[The Great Ruler / The Great Lord] Ripped & Synced by AlvinNo

When the Nine Eyes appear, the Heavenly Evil Lord is resurrected.

In order to propagate his clan, Black Dragon willingly serves evil

and subdues many forces to be used by the Evil Lord.

Legend says there is only one young man

who can make everyone let go of grievances, so that the world will return to clarity.

He possesses the bloodline of three divine tribes,

wields spirit formations, and rules a divine sword.

Can harness the eight sections of Buddha and the power of thunder and lightening. Sees enemies as ants.

No one can get within three meters of him.

A chaotic war is about to begin, but many divine warriors are vanquished by the Evil Lord.

That youth will safeguard the world with his own power

and become the Great Ruler who stands between Heaven and Earth.

But at this time, this youth, Mu Chen

is born with sealed spirit veins and is looked down upon by everyone.

He is quite different from the one described in the legend.

In the face of the pending chaos that will swept over all the living beings,

how will he be able to shoulder this difficult mission?

[Great Ruler]

[Episode 1]

[Mu Land - Herds Land]

All living beings possess spirits.

Whether it's birds and animals in the mountains, fish and insects in the waters,

even wilted flowers and plants, mountain ranges and rocks,

they all have spirits flowing within. But me,

am I really a waste?

Dad, my clothes are newly bought. Be careful not to tear it.

[Mu Feng - Lord of Herds Land] You stinky kid, have you been bullied again?

Except for Qingshan and Qian'er, everyone else says I'm a waste without spirit energy.

[Mu Chen - Young Lord of Herds Land] - Everyone looks down at me at the academy.

A person's power

does not depend on whether he has spirit energy

if he can activate spirit formations,

but rather, it depends on whether his heart is truly strong.

Even though you don't have spirit energy,

your talent in spirit formations cannot be matched by most people.

Dad, I can only draw spirit formations now. I can't activate them at all.

If I can't activate them, what's the use?

You can still become a top master in spirit formations

as long as you are willing to study hard.

Besides, I let you study at Bei Ling Academy,

but it's not to groom you into a warrior.

But I don't want to become a waste.

You are slighted at the academy, but all this

is a trial to sharpen your mind and will.

If someone doesn't have a steadfast will, no matter how powerful he is,

he will ultimately fall into the deviant path.

Let's go.

The exam for the Five Colleges is about to start. You need to prepare well

and comprehend spirit formations even better.

Don't worry, Dad. I won't give up.

My Lord, Young Lord.

Enough now. You should return to Bei Ling Academy.

I need to talk to your Uncle Zhou.

[Zhou Ye - Herds Land General] My Lord, now that Young Master has grown up,

do you plan to keep hiding

the truth of that incident from him? He should know about it.

It's not the right time yet.

[Bei Ling Academy]

Brother Mo, I'm bothering you to take care of my child, Chen.

Don't worry, even if I don't do it for you,

I'll do it for Ah-Jing to take good care of Mu Chen.

[Tan Qingshan - Herds Land civilian]

Good move. You actually evaded my Mountain Fist. It's like "fast as chu zi."

You smart aleck, Tan Qingshan.

You always do this one move, and call it Mountain Fist?

Also, that saying is "fast as running rabbit."

"Chu Zi" refers to a woman. Can you have some brain?

Ancient wise men said, as long as you concentrate in cultivating,

even one move can help you succeed.

Those two stinky kids, Mu Chen and Tan Qingshan, don't diligently attend school

but sneak out every day to have fun.

However, the two kids have a good friendship.

It's really thanks to these friends who have been staying by Mu Chen's side.

Isn't this Mu family's son and his sidekick? [Liu Yang - Liu Mubai's younger cousin]

What, are you ready to go back to school with your thick faces?

Mu Chen, do you smell a strange odor?

- Why is it so stinky? - Right.

It seems that there is something moldy and stinky next to us.

It's really too disgusting.

Go. Let's go quickly.

Qingshan! Are you alright?

Liu Yang, what are you doing?

I'll give you one chance to apologize to Qingshan right now!

Give me a chance?

The two wastes at Herds Land actually will give me a chance?

My son Chen hasn't had his mother by his side since his childhood.

I'm also busy with all the affairs in Herds Land every day

and have neglected in disciplining him.

