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

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.

My mother was a Goddess,

so why don't I 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 there 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.

[Great Ruler]

[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 ad drawn-out lecture.

I get drowsy when I hear him.

Nonsense. How can I be compared with him?

What's your plan for later?

- Plan? - Yes.

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

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

After all, I'm the only son.

And then,

it'll naturally be getting married and have children.

I still have things to do. I need to leave first.

Luo Li, are you looking for me?

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 more and stronger spirit formations.

I don't have any spirit energy, so I can only study that.

Exam?

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 Three Levels Trial.

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

But you are still going?

I must go, and I must pass the trials.

More important than life?

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

I want to become stronger.

If you have an accident,

Uncle will be sad.

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

- Why? - I'll tell you then.

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.

and defeat all the enemies so that my family will never be harmed.

I know that you have things you must do

and people you must protect. I also have them too now.

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

I'll help you.

Help me?

Exam, go together.

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

To repay you for teaching me talk.

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

No.

My lord, we have prepared 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?

As things are now, this is the one way.

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 bother you with Chen.

Leave 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 gets high results, 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.

Adopted Father, don't worry. I will not disappoint you.

I will judge the best time and not let them have 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 set up Chen's Spirit Finder Formation with many times more power.

Where the spirit energy is flowing to will be clearly visible.

Good. In that case, we shouldn't delay.

Let's move fast, and not let Black Dragon find out.

Otherwise, our two lands will be annihilated.

Safety is the most important. Everyone 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 anymore. - Mu Chen.

How is your preparation?

Me? No problem.

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

I am mentally prepared.

If we don't participate in the Five College exam, why did we come to the Bei Ling Academy in the first place?

Look at those two. Their relationship looks unusual.

I think that kid hasn't wasted time.

Everyone, be quiet.

I'm sure everyone has been expecting 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 of trial

will be qualified to enter the Five Colleges.

However, I will tell everyone a good news.

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

so 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 for this year.

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

The trial's 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 enter? It's too dangerous.

Relax, I'm totally prepared.

Good, It's nine o'clock, and 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 it directly.

The exam happens every year.

But you only have one life. Remember?

Wait, Mu Chen.

Luo Li, what are you doing?

Anywhere you go, I can find you.

Let's go.

Heavens, what has happened between those two?

They've even tied the red rope. 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, ten years. Why haven't my old injuries healed yet?

White Dragon, that damnable White Dragon!

The wounds inflicted by White Dragon, even if there are only 20% left,

can't be healed in a short time.

That Eye of Sky...

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

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

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

If I have the help of 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 feeling anxious after waiting for only ten years.

Who gave you this gut that you dare to talk to me like this?

My Lord, please... please forgive me.

Black Dragon, I like your ambition,

and I will give you whatever I want to give.

But what doesn't belong to you, you should not grab either.

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... - To participate in the exam,

Mu Chen surely knows what consequences he may run into.

But he still enters the exam. Based on that determination,

Do you think I can block him?

Brother, you can feel it too?

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

Something is wrong. Even if it's the spirit energy's agitation,

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 are appearing today, I'll kill you anyway.

What exactly are you wanting to do? Do you want to kill me?

- Luo Li. - Xue Lingzi, kill me.

Otherwise, I'll 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 a 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 have it.

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

You.

Me.

Get down.

Down into water.

Why would I get into water? Where is the water?

- You. - Me.

- Hit. - Hit.

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 is really scary.

I wonder how many classmates, because they are not focused,

are trapped in the illusion.

This is just the first level. We must be careful. Let's hurry on out.

This seems to be the last checkpoint. Right here.

Let's not get lost and separated.

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

It seems that, if we don't overcome it,

we can't get through.

Mu Chen, get back.

This is Bei Ming Gold Pattern Hawk.

- That's the one that 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.

Spirit mantra. It's invincible.

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 it.

Alright.

Tan Qingshan, congratulations. You have qualified for acceptance.

Right now, there is one opening left.

Everyone, be calm.

It's incredible that you weren't eliminated. What a miracle!

I wouldn't want 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.

- How about Luo Li? - Not here, either.

This isn't right. With Luo Li's power, she should have arrived already.

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! I can't hold off the spirit power anymore.

Hurry!

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

Alright.

One.

Two.

Three!

Run!

It seems that we've passed.

It's finally found.

It's lost its power? Why?

It's alright. There will be other ways.

Luo Li, it's all because of me.

If I didn't lose the Mustard Seed Coin, it wouldn't turn out this way.

It's fine. Didn't you say

that you'll find it 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.

You will definitely help you find a solution.

There is one more trial. Let's go.

They're coming.

You've got here early.

Judge, didn't you say only ten can be accepted?

Now there are 11.

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 the illusion.

It's not about overcoming the opponents.

The two of you have a token as evidence.

However, under such an urgent circumstance,

they found each other and together went through the trial.

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 Can Spirit School.

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

Two people in a team to fight.

Because of the special situation this time,

based on the academy's regulation,

Lui 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 don't have eyes, so there is no dispute over death or injury.

But there is one requirement, you must be bare-handed.

No weapons, power utensils,

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 Fang, 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.

Let's send people to plead for help from all the Lands.

Yes.

Are you worried about the fighting contest?

Teacher Mo wouldn't let me come before. It must have been for this reason.

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

- Are you 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 make it easy for me, we won't be friends anymore.

Same with you, Qian'er.

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

You really can talk.

I'm really touched by that.

Next, Liu Yang against Tan Qingshan.

I'll win for sure.

Don't celebrate too early.

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

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

Waste.

Qingshan, go for it!

Go for it!

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

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

but I've never found any clues.

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

This place isn't far from the Longyuan Lagoon.

It also happens to locate in a weaker area at the boundary.

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

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

Do you believe me now?

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

However, if we want to destroy the Longyuan Lagoon,

we have to first break up the boundary.

This boundary was set by Supreme Black Dragon.

If it's broken, Supreme Black Dragon will definitely detect it.

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

we will 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 is suddenly disappearing in the academy.

Many students have been trapped inside the exam location and cannot be rescued.

Mubai.

Qingshan.

Tan Qingshan, you should concede.

How can you be my match?

Liu Mubai, let's bet. I say Qingshan will 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, press on!

LIu Yang, we are all classmates. No need to kill.

- 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 you are supposed to win. - Mu Chen.

Qian'er, Mu Chen is right.

My power is insufficient.

It's good that you know.

At such a disadvantageous position, to be able to fight back

and advanced the Fiery Sun Fist,

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

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

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

Why is it that you talk so sweet today?

Qingshan.

- Break Spirit Ball? - Brother.

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

Judge, I haven't officially competed yet.

It should be alright to use props, 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, this can't be part of the trial?

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 are managing to hold up the boundary,

but if there is no solution, probably within half a day,

all the teachers and students here will die when the spirit energy is totally exhausted and their spirit veins are broken.

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

Teacher Mo, where is Mubai and the others?

Before this happened, they already entered the secret realm.

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

That's useless. Once the exam started, 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, have you seen it now?

What do you mean?

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