Ji Zhan entered the sealed Myriad Text Academy under an imperial order to probe Su Xiuyi, who pretended that his strength was crippled and his survival depended on a Curse Will Character. After Ji Zhan left, Su Xiuyi wondered why the emperor of Great Zhou cared about his condition and recalled Wang Lin’s warning to beware the emperor.

• On a ruined battlefield, the drunkard and a gambler teased the Wusheng Saber Saint about the unclaimed Will Character, and the Wusheng Saber Saint grew uneasy.

Su Xiuyi refused the Wusheng Saber Saint’s offer, judging that accepting the Will Character or becoming his disciple would put him in danger. As the three-day deadline passed, Meng Zhige took the scroll back to the Battle Sect and offered to wait for Su Xiuyi to claim it there.

• Ji Zhan and Ji Wuming concluded that the mysterious disciple had refused the Wusheng Saber Saint, but took pride in his remaining a Southern Heaven Academy disciple.
