[Opening OST: "Young Warriors"] [By Wang Sulong — Lyrics by Wang Sulong and Zuo Muxiu]

♫ The dark green sea is hazy ♫

♫ dissipating in a flash. ♫

♫ Rivers and lakes divide the world. ♫

♫ Ten thousands arrows are firing at once. ♫

♫ Who has time to worry? Who loves the color of blood? ♫

♫ At that time, spirits are high. ♫

♫ Everywhere is home, who can dare let his horse freely run? ♫

♫ Silently, tears form in the death of night. ♫

♫ Heroes are cutting all ties, ♫

♫ giving up whether it's life or death, ♫

♫ never asking what the cost is. ♫

♫ Good and evil must be distinguished. ♫

♫ The wind blows off the snow. ♫

♫ On the body, etch multiple scars, ♫

♫ wandering all over the world, ♫

♫ only wish to ask for answers from this world. ♫

♫ A teenager doesn't have to be a hero. ♫

♫ There is no need for flowers in the dream. ♫

♫ Destiny need not be afraid. ♫

♫ Because you have him all the way, ♫

♫ experienced a handful of conquests, ♫

♫ overcame a number of challenges. ♫

♫ From now on, happy and free! ♫

♫ The only wish is, with the world, ♫

♫ would come along the willing of change. ♫

[Legend of Awakening]

[Episode 10]

Stay alert!

Minmin.

What do you think about these adorable disciples?

Do you like them?

Don't gloat too soon!

I have many more ways to torture you.

Be sure to wake up early to come here tomorrow!

Greetings, Master! Please allow us to kowtow to you.

Save your energy!

Leave it for the convention!

Brother, Luo Ting made you break one of the Pneuma Confinement's chains.

You can use two kinds of pneumatic powers now, you're way stronger than him.

Master Chu Min, why did my pneumatic power split as well,

but I couldn't learn the Pneuma of Strength like them?

Are you hiding something from me?

Your Mo family's imperfect bloodline are destined to have incomplete meridians.

You won't be able to learn the Pneuma of Strength.

That's why during Soul Splitting, you're the only one who lost all five senses.

You'd better give up earlier.

What's with the long face?

Sometimes, the level of martial arts isn't determined by the amount of pneumatic power

but the usage of it.

Certain techniques need the usage of multiple pneumatic powers simultaneously.

The arrangement and grouping of the six pneumas are endless.

The derived techniques will also be endless.

This is the essence of pneumatic power.

Assassin Boy still doesn't understand.

If they are properly combined, having five pneumatic powers won't be a loss.

Having one less pneumatic power to train on,

the other five pneumatic powers will be more refined.

I got it! So this is good news.

Just like I used the Pneuma of Energy to dodge Eldest Senior's Pneuma of Sound.

After that, I used the Pneuma of Pivot to sprinkle the knockout drops.

I could assassinate while staying invisible at the end.

Su Tang, how about it?

With my martial arts, I can surpass Eldest Senior now.

I want to train alone.

- After Xifan's Soul Splitting, it seems he totally changed, did his brain get smashed that day? - Master!

I won't be wrong in my judgment.

Maybe something went wrong during the Soul Splitting.

Eldest Senior! Are you all right?

I'm fine.

When my brother wants to hide his injury from me,

he has the same expression as you have right now.

Tell me first! What happened to you?

Didn't you restore your hearing because you had broken through the Soul Splitting in the Tripitaka Sutra Pavilion?

How could you lose the Pneuma of Sound now?

I used excessive force that my meridians are blocked.

It's nothing serious.

Blocked meridians?

Was it because when you saved my brother in the Tripitaka Sutra Pavilion,

your Soul Splitting wasn't complete and yet, you still helped him, that's why your meridians are blocked?

- I'm going to find my brother. - Su Tang!

Be careful!

I checked the ancient records.

Halting the Soul Splitting is unsolvable.

What will be, will be.

I'll let nature takes its course.

