Thunder Dragon Inheritance, once regarded as merely a source of useful heavy treasures, may now contain much greater value.

Character Developments

• Li Yilin: Although he receives no direct appearance in the chapter, his talent and independence become clearer. His law comprehension is progressing at an astonishing pace without a teacher, and he appears unwilling to submit to ordinary arrangements or seek a powerful master simply for status.
• Chaos City Lord: He shifts from viewing Li Yilin and the inheritance as a potentially worthwhile gamble to recognizing their serious strategic value. He also reveals a thoughtful concern for Li Yilin’s personality and choices rather than treating him merely as a resource.
• Venerable Guiyi: He demonstrates careful investigation and loyalty to his master. His analysis of the rewards uncovers the inheritance’s hidden structure, and his surprise at the City Lord’s plans shows how extraordinary Li Yilin’s situation is.
• Ice Peak Master: Though absent, he is presented as a powerful, aloof close-combat expert who could be an ideal mentor for Li Yilin.

Significant Themes

• Hidden potential and uncertainty: The inheritance’s true nature is still unknown, but its increasingly valuable rewards suggest that its apparent limits may be misleading.
• Talent versus guidance: Li Yilin’s rapid progress without a teacher raises questions about how far innate ability and mysterious inheritance can take someone.
• Independence and pride: The City Lord recognizes that Li Yilin may refuse even an extraordinary opportunity if it conflicts with his personal will.
• Strategic investment: The human race’s support of Li Yilin is portrayed as both encouragement and a calculated wager on the future value of his inheritance.
• Power and inheritance: The possibility that the inheritance includes treasure-forging knowledge could affect not only Li Yilin’s strength but also the broader power of the human race.

Character Interactions

• Guiyi and the Chaos City Lord: Guiyi respectfully reports his findings, while the City Lord questions him and carefully evaluates the implications.
• The Chaos City Lord and Li Yilin: Their relationship is indirect but important. The City Lord respects Li Yilin’s wishes, refrains from forcing him into discipleship, and considers finding him a more suitable mentor.
• Li Yilin and Ice Peak Master: They have not yet met, but the chapter foreshadows a possible master-disciple relationship based on their shared emphasis on blades, spears, and close combat.
• The Chaos City Lord and Ice Peak Master: Their relationship as senior and junior brothers influences the City Lord’s hesitation, since Li Yilin may resist becoming connected to the City Lord through Ice Peak Master.

Chapter Summary: “Shocking Everyone”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Chaos City Lord considers taking Li Yilin as a disciple after recognizing the young man’s exceptional talent in space and time. Although Li Yilin is only fifty thousand years old, Chaos City Lord believes he could eventually become a King-Level Immortal and possibly even a Venerable.
• Rather than immediately claiming Li Yilin, Chaos City Lord contacts Ice Peak Master and recommends him as a potential disciple. Ice Peak Master initially responds with his characteristically curt “Reason,” but agrees to consider the matter after receiving information about Li Yilin.
• After leaving the City Lord’s Manor in the Initial Universe, Li Yilin encounters Luo Feng and Bolan near the city gate.
• Luo Feng introduces Bolan, the second-ranked genius from the Genius Tournament, to Li Yilin and reveals that Li Yilin is Si Yao’s teacher.
• Bolan, who deeply admires and strives to surpass Si Yao, immediately kneels before Li Yilin and asks to become his disciple.
• The unexpected scene attracts a crowd. Many onlookers doubt Li Yilin’s qualifications because he appears to be only a World Master, while Bolan has reportedly attracted the interest of a Venerable.
• When Li Yilin asks Bolan for his reason, Bolan explains that Si Yao greatly respects him. This answer leaves both Li Yilin and Luo Feng stunned.

Character Developments

• Chaos City Lord: Demonstrates his appreciation of Li Yilin’s potential and good character. He is willing to arrange a suitable teacher for him, showing both foresight and concern for Li Yilin’s development.
• Ice Peak Master: Though cold and reluctant to take disciples, he agrees to consider teaching Li Yilin after Chaos City Lord’s recommendation. His brief responses reinforce his aloof personality.
• Li Yilin: Gains further recognition as a talented and respected figure. However, he is caught completely off guard by Bolan’s sudden request for apprenticeship and appears baffled by the simplistic reasoning behind it.
• Bolan: Reveals strong pride, determination, and loyalty to his own judgment. His defeat by Si Yao has motivated him to work harder, yet he also recognizes her superiority and respects the person she respects. His impulsive decision to kneel before Li Yilin shows his direct, uncompromising personality.
• Luo Feng: Acts as the social link between Li Yilin and Bolan. He is excited to see Li Yilin but becomes as surprised as Li Yilin when Bolan suddenly seeks apprenticeship.

