How did you find me?

Intuition

I lost!

Luo Li! You...how?!

Mu Chen wins!

Luo Li!

Luo Li. Luo Li!

Didn't you say you were going to give it your best?!

Why then did you trick me?

You're angry...

Dean Ling Xi is one of the top in this era with strong power.

If you can enter under her tutelage, you will be greatly benefited.

Two different things. You deliberately helped me.

This just means that I'm my strength is insufficient to make me come first place.

It seems you've forgotten why you want to be the strongest.

These responsibilities that you want to bear

just based on this, you can become Ling Xi's disciple.

Even so, I am not strong enough, that's why you have let me win.

You are new to cultivating spirit energy and still don't understand yourself yet.

But I believe in you You are strong!

You are able to win the first prize

Then promise me that next time we try you will definitely go all out

The first and last time

I believe you can overcome any challenge with your strength

I promise you, Luo Li, on the next assessment

I will definitely rely on my own strength to get first place.

Also, aren't you speaking too soon

Your spiritual progress is much faster than mine

[ Episode 7 ]

Mu Baii! Who would have thought

That the last person standing here would be me

Not quite true

So awesome.

Who would have thought that this would be so intense

Mu Chen, you'd better concede now.

This binding force will only get stronger.

No to mention that you are no match for me, even for someone who is stronger than me,

once trapped by me, will not be able to escape.

Mubai, I will not concede.

Oh no, Mu Chen will lose this time.

Oh no!

Mu Chen, what are you thinking about? Quickly release yourself!

Mu Chen, you still haven't given up?! It's impossible you'll win

I won't give up, I promised Luo Li

Fool!!

You clearly can't beat him, why force yourself?

Oh no, Mu Chen's spirit energy is running low.

Considering that you shared spirit energy with me,

I will help you

Jiu You, I don't need your help

What are you doing?

You are wounded already, do you think you can beat Liu Mubai by yourself?

I still wouldn't need you.

- It's Jiu You! - What is going on?

It was clearly Mubai in the advantage.

Jiu You return!

Mubai!

Mu Chen wins!

Congratulations to you.

Mu Chen,

Mubai, what happened? Are you okay?

What just happened?

I also don't know

The first place was not me, it was Mu Bai.

What is it?

I didn't achieve what I promised. I'm still too weak.

What happened? Aren't you willing to tell me?

I didn't do what I promised. How can I mention such shameful thing?

I saw a purple ray. Is it Jiu You?

You mean, the owner of Grand Fu Tu Mantra is one of these two.

Right. It so happens that these two are separately the heirs to Willow Land and Herds Land.

It'll be helpful to get Supreme Black Dragon's assistance

What's going on with Black Dragon?

The plan has been made.

I have decided to visit the Mu Manor and Liu Manor to investigate.

and see if I can determine which one is the inheritor to the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

Go ahead. I'll be waiting.

Chen, drawing formations?

How was the competition the result?

Number one.

Okay!

Isn't this what you wished? Why are you looking so down?

Dad, I'm tired.

Why aren't you happy? You won.

Jiu You! It's you who won, not me!

Don't you always want to be strong and prove yourself? I was only helping you achieve this!

I want to win properly, not with your help. This is cheating.

Cheating? What does that mean?

You Humans are so complicated. A win is a win. But you want to be proper?

If our tribe has to be proper when hunting, I would have starved to death.

This is different. If you give me what you captured,

- how will it prove that I can hunt? - What's this about mine or yours?

Our blood veins are already connected. What's yours are mine, and what's mine are yours too.

Besides, I feel bad when you are wounded.

My spirit energy will be reduced. Why are you so stuffy in the brain?

This is not about being stuffy.

What? Are you only happy if you lost to Liu Mubai?

Or, if I'm wounded and you'll be happy?

Jiu You, Liu Mubai wouldn't hurt us, but for me to win unjustly,

it's disrespecting Mubai, and also disrespecting Luo Li who has trained me for such a long time.

I really want to win, but I want to win properly

relying on my own strength, not with your help.

Troublesome! Troublesome! Really Troublesome!

From now on, even if your hands and legs are broken, I won't save you!

Stinky rascal, don't know what's good for you.

Tell him to enter, call the Prince too

Yes.

Greetings, Lord Mu.

