00:00:00Adam... Adam! If something happens to you... How could I go on living, Adam?
00:00:21A star has shifted. That's unusual. This is a sign of your incarnation of a Sword Master.
00:00:36I am about to begin my third life, pursuing a higher sword path.
00:00:42During my absence, all matters in the Celestial Sect shall be overseen by Deity Bruce Holt.
00:00:48Understood, Master!
00:00:58Farewell, Master!
00:01:08Adam... Adam, you're finally awake! That's great!
00:01:13Who are you?
00:01:15My... my voice...
00:01:20I... I've been reborn into the body of a child!
00:01:24I am your mother! What happened, Adam? Don't scare me!
00:01:28Mother?
00:01:29Madam, Adam's life can only be saved by the sect's panacea, the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:01:35But you're a concubine. I'm afraid his lordship won't agree.
00:01:39Don't worry. Tomorrow I enter the sect's trial. His lordship once said those who pass the trial can obtain the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:01:48But her ladyship has also been eyeing it. It won't be easy.
00:01:54For my child, even if it means death, I will fight for it!
00:02:10Yeah!
00:02:14My poor sword...
00:02:16Adam, I'm going to speak to your father. Stay here and don't wander off.
00:02:23The deeper the mark one's sword left on the trial stone, the stronger the swordman's skill.
00:02:28In a hundred years, only two swordsmen have left their marks.
00:02:32One is the top-ranked sword deity on the Celestial List.
00:02:35And the other, Luna Howard, the young prodigy of the Howard Sword Sect.
00:02:44Is this hard?
00:02:46My lord, among all the young swordsmen, our Luna always stands out in the crowd.
00:03:06Even Master Holt said she could make it to the top ten of the Celestial List.
00:03:12Indeed! At such a young age, she's already recognized by the Sword Deity.
00:03:17This is a great honor not only for our sect, but also the entire Eastern Realm.
00:03:24The future of Howard's sect will depend on you and your brother.
00:03:30I will do my utmost to elevate the sect.
00:03:32Good!
00:03:36Look! The trial stone was split open!
00:03:42What?
00:03:53Wait!
00:03:59The aura!
00:04:03It was so strong! Someone split the trial stone with a single strike!
00:04:09Even the Sword Deity, who ranks the first on the Celestial List,
00:04:13could only leave a ten-inch mark on the stone using his full strength.
00:04:17This person cut the stone in half with a single strike.
00:04:20If such a person were to reveal themselves, I'm afraid the Celestial List would have to be rewritten.
00:04:30Go! Mobilize the entire sect! We must find this Sword Master!
00:04:35If he's willing to guide our sect, we could rise to greatness overnight!
00:04:39Yes!
00:04:44Are you looking for me?
00:04:46Adam!
00:04:47Isn't that the useless weakling born of a concubine?
00:04:51You're already a disgrace, and now you pretend to be the master who split the stone?
00:04:57We are holding the sect's trial today. What did you bring him here for? Such an eyesore.
00:05:01My lord, you said whoever passes the trial has a chance to get the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:05:06Adam's illness can only be cured by the orchid. I am willing to give it a try for my son.
00:05:11The Nine-Leaf Orchid is a rare herb that boosts inner strength.
00:05:14Only elite members like me and my sister are worthy of it. With it, we can strengthen our sect.
00:05:20Him? A lowborn child of a concubine? He's not worthy of it at all!
00:05:26The sect's resources won't be wasted on someone with no talents and no potential at all.
00:05:31Even if he's my own flesh and blood!
00:05:36My lord, please. My lord, I'm begging you. Please save Adam.
00:05:42In this life and the next, I would be willing to serve you forever. I beg you, my lord.
00:05:49Please, please save him. Please save our son. I'm begging you.
00:05:58My lord, my lord, please. I beg you. Please save Adam.
00:06:03Father!
00:06:05Stand up.
00:06:09Kneeling is of no use to these people.
00:06:13Little punk. Your mother was begging us to save you. How about this?
00:06:18You and your mother can both get on your knees. Perhaps I'll consider giving you a tiny little bit of the orchid.
00:06:25So you're holding a trial? Fine. Count me in.
00:06:32Did I hear that right? You? A sickly little brat who can't even wield a sword? You think you stand a chance?
00:06:39Adam.
00:06:41Trust me.
00:06:46Have you found the one who cut the trial stone in two?
00:06:51A century ago, the sword saint traveled here and set up two formations.
00:06:57For today's trial, challengers have to solve the puzzle and break the formations to pass the trial.
00:07:04Pass the trial!
00:07:05Blake, you must get the Nine-Leaf Orchid. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands.
00:07:11Don't worry. Father, I'll go first.
00:07:15All right.
00:07:18Little punk. Keep away from your low-born mother. You two are such an eyesore.
00:07:34Today, nothing will stop me!
00:08:04Well done! Good job, son!
00:08:20It seems Luna isn't the only prodigy among her generation. Her younger brother Blake is also not to be underestimated.
00:08:26The first sword formation shouldn't be too hard for Blake.
00:08:28The real challenge is the second one. Even the sword deity tried seven times before he passed when he was young.
00:08:33I wonder if he will success this time.
00:08:35These two sword formations are among the easiest ones I created back then.
00:08:40After all these years, they still think they are challenging.
00:08:54Wow!
00:08:55Wow!
00:08:56Behold! The Five-Fold Sword Formation!
00:09:04He has located it! He's about to break through!
00:09:09Him? He'll need at least ten more moves.
00:09:34Nine-Fold Solitary Sword, first move!
00:09:55Good! He broke the formation using just eleven moves! Truly remarkable at his age!
00:10:01How did he foresee it? What he said turned out to be true!
00:10:05If Blake is already this powerful, then just how terrifying must his sister be?
00:10:09Father.
00:10:12Little punk, it's your turn.
00:10:21He who laughs last, laughs best. From now on, leave everything to me.
00:10:28Madison, are you really going to let that weakling of yours fight? He'd very likely get killed.
00:10:35Of course I won't let him fight. I will be the one taking the trial.
00:10:39Huh?
00:10:40Madison, I know your sword skills are better than anyone. This is not a game.
00:10:45And with your pathetic skills, you don't stand a chance.
00:10:49If you step up there, you'll only disgrace our family.
00:10:53I refuse to save Adam.
00:10:55Fine. I need the Nine-Leaf Orchid. Even if it costs me my life, I will get it for my son.
00:11:02Stubborn woman.
00:11:04Madison has been busy taking care of her son. She's long neglected her sword practice.
00:11:08Now she wants to break a formation this powerful? That's next to impossible.
00:11:12Even if you die on that stage today, it won't save your son's life.
00:11:18Hold on. Madison, how about you let me go first?
00:11:23Unless we'll get to see Luna in action, I'd better watch closely and learn everything I can.
00:11:28My girl, show them the difference between a genius and a waste of space.
00:11:35Madison, please watch my moves closely.
00:11:38Okay.
00:11:50The Threefold Sword Formation blurs illusions and reality. Its attacks are formless.
00:11:54The wind is silent, breath still as water, lightning fast, leaving no traces.
00:11:59The second move of the Lotus Technique will do.
00:12:09Great! You see?
00:12:15Although Lotus Technique is the most basic sword skill, it's also the most effective.
00:12:19She's so young, but she knows strength and simplicity often coexist.
00:12:23Why isn't Luna using her signature move, the Nine-Fold Solitary Sword Technique?
00:12:26Why choose the most basic Lotus Technique to break the formation?
00:12:29Oh, I see now. Madison hasn't practiced for years.
00:12:32She probably only remembers the most basic Lotus Technique.
00:12:35She's teaching Madison how to break the formation!
00:12:48Fivefold Sword Formation is seamless and ever-changing.
00:12:51Unless the challenger dies or is captured, it will never end on its own.
00:12:56This place starts from here.
00:12:58When the first sword rains down, try to dodge. Save your strength.
00:13:05Luna! Use your Nine-Fold Solitary Sword Technique! Don't worry about them!
00:13:36Huh?
00:13:43Oh, great!
00:13:45That's my girl!
00:13:46Two moves! She broke through the Sword Saint's formation in just two moves!
00:13:50So this is the strength of our sect's heiress.
00:13:53Good! Very well done!
00:13:55Even the sword deity was no better than her at her age!
