Original subtitles

I want to enter the Five Colleges exam.

I want to become stronger.

Not only because I want to rescue Mother, or that I want to be with Luo Li,

but I also want to protect my loved ones forever from threats.

There are a lot of risks in the entrance exam.

You might not enter the Five Colleges, and you might not even be able to protect your own life.

These are all challenges to you.

My mother was a Goddess. I really don't have any spirit energy?

It's fine that I don't have any. I'm used to it anyway.

No matter the danger, I will go for sure.

My good child, you've really grown up.

But, Chen, you must remember

that once you've made the decision you must bear all the risks

and consequences for your decision.

I will remember.

[Episode 4]

Good. Your spirit energy and the formation are combined perfectly.

It's just that your formation drawing is a little off.

It's alright, just practice more.

Actually, the most difficult part of the spirit formation is the drawing.

If you practice more, you will become adept at it.

Liu Mubai, you are pretty good as a teacher.

I think you are better than Teacher Xi.

Whenever he opens his mouth, it's a long and drawn-out lecture. I get drowsy when I hear him.

Nonsense. How can I compare to him?

What's your plan for the future?

- Plan? - Yes.

You can't be a student for your whole life.

After I graduate from the Five Colleges, I will probably return to Willow Land and take over the lordship.

After all, I'm the only son.

And then,

naturally, next would be getting married and having children.

I still have things to do. I'm leaving now.

Luo Li, are you looking for me?

Just passing by. You... what are you doing?

I'm preparing for the Five Colleges exam.

The Five Colleges are the strongest spirit schools in the Bei Ling area.

If I can enter the Five Colleges, I can learn stronger spirit formations.

I don't have any spirit energy, so I can only train this way.

Exam?

I heard it's really dangerous.

Every year, people get hurt.

That's right. There was one year when a student died.

Therefore, the schools canceled the dangerous Nine Levels Trial

and replaced it with the current Three Levels Trial.

But it's still very difficult. Every level is full of dangers.

Yet you are still going?

I must go, and I must pass the trials.

More important than your life?

Once I enter the Five Colleges, I can study more types of spirit formations.

I want to become stronger.

If you get into an accident, Uncle Mu will be sad.

I'm doing this so that he won't be sad.

- What do you mean? - I'll tell you. I can trust you anyway.

I have just learned that my mother,

in protecting me and my father years ago, is still missing.

I must bring her back to reunite my family.

I want to study at the Five Colleges and become stronger.

I must defeat all the enemies so that my family will never be harmed again.

I know that you have things you must do

and people you must protect. I also have people like that now.

If you think of me as a friend, don't stop me.

I'll help you.

- Help me? - The exam, let's go together.

- I'll protect you. - I'll protect you.

To repay you for teaching me to talk.

Alright, then you agree to take me as a disciple?

No.

My lord, we're all ready and can leave anytime.

Good.

How is the situation in Willow Land?

An envoy brought a message saying that Liu Qingtian is already waiting at the Longyuan Lagoon.

My lord, is Liu Qingtian really trustworthy?

At this point, that's all we can do.

Chen, where are you going?

Dad, we are going back to the academy.

Uncle Mu, I will help Mu Chen in the exam.

Dad, don't worry. Just like you, Luo Li is also an advanced cultivator in the Sheng Puo Realm.

It won't be a problem to pass the exam.

Miss Luo Li, then I'll leave Chen to you.

Get going immediately.

Yes.

My child, it's time.

Today, I shall bestow you with the Eye of Sky to help me eliminate the annoying Human Tribe.

Yes. I, Qingxuan, accept the mission.

The Eye of Sky is several times faster than the Eye of Gathering Source in devouring the spirit energy.

Even though it is very efficient but it can be easily discovered.

Qingxuan, you've always been cautious.

That's why I'm sending you this time. Don't disappoint me.

Stepfather, don't worry. I will not disappoint you.

I will find the right timing and won't give them any chance to fight back.

Brother Liu.

Brother Mu, did you attract any attention on the way?

Brother Liu, don't worry. It was all fine.

Good. How do you plan to start the investigation?

I will increase Chen's Spirit Finder Formation with ten times more power.

The flow of the spirit energy will be clearly visible.

Good. In that case, we shall not delay this any further.

We must move faster. We cannot let Black Dragon find out.

Otherwise, our two lands will be annihilated.

