You have to exchange spirit leaves for the permission voucher to enter the trial field.

The more advanced the trial field is, the more spirit leaves are required.

Is this... the Thunder Land?

18,000 spirit leafs?

What is this place?

The best dormitory only costs 288 leafs.

Thunder Land is a forbidden area.

Other than the North Sea Dragon Rock,

during all of these years, no one has been able to enter,

not even the top master of humans, Senior Brother Shen Cansheng.

Where exactly is this Thunder Land?

The entrance to the Thunder Land is impossible to find. Other than Dean Ling Xi,

no one knows.

Luo Li, not even Senior Brother Shen Cansheng can go there.

We’d better give up. Let's find the scrolls first.

[The Great Ruler]

[Episode 15]

Senior Sister Sun'er!

Why did you want to find me?

Look. It's for you.

This is...

I promised I'd treat Senior Sister to lunch. I'm definitely keeping my promise.

I don't know what Senior Sister likes to eat.

That's why I got a bit of everything.

This must've been really expensive.

No. I didn't spend that much.

Right, are you going to continue with the martial arts class?

Of course I will!

I’m not a quitter.

Since the first time you entered the classroom, I knew.

You are too humble.

You need to grow an edge.

- My sister favors this kind of students.- Grow an edge?

That's right. You should try to look a lot tougher.

Be a hard nut.

Like this?

You look like a bear...

You practicing like this... do you not want to live?

If I don't practice like this,

how can I restore the Liu Territory and avenge the deceased ones?

So is your entire life centered around revenge

and restoring your land?

Then tell me.

What else can I do?

What are you doing? I don't need your pity!

I'm not pitying you.

I just want you to live like a person.

Look at yourself.

I almost can't recognize you.

To remove the spell,

you’ll need a Herbal Jade Knot.

In the whole world, there's only a place, called Thunder Land,

where you can find one or two growing.

The entrance to Thunder Land is impossible to find. Besides Dean Ling Xi,

no one knows it.

You came.

Miss, calling me out this late... is there anything you need?

Xuantong, I need you to help me with something.

Goddess, please say.

I'll break into Thunder Land.

The Murmuring Power is indeed magical.

Not only did it heal my old wound,

it also improved my power greatly.

- Congratulations!- How are the preparations for raiding the Five Colleges going?

The Five Colleges are really well guarded. I had my men searching in the surrounding area,

looking for a way in.

Based on my current abilities,

I'm more powerful

than all Five Colleges combined.

After we conquer them,

the Dragon Clan

will be able to unite Beiling.

Madame, the Black Dragon is planning to attack the Five Colleges.

He has sent Evil Punisher to capture disciples of the Five Colleges.

Madame, should we send our army to help out?

I won't do this kind of stupid thing.

Although my adoptive father wants me to help him,

I will still use my own methods to assist.

There will come a day when Black Dragon will come begging to me.

I take my leave.

I have something to report to you, Madame.

What is the situation in the Bei Cang Spirit School?

The entire school is under curfew. The target has also appeared.

Everything is going according to your plan.

However, please remember not the spread the news

about the descendent of the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

Rest assured, Madame.

Luo Li.

Qian'er.

You went to find him?

You look very tired.

I believe he is still the kind-hearted

and upright Liu Mubai.

If it was not because Willow Lands was decimated,

he wouldn't have become so extreme.

What do you plan to do?

My father is also responsible for the decimation of Willow Land.

I will definitely stay by his side.

I will help him recover.

Qian'er, I really admire you.

You're always able to stay beside the person you admire.

What does that mean?

Can't you stay by Mu Chen's side?

I am the goddess of the Luo Shen Tribe. I have my duties and responsibilities.

Before I leave, I will cure Mu Chen's eyes.

So you are still leaving?

He probably doesn't know.

Otherwise, based on his personality, how could he be like he is now?

I don't want to tell him.

Qian'er, there is something that you and Qingshan have to hide from Mu Chen.

What?

Luo Li entering the competition to exchange spirit leaves,

do we have to hide it from Mu Chen?

What happens if Mu Chen finds out?

Please don't let him know!

If! I'm saying "if".

Do you want Mu Chen's eyes to be back to normal?

Of course I want to!

Then let me ask you. Other than Luo Li, who can fix Mu Chen's eyes?

Can you? You can't.

Luo Li is doing this

for Mu Chen not to worry.

- But... - Stop saying "but".

Just listen to me. It's not wrong.

How many?

I'm still lacking a lot.

Okay. Let me try.

You to try? What do you mean?

I'll help you earn some spirit leaves. We can achieve more with more people.