My Lord, this formation drawing has a rare power.

The formation won't only gather all kinds of spirit energy from the world,

if it is activated by a fated person, it may even reveal Heavenly Emperor's secret formation

to combine the highest power and authority in the world.

What?

Chen'er, come.

Dad!

What do you think about this spirit formation drawing?

Chen'er!

Sir, your formation drawing is mysterious and vicious.

Why are you giving it to Herds Land?

I wonder what technique was used by Young Lord.

- It is so powerful. - This is none of your business.

Herds Land isn't interested in this. You can leave.

The guest is leaving.

This way, please.

Are you okay?

Young lord, I'll ask you again.

Just what kind of power is inside your body?

Don't chase them.

My Lord, that evil person used techniques from the Xue Sheng Tribe.

Is it possible that it's a diversion tactic, but they are actually heading toward Miss Luo Li?

It shouldn't be. If it's aiming for Miss Luo Li, it wouldn't be making such a scene.

His target is possibly Chen'er.

Maybe the Xue Sheng Tribe came to revenge?

Mubai.

Are you unhappy about losing?

Or about losing to Mu Chen?

Mubai, you don't want to talk to me?

I've got nothing to say.

Mubai.

Don't mind me.

So Mu Chen has the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

As it is, then let's continue with the plan.

[Liu Zong, Willow Military Adviser]

This formation drawing won't just advance your strength to the next level,

it has a hidden military strategy that can help you conquer the world.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Don't fault me, My Lord, but I sense that

you are ambitious and wouldn't be satisfied with only Willow Land.

You must have a purpose by coming here.

Tell me. What is it that you want?

I'm not pursuing money or fame.

I only wanted this as a proposal in order that I become a guest adviser.

Okay. I promise you.

It seems that you have a grand objective.

I welcome people like you.

My Lord, wouldn't you reconsider?

What?

Even though this formation drawing looks mystical,

but it is also imbedded with a sense of ruthlessness and slaughtering.

Liu Zong, a spirit formation does not differentiate between good and evil.

If the user is kind, then it's a benevolent formation.

If the user is evil, then it's an evil formation.

Liu Zong, with what you say, are you doubting my character?

I don't dare. I just hope that my lord will think thrice.

Enough. I don't want to hear anything else. You're dismissed.

Yes, my lord.

You've spoken out more than enough today.

What? Liu Song is dead?

Yes, my lord.

You're dismissed.

Yes.

You did it?

Yes.

Lord of Willow Land, how's about we have a good talk?

Okay.

Lord of Willow Land, I only want what's good for you.

Liu Song is your younger cousin.

In Willow Land, he has high stature and great authority.

Even those you've given those to him,

but we don't know if he harbors betrayal.

Harsh punishment will set an example to warn the others.

Only when Willow Land completely obeys you,

will there be high morale when you attack the others.

I know your ambition goes beyond Bei Ling Prairie.

I also have the capability to help you accomplish your wish.

It depends on your attitude.

How can I trust you?

I won't hide it from you. I was sent by the Supreme Black Dragon.

- Supreme Black Dragon? - That's right.

Haven't you already planned with His Supreme Being to deal with Herds Land?

My Lord, don't worry. No matter what, in the Nine Realms,

Only you and I know.

There won't be a third person.

Therefore, the future of Willow Land must be decided by yourself.

Who would have thought that Liu Mubai would lose.

Right, I thought he would have won easily.

Liu Mubai is known as a rare talent unseen within several decades.

How's he going to look at other people in the face?

Yeah.

Mu Chen. Was it because of me?

Why are you here?

I noticed there was someone in the classroom, so I came in to take a look.

Instead of congratulating Mu Chen, why did you come here?

I hear that it's the first time you've lost to anyone.

Correction. This is my first time to lose to someone of my age group.

You must be taking it hard.

You're a goddess so you wouldn't understand.

Very bitter. Looks like I failed again.

I understand.

You do?

The weakest person in the academy,

the person who I used to think I should protect, has defeated you in public.

That person is also your friend.

You wouldn't understand.

I've lost before in front of everyone in the tribe.

It happened a year before I came to Bei Ling Prairie.

For the first time, I lost to someone in the tribe that is my age group.

After that, even though they appeared to be respectful to me,

but I know that they were gradually not acknowledging me as Goddess.

