Father,

I’ll go to the selection of the Five Sects.

I want to get strong.

It’s not only because I want to save my mom,

or I want to be with Luo Li.

I want to protect my family

from other dangers.

The test will be full of difficulties.

Let alone joining the Five Sects,

it’s already a difficulty for you

to save your own life.

My mother is the goddess.

Do I really have no power?

That’s OK.

I’m used to it.

However dangerous it will be,

I will go.

Good boy.

You’ve grown up.

But, Chen,

you’ve got to remember,

as long as you make the decision,

you’ll have to bear

all the risks and consequences

that may fall on you.

I understand.

The Great Ruler

Episode 4

Good!

Your power and magic circle

have a perfect combination.

But the circle you drew

has a small flaw.

It’s OK.

More practice will make it better.

Come to think of it,

the most difficult part

about forming the magic circle

is drawing the map.

You’ll get better

after practice.

Liu Mubai,

you are quite a teacher material.

I think you are better than Mr. Xi.

He always makes a speech before he teaches.

It annoys me so much.

Don’t say that.

How can I compare to him?

So what’s your next plan?

Plan?

Yes.

You can’t be a student for life, right?

After graduating from the Five Sects,

I will return to Liu Territory

and become the Ruler.

I’m the only son after all.

And then,

I’ll get married and have children.

I still have things to do. I have to go.

Luo Li.

Glad that you are here.

I’m just passing by.

What

are you doing?

I’m preparing for the selection of Five Sects.

The Five Sects

are the five most powerful magic schools in Beiling.

If I can make it in,

I’ll get access to learn more

powerful magic circles.

I don’t have any magic power,

so

I can only practice this way.

Selection?

I heard it could be very dangerous.

People get hurt

every year.

That’s true.

There were even students

died during the selection one year.

That’s why

they called off

the extreme dangerous Nine-Level Trial

and replaced it with the current Three-Level Trial.

But it’s still quite difficult.

Every level

is filled with dangers.

Then why are you still going?

I have to.

And I must win the selection.

Is it more important

than your life?

As long as I enter the Five Sects,

I can learn all kinds of magical circles.

I want to be stronger.

If anything bad

happened to you,

you father

would be devastated.

I’m doing this

to prevent that from happening.

What do you mean?

I trust you.

Let me tell you the truth.

I just learned that

my mom risked her life

to protect me and my dad.

Her whereabouts still remains unknown.

I want to take her back,

so that our family can get together.

I want to learn at the Five Sects,

I want to become stronger

and defeat all the enemies

in order to protect my loved ones

from getting hurt again.

I know

you have the things you need to do

and the people you need to protect.

So do I.

If you see me as your friend,

please don’t try to stop me.

I’ll help you.

You’ll help me?

Let’s go to

the selection together.

-I’ll protect you. -I’ll protect you.

I want to repay you

for teaching me how to speak.

OK!

Doesn’t that mean you’ll accept me as your disciple?

Not really.

Master,

everything’s ready.

We can set off any time.

Good.

How is it going with Liu Territory?

Based on the messenger’s letter,

Liu Qingtian has arrived at the Lake of Dragon.

Master,

do you really trust Liu Qingtian?

At this point,

we have no other choice.

Chen, where are you going?

Dad,

we are going back to school.

Mr. Mu,

I’ll help Mu Chen

during the selection.

Dad,

don’t worry.

Luo Li is an expert at the Deity Level

just like you.

The selection is a piece of cake for her.

Miss Luo Li,

thank you for helping Chen.

We’ll leave now.

Yes.

My kid, it’s time.

I’ll bestow the Eye of Heaven upon you.

Go and eliminate the troublesome humans.

Yes.

Order is taken!

The Eye of Heaven is able to absorb the magic power

many times faster than the Eye of Source.

Although it’s highly efficient,

it’s easy to be spotted.

Qingxuan,

you are a cautious person,

so I decided to send you.

Don’t let me down.

Father, don’t worry.

I won’t disappoint you.

I’ll find a perfect timing to attack and make it impossible for them to fight back!

Liu.

Mu.

Has anybody seen you on the way?

No worry.

Everything’s set.

Good.

How are you going to investigate?

I’ll enhance the strength of the Power-detecting Circle

Chen created by dozens of times.

By then,

we can easily find out where the power goes.

Sounds good.

