(Episode 16)

Huang Li,

I was right, wasn't I?

There are always people who overreach themselves.

Aren't you also a medium-rank spiritual practitioner?

Aren't you here, too?

I was talking about her.

She's overreaching herself.

Do you think everyone can get into Junwu Academy?

Mu Yao.

Senior Sister.

Senior Sister.

Zhao Ge, are you ready for it?

I guess so.

Does that mean you can't get in?

Mu Yao,

you're getting ruder now.

Wu, let's go.

You should be thankful

that Junwu Academy admits people like you.

Otherwise, how could you have been here?

You...

Mu Yao,

don't argue with her.

I won't care to do that.

She was one of the Two Phoenixes of the Capital

but now she's like that.

She's not

on the same level as Senior Sister anymore.

She won't resign herself to it

but she can only be stubborn.

Is that Feng Wu?

Hasn't she lost her cultivation base?

How could she apply to the academy?

So, what Jun Linyuan said makes sense.

What?

Do you want a bet?

Why not? I'm not afraid.

If I can

get admitted to Junwu Academy,

when you see me,

you have to call me dad.

Dad?

What is it?

Just an honorific title in the Border City.

That's it?

On the contrary,

if I fail to get admitted,

I won't come to the capital ever again.

Wu, are you sure?

You haven't changed a bit.

You're always so determined.

I'll look forward to your performance.

I hope I won't let you down, then.

I will get admitted.

Zhao Ge, let's go.

That girl doesn't know her real capacity

after she succeeded in Peerless Tower.

We'll see what she's able to do

right away.

I will do my best.

Start answering the questions.

Burn the incense.

Junwu Academy

is the first choice for all kinds of cultivators

as a cultivation school second to none in the capital.

The entrance exam is held every three years

and the requirements are extremely strict.

Disciples from junior-rank spiritual practitioners

to senior-rank ones

all need to take the exam,

including those who are from prestigious families

like Feng Xun and Xuan Yi.

Only disciples that have been Great Spiritual Masters

can get in without taking the exam.

Among the new disciples,

only Jun Linyuan, Yu Mingye

and Zuo Qingluan are exempt from the exam.

Time's up.

Exit the examination room.

What's up?

You didn't do well in the exam

and you're gonna lose your bet?

Mind your own business.

Wu,

you guessed all of the questions right.

You're amazing.

Of course.

Come on. Let's get ready for the second round of written exam.

-Okay. Let's go. -Let's go.

I should go home.

It's nice.

Zhao Ge,

thanks for asking Qiu Ling to prepare another portion.

After eating this,

I won't be afraid whoever I fight this afternoon.

Zhao Ge?

Eat more if you like it.

By the way, Xuan Yi,

I saw you dozing during the whole exam.

Didn't you answer any questions?

I woke up when half of the incense was burned

and I've finished the paper.

I have told you.

He can handle it.

You were just fussing.

Mr. Xuan Yi,

have a seat and eat some meat.

No, thanks.

You go on eating.

By the way,

where's Feng Wu?

His Highness Jun came to invigilate the exam.

During the break,

he asked Feng Wu out to train her.

Boss Jun really favors Feng Wu.

He even taught her in private.

Why did Goddess Zuo come here?

She's exempt from the exam, isn't she?

She should be here to see her Junior Sisters from Celestial Palace.

I'm Master Zhao who will invigilate this exam.

Everyone,

good afternoon.

This morning

you were tested on your spiritual knowledge.

Now it'll be your spirit energy and cultivation base.

Great.

I can finally do what I'm good at.

Does that mean

someone didn't do well in the written exam?

You...

Everyone, draw for your opponent

and you'll compete with each other.

The examiners will judge

according to how you compete.

Before you go on the ring, tie a bell to your waists.

When you're competing,

the one whose bell drops first

or is taken by the other

will lose.

This is an entrance exam.

Learn from but not injure each other.