They even started discussion

whether to marry me off with the Xue Sheng Tribe in exchange for peace.

That's why I'm here to search for Jiu You blood, to prove myself.

Even though I felt sad, but later I was actually more relieved.

The failure that time has motivated me even more to prove myself.

But there's one thing that I really can't understand.

And that's how it feels to lose to a friend.

Because I don't have friends.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

Actually, I've seen a lot after coming to Bei Ling area.

It's different from what people in my tribe had said.

What's that?

Even though you humans have a shorter lifespan, but you have very strong willpower.

Even if you are small or weak, you would stand up at the crucial times.

The mot important is that you are willing to share your thoughts and hearts

and become really close friends.

That's why I envy you all.

We are also willing to share our thoughts and hearts with you to become friends.

I know that, that's why I cherish this feeling.

Celestial Cinnamon Wine?

I saw that you tried it in class but always failed

Didn't I fail again? I wonder what it's like this time.

That's right.

Everyone, Liu Zong has died of illness. I am deeply saddened.

For many years, Liu Zong has assisted me in governing Willow Land

so that we have the prosperity now.

Now that there is no more Liu Zong,

That's why I've decided to have Faceless Daoist take the seat of Liu Song.

and co-govern Willow Land with me.

My Lord, Liu Zong was very healthy. How did he suddenly die of an illness?

I am very surprised too.

Maybe because he practiced spirit mantras for years,

and the inflammation caused his spirit veins to close off.

I appreciate the honor from you, My Lord. I will do everything

I will do everything to fulfill Master Liu Zong's last wishes.

When the Young Lord completes his study and returns,

I will certainly return this go-governing position.

Do your job according to where you work.

Everyone, I will now issue a few new commands.

First, reorganize the military preparation.

Provide spirit stones to the entire military.

Second, gather the war formation masters to start practicing the formation.

Third, all the township lords will mobilize their forces to wait for Lord Liu's orders.

My Lord, are we entering a war?

Don't panic. This is just to prepare for the unexpected.

My Lord, the Nine Realms are at peace now.

We must not needlessly believe rumors.

All the new rules were decided when I and Faceless Taoist discussed.

If anyone disagrees, it's insubordination!

- We do not dare. - We do not dare.

Mu Chen. Mu Chen. I'm coming in.

What's with this attitude?

You're also acting like this?

What do you mean 'also"?

Your good buddy, Liu Mubai, is acting just like you, being all cold towards me.

If he's being cold towards you, then go see him about it. Why look for me?

I... I was feeling annoyed by myself.

When I saw him like that, I felt even more annoyed.

I came to have a chat with you, but didn't know you are this way too.

Both the winner and the loser of the fight are looking down.

You two are really good brothers.

What's wrong with you?

You won. So what are you unhappy about?

I didn't win on my own.

Are you saying the very last strike?

It was coming from Jiu You.

Jiu You? How'd that happen?

At the Bei Ling Prairie, our veins got connected.

Even so, she won't hurt me.

No wonder that Mubai was defeated by you.

A win is a win. A loss is a loss.

If you really think that you don't deserve the number-one ranking,

you should go tell Liu Mubai the truth, and give him the title.

You are truly on his side.

Yeah. Of course, I want him to win.

You have the time to blame yourself, but don't have the time to get energized.

As I see it, it's not just your fighting power that's weak.

You...

It seems that he's been greatly affected by this incident.

It's my responsibility.

Yes, so you should recompense me.

Recompense what?

Go talk with Liu Mubai, so that he is not so lifeless.

Alright.

Okay, then it's set.

Also Luo Li. Bring her back too.

No problem. I'll go to Bei Ling Academy right now.

You're really not coming with me?

I'm not going. I've been too nice to him lately.

It's time to teach him a lesson.

- Young Lord, you're back. - Why are you wearing funeral garb? Who died?

Young Lord, you don't know?

Lord Liu Song died from illness.

Cousin.

How exactly did Uncle die?

That day, Father went out to discuss things with Uncle. On the way back, he...

The physician said that it's because the spirit veins were closed off and the blood flow reversed.

Uncle said it's inflammation caused by long-term practice.

Oh right, there is something else.

That day, Faceless Daoist was at Uncle's place too.

Faceless Daoist?