The time will come.

It was my own choice.

Lu Ping doesn't owe me anything.

You shouldn't tell him about this.

You should at least rest for two days.

The convention is just around the corner.

Su Tang, I'm still Wind Takers' most senior brother.

I don't want to be a burden or useless to anyone.

Do you understand?

Eldest Senior, your candy.

I'm worried about Eldest Senior, too, so I came to take a look.

Brother, how can you sleep at a time like this?

Brother! Do you hear me?

You shouted so loud, even the deaf can hear you.

Then, you should quickly think of a solution.

Eldest Senior already said, "What will be, will be."

What can I do?

He's the eldest disciple.

He can still fight with broken legs.

Can he not handle a small problem like this?

I still have something to do, I can't chat.

Do you still have that Osmanthus candy?

Mo Lin!

Su Tang is being filial towards me.

Giving it to this guy is better than letting you have it.

Enjoy it!

Why are you following me?

We're guys! Don't you understand?

You're actually cold on the outside but warm inside.

The meaner you are towards someone, the more you actually care about them.

I guess you're definitely thinking about the way to help Eldest Senior.

Right, Disciple Brother?

What did you call me? Disciple Brother?

Yes, you're my disciple's God-brother, so you're Disciple Brother.

Otherwise, why would I run all the way to appease you?

Assassin Boy.

I told you before, I'm not a boy.

You accepted the mission to kill me back then.

Wasn't it to earn money and venture the pugilist world?

Why are you clinging to my sister and not leaving?

You tried for so long, why didn't you give up?

Although that brat, Su Tang, has great strength and is fierce towards me,

she's actually quite kind.

I'm used to living alone.

If I were to leave now,

without Su Tang's fierceness, your loathsomeness,

Guo Youdao's shamelessness, and Xifan's coldness,

I'd feel like something is missing.

What's missing?

During the Soul Splitting, I was thinking,

if I couldn't survive it,

everyone would get bad luck.

So I must protect you guys.

Instantly and inexplicably, I could move.

Honestly,

getting a disciple isn't that important,

having an excuse to stay is good enough.

Oh right! When I broke through the Soul Splitting, I was thinking about you guys.

Who were you thinking of?

Could you...

- Su Tang? - Su Tang!

[Li Tailor Shop]

When I broke through the Soul Splitting, I was thinking about you guys.

Who were you thinking of?

[Li Tailor Shop]

Miss, this is the lotus flower pastry you wanted.

In my opinion, General Qin's decision isn't unreasonable.

That Luo Ting isn't a good guy.

Lu Ping looks unreliable and is just a second-rate lad.

He also humiliated you in public.

Miss, if it's unbearable, I have an idea.

I'll bring my people to drag them back now.

Peel their skin off to ease your anger.

Listen carefully! You can do whatever to Luo Ting.

However, Lu Ping is under my command! Without my command, nobody can touch him.

But...

Lu Ping is under your command?

Miss, you're still protecting Young Master Lu.

Wen Rui is right! He's just a second-rate person.

But when he's serious, it's reassuring to let him watch my back.

It's me!

Young Master Lu, you're too rash! How dare you trespass a general's residence?

If they discover you, you'll be shot to death.

Did you hear her?

The Agile Dragon Army is just outside, waiting to peel your skin off.

My skin is rough and tough, the army wouldn't be bothered.

But regarding the Soul Splitting, Qin Qi didn't give you a hard time, right?

Did you come here because you're worried?

What's this?

It's for you.

Take a look!

Did you bring this as an apology or is it part of your scheme again?

This... Didn't I tear your clothes last time?

When I look at it, if you were to wear it, it should look quite nice on you.

Right, the Soul Combat Convention will happen soon, so there are many candidates.

Not every candidate can meet Wen Gecheng.

So I came here specifically to inquire about Wen Gecheng.

Inquire?

Do you know under Shuo's laws, what's the punishment for bribery is?

Bribery?