But, he is quite talented in spirit formations.

I hope Teacher Mo will give him extra guidance

to help him grow up fast.

Liu Yang, out of respect for your older brother, I won't hurt you today.

Don't use my brother on me.

It's been so many years, why haven't you learned something good from your brother, Liu Mubai?

Quit your nonsense!

Why are you not showing off anymore?

You think you can beat me with your amateur props?

Without spirit energy, you are just a waste.

You even want me to apologize? You hurt me, you should apologize to me!

The incident at Longyuan Lagoon from ten years ago still heavily in my heart.

The eyes inside the lagoon were really ominous.

Soon, it will be time to switch the guarding of Longyuan Lagoon with Willow Land.

I need to go back and make preparations.

Brother Mo, I'm entrusting Chen to you.

Don't worry.

[Tang Qian'er - Princess of Tang Land] What's the matter with you two? Got beaten up again?

Sister-in-Law, why are you being nosy again?

Who is your sister-in-law? I've said it many times that I won't marry Liu Mubai.

Sister-in-Law, don't joke.

You and my brother have been betrothed since childhood. Who else but him can you marry?

I'll marry anyone but him. Besides, it's none of your business who I marry.

Have I ever acknowledged the marital agreement? If you acknowledge it, you marry him!

My brother is the Young Lord of Willow Land.

How can he not be a match to you, the Princess of Tang Land?

Furthermore, you shouldn't be playmates with those idiots.

You...

Just hit.

Greetings, Teacher Mo.

- Fight some more, - Greetings, Teacher Mo.

then you won't participate in the Five Colleges exam.

It's been three years. The four of you

always have the same drama. Aren't you tired of it?

No.

Current students are forbidden to fight privately. Anyone that disobeys will be expelled.

Have you all forgotten this rule?

The exam is coming up. If you violate the rule again, then you won't need to go to school anymore.

Really?

Except you.

Fight. Keep fighting.

My Friend, Teacher Mo, our Luo Sheng Tribe is encountering a calamity.

I am sending my granddaughter, Luo Li, to the Bei Ling Academy for temporary refuge.

Now that Xue Sheng Tribe is upon our border,

our tribe's future is dependent on her.

I greatly plead for your care of her.

Respectfully, Luo Tianhe.

Say it. Where's the Goddess?

-Did all the guards die? -Yes!

But you must capture the Goddess alive.

Yes!

When the spirit stones are gone, then we're doomed.

Without spirit stones, the spirit core cannot provide any power to the spirit formation.

But I don't possess any spirit power.

How can I let any one with spirit power to become the formation core?

When the mountain won't come, I'll go to it.

All I need is someone who has spirit power to voluntarily come inside.

Spirit Binding Formation.

This is the only spirit formation I remember that doesn't need to be activated by spirit energy

Should I get Qingshan to try it out?

[Luo Li, Goddess of Luo Sheng Tribe]

Wow! I can't believe it was a success!

The results are not bad!

You...Who are you?!

Young lady, I apologize. I'll let you out right now.

Even if I die, I won't go.

Xue Sheng Tribe?

You think I am from Xue Sheng Tribe?

Oh please. Xue Sheng Tribe is ugly.

Look at me. Do I look it?

Enough now. I am not from Xue Sheng Tribe.

Look at this. This. I'm Bei Ling Academy's student.

I am nothing to do with Xue Sheng Tribe.

I didn't intend to capture you.

I was just practicing Spirit Binding Formation

If the Spirit Binding formation needs trapped spirit energy to work,

then will suppressing the trapped spirit energy allow it to open?

Young lady. This is my first time practicing this spirit formation.

So it'll still take some time to unwind this formation.

No spirit energy? A formation that doesn't require spirit energy?

I set up this spirit formation specifically because I don't have spirit energy.

Over there!

Let's go.

Where is she?

She actually thought I was from Xue Sheng Tribe.

Xue Sheng Tribe is located in the faraway Western Sky Continent. Why would it be here?

Besides, they are so ugly.

Am I ugly?

The Spirit Binding Formation is still not good.

Won't even trap a lady.

Your grandfather is my old friend.

Taking care of you is what I ought to do.

Taking care of you

Feel at ease staying at our Bei Ling Academy.

