458 The little Divine Dragon wakes up and is now a fifth ranked expert and can talk. He warns SL of LAT’s approach. SL feels the gap between her and other martial artists (since she started training a decade later than them and even genius has its limits).
459-460 LAT catches her, but she manages to delay her death by tempting him with the texts she took from the secret library, promising to lead him to it (oldest trick ever). Tempted, he warns her not to get any funny ideas before tying her up.
461-462 SL has the dragon bite her rope apart, escaping while LAT is cultivating.