He is dressed in a weird way, but Uncle really trusts him.

In the entire Willow Land, all the ministers now listen to him.

You mean, he has taken over Uncle's position and become Father's military adviser?

Exactly.

What happened at the residence that day?

I don't know.

Lady Luo Li.

Uncle Mu. What's going on?

Recently, someone came with a killing formation and wanted to become my close adviser.

But he had an ulterior motive and almost hurt Mu Chen.

- Is he okay? - He's fine.

It just that he was almost harmed by that person's Black Nether Blood Curse.

- Black Nether Blood Curse? - Yes.

Xue Sheng Trible. They've come again.

I only know that this person knew Xue Sheng Tribe's techniques,

but we know very little about him.

They came for me.

Miss Luo Li, don't think too much about it.

This has nothing to do with you.

I have something to tend to. I'll be going.

- Mu Chen!- Luo Li.

Did Xue Sheng Tribe come to bother you again?

Not at all. They weren't the same killers from Xue Sheng Tribe like before.

But Uncle Mu said that person used Black Nether Blood Curse.

Black Nether Blood Curse isn't only known to the Xue Sheng Trible.

You're going out?

To the academy.

Go together.

- Father. - Uncle.

Mubai, let me introduce you.

This is Face Daoist, who is taking over after Liu Zong.

Nice to meet you, Young Lord.

Faceless Daoist is intelligent and knows many strategies. He is particular adept at management.

Mubai, you will eventually rule Willow Land,

so you must learn from Face Daoist.

Please give me guidance, Daoist Master.

I'm humbled.

I happen to have a question for you.

I wonder why we've been organizing the military and mobilizing the forces in Willow Land?

This... of course it's based on Lord Liu's order to prepare for the unexpected.

Prepare for the unexpected?

Even though there is peace among the Nine Realms,

there are still people who are coveting and watching Willow Land.

If we don't practice precaution early on,

we may not be after to counter when the time comes.

You've only just come to Willow Land for a few days,

how did you know that there are people coveting and watching Willow Land?

Or, perhaps you already know those who are coveting and watching Willow Land?

Whether I know them or now, I am a Willow Land person now.

Of course I will be loyal to Willow Land.

This is the best.

I wanted to go to the academy to talk to Mubai.

Talk about what?

Admit that I am too small, reckless, and too weak.

I only thought of myself, and never cared about other people.

But, if I didn't say all that, you probably wound't do this now, right?

No, you should have said what you said.

It's also what I wish for.

I only thought of my own win or loss.

Actually, for many things, the most important is not about the results but the process.

What do you plan to do with Liu Mubai?

I'm going to apologize to him. Whether he forgives me or not,

I'll still take him over to Qian'er.

He'll definitely forgive you.

Luo Li, should I get Mubai a present to go with my apology?

A fan.

Give him a fan. His fan isn't any good anymore.

Good. Then I'm going back to make one.

Mu Chen!

Actually, there's something I want to ask you.

Are you the boy who saved me ten years ago in the Dragon Palace?

Mu Chen, you may never know

how important you are to me.

Since childhood, because of my special status,

Grandfather was extra strict with me to protect me.

That's why I've never had friends since I was young.

Added to that is the discord in Luo Sheng Tribe,

all the brothers and sisters keep distance from me.

Except you...

Do you know?

Back then, the moment when you leaped to protect me,

my world completely changed.

The coldness, suspicion,

and all the taboo that Grandfather forbade me, all seemed to cease to exist.

But I can't only think about my feelings.

I don't want you to get hurt.

I know that Xue Shi isn't the only killer from Xue Sheng Tribe.

There are others too.

But now, only I can help you out of your difficulty

and also resolve the crisis for my trible.

Mu Chen, I don't want to leave you either.

But, I don't have a choice.

Luo Li, have you remembered it all?

Qian'er told me.

I didn't remember it.

If she hadn't mentioned it, I think I already forgot it.

Good, that's good.

Mu Chen, I need to go to Luo Sheng Tribe's sacred mountain.

I heard that there is something that can substitute for Jiu You's blood.

- I'll go with you then. - No need.

Only people from the Luo Sheng Tribe can enter that place.

- There won't be any danger. - Luo Li.

See you after three days. I'll be fine.

Luo Li!

Watch your safety! Be careful!