Luo Li, this time coming to Bei Ling Academy

you must be looking for the Jiu You Sparrow, right?

That's right.

The Jiu You Tribe is a leading divine tribe.

It is famous for its speed, strength, and pride.

At the Luo Sheng Festival, when you offer the blood of the Jiu You Sparrow,

you will be acknowledged by the Spirit of Luo River.

If you can succeed in passing the trial, you will obtain

the power to call on the Spirit of Luo River, and become knowledgeable about the cosmic world.

Our Luo Sheng Tribe will be able to return to our peak

and will never be threatened by the Xue Sheng Tribe.

This copper piece is called Mustard Seed Coin.

[Luo Tianhe, Clan Chief of Luo Sheng Tribe] It will lead you to the Jiu You Sparrow.

I've heard that the Jiu You Sparrow has appeared with Bei Ling's territory.

But, no one knows the exact location.

Oh yes, Luo Li. Where are you in your cultivated spirit realm?

I'm approaching the Sheng Puo Realm.

You are indeed from an ancient divine tribe. At a young age, you are already in the same realm as I am.

Among the students in Bei Ling Academy,

probably only Mubai is at a similar realm as you.

However, the Jiu You Sparrow is ranked number 11

among the journal of ten thousand fantastic beasts.

Even with Sheng Puo Realm, it will still be difficult to conquer it.

If you want to get her blood, the journey will be full of dangers.

Mustard Seed Coin. Grandfather gave me. Find Jiu You Sparrow.

What's wrong?

Mustard Seed Coin... it's missing!

Luo Li, don't get anxious. First think carefully

when was the last time you saw the Mustard Seed Coin?

I can't believe it was a success! The results are not bad.

It was him.

Who?

A student.

A student? If he's a student from our Bei Li Academy

I can help you find him.

Detestable.

Leader, the Goddess seems to have entered Bei Ling Academy.

She won't get away.

Miss Qian'er, this is the Bird of Paradise flower that I've watered with the morning dew every day.

It is perfect to match your elegant poise. Please accept it.

Miss Qian'er, this is the Eternal Wisteria from the Western Sky Continent.

It will change along with your emotions.

Then I will accept this. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Look at these people. In order to get close to Qian'er, they put in a lot of thought and effort.

Mu Chen, what are you thinking about?

Nothing. I suddenly remembered a girl that I saw yesterday.

I think I've seen her s

Yesterday? Who?

While out practicing the Ling Fu formation, I trapped a young lady.

Come here.

Mu Chen this little rascal. When did he have such luck with women?

Mu Bai, what are you doing?

Teacher, I've organized the files from the past two days. [Liu Mubai, Young Lord of Willow Land]

The log of newly acquired spirit stones is also completed.

Next, it will be assigning the teams for Junior Brothers and Sisters' practice trials.

Okay. Very good.

I was thinking, why don't you be the head of the academy.

I will retire.

Teacher, how is that appropriate?

I am still young, and my cultivation is only near the Sheng Puo Realm. How can...

Eh...Stop. Stop.

I was kidding. You really want to be the head of the academy?

Teacher, were you looking for me for a reason?

Yes, there are indeed two reasons.

First, the Five Colleges' entrance exam is about to start.

Have you thought about where you're going?

Forget about Ten Thousand Phoenixes. You are male, so you can't enter.

Blue Sky Spirit School specializes in controlling magical beasts, and is not suitable for you.

The other three: Divine Spirit School specializes in spirit mantras.

Martial Spirit School is famed for battles.

Bei Cang Spirit School is the leader among the five colleges and is strong in all disciplines.

With this comparison,

you are good in martial arts, spirit mantras, and spirit formations.

Bei Cang Spirit School will only accept one student from our academy. Therefore...

Teacher, I indeed haven't thought it through yet.

Please let me thinking about it for a few days.

You're waiting for Qian'er decision right?

Okay. That's up to you

but there's something I need you to do.

Teacher Chen, please say it.

Miss, where on earth do you want to bring me to?

Bring it over.

- Bring what? - Mustard Seed Coin.

What "Bi?"

Stop. Private fighting is forbidden inside the academy.

You can be expelled by private fighting. Withdraw your sword first.

Tell me more clearly about what "Bi" you're talking about.