Qian'er, safety is the most important. You must be careful.

Don't try to force it if you encounter danger.

There is an exam every year, but you only have one life. You must take care of safety.

- I know. Don't nag me anymore. - Mu Chen.

Are you ready?

Me? No problem.

Don't force yourself. The Five Colleges exam isn't child's play.

I am mentally prepared.

If we don't participate in the Five College exam, what's the point of coming to the Bei Ling Academy in the first place?

Look at those two. Their relationship seems unusual.

It seems that kid has put in a lot of effort.

Everyone, be quiet.

I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to the exam for a long time.

In accordance to the usual rules, there will be three levels of trials.

When you enter the trial site, you will be placed at different locations for different challenges.

The first ten that arrive the third level will be qualified to enter the Five Colleges.

However, I will tell everyone some good news.

Because there weren't enough people that passed the trial in the past,

Bei Cang Spirit School, the strongest among the Five Colleges,

has decided to increase its quota.

It will increase from the customary one to five this year.

So many people are participating, but only ten can pass. This is too difficult.

The trial site is very dangerous. If you are careless, your life could be at risk.

I hope everyone will reconsider carefully before you enter.

Mu Chen, are you sure you want to participate? It's too dangerous.

Relax, I'm totally prepared.

Alright. It's nine o'clock. The trial is about to start.

Everyone, please go to the square and enter the Transfer Formation.

- Mu Chen, don't force yourself. - That's right.

I know. Why do you sound like my dad?

I'm telling you, safety first.

If you encounter any danger, don't fight recklessly.

The exam happens every year.

But you only have one life. Understood?

Wait, Mu Chen.

Luo Li, what are you doing?

Anywhere you go, I'll be able to find you.

Let's go.

Oh god, what happened between those two these past few days?

They've even fallen into a romance now? It's too fast!

This progress really appears to be too fast.

But Luo Li's method is pretty good.

Qingshan, why don't we try it too?

- Just like them... - Let's go.

Liu Mubai.

Eye of Sky?

Ten years, it's been ten years. Why haven't my old injuries healed yet?

White Dragon, that damn White Dragon!

Even if there's 20% left unhealed,

wounds inflicted by White Dragon can't be healed in a short time.

That Eye of Sky...

Why won't you bestow its spirit energy to me?

It's because I need it to eliminate those hidden dangers that are in my way of resurrection.

Don't forget. You were the one that told me that.

If I have the help of the two Eyes, my power can be restored quickly.

I wouldn't need your help.

What? Feeling anxious?

I've waited for five thousand years. You are already feeling anxious after waiting for only ten years?

Who gave you the gut to talk to me like this?

My Lord, please... please forgive me.

Black Dragon, I like your ambition,

and I will give you whatever you deserve.

But you should not snatch what doesn't belong to you.

Yes, Master.

Eye of Sky.

Senior Brother, I wonder what the result of this year's exam will be.

Many students get hurt every year.

But the rule is set by the Five Colleges.

We can't interfere.

Mu Chen is among them. Why didn't you stop him?

- He has no spirit energy...If he-- - Mu Chen surely knows

what consequences he may run into if he participates in the exam.

But he still decided to participate.

With that determination, do you think I could stop him?

Brother, you can feel it too?

Just now, it seemed that something was tugging at my spirit energy.

Something is wrong. Even if it was the fluctuation of spirit energy,

I've never felt this kind of feeling.

Let's go see what is happening.

Luo Li.

What is this god-forsaken place?

It's an illusion.

But why?

Spirit power indeed.

Xue Lingzi.

I don't care why you appeared here today. I'll kill you anyway.

What exactly are you doing? Do you want to kill me?

- Luo Li. - Xue Lingzi, kill me.

Otherwise, I'll eventually kick you out of the Luo Sheng Tribe.

Luo Li, it's me. I'm Mu Chen.

You are Mu Chen? Why are you Xue Lingzi?

Is this part of the trial?

You... you can't hear? How do we get out then?

Why did he have to change into him?

This place must be an illusion created by spirit power.

To get out, we must have very powerful spirit energy.

I've got it.

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

You.

Me.

Get down.

Down into the water.

What do I get into the water for? Where is the water?

- You. - Me.

- Hit. - Hit.

Spirit formation!

I hit the formation.

I understand now.

Who did you see just now? You were so fierce, like you wanted to kill someone.