00:13:58She's truly the pride of our sect! Good!
00:14:02Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna!
00:14:06This Luna does have some talent.
00:14:09With some guidance, she might one day become a true master.
00:14:13Luna, you did great!
00:14:19Madison, good luck!
00:14:23Hmph! Even if you told her exactly how to break the formation,
00:14:27she still couldn't do it with her current strength.
00:14:30The Nine-Leaf Orchid can only belong to my daughter.
00:14:37How about you let me do it?
00:14:40Got it. I can handle it.
00:14:52The Three-Fold Sword Formation blurs illusion and reality.
00:14:55Its attacks are formless.
00:15:01She... how could she...
00:15:21That's not bad at all.
00:15:23What a shame. Her son was born in poor health and can't practice swords.
00:15:27This is all your fault.
00:15:29Don't worry.
00:15:30This is all your sister's doing. She had to help her.
00:15:33Don't worry.
00:15:35A basic sword technique like the Azure Technique won't break the Five-Fold Sword Formation.
00:15:48This place starts from here.
00:15:50When the first sword rains down, try to dodge. Save your strength.
00:16:00Oh no, the sword rain is too fast. I can't get through it.
00:16:05Don't get carried away.
00:16:07Just because you broke a simple formation using a few tricks my sister taught you,
00:16:11the Five-Fold Sword Formation is beyond you.
00:16:14The Five-Fold Sword Formation can't be broken with a basic technique like the Lotus Technique.
00:16:19Madison probably won't make it into the next round.
00:16:22Even with Luna's instructions on how to break the formation,
00:16:25my current strength is still not enough.
00:16:27Looks like I'll have to risk everything.
00:16:29There is no basic sword technique.
00:16:31What matters is who wields the sword.
00:16:33Just use the Azure Technique. Throw the sword toward the sky.
00:16:36That one move will do.
00:16:44Throw the sword toward the sky? What nonsense is that?
00:16:48Adam, are you trying to get your mother killed?
00:16:52So he's really an idiot.
00:16:54Even the Sword Diddy, who ranks the first on the Celestial list,
00:16:57wouldn't dare claim he could break this formation with a single move.
00:17:00Alas, that person is the very Sword Saint who created the Five-Sword Formation himself.
00:17:05Adam, you are not in a position to speak here. Back off!
00:17:09Throw the sword toward the sky? Why didn't I think of that?
00:17:13That method might actually break the formation with one move.
00:17:18Listen to me, just go for it.
00:17:21You wouldn't get hurt, I promise.
00:17:24There's no other way.
00:17:25I'll just try to hold on a little longer.
00:17:30It's coming.
00:17:31Do it now!
00:17:34Use the Lotus Technique. Throw your sword toward the sky.
00:17:38There's no time left.
00:17:39Whatever.
00:17:47She's actually used that.
00:17:49Lotus Technique, first move.
00:17:55Lotus Technique, second move.
00:18:13What the hell?
00:18:15How is this even possible?
00:18:17She broke the formation with just one move.
00:18:19Even a genius like Luna had to use two moves.
00:18:21Madison, she... she's unparalleled!
00:18:24Adam, I made it! I made... I made it! Adam!
00:18:29That little brat does have some good luck.
00:18:34Breaking a formation requires talent and practice.
00:18:37If Adam was able to teach Madison to break the formation in a single move,
00:18:41there's no way it was just luck.
00:18:43Mother, are we really going to hand over the Orchid to these two?
00:18:48Calm down.
00:18:49His lordship would never agree to waste the sect's resources on a lowborn wretch like Adam.
00:18:57My lord, can I have the Nightly Sparrow Orchid to save Adam now?
00:19:02No, you can't.
00:19:04You think you could have passed the trial without Luna's guidance?
00:19:09Did you do it on your own?
00:19:12What you said...
00:19:13Shut up!
00:19:15Swordmanship isn't only about breaking a formation or two.
00:19:18Besides, your success just now was simply a stroke of luck.
00:19:22If I hand the Nine-Leaf Orchid over to you, wouldn't it be fair?
00:19:29This old man doesn't care about Adam from the beginning.
00:19:32Who knows how much suffering this mother and son have endured
00:19:35in this sect that exploits people ruthlessly.
00:19:39Huh?
00:19:43Madison, do you think we're bullying you?
00:19:46How about this? Let's fight fair and square.
00:19:49If you can break my Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique,
00:19:53I might consider giving you the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:19:57That way, no one will disagree. Am I right?
00:20:04Fine! I'll do it!
00:20:08Let's go.
00:20:14Madison, once you step on this stage, you'll die there.
00:20:29How about you let me fight?
00:20:32Adam, I will definitely cure your illness.
00:20:36All I want is for you to grow up in good health and be safe.
00:20:41As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
00:20:55Madison, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being ruthless.
00:21:06Watch out!
00:21:12Watch out!
00:21:18Nine-Fold Solitary Sword is an advanced sword technique created by the Sword Saint.
00:21:22The opponent stands no chance to win unless they're a whole lot stronger.
00:21:26Ah!
00:21:34That's all you can do? No wonder you raised such a useless son.
00:21:40Father, the duel is over. Please send for the doctor to treat Madison.
00:21:47I'm fine. I can still fight.
00:21:52You're still not willing to admit defeat?
00:21:55Or do you truly believe you stand a chance against the Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique?
00:22:12For shame!
00:22:14Blake, that's enough!
00:22:15Enough!
00:22:20Madison, according to the rules, falling off the stage means your son will never get his life-saving herb.
00:22:42You are doomed!
00:22:46Bullying a woman? What kind of man are you?
00:22:54Fight me instead!
00:22:56Whoa! An old wretch came to throw away her life. Now a little brat joins the party?
00:23:02You're all smug just because you learned the first move?
00:23:05But with talent like yours, you'll probably only manage to learn the first move.
00:23:11You little brat!
00:23:16All right.
00:23:18Since you insist on showing off on stage, fine then.
00:23:25But remember, you only get one chance, or my Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique will claim your life!
00:23:32Watch closely. I'll only show you once.
00:23:36This is how the technique is meant to be used!
00:23:40Little runt, coming on stage with a broken tree branch? What is this, playtime?
00:23:49What a joke!
00:23:51A little punk who's never even trained with a real sword, acting all mystical after copying just the opening stance?
00:23:57You really think you've mastered the technique?
00:23:59Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique isn't just nine forms.
00:24:02Only when all nine are connected, fused into one, does it become...
00:24:05Only when all nine are connected, fused into one, does it become...
00:24:09The true Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique!
00:24:17Fuse!
00:24:22The aura! Is the sword's state making a move?
00:24:28What fusion into one nonsense?
00:24:31Still want to fight? Then I'll kill you!
00:24:35Nine-Fold Solitary Sword!
00:24:38First move!
00:24:41Careful, Adam!
00:24:46Wait!
00:24:59What the hell?
00:25:02What the hell's going on?
00:25:05What?
00:25:06Adam, calm down!
00:25:09Mr. Howard...
00:25:11Long time no see.
00:25:14Harrison...
00:25:16So you were the one behind this!
00:25:18How dare you attack my son!
00:25:20Who is he?
00:25:22He's Harrison Thompson.
00:25:24Head of the second-largest sect in the Eastern Realm.
00:25:26For years, he's been trying to take our place.
00:25:28If I really wanted to kill him, he would have already been a goner.
00:25:31Drop your groundless accusation!
00:25:32Groundless?
00:25:34Are you saying it was the doing of that stupid kid?
00:25:36Say it!
00:25:38What do you want?
00:25:40I'm here to challenge you to a life-and-death duel.
00:25:44The loser will lose the title of the number one sect of the Eastern Realm.
00:25:48And disband their sect.
00:25:54And hand over their properties to the triumphant part.
00:25:58Father, our sect has a history of more than a century.
00:26:00We can't gamble with it.
00:26:02That's right, my lord.
00:26:04He clearly has something up his sleeve.
00:26:06We mustn't accept the challenge.
00:26:08Turns out the Howard family are a bunch of useless cowards.
00:26:12Hiding behind their family name like dogs!
00:26:23The aura.
00:26:25Pretty impressive.
00:26:30Blake, no!
00:26:32He's not as simple.
00:26:34You've got sharp eyes.
00:26:36You recognize the strength of Norman.
