Original subtitles

Mu Chen, it seems like Liu Mubai went in.

That's good.

Qingshan, do you know what's happening with Luo Li these days?

Why doesn't she share any course with me?

I... don't know. I'm not very close with her.

Don't worry about her.

If you really feel it's not okay, I'll take you to her.

No need.

- Let's go! - I'm not going in.

I can't see anything. Plus, if Liu Mubai sees me, what if he leaves?

Qingshan, you go in first.

This way, you can help me see how the situation is inside.

Greetings, Teacher Ye. Greetings, Senior.

Seems like you guys don't want to see me.

Teacher Ye, we see you everyday, but Senior Shen is different.

Cang Sheng has been hunting outside the school and he is guarding the school, so he seldom comes back.

But I think everyone is no stranger to his name.

I won't waste time introducing him.

We will leave the time to your Senior Shen.

The Great Ruler

Episode 16

- It's the God of War Heavenly Lotus Spear! - God of War Spear.

Do you all know what is the most important thing for improving your martial art skills?

What?

You will know very soon. The lesson today is very easy.

- Beat me. - Beat him? How is that possible?

Four people per group. If you cannot handle more than 10 moves,

there's no need for you to come back tomorrow.

Let's start.

Xu Xiao, let's be in the same group. How about it?

We're still missing two people. How about this? We'll each go and find one more person.

Mubai, do you want to be in a group with us?

Mubai, Senior Shen is number one in Bei Cang Spirit School.

Based on skill, none of us will beat him.

But with you, we have confidence to be able to put up a battle.

Confused and chaotic, with no will to fight. Next group!

Mubai!

I'll be in a team with you guys.

You're more than welcome to join.

Mu Chen!

Qingshan, how is it?

Let me tell you, it was so exciting!

The four of us managed to take on more than 20 moves from Senior Shen.

- My Lofty Mountain Fist— - Stop!

Hold up. I don't want to know.

I just want to know how Liu Mubai is.

Liu Mubai wanted to fight Senior Shen one-on-one.

However, Senior Shen blocked him off with just one move.

He was too eager and used his Seal Evil Fan straight away,

which caused Senior Shen to also pull out his God of War's Heavenly Lotus spear.

But at that time, those two suddenly stopped,

and didn't continue fighting.

Did not continue fighting? What happened?

I don't understand either. They were just standing there, not moving at all.

Li Xuantong even said something like, between experts, even if they are not moving, they are still fighting.

The two of them look like they are not moving, but the battle has started long ago.

This Shen Cangshen is truly magnificent.

Although it looks like the door is open, the reality is that it is actually impregnable.

Even if Liu Mubai was holding a weapon, he would still not be able to even get the slightest advantage.

Look carefully at their hands and foreheads.

He has already lost.

Who?

Liu Mubai.

Oh, right. At the end, Senior Shen also told Liu Mubai

that if this was a real fight, he would have already died.

He even said...

You have a natural talent, but you haven't grasped the skills yet.

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

You excel in spirit mantras, and I excel in close combat.

Yet you tried in vain to win me, using close combat strategy.

Liu Mubai, you don't focus enough when battling others.

If you continue like this, you will not get very far.

It was what I expected. Liu Mubai still cannot escape his inner demons.

Mu Chen, Senior Shen has come out.

Okay. You go back. I'm going to talk to him.

Senior Shen, what do you think of Mubai's skills?

It requires some polishing.

However, he indeed cannot get rid of his inner demons. Even his moves have been affected.

They are not stable enough. He's a little bit too rushed.

What you say makes sense. That's what I am also worried about.

Liu Mubai was considered the big hero in the battle between Herds Land and Willow Land.

But the price of this was probably too great for him to bear.

If left unmanaged, he will probably walk down the wrong path.

All right. I will try my best to help him.

Thank you, Senior Shen.

Senior Shen,

Mubai...

He should have been a hero, but instead, he forced himself into despair.

The pain of losing your family in the flicker of an eye...

How much could bystanders really understand?

I didn't have a family since I was young.

They probably died for their country, or were sacrificed for the citizens.

But if you were to count, I probably have many more enemies than you do.

I never needed pity or sympathy, nor did I expect charity from others.

I just want to help the people that battle by my side.

The greatest fear in interpersonal relationships, is having no trust.

If he purposely keeps himself at bay, no one will be able to get close to him.

I do have an idea. Maybe it will work.

- Tell me about it. - If this works, you must agree to Mubai's condition.

So you know what conditions he will come up with?

He just wants to go out and kill the dragon slaves with you.

You've said it all.

Senior Shen, are you willing to do it?

If it can help him, I can try.

Actually, my plan still requires another person to help.

If it's possible, then go ahead.

They are long gone.

Mubai, I've brought some food. There's some of your favourite dishes.

Who is there?