Mustard Seed Coin!

Copper piece. Bird design. Very special.

Miss, do you have a problem here?

Can you talk more clearly? Don't just say a word at a time.

What copper piece, with bird,

Something special. What's special about it?

This.

This is my personal item. I won't let you see it.

Stop.

Take it back. Don't stare at me using that gaze.

There's only food in here. Nothing else.

What's wrong with people nowdays?

If you can't find your things then you look for me.

Do we know each other? We don't.

If you lost your things then go find where you lost it at.

I searched yesterday and didn't find it.

I only met you.

So you lost your thing yesterday and didn't find it.

You only met me so you think I took it?

Let me search.

It's not that I'm not allowing you to search but even if you do, there won't be anything.

I, Mu Chen, never lie to people.

Why don't you trust me?

I... I'm telling you. Be careful.

I have a lot of friends. You... you don't mess around.

Do you believe that I'll go call my friend over here right now?

I don't bully girls.

You must be Junior Sister Luo Li.

Liu Mubai, you came too late.

Mu Chen, did you make trouble again?

I really didn't this time. She's messing around.

Junior Sister Luo Li, I am Liu Mubai, also a student in this academy.

I'm not interested.

Teacher Mo told me to take care of you.

No need.

Junior Sister, private fighting is forbidden in the Bei Ling academy. Why are you wanting to fight Mu Chen?

The item.

Mu Chen, what did you take from her?

I didn't take anything from here. She came and said that I took her item.

I can't fight against her fighting skill.

Give it to me.

Liu Mubai, you should give this dumb girl a lesson.

Let's go.

Qian'er.

Mu Chen, can you do this? Why are you getting beat everyday?

Do you think I want to? I was walking and encounter this girl who's so rude.

She pointed me with her sword saying that I took her item.

Qian'er, we are all schoolmates. Harmony is the number one guidance. Don't get upset.

Whether I'm mad or not, what does that have to do with you?

Junior Sister Luo Li, based on Mu Chen's character, I believe he would not steal from you. There must be a misunderstanding.

That's right.

Mu Chen.

Look at how she withdrew the sword. So dashing!

Mu Chen, hurry and say it. Did you take her item?

I didn't. I don't even know her.

Then that's weird.

Maybe she actually likes you?

I tell you, there are a certain kind of girls who will

at especially unreasonable to the ones they like.

How is it related to him?

Mubai, thank you again.

You're welcome.

Qian'er, the Five Colleges exam is coming up. I want to ask you—

I don't want to answer.

You must want to ask her which school she wants to apply.

Right now, no matter how you ask her, she will only answer you with one sentence.

I know. "How is it related to me?"

But, relax. With me and Qingshan, we'll definitely find out for you.

Really? A promise is a promise. You'd better not go back on it.

Don't worry. Once I've given my word, even eight horses cannot chase it back.

That's, "even fast horses cannot chase it back." Let's go.

My Lord, it's not time to change guards yet,

but Willow Land's Lord Liu Qingtian has hurried to Long Yuan Lagoon.

Is the auspicious sign there so magical?

The giant eye in Long Yuan Lagoon can greatly enhance cultivation. However...

Give it to me.

Copper piece. Has bird.

Very special. Mustard Seed Coin.

How long will it take me to find it this way?

Heaven above, can you tell me

where that stupid Mustard Seed Coin is?

Could that be... Mustard Seed Coin?

[Bei Ming Golden Pattern Hawk]

That... Senior Bird, you can't eat that thing.

Put it down. I'll buy something good to eat for you.

Wait!

Mu Chen, so you're back.

Mustard Seed Coin.

Miss, I was looking for your coin just now.

Look me, how dusty and ragged I am.

No need to poke around. It's not here.

Quit looking for it. It really isn't here.

You won't find it even if you keep looking.

I looked around for a long time at the place we met.

I finally found it.

But, it was eaten by a shining giant bird.

Eat it.

How can this be eaten?

I know that you don't believe me. Just ask Qingshan, I never lie.

Qingshan! Qingshan!

What did you do with him?

Miss, what kind of divine being are you?

Why do you want that Mustard Seed Coin?

Even if I'm the one that lost it for you,

why don't I find a replacement for you?

No.

These are my spirit stones. It's not easy to gather them.

