Today,

for Youyue's sake,

I'll let you off the hook.

But if there's a next time,

I won't mind

becoming the one who kills her father.

Xueying, let's go.

Remember,

you should be grateful

for having a good daughter.

Let's go.

Youyue,

let's go too.

Yue.

Yue.

Why

would you be so heartless

to hire an assassin?

It wasn't me.

The assassin you hired

almost killed me.

Do you know that?

Yu Jingqiu

risked her life

to save me.

But you...

you almost killed her.

I did all this

for your sake.

Who else

has a disappointing daughter

like you?

If it weren't

for your inability to win Dongbo Xueying's heart,

I wouldn't have to do this.

Fine.

From now on,

don't consider me

your daughter anymore.

Yue.

Yue.

Yue.

My friend,

you came.

Now I only have you

as my friend.

Let's toast together

for our unique friendship.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Youyue,

you've been drinking all night.

You haven't eaten anything, have you?

Your stomach is empty now.

It's not good for your wound.

I went to the food stall next door

and bought you a pancake.

Take a bite.

I bit you.

Why didn't you say a word?

So boring.

Do you know?

When I was little,

whenever I was unhappy,

I liked to bite people.

But back then,

people around me would say

my temperament was too wild

and that I didn't have the demeanor of a girl at all.

But my father,

only my father

never scolded me.

Every time I bit him,

he

never said a word, either.

My father said

I was the bright moon in the sky

and that I should be

free and unrestrained.

He also said

even if I poked a big hole

in the sky,

he would go find Goddess Nuwa

to fix it all for me.

But look.

Look.

The moon is gone now,

and my father is gone too.

Goddess Nuwa,

where's my father?

Did you see my father?

My father is missing.

Youyue.

Youyue.

My father is missing.

Listen to me,

you only see the moon in the west

is about to fall.

But look at the other side,

the sun in the east

is about to rise.

Where's the wine?

Alright, Youyue.

No more drinking.

Youyue.

No more wine.

Youyue.

(The sun's rays)

(are more dazzling,)

(more warming,)

(and more protective of you.)

(Don't worry.)

From now on,

I'll protect you like the sun.

Youyue.

Youyue.

Youyue.

Y-Y-You've been asleep all day.

You must be hungry.

Come and have a bite to eat, okay?

I...

Go, go.

You sit here.

This is your favorite bun.

Eat.

Jingqiu,

I'm sorry.

My father...

So much talk at breakfast.

If you don't eat, I will.

Who said I was not eating?

This is the bun Jingqiu gave me.

That is the bun I gave Youyue.

Why did you take it?

Give it back to her quickly.

Alright, alright.

I'll go get a few more buns.

How many do you want?

Five.

You eat more.

Have the meal.

Eat this.

(A delicious meal with added sleeping spell.)

(It guarantees everyone)

(will sleep soundly tonight.)

Rong,

I, you...

Why are you dressed like this?

Qingshi,

I'm going to show off

my cooking skills to everyone.

I can't dress too fancy while cooking.

This way,

even if I dirty my clothes, I won't feel bad.

How can you not feel bad?

I feel bad.

You came to the Xueying Territory,

and you're our guest.

How can we let you cook for us?

You've been so hospitable,

and I want to show my gratitude for it.

So I'd like to cook personally for you

as a way of saying thank you.

You are

just too kind,

always thinking of others.

I'll go serve the dishes first.

Listen to me.

There are people

who will serve the dishes.

You

just go change your clothes.

I won't allow you to wear this

to dinner.

What about all this other stuff?

Leave it to me. Don't worry.

Rest assured.

Go, go.

Leave it to me.

Just go.

(Oh, no!)

(Oh!)

(Oh my...)

(Ji Rong is tired enough already.)

(I can't cause her more trouble.)

(Isn't it just cooking?)

(I can even learn)

(advanced spells.)

(Cooking must)

(be a piece of cake.)

(With my thunder fire,)

(how can I not cook?)