00:26:38Norman?
00:26:40Are we talking about the black horse swordsman?
00:26:42Who got enrolled in the Celestialists and stormed straight to number 26 with ease?
00:26:48I don't care about that black horse crap!
00:26:50If you see trouble with us, you'll pay the price!
00:26:54He's yours.
00:27:01If this is the best swordsman of your family,
00:27:04then he'll only embarrass you.
00:27:06Go home and train a little harder.
00:27:08Don't you dare insult my family!
00:27:14Don't get carried away.
00:27:16If my son takes this seriously, that guy won't stand a chance.
00:27:18No.
00:27:20Daniel's sword has become one.
00:27:22Blake is not his match.
00:27:24You think you know what becoming one with a sword means?
00:27:27Exactly.
00:27:28Can't you see he's barely holding up?
00:27:30Little rat.
00:27:32You'd better shut your mouth.
00:27:48He and his sword has become one?
00:27:53Blake!
00:27:55Master!
00:27:56Master!
00:28:01Here, stand up.
00:28:03Are you okay?
00:28:08Adam, how did you figure that out?
00:28:11As a swordsman, judging the opponent's strength is a basic skill.
00:28:16Adam...
00:28:18Seriously?
00:28:20And you call yourself the number one?
00:28:22For shame!
00:28:23Mr. Howard,
00:28:25if you're too scared to accept the challenge,
00:28:28then get on your knees and admit that our sect is really number one.
00:28:33I'll give you ten days to consider.
00:28:39The Gaul.
00:28:41You think you can trample on us?
00:28:43I accept this duel.
00:28:46Father!
00:28:48Since you have agreed to it,
00:28:50then we will settle this on the stage.
00:28:53I'll go first.
00:28:55No, Blake!
00:28:57You're no match for them.
00:28:59I underestimated him just now.
00:29:01And if I don't go,
00:29:03are you expecting them or that little runt to step up?
00:29:08I'll fight.
00:29:14Luna,
00:29:16this duel concerns the honor and pride of our sect.
00:29:20You must give it your all.
00:29:21After all,
00:29:23there's no one else we can count on.
00:29:25You are our only hope.
00:29:27Enough talking.
00:29:29Whoever comes will meet the same fate.
00:29:35I'm Luna.
00:29:37Let's fight!
00:29:39So what if he ranks 26th on the list?
00:29:42My sister is right behind you.
00:29:44No.
00:29:46On the list, even one place ahead
00:29:48indicates a strength difference of a thousand-fold bigger
00:29:49This duel won't be easy.
00:30:00There's still a chance.
00:30:02No chance at all.
00:30:04You useless brat.
00:30:06You know nothing. Just shut up.
00:30:08Can't you see they're evenly matched?
00:30:10Watch closely.
00:30:20How did you do that?
00:30:22Norman defeated countless top-ranked Swordsmasters
00:30:26using his Shadow Clone Formation.
00:30:29It's one of the seven most powerful sword techniques.
00:30:49What?
00:31:07What do we do now?
00:31:09They say one can break it with a solitary sword technique.
00:31:12But only the Sword Saint,
00:31:14who fully understands the essence, knows how to.
00:31:17What do we do then?
00:31:19There's no place to ask someone of that level for help.
00:31:22Mr. Howard,
00:31:24your daughter has limited potential just like you do.
00:31:28She'll never amount to anything.
00:31:30Your useless son is another example of your incompetence.
00:31:34He was just never meant to win.
00:31:40I can't see a way out.
00:31:42Every technique has its weak point.
00:31:44Just like the Fivefold Sword Formation.
00:31:46Shut your mouth.
00:31:48Don't distract her while she's fighting.
00:32:05Could it be?
00:32:17Yeah, she's good.
00:32:19Awesome.
00:32:20Well done.
00:32:23Useless.
00:32:25You're a fast thinker.
00:32:27Even those among the top 20 on the list
00:32:29can't break my formation with one move.
00:32:32How did you do that?
00:32:34Adam, he can see through everyone's weakness.
00:32:38Just piss off, you loser.
00:32:40Still asking questions?
00:32:42You're not worthy.
00:32:43What's the use of flamboyant moves?
00:32:45Style over substance.
00:32:47I suggest you come back after training a few more years.
00:32:50Exactly.
00:32:52If that little brat hadn't distracted her,
00:32:54Luna would have won long ago.
00:32:56Master Murphy,
00:32:58we'll have to ask you to step in now.
00:33:14Ugh.
00:33:16Ugh.
00:33:24Why did the sky just go dark?
00:33:27His presence alone
00:33:29made heaven and earth change color.
00:33:31Such overwhelming inner strength.
00:33:33Who on earth is he?
00:33:35He seems to be...
00:33:38Oh.
00:33:40Things are getting more interesting.
00:33:44Ugh.
00:33:49His footwork is unpredictable.
00:33:51And he moves extremely fast.
00:33:53He's good.
00:33:55But not that good.
00:33:57Luna,
00:33:59be on your guard.
00:34:01This man is dangerous.
00:34:03Little girl,
00:34:05I'll let you make the first two moves.
00:34:07Attack as you like.
00:34:09Otherwise, they'll say I'm bullying the young.
00:34:11The Gorg...
00:34:14Ugh.
00:34:16That's one.
00:34:18Luna, give it your all.
00:34:22Luna's about to unleash her signature move.
00:34:25That old man's as good as dead.
00:34:27Ninefold Solitary Sword,
00:34:29fifth move.
00:34:39The last three moves of the Ninefold Solitary Sword
00:34:41are where its true power lies.
00:34:43People like you who are lacking in talent
00:34:45better go back and train some more.
00:34:49Luna! Luna!
00:34:51Sis!
00:34:55Luna! Sis!
00:34:57Luna.
00:34:59Father, I'm sorry.
00:35:01We're done for.
00:35:03Even Luna isn't a match for him.
00:35:05Then who on earth can defeat this old man?
00:35:07Adam.
00:35:09Sis.
00:35:11Are you insane?
00:35:13That little punk wouldn't last a second up there.
00:35:15His martial prowess
00:35:17is indeed far above ours.
00:35:20As the sect leader, I made the wrong call
00:35:22and underestimated him.
00:35:24I...
00:35:26You know, our family's
00:35:28century-old legacy
00:35:30is going to be destroyed under my watch.
00:35:36Mr. Howard,
00:35:38losing to someone like me is no disgrace.
00:35:40You'd better go back and train harder.
00:35:47That's him.
00:35:49It's him.
00:35:51So it's you.
00:35:53Who is he?
00:35:55Levi Murphy?
00:35:57He's the one ranked 13th
00:35:59on the celestial list
00:36:01with his blizzard sword.
00:36:03He's unbeatable in the north realm.
00:36:05No wonder.
00:36:07He can make heaven and earth change color.
00:36:09A master of that level?
00:36:11I'm afraid your family's only hope
00:36:13is to beg the sword deity to come save you.
00:36:16But let's face it.
00:36:18Your clan's not on that level.
00:36:20You're unworthy.
00:36:22But still, I'm quite a generous man.
00:36:24And I can consider sparing your family's lives
00:36:27if you agree to serve my family as gatekeepers.
00:36:34Whoever wins this duel
00:36:36will be rewarded with
00:36:37the nine-leaf orchid!
00:36:39Going up against someone that powerful?
00:36:41That's nothing short of suicide.
00:36:51A group of cowards!
00:36:54Where's your pride as sword wielders?
00:36:57Huh?
00:37:04I'll fight.
00:37:08Come down!
00:37:10You're no match for him!
00:37:12Adam.
00:37:14As long as we get the orchid,
00:37:16your life will be saved.
00:37:18Even if there's a sliver of hope.
00:37:20I will fight for it with all I have.
00:37:24Solitary sword?
00:37:32That move you used?
00:37:34If it had been the sword seen itself,
00:37:35I wouldn't even have had time to react.
00:37:37Too bad.
00:37:39You haven't mastered it.
00:37:41You can't land a scratch on me
00:37:43to submit to defeat.
00:37:57I have to win.
00:37:59Master Murphy.
00:38:01This woman insists on challenging you.
00:38:03She still thinks she has a chance to win.
00:38:07Win?
00:38:09This time,
00:38:11I don't even need to draw my sword.
00:38:16Nice strike.
