Short filmTranscript
00:00:28You
00:00:30Damon? You scared the hell out of me. Who told you to sneak up on me like that?
00:00:36Leah, I came to give you something. It's an invitation to Celestial Academy.
00:00:41You can use it to enroll now.
00:00:46But, but this is your family's only invitation. If you give it to me, what will you do?
00:00:51I've been stuck in Ignition Realm for years. There's no way forward for me. It's better to give this chance
00:00:56to you.
00:00:56I don't want it. If you give this to me, you'll have no way to answer to your family. They
00:01:01might even punish you.
00:01:03It's fine. For your sake, I don't mind it at all.
00:01:13Wait for me. Give me three years. When I come back, I'll marry you.
00:01:22Okay. It's okay. Everything's okay.
00:01:27Wait for me.
00:01:31Okay.
00:01:47You wretch. Get on your knees.
00:01:51Please. Our family pooled every resource we had to get that invitation to Celestial Academy.
00:01:59And you went and gave it to some girl.
00:02:02I'm furious just thinking about it. Grandfather meant to give that invitation to me.
00:02:05You fought so hard for it, only to give it away.
00:02:07The requirements to enter Celestial Academy are incredibly strict.
00:02:10Every graduate from that place is a prodigy.
00:02:12And you just handed it to an outsider.
00:02:14That's not true. Leah isn't some outsider.
00:02:17Our family's next generation lacks talent.
00:02:20I wanted to send one of you to Celestial Academy to grow.
00:02:23Instead, you went and wasted everything I put into this.
00:02:26Such a disappointment.
00:02:27Father, if we don't cast out this disgrace, we won't be able to live in peace.
00:02:35Yes, Grandfather. You can't keep indulging him.
00:02:38He may have been a prodigy as a child, but that's all in the past.
00:02:41We're both your grandsons. You've got to be fair.
00:02:43Father, Damon was wrong this time.
00:02:45Please give him one more chance. I promise I'll keep him in line.
00:02:48What Damon did was unacceptable.
00:02:50But casting him out would make our family a laughing stock.
00:02:54Damon, starting today, you are confined to the Celestial Cave for three years.
00:02:58For those three years, you are not to leave for any reason.
00:03:18For those three years, you are not to leave for any reason.
00:03:43For most cultivators, the Ignition Realm Stage 5 unlocks Command Realm.
00:03:48Five more stages, and you reach Zenith Realm.
00:03:50But for me, I've already reached Stage 1 million!
00:03:53Stage 1 million!
00:03:56Yet I still can't ascend to the next realm.
00:03:58Oh heavens! Are you messing with me?
00:04:09Today marks the end of my three years of confined roaring-ment.
00:04:12And today, Leah comes back.
00:04:14It's been three years.
00:04:16How have you been?
00:04:28Damon.
00:04:34Leah!
00:04:35You finally came to meet me.
00:04:37Three years is a long time.
00:04:39It's natural to feel a little distant.
00:04:41Have you been well these three years?
00:04:42Thank you for giving me that invitation.
00:04:46It's nothing.
00:04:47Don't mention it.
00:04:49You gave me the chance to study at Celestial Academy.
00:04:52Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.
00:04:56There's no need for us to keep score.
00:04:58Leah, what's your Cultivation Realm now?
00:05:00I am the Leader's Disciple, and I've reached Command Realm Stage 4.
00:05:04Leader?
00:05:04You mean the Legendary Miss Palmer?
00:05:06So just one more stage, and you'll reach Zenith Realm across Cauldrus.
00:05:11Few people your age have reached that level.
00:05:14That's all thanks to you.
00:05:17What about your Cultivation Level?
00:05:22I'm still in Ignition Realm, but I've managed to reach...
00:05:27Looks like you haven't done much these three years.
00:05:30Even you think that?
00:05:32I came back because of our promise.
00:05:34But I also want to be honest with you.
00:05:37We're not in the same world anymore.
00:05:39Please don't hold on to hope for us.
00:05:41It puts me in a very difficult position.
00:05:44Leah.
00:05:44I'm only one stage away from Zenith Realm.
00:05:47I'm one of the four greatest young talents in Cauldrus.
00:05:50With the Miss Palmer's Guide, I'm destined to reach the pinnacle.
00:05:53And you'll be stuck in the Ignition Realm.
00:05:56You'd only hold me back.
00:06:02What's wrong with Ignition Realm?
00:06:03What's so bad about it?
00:06:04Every Cultivator starts at Ignition Realm.
00:06:06Who are you to say that?
00:06:08Damon, I've been betrothed.
00:06:10He's Tom Wagner, the top talent of the Wagner family.
00:06:13He's so young, yet he's already reached Zenith Realm.
00:06:16Only someone like him is worthy of me.
00:06:19You need to face the reality.
00:06:22Because of you, I was cast out by my family,
00:06:25confined for three years, and became a laughingstock to everyone.
00:06:28And you, you come back in glory and treat me like I'm nothing.
00:06:32Leah, you are so cruel.
00:06:36I know.
00:06:36I owe you one.
00:06:38This is a breakthrough pill.
00:06:40A grade 6 medicine.
00:06:41Listen, I think even your grandfather would struggle to get his hands on one.
00:06:45It can't heal injuries, but it can help you break through your limits.
00:06:49Take it.
00:06:50Consider it repayment for the invitation.
00:06:59All that love, given in vain.
00:07:01I shall reclaim everything I gave you.
00:07:09Damon, with three years in seclusion, you should already be beyond the Ignition Realm.
00:07:14Yes, Grandfather.
00:07:17I, I'm still in Ignition Realm.
00:07:21Grandfather, what are you hoping for?
00:07:24Leah is already the most celebrated young talent in Caldress.
00:07:26And most importantly, she's already engaged to the Wagner family's son.
00:07:30You mean nothing to her.
00:07:32You, you humiliated yourself.
00:07:35Father, you've already given him a chance.
00:07:37If you don't act now, our family will be shamed.
00:07:44Father, we...
00:07:45Enough!
00:07:47Starting today, Sean Larson and Damon Larson are hereby expelled from the family and are never to return.
00:07:57Enough!
00:07:59Starting today, Sean Larson and Damon Larson are hereby expelled from the family and are never to return.
00:08:13Sean Larson, there's no point putting on this act.
00:08:20Serves him right.
00:08:27One day, you'll regret what you did today.
00:08:31Let's hope so.
00:08:42Father, are you okay?
00:08:44I'm sorry.
00:08:46It's okay, Damon.
00:08:47Everyone looks down on you.
00:08:49But I know you're destined for greatness.
00:08:53I just fear you'll have to walk this road alone.
00:08:57No, Father.
00:08:58Your illness can be cured.
00:08:59All we need is the Grand Revival Pill.
00:09:02The Grand Revival Pill?
00:09:05The legendary pill that can reverse fate itself?
00:09:10Damon, it's impossible.
00:09:12The Grand Revival Pill is a grade 9 medicine.
00:09:15In my entire life, I've never even seen a grade 7 medicine, let alone grade 9.
00:09:19But I've heard that Celestial Academy's Treasury once had a Grand Revival Pill.
00:09:23Celestial Academy's Treasury?
00:09:26It seems so.
00:09:27But we have no way to get in.
00:09:30I can enter the Grand Marshal Trials.
00:09:33If I make the top 4, I'll have access to the Treasury.
00:09:36But there's only one spot in the Trials.
00:09:38Command Realm Cultivators and above will be entering.
00:09:41It is incredibly dangerous.
00:09:43I won't allow it.
00:09:47Okay, Father.
00:09:48I won't go.
00:09:49Please stay calm.
00:09:51I have to enter that Trials.
00:09:52It's not just for the pill.
00:09:54I want everyone to know my name.
00:10:01Leah, you're back.
00:10:03Yes.
00:10:03Did you sort things out with Damon?
00:10:05You two were once very close.
00:10:07I don't want people getting the wrong idea about you two.