Why are these so black?

No need for formalities.

Everyone,

please take a seat.

Come, Rong.

Well,

today's dinner

is particularly special.

Of course.

Today's dishes

are personally cooked

by Ji Rong.

I've been living in the Xueying Territory for so long,

causing everyone

so much trouble.

I have nothing

to repay you.

Only my cooking skills are decent.

I'll use this meal

to express my gratitude.

Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong San,

you must taste

the dishes cooked by Ji Rong.

They are top-notch delicacies in the world.

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's eat then.

Bros.

- You eat. - You eat.

You eat.

(Did the sleeping spell)

(cause a change)

(in the dishes?)

I feel like I'm struck

by lightning.

Really, Uncle Tong San?

Maybe it's because the food is too good.

Try this one.

Come on.

Taste it.

Here you are. This is delicious.

This is not the dish I cooked.

Well, who was it then?

Who cooked it?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Rong.

It was me.

I accidentally knocked it over.

(So that's what happened.)

It's okay.

Then you specially

cooked a whole table of dishes to make up for it.

It's very thoughtful.

I'm very touched.

Qingshi, you cooked it?

No wonder it feels like being struck by lightning.

Uncle Tong San.

Everyone, please wait a moment.

I'll make soup for you again.

I'll be back soon.

- Alright. - Alright.

Fine.

Is it that horrible?

Come on, drink.

Let's get hammered.

- Fill it up. - Come on.

This soup is so delicious.

Delicious.

- Yes. - It's really delicious.

So delicious.

It's so good.

It's been a long time

since I've had such a delicious soup.

Have more if you like it.

I cooked a lot.

Every soldier of the Xueying Territory

has a share.

That's great.

Qingshi,

how is it? Is it tasty?

Yeah.

I'll have another bowl.

Is there more?

Yes.

Everything's settled?

Yes. Follow me.

This is Dongbo Lie's tomb?

That's right. It's here.

All of you guard outside

until I give you a message.

Remember.

Don't let anyone

approach this place.

- Yes. - Yes.

Why does my head hurt so much?

And I feel a little dizzy.

Did I eat

something wrong tonight?

Strange.

Why didn't I see

a single guard

all the way here?

Who's there?

Demons.

That...

That is Qingshi.

How is it possible

that a small mage

has such a huge power?

Ji Rong,

don't let him know our purpose.

Use the Slumber Spell

to stop him.

Yes.

I don't care who you are.

I won't let any of you

disturb my father.

Never.

Qingshi.

Qingshi.

Rong.

(Xueying Territory)

Qingshi.

Qingshi, you're awake.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Qingshi.

Qingshi, what happened to you?

Rong,

there were demons here last night.

So many demons.

I saw them with my own eyes

right in front of my father's tomb.

Then I used the Lightning Technique

and I killed them all.

But now,

why is there nothing left?

Qingshi,

there was no lightning

and no demons last night.

It was all just a dream.

A dream?

How could it be?

It felt so real.

I was worried about you last night,

so I came to check on you.

But you were having a nightmare.

You kept calling for your father in your sleep.

I wanted to wake you up,

but I couldn't.

I wanted to find someone to help,

but you kept holding my hand

and wouldn't let me go.

So I stayed with you.

Really?

It was all just a dream?

H-H-How could this be?

This is the mark you left on my hand.

Did you forget?

I'm sorry, Rong.

I'm sorry. I...

I'm fine.

You came here early in the morning

barefoot.

If Uncle Tong San

knows it,

he'll blame me again.

How could I...?

How could I have such a dream?

Come.

Let's go.

Let's put your shoes on first.

I'll help you put them on.

I...

I can do it myself.

No progress on the new Demon Well,

but the Black Armored Warriors were wiped out.

Ao Lan,

how dare you say the warriors aren't strong enough!

They are controlled by me alone.

So you're implying

I'm not capable?

Master, please calm down.

But...