00:38:18Beat them like you beat stray dogs.
00:38:23It's my fault.
00:38:25I failed to master the solitary sword.
00:38:27If only I had even a tenth
00:38:29of the sword's Saint Power.
00:38:30Today,
00:38:32we wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
00:38:34Wait.
00:38:36No one is allowed to interfere
00:38:38with a life and death duel.
00:38:40That's the rule for all swordsmen.
00:38:42Come back now.
00:38:44What could be more important
00:38:46than your own life?
00:38:48Silly child.
00:38:50You are as precious as my life.
00:39:00You're hurt so badly.
00:39:02Why won't you admit defeat?
00:39:04Because of my son.
00:39:07And that's why
00:39:09I can't afford to lose.
00:39:12I'm begging you.
00:39:14I won't lose.
00:39:16I won't lose.
00:39:18I won't lose.
00:39:20I won't lose.
00:39:22I won't lose.
00:39:24I won't lose.
00:39:26I won't lose.
00:39:28I won't lose.
00:39:30I'm begging you to save Adam.
00:39:32I'm begging you.
00:39:39What are you doing?
00:39:42Is that so?
00:39:44Since you wish to die,
00:39:46then I'll fulfill your wish.
00:40:00Impossible.
00:40:07From here on,
00:40:09leave it to me.
00:40:12Impossible.
00:40:15Madison, come.
00:40:18You old geezer.
00:40:20I'll fight with you.
00:40:22You little brat.
00:40:24You still smell like milk.
00:40:26Stop messing around and get lost.
00:40:28Well, what if I
00:40:30defeat you?
00:40:32Defeat him?
00:40:34If a useless runt like you can defeat Master Murphy,
00:40:37I'll call you daddy.
00:40:39I don't want a disgraceful son like you.
00:40:41If you lose, just kneel down and bark a few times.
00:40:44After all, you seem to enjoy acting like a dog.
00:40:46You...
00:40:49Hey,
00:40:51I'd really like to see what kind of skills
00:40:53a snot-nosed brat like you has.
00:40:56Master Murphy,
00:40:58please teach that brat a good lesson.
00:41:00Are you out of your mind or something?
00:41:02You haven't even wielded a sword before.
00:41:04What the hell are you going up there for?
00:41:07And with a wooden sword.
00:41:09This is not child's play.
00:41:11What a show-off.
00:41:13Adam.
00:41:17The established Howard family
00:41:19is now reduced to relying on a little kid.
00:41:25Looks like you're not taking this duel seriously.
00:41:28Of course.
00:41:30For a brat like you,
00:41:32I only need one strike.
00:41:46Old man, what about now?
00:41:49What a fast strike.
00:41:51No way.
00:41:53I spent 30 years of my life
00:41:55refining this technique to perfection.
00:41:57Yet he's just a kid.
00:41:58How did he do that?
00:42:00He even shattered my sword in a single blow.
00:42:02Master Murphy,
00:42:04this battle determines the future of the Thompson clan.
00:42:07Stop holding back against that brat!
00:42:09Kid, you've got some skill,
00:42:11but in front of my 50 years of swordsmanship,
00:42:15you're just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
00:42:18You're bragging about 50 years?
00:42:21Not convinced?
00:42:23I was just underestimating you earlier.
00:42:25Now I'm going to show you
00:42:26why I rank 13th
00:42:29on the Celestial Sword List.
00:42:38Oh no, it's getting serious now.
00:42:41Even Luna couldn't beat him.
00:42:44There's no way Adam can win.
00:42:46It's still not too late to surrender.
00:42:48Save it.
00:42:50That sword move of yours,
00:42:52I was already playing with that centuries ago.
00:42:54Since you're seeking death,
00:42:56I'll grant your wish.
00:43:04Wow, look at that.
00:43:07It's one of the top 4 ultimate sword techniques,
00:43:09Snowpiercer Sword Style.
00:43:11Even the top 10 ranked on the Celestial Sword List
00:43:13would tread carefully around it.
00:43:15How can a little brat like you defeat an old monster
00:43:17who's cultivated for decades?
00:43:19Calm down!
00:43:21Shut up. Watch closely.
00:43:23This is the true essence of the 9-fold Solitary Sword Technique.
00:43:26Snow Dragon Technique!
00:43:40Heaven Slitting Slash!
00:43:51The White Dragon!
00:43:53It was actually cleaved in half!
00:43:55What kind of technique is that?
00:43:57It actually sliced the Snow Dragon in half!
00:44:00How is this possible?
00:44:02I've devoted my entire life to the way of the sword,
00:44:05and yet I was so easily defeated
00:44:08by that inexperienced kid!
00:44:12They say the 9-fold Solitary Sword has a 10th move,
00:44:15which infuses all sword chi
00:44:18into a Sky Splitting Sword.
00:44:20But that technique is the signature move of the Sword Saint.
00:44:22How could he possibly use it?
00:44:24Quiet down, will you?
00:44:26Keep training and you'll get there.
00:44:28Some swordsmen seem to have very little talent when they're young.
00:44:32Yet one day they'd suddenly be enlightened
00:44:35and master a profound sword art.
00:44:37I believe Adam is one of them.
00:44:39And he must have studied the 9-fold Solitary Sword
00:44:42and grasped the essence of it
00:44:44when none of us noticed.
00:44:48Looks like I underestimated you with your talent.
00:44:51Perhaps one day you will break the limits
00:44:54and take swordsmanship to the next level.
00:44:58I am impressed.
00:45:03Brother!
00:45:05Don't try to cozy up to me now!
00:45:07I'm sorry, Adam.
00:45:09I was wrong about you before.
00:45:11I looked down upon you because you were young
00:45:14and not a fast learner.
00:45:16I even called you names.
00:45:18But I swear to you,
00:45:19I won't treat you like that again.
00:45:21Will you please forgive me, brother?
00:45:25Right, Adam.
00:45:27We're family after all.
00:45:29Don't hold a grudge against each other.
00:45:31Alright, alright.
00:45:35I paid you a fortune to get you here.
00:45:38This is how you repay me?
00:45:40Don't you feel ashamed?
00:45:42It's a duel.
00:45:44And I never promised you I'd win.
00:45:46I lost this time and I admit defeat happily.
00:45:47You'd better shut your mouth
00:45:49or I'll teach you a good lesson.
00:45:55We are not done here.
00:45:58Hey, wait.
00:46:00You think you can just walk away like that?
00:46:02Did you forget we had a deal earlier?
00:46:07Alright.
00:46:09You haven't barked yet.
00:46:11Well, weren't you on your high horse?
00:46:14As the head of a sect,
00:46:15shouldn't you honor your words?
00:46:17Come on.
00:46:19If you don't do it,
00:46:21you're not getting out of this place.
00:46:27Just remember,
00:46:29I will make you suffer a hundredfold one day.
00:46:34Hey, Adam.
00:46:36Look.
00:46:38It's the nine-leaf orchid you wanted.
00:46:40Mr. Howard.
00:46:47Father, this is...
00:46:51Oh.
00:46:53Mr. Rogers sent a letter
00:46:55inviting us to take part
00:46:57in the sword duel tournament.
00:46:59The winner will join the Celestial Sect.
00:47:01Oh, my.
00:47:03The Celestial Sect?
00:47:05If we are lucky enough to learn one thing,
00:47:06or two techniques from the Sword Saint,
00:47:08all the other sects will have to look up to us
00:47:10in the future.
00:47:12The top ten sword masters of the Celestial Sect
00:47:14would give us enough to study for a lifetime.
00:47:16We might even
00:47:18meet the Sword Saint himself.
00:47:20Hey, Adam.
00:47:23For the upcoming sword duel tournament,
00:47:25I intend for you and your sister
00:47:27to both participate.
00:47:29Remember, I didn't fight for your sake.
00:47:31Don't push your luck.
00:47:33We'll see about that.
00:47:34I didn't fight for your sake.
00:47:36Don't push your luck, will you?
00:47:38You little rascal.
00:47:40Is that how you speak to your father?
00:47:42Shut up, you!
00:47:44We're not taking you to the tournament.
00:47:46Adam,
00:47:48the tournament is a grail for all swordsmen.
00:47:50Most of us can only dream
00:47:52of meeting the sword sages
00:47:54of the Celestial Sect
00:47:56even once in our lives.