You guys... Why did you lure me here?

Don't blame her. It was my idea.

- Dragon slave? - This is the only one I managed to catch alive, while patrolling outside.

Say it! Say what you know one more time.

Yes. It was the Supreme Black Dragon that lied to Liu Qingtian and made him betray the Herds Land.

Also, Faceless Daoist forced Liu Qingtian to give in, and take in the Murmuring Power.

Otherwise... Otherwise, they would kill his son.

Mubai, did you hear that?

How do I know if you forced him to say that or not?

Why would you think that?

We just don't want you to force yourself like this anymore.

It's not your fault. Stop punishing yourself and the people around you.

If you want revenge, they should be the ones to be your enemies.

Black Dragon has always had evil intentions towards the People Tribe, wanting us to be his slaves.

Now that he's colluding with the Heavenly Evil Lord, they've put their main target on our Five Colleges.

These dragon slaves are wandering around the schools, to look for the Breaking Formation Technique.

If you really want to restore Willow Land and get revenge for your family members who died,

then you should put in your all to stop them.

Mubai, you are the Young Lord of Willow Land. In the future, you will be the Lord of Willow Land.

The most important thing for you to do, is to preserve Willow Land's safety and benefits.

Liu Mubai, we have been brothers since we were young.

We've been through so many life and death situations.

How can I not care about matters related to you?

Look at yourself.

I almost can't recognize you.

I never needed pity or sympathy, nor did I expect charity from others.

I just want to help the people that battle by my side.

Let him go.

Senior Shen, please provide me your guidance from now on,

and allow me to protect Bei Cang Spirit School with you.

Although my skills are not up to par with you, I can still lend a meagre helping hand.

Good! I have always been a lone wolf,

but with you by my side, I will be like a tiger that has grown wings.

I'm sorry for before. I've made you worry.

Yeah. Not only did you make me worry,

you even made me spend so many spirit leaves just to buy you food.

You have to return the favor.

Mu Chen, thank you.

It was as you had said. He conquered his inner demons.

Why are you thanking me? It's what I should do.

Although I kept saying I would wait for him and I won't give up,

I really didn't know how long I could hold on for.

This isn't the Tang Qian'er I know.

The Tang Qian'er I know is a heroine.

She would never regret anything she has decided on.

Even without me, you would be able to make him change his mind.

With me, it was just done a little faster.

You are right.

I am Tang Qian'er.

I won't give up.

Li Xuantong, you have followed me all day already. Come out.

Did she ask you to come?

Go back and tell her that I will think about what she said.

But instead of following me everyday, you should follow her and protect her.

Li Xuantong! Is Luo Li okay?

Goddess has been doing well.

What is she keeping from me?

Whatever. I'll clarify things tomorrow.

Let's go. I'll send you back.

So powerful!

Thank you for going easy on me.

- Goddess. - Xuantong.

Goddess!

I'm fine. Why are you here?

I followed Mu Chen the whole day.

He was with Shen Cangsheng, Liu Mubai and the others all day. He didn't go look for He Yao.

He wants me to tell you that he will think about what you said.

Got it.

Tomorrow.

After tomorrow, you will be mine.

The formidable Bei Cang Spirit School...

actually has such bad defence against the spirit core of spirit formations.

But it's good anyway.

This makes it easier for me.

With this time setting device,

the core of the spirit formation will explode when the time is up.

I can take her away once the enchantment breaks.

Be careful!

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I can't see, nor do I have enough spirit energy.

Of course I couldn't sense it.

Where are we?

How am I supposed to know?

You are already lucky that I can tell if anyone is in front of you.

Be careful! There's a pillar.

I thought you can sense the presence of people.

Can you lead me to a place with a lot of people?

Don't you want to get away from Tan Qingshan and the others, to find Luo Li?

Aren't you afraid of being recognized in a place with a lot of people?

Fellow classmate, be careful. There is a wall here.

- Don't crash into it. - Why are you here?

Thank you.

Teacher, I—

It's you again, Tang Chenbo.

Teacher.

Teacher Zhutian?

I'm sorry, Teacher. I've lost my vision.

I couldn't see, so I ended up here.

Just then, I almost walked into a wall. It was this classmate who stopped me.

It's fine.

Teacher, I just came to this school. I also don't know

how I ended up walking here.

I'm sorry, Teacher.

You guys go.

Thank you, Teacher!

Thank you, Teacher.

Be careful. I'll help you.

Be careful. This way.

This way. Head towards this way.

Be careful.

You've followed me for so long. Why don't you show yourself?

Long time no see!

I don't think you are here to reminisce memories with me.

Of course not. We've fought each other for so many years.

You are also considered one of the rare talents in the Northern Spirit Realm.

I, Mo Xingtian, have a lot of respect for you.

What are you trying to say?