I never expected

Dongbo Qingshi,

who's merely a small mage,

to single-handedly defeat

the Black Armored Warriors.

It's really strange.

The Black Armored Warriors

are the key

to unlocking the Demon Well.

If they are not strong enough,

it will definitely affect

your plan to make a comeback.

Please reconsider, Master.

You...

Alright.

Ao Lan is right.

Restoring my body

is urgent.

The Black Armored Warriors

need to be stronger.

It's my negligence.

But...

the demonization process

does take time.

I'm afraid it's not possible in a short time...

Master,

I have an idea.

Tell us.

We spend a lot of time

making ordinary people

Black Armored Warriors,

and their strength

is just average.

So why don't we find

some exceptionally skilled individuals

who are already strong

and make them demons?

Then we can do more with less.

What a joke!

Are exceptional people

that easy to find?

Isn't there a perfect opportunity

right now?

The Transcendent Trial is about to begin.

The young people who participate

are all very capable.

If we control and use

a Transcendent Knight,

we are bound to gain something.

Master, please reconsider.

There will be many Transcendent Knights

and strong protective barriers at the Transcendent Trial.

What's worse,

the barriers are controlled by Chi Qiubai.

If we act rashly,

it may alert the Xia Clan's Transcendent cultivators.

Please reconsider, Master.

High Priest,

aren't you being too cautious?

Merely Chi Qiubai

can make you so scared.

What did you say?

High Priest,

the Black Armored Warriors

are the linchpin

of my plan.

You must hurry the demonization.

The more, the better.

Yes.

As for the plan to capture the new Transcendent cultivators...

Ao Lan,

are you confident in dealing with Chi Qiubai?

It's time

to make Chi Qiubai choose.

Alright.

I'll leave this matter to you.

Understood.

Remember,

now the most important thing

is to carry out the plan.

Those who contribute will be rewarded,

and those who make mistakes

will be punished.

Yes.

Yes.

Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi is still alive?

This is her energy core?

Right.

This is Bu Xiaoxi's energy core.

So now,

can you talk to me nicely?

You despicable person.

What exactly do you want to do?

This Divine Datura Flower

is a treasure in the Demon Realm.

It survives by absorbing cultivators' energy cores

and can also nourish them.

If it hadn't been for it,

your woman

would have already been destroyed.

It is said that the Divine Datura Flower

can drain the spiritual power of an energy core

once a day,

then restore it

and start again,

making its owner suffer agony.

Only by using our clan's secret techniques

can the seal be undone.

Maybe I will even allow you

to see her one last time.

What do you think?

Is that good enough for you?

Ao Lan,

what exactly do you want?

As we all know,

you're extraordinary.

And you are the youngest one

to enter the Transcendent Realm

on the Dragon Mountain Continent.

So,

I want you to help our Demon God Association.

Don't even think about it.

I am at odds

with the Demon Clan.

Chi Qiubai,

don't speak too soon.

We will meet again eventually.

Xueying.

(Mother,)

(wait for me.)

(I will soon enter the Transcendent Realm.)

Jingqiu,

that move you just used was amazing.

Can you teach me?

Youyue,

you won't be able

to learn Jingqiu's move.

How about this? I'll teach you

something practical.

What I want is a move that can be used

in the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death.

Don't waste my time

with your amateur moves.

You want to participate in the battle?

Do you know why the Transcendent Trial

is called

the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death?

Although it is not

lethal,

it is still

pretty savage.

It is said that everyone

who wants to step into the Transcendent Realm

has to go there,

breaking through their limits

and experiencing the test of life and death.

So what's your purpose

in coming to Changfeng Academy?

Isn't it to break through yourself

and challenge the tasks

you couldn't complete before?

Jingqiu,

I know

I'm not as good as you,

but I don't want

to be too far behind you.

Can you teach me?

Of course.

I'll teach you the method

of improving your spiritual power later.

Okay.

Then I'll participate, too.