00:47:58It's also a rare opportunity
00:48:00to see the world, isn't it?
00:48:02Exactly.
00:48:04We're a company, all right?
00:48:06Then, all right.
00:48:09All right.
00:48:11I'll just take it as a chance
00:48:13to visit my disciples.
00:48:15It's been a while.
00:48:17I wonder if they've kept up with their training.
00:48:19Mr. Hill,
00:48:21the sword duel tournament
00:48:23has begun.
00:48:25Sword Saint.
00:48:30Back then,
00:48:32you gave me a walloping
00:48:34in front of my disciples.
00:48:36It's time
00:48:38to settle that score.
00:48:56Howard's sect of the Eastern Realm
00:48:58is here to register.
00:49:00This is our...
00:49:02Here you are.
00:49:04Hey, where are your manners?
00:49:06How can you jump the queue?
00:49:08Who do you think you are?
00:49:10What's going on here?
00:49:14Uncle,
00:49:16thank you.
00:49:21Hey!
00:49:26Howard's sect from the Eastern Realm.
00:49:28Wait.
00:49:32Howard?
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:36I'm sorry.
00:49:38You're not allowed to enter.
00:49:40Not allowed?
00:49:42Mr. Rogers personally invited us to compete.
00:49:44How can you say we can't enter?
00:49:46Right.
00:49:48Look up there. Our name is on the list.
00:49:50You mean this?
00:49:52Right. It's written right here.
00:49:54Hey! Hey!
00:49:57You...
00:49:59What do you think you're doing?
00:50:01It's gone.
00:50:04I bet he's just siding with his relatives to bully us.
00:50:07So what if I am?
00:50:09You are but a group of nobodies
00:50:11from backwater villages with no strength
00:50:13and no connections.
00:50:15You're born to lick our boots.
00:50:17If I say you're not getting in,
00:50:19then you'd better just walk away.
00:50:21I entrusted the Celestial Sect
00:50:23to the care of Sword Deity not long ago,
00:50:25and it's already such a mess.
00:50:27But we earned the said mission fair and square.
00:50:29Whether we can enter or not
00:50:31is up to you.
00:50:33So what if you made it into
00:50:35the top 20 of Celestial lists?
00:50:37It means nothing.
00:50:39This is the Celestial Sect.
00:50:41It was personally founded by the Sword Saint,
00:50:43the founder of swordsmanship.
00:50:46What right do you nobodies have
00:50:49to enter a sword tournament
00:50:51filled with the greatest swordmasters
00:50:53who lost before things got ugly,
00:50:56who are but an eyesore?
00:50:58I dare you to say that again!
00:51:02What will you do if I say it again?
00:51:06Blake!
00:51:08Calm down.
00:51:14Take a look at yourself in the mirror.
00:51:17Swines like you from the lower class
00:51:20don't deserve to enter.
00:51:22The Sword Saint said
00:51:24the way of the sword is open for everyone.
00:51:26Yes, we come from a small place.
00:51:28Our skills may not rival
00:51:29the elite swordsmen of the major sects,
00:51:31but does that give you the right
00:51:33to openly trample on us like that?
00:51:35Right.
00:51:37If you can name but one swordmaster
00:51:39with real connections to back you up,
00:51:41I'll happily let you in.
00:51:43Otherwise,
00:51:45I'd rather let a dog in
00:51:47than let you people step inside.
00:51:49You!
00:51:51I wonder
00:51:53if I'm good enough
00:51:55to back them up.
00:51:57Did I hear that right?
00:51:59Little punk,
00:52:01what did you say?
00:52:03Listen,
00:52:05just because you got into the celestial sect
00:52:07you think you're superior?
00:52:09You're only good at helping your relatives bully others.
00:52:11But at the end of the day,
00:52:13aren't you just a dog guarding the gate?
00:52:16You son of a bitch!
00:52:18How dare you say that to me!
00:52:22You're his mother.
00:52:24You'd better make this kid apologize right away
00:52:26otherwise
00:52:28don't blame us Clouds sect
00:52:30for wiping out your entire family.
00:52:33All right,
00:52:35stop wasting our time.
00:52:37Take this
00:52:39and ask Bruce to come see me right away.
00:52:41Good.
00:52:43Today,
00:52:45you Howard sect is done for good.
00:52:47How dare you call this sword deity by name.
00:52:50Sword deity?
00:52:53What's this,
00:52:54trash?
00:52:56What's so great about it?
00:52:58I'm warning you.
00:53:01I'll go report this to the sword deity right now.
00:53:04You guys,
00:53:06just wait to be punished.
00:53:08No!
00:53:10Adam,
00:53:12being naughty is one thing.
00:53:14How could you mess with someone
00:53:16from the celestial sect?
00:53:18Right.
00:53:20The sword deity is the sword saint's favorite disciple.
00:53:22Now you've offended him openly.
00:53:25Relax.
00:53:33Master sword deity,
00:53:35Howard sect from the eastern realm
00:53:37is causing trouble outside.
00:53:39Master, I don't know how to handle it.
00:53:41Follow the protocol.
00:53:43Yes.
00:53:45It's just
00:53:47an old badge with the word sword on it.
00:53:49What's the big deal?
00:53:51What did you say?
00:53:52I said...
00:53:54Lead the way.
00:54:00Kid,
00:54:02why would you want to offend the sword deity?
00:54:04You're done for.
00:54:06No one would be able to save you now.
00:54:09What should we do now?
00:54:11Don't worry, Ad.
00:54:13I won't let anything happen to you.
00:54:15It's fine.
00:54:17That guy wouldn't dare to do anything.
00:54:19Enough, Adam.
00:54:20Watch what you say.
00:54:22Master, please.
00:54:38Oh, master sword deity.
00:54:40This little punk asked me to take this badge to you
00:54:42and showed no respect for you in front of everyone.
00:54:45He humiliated the entire celestial sect
00:54:47founded by the great sword saint.
00:54:48They had the gall to come here
00:54:50and make it a bit seen.
00:54:52I was so angry that I broke the badge in half
00:54:54as a warning.
00:54:59You...
00:55:01It was your doing?
00:55:03I was just doing my job.
00:55:05Not worth mentioning.
00:55:07Little punk.
00:55:09Let's see if you can still act tough now.
00:55:13Master sword deity,
00:55:15why did you slap me for?
00:55:16Do you know?
00:55:18Do you know what this is?
00:55:20Isn't it just an old piece of wood?
00:55:22A piece of wood?
00:55:24It's something that could cost your life.
00:55:26It's the sword saint's personal badge.
00:55:28What?
00:55:30This badge represents the sword saint himself.
00:55:32Is this a legendary divine sword badge?
00:55:34What?
00:55:36So you're saying Adam is...
00:55:46I almost forgot.
00:55:48Master can't reveal his identity yet.
00:55:50Oh, I get it.
00:55:52This must be a fake.
00:55:54He's just a little brat.
00:55:56How could the sword saint possibly give such a valuable thing to him?
00:55:58That's absolutely impossible.
00:56:00Shut up!
00:56:02Adam, why do you have the sword saint's badge?
00:56:05Well, one time I ran into him
00:56:07and he said something like,
00:56:09we're fated to meet
00:56:11and then he gave me the badge.
00:56:13He must have seen great potential in your son
00:56:14and knew he'd amount to greatness.
00:56:16His name is bound to go down in history.
00:56:19No wonder your skills advanced by leaps and bounds.
00:56:22The sword saint must have taught you a thing or two.
00:56:24Oh my, an encounter with the sword saint.
00:56:27How many in this world would have such good luck?
00:56:30Moreover, he even helped Adam improve his skills.
00:56:33This is truly a blessing for our family.
00:56:36A once in a lifetime stroke of luck.
00:56:38Our family is about to rise and shine.
00:56:43Oh, Master Sword deity.
00:56:46I really didn't mean to break this precious badge.
00:56:49Please give me a chance to make amends.
00:56:52It's up to him.
00:56:54Oh, young hero.
00:56:57I'm sorry, I'm awfully sorry.
00:56:59I know I was wrong, really.
00:57:01You're only apologizing
00:57:03because you know you're going to die.
00:57:08Well, I can spare a life.
00:57:10But you have to be punished accordingly.
00:57:13Take him away.
00:57:16Wait.