00:10:10I gave him the breakthrough pill.
00:10:12Call it even.
00:10:13I see.
00:10:14Good.
00:10:15Greetings, my dear father-in-law.
00:10:17Mr. Wagner, that title doesn't fit yet.
00:10:20Mr. Wagner, hearing that from you caught me off guard.
00:10:23We'll be family soon enough.
00:10:25It's nothing.
00:10:26Leah, is everything settled?
00:10:28Yes.
00:10:29I hope the breakthrough pill gets him past Ignition Realm.
00:10:33Good.
00:10:34I heard the Larsons kicked out that loser and his father.
00:10:36No one's heard from them since.
00:10:38I hope you forget about him.
00:10:40Don't let him come between us.
00:10:43Our betrothal was arranged by Miss Palmer.
00:10:46I must obey her.
00:10:47I know.
00:10:47I know that already.
00:10:55Miss Palmer.
00:10:57Greetings, Miss Palmer.
00:10:59Miss Palmer.
00:10:59Please get up.
00:11:00Miss Palmer, what brings you here?
00:11:03I sensed something strange here the other day.
00:11:05I came to investigate.
00:11:07Something strange?
00:11:08It seems there's a powerful cultivator here.
00:11:10If you call someone powerful, they're definitely not ordinary.
00:11:13Their cultivation may surpass even mine.
00:11:20Surpass yours?
00:11:22How is that possible?
00:11:23Everyone knows there are only three at the very top.
00:11:27Myra Palmer of Caldris, Cyrus Vale of Ardina, and Ian Hicks of Westerio.
00:11:32Finding anyone stronger than the three seems impossible.
00:11:35Beyond the three is the Sacred Lord, and beyond the Sacred Lord lie the nine realms.
00:11:40This world is full of wonders.
00:11:42Who can say for sure?
00:11:43Miss Palmer, there hasn't been a powerful cultivator here in many years, let alone one stronger than you.
00:11:49You...
00:11:50Perhaps I'm mistaken.
00:11:52Since arriving here, I haven't sensed any spiritual energy above Grand Zenith Realm.
00:11:56In seven days, the Grand Marshal Trials will draw people from Ardina and Westerio.
00:12:01Don't embarrass me.
00:12:03We won't let you down.
00:12:05Rest assured, Miss Palmer.
00:12:10The father's condition is critical.
00:12:13He can't miss his prescription.
00:12:20But I don't have any money.
00:12:30I'll borrow from the pharmacy tonight.
00:12:39Was I really mistaken?
00:12:49I'll borrow from the pharmacy tonight.
00:12:53Stealing herbs?
00:12:55I didn't think I'd encounter such a vile man here.
00:13:22Don't be mistaken.
00:13:24My father is seriously ill.
00:13:26I'm just borrowing some herbs.
00:13:28I'll pay it back when I can.
00:13:29What a ridiculous excuse.
00:13:31You think I'll believe that?
00:13:32How about this, Miss?
00:13:34I'll take what I need, and you pretend you never saw me, okay?
00:13:38You just called me Miss.
00:13:39Well, you're young.
00:13:40What else would I call you?
00:13:42How about this?
00:13:43If you turn yourself into the guards, I'll act like none of this ever happened.
00:13:50Don't you think you're being a bit nosy?
00:13:52If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't bother.
00:13:54Now that I have, I can't ignore it.
00:14:07You're not strong enough to break it.
00:14:10Is that so?
00:14:12Ignition Realm's stage 10 power should do it.
00:14:26Impossible.
00:14:27I've never seen such a powerful Ignition Realm cultivator.
00:14:30What's so bad about Ignition Realm?
00:14:33Do you despise it?
00:14:35I'll place another seal.
00:14:37If you break through it, I'll let you go.
00:14:44His foundation may be solid, but this seal can't be broken without Command Realm power.
00:14:56How did you do it?
00:14:57You've only reached the Ignition Realm.
00:15:04That's none of your business.
00:15:06As you promised, you'll let me go.
00:15:08Apologies.
00:15:10I'm trying it again.
00:15:16You really think I'm a pushover?
00:15:18If you feel wronged, break through the seal and attack me.
00:15:23She's so annoying.
00:15:25Let me show her a bit of power.
00:15:27Ignition Realm stage 30.
00:15:33I've been at the Academy for too long.
00:15:35I had no idea Ignition Realm could be this strong.
00:15:38Could he be the source of the anomaly?
00:15:42But that can't be possible.
00:15:44He's only made it to the Ignition Realm.
00:15:46The gap between realms is impossible to overcome.
00:15:50Could he be...
00:15:54Grandfather, Father, I won't let you down.
00:15:56Trust me, I'll make the top 50.
00:15:58Making the top 100 at the Grand Marshal Trials would be a great honor for our family.
00:16:07The age limit is 29.
00:16:09Anyone older is not eligible.
00:16:11Anyone who lies about their age does so at their own risk.
00:16:14Please take note.
00:16:33Another Command Realm cultivator.
00:16:35How many so far today?
00:16:37He's the 7th.
00:16:38This year's Grand Marshal Trials will be 11.
00:16:44Ethan Larson, age 24.
00:16:47Command Realm stage 2.
00:16:4824 years old and Command Realm stage 2?
00:16:51Impressive.
00:16:52He's the Larson's young heir.
00:16:53Looks like the Larson's are on the rise.
00:16:55He's Nigel Bolton, the Bolton's heir.
00:16:58I've heard he's a rare prodigy.
00:17:00The kind that only appears once in ages.
00:17:02I wonder what realm he's reached.
00:17:05Nigel Bolton, age 24.
00:17:08Command Realm stage 4.
00:17:09Command Realm stage 4?
00:17:11That's close to Zenith Realm.
00:17:12The younger generation or something else.
00:17:14Do you think we'll see a Zenith Realm cultivator younger than 30?
00:17:17A Zenith Realm cultivator younger than 30?
00:17:19Isn't that a stretch?
00:17:26Leah Watson, age 23.
00:17:29Zenith Realm stage 1.
00:17:31Oh my god.
00:17:32There really is.
00:17:34She's the top female cultivator in Cauldress.
00:17:36She's truly awe-inspiring.
00:17:51Tom Wagner, age 25.
00:17:54Zenith Realm stage 2.
00:17:58He's Cauldress' number 1.
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:01Tom Wagner and Miss Palmer's mentee, Leah Watson.
00:18:04What a perfect pair.
00:18:11Next.
00:18:13She's quite a beauty.
00:18:15If she caught your eye, go say hello.
00:18:18Very funny, Leah.
00:18:19The world may be full of beauty, but you're all I want.
00:18:31Anya Ross, age 22.
00:18:34Zenith Realm stage 2.
00:18:46Anya Ross?
00:18:48The Ross family?
00:18:49Looks like Ardina sent her.
00:18:50Given the situation, competition is fierce.
00:18:5222 years old and already at Zenith Realm stage 2.
00:18:55Incredible.
00:18:56She's young and breathtaking.
00:18:58She resembles Miss Palmer in her prime.
00:19:00Hey, you've got good taste.
00:19:02Next.
00:19:04I'll go.
00:19:13What?
00:19:14How is that possible?
00:19:15Plitten Hall, age 27.
00:19:18Zenith Realm stage 3.
00:19:20Today has gone far beyond what I expected.
00:19:23Command Realm cultivators are everywhere.
00:19:25But now we've got someone at Zenith Realm stage 3.
00:19:29F*** it.
00:19:29Why are we even here?
00:19:32I'm out.
00:19:34Me too.
00:19:35This year's Grand Marshal Trials isn't going to be easy.
00:19:38Anya Ross is the top talent from Ardina.
00:19:41Clinton Hall is the top talent from Westerio.
00:19:43They are both formidable.
00:19:44Then there's Nigel Bolton from the Bolton family.
00:19:47People say they have a secret technique that rapidly boosts cultivation.
