[Fighter of Destiny]

[Episode 13]

Your Holiness.

Yes.

Gou Hanshi of the Lishan academy is challenging the Guojiao Academy.

Guojiao Academy can't send anyone else.

I will!

Xuanyuan Po of the Guojiao Academy will fight.

He is wounded. He cannot fight.

Princess, I am able to fight.

You are already wounded. By forcing it,

you'll become a disabled person after.

Even if I becomed disabled, I'm not afraid.

Your Highness, I would like to compete with this person in a verbal contest.

Struggle by reasoning? Like what?

At his convenience. Whatever Xuanyuan is good at, painting, calligraphy, anything, I will accept.

What painting? What calligraphy?

Who wants this kind of contest with you? Don't have any wishful thinking, okay?

The verbal contest is to take pity on you! What? You think an idiot at the Astral Projection stage

can defeat my senior who is at the Erebus Insight stage?

You're the idiot! I'm telling you all. Don't even try to bully the Guojiao Academy!

If anyone dares, I'll take care of him!

Who is bullying the Guojiao Academy?

Master ! Master!

Master!

Master!

You finally came back?

Let me do the battle!

Gou Hanshi, how about it? Did you not want a verbal contest?

Good thing my teacher came; compete with him.

Okay. Verbal contest it is!

For your verbal contest, someone must demonstrate the move you are saying. Then, we'll know how it turns out.

I'll do it.

I'll do it!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Subbers of the Destiny @ Viki

Please show us!

Storm in Mountain Zhong awakens the dragon!

The swordplay of the Donglin Seven star, third move!

Her Highness uses the whip as a sword. She will win!

Don't worry! Changcheng is so crafty! There will be no problem.

What?

The swordplay of the Donglin Seven star? Ingenious!

This swordplay belongs to the Donglin Country Qingjiang school.

Embrace the rain, let it enter your mind!

Nine changes of Cangya!

The Lishan Academy, as expected, lives up to its reputation.

The amazing one is Qijian.

She understands all of the deceptive moves of Gou Hanshi.

- Mountain ghost splits the rock!\N- Nanyuan whiplash!

- Falling flower of the plane tree.\N- Snowstorm just ends.

Xuanzong swordplay! Dragon and snake strokes.

Is this the original swordplay of their clan?

Xuanzong swordplay is extravagant and majestic.

Guo Hanshi is playing rough.Chen Changsheng is not as experienced as him. Seems that he will lose.

Xueqing, Binghu, Yuxuan positions!

- Eleventh move of the Mount swordplay.\N- Retreat of Zhouzong.

- Commencement of Jinwu!\N- Counter Jinwu!

Third move of Liaotian!

Her highness is really impressive.

Anything mister says she understands.

Back then, when Zhou Dufu and the Emperor fought in Luoyang, the scene was just like that.

Principal, what makes you think so?

They were the most powerful mew, recognized by all the people.

That year, Zhou Dufu and Emperor Tai Zhong were at their best. Like how young these people are now.

Principal, you are over-praising these young people.

In our Zhou empire, we still have Qiushan Jun and Xu Yourong.

So many talented people are a blessing for our empire.

We heard earlier that Guo Hanshi of the Lishan Academy is very knowledgeable.

I never thought that Cheng Changsheng would be full of talent.

He's a mouthy show off; there's no real skill!

Sea of immortal waves of clouds! Smoke and wind along the road!

Sword treads mountains and rivers.

We admit defeat!

Shang Xingzhou's disciple proves that the younger generation will surpass us.

Yeshi's move! The beast clan can learn the human clan's cultivation method!

I didn't expect that Emperor Bai could be so powerful.

I would like to ask if the last moves are from the Guiyuan Taoist book?

They are from the seventeenth endnote in the third volume.

These moves are indeed recorded, but the sequence has never been clearly stated. I'm impressed.

The Xijing notes and Youyang annals have mentioned a Taoist spectator.

What really happened is the order of the Guiyuan Taoist book.

Brother Chen's memory is amazing. I admit I am not as good as you!

I'm sincerely convinced and ready to concede.

Guojiao Academy no longer has to accept these challenges.

As for the proposal from the Lishan Academy, well...

Marriage is the right only of the parents.

I will never recognize this mountain boy's engagement letter.

This is a matter between Miss Xu and I.

If she isn't willing, then I am willing to negate the engagement.

After all, it was her grandfather's wish.

We should respect her grandfather's wish.

