Synopsis

The chapter details a fight between Lee Sungmin and the Sword Demon, where the narrative explains the concept of 'Sword Energy' and 'Enhanced Sword Energy.' Despite engaging in numerous rounds, Lee Sungmin is outmatched, understanding his incomplete understanding of 'Enhanced Energy' leaves him at a disadvantage. He reflects on his Shaolin training and how his past life memories created an inferiority complex, but recognizes his drive to train stems from his desire to not be weak and responsible for his actions, rather than inferiority itself. The Sword Demon is revealed to be intentionally holding back, showcasing Lee's relative weakness.