00:19:50The level he showed today may not be his full strength.
00:19:52Any more participants?
00:19:54If not, registration for this year's trials will be closed.
00:20:06Me.
00:20:08Me.
00:20:17Did he...
00:20:18Did he come because of me?
00:20:21Why would he do this?
00:20:22Why doesn't he understand?
00:20:24You should be the last one.
00:20:25Go ahead and get tested.
00:20:27You'll be grouped according to your strength.
00:20:29A Ignition Realm loser like you actually dares to step up?
00:20:32Easy.
00:20:32That's a bit harsh.
00:20:33He doesn't seem so bad.
00:20:35Just from his bearing, he feels like someone approaching Zenith Realm.
00:20:38I'm afraid he's going to disappoint everyone.
00:20:40He's a loser kicked out by my family.
00:20:44He's still at Ignition Realm.
00:20:45He was quite the prodigy in his youth.
00:20:48He meditated at one and a half years old, formed his energy core at three, and became
00:20:51a cultivator.
00:20:52He formed his energy core at three?
00:20:54Now that you mention it, I recall that it shook the whole Eternal Continent.
00:20:58But time passed, and people forgot.
00:21:00And it's been 20 years.
00:21:01He hasn't broken past Ignition Realm yet.
00:21:03At this point, is he a genius, or just a fool?
00:21:08Poor guy.
00:21:09So it's him.
00:21:10I was 11 at the time.
00:21:12I had just formed my own energy core.
00:21:14I heard that someone in Cowdress had formed their energy core at three, and it really got
00:21:17to me.
00:21:18Too bad he doesn't continue to stand out.
00:21:48Damn, what's going on?
00:21:50Has he been hiding his strength this whole time?
00:21:53This doesn't feel like Ignition Realm level at all.
00:21:59I...
00:22:00Is this real?
00:22:01What does that question mark mean?
00:22:02Is it because his level is too low to register?
00:22:06I got my hopes up for nothing.
00:22:08What a waste.
00:22:10Why does it only show stage?
00:22:12It's not showing which stage.
00:22:13How am I supposed to log this?
00:22:20If no stage is shown, he's not even stage one.
00:22:23He's only at the base of the Ignition Realm.
00:22:25That's just sad.
00:22:26He reached the Ignition Realm at three, and at 23, he's still there.
00:22:30The definition of a lost cause.
00:22:32All right.
00:22:32I'll just put down stage one.
00:22:36Damon Larson, Ignition Realm.
00:22:38Stage one.
00:22:42Bold of him to enter with just Ignition Realm, stage one.
00:22:45His childhood sweetheart breaks off their engagement.
00:22:48Then his family kicks him out.
00:22:50He must have snapped.
00:22:51Poor guy.
00:22:52He's hit rock bottom.
00:22:55Damon, you don't have to do this.
00:22:58Don't have to do what?
00:23:00We've gone our separate ways.
00:23:02Why continue to go through this?
00:23:04And this trial is full of elite fighters.
00:23:06If something happens to you, what will your father do?
00:23:11Don't bother.
00:23:12That's none of your business.
00:23:14I'm entering this trial for myself.
00:23:20Don't flatter yourself.
00:23:22Stubborn guy.
00:23:23I know what you're really after.
00:23:25You're trying to ruin yourself just to make Leah feel guilty, don't you?
00:23:29So that's it.
00:23:30I'm actually kind of moved.
00:23:32What kind of sob story is this?
00:23:34You got kicked out of the Larson family.
00:23:37And still comes here to embarrass yourself.
00:23:39Ruin yourself to make her feel guilty?
00:23:41What's wrong with you?
00:23:43That's stupid.
00:23:43Do you want to die?
00:23:44Do it then. Kill me.
00:23:46Think you can manage it?
00:23:49Cocky!
00:23:50All registered participants cannot fight outside the trial.
00:23:53Violators will be disqualified.
00:23:55Lucky you. You get to live another day.
00:23:57It starts tomorrow.
00:23:57You'd better pray we don't meet.
00:23:59Tell that to yourself.
00:24:05You!
00:24:07When you lack strength, attitude is all you've got.
00:24:10He's actually kind of interesting.
00:24:12But what a shame.
00:24:13He won't last long being that bold.
00:24:16I actually think he's kind of great.
00:24:18If his cultivation could match that attitude, I'd be happy to get to know him.
00:24:24He's a dead man walking.
00:24:25Let him have his fun.
00:24:27Everyone, the trial starts tomorrow.
00:24:30No matter the outcome, I'd like to be friends with all of you.
00:24:33I've arranged a banquet.
00:24:34Nothing too fancy.
00:24:35I hope everyone can come.
00:24:37I'll be there.
00:24:39I was just wondering where to stay tonight.
00:24:41Well, if I don't go, that would make me look aloof.
00:24:45Come, Leah.
00:24:47Miss Palmer's calling for me.
00:24:49I'll have to pass.
00:24:52Everyone, right this way.
00:25:00The Stone Monument Shattered.
00:25:09The Ranking Stone was made from a meteor.
00:25:12It'd been around for 10,000 years.
00:25:14I can't believe it.
00:25:15Shattered today.
00:25:16Wasn't it fine just now?
00:25:17How did this happen?
00:25:18Could it be because it was overused today?
00:25:21Was it because of that arrogant guy who tested last?
00:25:23What he did was pretty frightening.
00:25:25No way.
00:25:26He couldn't have possibly done this.
00:25:28The stone must have crumbled from within due to old age.
00:25:30Everyone, please follow me.
00:25:34Greetings, Miss Palmer.
00:25:35Why have you summoned me so urgently?
00:25:37The trial's registration has ended, hasn't it?
00:25:40Yes, Miss Palmer.
00:25:41Did you encounter anyone unusual?
00:25:43Or someone whose cultivation seemed different from the rest?
00:25:47I don't think there was anyone like that.
00:25:49But there are many powerful cultivators.
00:25:52Fortunately, I've reached the Zenith Realm.
00:25:55Otherwise, I'd struggle to place well.
00:25:57A powerful cultivator?
00:25:58He broke through my triple binding seal with ease.
00:26:01A cultivator who could achieve such a feat
00:26:04must be near the grand Zenith Realm.
00:26:06But that's still far below your realm.
00:26:08Why did you call him powerful?
00:26:09That's not the point.
00:26:10The point is, he broke through my triple binding seal
00:26:14while only being in the Ignition Realm.
00:26:16Ignition Realm?
00:26:17Damon Larson, Ignition Realm.
00:26:20Stage 1.
00:26:26How could that be possible?
00:26:28What is it?
00:26:29Nothing.
00:26:29I was just thinking.
00:26:30Logically speaking, it's impossible for an Ignition Realm cultivator
00:26:34to break through your triple binding seal.
00:26:36Yes, that's if it's logically speaking.
00:26:38My worry is that this person defies logic.
00:26:41Alright, I want to give you a word of advice.
00:26:43You must tread carefully.
00:26:45If you encounter this person, treat him with respect.
00:26:47Do not make an enemy of him.
00:26:49I find him very intriguing.
00:26:52Understood, Ms. Palmer.
00:26:53The Grand Marshal Trials proceeds in order
00:26:55from lowest to highest cultivation realm.
00:26:58All participants, please remember your designated round.
00:27:01I hope he'll know better and not show up today.
00:27:08Well, well, that young man actually came.
00:27:11He sure is fearless.
00:27:12Why did he bother showing up?
00:27:13I heard that because you all joined.
00:27:15Many Ignition Realm cultivators withdrew.
00:27:16There were over 3,000 entrants,
00:27:18but fewer than 100 people show up today.
00:27:20In that case, we're already in the top 100
00:27:23without even competing.
00:27:24It's all thanks to everyone's formidable authority.
00:27:26The most formidable of all would have to be you,
00:27:29a Zenith Realm Stage 3 cultivator.
00:27:31Everyone else isn't far behind, so don't flatter me.
