The Great Ruler

[Previously]

[Previously] I...

[Previously] I admit defeat.

[Previously]

[Previously] My long whip won't take pity on girls.

[Previously]

[Previously] If we tie with each other,

[Previously] who can get the place?

[Previously]

[Previously] I can't just give up like this.

[Previously]

[Previously] I should do my best no matter what.

I'm gonna make you a loser first.

Stop.

Next, we're going to have a competition for the seeded place.

[Episode 17 Fighting for a Place]

All right.

The candidates fighting for the seeded place have been decided.

Mu Chen

and Liu Mubai will fight for the place.

After all,

they are the strongest

among the North Spiritual Academy's students

participating in the competition.

Finally, they are going to fight for the seeded place.

Yes.

It's really Mu and Liu Mubai who are going to compete for the place.

I believe Mu

will win the honor for the East Academy.

One is the young lord of Mu Realm,

and the other is the young lord of Liu Realm.

This is going to be interesting.

Even if it's not for the seeded place,

they have to fight hard

for the dignity of the two realms.

Let's just wait to enjoy the show.

This is the first time that we have a competition for a seeded place

in the North Spiritual Academy.

Since Liu Mubai just finished a battle,

for the sake of fairness,

let's take a 15-minute break.

After that,

the competition will start officially.

Father.

The competition for the seeded place

is not just a competition between you and Mu Chen.

It's also a competition between Liu Realm and Mu Realm.

This concerns the future of Liu Realm.

Make sure nothing will go wrong.

Don't worry.

I won't let the seeded place slip out from my hands.

And

Mu Chen is a latent threat after all.

Take this opportunity

to disable him.

Dad,

I didn't let you down, did I?

Not bad.

You will undoubtedly be admitted to the five great academies.

You just need to do your best in the competition for the seeded place.

Don't care too much about the result.

Dad,

don't you have faith in me?

Of course I have faith in you.

But that guy from Liu Realm is vicious.

You must be careful.

If anything unexpected happens,

remember to protect yourself.

You don't have to care

about temporary victory or failure.

Dad,

when we face a fierce beast,

if we back off, it will only make it fiercer.

Only by facing it

and being crueller than it,

can we make it afraid.

Time is up.

The competition for the seeded place

begins now.

This time,

I will completely defeat you

and let everyone know

back then, the Mirror of Judgment made a mistake

by choosing you into the Spiritual Land.

Be careful.

Mu, come on!

-Come on, Mu Chen! -Come on, Mu!

The seeded place belongs to the East Academy.

Just wait.

Mu Chen will avenge you soon.

Mu,

I heard

Liu Mubai has reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Ring Level

and practiced a lot of powerful spiritual arts of Liu Realm.

It's fine.

The spiritual arts Chen practiced

are nothing ordinary.

Finally, this day has come.

This day

is nothing good for you.

You're wrong.

To me, this day is a good day.

Because I can finally

disable you in public.

Really?

I hope after the competition ends,

you can still stand here to say those words.

This guy

has reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

You are just in the early stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

You've earned glory for Mu Realm

by having the guts to stand on the stage.

You talked too much.

The big show

is finally about to start.

So fast!

So powerful!

This is what a battle looks like.

Mubai underestimated him.

Chen

is quite agile in the battle.

The two of them

are indeed

the best students in the North Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen

is very talented,

and he can get down to practicing hard.

It's really rare.

Speaking of talent,

Mubai from the West Academy is also good.

The future belongs to these young people.

You're much tougher than I thought.

But nothing more.

The speed...

Interesting.

The Flame Step.

The Flame Step is a lower-level spiritual art of Liu Realm.

I didn't expect that Liu Mubai

has mastered it so well.

Die!

Here.

Mu Chen's technique is amazing,

but I'm afraid it's not easy for him

to get rid of Liu Mubai.

Chen has rich practical experience.

He should be able to find a way to turn the situation around.

You're daydreaming.

Mubai is just playing a cat-and-mouse game.

When he defeats your son,

you'll lose all your dignity.

Kid,

he's been chasing you around.

This is a little embarrassing.

Give him a surprise.

It's time to end this.

Even though you've learned some powerful spiritual arts,

they are nothing

in front of absolute strength.

Liu Mubai is indeed strong.

I can't fight with him like this anymore.

These are...

spiritual seals?

Why are there spiritual seals suddenly?

Does Mu Chen know how to set up a spiritual formation?

Spiritual seals?

Judging from the number,

Mu Chen is a Level 1 spiritual formation master.

Even though he's a Level 1 spiritual formation master,

he needs enough time to set up a formation calmly.

He's in battle now.

So what?

I'm not gonna wait for you to set up a formation.

That's it?

Then you can never set up a spiritual formation successfully.

No wonder you are so confident in Mu Chen.

It turns out that he's a Level 1 spiritual formation master.

But he can't set up a formation like this.

Mu Chen

has really hidden it well.

Unfortunately,

Liu Mubai won't give him a chance to release a spiritual formation.

Not necessarily.

This kid seems to be able to enter the state of the Heart Formation.

The state of the Heart Formation?

That's a mysterious state

even some Level 3 spiritual formation masters can't reach.

How could Mu Chen do it?

You can't escape.

I didn't expect

that he can form a formation like this.

Luckily,

I've been studying the state of the Heart Formation for the past month.

It's useful at this critical moment.

Mr. Wen Ling said the Tiger Flame Spirit Consuming Formation

is extremely powerful.

Even those in the late stage of the Spiritual Ring Level need to avoid it.

It should be enough

to deal with Liu Mubai.

I prepared a surprise for you. Take it!

Do you think

you can win like this?

The spiritual power is so strong.

You're not the only one

with a trump card.

This is...

the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

I didn't expect Liu Mubai to reach this level.

No one in the Spiritual Ring Level

is a match for him now.

Liu Mubai

has also hidden it well.

It seems

he has been well trained in Liu Realm in the past month.

That's how he made such a big breakthrough.

Now,

I'm gonna show you

how big the difference

between us is.

I'm not gonna give you any chance to struggle.

Isn't that one of Liu Realm's most powerful spiritual arts?

I didn't expect that Liu Mubai has practiced it too.

And it's so powerful.

This technique of Liu Mubai is so powerful.

Mu Chen.

Mubai is finally using his most powerful technique.

Mu Chen is doomed.

Considering his level, he definitely can't take it.

He's good enough

considering that he has fought with Mubai for so long.

That is...

Looks like

Chen has improved a little again

in terms of the Great Buddha Art?

You want to compete with me for the seeded place.

You're not qualified yet.

The Great Sea Burning Palm!

How vicious!

Liu Mubai wants to kill him.

The Great Buddha Art!

You are just in the early stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

You want to defeat me?

Do you think you are qualified?

How is that possible?

Their fight has come to this extent.

Next,

it's gonna be a matter of willpower.

I didn't expect Mu Chen to be so powerful.

Looks like I have to get rid of him.

Oh no.

I've used up my spiritual power.

Little bastard.

How dare you!

Liu Qingtian,

how dare you touch my son!

♫The rain is tapering off♫

♫It wets your wings♫

♫The scars are all over your body♫