But in order to resist the Demon Clan, the marriage of the Dragon and Phoenix is a huge blessing to our Human Clan.

He's right. My senior and sister Xu have been fighting together for years

to protect our clan against the demons. In the public eye, they are a perfect couple.

Ha! Your Human Clan wants to come together to resist the demons.

So Miss Xu must be married to Qiushan Jun?

So, for the so-called righteous cause, Miss Xu has to marry someone she doesn't want to?

Isn't the righteous cause the Saintess' mission?

Of course, it's not necessary!

She was promised to my teacher! Having her marry someone else? Can you please stay out of it?

Morever, talking about the righteous cause, I am the righteous cause!

My master was born with the righteous cause.

Also, using the righteous cause to threaten him?

Huh! Hysterical!

If resisting demons is the righteous cause,

then maintaining peace between humans and beasts is naturally the most important righteous cause.

My father, Bai Xingye; my mother,

Princess Royal of the West Continent;

my master, Chen Changsheng.

Please tell me, on which aspect is my teacher inferior to your Qiushan Jun?

I do not like other people using their powerful position to intimidate me, nor the other way around.

Whatever you say doesn't matter. We should look at Miss Xu's wishes.

Give up! Love is more solid than gold!

I think there was a lot of wishful thinking!

What did you say?

What attitude is that?

Thinking of killing Chen Changsheng here in front of everyone?

Yourong's paper crane?

"Between Yourong and Qiushan Jun, there's only friendship;

brother-sister feelings. I have no intention to marry him.

When I was young, my grandfather made an engagement for me.

The one with the engagement letter is the one I was promised to then."

It really is my master! Indeed handsome!

Refused the proposal in public!

Yourong's temperament...

really hasn't changed at all.

[Abyss Bridge]

In fact, the reason I admitted to the engagement in public is because I did not want to marry into the Lishan Academy.

I understand.

Sorry! I used our engagement to decline the other one.

As long as it was doing you a favor, that's pretty good.

Rest assure, I will definitely protect you.

I have already succeeded in purification.I can look after myself.

You have to worked hard!

Of course. You are always stronger than me.

I just reached a higher state than you.

Truthfully speaking, you are the strongest.

The marriage issue...

Didn't I already say? If you want to cancel our engagement, successfully change your destiny first.

Junior Sister, regarding the proposal Master brought up..

I didn't know anything about it.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let them do that.

Senior Qiushan, I don't have plans to marry anyone.

We grew up together, and we know each other the best.

My biggest wish in life is to reach the apex of the righteous cause.

Then Cheng Changsheng...

I understand that the elder's arrangements are difficult to push away.

So I could only use the engagement as an excuse to refuse their proposal.

I understand.

This is not necessarily a good solution.

But at the time, in that situation, it was the only choice I had.

The seed is ripe. The time has arrived.

It's really strange.

Why is it only when I want to be drunk,

that I can't get drunk.

Yourong greets Your Highness.

Disciple of Nanxi Academy, Xu Yourong, is here to accept punishment.

What crime have you committed?

At the Ivy Banquet, I acted against orders and refused Lishan Academy's proposal.

I disregarded Your Highness' goodwill and ruined the plan to unite Da Zhou.

Yourong is shameful of her actions.

You once told me that you would take care of it properly.

You meant to use Ivy Banquet to publicly refuse the proposal?

Your decision is to be with Cheng Changsheng?

Your Highness, please listen.

I only wanted to focus on my cultivation.

When the situation comes to an end, I will stop the engagement with Cheng Changsheng.

It's not bad that you have this plan in mind, but you have acted too recklessly.

How do you suppose Lishan Academy will recover from this embarrassment? Is Qiushan Jun not worthy?

Bringing Cheng Changsheng so much trouble and enemies,

have you ever thought about them?

I know I have acted too recklessly.

I'm willing to take one hundred soul-cleansing lashes.

Empress, by all means, no!

The soul cleansing lash is the most severe punishment.

The stronger the cultivation is, the more painful it will be.

Yourong is willing to take the punishment.

Please allow for it, Your Highness.

Humans will always feel pain.

Only pain will allow people to gain consciousness.

Do not fall in love during your cultivation, because I do not want you to have any weaknesses.

In a person's lifetime,

the debt of love is the hardest to repay.

Yourong understands.

It's up to you.

Yourong, if you really have feelings for Cheng Changsheng,

your cultivation will become a waste.

You should not in any way act on your emotions and fall in love with him.