00:27:33I underestimated you to think you actually showed up.
00:27:43Damon, as your cousin, even though you've been disowned,
00:27:46I'll bury you when you die.
00:27:47First match, Troy Zeller, Command Realm Stage 1
00:27:50versus Damon Larson, Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:27:54Nice.
00:27:55My luck is pretty good.
00:27:56With this, I'm guaranteed to place top 50.
00:27:59Ignition Realm Stage 1 versus Command Realm Stage 1?
00:28:02That's a difference of five stages.
00:28:04He's done for.
00:28:05I almost don't have the heart to watch.
00:28:07He was so arrogant yesterday,
00:28:08yet he might lose miserably later.
00:28:14What are you doing?
00:28:16It's not your turn yet.
00:28:17Please don't disrupt others.
00:28:19Sir, according to the rules,
00:28:20in the early matches,
00:28:21opponents should be of equal cultivation realms.
00:28:23How can someone at Ignition Realm Stage 1
00:28:25compete against a Command Realm cultivator?
00:28:27There were originally over 800 Ignition Realm cultivators,
00:28:30but Zenith Realm cultivators like you drove them away.
00:28:32He's the only Ignition Realm participant
00:28:34left in the Grand Marshal Trials.
00:28:35So how can I assign equally?
00:28:36But this isn't just crossing stages.
00:28:38It's crossing realms.
00:28:40There's nothing I can do unless he withdraws on his own.
00:28:43How about this?
00:28:44I'll ask him.
00:28:48Damon, the gap between you and your opponent is too great.
00:28:51I advise you to withdraw.
00:28:58Hey, just withdraw.
00:29:01There's no point competing.
00:29:03I won't withdraw.
00:29:05Let's not waste time and begin now.
00:29:07Fine.
00:29:08Since you refuse to withdraw,
00:29:10the trials will proceed as scheduled.
00:29:15Damon, are you really this ungrateful?
00:29:19Ungrateful?
00:29:20You're the last person who can call me that.
00:29:23It seems like there's history between them.
00:29:29Leah, you need to be mindful of the circumstances.
00:29:33Damon, since you refuse to listen,
00:29:35from this moment on, I'll no longer look out for you.
00:29:38Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.
00:29:40It had nothing to do with you anyway.
00:29:43Go ahead and make a fool of yourself.
00:29:48Very well.
00:29:49Since you refuse to withdraw,
00:29:51the trials will proceed as scheduled.
00:29:59Start!
00:30:01In case you say I bully you,
00:30:04I'll spot you three moves.
00:30:05Come at me.
00:30:06That guy is so condescending.
00:30:08In Ignition Realm Stage 1,
00:30:10even if Damon gives everything he's got,
00:30:12he still can't injure a Command Realm Cultivator.
00:30:14Exactly.
00:30:14The gap between realms cannot be bridged.
00:30:17That Ignition Realm Cultivator
00:30:19might even hurt himself from the recoil.
00:30:26Stage 10
00:30:46This...
00:30:47This brat...
00:30:49It's impossible.
00:30:50How...
00:30:51How on earth did he do that?
00:30:54What just happened?
00:30:55Am I seeing things?
00:30:57That Ignition Realm Cultivator seems pretty strong.
00:31:01How odd.
00:31:02He's only in the Ignition Realm,
00:31:04yet he defeated his opponent with one punch.
00:31:06Unbelievable.
00:31:07Don't be confused, everyone.
00:31:08If I'm not mistaken,
00:31:09he used Meridian Tap just now.
00:31:12Meridian Tap?
00:31:14Yes.
00:31:15Focusing all energy into one point,
00:31:18he hit an Accu Point,
00:31:19which disrupted his opponent's core.
00:31:21That broke his opponent's defense,
00:31:23allowing him to win.
00:31:24I've always known that he has superhuman strength.
00:31:27His opponent underestimated him.
00:31:29That explanation...
00:31:31makes sense.
00:31:36Announce the result.
00:31:40Damon Larson wins!
00:31:43Damon Larson wins!
00:31:52Hey, let's get acquainted.
00:31:54I'm Anya Ross from the Ross Family in Ardina.
00:31:57I hope we can be friends.
00:32:00The spiritual energy within that crystal
00:32:03is enough to boost anyone below the Zenith Realm
00:32:05by a full stage.
00:32:07Miss Ross is certainly generous.
00:32:09With that spirit crystal,
00:32:11that guy should be able to enter the Command Realm.
00:32:17Miss Ross,
00:32:19associating with someone this worthless
00:32:21will only lower your standing.
00:32:24I wish to befriend this young man.
00:32:26What has that got to do with you?
00:32:29Miss Ross,
00:32:30I only meant to offer a word of advice.
00:32:33Why aren't you accepting Miss Ross' generous gift?
00:32:35Everyone, it's my turn.
00:32:37Make way.
00:32:37I've done nothing to deserve it.
00:32:50There's no need to give it to me.
00:32:56He actually rejected me?
00:32:58That guy isn't just arrogant,
00:33:00but he also has high principles.
00:33:01I can't believe he dismissed Miss Ross' friendship.
00:33:05That's how he's always been.
00:33:07He hates owing anyone anything.
00:33:12He's too full of himself.
00:33:14I'll let him live another day.
00:33:16Next match.
00:33:17Nigel Bolton,
00:33:18Command Realm Stage 4
00:33:20versus
00:33:21Caleb Locke,
00:33:22Command Realm Stage 4.
00:33:25Everyone,
00:33:26it's my turn.
00:33:27Make way.
00:33:30Mr. Bolton,
00:33:32everyone knows you're perverse
00:33:34and spoiled.
00:33:35I'll teach you a lesson
00:33:37on this stage today.
00:33:39All right,
00:33:39come on then.
00:33:41A match between equals
00:33:43should be worth watching.
00:33:45Let's hope so.
00:33:52We're in the same
00:33:53cultivation realm,
00:33:54but why,
00:33:55why can't I injure you at all?
00:33:57Mr. Wagner,
00:33:58are all cultivators
00:33:59from Caldress
00:34:00this terrifying?
00:34:01Even I feel
00:34:02there are more talents
00:34:03to be found here.
00:34:04Keep training.
00:34:12Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:21Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:25Tom Wagner wins!
00:34:29Anya Ross
00:34:31wins!
00:34:41I won!
00:34:43I advanced!
00:34:45I advanced to the next round!
00:34:47The top 50
00:34:48of the Grand Marshal Trials
00:34:49have been decided.
00:34:51Round 2
00:34:52will be held tomorrow.
00:35:00Damon,
00:35:01you've been coming home
00:35:02late lately.
00:35:03What have you been doing?
00:35:05Me?
00:35:06I've been out
00:35:07gathering herbs for you.
00:35:08Where do you think
00:35:09these come from?
00:35:10I know you're hurting inside.
00:35:12Leah betrayed you
00:35:13despite what you've done
00:35:14for her.
00:35:14But you're still young.
00:35:16As long as you live
00:35:17an honest life,
00:35:17even if you have to be
00:35:18an ordinary man,
00:35:19you'll find love again someday.
00:35:21Just like your mother
00:35:22mother and I did.
00:35:25I've heard your love story
00:35:26so many times
00:35:27that I can memorize it.
00:35:28But mother has been away
00:35:29for so many years.
00:35:30We haven't heard
00:35:31from her since.
00:35:36She's not coming back.
00:35:38You still won't tell me
00:35:39where mother is?
00:35:44Don't blame me.
00:35:46I have my reasons.
00:35:48Fine.
00:35:51Drink the rest of your medicine.
00:35:56If only I could see you
00:35:57get married before I die.
00:36:00Don't say that.
00:36:02Not even medicine
00:36:03can shut you up.
00:36:07Who's there?
00:36:08Anya Ross
00:36:09from the Ross family
00:36:10in Ardina.
00:36:17Damon, you...
00:36:19It's you.