This is the spirit formation I drew when I was punished for skipping school.

If you like it, just take it.

You can't poke around that. That's my clothes. Men and women must keep distance.

Enough.. You can quit worrying now.

Can't you release Qingshan first before you leave?

Mu Chen. Mu Chen!

What is this all about?

Why can't you make a fake one for her?

I never lie. Don't you know that already?

Let's read books first.

He...hello.

Qingshan!

How can you forget friendship?

Such a coincidence. We meet again.

I'll show you. Nothing here. Nothing there.

Nothing inside. Also nothing in my sleeves.

I don't have it.

[Teacher Xi, teacher at Bei Ling Academy]

Today is the last class before the Five Colleges' exam.

We will practice one more the release technique for spirit formations.

Luo Li, you are new to school,

do you know what a spirit formation's release technique is?

I... technique...

Spirit formation's release technique.

First, you must maintain the stability of the formation's core.

Next, the formation must be drawn accurately.

Last, infuse a great amount of spirit energy into the formation's core. In other word, be stable, accurate, and fierce.

Stable, accurate, fierce.

I was asking Luo Li, why were you answering?

No need to thank me.

Today, we will practice the Spirit Rain Formation.

Even though the Spirit Rain Formation is only a first-tier spirit formation,

it can be wielded to command rain and winds.

I'll draw it first. Everyone should look carefully how I draw.

What rules are there to draw a spirit formation?

A spirit formation should be full of diverse changes.

A spirit formation drawing should be drawn completely with one stroke

and then activated with spirit energy. Remember,

one mistake will destroy the entire formation.

That's why when you draw,

you must be extremely careful.

Depending on your own level of spirit energy,

you can also determine the formation's size and strength.

Among wind, thunder, rain, and lightening, rain and lightening are the strongest.

let them each become a formation core, that will give the best result.

Mu Chen, stop immediately!

Your idea is good, but you must consider your strength.

There is always risk in creating something new.

The trial that's coming in 10 days is the last trial for the Five Colleges' exam.

Any aspirants for the Five Colleges must prepare well.

If you can't even past a small trial,

then you may as well forget about the Five Colleges' exam.

This trial will also use the method of team scoring.

Hope you will find and form teams in advance. Class dismissed.

Trial?

You don't even know about trials?

Bei Ling Academy will conduct the trials in Secret Realm.

This trial should be about competitive teamwork.

Fight. No expell?

No expelling. You don't violate the school rule when it's inside the Secret Realm.

Then I should leave first. Bye.

Mu Chen, let's agree first.

You don't have any spirit energy. If you run into any danger, don't fault me.

Based on our relationship, if I run into dangers,

I will definitely run faster than you.

You rascal.

Mu Chen, I'd better leave first. I wish you happiness together.

You used the wrong proverb. Ran so fast!

- What's up? - Form team.

Form team? You want to form a team with me?

Let me state this first. I don't have any spirit energy and will drag you down.

I don't care.

You just want to monitor me.

Miss Luo Li, you need to know this. Even if I stole our Mustard Seed Coin...

No, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, if if stole it,

I wouldn't put it on me. So, you can monitor me,

but it's useless. Understand?

Don't understand. Form team.

How is it you're so dumb?

Alright then, we'll form a team. But I have a condition.

Speak.

I want to be with Liu Mubai.

[Dragon Palace]

[Supreme Black Dragon, Guardian of Dragon Tribe]

It's all White Dragon's fault. He took away the Da Xu Magical Cane.

Otherwise, I could have revised these dragon eggs long ago.

Black Dragon, you're actually serving the Heaving Evil Lord. Have you forgotten about 5 thousand years ago?

Only with the power of Heavenly Evil Lord's Da Xu Magical Cane,

will our Dragon Tribe be revived.

I will not allow you to do it this way.

Da Xu Magical Cane cannot become a slaughtering weapon.

In this trial, teams are formed with two people in a team.

Each of you have received a jade jar that can collect spirit energy.

The trial is simple. After you kill a magical beast in the secret realm,

the magical beast's spirit energy will automatically be collected into the jade jar.

When you have filled the jade jar, bring it out of the secret realm, then you will have completed the trial.

What does that mean?

For the trial, the magical beasts in the secret realm must be of the snake kind.
