Suijin displays a divine power controlling the tides and moving the entirety of the island.

While the island is moving the King hosts a banquet 

"Today is to celebrate these saviors and the blacksmith who crafted the hydra slaying sword"

Everyone cheers them on the heroes of the land of Suijin.

Meanwhile on Murim island

Everyone had switched from Mana to Qi and started using cultivation methods.

Krizz stole the shadow step technique from the grandmaster that took them all in and started teaching it to Granger and Walter.

Based walks in on them training.

"Look there's no use in trying to hide it I already know, I was planning on stealing it"

"So if you do then why are you here"

Krizz questions based motives

"Well the grandmaster is actually the boss for this island so once we defeat him we can move onto the next island, we don't need this large group just us 4 will do"

Krizz, Granger, and Walter take a moment to discuss among themselves but eventually come to an agreement.

"Alright we'll agree, so what's the plan"

"The scroll I have right here is named [the 10 Demon sword techniques], if we learn this we'll have a chance as long as you don't lose your mind when your Qi turns into demonic ki, however we'll have to kill a ton of disciples to cultivate it"

"That works let's start"

After the banquet Zenus and Ashura go to the Castle's Guest room and sleep for the night.

When Ashura and Zenus wake up the king summons them.

Zenus and Ashura arrive in the King's room and announce to them.

"For being the brave heroes of the land of suiten, I award you with 50 gold for your travels and a statue will be built in your honor in the middle of the city"

Zenus and Ashura look at eachother

"50 gold is perfect"

Ashura and Zenus look towards the king

"We thank you for this reward"

The king asks them if there's anything else they'd like and they request a boat.

"We must head to Murim island and regroup with a friend"

The king orders his men to prepare the dock with the nicest boat possible.

When Based Krizz Granger and Walter started cultivating the technique it was strenuous and they nearly lost sanity a few times

"By the way, cultivation techniques don't show up in your skills"

After the killing spree they successfully cultivated it to the 5th technique.

Killing a person and using them for the technique allows you absorb their Qi and cultivation level.