00:36:20How can I help you?
00:36:22Aren't you going
00:36:22to invite me in?
00:36:24Now isn't a good time.
00:36:26She sounds lovely.
00:36:27I was worried
00:36:28you'd still be hung up
00:36:29on Leah.
00:36:30But you've already
00:36:31found a new target.
00:36:37Father,
00:36:38it's not what you think.
00:36:39I'm not so far gone
00:36:41that I need you
00:36:41taking care of me.
00:36:42A girl's here to meet you.
00:36:44Go on.
00:36:44Get me a grandchild
00:36:45by next year.
00:36:48Father...
00:36:48Go, go.
00:36:49Don't make me hit you.
00:36:50Father's so happy
00:36:51that he looks much energetic.
00:36:53Never mind.
00:36:54I'll please him.
00:36:55All right.
00:36:56I'm heading out.
00:36:57Go!
00:36:59Mr. Lawson,
00:37:00I came to find you today
00:37:01to apologize
00:37:02for what happened that day.
00:37:03Apologize?
00:37:04What for?
00:37:05I took out the spirit crystal
00:37:07and said I wanted us
00:37:08to get acquainted.
00:37:09It was rather forward of me.
00:37:11Please accept my apology.
00:37:13Ms. Ross,
00:37:14there's no need for that.
00:37:15I was out of line as well.
00:37:17Then from this point on,
00:37:18consider us officially acquainted.
00:37:22It's my honor to be acquainted
00:37:24with the heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:33The heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:40Anya?
00:37:41What is she doing
00:37:42with that nobody?
00:37:44What a coincidence,
00:37:46Ms. Watson,
00:37:46Mr. Wagner.
00:37:48You two are...
00:37:54We are.
00:37:56What do you mean by that,
00:37:57Ms. Watson?
00:38:00N-nothing.
00:38:11We're on a stroll,
00:38:13just like you two are.
00:38:14I'm not familiar with Kaldris,
00:38:16so I had Damon show me around.
00:38:23What?
00:38:23What's going on?
00:38:25Did Damon get together with Anya?
00:38:27Did you two know each other before?
00:38:30Before?
00:38:31No,
00:38:32but I think Damon
00:38:33is a great person.
00:38:35Ms. Ross,
00:38:35you should be more careful.
00:38:37You're not familiar with Kaldris,
00:38:39so you may be unfamiliar
00:38:40with some people either.
00:38:42Mr. Wagner,
00:38:43what are you implying?
00:38:45Be careful
00:38:46not to be led astray.
00:38:48Thank you for your concern,
00:38:50Mr. Wagner,
00:38:51but perhaps you should focus
00:38:52on Ms. Watson instead.
00:38:54Damon,
00:38:54let's go.
00:38:55Sure.
00:39:02She even called him
00:39:03so sweetly.
00:39:04What a disgusting person.
00:39:05He's incompetent,
00:39:06so he resorted
00:39:07to charming young girls.
00:39:08Anya is the heir
00:39:09to the Ardena Royals,
00:39:11and she's in the Zenith Realm
00:39:12Stage 2.
00:39:13Someone like her
00:39:14wouldn't be easily deceived.
00:39:16Looks like
00:39:16she's really in love
00:39:18with Damon.
00:39:19Leah,
00:39:19High Cultivation Realm
00:39:21doesn't mean high wisdom.
00:39:22Anya may be gifted,
00:39:23but she's young
00:39:24and inexperienced.
00:39:25It's not surprising
00:39:26that she got deceived
00:39:27by Damon.
00:39:27Maybe.
00:39:28But so what
00:39:29if he got together
00:39:30with Anya?
00:39:31It no longer
00:39:32has anything to do
00:39:33with us.
00:39:34You're right.
00:39:35It has nothing
00:39:35to do with us.
00:39:37Um,
00:39:38Mr. Wagner,
00:39:39I feel unwell.
00:39:40I've got to go.
00:39:46Damon,
00:39:48I'll make sure
00:39:49you lose everything.
00:39:56You owe me a favor now.
00:39:59Oh?
00:40:00How so?
00:40:01Didn't you see it?
00:40:02The look on their faces earlier
00:40:05were priceless.
00:40:07That was unnecessary.
00:40:08She's nobody to me now.
00:40:10I don't care.
00:40:11Either way,
00:40:12you owe me a favor.
00:40:13I thought you were being serious.
00:40:14Come on, Damon.
00:40:16I was just putting on a show for you.
00:40:18Don't read too much into it.
00:40:19In Cauldrus,
00:40:20it's a serious matter
00:40:21when a woman asks a man out for a stroll
00:40:23and holds his hand.
00:40:26You're acting like I took advantage of you.
00:40:28Fine, then.
00:40:29Let's get straight to the point.
00:40:30Why did you look for me today?
00:40:32Do you have to be so blunt?
00:40:34It's better to be clear.
00:40:35Otherwise,
00:40:36I won't know how to act around you.
00:40:38Others may not see it,
00:40:39but my instincts tell me
00:40:40you have a unique potential.
00:40:44Everyone else dismisses me as worthless,
00:40:46yet you think I have potential?
00:40:48What do you mean?
00:40:49I managed to reach Sanithralm Stage 2
00:40:51at a young age
00:40:52by following my instincts entirely.
00:40:55Therefore,
00:40:56I'd like to invite you
00:40:58to join the Ardina Royals
00:40:59as a mentee.
00:41:02Becoming a mentee of the Royals
00:41:04should be an honor to you.
00:41:06And one day,
00:41:07if you were to receive
00:41:08our leader's blessing,
00:41:10I guarantee you'd rise above.
00:41:16I have no desire to be bound
00:41:18to any person or faction.
00:41:19I appreciate the offer,
00:41:20but I'll pass.
00:41:21It's not that I want to recruit you.
00:41:23The Royals performed a divination.
00:41:25You must join us.
00:41:26Or else...
00:41:27Or else what?
00:41:28If you refuse to become
00:41:29a mentee of the Royals,
00:41:30you will become
00:41:31the Royals' enemy.
00:41:33I'll become the Royals' enemy?
00:41:35It's just a divination.
00:41:36Isn't that far-fetched?
00:41:37The Royals' divination
00:41:38has never been wrong.
00:41:40So what you're saying is,
00:41:41if I decline your invitation
00:41:42to join the Royals,
00:41:44I'll become the Royals' enemy?
00:41:45You can see it that way.
00:41:47And if I become an enemy
00:41:48of the Ardina Royals,
00:41:49what will happen to me?
00:41:51You'll die.
00:41:53In the end,
00:41:54nothing is ever pure.
00:41:55I had a small hope
00:41:57of having a pure friendship,
00:41:58but I was wrong.
00:41:59Join the Royals,
00:42:01and we'll be friends.
00:42:02Although you're only
00:42:03in the Ignition Realm,
00:42:04I won't look down on you,
00:42:05and there are many resources
00:42:06I can share with you,
00:42:08like techniques,
00:42:09artifacts,
00:42:09and pills.
00:42:10Sorry,
00:42:11I'm not interested.
00:42:12Are you sure?
00:42:13I don't mind
00:42:14staying poor.
00:42:17What a pity you're obstinate.
00:42:19I have no choice
00:42:20but to follow the Royals' orders
00:42:21and eliminate you.
00:42:22The Grand Marshal Trials
00:42:24begins now.
00:42:25First match of the day,
00:42:26Damon Larson,
00:42:27Ignition Realm Stage 1
00:42:29versus Ethan Larson,
00:42:30Command Realm Stage 2.
00:42:35Command Realm Stage 2
00:42:37is six full stages
00:42:38above Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:42:40He'll definitely lose this round.
00:42:43Didn't he send a Command Realm
00:42:44Stage 1 Cultivator
00:42:45flying last round?
00:42:46He might still have a chance here.
00:42:48Damon only landed that ambush
00:42:49because he used Meridian Tap.
