Lin Shen re-seized the title of Dual King, and his practice of blade and fan skills became even more efficient.
The proficiency of both blade and fan techniques also improved continuously through his self-confrontations, but as time passed, the margin of improvement became quite limited, not as rapid as it had been at the beginning.
"Chief of the Heavenly Institute, His Majesty has returned and summons you to the Imperial Palace," Tian Congyun came to fetch Lin Shen for an audience with the Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Shen, not daring to delay, followed Tian Congyun once more into the Imperial Palace.
However, this time, the Heavenly Emperor did not summon him in the Splendid Palace as before but in his Bedchamber Study.
Lin Shen stood outside, glancing around; there were curtains in between, so he couldn't see what Emperor Tianshu looked like.