An enemy. Luckily you saw through the illusion.

Otherwise, you would have been killed by me already.

I'm not that weak. It's good that I didn't hurt you.

But, this trial really is quite scary.

I wonder how many classmates

This is just the first level. We must be careful.

Let's hurry on out.

This seems to be the last checkpoint. Right here.

Then we must not get lost and separate.

Don't worry. We won't get lost.

It seems that, if we don't defeat it, we can't pass this level.

Mu Chen, get back.

This is the Bei Ming Gold Pattern Hawk. That's who ate your Mustard Seed Coin.

- You're sure? - Look at that scumbag look! I'll never forget it.

What's in its stomach is also clearly visible.

Luo Li, don't worry. I'll get it back for you right away.

If your Luo Sheng Sword won't work, then other regular weapons won't work either.

It can't be defeated by spirit mantras.

No wonder this stupid rock is so hard.

And even likes to eat gold and silver. It really eats what it's short of.

Mu Chen, give me a spirit stone.

- Why? - You draw the Repeated Mystery Formation, and I'll divert its attention.

Alright.

Tan Qingshan, congratulations. You have qualified for acceptance.

Right now, there is one opening left.

Everyone, be calm.

It's incredible that you still haven't been eliminated. What a miracle!

I wouldn't bear to leave before you are eliminated.

Where is Mu Chen?

He's not here yet.

He doesn't have spirit power, so I'm really worried for his safety.

- Luo Li hasn't come yet either? - Not yet.

This isn't right. With Luo Li's ability, she should have arrived long ago.

What is it?

I feel something's wrong. The spirit energy is unstable.

I don't feel anything.

I don't either.

Maybe I'm oversensitive.

Hurry! My spirit energy can't hold any longer.

Hurry!

I'll count to three, and we go separate ways.

Alright.

One.

Two.

Three!

Run!

It seems that we've passed.

We finally got it back.

It has lost its power? Why?

It's alright. There will be other ways.

Luo Li, it's all because of me.

If I hadn't lost the Mustard Seed Coin, it wouldn't have turned out this way.

It's fine. Didn't you say that you'll look all over the entire Bei Ling area,

Also the Five Colleges, and the entire Cosmic World.

Alright, I'll do everything that I've promised you.

I will definitely help you find a solution.

There is one more trial. Let's go.

They're coming.

You've all arrived quite early.

Judge, didn't you say only ten can be accepted into the last round?

Why are there 11 people here now?

Indeed. This is a rare occurrence.

Those two must have used some dirty scheme to get here.

Their qualifications should be annulled.

What did you say?

I think, this must be the reason.

The academy doesn't have any rule forbidding the contestants to team up.

So they have not violated any rules.

Brother, why are you helping the outsiders?

Indeed, the first trial is to break through illusions.

It's not about defeating the opponents.

The two of you have a token as evidence.

However, under such an urgent circumstance,

they wer able to find each other and help each other through the trials.

Based on such boldness and tacit connection, it's enough to qualify.

However, no matter how many people can qualify in the end,

there will only be five people who can enter the Bei Cang Spirit School.

For the last round of the trial, the rule is very simple.

Teams of two will fight each other.

Because of the special situation this time,

based on the academy's regulation,

Liu Mubai can directly advance because he has been the top student for the past three years.

The remaining ten will team up by two to fight on stage.

The winners will advance, and the losers will be eliminated.

Spirit mantras cannot be underestimated, so any death or injury will not be called to account.

But there is one requirement. You must be bare-handed.

No weapons, power instruments, and props are allowed.

Understand?

No wonder Teacher Mo told me that this trial is different from the past.

It's because of this.

Now, Huo Yun and Chen Fan, come on the stage to compete.

Senior Brother, what's that in the sky?

Why?

Why can it absorb our spirit energy?

Boundary up!

Senior Brother, this can't continue.

We won't be able to last much longer.

Send people to plead for help from all the Lands immediately.

Yes.

Are you worried about the fight later?

This must be the reason why Teacher Mo wouldn't let me come before.

Great, I will definitely be beaten up all over in a little while.

- You're afraid? - No!

If I can't even pass a fighting test, how can I save my mother?

I will help you when the time comes.

Thank you, but I can't rely on you for the rest of my life.

Mu Chen, don't look so worried.

We have so many people here. Maybe it will be our own people fighting each other.