00:42:51This time,
00:42:51not if his opponent is smart.
00:42:53You're right.
00:42:54They look like cousins, though.
00:42:56I wonder if Ethan would hold back.
00:42:58Ethan,
00:42:59you don't need to show any mercy
00:43:00to a family disgrace like him.
00:43:03Don't worry, Father.
00:43:04I suffered for so long
00:43:05because Father always favored Sean.
00:43:08Now,
00:43:08I'll make your son pay for it.
00:43:10Seems the heavens
00:43:11aren't on your side.
00:43:12You had to face me
00:43:13on your second day.
00:43:14Damon,
00:43:15you've got really terrible luck.
00:43:17Ethan's brimming
00:43:18with killing intent.
00:43:19He's clearly going for the kill.
00:43:21But what does that
00:43:22have to do with me?
00:43:23If he's in any danger,
00:43:25Anya will be there
00:43:26to save him.
00:43:30Too bad I don't get to kill him.
00:43:32Are you sure
00:43:33I'm the unlucky one
00:43:35and not you?
00:43:36Brag all you want,
00:43:37but let me warn you,
00:43:38Meridian Tap won't work on me
00:43:40and I won't leave you
00:43:41any openings.
00:43:42Now I'll show you
00:43:43what true desperation feels like.
00:43:50Wait.
00:43:51That doesn't feel like
00:43:52Command Realm Stage 2.
00:43:53Looks like he's already reached
00:43:55Command Realm Stage 3.
00:43:56In just two days,
00:43:58he's broken through
00:43:58a whole stage.
00:43:59This time,
00:44:00Damon's done for.
00:44:01Scared now?
00:44:02Shaking already?
00:44:04It's too late
00:44:05for you to surrender now.
00:44:06The gap between us
00:44:07isn't something
00:44:08raw strength
00:44:08can make up for.
00:44:10Ethan,
00:44:11enough talk.
00:44:12Finish him.
00:44:13Damon,
00:44:14I'll kill you today
00:44:15in the name of the Larsons.
00:44:23Ignition Realm,
00:44:24Stage 15,
00:44:25Burst.
00:44:42One punch again!
00:44:44How did Ignition Realm Stage 1
00:44:45beat Command Realm Stage 3
00:44:47with a single punch?
00:44:48After all,
00:44:48that's seven full stages apart.
00:44:50What's going on?
00:44:51How is that possible?
00:44:54Ethan!
00:44:55Ethan!
00:45:02Announce it.
00:45:03Damon wins.
00:45:05Damon,
00:45:06how dare you shatter
00:45:07Ethan's meridians?
00:45:08I'll kill you.
00:45:10Are you sure you want to
00:45:11disrupt Celestial Academy's
00:45:12grand martial trials?
00:45:14He was out to kill me.
00:45:16I already showed mercy
00:45:17by only crippling his meridians.
00:45:19I simply don't want
00:45:20to kill my own kin.
00:45:22Otherwise,
00:45:23he'd already be dead.
00:45:25Ethan,
00:45:26my son,
00:45:26I will not rest
00:45:27until I avenge you.
00:45:28His technique is highly unusual.
00:45:30He's clearly only in the Ignition Realm,
00:45:32yet he's unleashing power
00:45:33beyond the Command Realm.
00:45:34Could he have the same mentor
00:45:35as you, Nigel?
00:45:36That's not possible, Clinton.
00:45:38My techniques are exclusive
00:45:40to the Boltons.
00:45:41No outsider could ever learn them.
00:45:43Anyway,
00:45:44I still can't understand
00:45:45how he defeated
00:45:46a Command Realm
00:45:47Stage 3 cultivator.
00:45:53Looks like I've got
00:45:54one more opponent
00:45:54to watch out for now.
00:45:56You're being too cautious, Clinton.
00:45:58No matter what,
00:45:59he's only in the Ignition Realm.
00:46:01He's still no match
00:46:02for the Zenith Realm.
00:46:03The gap between these two realms
00:46:05is simply too vast.
00:46:07Then tell me, Nigel,
00:46:09you're only in the Command Realm,
00:46:11so why are you so confident?
00:46:13Because I am different.
00:46:15I suppose I've underestimated him.
00:46:18In the next round,
00:46:19Nigel Bolton,
00:46:19Command Realm Stage 4
00:46:21against Brian McCann,
00:46:22Zenith Realm Stage 1.
00:46:24I'm up.
00:46:43I shouldn't have underestimated Nigel.
00:46:46He's one realm lower than Brian,
00:46:47but there's no fear in him.
00:46:49We finally get to see
00:46:49a Zenith Realm cultivator in action.
00:46:51The Grand Marshal Trials
00:46:52were first organized
00:46:53for young talents
00:46:54to exchange combat skills,
00:46:56but over the years,
00:46:57it has evolved
00:46:57into a true battleground.
00:46:59There are so many
00:47:00rising stars this year,
00:47:01it's becoming more and more
00:47:02unpredictable
00:47:03who will win this tournament.
00:47:04You may begin.
00:47:05I'm used to fighting
00:47:06with a sword.
00:47:07You?
00:47:13This fan in my hand
00:47:14is enough.
00:47:15Interesting, Mr. Bolton.
00:47:17I won't hold back
00:47:19just because you're
00:47:20one realm below me.
00:47:21I will fight
00:47:22with everything I have
00:47:23as a Zenith Realm Cultivator.
00:47:26As you wish.
00:47:27I can take it.
00:47:29Here I come.
00:47:43For centuries,
00:47:44the Boltons have been
00:47:45the strongest family in Kaldrus.
00:47:47They've lived up to their legacy.
00:47:48It's a spectacle to behold.
00:47:50The Zenith Realm Cultivator
00:47:52was defeated?
00:47:53Why do I feel
00:47:54that the idea of realm difference
00:47:55is becoming increasingly
00:47:57blurred in this era?
00:48:02Nigel wins.
00:48:07Leia, if you're matched
00:48:09against Nigel,
00:48:10just withdraw.
00:48:12What makes you so sure
00:48:13I can't defeat him?
00:48:21Phantom Fall.
00:48:25That was the last match
00:48:27for today.
00:48:28Leia wins.
00:48:30Tomorrow, the top four
00:48:32will be decided.
00:48:33Those who advance
00:48:34will enter Celestial Academy
00:48:35and meet Ms. Palmer.
00:48:38Make the most
00:48:38of this opportunity.
00:48:44Father,
00:48:44you have to avenge Ethan.
00:48:47Avenge?
00:48:48What do you expect me to do?
00:48:50That bastard Damon
00:48:51crippled Ethan's Meridians.
00:48:53Are we letting him
00:48:54get away with it?
00:48:58Ethan's your grandson, too.
00:49:01Damon should have shown restraint.
00:49:03Father, don't forget.
00:49:04You were the one
00:49:05who drove him and Sean away.
00:49:06By family rules,
00:49:07once they leave the household,
00:49:09they're no longer family.
00:49:10Grandfather,
00:49:11if you don't avenge me,
00:49:12I...
00:49:12I'd rather die.
00:49:15Nonsense!
00:49:16What are you even saying?
00:49:17Damon's at the Grand Marshal Trials,
00:49:19so he's under the Academy's protection.
00:49:21I wouldn't dare
00:49:22cause trouble right now.
00:49:23We could approach the Academy
00:49:24or even see Ms. Palmer ourselves
00:49:26and get Damon disqualified.
00:49:27Once that happens,
00:49:28he'll be on his own.
00:49:29They're fighting for the top four tomorrow.
00:49:32Even the weakest
00:49:33is in the Zenith realm.
00:49:34Damon will be out soon enough.
00:49:36So why go to Ms. Palmer at all?
00:49:39It's unnecessary.
00:49:45You're right, Father.
00:49:47Ethan,
00:49:47we'll see what happens tomorrow.
00:49:49If he dies during battle,
00:49:51so be it.