Ziyan, call Wen Rui! Tell him someone trespassed our residence.

Ziyan, bring my brush here!

I can't accept this bribe for naught.

She's from a government official family indeed, how did it become bribery?

- She mistook my kindness for malice. - Young Master Lu!

Miss Ling.

This is from Miss Qin.

When the Mountain and Sea Gang was hunting down Mr. Wen back then, my brother saved him.

My brother takes him as his confidant.

In addition, he's the chief examiner of the convention.

To prevent fraud, no one can get near him.

But this Pneuma Combat Convention is really meaningful to my brother, he'll definitely be there.

Provided that you pass the preliminary exam, you'll definitely meet him.

Miss Qin said, the answers to your questions are in the letter.

If you don't want to be skinned, don't bring trouble to the Qin family.

I thought she was dumb, I can't believe she always surprises me.

I also thought your mistress hates me the most for she thinks I'm a heartless person.

No, that's not true.

What's not true?

The person who may seem heartless is, actually, the sincerest one.

Young Master Lu, you are actually the sincerest person.

Did your mistress say that?

Yes.

Miss Ling, it's getting late, you should go back.

Young Master Lu, actually, I can go home later.

The convention is near, do you have anything I can help with?

Now that you mention it, I almost forgot but I'm not sure if you're willing to help me or not.

Tell me!

My Eldest Senior is stubborn.

He doesn't listen to me.

If Miss Ling can help me unravel his trouble...

Halting the Soul Splitting is unsolvable.

What will be, will be! I'll let nature takes its course.

The time will come.

If I can never use the pneumatic power again, I should at least relearn my blade techniques.

I can't be everyone's burden.

Xifan!

- Miss Ling. - I'm sorry!

Hero Xifan, I brought this for you.

It's fine, it's fine!

Is something troubling you, Hero Xifan?

I was sold to the Qin family since young, so I'm quite perceptive towards other people's emotions.

If anything is troubling you, you'll feel better if you say it out loud.

I'm a useless piece of junk.

You're not useless.

If it wasn't for you, I'd have already lost my life in the Tripitaka Sutra Pavilion.

Miss Qin and Young Master Lu wouldn't have escape unscathed, either.

You put your life at risk to save others, you're a hero.

Wind Taker Institute has a united front, you'll definitely succeed in the Pneuma Combat Convention.

Young Master Lu definitely won't complain that you're a hindrance.

It's getting late, I'll take my leave then.

Miss Ling.

Did Lu Ping send you?

Some sickness can only be cured by ladies.

Which girl did you cheat to get this Miss Ling?

A silly girl who looks stern.

Brother, is this real?

Pneuma Combat Convention's preliminary exam is in ten days.

We can finally meet Wen Gecheng.

[Kaifeng City]

[Qin Residence]

The convention will start soon, why are you still here?

Today's Pneuma Combat Convention, Uncle Wen will be there, right?

Sir Wen is the convention's chief examiner, I already sent someone to pick him up.

What? Why are you still standing here?

If you come late, even if you're my sister, I won't tolerate it.

The convention is starting, why are you smiling instead of getting nervous?

Brother, as your sister, I'm a woman of her words.

I feel at ease then.

Eldest Senior, look at the fluttering flags of the other martial arts academies!

Ours is the only shabby-looking ones, like a miscellaneous army; we look poor, don't we?

Tell me! Why didn't Master prepare for us?

Pneuma Combat Convention is about martial arts, not about putting on a show.

These symbolic items aren't important.

Brother, can we really meet Wen Gecheng this time?

This time,

we definitely can.

[Mount Wansui]

Even at the Pneuma Combat Convention, you're still wearing your shabby clothes.

Listen to me, just go home! You're embarrassing yourself by staying here.

Qin Qi is here.

Disciple, don't let him frighten you, I have seen much of the world.

I'm very clear about how this will go.

After this, it's most likely that he'll talk about saving the state and upholding justice.

