• Adrian appears among the crowd and admits that he is effectively Sakura’s captive or “toy.” A Dragon Fighter condemns Adrian for allowing himself to be tamed and steps forward to challenge Sakura.
• The chapter explains the Fighter power system:
  • The first stage tempers the bones and strengthens the body.
  • The second stage awakens the “steel nature,” forms a fighting heart, and produces Steel Qi.
  • The third stage involves Burning Soul Steel Forging, in which the Fighter forges body, heart, and technique into a supreme personal weapon.
• Fighters have reached a bottleneck after Burning Soul Steel Forging. A future breakthrough could upset the balance between kingdoms and potentially lead to the rise of a Sixth Empire. New Roya’s people also believe Aldrich’s awakening could transform the political order.
