Synopsis

The chapter opens with characters planning to avoid suspicion, preparing for an important banquet while keeping a character named Soh in the dark. The focus then shifts to a brutal training session where characters are submerged in cold water, weighted down, and forced to master the flow of energy. They are repeatedly pushed to their limits and told that failing the formation is equivalent to dying. The chapter concludes with the preparations nearing completion, and the main characters completing the training, setting the stage for the banquet to begin.
