[Sword Dynasty]

[Episode 7]

Now that White Goat and Green Vine are one, there is a great difference in the atmosphere around this Sword Trial Festival.

And the fact that Cave Master Xue has reached the seventh realm is the pride of both sects.

You are too kind.

Now, I'm just a frequenter with a lot of time on my hands.

I'm merely here to enjoy the liveliness.

If there is anything that requires my White Goat Cave's disciples help,

please ask for help as needed.

Master, Cave Master.

[Duan Mulian, Green Vine Sword School]

The Sword Trial Festival is the annual tradition of the Green Vine Sword School.

And this year, White Goat Cave has joined as well.

The prize of the winner will be

awarded a piece of Green Jade Amber.

So you must work even harder.

Ban Mu.

Master.

Practitioners cannot bother with trifles,

but must abide by the rules.

Those undergoing the trial must pass through the trial valley.

With the time limit set at three days,

with a fire beacon made from wolf dung as the horn,

you must reach a predetermined area before sunset.

Every disciple will have a talisman on their body.

In the canyon, two people cannot travel together. If two people meet each other,

after battling, the winner shall obtain the opposing side's emblem. The loser shall be eliminated.

When three people remain, with the fire beacon as the horn, the competition shall end.

In this competition, the person with the most talismans will win.

This kind of rule is especially unfavorable to you.

Among these people are the likes of He Zhaoxi, Liang Li, Sun Xing.

They're all in the upper level of the third realm, and have the greatest hope of winning this trial.

These kinds of rules indeed are more beneficial to powerful people like them.

But you also can't say that they aren't fair.

Because competitions are made to pick out the best disciple.

But your training period is too short.

A competition with these kinds of rules will easily use up your stamina.

I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep up.

It's fine.

If there are rules, there will naturally be a way to adapt.

Everyone, please follow me.

Brother-in-law, you have to cheer up! You're the best! I believe in you!

Brother-in-law, jiayou!

Move aside.

Ding Ning, you have to be careful.

[Sword Trial Festival Canyon]

Everyone, choose a vine to take you down.

Wait for twenty breaths between each person.

Understand?

We understand.

You have to be careful. Don't be impatient.

You too. If you can't beat them, just run. In this kind of long-duration competition,

nobody knows what will happen in the end.

Are you going first? Or am I?

I'll go first.

I hope that you'll maintain your position in front of me.

Keep your word.

Here.

Be careful.

I'll go first.

Go.

Sister, Sister, look! Brother-in-law is so cool!

This is impossible. For a normal practitioner, even after one year of harsh practice,

he still won't be able to train his sword skills to this level.

In such a short period of time,

he has managed to become so familiar with the Wild Fire Sword Creed.

It is impossible.

Unless he is like the people from Minshan Sword Sect, and is a genius.

No matter how flexible the vine is,

it cannot compare to a practitioner's sword.

Let's see how he performs once he meets a real practitioner.

Mr. Duan Mu, I think that your way of speech is very lame.

At least from the present situation,

my brother-in-law has surpassed the majority of people in this competition.

Ding Ning. You may be White Goat's hottest genius at the moment

but today, I want you to be the first to drop out.

Nice sword. What sword is it?

This sword is named Dark Fire.

It is a product of Willow Spring County's Secret Fire Sword Works.

Sis, why did brother-in-law run off?

Senior...

He can't even face a sword in the hand of a cultivator.

I think he isn't as great as you think he is.

Sis... It's still not too late to take it back.

Look, look, look! My brother-in-law is too amazing!

Look, look, that's my brother-in-law!

He used a broken sword to defeat

the Dark Fire Sword from the Secret Fire Sword Works.

That's just coincidence. If there wasn't a trap like that there

the loser right now would have been Ding Ning.

The ability to use one's surroundings is also a skill.

That's too bad. Most battles between cultivators

lack such locations for taking easy advantage.

Compared to such minor tactics

I have more faith in true ability.

I lost.

Thank you for not holding a grudge from before.

Thanks!

But why does Ding Ning have such a broken sword in his hand?

Does the White Goat Cave not even have enough money to buy him a good sword?

That's right, that's right! If they have no money they should talk to me. Our Xie family will pay for it!

Shut your mouth!

Ding Ning's performance may be unusually good, but his ultimately his cultivation is still low.

And his physical condition is clearly not as good as the other disciples.

It has just begun.

Light the signal.

But...

It's over, it's over. Once the signal is lit, Ding Ning won't have much time left.

- Keep going, brother-in-law! Please don't be eliminated now! - It doesn't look good.