In that case,

without further ado,

let’s move.

We can’t let the Black Dragon find out,

or both of our territories

will be in severe danger.

Qian’er,

safety comes first.

You’ve got to be careful.

Don’t overexert yourself when encountering danger.

The selection is held every year.

Yet you only have on life.

Must be careful!

I got you.

-Stop nagging. -Mu Chen.

How well are you prepared?

I

am ready!

Don’t try to be a hero.

The selection is not a joke.

I’ve prepared for that.

If we don’t participate in the selection,

then what’s the point of coming to Beiling School?

Look at those two.

They seem

to be very close to each other.

I think

he’s been working hard for this.

Please be quiet.

You must have been looking forward to the selection.

As the rule goes,

the selection has three tests.

You will be sent to different locations

to take different tests

after entering the trial realm.

The first 10 people who reach the third test

will be qualified to enter the final selection.

Now,

here’s the good news.

Considering only a few people were able to pass the selection,

the North Sect,

the most powerful one among the Five Sect,

has decided to recruit

five people

instead of one this year.

So many people participate in the selection,

but only 10 can pass.

It’ll be a tough one.

The trial realm is extremely dangerous.

Your life will be in danger

if you are not careful.

I suggest you think twice

before you go in there.

Mu Chen,

are you sure you want to be a part of it?

It’s too dangerous.

Don’t worry.

I’ve fully prepared for it.

OK.

Now it’s time.

The selection will start now.

Please go to the plaza and enter the Transmitting Circle.

Mu Chen.

Don’t force yourself.

That’s right.

I know.

You are like my father.

Listen, safety comes first.

Don’t force it

when danger’s upon you.

The selection is held every year,

but you only have one life.

Got it?

Hold on.

Mu Chen.

Luo Li, what are you doing?

No matter where you’ll be transmitted,

I’ll find you.

Let’s go.

My gosh!

What happened between them?

Isn’t it too soon

to wear a red rope together?

It is

too soon.

But Luo Li’s method is quite nice.

Qingshan,

shall we give it a try

like what they did?

Let’s go.

Liu Mubai…

The Eye of Heaven!

It’s been 10 years!

10 years!

How come my wound is still not healed?!

White Dragon!

You jerk!

The White Dragon risked the life to beat you.

Even there’s just 20% of power left,

it will still take a long time to heal.

Then why don’t you

share me some of the power

that the Eye of Heaven has absorbed?

Because I need all of it to eliminate the enemies

who try to stop me from coming back to life.

Don’t you forget

that you told me that.

With the two Eyes,

my power will be restored in no time.

I wouldn’t need your help at all!

What?

You can’t wait?

I’ve been waiting for 5,000 years.

And it’s only been 10 years for you.

How dare you

to talk to me this way?

Master!

Please…

Please forgive me.

Black Dragon,

I adore your ambition.

I will give you the things that you need.

But you can’t take the things

that don’t belong to you.

I see.

Master.

The Eye of Heaven.

Mo,

don’t know how the selection will come out this time.

Many students get hurt every year.

But the Five Sects

set the rules.

We have no say in it.

Mu Chen signed up the selection too.

Why didn’t you stop him?

He has no magic power at all, if…

I’m sure that Mu Chen

is fully aware of the consequences

that may arise from participating in the selection.

But he chose to do it anyway.

With such a strong determination,

Xi,

do you think I can stop him?

Xi,

you felt it too.

Something

just pulled

my magic power.

Something’s wrong.

The wave of magic power

shouldn’t send out such a feeling.

Come on,

let’s go find out what’s going on.

Luo Li?

Luo Li?

What kind of place is it?

It’s a vision.

But what makes it happen?

He has magic power!

Xue Lingzi!

No matter why you show up here,

I will kill you today!

What the hell are you doing?

You are really going to kill me?

Luo Li?

Xue Lingzi!

Kill me!

Or I’ll kick you out of Luo God Clan sooner or later!

Luo Li!

It’s me!

I’m Mu Chen!

You… You are Mu Chen?

How come you’ve become Xue Lingzi?

Is it a part of the test?

You…

You can’t hear me?

Then how are we supposed to get out of here?

Why did you

have to become him?

This place is a vision that’s been enchanted

with magic power.

We must strike with strong

magic power shockwave to get out of here.

I have an idea!