Qingshan, if you go easy on me, we won't be friends anymore.

Same with you, Qian'er.

Don't worry. If it is me, I will fight with full force.

You really have a way with talking.

I'm really touched by your words.

Next, Liu Yang against Tan Qingshan.

I'll win for sure.

Don't celebrate too early.

We are both at the Spirit Wheel Realm. It's not certain who will win.

My Spirit Wheel Realm is not the same as your Spirit Wheel Realm.

Garbage.

Qingshan, you can do it!

You can do it!

Brother Mu, why did you bring me to this cave?

For 10 years, I've been searching for the secret of Longyuan Lagoon,

but I never found any clues.

Luckily, Chen found this cave in the secret realm of Bei Ling Academy.

This place isn't far from Longyuan Lagoon.

It also happens to be located in a weaker area of the boundary.

Brother Liu, just look around carefully with your own eyes.

Brother Liu, you have seen it with your own eyes now.

Do you believe me now?

The Eye of Gathering Source is not beneficial to Bei Ling at all.

However, if we want to destroy Longyuan Lagoon, we have to first destroy the boundary.

This boundary was set by the Supreme Black Dragon.

If it's destroyed, the Supreme Black Dragon will definitely find out.

Besides, the Dragon Palace is very close to Longyuan Lagoon.

That's why we must act under extreme secrecy, and must succeed with one strike.

Brother Liu, the tree wants to stay still but the wind won't stop.

If we wait until the time when all the spirit energy has been exhausted in the Bei Ling area,

we will really be hopeless.

My Lord, Teacher Mo is pleading for help from all the Lands.

What has happened?

Teacher Mo said in his message that the spirit energy in the academy is suddenly being drained out.

Many students are trapped inside the trial site and cannot be rescued.

Mubai.

Qingshan.

Tan Qingshan, you should concede.

- How can you be my match? - Liu Yang will win.

Liu Mubai, let's make a bet. I say Qingshan will definitely win.

I say Liu Yang will win, not because he is my younger cousin,

but because he is faster and has stronger power.

Qingshan cannot win.

Still won't admit defeat?

You are underestimating me too much.

Fine.

- You got careless. - Qingshan, keep it up!

Liu Yang, we are all classmates. No need to go so far.

- Qingshan! - Qingshan!

Qingshan!

Are you alright?

Classmate Liu Yang, congratulations.

Admit defeat now?

Qingshan lost, because he is less skilled.

Be it skill or spirit level, you are stronger than him.

- So it's only normal that you won. - Mu Chen.

Qian'er, Mu Chen is right.

My ability is lacking.

It's good that you know.

At such a disadvantageous position, to be able to fight back and advance the Fiery Sun Fist,

you must have already exceeded the Spirit Wheel Realm and entered the Sheng Puo Realm?

Soon, it's not impossible that you'll surpass your older cousin, Liu Mubai.

There is still quite a gap between me and my brother.

Why are you speaking such sweet words today?

Qingshan.

- Spirit Breaker Marble? - Brother.

Liu Yang, you cheated. No wonder he beat you.

Judge, I haven't officially competed yet.

It's not considered breaking the rules to use props now, right?

Alright.

The one that passed the trial is Tan Qingshan!

Qingshan, congratulations.

Thank you, Mu Chen.

Liu Yang, what's wrong?

Qingshan.

He has no spirit energy at all right now.

Judge, is this part of the trial?

[Tang Shan, Lord of Tang Land] Brother Mu, I just received Teacher Mo's emergency plea.

I immediately came over via the Transfer Formation. What exactly has happened?

Brother Mu, all the Lords,

I believe everyone has seen it.

Even though we've managed to hold up the boundary,

but if we don't come up with a solution,

I'm afraid within half a day, all the teachers and students will lose all their spirit energy,

and die from broken spirit veins.

So I hope everyone will think of a way to save the students at Bei Ling Academy.

Teacher Mo, where are Mubai and the others?

Before this happened, they had already entered the secret realm.

I don't know what their situation is like now either.

That's useless. Once the exam starts, the portal to the Transfer Formation is closed.

Only Teacher Xi can open it with the spirit key.

But...

Brother Mo, I will help you.

Brother Liu, do you see this?

- What do you mean? - When the Nine Eyes appear, it means the Heavenly Evil Lord has resurrected.