Even if he is a genius that achieved Tong Xuan in half a day

he went in the wrong direction.

In such a short time, with his level of cultivation

looks like he won't get to the specified zone in time.

I'm—!

[Minshan Sword Sect]

I beg to meet Baili Suxue.

[Jing Liuli, Minshan Sword Sect]

You are...?

Gongsun Qianxue

Please wait a moment, Ms. Gongsun. I will inform the Sect Master.

Thank you for your trouble.

[Baili Sunxue, Sect Master of Minshan Sword Sect]

To have Ms. Gongsun who has not been seen for many years

to appear again at Minshan

reflects well on me.

Sect master is quite direct in your words.

It is true that I am here today

to make an unworthy request of you.

Since it is an unworthy request, then please return home.

If it were for myself

I would never take even half a step into Minshan.

But today

I am here for Bashan Sword Academy. For that person's...

For Liang Jingmeng's disciple.

I have no grudge against you.

But anything to do with Liang Jingmeng

I ask that you never mention again.

Why? You are brothers.

It's really quite laughable

but he was really not a likable person.

But after he's dead for ten years,

his only descendant, with a determination to die,

is planning an impossible mission.

He wants to kill the King of Heng.

From the time I met him, found out about his plan,

to this day when he dragged his Irreversible Fiery Yang body to enter White Goat Cave for cultivation.

He cannot survive over the age of 30.

Also, his cultivation will probably end his life even sooner.

He knows he is on a road of no return,

but he has never given up.

You mean, through White Goat Cave, he wants to enter

our Minshan Sword society, and gain the Xutian Sacred Technique.

I really can't bear to seeing him exhaust his life this way.

Sect Master, please consider the fact that you were bonded in brotherhood with Liang Jingmeng,

Please lend him the Xutian Sacred Technique for one time.

Don't call us brothers.

But, regarding swordplay and cultivation level,

he was really a grandmaster of an era.

Many years ago, I already lost hope in him.

After his death, I set up rules

to forbid Bashan disciples to ever enter our Minshan Sword Sect.

Even Ye Zhen and Yuan Wu cannot do anything about me.

Any rules that I, Baili Suxue, command,

no Minshan disciple or anyone else is allowed to violate.

Only the Minshan Sword Society's leader

has the right to study the Xutian Sacred Technique.

Miss Gongsun, I'm afraid you'll go back in disappointment.

Brother-in-Law, keep it up, Brother-in-Law!

I know you. You are Sun Xing.

Your cultivation has achieved Middle Level of Third Realm.

Do you actually think that i'd be patient enough to wait for you to finish eating?

Instead of dueling with me to see who wins now,

I think there is a better choice.

What is a better choice?

I don't want to waste time. The less time that's wasted in the first give realms,

it means there'll be more time to devote to breaking through beyond the Fifth Realm.

This is just a place for trials, so I don't want to waste much energy here.

If it's something that can be solved within two days, why wait for the third day?

When two lions try to capture a sheep, it's faster than one lion.

In other words, we will do the hunting together.

I just don't know how many people will remain before it gets dark.

Perhaps, we should fight between ourselves first?

I can agree to your suggestion, because I don't have much patience either.

Besides, I don't like to be watched as if I was a monkey in a performance.

Good, then let's use this as the boundary.

It's a deal.

What are they doing?

Divide and conquer.

Even though Ding Ning has not met an opponent who can make him exit the trail right away,

he would continue to exhaust his stamina as time goes on.

He might even be defeated by someone who is not as strong as he.

You are right,

but Sun Xing is too proud,

and He Zhaoxi and overly confident.

To them, it's not difficult to get to the last level.

What's difficult is to win.

It's because their opponents aren't someone else

but they themselves.

- Senior Brother! - Junior Brother.

Senior Brother, you know that the Sword Worship trials are conducted in fairness.

Even among the same sect's disciples, we must compete fairly.

Therefore, I'm sorry.

You lost.

Junior Brother, when we fight each other,

it's just for the competition's sake, and not for sibling rivalry slaughter.

I understand. It's just a competition.

Here.

Oh right, I just picked some medicinal berries.

You take them.

Thank you, Senior Bother.

Softhearted like a woman.

He Zhaoxi?

I actually didn't want to meet you.

Now that we've met, I'm sure you want to fight.

Actually, I've been wanting to beat you up.

Let's see what difference we really have between us.

I'm in great physical state now, and my cultivation level is above yours.

Therefore,

I will allow you three sword strikes free.

As you wish. That's just how you think.

Silver Fish Glides in Water.

Sword Fish Waves the Tail.

Catfish Searches for Snow

It's been three sword strikes. It's my turn.

