I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Jin has settled into a slow life as a farmer, worried only about drought. The blurb treats his previous bloodshed as behind him.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- A shady organization begins looking for Jin (publisher blurb).
- His cat goes off to fight in a martial arts tournament. The wiki ties the cat to the Dueling Peaks tournament, but we cannot confirm which Volume 3 chapters cover it.
- His chicken finds an ancient crystal 'containing portents of doom' (blurb). The wiki names a spirit inside an ancient crystal, Shenguashi, but does not tie it to a chapter in our cache.
- The wiki's Volume 3 mentions include Chapter 18 ('reach out') and Chapters 43 and 48-50 (power displays). We cannot confirm what the chapters contain.
