Original subtitles

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.

Student Ye Sun'er is here to see the Dean.

Bei Cang Spirit School's Protection Spirit Formationhas been broken.

I beg you to come out and lead us.

[ Dean Ling Xi Dean of Bei Cang Spirit School ]

Are you a student of the Spirit School?

Why are you walking around late at night?

What's wrong with your eyes?

I'm on my way back to the dorm. I hurt my eyes, so I can't see temporarily.

That's why I walk a little slow.

What's your name?

Mu Chen.

It's you?

[The Great Ruler]

[Episode 17]

What are you trying to do?

Who are you?

Great. She will be satisfied.

Jiu... Jiu You! Jiu You!

Jiu You! Where are we?

I don't know. I don't sense anything.

Nothing?

How come you're still in the mood for sleeping? We've been caught.

Aren't you scared that Black Dragon's people did this?

If it was Black Dragon, we would be dead by now.

You sure are composed.

I can't even see now. If I don't stay composed, how can I live?

What is this weird place? I have never been here before.

It feels like a space created by a spirit formation.

But there's no spirit core around here.

Without a spirit core, how was the formation formed?

Perhaps... my deduction is wrong?

It shouldn't be. I must have missed something. Maybe it's on the wall.

Mu Chen, your personality is quite similar to hers.

You won't turn back until you hit the wall.

Who are you? Who is "she"? What is this place?

Haven't you already figured it out?

This is a space I created using a spirit formation.

Although you can't see me, I am everywhere.

Is this actually real?

Since Transfer Formation exists and you can transport from one space to another with it,

why can't there be a formation that can directly open up a new space?

The theory of the Transfer Formation is similar to the folding of two spaces.

If you want to make a whole new space, you must create space between the spaces!

Don't stand there without moving!

I didn't ask Ye Sun'er to build the Wind Spirit Formation so that you can work out.

The body is important during cultivation, but it is more important to pay attention to technique.

I'm asking you to enter the formation to train, not to send you to death.

Don't you know how to dodge it?

- Not bad.- Thank you for your guidance, Senior Shen.

I am still not as good as you.

With the way you are advancing, in no time, you will definitely be equally matched with me.

Thank you.

I just taught you some techniques. It's your talent that did the work.

Okay, I have to go.

The enchantment was broken. Although it's been fixed for now,

it's not as strong as it was before.

Now that the Dean is building the formation, it's going to take some time to complete.

The Dragon Palace won't miss out on this chance. I must leave early.

Senior, I'm willing to go with you.

- For real?- Absolutely.

Bei Cang Spirit School is the best shield you have.

You might die if you leave Bei Cang Spirit School.Are you sure?

Senior, rest assured. I made my decision a long time ago.

Good.

This is a weapon the Dean gave me.

With the token, you will be considered a protector of the formation.

You will be able to freely go in and out of the Bei Cang Spirit School.

At the time, she gave me two pieces.

I think she truly hoped I'd be able to find a suitable partner.

This token is very important. I will keep it safe.

I believe in you.

Thank you, Senior.

As bearers of spirit energy, we have the duty to stop the injustice in this world.

The whole evening, you failed more than 20 times.

I can't watch this anymore.

I'm so hungry!

When will you let me out?

Maybe your method is incorrect?

Space exists because it's stable.

In theory, attacking stability sounds right.

It's because you are too weak. Let me try.

The Spirit Fire won't work. You have tried so many times already.

There's definitely an area that needs to be improved.

I definitely can't make it to the third spirit formation with the level of my spirit energy right now.

Maybe it's my method that is wrong.

My method isn't wrong.

Was it a problem with the overlaying process?

The overlaying of three spirit formations not only depends on your spirit energy,

but also requires precise calculation.

Otherwise, the disconnection of the spirit formations

will not only cause spirit energy to drain away quickly,

but also affect the general stability. It could easily trigger an explosion.

If the spirit formations can be overlaid perfectly...

I understand!

I've finally returned. Thank you very much for your guidance.

- You... should be addressing me as 'Teacher'. - Teacher.

Come here. Let me see your eyes.

The problem seems to be with your spirit veins.

It's fine. At least there is hope.

I will definitely think of a way to fix your eyes.