00:57:18Weren't you just boasting a moment ago?
00:57:20Claiming he's in charge of everything here?
00:57:22What?
00:57:24Kicking me while I'm down?
00:57:26It was me who destroyed the badge.
00:57:28But I did it because I didn't know
00:57:30it belonged to the sword saint.
00:57:32It seems you still don't understand
00:57:34what you did wrong.
00:57:36It's just a badge.
00:57:37It's just a badge.
00:57:39And the sword saint won't make a fuss about it.
00:57:41But you took advantage of your position,
00:57:43thinking you're better than anyone else,
00:57:45sided with your relatives,
00:57:47fabricated charges.
00:57:49And you accused us of causing trouble shamelessly.
00:57:53More importantly,
00:57:55the way of the sword is open to everyone.
00:57:57Aren't we all people of Dahera?
00:57:59We live on the same land.
00:58:01And we are all born equal.
00:58:04But you look down on others.
00:58:05Look down on others.
00:58:07Tell me, shouldn't you be punished?
00:58:10Take him away.
00:58:14The tournament is about to begin.
00:58:16Everyone, please follow me.
00:58:24How did the Howards get in here?
00:58:30A group of frauds with style over substance.
00:58:32Soon, I'll make them realize
00:58:34what true swordsmanship is.
00:58:37The sword duel tournament
00:58:39is meant to promote exchange and mutual learning.
00:58:41The winner will join the celestial sect
00:58:43and be taught by the sword saint himself
00:58:45after he returns from retreat.
00:58:47Wow, great.
00:58:49In the past century,
00:58:51those who were lucky enough to learn from him
00:58:53have all become legends in their own right.
00:58:56Blake, Luna, you have to see this opportunity.
00:58:59I'm already very excited.
00:59:00And if I could receive guidance
00:59:02from the sword saint himself,
00:59:04I would no doubt ascend to new heights.
00:59:15I am Luna Howard.
00:59:17Greetings to you.
00:59:25I am Jonathan Evans
00:59:27from Cloud City.
00:59:28Miss, I challenge you.
00:59:43It's been a long time.
00:59:47How did that happen?
00:59:51What is he doing here?
00:59:58Who's that?
01:00:00Who's he? So arrogant.
01:00:02He is the highest skilled swordman from Sakurana,
01:00:05Jude Hill.
01:00:07After countless duels,
01:00:09he's only ever lost to the sword saint.
01:00:11Jude, celestial sword sect
01:00:13is not a place you can barge into as you please.
01:00:15Leave now, or don't blame me for showing no mercy.
01:00:19Now that my slayer sword technique has reached perfection,
01:00:22not you, not even the sword saint himself could stop me.
01:00:25I'll make him kneel and beg for his worthless life.
01:00:28Like a dog.
01:00:31You dare insult the sword saint?
01:00:39His strength is unfathomable.
01:00:41You can't even tooth my first move.
01:00:44You people from the Daihara
01:00:46are nothing but useless drunkards and cowards.
01:00:48Once I finish off
01:00:50your so-called heavenly sword list in fleets,
01:00:52I'll settle the score
01:00:54with the sword saint himself.
01:00:58Ha ha ha.
01:01:10If words no longer work,
01:01:12then let our swords do the talking.
01:01:23This is the Myriad Technique.
01:01:26Myriad Technique?
01:01:28It was invented by the sword saint
01:01:30after he ascended to the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
01:01:32It can absorb chi from nature with a single strike.
01:01:35It can reduce a city to ashes in an instant.
01:01:38Mountain!
01:01:42River!
01:01:47Stars in the sky!
01:01:53Is this the legendary sword technique
01:01:55that embodies the very essence of swordsmanship?
01:01:56It's phenomenal!
01:01:58Although the sword deity
01:02:00has only mastered the first move of the Myriad Technique,
01:02:02its power is already overwhelming.
01:02:04He's bound to win.
01:02:06No, he's lost.
01:02:08It looks like Jude is barely holding on,
01:02:10but he's actually absorbing Bruce's chi.
01:02:17What?
01:02:19That's it?
01:02:21You still have a long way to go
01:02:23compared to your master.
01:02:24You're feeble and lacking in strength.
01:02:30Master Sword Deity!
01:02:37Master, I'm sorry.
01:02:39I've let you down.
01:02:41I told you to train harder,
01:02:43but you're always slacking off.
01:02:45If you had mastered the second move of Myriad Technique,
01:02:47you could have easily won this duel.
01:02:52But since you did your best,
01:02:54you'll still be a worthy disciple of mine.
01:02:57Master Sword Deity!
01:03:02I knew,
01:03:04without a sword saint around,
01:03:06I can crush you all
01:03:08with the snap of a finger.
01:03:10Daihara has no real swordsman.
01:03:24Luna!
01:03:26What are you doing?
01:03:28Even the Sword Deity is no match for him.
01:03:30Now only the Sword Saint,
01:03:32who is currently in retreat,
01:03:34could possibly defeat him.
01:03:36The Sword Saint once said,
01:03:38your skills may be poor
01:03:40and your desire to win may falter,
01:03:42but your dignity as a swordsman cannot be lost.
01:03:45Enough.
01:03:47Just leave it to me.
01:03:49Adam.
01:03:51Daihara is a nation of cowards.
01:03:52Get on your knees, all of you.
01:03:54That means you can never compare to Sakuraba.
01:03:56Otherwise,
01:03:58every last one of you here
01:04:00will die!
01:04:02In your dreams!
01:04:12Anyone else?
01:04:14Come on!
01:04:16Come!
01:04:18I'll fight you!
01:04:22Adam,
01:04:24I know you're a genius,
01:04:26but you're still way too young.
01:04:28You're no match for him for now.
01:04:30Come, leave with me.
01:04:32Don't worry.
01:04:34Adam.
01:04:36Even the Sword Deity couldn't defeat him.
01:04:38Adam will only get himself killed.
01:04:40Right, Adam.
01:04:42Please, you can't go.
01:04:44The man's strength is beyond imagination.
01:04:46Only the Sword Saint, who's in retreat,
01:04:48might stand a chance to defeat him.
01:04:50Don't act on impulse!
01:04:53Daihara has no men left,
01:04:55sending a kid like him to fight.
01:04:57So what if I'm a kid?
01:04:59You're just a swordsman
01:05:01who's from a small island.
01:05:03Although I'm young,
01:05:05I can easily beat you to your knees
01:05:07begging for mercy.
01:05:09Little brat.
01:05:11You want to die? Fine.
01:05:13I'll kill you along with everyone else.
01:05:16Say whatever you want,
01:05:18because you won't be able to speak
01:05:20pretty soon.
01:05:23Oh no! He's doing that again!
01:05:43What?!
01:05:45Adam counteracted the move
01:05:47that defeated Master Sword Deity?!
01:05:49He even knocked Jude back at the same time!
01:05:50That's a fast, neat move.
01:05:53Howard's sect has a genius.
01:05:56Impossible!
01:05:58A kid like him wields power
01:06:00that equals the Sword Saints.
01:06:02It's a shame a genius like him
01:06:04was born in an enemy state.
01:06:07I will have to kill you.
01:06:11Oh no!
01:06:13That's Jude's signature move!
01:06:15Kiddo, you're doomed.
01:06:17Have a taste of my true power!
01:06:20Adam, don't just stand there!
01:06:22Run! Now!
01:06:24Adam, get down!
01:06:26All in one!
01:06:31One and all!
01:06:36Impossible!
01:06:43Jude!
01:06:45Jude lost! Adam lost!
01:06:47Adam won!
01:06:49Adam won!
01:06:52I just remembered.
01:06:54That move should be the last move
01:06:56of the Murad technique.
01:06:58All in one and one and all.
01:07:01I can't believe Adam actually used that move.
01:07:04At such a young age,
01:07:06he's already mastered the Sword Saints' signature move.
01:07:09If he keeps it up,
01:07:11he will definitely go a long way.
01:07:13Adam is truly a blessing to our family!
01:07:17What?
01:07:21What did you do to me?
01:07:27I'll spare your life this time,
01:07:29but you won't wield the sword again.
01:07:31Get lost!
01:07:44Why did he have to come and cause trouble?
01:07:47What a waste of my time!
01:07:50Adam.
01:07:52What's up?