00:49:52If he's not dead,
00:49:53I'll bring him here myself
00:49:55for you to deal with.
00:49:56Father,
00:49:57what do you think?
00:49:59Proceed.
00:50:01By the way,
00:50:02aren't you a little too weak?
00:50:04I sacrificed so many family artifacts
00:50:06to help you improve your cultivation,
00:50:08yet you still lost to Damon,
00:50:11who's only in the Ignition Realm.
00:50:13You've really disappointed me.
00:50:15Grandfather,
00:50:16I lost because I was ambushed.
00:50:18If you give me another chance,
00:50:21I'll tear him to pieces.
00:50:25Father,
00:50:26Ethan's meridians were shattered.
00:50:28He can only be healed
00:50:29with a Grade 7 Reforge pill.
00:50:31At his current level,
00:50:32if he takes a Reforge pill,
00:50:34he could recover fully
00:50:35and even break through
00:50:36to the Zenith realm.
00:50:41A 7th grade pill,
00:50:43it won't come easily,
00:50:44especially something that rare.
00:50:46You only have this one grandson left.
00:50:49You can't just watch him become a cripple.
00:50:52No matter what it takes,
00:50:54even if I must use
00:50:55all of the family's resources,
00:50:56I will heal him.
00:51:00Ms. Ross,
00:51:01Damon refuses to join
00:51:02the Ardina Royals,
00:51:03so a death order for him
00:51:05has been issued.
00:51:06Damon does have
00:51:08some unique moves,
00:51:09but he's no threat
00:51:10to the Ardina Royals.
00:51:12Why don't you report this back?
00:51:15Ms. Ross,
00:51:16you know the rules.
00:51:17The Royals
00:51:18never revoke their orders.
00:51:23If that's the case,
00:51:24give me a little more time.
00:51:26If he's still alive
00:51:27after the trials,
00:51:29I'll speak with him again.
00:51:31If he dies in a match,
00:51:32we won't need to do anything.
00:51:33He's got a lot of enemies
00:51:35after all.
00:51:38All right,
00:51:39we'll go with your plan.
00:51:41Since we're in Cauldrus,
00:51:43it won't be easy
00:51:43to make a move
00:51:44against him either.
00:51:45Still,
00:51:46I need to remind you
00:51:47of the Ardina Royals'
00:51:48ultimate rule.
00:51:49You either join them
00:51:50or you die.
00:51:52I understand.
00:51:58Damon,
00:51:59don't you dare
00:52:00let me down.
00:52:02father's been ill
00:52:03for so long.
00:52:05Even with my stage
00:52:06one million cultivation,
00:52:08I still can't heal him.
00:52:09I must make it
00:52:10into the top four
00:52:10so I can meet Miss Palmer
00:52:12and ask for her help.
00:52:14If she refuses,
00:52:15no matter what I do.
00:52:16Damon?
00:52:18Are you there, Damon?
00:52:19father,
00:52:20I'm right here.
00:52:22Your eyes.
00:52:23Is he going blind already?
00:52:26Nothing.
00:52:27Just a bit blurry.
00:52:29Don't worry about me.
00:52:30By the way,
00:52:31how are things
00:52:32with the lady
00:52:32from last time?
00:52:34We're fine.
00:52:35She's a nice woman.
00:52:36Father's been holding on
00:52:37so I wouldn't worry.
00:52:39I should just go along
00:52:40with him.
00:52:41Really?
00:52:42Wow,
00:52:42that's great news.
00:52:43She said she wants
00:52:44to meet you
00:52:45in a few days.
00:52:45so you must get
00:52:47healthier when she comes.
00:52:49Of course.
00:52:50In these two days,
00:52:51I'll eat well and rest.
00:52:53I won't embarrass you.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:56Father,
00:52:57don't you worry.
00:52:58I'll bring you
00:52:59the Grand Revival pill.
00:53:14Who...
00:53:15Who's that?
00:53:16Why are you here?
00:53:18Mr. Larson,
00:53:19what happened to you?
00:53:21It's you,
00:53:22Ms. Watson.
00:53:23You haven't answered me.
00:53:25Why the hell
00:53:26are you here?
00:53:28Why are you here?
00:53:33How did it escalate
00:53:34into this?
00:53:35Mr. Larson's condition.
00:53:39Father,
00:53:40I need to talk to Leah.
00:53:41You rest here.
00:53:42Oh,
00:53:44then...
00:53:44go ahead.
00:53:46I'll be right here.
00:53:51I'm here to ask you
00:53:53to withdraw from the trials.
00:53:54I won't do that.
00:53:56If that's all you have to say,
00:53:57you can go now.
00:53:58Don't be stubborn, Damon.
00:54:00It's the top four selection next.
00:54:02The ones left
00:54:03are all powerful cultivators.
00:54:05You'll die if you fight them.
00:54:06If something happens to you,
00:54:07who will take care of your father?
00:54:09Even if I live on,
00:54:10how long do you think
00:54:12he has left?
00:54:13I...
00:54:13He was already sick.
00:54:14But if we hadn't been
00:54:16driven out from our home,
00:54:17his illness wouldn't have
00:54:18worsened so quickly.
00:54:19I'm so sorry.
00:54:21I never knew the damage
00:54:23I caused you
00:54:23was this severe.
00:54:25There's one more thing.
00:54:26From the way Anya
00:54:28looked at you that day,
00:54:29she must.
00:54:30I won't withdraw
00:54:31from the trials.
00:54:32And...
00:54:33And don't pretend
00:54:34you still care about me.
00:54:39It's disgusting.
00:54:50Today, the top four
00:54:52will be decided.
00:54:53Best of luck to all of you.
00:54:54This may be a friendly contest,
00:54:56but lethal force
00:54:57is permitted.
00:54:57Victory or defeat
00:54:58will be decided
00:54:59by your skills
00:55:00and fate.
00:55:04In the first match,
00:55:06Clinton Hall,
00:55:06Zenith Realm,
00:55:07Stage 3
00:55:08against Damon Larson,
00:55:10Ignition Realm,
00:55:11Stage 1.
00:55:11This is a clash
00:55:12between the highest
00:55:13and lowest ranked cultivators.
00:55:16This should be interesting.
00:55:18Very interesting.
00:55:19Hmm.
00:55:20Clinton's one of the
00:55:21air candidates
00:55:22to Mr. Hicks
00:55:23of Westerio.
00:55:24He's unlikely
00:55:24to go for the kill.
00:55:27Damon may seem
00:55:28unlucky this round,
00:55:29but in truth,
00:55:30he's actually
00:55:32quite lucky.
00:55:33Mr. Wagner,
00:55:35what do you mean?
00:55:36If he were up
00:55:36against me,
00:55:37he might not
00:55:38leave the arena alive.
00:55:43Mr. Wagner,
00:55:44you sure sound confident.
00:55:46I'm just stating a fact.
00:55:48Trash will forever
00:55:49remain useless.
00:55:51This isn't the final match,
00:55:53and he's already
00:55:53facing the strongest.
00:55:55That guy in the Ignition Realm
00:55:56has probably run
00:55:58out of luck.
00:55:58Making the top ten
00:56:00already puts the
00:56:00odds in his favor.
00:56:02Top four?
00:56:03Impossible.
00:56:04What if he can?
00:56:06I just hope
00:56:06his loss today
00:56:07can be a life lesson
00:56:08for him.
00:56:09So I'll be the one
00:56:10to fight him.
00:56:12Beating him
00:56:13means nothing to me.
00:56:14You guys
00:56:15are the ones
00:56:16I actually want to face.
00:56:18No rush.
00:56:19After you defeat him,
00:56:20we'll still get our chance.
00:56:23All right.
00:56:24Anyway,
00:56:25be prepared
00:56:25not to lose to me.
00:56:27You never know
00:56:28when we'll face
00:56:28each other.
00:56:38I thought you'd surrender.
00:56:41Surrender?