Although the soul-cleansing whip lashes at the spiritual sense, you cannot avoid the physical marks.

It really hurts me to see you endure this kind of pain.

Hang in there. This purple perilla extract helps regulate energy and detoxify.

It's the best extract to moisturize and heal skin.

I will remind you to use it everyday.

Okay.

Hang in there.

Yourong...

Here, this cup is yours.

The Demon Seed has been planted. It won't be long until you are mine.

Greetings Your Highness.

These past couple of days weren't the easiest, right?

Thank you for asking.

Logically speaking, I should keep out of young people's love affairs.

I've seen Yourong grow up.

She didn’t mean to hurt you.

But she definitely has her own beliefs.

Look at you, still listening to her words.

Her character is too stubborn.

I will not force anything on her.

Also, she already said that the engagement is just an excuse.

Do you know the Phoenix can only get married to the Dragon?

Then what happened if the Phoenix doesn’t get married to the Dragon?

She will be in devastation.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I know now what should be my next step.

I hope that you will keep today's conversation a secret.

I understand.

I definitely won’t let Chen Changsheng ruin Yourong.

[Nuts and Cherries]

How do you think Xu Yourong thinks?

Declined Qiushan Jun’s proposal by using my teacher’s engagement.

Won't that just give my teacher more enemies?

Your teacher succeeded in purification!

So I think I helped him!

This time I should order more people to protect him.

These days, I'll let Uncle Jin take the lead.

What did you just say?

Master succeeded in purification?

Yup!

I will bring you more nuts and cheeries!

Eat more and you'll get smarter!

So you can help us more!

Don’t worry. Nobody dares to bully you with me by your side.

I will protect you all!

When will the Tianji Pavilion announce the standings?

Teacher, relax. This time your name will be listed.

I've cleaned the slate for a whole night. It's really clean!

Later on when your names are on there, your names will be especially bright!

One hundred and forty eighth on the Qingyun standings

Guojiao Academy, Xuanyuan Po.

That's me; it's me!

Xuanyuan, you didn't do anything. How can you be on the standings? What's the reason?

I don't know!

Not bad!

That's my disciple. I'm proud of you! Pretty good!

The astronomy master should give a commentary. Let see what he says!

Full of energy, great strength, self-healing ability.

If he can seek the secret method, it will be very promising and exceptionally lucky.

Met a wise teacher in the Sacred Capital! So is at the bottom of the list!

Makes a lot of sense!

Your Teacher is Luoluo. Your Teacher’s Teacher...

Sir.

Congratulations Xuan Yuan.

One hundred and thirty-nine on the Qingyun Standings is Zhaixing Academy, Qi Ping.

Fantastic... Congratulations!

Ninety eight on the Qingyun standings is Saintess Peak, Wen Yunfei.

- Fantastic. \N- Congratulations.

Don't be nervous. Although it's the Qingyun standings, it's meaningless to overvalue a temporary ranking.

I'm nervous at such a small occasion? What a joke!

Your hand is shaking.

Who said I'm shaking? Be quiet or I will hit you!

Thirty-two on the Qingyun Proclamation from Guojiao Academy, Tang Tang.

Not bad.

Thirty-Six has moved up four ranks.

Congratulations.

From now on, we shall call you Tang Thirty-Two.

Thirty-Two doesn't sound pleasant. Call me Thirty-Six like before.

Otherwise, I will have to change my name every time I improve. Tang One? Tang Two? They sound really bad.

Eleventh on the Qingyun standings is the Sacred Capital Tiandao Academy, Zhuang Huanyu!

Great! Impressive!

Excellent. Awesome!

Son, why aren't you happy?

Really not a bad ranking?

Yes. You did well. Keep it up!

Yes.

Tenth on the Qingyun standings is Lishan Academy, Qijian!

Great!

- Good! \N - Great!

Ninth on the Qingyun standings is Qingyao Academy, Zhong Hui.

This is great!

Teacher.

What rank do you hope I will be placed?

The rank is not important. You have improved since staying at Guojiao Academy.

I just hope the people at Celestial Academy could see that.

I don't care whether they know that or not.

It's good enough that Teacher is aware of it.

Forth on the Qingyun standings is Saintess Peak, Lianmui.

Can it be third?

Third on the Qingyun standings is Lishan Academy, Guan Feibai.

Great! Senior, tonight's dinner is on you!

Second on the Qingyun Proclamation from Guojiao Academy, Bai Luo Heng.

- Second place! Princess, you are second place! \N- You are second place!