01:07:54Can we talk, please?
01:07:58What's wrong?
01:08:00Adam has always been a very shy kid.
01:08:03He has been a lone wolf since he was young
01:08:05and always tried to avoid others' attention.
01:08:07He showed little talent when it comes to sword fight.
01:08:10So as his mother,
01:08:12to protect my son,
01:08:14I've been desperately trying to improve my own skills.
01:08:15But...
01:08:20Ever since you had that favor,
01:08:22everything has changed.
01:08:24It's like you've become a different person.
01:08:26You've become outgoing,
01:08:28unlike what you used to be.
01:08:30Your sword skills improved dramatically.
01:08:32I originally thought you had suddenly become enlightened,
01:08:35but your strength is way too strong.
01:08:37You defeated such a formidable opponent in the last duel
01:08:40and didn't break a sweat.
01:08:42That is far beyond the strength someone at your age should have.
01:08:43My Adam
01:08:45could never reach such a high level
01:08:47however hard he tries.
01:08:49Well...
01:08:51So, I'm positive.
01:08:53You
01:08:55are not Adam.
01:08:59Mother,
01:09:01you're overthinking it.
01:09:03I've gained confidence after my skills improved.
01:09:05Really?
01:09:07Really. I've grown up.
01:09:09How can I protect you
01:09:11by hiding behind you?
01:09:14Great.
01:09:16That's great.
01:09:18I guess I'll explain everything to her
01:09:20after I enter the Celestial Realm tomorrow.
01:09:29Master,
01:09:31many of our disciples have disappeared.
01:09:33What do we do?
01:09:38No, please!
01:09:40No, please!
01:09:44No!
01:09:50Tomorrow,
01:09:52I'll make the Halberds sit proud and lie!
01:10:03Adam made a tremendous contribution.
01:10:06He put in tremendous effort in this sword duel tournament.
01:10:10It's more than that.
01:10:11He restored the dignity of our entire Daehara.
01:10:14Exactly.
01:10:16If it weren't for Adam turning the tide,
01:10:18we would have been completely looked down upon.
01:10:21The Heaven Sword Pavilion Celestial Sword Sect
01:10:24named our Howard Sect
01:10:26as the number one sword sect from all four regions.
01:10:28Let's raise our glasses together
01:10:30and toast our great hero, Adam!
01:10:32Cheers!
01:10:34Cheers!
01:10:41Father.
01:10:42Good.
01:10:45Adam,
01:10:47I didn't recognize your greatness before,
01:10:49and I had many misunderstandings about you.
01:10:51But after seeing your strength,
01:10:53I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart.
01:10:55You are the great hero of our family.
01:10:57Here.
01:10:59Let me toast you.
01:11:03Why?
01:11:05Are you still mad at me?
01:11:07Look at this.
01:11:09I've been doing pretty well these days, right?
01:11:11It's a completely different light now.
01:11:14Oh, good.
01:11:16That's good.
01:11:18I'll keep working hard.
01:11:21Hey!
01:11:23Don't just stand there!
01:11:25Hurry up and eat!
01:11:28Hey,
01:11:30sister.
01:11:32Adam's all-forms-as-one was too impressive.
01:11:34What do you think the Sword Saint would feel
01:11:36if he saw a kid replicate his technique?
01:11:39He'd definitely say
01:11:41I'm the best!
01:11:45Adam,
01:11:47although you're very skilled,
01:11:49you need to be careful.
01:11:51I don't care how strong you are.
01:11:53All I want is for you to be safe.
01:11:57Good.
01:11:59Hey, let's eat.
01:12:01Eat! Come on, come on!
01:12:03Let's drink! Come on.
01:12:05I'd be abandoned by my parents.
01:12:07Never thought that someone like me,
01:12:09abandoned by my parents at a young age,
01:12:11would feel like.
01:12:13Too bad.
01:12:15Tomorrow, when I break into the Celestial Realm,
01:12:17I have to return this body.
01:12:19If she finds out that this young boy
01:12:21had already left on the day he had a fever,
01:12:23she'll probably be heartbroken.
01:12:30Master,
01:12:32we've had everything prepared.
01:12:34This place is quiet and seclusive,
01:12:36perfect for cultivation.
01:12:39Let's go to the Celestial Realm
01:12:41and meet with those heavenly beings.
01:12:52Master!
01:12:54It seems I still haven't completely grasped
01:12:56the essence of swordsmanship.
01:12:58The threshold of Celestial Realm
01:13:00is much higher than I imagined.
01:13:02I'm still not qualified to gain the recognition
01:13:04of those heavenly beings.
01:13:06But what is the true essence
01:13:07of swordsmanship?
01:13:09Master, if you aren't qualified,
01:13:11then who else in this world
01:13:13can ascend to the Celestial Realm?
01:13:15Master Sortain, something happened!
01:13:17Compose yourself before you speak.
01:13:19What's wrong?
01:13:21Howard's neck is in trouble.
01:13:23What?
01:13:25Have you found him?
01:13:29What should we do?
01:13:31Don't worry.
01:13:33Adam is exceptionally strong.
01:13:35No one will be able to hurt him.
01:13:37He's a kid.
01:13:39He can't be naughty.
01:13:49Mr. Howard.
01:13:51Long time no see.
01:13:53Are you...
01:13:55Harrison?
01:13:57How did he end up like this?
01:13:59It's said that those who practice black magic
01:14:01develop red hair and crimson eyes.
01:14:03Could it be he has sold his soul to the devil?
01:14:06Speak.
01:14:08What do you want?
01:14:10Why are you here?
01:14:12What are you after this time?
01:14:14I want revenge.
01:14:17Harrison,
01:14:19when we had a life and death duel,
01:14:21the Thompson sect already lost.
01:14:23According to the rules,
01:14:25you can only challenge us again after three years.
01:14:27Rules?
01:14:29I make my own rules now.
01:14:31This isn't a place for you to mess around.
01:14:33Be careful.
01:14:48This is bad.
01:14:50He made a deal with the devil.
01:14:52Only the swords can't defeat him.
01:14:55Harrison,
01:14:57don't you know that practicing black magic
01:14:59will shorten your lifespan?
01:15:01At most, you will live another year.
01:15:03Do you really think it's worth it?
01:15:05Yes.
01:15:07You destroyed my family,
01:15:09left me with nothing,
01:15:11and made me a laughingstock.
01:15:13The reputation I gained after a decade of hard work was gone.
01:15:15I have nothing left to lose.
01:15:17All I want to do now
01:15:19is to kill every last one of you.
01:15:21The life and death duel was forced upon us by you.
01:15:23You have no one else to blame but yourself.
01:15:25I don't care.
01:15:27I will drag your family down with me.
01:15:28Where's that arrogant brat of yours?
01:15:30He made me bark like a dog.
01:15:32Today, I will beat him up to a bloody pulp.
01:15:35If you hand him over,
01:15:37maybe I'll consider
01:15:39sparing the life of the elder son of yours.
01:15:41Keep him as my slave for the rest of his life.
01:15:46Master,
01:15:48you just came back.
01:15:50It cost you a lot of energy.
01:15:52You're not fit to fight right now.
01:15:54If the opponent is strong...
01:15:56I'm fine.
01:15:58I was abandoned by my parents when I was little.
01:16:00Madison is pretty much like my second mother.
01:16:02She has been taking good care of me these days.
01:16:04I'm indebted to her.
01:16:06I have to go.
01:16:11How is it?
01:16:13No way!
01:16:15Even if every one of you come at me together,
01:16:17your chance of defeating me is next to impossible.
01:16:20As long as there's a chance to win,
01:16:22even if it costs my life,
01:16:24I'm willing to give it a go.
01:16:26Father?
01:16:29Huh?
01:16:42I said,
01:16:44as long as you hand over that brat,
01:16:46I might consider sparing the rest of you.
01:16:48He's my brother.
01:16:50Don't even think about it.
01:16:55Is that so?
01:16:58Luna!
01:17:00You...
01:17:03You guys are really stubborn.
01:17:05You won't hand him over, will you?
01:17:07Then don't blame me!
01:17:17Who did it?
01:17:21Me, you despicable dog!
01:17:25Adam?
01:17:26Adam!
01:17:28Adam, where have you been?
01:17:30I...
01:17:32It's a long story.
01:17:34I'll explain it to you later.