What do you mean by that?

I don’t understand.

You.

Me?

Down?

I go into the water?

Why would I do that?

There’s no water here.

You!

Me.

Strike!

Strike?

The magic circles!

You want me to strike the magic circles?

I got it.

Who did you see just now?

You attacked so hard

as if you wanted to kill somebody.

It was an enemy.

Luckily, you figured out it was a vision,

otherwise,

you’d have been killed by me.

I’m not that weak, alright?

I’m glad I didn’t hurt you.

But this trial is really terrifying.

Don’t know how many students

will be trapped in the vision

if they are not focused enough.

This is only the first test.

We must be careful.

Let’s go.

Looks like this is the last test.

Don’t get lost.

No worry.

We won’t.

I guess

we can’t pass

until we beat it.

Mu Chen.

Step back.

This is Beiming Golden Eagle.

It is the beast

that ate your Jiezi Coin.

You sure?

There’s no way

that I’d forget its sneaky look.

And you can even

see through its belly.

Luo Li.

Don’t worry.

I’ll get it back for you.

Even your Luo God Sword is not working,

not to mention the regular weapons.

The magic spell

won’t work on it.

No wonder this crappy stone

is so strong.

And it likes to eat gold and silver.

It knows exactly what to replenish!

Mu Chen,

give me a piece of magic stones.

Why?

Create a Rosemary Circle,

I’ll lure it away.

Alright!

Tan Qingshan,

congratulations! You are in.

Now,

we have only one place left.

Please be patient.

Can’t believe

that you are not eliminated.

It’s such a miracle!

I refuse to leave

before you get eliminated!

Where’s Mu Chen?

He’s not here yet.

He has no magic power.

I’m afraid he might be in danger.

What about Luo Li?

She’s not here either.

It’s not right.

With her strength,

she should’ve been here long time ago.

What’s the matter?

Something’s wrong.

The magic power is leaving my body.

I don’t feel anything.

Neither do I.

Maybe I think too much.

Hurry.

I can’t hold it anymore.

Hurry!

I’ll count to three.

Then let’s split up.

OK!

One.

Two.

Three.

Run!

Looks like

we passed.

It’s finally back.

It lost its power?

How come?

Doesn’t matter.

We’ll think of something else.

Luo Li.

It’s all my fault.

Things wouldn’t be like this

if I didn’t lose the Jiezi Coin.

It’s alright.

You’ve said that you’d find it with me

throughout Beiling,

the Five Sects,

and the entire world.

OK!

Luo Li.

I’ll keep my word.

I’ll help you find a solution.

We have one last test to go.

Come on.

They are here!

You guys arrived early.

Sir,

I thought only 10

would be qualified for the final selection.

Why there are 11 now?

That’s right.

It rarely happens.

They must have used

some sort of dirty tricks

during the selection.

They should be disqualified!

What did you say?

I think

this is the reason.

Our school doesn’t have any rule

against teamwork.

So they didn’t break the rule.

Mubai,

why are you siding with them?

That’s correct!

The goal of the first selection was to break the vision,

not to defeat the rival.

They have tokens as proof.

However,

in such critical circumstances,

they could find each other

and join hands to pass the selection,

it shows that they have the required courage and mutual trust

to be finalists.

But,

no matter how many finalists we got,

only five will be qualified to be enrolled

in the North Sect.

The rule for the final selection

is very simple.

It’s a duel

of two.

Give the unique situation this year,

and according to the established practice of our school,

Liu Mubai can be enrolled directly

since he’s been outstanding for the recent three years.

The rest 10

will compete in pairs.

The one who loses will be eliminated, while the one who wins will be enrolled.

The magic spell has no mercy. You shall be responsible for your own life.

But remember,

you must fight empty-handed,

no any kind of weapons

or magic tools are allowed to be used!

Understand?

No wonder Mr. Mo told me

the selection would be different this year.

This is why.

Now,

Huo Yun and Chen Fan,

please get on the stage.

Mo,

what’s that in the sky?

How…

How come it can take away our magic power?

Seal the power!

Mo.

This won’t work.

We can’t hold much longer.

Send somebody

to seek help from other territories!

Yes!

Are you worried about the duel?

I bet this is why

Mr. Mo wouldn’t let me come.

Now it’s great,

I’ll be beat to death later.

Afraid?

No!