Thank you, Teacher.

Mu Chen, that person locked you in for so long. Why did you thank her?

Jiu You, Teacher was helping me.

Thanks to her, I now know how to do large combined formations.

Whatever. You think everyone is good.

Okay, Jiu You. Can you take me to find Luo Li?

No.

In the past, when we spent time together like this,

you were only ten years old.

Indeed. We cultivated together since we were kids.

You said battling for real is the best way to improve.

So you invited me to practice every day.

You have indeed gotten a lot stronger.

But Xue Lingzi was still able to sneak behind my back, and attack.

Xue Lingzi is at the Sovereign Stage Realm. If he wants to perform a sneak attack,

even I would not be competition for him, let alone you.

Sovereign Stage Realm...

With the rate I am progressing at, I don't know when will I be able to catch up to Xue Lingxi.

How can I protect my tribe's people, if I can't beat Xue Lingzi?

I have to improve faster, or there won't be enough time.

I have told you before.

You are still injured. You should not be fighting these days.

- Then what should— - Don't worry.

I'm here.

Jiu You, I thought you were helping me find Luo Li.

Where is this place?

You should know that I can only sense things within close range to you.

Of course I'd head in the direction of familiar places.

Mu Chen!

Where did you go? I have been looking for you.

Why? What happened?

Luo Li almost got captured by someone.

Almost got captured? Where? By who?

Xue Lingzi from Xue Shen Tribe. He destroyed the Grand Protection Spirit Formation.

He was trying to take Luo Li away. Luckily, Senior Shen showed up in time.

How could the Grand Protection Spirit Formation be broken?

Xue Lingzi pretended to be a student, and sneaked into the Bei Cang Spirit School.

He went to Teacher Zhutian's room, and destroyed the spirit core.

But why does your voice seem so unfamiliar?

- I'm a new student. - What are you thinking about?

I think I have met that student.

- Where is Luo Li?- At the arena. Let me take you there.

Go.

Let me go.

I will get you the spirit leaves, no matter how many you want.

Be careful.

Luo Li.

Mu Chen!

Luo Li, are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry. This is all because of me.

I am willing to do so. Please don't feel burdened by this.

My eyes will be healed soon.

You don't have to challenge others anymore.

Are you going to He Yao again?

He Yao promised me that he will heal my eyes, so I want to try it.

- No! - Luo Li.

- What about you? - Me?

You should recuperate first. Promise me you won't fight anymore. Okay?

If I promise you, will you stop going to find He Yao?

I won't stop you from finding Teacher He Yao to get treatment.

But if he doesn't succeed, you can't stop me anymore.

Okay.

I'll go with you to find him.

Mu Chen, are you okay?

Mu Chen!

I'm fine. Don't worry.

I have figured out a method.

Are there any dangers to your method?

I wouldn't joke around with my students' lives.

If you don't believe me, you can stop him from coming to me.

Teacher, please don't mind it. Luo Li is just worried about me.

Never mind.

You should go back. I'll notify you once I'm ready.

The Bei Cang Spirit Formation is now harder to break into than before.

Chief, let's go find Wen Qingxuan.

It's not a good thing to owe Wen Qingxuan a favor.

Moreover, if the Evil Lord knew that I came here without telling him,

- I'm afraid... - Chief, please listen to me.

Bei Cang Spirirt School is being heavily guarded now.

Getting the Goddess out of there will be even harder than getting to Heaven.

Plus, if Wen Qingxuan finds out about this, she will never let us go.

But I have a plan. How about we seek out Wen Qingxuan beforehand,

and offer to cooperate with her?

After all, the Evil Lord will invade Bei Cang Spirit School sooner or later.

When that time comes, we will just play along and help him succeed.

Let's go.

Did the Bei Cang Spirit School's Grand Protection Spirit Formation disappear for a moment?

Yes. However, when I got there, the spirit formation was already restored.

It was my failure.

If that's the case, what did you come back for?!

I am here to be at your command.

What brilliant idea do you have?

I don't have any brilliant idea,

but the Dragon Tribe and Bei Cang Spirit School have been at odds for many years.

You missed now the crucial opportunity, but you still want to attempt a force attack?