Congratulations.

With strong blood, she's broken through cultivation barriers. The future is boundless.

Thank you, Teacher. Thank you for helping me solve my meridian problems;

or else, how would I have today's progress.

You can make it. You have turned Sacred Capital upside down since you came here.

First place in the Qingyun Academy is Nanxi Academy, Xu Yourong.

Cultivation method merges with her blood perfectly.Given more time, she reached the culmination of the righteous cause.

How come my teacher isn't there?! This isn't fair!

Don't worry.

After the Grand Examination, he will surely be included in the Qingyun standings.

You have to know that our Changsheng will get first place.

Xuan Yuan, don't let him talk nonsense.

- Take him away. \N - I didn't talk nonsense.

I really didn't talk nonsense! What do you want to do?

Put me down! What are you doing?

You're not going to care about him? Put me down!

Let me tell you that you still have to call me, "Thirty-Six" you're not allowed to call me, "Thirty-Two" I don't like this number.

Do you remember Xuan Yuan 184?

Don't you know that if you casually touch a bear's ears, then you won't be able to get a wife?

I'll go get the medicine first.

Isn't this Tang Thirty-Two?

Ms. Mo?

Let me also tell you that you can't call me that.

I'm still Thirty-Six.

Isn't it just a couple of numbers? 32? 36? What's the difference?

Hey, hey! How is there not a difference?

Six is greater than two by four.

That's true.

Then in the middle there's still missing a Tang Thirty-Three, Thirty-Four, Thirty-Five.

What a pity! Three geniuses still-born!

Hey, you're not allowed to use my name as a joke.

Oh. So you still prefer to be called Tang Thirty-Six?

Of course.

All right. Tang Thirty-Six, we’ll meet again in the Grand Examination.

Oh, right. Give my greetings to Tang Thirty-Seven.

Customer, your medicine.

Here it is!

- Hey! You're paying? \N- Young Master.

Keep it.

Charge it to my account.

Young Master, the family has given orders. As long as you come to buy something, you must pay.

What are you saying? How is that possible?

Let me pay for the medicine first!

- Young Master, there's also the previous charges to your account.\N- Travel safely.

The family says to either return them

or pay.

Is it because your father is angry that you left Tiandao Academy and joined Guojiao Academy?

Go about your shopping while I'll go back to my home.

Everything you have to buy today is on me.

Young master!

Have a good day!

- Father. \N - Kneel down!

I told you to kneel down!

I sent you to the Tiandao Academy. It's okay if you don't study well.

How dare you drop out at the Ivy Banquet?

Is Tiandao Academy a place where to can come and leave whenever you want?

I am dropping out. Tiandao Academy, these days, is really boring!

Shut up!

I sent you to Tiandao Academy to play?

With this attitude, how can the Tang family place any hopes on you?

I've already pleaded for mercy. Tiandao Academy is willing to forgive you. You can go back!

I won't go back. I want to drop out.

What?!

You want to drop out?

Then what about the Grand Examination?

The students of Guojiao Academy also have the qualifications to participate in the Grand Examination!

I believe I will accomplish something.

All right, all right.

Since you have made such a decision, our Tang family, from this moment, will not give you a single cent!

You want to make some accomplishment, I think you're just going to cause me big trouble.

Father, just wait and see.

When I came today, I felt like I would see you.

How are you doing recently?

You are here to collect medical herbs? Which ones are you collecting?

As long as it can help save people's lives, I'll pick them.

I have recently been researching new medicine.

How are you doing recently?

There's good and bad.

The good thing is that our academy won against some other academies at the Grand Examination.

I also cured the illness of one of my friends.

It looks like you're a very talented doctor.

Then, what about bad?

It's bad that I can't cure my own illness.

It's possible... that I will die very soon.

Oh, I apologize! I shouldn't say these things to you,

but I don't know why I want to talk about my inner thoughts whenever I see you.

You are saying you...

Yes. I'm close to dying.

My blood has some problem.

If I cannot cure it, then I won't live past 20 years.

Then, I will continue to collect medical herbs.

I won't bother you anymore.

I hope you will find a way.

Did you go to picked herbs in Herbs Garden again?

Yes.

Some herbs are still missing though.

Oh, right! We can go check the underground market.

That place has many interesting things!

- Underground market? \N- Yes.

Chen Changsheng! He really helped Bai Luoheng solve her meridians problems.

That brat! He improved Bai Luoheng's meridians and that bearman so well.

Logically that could not be possible.