I'll participate in the Transcendent Trial.

Why do you have to be such a copycat?

If you can go,

I can definitely go too.

Right?

Qingshi.

Why is he here?

Rong,

why are you here?

I'm sorry.

I'll help you up.

I came to the mountain to catch rabbits,

but I didn't expect to see

such a big rabbit.

Rong,

you want rabbits?

That's easy.

I'll help you catch one,

or two,

or three, four, five.

By the way, Qingshi,

why are you here?

The nightmare I had last night

was too real.

So I've been worried

and wanted to come here and take a look.

(It seems)

(I must find a way)

(to get Qingshi away.)

Rong,

Rong.

What?

I have some good news to tell you.

What good news?

My brother wrote a letter.

He said

he was going to participate in the Transcendent Trial.

And Uncle Tong San promised

to take me to Yishui City to watch it.

This way,

I can cheer

for my brother.

You're just going to cheer?

I thought

you would participate in it too.

How is that possible, Rong?

With my strength,

I can't beat those people at all.

That's not true.

In my heart,

besides your brother,

you are the best.

Really, Rong?

Am I that great?

Of course.

I don't think

you're worse than your brother.

Rong,

but I...

I really can't do it.

No more wavering.

Even if you can't enter the Transcendent Realm,

it's okay.

Just take this time

as an opportunity to practice.

Improve your strength

to help your brother save your mother later.

Yes.

I will help my brother

save my mother.

I know you are the best.

Let's go.

Let's catch rabbits together.

Go.

Xiaoxi.

How's it, Chi Qiubai?

Do you feel

very powerless?

Actually, saving her

is not entirely impossible.

What do you want?

I want you to give me

what I want.

You want me to betray justice

and betray my friends?

What qualifications do the Elders of the council

have to represent justice?

You still haven't thought it through,

Chi Qiubai.

Sometimes,

I think

you so-called righteous cultivators

are really interesting

and naive.

In my eyes,

whether it's the Demon Clan,

humans,

beasts

or the six Transcendent organizations,

they are all chasing

after their own self-interest

but have put on different facades.

Do you think our Demon Clan

only fights and kills

and that we don't know

what's right or wrong?

I'm telling you,

I understand

better than all of you.

You and I are

both tools for those in power.

Since we are tools,

how can they say we betray them?

Stop talking nonsense.

What do I have to do

to get Xiaoxi's energy core back?

I want you

to open the barrier on the day

of the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death.

What do you want to do?

You don't have to be so nervous.

I just want to make

the battle

more exciting.

You want those who've newly entered the Transcendent Realm?

Chi Qiubai,

I advise you not to think too much.

The more you know,

the more guilty you'll feel.

You just need

to simply be a guide

and lead us in.

The rest

doesn't need your involvement.

Even if it's revealed later,

you'll still be

the righteous Knight Changfeng,

just someone

with but a tiny oversight.

Isn't that good?

You and those Elders

just want to shirk responsibility

and then boast about morality and benevolence.

Otherwise,

how could Bu Xiaoxi

end up here?

Just do a simple task

and you'll exchange for Xiaoxi's energy core.

In this deal,

you'll definitely not lose out.

(Perhaps)

(this is an opportunity)

(to infiltrate the Demon Clan.)

Can you guarantee

not to hurt anyone?

Of course.

Uncle Tong San,

there're so many people in Yishui City.

It's way more than I ever imagined.

Probably half of the residents

of the city are here.

After all, a Transcendent Knight

is not someone

you can see at any time,

let alone so many Transcendent Knights.

Look.

Qingshi,

these are Transcendent Knights.

In the future,

you will become one of them.

I will.

Uncle Tong San.

Who are you?

I'm Cui Yong,

a senior disciple of Changfeng Academy.

Senior disciple of Changfeng Academy,

please spare me.

(This person)

(is my brother's senior.)

(He's really amazing.)

We are all cultivators.

You need

to focus on cultivation.