Significant Themes

• Recognition of potential: Great figures identify talent not merely by current strength but by temperament, future prospects, and ability.
• Respect as a measure of worth: Bolan judges Li Yilin through Si Yao’s respect for him, believing that someone admired by a top genius must possess extraordinary qualities.
• Pride and perseverance: Though Bolan admits Si Yao is currently far ahead of him, he refuses to give up and continues striving to surpass her.
• Appearances versus true ability: The crowd assumes Li Yilin is unqualified because of his apparent rank, illustrating how easily people judge others by surface-level strength.
• Unexpected opportunities: Li Yilin may receive support from powerful Universe Masters, while Bolan’s spontaneous request could create another major teacher-disciple relationship.

Character Interactions

• Chaos City Lord and Ice Peak Master discuss Li Yilin’s future, with Chaos City Lord recommending him and Ice Peak Master reluctantly agreeing to consider him.
• Luo Feng introduces Bolan to Li Yilin and identifies Li Yilin as Si Yao’s teacher.
• Bolan immediately kneels and asks Li Yilin to accept him as a disciple.
• The gathered crowd questions Bolan’s decision and criticizes Li Yilin’s apparent qualifications.
• Li Yilin asks Bolan for his reason, and Bolan answers that Si Yao respects him—an explanation that shocks both Li Yilin and Luo Feng.

Chapter Summary: “Trial”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Bolan asks Li Yilin to accept him as a disciple. Li Yilin initially refuses because Bolan specializes in Space Law, while Li Yilin’s remaining resources are intended for geniuses talented in the Lower Laws connected to Space and Time.
• Bolan persists, asking what he must do to earn acceptance. His determination and lack of regret convince him that choosing Li Yilin was the right decision, even though Li Yilin remains silent.
• The system advises Li Yilin to accept Bolan, explaining that it contains countless powerful inheritances and that finding suitable inheritors is one of Li Yilin’s future responsibilities. Bolan’s talent makes him qualified for many of these inheritances.
• Trusting the system, Li Yilin agrees to give Bolan a chance—but only through a trial. He gives Bolan a space ring containing the three-volume combat secret technique “Deceptive Hunt.”
• Bolan has ten years remaining in the Initial Universe. If he masters the first level of the technique during that period, Li Yilin will accept him as a registered disciple.
• Bolan accepts the challenge with confidence and leaves immediately to begin cultivating, abandoning his original plans to go outside the city.
• Luo Feng questions whether Li Yilin truly intends to accept Bolan. Though Babata believes Bolan is damaging his future by choosing a World Lord over a Venerable, Luo Feng trusts Li Yilin and suspects he is far more extraordinary than he appears.
• News of Bolan’s choice spreads throughout the Initial Universe, causing widespread disbelief because a genius from the prestigious Primal Secret Region has chosen a World Lord as his master.
• Si Yao learns of Bolan’s decision and becomes furious, interpreting it as Bolan competing with her for Li Yilin’s attention. Qian Min calmly points out that Li Yilin’s talent for teaching naturally attracts other disciples.

Character Development

• Li Yilin: Initially practical and selective about disciples, he changes his mind after the system reminds him of his responsibility to pass on its inheritances. His willingness to trust the system shows growing confidence in their relationship. Rather than accepting Bolan immediately, he establishes a demanding test to judge his commitment and ability.
• Bolan: Demonstrates unusual resolve, humility, and independence. Although rejected at first, he does not become resentful or discouraged. His acceptance of the “Deceptive Hunt” trial reveals his determination to prove himself and his willingness to begin as only a registered disciple.
• Luo Feng: Shows increasing faith in Li Yilin. Unlike Babata, he does not assume Li Yilin is merely an ordinary World Lord and believes Bolan’s choice may ultimately be beneficial.
• Si Yao: Reveals a possessive and competitive side. She is proud of being Li Yilin’s disciple and reacts with jealousy when Bolan seeks the same relationship.
• Qian Min: Acts as a rational counterbalance to Si Yao, reminding her that Li Yilin’s abilities and kindness make it natural for others to seek his guidance.

Significant Themes

• The value of true mentorship: Status and cultivation level do not necessarily determine the worth of a master. Bolan chooses Li Yilin based on instinct and conviction rather than conventional prestige.
• Talent versus opportunity: Bolan possesses exceptional talent, but Li Yilin’s trial emphasizes that talent must be matched by effort and achievement.
• Trust and hidden potential: Luo Feng’s trust in Li Yilin contrasts with others’ disbelief, reinforcing the idea that appearances can conceal immense ability.
• Inheritance and responsibility: The system’s guidance introduces the broader responsibility of passing powerful legacies to worthy successors rather than allowing them to remain unused.
• Competition and attachment: Si Yao’s jealousy highlights the emotional consequences of mentorship and the desire for exclusive recognition from an admired master.

Important Character Interactions

• Li Yilin and Bolan: Their central exchange establishes the master-disciple trial. Li Yilin tests Bolan’s resolve, while Bolan openly commits himself to meeting the challenge.
• Li Yilin and the system: The system persuades Li Yilin to reconsider Bolan by revealing the purpose of its inheritances and its shared interest in his success.
• Li Yilin and Luo Feng: Luo Feng seeks clarification about Bolan’s future, while his inner confidence in Li Yilin grows.
• Si Yao and Qian Min: Si Yao angrily claims Bolan is “competing” with her, while Qian Min dismisses her jealousy with a practical explanation.