When you all come to this convention, you have already been aware of the enlistment.

Death is common in the cruel battlefield, it's the same for today.

Pneuma Combat Convention will begin.

Those who fear death, please leave now; stay if you're willing.

After wearing this waist tag, you've signed the oath of enlistment.

There's only superiority, your life matters not.

Pneuma Combat Convention's first round is to test everyone's pneumatic power.

As long as the entire team passes a total of four stages,

they will advance.

As for the rest, let your strength speaks for itself.

There are many people here.

Let's get to the second round first and wait until there are fewer people.

You may start.

Command tokens are hanging on the top of the tree.

Rely on the Pneuma of Energy's lightness skill to rise to the top.

Whoever can retrieve the command token may pass. [Energy]

- Where's the rest? -There's one more guy.

- Watch out! - He's laying still.

- Come down! - What's wrong?

- How can he be this bad? - So silly!

- Just come down! - Are you all right?

Try harder! Can you train for two more years?

Let it go! Come down quickly.

- Come down if you can't! Let it go. - That's right!

Stop it! You can't reach it.

- You can't reach it. - Come down.

Watch out!

- Are you all right? - Are you okay?

The pose isn't important, the most important is the result.

Shining Sky Academy and Wind Taker Institute have passed the stage for the Pneuma of Energy.

In every corner of the forest,

six musicians are playing the same song.

Everyone needs to use the Pneuma of Sound

to identify their current location and mark them on the map.

Whoever can identify more than three musicians

may pass the stage for the Pneuma of Sound.

I'm done! I've marked all six musicians. Check them!

Not bad! All your answers are correct.

But the exam hasn't ended.

As per the convention regulations,

you must play the song you heard

to prove that it's the song you heard and you didn't cheat.

Only then will you pass this stage.

The exam on the Pneuma of Sound requires me to play music and know musical notes.

It's a rule established by Sir Xia personally.

I believe all of you are from prestigious academies.

It's not difficult, right?

Lu Ping, Kaifeng belongs to the prominent families after all.

All of you are a bunch of wild kids, you're nothing.

Lu Ping, I tried my best and finally passed two stages.

I thought you nailed the stage for the Pneuma of Sound, did you get a stomachache?

Whatever! It's supposed to be an exam for officials initially.

Those from prominent families will have the upper hand inevitably.

But we must pass four stages out of the six stages.

Unfortunately, I just unlocked the Pneuma of Essence and it's poorly used because of the disruption of Soul Splitting

We can only count on Su Tang now.

[Strength]

Miss, for the test on the Pneuma of Strength,

everyone must lift more than five stone dumbbells to pass.

You look weak and thin, it's better if you give up.

Now, I only passed the test for the Pneuma of Vision.

For this round, I have to win.

All right, I understand the rule. Let's begin!

All right! The test on the Pneuma of Strength begins now.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Put me down!

I'm afraid of heights.

Three adult men are putting all their hopes on a young lady.

Let me tell you! I just passed five of the tests with flying colors.

I heard that someone was completely humiliated in the test for the Pneuma of Sound.

Young Master Wei, you talk so much nonsense,

why don't you taste the good stuff I have?

I really want to see how long you guys can stay here. Let's go!

- Brother. - Su Tang.

- I passed. - Disciple, are you okay?

I did tell both of you about those elites who gather at this Pneuma Combat Convention.

Can't you figure a way out? You can't just depend on my luck.

Su Tang, you did great!

I was the one holding you guys back.

Eldest Senior, don't listen to Mo Lin.

The goal of Pneuma Combat Convention is to gather elites from various regions.

It's not odd that the standard are higher.

Let's go home earlier and rest well, maybe you'll recover tomorrow.

General, this is the list of those who passed the preliminary exam.

Reassign some camps of the Agile Dragon Army.

Let them stay in the camp area during the convention to prevent cheating.

Drawing lots is coming next, we need to prepare for tomorrow's second round of tests.