Don't make things ugly.

These name tags have been charmed.

You'll be distributed an opponent randomly.

Feel free to draw one.

(Feng Wu)

(Mu Yao)

(Huang Li)

The exam will start now.

Group One,

male disciples,

Ling Yun versus Yu Mingye.

What are you doing here?

As a Great Spiritual Master who's exempt from the exam,

Certainly, I'd like to see how good the others are.

Briefly, how could I not come

when I can fight someone?

I admit defeat.

Stop.

Yu Mingye has won this competition.

We were told not to injure each other.

How could he hit him so hard?

People from Darknight Court are always like that.

What?

You dare not go on there without enough cultivation base?

It's just a competition between cultivators.

If you don't always go all out,

how can you eliminate demons and uphold justice?

Zhao Ge,

don't argue with those who are nothing like us.

(Roster)

Next group,

Zhao Ge versus Huang Li.

It's my turn.

What a coincidence!

We're all from Celestial Palace.

Beg for mercy

and your Senior Sisters won't hurt you.

No, no.

You haven't been taught by our leader.

We're not your Senior Sisters yet.

Zhao Ge, don't believe her.

You can do it.

Where's your sword?

I...

I don't need a sword.

Are you kidding me?

You're from Celestial Palace.

How could you use that?

I've been used to it.

In that case,

I won't be kind to you.

Mr. Xuan Yi,

in order to get admitted with you,

I must win this time.

What's that?

Candied fruit?

Yeah.

How could she shoot so accurately?

Zhao Ge,

impressive.

Don't make fun of me, Wu.

I can't even use a sword well.

There's no way I'll win the competition.

Who told you so?

Didn't you shoot accurately just now?

What's the use?

It's just something I got

when eating things.

It's not for sure.

I trust you.

What's this?

I almost choked to death.

A pollen bomb I made.

Aren't I good?

Zhao Ge,

how dare you make a fool of me?

I'll make you suffer.

Stop.

Zhao Ge has won this competition.

I won. I won.

Wu, I won.

I said you could do it.

Interesting.

Aunt,

what is it you want to see me about?

The entrance exam to Junwu Academy is being held today.

Go and see if there is anyone

who's particularly good

and report to me.

Yes.

I want to build a cultivation academy

on Qianyuan Continent

so that the spirit to eliminate demons and uphold justice will be passed down.

Zi Yan, what do you think?

It has been so many years.

Hey,

it's such a boring competition.

When are you gonna stop watching?

I didn't fight enough just now.

Come and fight with me.

Go back to your place.

How could you be so cold?

We're going to be classmates.

(Roster) Next group.

Xuan Yi versus Xi Jiang.

Xuan Yi won.

Mr. Xuan Yi is awesome, isn't he?

So I didn't come to Junwu Academy for nothing.

Xuan Yi is not to be sniffed at either.

I gotta be wary of you.

She's good.

Next group,

Feng Wu versus Mu Yao.

Feng Wu,

it's not too late for you to admit defeat now.

When we're on the ring,

it's okay if you lose face.

If you're injured,

it'll be awful.

We haven't competed yet.

It's not sure who will win.

Besides, I haven't heard you calling me dad.

How could I admit defeat now?

You're so arrogant.

Now that you want a complete defeat,

let's just seriously battle it out.

Wu,

you'll definitely win.

Feng Wu,

now that we're competing on spirit energy,

why don't we fight

without using weapons?

Then we won't make things ugly.

Okay.

Without the Phoenix Sword,

do you really think you can defeat Mu Yao?

What are you doing?

Are we gonna fight or not?

Sure.

Wait a second.

Let's start.

This decides if you'll be admitted.

Master puts a high premium on it

and hopes disciples from Celestial Palace

will all perform well.

Feng Wu is a cultivator again.

She'll be a risk to us in any case.

This competition can only be

won but not lost.

You practice the fire cultivation

and we practice the water one.

