Grandpa.

So,

have you thought it through?

As long as you reach a certain realm,

even the simplest moves

can achieve the

greatest effect.

The widely circulated third-rate martial arts

happen to be the foundation of all profound martial arts.

That's why Martial Saint Zhantian said,

"After mastering all the third-rate martial arts in the world,

divine techniques manifest."

Right,

but unfortunately, many people cannot comprehend this.

Just based on this,

you can already be considered exceptionally gifted.

Really?

I knew it.

A young talent like me,

handsome, suave, and outstanding,

cannot be just...

But...

I knew there would be a "but"...

It's also good to learn some emperor-level techniques.

Grandpa?

Are you going to teach me

the Unmoving Bright Lord?

Well,

I originally thought

you were too young for this,

but since you're determined to roam the martial world,

I'll teach it to you.

After all,

even if you master a little bit of it,

it'll be enough for you to protect yourself.

Really?

Then, Grandpa, you must teach me!

Alright.

I'll stand here without moving.

Try to make me

take a step back.

Really?

Then

forgive me for this!

Try again!

Is this

Unmoving Bright Lord?

This is Unmoving Bright Lord.

What are you waiting for?

Are you learning or not?

Yes, of course I'll learn.

Father,

I understood when you taught Baitian basic skills,

but now, even Unmoving Bright Lord...

Although the power from the Essence Stone has disappeared,

those people outside

won't give up.

Since our seclusion in Changfeng Town

has been exposed,

it's better to fulfill Baitian's wish

and let him explore on his own.

Your son has always liked

to play the hero since childhood.

He needs self-defense skills.

But I'm not

at ease in my heart.

I've talked to an old friend.

I'll have him guide Baitian.

This might be his chance.

Baitian,

do you understand now?

Yes!

This time, I will surely succeed.

Huh? Why is it still not right?

Let me try again.

This time for sure.

A month later

Darn it,

I am already fast enough,

why is it still not working?

Perhaps

your approach is wrong.

What approach?

Sir, please enlighten me.

Didn't you see my memories?

Comprehend it for yourself.

Thousand Roaring Waves

Is this...

Thousand Roaring Waves?

Yes,

your comprehension is quite good.

So,

you didn't win with a single strike back then.

Instead, you used a continuous,

overwhelming force, wave after wave,

defeating the opponent.

You guessed it right.

Thank you for your guidance, sir.

Hey,

Baitian,

you are tired already?

It's too early to say that!

I've just started...

Watch this move!

Master all the third-rate martial arts

means learning the basic mysteries of martial arts,

comprehending them all

to achieve something great.

Circulate the internal force with Unmoving Bright Lord

to enhance the Thousand Roaring Waves

and compensate for its shortcomings.

First, keep yourself calm,

and then, with a continuous force, turn defeat into victory.

He figured out the essence of both techniques in just days

and integrated them to deal with enemies.

This kid has good insight.

Grandpa,

be careful with your old arms and legs.

I'm going to get serious now.

This is my self-created Nine-turn Technique.

This continuous and unbroken force,

could he have inherited the ancestral teachings?

Insignificant skill.

Grandpa,

I made you step back!

You brat,

We agreed on one step.

Just half a step,

you still have a long way to go!

However,

in such a short time,

being able to integrate two techniques

and create a new technique

proves that you have unlimited potential.

I have nothing more to teach you here.

What you need

is perhaps more experience.

So,

can I go out and gain more experience?

But, when you go out,

you need to go to a specific place

and meet someone.

Where?

Who do I need to meet?

Qingfeng State,

my old friend General Li.

The Clear Heart Technique he practices

is one of the rare methods that can control the demonic nature within you.

The matter of your demonization

must not be known to those from the Five Holy Lands.

Grandpa,

I'll be careful!

Then go,

go and cause trouble in the outside world...

How did things go?

My Lord,

Dugu Baitian has turned demon once.

It seems that the catalytic substance played its role.

Unfortunately, the power within the Essence Stone

seems to have been used to heal a few useless people.

So,

the demonization

may need further consideration.

It doesn't matter.

The seed has been planted.

Next, we'll see how well Miss Situ performs.

Keep an eye on her.

Yes, My Lord.

Mingyue! Wait for me!

Huh? What?

I'm too attractive for you to move?

Your hand touched mine,

so now you have to take responsibility...

What a fool.

This is for the lesson I just taught you.

Why does he look familiar?

Wanted

Reward: 10,000 tales of gold

My goodness,

I lost a watermelon for a sesame seed!

- Catch him! - There he is!

- Get him! - Stop!

- Come back! - You can't get away!

Stop!

I was just asking for directions.

Stop!

Are all you people from

outside the town this crazy?

Why are you all staring?

You criminal!

Today I, Jiang Lin of the Iron Blade Sect,

will uphold justice!

Brothers,

don't go easy on a evildoer like him!

Everyone, attack!

- Catch him! - Stop! Get him!

What's happening?

Seems like a murderer.

Ah, it's that ruthless fellow Don't run!

Ah, it's that ruthless fellow

who killed the young masters of the Luo and Liu families.

They are offering quite a reward for him.

Murderer.

- That's frightening. - I know!

Don't run!

Get him!

He's over there.

Quick!

Stop!

Baitian!

Baitian!

Baitian!

Aren't you the one who...

Shh...

Where did he go? Find him!

Although, miss, you are quite good-looking,

kidnapping innocent young men is not appropriate.

You're different,

you can be exchanged for a reward.

I can't let such a good opportunity pass.

What reward?

From the Liu and Luo families. Humph.

I thought the one who killed those two was some hero,

but it turns out to be a punk like you.

You are a punk!

So, it was those two. Humph.

They won't let go even in death.

Miss, listen to me.

If you turn me in, you'll only get a small reward.

But I've stolen quite a few treasures from those two families.

Please unfreeze me,

and I'll give you half of it.

Speak up,

where are the treasures hidden?

Well...

I knew you were lying.

If you want me not to hand you over,

be my subordinate for a few days,

consider it as paying off the debt.

When did I owe you a debt?

If I keep you here,

that's voluntarily giving up a reward.

Shouldn't you compensate me?

You look younger than me,

why should I be your subordinate?

Huh,

you are pretty proud.

Let's compete, then.

Look at your petite figure, I don't want to hurt you.

How about now?

Still afraid of hurting me?

If you can touch me,

you win.

Be careful.

Your martial arts skills

don't match your mouth.

How about it?

Convinced?

Not at all!

Let's go again!

Clumsy,

like a piece of wood.

Who are you calling clumsy?

You.

Your moves were too rigid,

your footwork didn't coordinate at all.

Even if you had another hundred years,

you wouldn't be able to touch me!

Rushing is the biggest taboo in martial arts.

Be quick but not chaotic, find order within chaos.

Your mind is too chaotic.

Thank you for the guidance.

I'm sorry for what I did just now.

You're not totally hopeless.

How are you going to thank me?

Will you agree to be my subordinate now?

I should thank you, that's true,

but

we just fought to a draw.

I still can't be your subordinate.

A draw?