Chapter Summary: The Furious Venerable

Key Plot Points and Events

• Si Yao reacts with disgust to the possibility that Bolan will become her junior brother after being accepted as Li Yilin’s disciple. She is especially unsettled by Bolan’s emotionless appearance and frighteningly powerful fighting style.
• Qian Min reminds her that Bolan must first pass Li Yilin’s test. However, both acknowledge that Bolan’s exceptional talent makes failure unlikely.
• Bolan’s cultivation has advanced rapidly since abandoning his stubborn fixation on the Time Law. In just over a dozen years, he has reached the seventh level of the Universe Bridge and may reach the eighth before leaving the Initial Universe.
• Qian Min briefly considers becoming Li Yilin’s disciple herself, but realizes that doing so would disrespect her current teacher, a Marquis Immortal. She decides it would only be reasonable if Li Yilin eventually reached at least the Immortal, preferably King, level.
• Si Yao resolves to work harder at cultivation so that no future junior disciple can surpass her.
• Elsewhere, Zhenyan King, Tong Nan King, and King Long Yu discuss how Venerable Nine Swords has repeatedly failed to recruit the most talented participants from the Genius Tournament. Si Yao was taken by Venerable Guiyi, Luo Feng by Zhenyan King, Rong Jun was contested by powerful leaders, and Bolan has now become Li Yilin’s disciple.
• Upon receiving the news about Bolan, Venerable Nine Swords erupts in fury. He smashes objects throughout his palace, releases his terrifying aura, injures several servants, and drives the survivors away.
• Nine Swords feels especially humiliated because he had quietly cultivated Bolan’s loyalty and arranged an Immortal-level instructor for him, intending to recruit him eventually. A World Master—Li Yilin—has now taken Bolan first.
• Unable to openly object, since Bolan never promised to become his disciple and Li Yilin likely did not understand the organization’s unspoken conventions, Nine Swords is forced to swallow the insult. He concludes that he will never preside over another Genius Tournament.

Character Developments

• Si Yao: Moves from jealousy and disgust toward determination. Though she dislikes the idea of Bolan as her junior brother, she recognizes his talent and becomes motivated to maintain her seniority through harder cultivation.
• Qian Min: Shows practical judgment and ambition. She considers whether Li Yilin could become her future master but remains mindful of her loyalty and obligations to her current teacher.
• Bolan: His quiet, cultivation-focused personality is emphasized. His immense talent and rapid improvement have made him worthy of powerful masters, even though he appears unaware of the political implications surrounding his discipleship.
• Li Yilin: Demonstrates his growing influence by successfully recruiting Bolan despite being only a World Master and relatively new to the Virtual Universe Company.
• Venerable Nine Swords: Revealed as proud, frustrated, and deeply resentful beneath his controlled exterior. His anger stems not only from losing Bolan but from feeling publicly humiliated after investing in Bolan’s development.
• King Long Yu, Tong Nan King, and Zhenyan King: Observe the situation with varying degrees of sympathy and amusement, recognizing Nine Swords’ unusually bad luck in losing promising disciples.

Significant Themes

• Recognition versus possession: Powerful figures compete to claim talented geniuses, treating discipleship as both mentorship and a symbol of status.
• Pride and humiliation: Nine Swords’ fury reflects the wounded pride of someone who believes he was entitled to Bolan after secretly preparing for his recruitment.
• Political and social rules: The chapter highlights the importance of unwritten conventions within the Virtual Universe Company. Li Yilin’s ignorance of these rules allows him to take Bolan without deliberately insulting Nine Swords.
• Talent and advancement: Bolan’s rapid growth demonstrates how exceptional ability, proper guidance, and a change in outlook can transform a cultivator’s prospects.
• Competition and insecurity: Si Yao’s determination to remain ahead of future juniors shows how status within a hierarchy can inspire both rivalry and self-improvement.
• Comedy amid power: The contrast between the terrifying might of a Venerable and Nine Swords’ childish, frustrated reaction gives the chapter a humorous tone.

Character Interactions

• Si Yao and Qian Min: They discuss Bolan’s new status, his talent, and the possibility of becoming Li Yilin’s disciple. Their conversation reveals both Si Yao’s personal aversion and Qian Min’s more analytical attitude.
• Li Yilin and Bolan: Although Li Yilin does not appear directly, his successful acceptance of Bolan as a disciple drives the chapter’s conflict.
• Nine Swords and Bolan: Their relationship is largely one-sided. Nine Swords had been quietly grooming and supporting Bolan, while Bolan apparently never understood that Nine Swords intended to claim him.
• Nine Swords and his servants: His uncontrolled rage harms the servants, who fear him and flee as soon as he dismisses them.
• Nine Swords and the other powerful figures: His rivals and acquaintances recognize his loss, while their messages teasingly “checking in” deepen his embarrassment and anger.