Stop wasting your time

with mindless violence.

Yes, yes.

I won't do it again.

I won't make things difficult for you.

But,

what are you gonna do

about the person you injured today?

I-I-I'll compensate.

I'll compensate him.

Good.

Senior Cui Yong,

I'm Situ Hong from Changfeng Academy.

During my time at the academy,

I often heard the teachers mention you.

Today,

I saw you being chivalrous.

I'm deeply impressed.

May I have the honor

of inviting you for a cup of tea?

Well...

There are so many things I'm struggling

to understand in my cultivation.

May I

get some guidance from you?

No problem.

Please.

Uncle Tong San,

let's go get something to eat.

I'm hungry as well.

Great, let's go.

Let's go.

Fame, no matter how great, ultimately dissipates

like a passing cloud in the course of time.

Sit, Uncle Tong San.

Today,

I'm going to tell you

about the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death.

For ages,

becoming Transcendent

has been even more difficult

than making it to the moon.

Only a once-in-a-blue-moon genius

with special abilities

can luckily break

through the realm

with special circumstances

and opportunities.

But,

there are always people who can change history

and create miracles.

What an exaggeration.

Ordinary people tend to see the Transcendent Trial

as having some shine or glow,

but they don't know

the path of cultivation

is full of thorns and hardships.

Isn't it?

Over the years,

how many people

have passed the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death?

I wasn't sure in the past years,

but this year,

Mr. Cui,

I'm sure you'll be

one of them.

You're flattering me.

I'm not.

In terms of cultivation, Dou Qi and character,

you are at the top.

You are too modest.

Although you just entered Changfeng Academy,

you are a talent, too.

All cultivators can participate

in the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death.

You might as well give it a try.

I feel flattered.

I'm a mediocre cultivator.

Even if I participate in the Transcendent Trial,

I'll just be there to pad the participants

and gain some experience.

Speaking of combat experience,

you're the one who should be mentioned.

Over the years,

I've caught a few demons

with our master

and I've accumulated a lot of experience.

So

I'm here

to ask you for advice

on how to hold on

in the Transcendent Trial.

No problem.

Simply put,

whoever passes

the Transcendent Battle of Life and Death

will become

the new generation of Transcendent Knights.

- Good. - Good.

- Good. - Good.

Interesting.

Sir, so...

who do you think

can pass the trial this year

and become Transcendent?

As the faces of men differ, so do their capacities.

Those who can participate in the trial

are all extraordinary.

In my opinion,

Cui Yong is the most likely to pass.

He is the right-hand man

of Knight Changfeng.

He must have learned a lot of techniques.

Otherwise,

how could he become the top on the Dragon and Tiger List

of Changfeng Academy?

- Yes. - Yes.

I'm backing Xueying.

Dongbo Xueying.

Dongbo Xueying?

Do you mean

the youngest transcendent trialist?

Yes, yes.

How could I forget him?

You're naive.

What does being young mean?

It means he has only practiced

for a short time

and hasn't gained enough in cultivation.

Compared with those

with longer cultivation time,

Dongbo Xueying

is far behind

in experience, level

and so on.

That's not true.

My brother...

Dongbo Xueying

came back alive

from the Black Wind Cliff.

Isn't that enough to prove

his strength is strong?

He will definitely become Transcendent.

Maybe he was just lucky

that time.

What other battle achievements

does he have

besides beating

Xiang Pangyun?

Compared to Cui Yong,

he's too far behind.

You can't say that about him!

Qingshi.

I'm telling you,

don't underestimate Dongbo Xueying.

We'll see.

Shi.

Shi.

Everyone,

calm down.

Let me continue.

Dongbo Xueying

is quite popular.

What a talent at such a tender age!

You might not know.

Dongbo Xueying

is all show

and no go.

I've seen more than once

the dean personally guiding his martial arts.

Teaching Xueying alone?

It's absolutely true.

I guess

his recent rise in Dou Qi

must be related

to it.