Secret Fish Sword Style.

Ding Ning!

Why did he run over there?

Yes, why didn't he just avoid it?

He has run into the two most outstanding disciples at Green Vine Sword Academy.

It seems that he wants to be defeated.

Come. Slowly.

Ding Ning, why did you come here?

I'm here to pick up a good deal.

One of you has exhausted core energy, the other is severely injured.

Isn't this the best time to pick up a good deal?

Don't move, Nangong.

If you don't stop bleeding now, someone else will get the good deal.

You want to help her?

The rules didn't say I can't.

I'm glad to see that she has a friend like you.

However, you are too weak.

Ding Ning, don't worry about me. You should run— - Shut up.

Worry about yourself first.

You haven't fought me yet. How do you know I'd lose?

Besides, with my stamina and speed, I can't run away anyway.

Please.

Please.

Ding Ning!

Catch this strike!

That's so awesome!

Brother-in-Law used one elixir pill and defeated He Zhaoxi.

Too awesome! Too awesome!

- No bad. - Right.

The higher the talent, it should not be spent unwisely.

The force of that elixir pill is so powerful,

I'm afraid it will bring him a lot of negative consequences.

Ding Ning!

The Way of Elixir Sword.

Nangong Caishu gave me this elixir pill before the trials.

You've never especially studied The Way of Elixir Sword.

Just because she gave you the elixir pill, so you would protect her with your life.

Ding Ning, you are indeed a worthwhile friend to make.

You used that Huang Ting elixir pill?

Good. I concede.

Thank you, thank you. Whenever you look my brother-in-law down, he gets stronger.

Say more about him next time. Thanks.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not the time to be happy yet.

- Sun Xing? - Splendid.

That was truly a splendid fight.

However, the most splendid was the result.

Who would have guess that Green Vine Sword Academy's strongest swordsman, He Zhaoxi,

would actually be defeated by a new disciple rookie.

If I had know, I should have fought with you first.

Yes, I think it's too bad, too.

I originally thought it would be Jiang Li dueling with you here.

Then I can eliminate the last threat to me conveniently.

You want to take advantage from other's loss. That's not what a gentleman should do.

It's reckless to attack when the enemy is strong.

But this is not a battle among enemy states.

It's a trial challenge among disciples of the same sect.

Since we don't agree, why waste time talking?

Actually, I really like your temperament.

However, we were already in dispute when you first entered at the gate.

So I find you detestable every time I see you.

Senior Brother, you are really candid.

You relied on the elixir pill's force when the opponent's core energy was exhausted.

I just wonder if you have the confidence

to try my sword.

This show is getting better and better.

Let's see who will get the deer (as prize).

Ding Ning and Sun Xing have a big gap between their strengths. I'm afraid...

The person I like is not so weak.

Junior Brother.

Disciples from the same sect should help and support each other.

Now that White Goat Cave has been merged into Green Vine Sword Academy,

we are all from the same cultivation site.

Why are you making it difficult for the Junior Brother?

Eldest Disciple Brother, why are you here to join the hustle and bustle?

Junior Brother,

you actually won?

I only came to catch a good deal. If we were to duel in a fair fight outside, I don't know if I could win.

You truly won. I lost without dispute.

Farewell.

He Zhaoxi has lost.

Once we eliminate the two in front of us,

you and I will be the best finalists to win the trials.

Are you really protecting them?

A one-time win is not as important as disciple brothers' bond.

What if I don't listen to you today,

and I insist on getting their badges?

Then I obviously will have to do my best to stop you.

Eldest Disciple Brother, between you and Second Disciple Brother,

who is stronger?

Jiang Li, I don't really wish to fight you to death.

According to the rules of the trials, we are not allowed to form teams.

I don't believe you can't continue to protect them in the rest of the trials.

Junior Brother, you are bordering on venting personal grievances. Please listen to my advice.

Eldest Senior Brother,

are you sincere by saying that?

Of course. Why are you asking this way?

What you said is what a gentleman would say.

I thought you were deliberately upsetting him.

I sincerely wish to see him correct his ways.

Otherwise, his future is in doubt.

Why would I deliberately upset him?

You can look at a three-year-old and see his future.

With his personality, it's probably to difficult to change.

I defeated him only because I took the advantage.

So this badge belongs to you.

Miss Nangong, go ahead and accept it.

Disciples of White Goat Cave would not take advantages of people in peril.

Thank you.

According to the rules, we cannot team up and stay together. Therefore, Junior Brother,

Miss Nangong, be safe.

We should fight to stay to the end.

- Alright. - Alright.