I fear you will return empty handed.

I am just doing all I can to help the Evil Lord.

You want to use to the strength of my foster father to get rid of your arch enemy.

It's not something shameful.

Why hide it? However, if you cannot get the job done,

you'd better take some time to think how you will ask Godfather for forgiveness.

The Evil Lord has only commanded you to cooperate with me.

Wen Qingxuan, you have no right to point fingers at me.

Really?

What do you really want?

Supreme, I came all the way here just to help you.

The two of us are on the same boat. I definitely won't do you any harm.

If this is successful, you will get the greatest recognition.

But if this fails, you'll hold the greatest responsibility.

I advise you to carefully consider how you will handle this.

After all, I am just a person that does not have the right to point fingers and criticize.

Don't you agree, Supreme?

Evil Lord, I have something important to report.

Say it.

The Human Tribe and the Divine Tribe have already started to form an alliance.

How do you know?

I have been looking for my fiancée.

So I disguised myself as a Human Tribe member, and snuck into the Bei Cang Spirit School.

I originally wanted to just take my fiancee back to the Xue Shen Tribe,

but the Human Tribe teachers and students interfered.

I had no choice, but to expose myself and leave.

Xue Lingzi, I had originally asked you to finish the task that I had arranged within the tribe.

However, you decided to act on your own, and almost wrecked my plans.

Evil Lord, please don't be angry. Although I did this to get my fiancee back,

I managed to destroy the Bei Cang Spirit School's Protection Spirit Formation.

It is just a measly Protection Spirit Formation. Do you think I would be bothered by that?

It was my mistake to say such a thing. Please punish me!

Forget it. Although it doesn't matter to me,

it does require some skill for others to break the formation.

You do deserve some credit this time, so I will put this behind us.

Thank you for your forgiveness, My Lord.

I will definitely help Wen Qingxuan

and attack Bei Cang Spirit School together.

Master.

What is it?

Mu Chen has a contract beast within his body. Most likely, they are bound by a life and death contract.

That contract beast is the Jiu You Sparrow.

Jiu You Sparrow? The descendant of the Ancient Divine Phoenix?

If I can develop it into a Phoenix Elixir as a gift to Godfather,

getting the Nirvana Power of the Phoenix will allow Godfather to recover even quicker.

Congratulations, Master Wen. I hope you will achieve your goals soon.

You did very well.

However, a life and death contract is bound by the connection of spirit veins.

If the obtained Jiu You spirit energy

is not complete and pure, nobody will be able to develop the Phoenix Elixir.

Also, once the contract is broken, both Mu Chen and the Jiu You Sparrow will die.

So there is only one chance to get the Jiu You Sparrow's spirit energy.

That's a problem.

Catch.

This spirit mantra is called the Crossing Souls Mantra.

It can even strip the spirit veins off a person's body.

Just a mere contract beast is nothing.

Thank you, Master Wen.

Teacher, Mu Chen is here.

Come in.

Teacher He Yang.

He is my student, Huo Feng.

Before you came along, he was the only student willing to communicate with me.

Junior Brother, Junior Sister, how are you?

Sorry to trouble you, Senior.

The healing procedure today is very important.

During the process, you must not be distracted in any way.

Please go out.

Yes.

The last treatment will be the most painful.

You must withstand the pain.

Mu Chen!

Junior Luo Li, just wait a little bit more.

Teacher is currently treating Mu Chen.

Move over!

This method...

Mu Chen!

Didn't I tell you not to come in during the process?

If there is an interruption in the process and your spirit veins are hurt, you will bear the consequences!

Mu Chen, how are you?

What did he do to you?

Mu Chen. Mu Chen, what's wrong?

Mu Chen...

Luo Li. I can see you!

You can see?

Thank you so much, Teacher He Yao.

The poison in his body is clearly not out yet!

The poison in his body has long entered his bones.

Right now, the remains of the poison have been suppressed, and his vision has been restored.

Getting rid of the poison completely is not something that can happen overnight.

Mu Chen, let's go.

Luo Li, you should apologize to Teacher He Yao.

Forget it. I don't need it.

Remember to come back everyday for a check up.

Yes!

Mu Chen won't be coming anymore.