If I can’t pass the selection,

how am I supposed to save my mother?

I’ll help you later.

Thank you.

But I can’t rely on you all the time.

Mu Chen,

cheer up.

We are all here,

you may be paired up with one of us.

Qingshan,

if you were to let me win,

we wouldn’t be friends anymore.

You too, Qian’er.

No worry. If I were to fight against you, I’d use my full strength.

Is that how you comfort people?

Your words are quite touching.

Next,

Liu Yang and Tan Qingshan!

I will win!

Don’t be so certain.

We are both at the Rotating Level.

It’s too early to say who will win.

You think my Rotating Level

is the same as yours?

Loser!

Qingshan, good luck!

Good luck!

Mu,

why did you bring me to this cave?

I’ve been trying to find out

the secret of the Lake of Dragon for 10 years.

But I’ve had no clue.

Fortunately,

Chen found this cave

within the Fairyland of Beiling School.

This cave is not far away from the Lake of Dragon,

and it’s located at the weakest point of the barrier.

Liu,

see it with your own eyes.

Liu,

you’ve seen it.

Do you believe me now?

The Eye of Source

doesn’t do any good to Beiling.

But,

we have to break the barrier

before we can destroy the Lake of Dragon.

The barrier was created by Black Dragon.

He would notice

if it were broken.

Moreover,

Dragon Palace is very close to the Lake of Dragon.

so we have to act in absolute secret

and make sure to break it in one go.

Liu.

The trees may prefer calm but the wind will not subside.

It’ll be too late for us to do anything

when the magic power in Beiling

gets all sucked away.

Master,

Mr. Mo is seeking help from every territory!

What happened?

Mr. Mo said the magic power of School is disappearing all of a sudden.

Many students are trapped in the underground trial field.

He can’t get them out.

Mubai!

Qingshan!

Tan Qingshan,

just surrender!

You are not my match!

Liu Yang will win.

Liu Mubai,

dare to take a bet?

I bet Qingshan will win!

I think Liu Yang will win.

It’s not because he’s my cousin,

but he’s really good at swift strike

and his magic power is stronger.

Qingshan can’t defeat him.

Surrender to me!

Don’t underestimate me!

Alright!

You didn’t pay attention.

Qingshan, go!

Liu Yang!

Don’t kill him! We are all classmates after all!

-Qingshan! -Qingshan!

-Qingshan! -Qingshan!

Are you OK?

Liu Yang, congratulations!

Now will he surrender?

Qingshan lost,

because he’s not as skilled as you.

Your combat skills and magic power

are superior to his.

You won

fair and square.

Mu Chen!

Qian’er,

Mu Chen is right.

My strength is not good enough.

As long as you realize that.

At such a disadvantage,

you found a way to strike back

and used the Flame Fist,

I think you’ve surpassed the Rotating Level,

and are now at the Deity Level.

I guess

it won’t take long

before you get better than Liu Mubai

I still have a long way to go to be as good as my brother.

How come you are being so nice to me?

Qingshan!

Magic-destruction Bead?

Mubai, I…

Liu Yang!

You cheated!

No wonder he won!

Sir.

It’s not my turn yet,

I think I didn’t break the rule using a tool, right?

Alright.

Tan Qingshan

won the duel!

Qingshan, congratulations!

Thank you, Mu Chen.

Liu Yang!

What’s wrong?

Qingshan!

He lost all his magic power.

Sir,

is it also a part of the selection?

Mu.

[Tang Shan, Ruler of Tang Territory]

I just received Mr. Mo’s letter,

and I rushed here through Transmitting Circle.

What happened?

Mu,

Rulers,

I’m sure you have all seen it.

Although we are trying hard

to withhold the barrier,

if we don’t figure out a solution soon,

I’m afraid it won’t take half a day

before all of our magic power

gets sucked away,

then we’ll all be killed.

So, hope you can

think of a way

to save the students of Beiling School.

Mr. Mo,

where are Mubai and the others?

They’ve entered the Fairyland

before it happened.

How are they doing now?

I have no idea.

It won’t work.

Once the selection begins,

the transmitting gate will be closed.

Only Mr. Xi has the magic key

to open it.

But…

Mo,

Let me help you!

Liu, have you seen it?

What do you mean?

The Nine Eyes appear.

The Evil Deity is about to revive.
