On the mountain, Kai Syaoran cultivated the thirty spear arts he had gotten from the sect. His calm life moved on without any interruptions. Every now and then, he would hear about the amazing deeds of Long Chen.
He also heard that Long Chen had made a vow to defeat him during their planned duel for the title of Devil Nemesis in fifty years.
Whenever people mentioned Long Chen, they also mentioned the only person to ever defeat the formidable Long.
Lin Min, the Devil Nemesis became famous for his mysterious cold nature and his overwhelming power.
With this, Kai Syaoran achieved his objective of becoming famous in the sect without making this the focus of his life. He was free to spend his time looking for merit points and cultivating the Dao of the spear.
Six months after the competition which Lin Min had turned into Long Chen's goal, Kai Syaoran completely mastered the thirty spear arts he had gotten using all his merit points.