Mu Chen is my friend, too. How can I let you be the only one to work?

Qingshan, I sincerely thank you.

But... with your current cultivation,

you are still not suitable to go fight on the stage.

Why am I not suitable? Isn't it the same as fighting?

I don't know how to explain it to you.

What if we make a bet?

Bet what?

Let's compete on controlling spirit energy.

We will each solidify the spirit energy into a ball.

Whoever cannot withstand it and gives up first, that person loses.

Okay! We can bet this. Luo Li, let me tell you.

I have been practicing controlling spirit energy since I was young.

This time, you really cannot get a win over me.

We don't know who is going to win or lose.

- Let's start. - Okay.

I won.

Why is it like this?

Qingshan, you are good at fist martial arts.

Your attack movements are fierce and strong. You are not suitable to battle on things that require delicate maneuvers.

However, if you keep doing this, your body will not be able to handle it.

Without Mu Chen, I wouldn't be in this world.

What there is left to say, is whether or not my body can or cannot take it.

Okay. Be careful.

I will. Please remember that we have to keep this from Mu Chen.

I do not want him to worry about me.

It's nice to stay here.

At least I can see you.

You still know to come visit me? I thought you forgot about me.

How could I? How is your spirit energy recuperating?

Since coming here, I felt a very strong force of spirit energy.

It's been very helpful for my recovery.

However, I cannot leave the Fu Tu Tower.

Hence...

How about this? You can point out the way to the spirit energy. I will go and find it.

Once you have regained your spirit energy, we will cultivate together. And get spirit leaves together.

I originally thought that you'd be pretty lifeless after losing your vision. I didn't think you'd be this optimistic.

I can't see anything, but at least I have you guys by my side.

For friends, for family,

I should continue to look towards the future.

You must be Mu Chen.

Yes. That's me.

I am one of the martial arts students.

I never expected that I could attend martial arts classes with you.

I have heard a long time ago that in the Herds and Willow battle, you protected the city by yourself.

I have admired you for a long time.

Thank you. I only did what had to be done.

Although you are blind,

we have all seen your prowess in your Heart Formation.

Oh, right, everyone from your class is always competing.

How come I haven't seen you compete yet?

You said that people from my class are always competing with others?

That's right.

Why are you here alone?

Luo Li, you finally came back.

I was worried that it was too dangerous for you to be alone on the trial fields, so I came over.

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

Please remember: the next time you go to the trial fields, please take me with you.

Right now, the trial fields are actually a bit dangerous for you in particular.

Once you get better, we can go together.

Mu Chen, I'm tired. You go rest.

How long do we have to keep fighting for?

Luo Li!

Mu Chen, it's me.

He Yang Teacher.

Do you need anything?

Last time, you said you were interested in my spirit formation diagram.

Do you want to come and see it with me?

I don't want to go today. Can we change the date?

Mu Chen, only when you become stronger

will you be able to protect those who are most important to you.

Your friends are all trying their best to become stronger.

Are you satisfied with being left behind?

Of course I am not satisfied, but I can't see.

There are many things that I simply am not able to do.

There are so many extraordinary things in this world!

Eyes are not the only way to communicate with the world.

You mean that, although I can't see anything,

I can still cultivate like a normal person?

How will you know, if you don't try?

This room is magical!

Even though I can't see,

I can still feel a very strong spirit energy force moving.

Mu Chen, you truly know your stuff.

All these years, the students of this school just thought of me as strange.

There have even been some who have spread rumors that I experiment on live human subjects.

However, they were just mediocre people.

Teacher, have you always been researching spirit formations?

Let me show you something.

This is... Spirit Gathering Formation.

Don't tell me that there is a spirit post in this house.

This is my modified version of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

It does not need that stupid spirit post.

Teacher, your research on spirit formations is unheard of!

Too bad there is another type of formation that I have yet to crack.

- What kind of formation? - Grand Protection Spirit Formation.

I don't know how to set it up, and I don't have any idea of how to get a break through.

I heard that, within the Bei Cang Spirit School, there is a Grand Protection Spirit Formation.

Just that... only Shen Cangsheng can come and go as he pleases.

Other people can't.

Of course. That was a formation that Dean Ling Xi set up himself.

There are no loopholes.

It's a shame I can't see,

so I cannot help Teacher to take one more step forward in the art of spirit formation.

I assume you were blinded by a spell.

Let me take a look.

Teacher, please take a look.

Your eyes look fine,

but your vision is blocked.

The person who attacked you originally wanted to take your life.

But he only hurt your eyes.