With a vague origin, he is destroying our plans again! We cannot ignore it!

Then kill him!

Get rid of this trouble before it becomes more powerful.

He is good at setting formations. He also has master-hands with him, Bai Luoheng and Tang Thirty-Six.

I'm afraid killing him won't be so easy.

I will gather more experts in our clan.

No need.

Sometimes, you don't need to kill someone yourself.

Junior Sister!

You haven’t fully recovered, where are you heading to?

I'm fine now.

I've made Chen Changsheng gain many enemies. I’m afraid he’s in danger.

I shall protect him.

- But Junior Sister... \N- Senior Brother, don't try to stop me. Letting Yourong get rid of some of his guilt makes me feel better, too.

This is the underground market?

Thirty-Six, are we at the wrong place? There's no one around.

You guys, can you be quiet? You're so inexperienced.

Watch me.

What... What is this? I'm not here for fortune-telling.

Don't speak if you don't understand. Just stay still.

Stay still?

How was it?

Come, follow me.

This place is the underground market. As long as you pay the doorkeeper, you can come and buy stuff here.

And sell your stuff.

So mysterious.

Why are they wearing a mask?

Because buyers and sellers want to be anonymous.

After all, some of these treasures might get them killed.

So that's the case.

Put it on.

Master, look! This one's great.

You've got great taste. This is a treasure plucked from the Eight Secluded Seas.

After you bring it home, drop your blood on it so it will recognize its master, and you can hatch a rare flying fish.

It can help you look after the house.

- How much? \N- Fifty-two.

Hold on.

What do you mean, fifty-two? The rare flying fish only lives for forty-nine days after it's hatched.

Why it’s so expensive? We can have a ten times better deal in Zhuanzhuan.

We'll give you thirty-two at most.

- Okay, fine. \N- Here.

If you keep spending money like this, they'll think you have more money than sense. Give it.

- Lord Tang, since when did you start to barter? \N- Hurry, let's go.

I have to set up a booth and will see if anyone wants to buy my precious.

Changsheng, give me the bag.

Let's part here. I'll find you guys later.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Let's go.

Come take a look! There are many rare treasures!

Come take a look! Come take a look! There are many rare treasures!

Here, take a look.

Master, it seems that Tang Thirty-Six's family really isn't giving him any more money.

- Should we help him? \N- No need.

He has his honor.

- What do you like? \N- Let's go over there.

Look at these, all valuable things.

Come take a look! There are many rare treasures!

- Look at your leisure. \N- I'll look at this one.

This bit of Cloud Silk Grass can elevate your celestial wisdom, and will be useful for your future cultivation.

Thank you, Teacher.

How much is this paper crane?

You just bought the Cloud Silk Grass, so I'll give you this Crane Seeking Wind for free.

It's nothing special, it can only fly 100,000 li (approx. 31,068 miles.) It can only fly a little farther than normal paper cranes, that's all.

Thank you.

Carry this.

- How much is this hairpin? \N- Fifty-two silver.

This hair clip can transform into thirteen different shapes.

Here.

Take care.

Let's leave.

Why are you here?

Let's part here.

This is for you.

I just saw it, and thought of when we were little.

Thank you.

Recently, Demon assassins have not stopped targeting Master's two experts.

Some have already been affected. You must be careful.

Thank you for reminding me. I will be careful.

It tilted.

Thank you.

I'm going first.

Mister! Mister.

Mister, he's looking for you.

What are you doing here?

Tiandao Academy's Huo Guang wants to challenge Chen Changsheng of the Guojiao Academy.

Go back and practice your Kung Fu! Don't create trouble like some other people.

Sorry, I'm not interested in your challenge.

Is Guojiao Academy looking down on me?

Let me tell you. If you want to challenge Mister, you have to pass through me first.

Get lost.

The man I want to challenge is Chen Changsheng. It's none of you both's business.

You're no match for Changsheng! You's better go back to your Tiandao Academy.

Gou Hanshi allowed him. I will not!

So, you came to bargain?

Changsheng is not on the Qingyun standings, so you think you can bully him!

Brother Huo, if you want to challenge me, maybe we can compete in the Grand Examination.

In this case, I will defeat you fair and square in the Grand Examination.

Goodbye.

Don't hurry! That way is out!

He was a show-off at the Ivy Banquet, now will just cause a stream of troubles.

Don't worry, we will protect you.

What's going on?

What happened?

Senior, I have been practicing the substances, but there's no achievement.