Water extinguishes fire.

You're destined to lose this competition with me.

That's hard to tell.

I don't care what cultivation you practice.

Oh dear,

I didn't expect her spirit energy

to improve so quickly.

-Wu. -Zhao Ge,

if you go on there,

you'll break the rules

and Feng Wu will be disqualified.

Madam.

Qiu Ling,

how's the exam going on?

The spirit energy test has started.

I hear the participants are all elites.

It's highly competitive.

Feng Wu just needs to do her best.

I don't want her to get hurt.

Don't worry, Madam.

His Highness Jun and the others are all there.

She won't be hurt.

We agreed not to make things ugly

but why were you hacking at me?

Everything's predestined in this contest

and we've got a bet.

Do you think I'll show mercy to you?

If you surrender now,

I'll let you go.

Otherwise, I'll hack your hands and feet off

and then get your bell.

You're dreaming on!

Dean, do you think...

Feng Wu,

I'm begging you.

Admit defeat.

Master Zhao,

Mu Yao is not aiming at the bell

but Feng Wu's life.

Aren't you going to do anything?

If she doesn't admit defeat,

we have no right to interfere based on the rules.

Lady,

if you think it's too much for you,

you could admit defeat.

I'm not going

to submit to people

like her.

Feng Wu.

Wu.

Feng Wu.

Master Zhao.

She's alright.

She just passed out.

In this competition,

Mu Yao...

Awesome.

I didn't think this girl's

spirit energy was aroused when she was in danger.

Feng Wu.

Phoenix Blood?

Is she...

My Lady, you finally woke up.

What time is it?

Judging by the sun,

it should be three o'clock.

What's wrong, My Lady?

Three o'clock?

It was three o'clock when I went to compete.

Did I travel back in time after a sleep?

What are you thinking about?

It has been three days since the exam.

What?

When His Highness took you home,

we were worried sick.

Luckily, he gave you spirit energy

and...

What are you doing, My Lady?

The list will be published today.

My Lady, put on your clothes first.

Madam,

today we came to visit you.

Thank you for entertaining us.

You're welcome, Your Highness.

Has Feng Wu woken?

She was sleeping this morning so I didn't wake her.

Let her sleep.

It's good for her to sleep longer.

What's he doing here?

This is Feng's Mansion.

I came to see my friend.

Did I have to tell you?

Now that I'm okay,

why didn't you wake me up?

Madam didn't allow us.

She wanted you to get some rest.

You had been studying before.

We all worried about you.

What are you following her for?

Did she ask you to come?

Did she want you to check the list with her?

Have you heard?

In addition to three Great Spiritual Masters,

only fifty disciples are admitted.

The 38th one is pretty good.

Congratulations.

I'm definitely failing.

There are so many skilled practitioners.

I'm no match for them.

Let's go.

-Oh, no. -I got in.

My name isn't on it.

Make way. Make way.

Excuse me, let us through, please.

The devil is here!

My Lady,

why are these people

so afraid of you?

Maybe I almost killed Mu Yao.

What?

-You... -I don't know what happened then

and I just passed out.

They didn't disqualify me

because of that, did they?

Qiu Ling, look for my name now.

(NO.39 Zhao Ge)

Look, My Lady.

Miss Zhao Ge

is on the list.

Zhao Ge?

This isn't right.

Zhao Ge is on the list.

Does this mean I failed?

(NO.50 Feng Wu)

You're here, My Lady.

Did I get in?

Qiu Ling, I got in.

I finally got into Junwu Academy.

Great.

Bowls for sale. Bowls for sale.

Check them out.

They're handmade.

How much is this?

Check this out.

Wait, Xuan Yi.

Shop with me.

The exam has been over.

How fun this is.

Boring.

What do you want, then?

I'll shop with you.

You have so many books at your house.

Why are you interested in this now?

These are all for junior-rank spiritual practitioners.