But if you stay in this state any longer, not just your eyes,

but your entire system will be completely ruined.

It's a shame that there's no medicine to cure this.

Maybe there is...

You are?

Teacher, how are you? I am Bei Cang Spirit School's new student.

This is my acceptance letter.

- It must've been a tough journey. - No, it's fine!

Right, I haven't confirmed your name yet. Your name is...?

My name is Tang Chengbo.

Hello.

Miss, can you do magic?

That cover disappeared right now...

And that teacher... he looked powerful, too.

His name is Zhu Tian. He guards the Protection Circle.

The school is under curfew, no one is allowed to come and go.

I understand. Safety first.

I'll take you to the dorms now.

If you have any questions while you're at school, feel free to ask me any time.

Okay. Thank you!

This place is so cool and full of people!

It's not like this where I'm from.

Okay. Let's go.

Mu Chen.

Why are you here?

Luo Li. Did you just get off class?

How come you have so little power left?

I must've used too much of it in class.

I'll be fine once I rest a little.

What about you? Your eyes aren't healed yet. Why are you wandering outside by yourself?

I went to find He Yang Teacher.

Teacher He Yang? Rumor has it that he experimented on a student.

Bei Cang Spirit School has always been strict in their recruitment.

If it really was like rumors say, how could he be recruited as a teacher?

Everyone knows that rumors are rife. I only believe in my own deductions.

Last time during class, I observed him carefully.

He's very meticulous when he does things, and cares a lot about results.

He... doesn't play by the book.

Teacher He Yang... must just be looking out for his students.

All his energy and time have been spent on researching spirit formations.

In this area, he has truely made a contribution.

To me, you can say he is a good teacher.

He said that he can fix my eyes.

Are you sure?

Mu Chen, I know losing your vision has made you anxious,

but there are few people who know the Black Nether Blood Curse.

If you suddenly use it, you might hurt yourself.

You should be careful. Don't be used by him.

Luo Li, Teacher He Yang was just being nice. Don't worry about it too much.

Okay. I'll send you back.

Master, not even a bird can cross the border now.

The Protection Circle is almost unbreakable.

Since it's hard to get in from the outside,

you should go into the inner bureau to find the spirit core.

Teacher He Yang!

He Yang Teacher...

How does he have my Luo Shen Tribe's technique?

Mu Chen, why are you taking me here so early in the morning?

Yesterday, I asked Teacher He Yang for a formation.

His understanding of spirit formation is really not like anyone else's.

However, there is a formation that even he cannot crack.

- It is our Bei Cang Spirit School's Grand Protection Formation.- Huh?!

However, it doesn't seem like there is a formation here.

Use force and throw a formation.

There is nothing.

Again.

That is the Grand Protection Formation?

That is it.

Mu Chen, someone is here.

Who is it that who tries to destroy Bei Cang Spirit School Grand Protection Spirit Formation?

He is even dragging a dragon slave.

[Shen Cangsheng, Bei Cang Spirit School Number One Warrior]

- Are you Mu Chen? - You know me?

Blind, but still with such a great innate ability for spirit formations. Able even to draw a heart formation in the sky.

Someone with this kind of ability...

I can only think of Herds Land's Young Lord, Mu Chen.

Using a long spear, patrolling outside the grounds,

and also a highly skilled cultivator of the realm. You must be the presiding Number One of the Five Colleges.

The leader of the Dragon Board, Shen Cangsheng. I have long ago heard of your great name.

To use just the power of a single man to protect the entire Herds Capital,

to not care about anything else, you truely have courage and insight.

Actually, the person that did the work in the battle of Herds and Willow, is Liu Mubai.

If it wasn't for his prompt information, I'm afraid Herds Land would have already been annihilated.

I have long heard of Brother Liu's chivalrous deed.

Only a true hero will put his family ties behind, choosing to do what is right.

Brother Shen, forgive me for being blunt, but I would like to ask you for a favour.

- Please say. - Since Willow Land was destroyed,

Mubai has been cooped in a sea of pain, keeping himself at a distance from others.

Trying to get in a competition in everything he does, just to get himself a ranking on the Dragon Board.

He is pushing himself to the limit.

He is, after all, going through the pain of losing his family and home.

You have to give him some time to walk out of the pain.

Brother Shen, you are the number one within the schools, which is exactly what Mubai is trying to get to.

Can I kindly ask for Brother Shen to battle with him?

His melancholy is within himself.

If someone wants his own life to revolve around revenge,

it is very difficult for the people around him to pull him out of it.

We should at least try. Can I please ask Senior Brother to help?

Okay, I'll try my best.

Thank you, Senior Brother Shen!