The Supreme Black Dragon really admires you.

We hope you would abandon the dark and seek the light, and come help my Dragon Tribe.

The Supreme Black Dragon thinks highly of me?

If I were to seek refuge, are there any benefits?

Of course.

If you seek refuge with the Supreme Black Dragon, then you don't have to be trapped in this school.

With your abilities, you would definitely be a powerful chief.

Okay.

I'm honoured that the Supreme Black Dragon thinks so highly of me.

But I have a request.

What request? Feel free to tell me.

I want both of your heads on a platter.

I urge you to think carefully about this.

It is only a matter of time before Bei Cang Spirit School is destroyed.

Why do you insist on being buried with it?

My Bei Cang Spirirt School will never be destroyed.

Let the Black Dragon come.

Okay, okay.

Don't come begging me when that day comes.

Where are you going? I'll take you there.

Okay. Thank you.

But why does your voice seem so unfamiliar?

I'm a new student. I arrived late because I got lost along the way.

I just got here yesterday.

I see.

I'm a new student too. I'm Mu Chen.

What's your name?

My name is Tang Chengbo.

You still haven't said where you want to go.

I am looking for someone, but I don't know where she is.

How about this? Send me back to my dorm first.

Okay. I have to go back to the dorms too.

Who are you looking for?

I'm looking for a girl.

Is it someone you like?

But I just don't know if she thinks the same way too.

Tell me about it. What kind of girl is she?

Pretty. The first time I saw her, I thought she was quite cold.

However, after spending some time with her, I realized that she is actually very soft hearted.

She is the same too.

Who? The girl you like?

When I saw her for the first time, I decided I wouldn't marry anyone else but her.

But she always holds me at an arm's length.

But for some reason, that's exactly what I like.

We couldn't be liking the same girl, right?

How is that possible? I don't even know you.

Are all girls the same?

Feelings come from the heart.

If you like her, she's the best in your eyes.

So what happened? Have you managed to make her your girlfriend?

I'm going to be marrying her soon.

Really? Congratulations!

If there is a chance, don't forget to invite me to your wedding.

It's a promise.

Let's go. Be careful.

The Dragon Arena is just right up front.

Once we get to the arena, I know the way.

- Classmate, thanks for sending me here today. - It's all good.

Let's part ways now. We'll meet again.

The two of us have fate.

We will definitely run in to each other again in the future.

Good. Until we meet again!

Until we meet again!

Luo Li is still competing in the arena. She is really asking for death.

She is overusing her spirit energy with the way she is fighting. What is it for?

No matter what it is for, she is still winning every single battle she takes on.

Classmate, you said that Luo Li is in the Dragon Arena?

Yeah. She's been fighting for a couple of days already.

She really doesn't want her life anymore.

The person you are looking for is Luo Li?

Yes.

I just remembered. I have something I need to do.

I also have to go to the Dragon Arena. Looks like our fate has not ended yet.

Since you can't see anyway, let me take you there.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for giving in.

Who else?

- Luo Li. - Mu Chen. You...

Why are you here competing?

You said you would help me cure my eyes. Besides the Jade Knot, there is no other way.

Are you trying to earn spirit leaves in exchange for the Jade Knot?

Jade Knot? I've seen in some research before.

However, hasn't this type of spirit leaves disappeared for a long time now?

We're all doomed now.

I heard that some still exists in the Thunder Land of Bei Cang Spirit School.

No wonder she is fighting so hard.

But the Thunder Land requires very powerful spirit leaves.

Even Senior Shen could not reach that level.

Luo Li, are you going to Thunder Land for me?

The arena is for fighting purposes.

By coming on stage, are you challenging me?

Luo Li!

If you're doing this to heal my eyes, I won't let you hurt yourself like this.

Either fight me, or leave.

I will think of a way to heal my eyes by myself.

Mu Chen!

You knew a long time ago, didn't you?

I... Mu Chen, I really had no other choice.

Mu Chen!

Luo Li, did you change your mind?

No.

I wanted to tell you that, within a year, I will get the Jade Knot for sure.

But in the meantime, please don't rashly try any other methods.

Luo Li, these are my eyes. I will not let you risk your life for it.

If you insist on doing this, I'd rather stay blind for the rest of my life.

Nonsense! I'm doing this at my own will.

- I'm willing— - Listen to me.

These are my eyes. I don't need your help.

Qingshan, let's go.

Mu Chen!

Luo Li, long time no see.

You are Xue Lingzi!

Luo Li, what's your relationship with Mu Chen?

- It's none of your business. - Okay.

From now on, other than me,

no one can have anything to do with you.

I've been thinking of you for so many years. Now I can finally be with you.

It's no use.

I have already taken control of your spirit energy.

Mu Chen, where are we going?

- Take me to find He Yao. - He Yao? Didn't Luo Li say not to find him?

