Synopsis

This chapter delves into the specifics of Denir's trial, explaining that prolonged stays in the consciousness realm cause significant mental stress, making it difficult for talented individuals to progress. Lee Sungmin, however, managed to endure years in this realm due to his 'dullness,' which allowed him to cope with the immense mental strain. Upon his return, he has difficulty adjusting to his weak physical state, and ends up back at his old training grounds to re-adjust where he encounters Ji Hak.