The Spirit Mantra you just used was mysterious, with an overbearing energy.

The spirit energy that appeared was blue, which is abnormal.

It is definitely not an ordinary method.

Well, it's a secret skill. Of course it's different.

Luo Li, I can see you and Teacher He Yao now.

That means his treatment is effective. Can you stop being so skeptical?

Mu Chen, his treatment method is too mysterious.

Enough.

Teacher He Yao has given me treatments many times now.

If he was trying to harm me, I wouldn't be standing in front of you now.

I witnessed all of this firsthand.

- Why won't you believe me? - Haven't you also lied to me before?

But I've never harmed you!

Teacher He Yao is just helping me.

Stop with the nonsense!

Luo Li, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

It's fine. I understand.

Teacher He Yao, I'm sorry.

Mu Chen.

The poison inside of you still remains. Although your vision is recovered,

to avoid affecting your spirit veins,

you should come back everyday.

Let's go.

Luo Li, I...

It's almost time for class.

- Just then, I... - Don't worry.

I promised you I won't fight anymore. I will keep my word.

Go to class. Qingshan and the others must be waiting impatiently now.

Luo Li, thank you.

You don't need to thank me.

Xuantong?

Goddess.

Based on how he's walking, it seems his vision has been restored.

Has the Black Nether Blood Curse been broken?

No, it hasn't.

In fact, there is something wrong.

- Let's go. - Where?

To Thunder Land.

I wasn't able to hold Luo Li back.

Your skills were never as good as Luo Li's anyway.

Teacher, there is something I don't understand.

How did you restore Mu Chen's vision?

She forcefully interrupted the Crossing Souls Mantra. I was in danger, too.

I restrained the Black Nether Blood Curse temporarily with the Crossing Souls Mantra, and restored Mu Chen's vision.

It can keep Luo Li away for a while.

Teacher, you are so smart.

Let's let him live for one more day.

How many more spirit leaves do I need to get into the Thunder Land?

In addition to these two jade tokens, the total is 4370 spirit leaves.

You are still 13,630 spirit leaves short to exchange for a Thunder Land pass.

Goddess, why don't we come back again in a few months?

By then, we should be able to enter.

The pill of the Blood Monster, no.13 on the Earth Ranking List.

It's worth 300 spirit leaves. You're quite lucky.

But it's still nothing compared to Senior Shen.

Back then, Senior Shen risked his life to get the pill no. 13 on the Heavens Ranking List, the Eclipse Wolf.

With that, he got 5000 spirit leaves in exchange. That's what you really call spectacular.

Thank you.

- How much is this worth? - Goddess!

Goddess. The Luo Shen Sword is the symbol of the goddess, and it once belonged to the Luo Shen God.

How could you just pawn it like that?

Are you stopping me?

I want to redeem for a Thunder Land Pass.

This sword is 1 meter long. It glistens with a hint of blue, like ice.

Looking at the sword, you can faintly see a blue icicle.

The tip of the sword is sharp and slick. This is a precious relic of the Luo Shen Tribe.

It is worth 16,000 spirit leaves.

Are you sure you want to trade it?

I want the Thunder Land Pass.

Thunder Land is dangerous. Are you sure you want to go in?

You can go into the Thunder Land with this jade token.

[ Thunder Land ]

Let's go.

Xuantong, thank you for coming with me.

Protecting you is my life's mission.

Let's go.

Be careful!

Hurry and go.

What are you doing?

Mu Chen! Can you see now?

How did you fix your eyes? Was it Luo Li who helped you heal them?

Where is Luo Li? I didn't see her. Why isn't she with you?

Don't mention Luo Li!

Teacher Ye! Teacher Ye!

- Mu Chen fainted. - Fainted? What happened?

His vision has been restored, but his temper has become very weird.

He even grabbed my collar.

Mu Chen's temper isn't like that. What exactly happened?

I also don't know.

He suddenly fainted, and he won't wake up.

Tan Qingshan, go find Dean Ling Xi.

- I will go check on Mu Chen. - Yes.

The rest of you, stay here and practice.

Yes!

Jiu You! What are you doing?

Who gave you the guts?

- Dean!- Come in.

Dean, something happened to Mu Chen!

What?