01:17:36Great.
01:17:38Adam's much stronger than us.
01:17:40He'll teach Harrison a good lesson
01:17:42without breaking a sweat.
01:17:44Thank goodness we have Adam.
01:17:46Brat.
01:17:48I was just worried I couldn't find you.
01:17:50You came right to me.
01:17:52Just for revenge,
01:17:53you actually made a deal with the devil
01:17:55in exchange of power.
01:17:57My current strength is on par with the Sword Saint!
01:18:00You're all about to die by my hands.
01:18:02You have no right to judge me!
01:18:04I hope your sword skill is better than your speech!
01:18:16Adam! Adam!
01:18:23I didn't expect the strength of Harrison
01:18:25to reach this level.
01:18:27How could this be?
01:18:29Impossible!
01:18:31Leave, all of you!
01:18:33I was weakened by the previous fight.
01:18:35I'm no longer his match.
01:18:37I can still help you guys buy some time.
01:18:39Adam, what are you talking about?
01:18:41You're my brother, we're family.
01:18:43How could we leave you behind?
01:18:45That's right.
01:18:47You are the best swordsman ever of our family.
01:18:49We'll protect you with our lives!
01:18:51You don't need to do this for me.
01:18:54I'm not Adam.
01:18:57What are you talking about?
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:06I lied to you before.
01:19:08I'm actually the Sword Saint,
01:19:10Lucas Ward.
01:19:12What about my son?
01:19:14What about my son?
01:19:16He...
01:19:18He already passed away
01:19:20on the day he had the fever.
01:19:21And I borrowed his body
01:19:23to ascend to the Celestial Realm.
01:19:25So it was me who won these duels.
01:19:27It wasn't Adam's doing.
01:19:29Okay, I've heard enough from...
01:19:32Sorry.
01:19:34I lied to you all.
01:19:36So you don't need to risk your lives for me.
01:19:39Just go.
01:19:46Tell us, Sword Saint.
01:19:48What do you need us to do?
01:19:49To defeat him?
01:19:51But I'm not Adam.
01:19:53So what if you're not?
01:19:55Right.
01:19:57In our hearts, you and Adam are the same.
01:19:59You're both our family.
01:20:01But she...
01:20:06I think Adam wouldn't want to see his idol lose.
01:20:09Don't worry.
01:20:11We will do our best to help you.
01:20:13Tell us.
01:20:15How can we defeat him?
01:20:17Non-conflict into the Celestial Realm?
01:20:19I never thought...
01:20:21The end of swordsmanship would be mine.
01:20:26What a shame.
01:20:28It's too late.
01:20:30Harrison won't give me time to ascend to the next level.
01:20:32Don't worry.
01:20:34Our Howard family will protect you well.
01:20:36That's right, Sword Saint.
01:20:38Leave the rest to us.
01:20:40I've always wanted to kick his butt.
01:20:42Never mind him.
01:20:44We'll handle it.
01:20:46Don't worry.
01:20:55Have you bid each other farewell?
01:20:57He who laughs last, laughs best!
01:21:01You're putting your hopes on this little guy?
01:21:04If I'm not mistaken.
01:21:06You'd better give up.
01:21:08Maybe he was once the unrivaled Sword Saint.
01:21:11But now, his strength has diminished greatly.
01:21:13I can crush you like I crush an ant!
01:21:16You want to hurt him?
01:21:18You'll have to go through us first.
01:21:20Perfect.
01:21:22You think you can stop me?
01:21:24Then let's have some fun.
01:21:27Luna!
01:21:29You're the big sister, huh?
01:21:31Just say it.
01:21:33The Howards can't compare to the Thompson's.
01:21:35If you do, maybe I'll give you a quick death.
01:21:38You offered your soul to the devil in exchange for power.
01:21:41What's there to be proud of?
01:21:43My family serves the Sword Saint only!
01:21:46Yeah?
01:21:48What's this?
01:21:53Who else can stop me?
01:21:55I'll kill you!
01:21:58Forget me!
01:22:00Blake!
01:22:02Just wait.
01:22:04You won't be laughing for long.
01:22:08Stop dreaming!
01:22:10With the snap of a finger, I can wipe out your entire family!
01:22:14Sword Saint, this is all we can do for you now.
01:22:26Is that all you've got?
01:22:28Sword Saint, it's your turn!
01:22:33I've practiced swordplay all my life,
01:22:35yet I'm not capable of buying some time for the Sword Saint!
01:22:40If the Sword Saint died,
01:22:41the way of the sword would end with him!
01:22:51Stop!
01:22:53Stop where you are!
01:22:55You're as irritating as a cockroach!
01:22:57Stupid woman, you think you can stop me?
01:23:00I will never let you lay a finger on him!
01:23:03He's not even your own son!
01:23:05Why are you doing this?
01:23:07After spending so much time together,
01:23:08we have long considered him family.
01:23:11And I consider him my own son as well.
01:23:15Today, even if it costs me my life,
01:23:18I will never allow you to hurt him!
01:23:23Impressive.
01:23:27Too bad.
01:23:29You won't have a chance to see him again!
01:23:36Why is it getting so dark?
01:23:39Adam's reached the next level!
01:23:56You're the one who's gonna die!
01:23:59Bluffing, aren't you?
01:24:01You already lost to me in our last duel.
01:24:03You seriously think you can make a comeback now?
01:24:06Guess so.
01:24:08Yeah, keep pretending!
01:24:10No matter how convincing your act is,
01:24:13your whole family will be slaughtered by me,
01:24:16one by one!
01:24:18I see you.
01:24:25Impossible!
01:24:30Impossible.
01:24:32How could I lose to that brat?
01:24:39No...
01:24:47Is this the power of the Celestial Realm?
01:24:50No wonder he's the best swordsman ever!
01:24:53He was never the Sword Saints' match from the beginning!
01:24:56I'll leave Harrison's body to you guys.
01:24:58Yes.
01:25:00Now you are safe.
01:25:02I'll head back to the Celestial Sect.
01:25:05Don't worry.
01:25:06I'll have someone bring Adam's body back to you soon.
01:25:13Master.
01:25:15You're now capable enough to take over the Celestial Sect.
01:25:19I still have a long way to go, compared to you.
01:25:22No. It's time for me to step down now.
01:25:25Master, why do you suddenly want to retire?
01:25:34Madison.
01:25:37You've been in low spirits all day.
01:25:40Adam up in Heaven wouldn't want to see you like this.
01:25:45I'm fine.
01:25:56Right.
01:25:58Adam wouldn't want to see me like this.
01:26:02I need to be strong.
01:26:07But...
01:26:10But Adam is the person I love the most in this life.
01:26:15How can I accept he died?
01:26:19Adam...
01:26:22Adam...
01:26:26It's all my fault.
01:26:28It's all my fault for not protecting you well.
01:26:32I'm sorry.
01:26:33It's all my fault for not protecting you well.
01:26:42Who is it?
01:26:48Mother!
01:26:52Adam!
01:26:55Adam!
01:26:56It's you!
01:26:57Is it really you?
01:26:59I woke up and a big brother brought me back.
01:27:04Master, exhaust three lifetimes of cultivation in exchange for Adam's rebirth.
01:27:10Please, don't let him down.
01:27:16How could it be?
01:27:27In these past days, you cared for me like a mother.
01:27:30So I made this decision.
01:27:33You don't need to feel sorry for me.
01:27:35I've reached the end of the way of the sword.
01:27:38Moreover, as an orphan, I once only had my sword as companion.
01:27:42You let me experience something I've never felt before.
01:27:45A mother's love.
01:27:47It's worth it.
01:27:52Adam...
01:28:03Adam, remember.
01:28:05This is the man who saved your life.
01:28:07Without him, you wouldn't be standing here today.
01:28:12Mother!
01:28:14Owen, what's up?
01:28:16I just created a set of sword techniques.
01:28:18I want you to take a look.
01:28:20Sure.
01:28:23Let's go.
01:28:34You're amazing.
01:28:35At such a young age, you can wield a sword skillfully.
01:28:44Wait.
01:28:46This sword technique seems similar to that of the Sword Saint.
01:28:53What?
01:28:56So, what do you plan to name this set of techniques?
01:29:00How about...
01:29:02Myriad Technique? Is it good?
01:29:07Good.