That's right, General.

Do you know which martial arts academy the simplest team belong to?

I think I saw an old acquaintance among them.

It's Wind Taker Institute! It's the institute where that kid, Lu Ping, is from.

Sir, he harbors evil intentions, not worth mentioning.

The snowfield was freezing cold.

He would've been long gone.

Sir.

Sir Wen.

I'm fine! I just recalled some past memories.

Brother, Uncle Wen, I passed the exam.

Wen Rui, send Sir Wen to his room.

Yes.

Is Uncle Wen leaving?

Can't you stay for a while?

Maybe... Maybe someone wants to find you.

Sir Wen has an old illness.

Could any matter be more important than his own health?

Sir Wen.

Bad timing! I need to find Lu Ping.

Brother, what's wrong?

Take a seat first! This convention isn't as simple as we thought.

This round tests us on the four pneumatic powers and the next round can be problematic, too.

We must figure out a way to meet Wen Gecheng, we can't just be idle to take the exam.

Then, what about Eldest Senior? Also, what about Master and Mo Lin?

Lu Ping!

I've been looking for you guys. Follow me now!

My uncle Wen has already left.

All right!

Wen Rui should've sent him back to his residence.

My brother is handling matters, so he won't be back for a while.

Take my horse!

For the drawing lots, I'll ask Xifan to do it for you.

[Zhiwei Study]

General gave his orders.

Three years ago, your cardinal was damaged in the snowfield and you need to recuperate.

General will handle the matters of the convention.

Who's there?

General Wen, it's fine.

I think it's a wild cat playing in the garden.

Then, rest well, Sir! I won't disturb you anymore.

I'll take my leave.

- See General Wen out. - General Wen, please!

You've been hiding for a long time.

Why don't you come out and meet me?

Why did you lie for me?

At my place, I always have youngsters wanting to get in through the back door.

I can feel your pneumatic power.

It has no killing intent.

I think you're not targeting me.

I didn't talk about the back door.

I just want to ask you something.

Did the Mountain and Sea Gang

cause your injury?

You know about the Mountain and Sea Gang?

It's already in the past.

Since you mentioned it, I'll tell you a story.

Three years ago, when I was the pugilist world,

I saved a brilliant young man from the Mountain and Sea Gang.

However, a short while after I saved him,

we encounter the people from Mountain and Sea Gang who were hunting us down.

I was outnumbered and got heavily injured.

I lost all my martial arts.

General Qin saved my life.

So I've been following him ever since.

You lost your martial arts...

it's to save that child.

It's only martial arts.

A person's life is more important.

Although I no longer have martial arts,

I still have my eyes.

General Qin treats me well.

I can still contribute to the country.

A loss can be a blessing in disguise.

Sir Wen,

allow me to also tell you this old story.

Thirteen years ago,

a lonely boy was kidnapped and brought to the Mountain and Sea Gang.

He was tortured for a long time.

He initially thought he was going to die there...

until a hero came and saved him.

After the boy was saved,

he has been searching for his savior,

but he couldn't find him.

He only knows

that his savior is called Dao. (TN: A thief)

Pneuma Confinement.

It's really you.

You're still alive.

Dao.

No!

Uncle Wen,

I found you.

I wonder if the four "sauce boxes" (TN: a loving curse for his four disciples)

were beaten black and blue or not.

How can my disciples lose?

The four of them have entered the second round.

All right!

Wind Taker Institute is going to be famous this time.

Are you sure Lu Ping will fight for Wind Taker Institute in the end?

You should know that he has a motive.

Don't I have a motive as well?

What Lu Ping will choose in the end?

Let's wait and see!

These past three years, Su Tang and I have been staying at the Wind Taker Institute.

Our master might be reckless,

lazy, greedy, and a drunk,

but he treats us very well.

I'll take you to meet him if possible.

All right.

Ping'er.

Ping'er?

Ping'er.

Ping'er!

Ping'er!