Okay, I have to go back and address the dragon slave situation.

I'll be leaving first.

It's the afternoon, what are you doing instead of napping?

Teacher He Yang was right! The Protection Circle really is powerful.

Bei Cang Spirit School indeed has crouching tigers and hidden dragons. (T/N: the school has concealed talents)

It's rare to see you so excited.

But what can this show you?

A complete failure!

What an utter complete failure!

Shen Cangsheng is just one person, and you all dared to be completely wiped out!

And you haven't found a way to break into Bei Cang Spirit School yet, either!

Supreme Lord, I am willing to personally bring people and head towards the Bei Cang Spirit School.

Mo Xingtian, don't let me down!

I'll give you one last chance.

Go to the towns surrounding Bei Cang Spirit School,

and convert the people there into my Dragon Tribe puppets.

Use their lives as a bargaining chip to blackmail those so-called good people.

They wouldn't just stand by and watch the people suffer!

Black Dragon Lord has prepared for so long,

but has still not stepped at the front door of Bei Cang Spirit School.

Do you need me to help you?

No need for Madame Wen to bother.

That is right, the Human Tribe only has a limit lifespan.

Not as lucky as the Dragon Tribe, with their long lives.

Supreme Lord just needs to tough it out a bit. There will come a day to attack Bei Cang Spirit School.

Why are you still stalling? Go quickly!

Yes!

Be careful.

Your goddess is right in front of you.I'm going to save us some seats.

Luo Li, I was looking for you.

How is it? Did you rest well?

Mu Chen, don't look for He Yang alone anymore.

He Yang is studying the forbidden skill of the Luo Shen Tribe. He doesn't have good intentions.

- How do you know this? - I went to his room and discovered this with my own eyes.

Yesterday, after we left each other, you went to his room?

Luo Li, I think Teacher He Yang is just doing research.

There is no good or bad with Spirit Mantra and Spirit Formation. It just depends on the person using it.

The only reason that this skill of the Luo Shen Tribe is considered a forbidden skill,

is because there was once a tribe member that used this method.

He absorbed the spirit energy of everyone in the city in just one night.

That tribe member went then straight into the Sovereign Stage Realm,

and became half divine, half demon.

My Luo Shen Tribe had to sacrifice thousands of tribe members in order to kill that man.

Now, don't even mention passing it down within the tribe.

Even cultivating it yourself has become a taboo.

Enough. In order to break a spell, one must know how to cast it first.

I think this is the main reason why he conducts his research.

- But... - Luo Li, you're too biased against Teacher He Yang.

He teaches me skills and tries to find ways to cure my eyes.

He won’t harm me.

I don't disapprove of you going to his class. But he can't touch your eyes.

Luo Li!

I will fix them for you.

Jiu You. Jiu You!

Can you tell me what's wrong with Luo Li?

The martial art class is starting soon.

Didn't you make an appointment with Shen Cangsheng? Aren't you leaving?

Jiu You, do you know if she's ok? Is she hurt anywhere?

I'm not her.

Why are you asking me? Ask yourself.

What if she gets sad if I ask?

Women are hard to understand.

If I don't ask, I'll be worried. If I ask, I'm worried I'm asking the wrong question.

That's your own problem.

Stop complaining. Do something!

Ah, forget it! You don't understand anyway.

- Once you like someone... - I don't want to understand!

My head is going to break like an egg.

Whatever. I'll go out and ask Qian'er.

They live together. She probably knows what's going on.

Goddess, let me compete today.

No need.

You watch Mu Chen. Make sure he doesn't go looking for He Yang.

Okay. Be careful.

Okay, okay, powerful.

Thanks.

Mubai, did you know? It's said that a senior sister invented a snack

where you only need to put in spirit energy, and it can emit exotic flavors.

There's also another disciple brother, who developed

a kind of a candy that can change flavors depending on your mood.

I bought a couple of them. Here, do you want to try some?

Oh, you have martial arts next, right? I heard that...

Don't keep following me.

We aren't in the same classroom.

I heard the top Shen Cangsheng is joining our martial art class.

My schedule is too full. I can't assist this class.

You...

Then I'll come find you after class.

Tang Qian'er.

What?

Don't come find me.

Our marriage was originally organised by our families.

I no longer have a family.

The arrangement isn't valid anymore.

It's fine. I don't care about the marriage.

I can wait. As long as necessary.

Mu Chen, seems like Liu Mubai went in.

That's good.

Qingshan, do you know what's going on with Luo Li?

Why doesn't she share any courses with me?

I... I don't know.

I don't know her very well.