- She doesn't need to know everything! - Are you being like this, too?

Forget it! This is already hard on me. These relationships are already so complicated!

Are you really my friend? Are you helping her, instead of me?

- Let's go! - Fine, I will go.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Mu Chen, are you looking for me?

Teacher He Yao, can my eyes be healed?

If you don't believe me,

then why bother coming to find me?

- Qingshan. - I'm here.

Go and see what happened outside.

Go. I'm here.

- Luo Li. - Qingshan, why are you guys here?

I heard a sound, so I came over.

I was standing guard near the enchantment,

and saw that the formation was broken. I thought that it was the Dragon Tribe that broke in.

I didn't think I would see you guys.

It was him who broke the Protection Spirit Formation.

Who are you? How dare you break into my Bei Cang Spirit School?

None of your business.

Luo Li. I will come back to marry you.

Thank you, Senior Shen.

- Thank you, Qingshan. - No problem.

With the enchantment broken, Dragon Palace will definitely take the opportunity to invade.

Please don't let your guard down.

In a bit, I will inject my spirit energy into your spirit veins,

and check what exactly is going on with your body.

But since it is not your own spirit energy, your body might reject it.

If you don't believe me, then let's just forget it.

I believe you. Thank you, Teacher, for making this effort.

How does it feel?

- I'm okay... - I've already suppressed a portion of the inhibitors in your spirit veins.

However, we cannot completely resolve this by just using spirit energy.

Thank you, Teacher.

The inhibitors within your body are really not simple.

They have been in your body for so long. They are rooted in way too deep.

However, if you don't remove the poison now, it will cause more problems in the future.

Teacher, you must help me.

Spirit veins are a person's foundation.

If they are damaged, it is very hard to recover.

This is where the problem lies.

However, I will gather the necessary materials in the next few days,

to dig out the inhibitors from your spirit veins little by little.

But...

It will be difficult for a normal person to withstand the process.

I'm determined. No matter how hard it is, I must try.

You can go rest for today. Come see me again in two days.

Thank you, Teacher.

Goddess.

It was my negligence of duty that I wasn't by your side the whole time.

Xuantong, it's not your fault.

Who would have thought that Xue Lingzi would have dared to break into Bei Cang Spirit School?

How is your health?

I was trying to heal myself. I still feel clogged when I convey my spirit energy.

- Then let me help heal you. - No need to.

I haven't lost any of my spirit energy.

I will recover in no time.

Goddess, it's not safe here anymore. We have to go back.

No. I have a task that I need to finish.

Tribe Leader was planning on using the Bei Cang Spirit School's Grand Protection Formation

and all the students in the school, to ensure your safety.

But Xue Lingzi still managed to sneak in in disguise, and almost kidnapped you.

This means that the land of the Human Tribe is no longer safe.

I will not leave until I have achieved my goals.

- Goddess. - No need to say more!

Forget it. You have already worn yourself thin competing with people all this time.

In addition to what happened today, I'm scared that your body cannot handle it anymore.

Take a rest for a few days. Stop competing with people.

I will find a way to get the rest of the spirit leaves.

Qian'er.

How are your injuries?

I'm fine now.

My cultivation has improved a lot.

That's good!

Previously, my skills were not improving.

In fact, I was actually getting worse.

Probably because I was so anxious and agitated recently.

I'm here by your side now.

Don't think so much anymore.

Now you can cultivate with Senior Shen.

You must take this chance, and humbly learn from him.

Of course I will.

Why don't you ask Senior Shen to fight against you again?

Senior Shen's skills are way better than mine. I cannot beat him.

I know you can't beat him.

I want you to take this chance and practice with the best.

You will improve faster learning from real experience.

I'll listen to you.

Teacher Zhutian, how is everything?

We are repairing it.

I don't know when it can be fixed.

What happened?

Luo Li isn't willing to come.

Why not?

It seems she feels guilty about the spirit core getting destroyed.

This child.

Luo Li, it doesn't have anything to do with you.

Why are you feeling guilty?

That person was here for me.

Wasn't he the foolish scholar who doesn't even know basic manners, Tang Chengbo?

He is not Tang Chengbo. I have looked into it.

Tang Chengbo's skills wouldn't have been able to restrain Luo Li.

Then, he is...?

He is Xie Lingzi.

He is the chief of the Xue Shen Tribe.

He sneaked in to take me back

for marriage.

Sorry. I caused trouble to the entire school.

You can't be blamed for this.

It was me who didn't protect the spirit core well.

All right, our priority now is to repair the spirit core and protect the students.

Yes.

- How much longer will it take to fix it? - It was badly damaged this time.

I am afraid we need to ask Dean Ling Xi for help.

Okay. I’ll go and ask Dean Ling Xi to come out of seclusion.