Even though we've got in with luck,

we still need to study hard.

She doesn't have a good grounding in it.

I want to get her some books

so that she'll learn something new.

She...

Do you mean Miss Zhao Ge?

Xuan Yi,

you care very much about Miss Zhao Ge.

You resolved her doubts before the exam

and now you're buying her books.

Are you going to keep teaching her

in Junwu Academy?

Miss Zhao Ge is always devoted to cultivation

but there wasn't a good way for her

to improve her cultivation base.

If I can help her,

this is what I should do.

I'm just doing what I can.

Okay, okay. You're warmhearted.

I'm going to the bookstore.

Boring.

Mr. Xuan Yi.

Miss Zhao Ge.

Can I

have a word with you?

I...

I have something to say.

Miss Zhao Ge,

why don't we talk later?

I need to go to the bookstore.

Mr. Xuan Yi,

(Nine Important Things about Cultivation)

did you forget

as long as I got in,

you'd grant a request of mine?

♪The elf in charge of dreams put on wings♪

♪to disguise herself as a bird.♪

Oh, yes.

What can I do for you?

♪I bumped into someone's chest♪

I...

I...

I want to call you Yi, can I?

♪and shouted all my lonely grievances.♪

Is...

♪The person in front came just in time.♪

is that a request?

Of course.

It's...

♪It seemed my face was burning.♪

it's nothing to you

but to me, it is quite significant.

♪It wasn't a coincidence.♪

Alright,

as long as you like it.

But you can't let other girls call you that.

Other girls?

Yes... yes.

It was hard for me

to get this reward through the exam.

If other girls also call you that...

Anyway...

♪There were not only sorrows in the wind♪

Well...

It'll just be bad.

♪but also the smell of love.♪

I just want to say...

Okay.

You agreed, Yi?

Don't go back on your word.

Okay.

You mean Feng Wu was still listed?

Yes.

Wu Youdao put her on the list personally.

What on earth

is Wu Youdao planning to do?

Why couldn't Zuo Qingluan find favor with him?

I hear Zuo Qingluan wanted to be a disciple of him

but he turned her down.

Contrary to that,

he accepted a Chart of Acupoints and Meridians

Feng Wu drew

and appreciated her very much.

Feng Wu lost her cultivation base before

but within a short time,

she was promoted to senior-rank spiritual practitioner

and succeeded in Peerless Tower.

Is it really

related to the existence of Mu Jiuzhou's soul?

Your Majesty,

I have no idea.

But do you think

Mu Jiuzhou's soul is still there?

Lord Demon said

he saw that star twinkling.

It had been dead for so many years.

Except Mu Jiuzhou, who has the ability

to wake it up on Qianyuan Continent?

Go and investigate Feng Wu and the Feng family again.

I need to know who are on her side

and if someone's improving her spirit energy secretly.

You must do it carefully.

If she's really so capable,

she mustn't be Jun Linyuan's Spiritual Princess.

It's a blessing and the new beginning from Junwu.

Students came from everywhere like swallows.

From today on,

you'll be cultivators of the academy.

You must be diligent,

help each other

and eliminate demons.

Only then won't you shame the academy

and fail in cultivation.

There are 134 rules in Junwu Academy.

You need to remember them

and always be a good person.

Read them.

134 rules of Junwu Academy are as follows.

NO.1, do not collude with the evil.

NO.2, do not allow bad people to hurt good ones.

NO.3, do not bully the weak.

NO.4, do not misuse your spirit energy.

NO.5, do not be rude to the elders.

NO.6, do not slack and waste time.

NO.134, do not be jealous and distrustful.

That's it for the rules. Keep them in mind.

Salute your masters.

Over.

I got in.

Where's my reward?

What reward?

You...

Alright, I remembered it.

I will do what I promised you.

That's more like it.

Long live Junwu.

I hope you'll bear your mission in mind

and concentrate on cultivation.