00:56:42I'm sorry,
00:56:43but that will never happen.
00:56:44I truly respect
00:56:46your great courage.
00:56:47I never meant
00:56:48to belittle you.
00:56:49No offense.
00:56:49You say you respect me,
00:56:51but you're looking down on me.
00:56:53As cultivators,
00:56:54we must stay true to ourselves,
00:56:56mustn't we?
00:56:57You're right, Damon.
00:56:59If that's the case,
00:57:00then I shall fight you
00:57:01with everything I have.
00:57:03I won't hold anything back.
00:57:06Go ahead.
00:57:07You may begin.
00:57:14Heaven's palm.
00:57:17I take back
00:57:18what I said about Damon's luck.
00:57:19I thought Clinton
00:57:20would spare his life,
00:57:21but Clinton's
00:57:22clearly getting serious.
00:57:23He even used
00:57:23Wisterio's ultimate technique.
00:57:25By the looks of it,
00:57:26he's going all out.
00:57:27Is that really necessary?
00:57:28That guy is only
00:57:29at Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:57:31Clinton's just
00:57:32wasting his energy.
00:57:33Clinton's only
00:57:34fulfilling Damon's
00:57:35death wish.
00:57:35If that's what
00:57:36Damon wants,
00:57:37no one can stop him.
00:57:38Too bad.
00:57:40Danger incoming, Damon.
00:57:45Why?
00:57:46Why isn't he dodging?
00:57:49Maybe he's
00:57:50too stunned to react.
00:57:53Activating Ignition Realm
00:57:54Stage 40.
00:58:15Heaven's palm.
00:58:21His cultivation is impressive,
00:58:24but Stage 40
00:58:25should be enough
00:58:27to defeat him.
00:58:41Why did it stop?
00:58:43Why did it stop?
00:58:43What happened?
00:58:44He seems to have
00:58:45countered Clinton's move.
00:58:47I don't think so.
00:58:49Why did it stop?
00:58:52I'm not sure.
00:58:53I have a strange feeling
00:58:54about him.
00:58:55And it's not the first time
00:58:56I felt this way.
00:58:58What happened?
00:58:59My cultivation was
00:59:00dispersed instantly,
00:59:01like a butterfly
00:59:02going against a strong wind.
00:59:04How...
00:59:04How strong is he, really?
00:59:06Or am I too weak?
00:59:08Continue.
00:59:10I...
00:59:11The current me
00:59:12may not be strong enough yet.
00:59:13Everything sees him
00:59:16as weak,
00:59:16but his cultivation
00:59:17is extremely strong.
00:59:19Everyone has
00:59:19misunderstood him.
00:59:22I...
00:59:23Surrender.
00:59:24Are you sure?
00:59:26Yes.
00:59:27Announce it.
00:59:29In this match,
00:59:31Damon...
00:59:32wins.
00:59:41Give me one year.
00:59:42By the end,
00:59:43I'll fight you again.
00:59:47I will...
00:59:48be waiting.
00:59:53Clinton,
00:59:54what's going on?
00:59:55Why throw the match?
00:59:56You guys think
00:59:56I threw the match?
00:59:58We know you're
00:59:59kind and generous,
01:00:00but you didn't have
01:00:01to do that for him.
01:00:04I threw the match?
01:00:06Isn't that the case?
01:00:07You people
01:00:08are interesting.
01:00:10Interesting.
01:00:15Many seem upset
01:00:16that I won.
01:00:19But I enjoy
01:00:20seeing you all upset.
01:00:25Damon,
01:00:26you'd better hope
01:00:27you don't face me later,
01:00:28because I won't show you
01:00:30any mercy.
01:00:31Damon's changed.
01:00:32He's gotten bolder
01:00:33than before.
01:00:34Maybe I had a part
01:00:35in that too.
01:00:36Did that weak cultivator
01:00:37just make it
01:00:38into the top four
01:00:39and even get the chance
01:00:40to meet Miss Palmer?
01:00:42This is practically
01:00:43a miracle.
01:00:44If Miss Palmer
01:00:44likes him
01:00:45and grants him
01:00:45her blessings,
01:00:46his life might be
01:00:47changed for the better.
01:00:48I know, right?
01:00:49I shouldn't have quit.
01:00:51Others may not
01:00:52have seen it,
01:00:53but Clinton
01:00:53did lose to him.
01:00:55I finally understand
01:00:56the royal's concern now.
01:00:58I'm sorry, Damon.
01:00:59This is out of my hands.
01:01:08Miss Ross gave her orders.
01:01:09Let's settle this.
01:01:18In the next match,
01:01:19Leah Watson,
01:01:20Zenith Realm Stage 1
01:01:21against Anya Ross,
01:01:24Zenith Realm Stage 2.
01:01:57Finally,
01:01:58I get to fight
01:01:58Caldris' top
01:01:59female cultivator,
01:02:00I'm actually
01:02:01a little nervous.
01:02:02Your cultivation realm
01:02:03is above mine.
01:02:05I should be
01:02:05the nervous one.
01:02:06We're only one stage apart.
01:02:08It's not that big
01:02:09of a gap.
01:02:10So, Leah,
01:02:10let's fight with...
01:02:12With swords.
01:02:18Azure Blade?
01:02:20Doesn't that belong
01:02:21to Miss Palmer?
01:02:23So she's passed it
01:02:24along to Miss Watson.
01:02:25Miss Watson's
01:02:26indeed her favorite.
01:02:32Snow Veil is also
01:02:33one of the finest swords.
01:02:35Miss Watson is
01:02:36one stage below
01:02:37Miss Ross.
01:02:38Aren't you worried?
01:02:39I am,
01:02:40but Leah is strong too.
01:02:41That's my girl
01:02:42after all.
01:02:43Let's begin.
01:02:47Let's begin.
01:02:49Let's begin.
01:03:07Father, I'm back.
01:03:10Father.
01:03:13Father.
01:03:14Father.
01:03:17He's getting weaker
01:03:18and weaker now.
01:03:20I'm one of the top
01:03:20four now.
01:03:21I'll be able to enter
01:03:22Celestial Academy soon.
01:03:23I must get the
01:03:24Grand Revival pill.
01:03:28Father.
01:03:30Damon?
01:03:31You...
01:03:32You're back.
01:03:33Yeah.
01:03:34You should rest more.
01:03:36Okay.
01:03:37I feel really sleepy too.
01:04:00Who are you?
01:04:02What do you want?
01:04:03What do you want?
01:04:10Isn't he in the lowest realm?
01:04:11Why is he so strong?
01:04:13Both of us are in the
01:04:14Zenith realm.
01:04:15So how could he hold us
01:04:17down with just his
01:04:18spiritual power?
01:04:19You still haven't
01:04:20answered me.
01:04:21Who sent you to kill me?
01:04:23Mission failed
01:04:24due to bad intel.
01:04:30Trying to kill
01:04:30yourselves now?
01:04:31Too bad I'm your target.
01:04:34Unless you give me
01:04:34what I want
01:04:35you won't die
01:04:36an easy death.
01:04:50Between Kaldris
01:04:51and Ardina's
01:04:52top female cultivators
01:04:53who will win this match?
01:04:54Who even cares?
01:04:56At least it's a treat
01:04:56to watch them fight.
01:05:11She's lost.
01:05:12What a pity.
01:05:14Leah's one stage
01:05:15below her after all.
01:05:17The fact that she could
01:05:18hold against Miss Ross
01:05:19for so long
01:05:20is already commendable.
01:05:21In this match
01:05:22Anya wins.
01:05:27Leah, you fought well.
01:05:30I admit defeat.
01:05:32You're too humble.
01:05:33If you were at stage two,
01:05:35I'd have lost in three rounds.
01:05:37Anyway, you're a
01:05:38Miss Palmer student.
01:05:39Today's loss won't keep
01:05:40you from the academy.
01:05:42That's right.
01:05:49Tom Wagner wins.
01:05:57You're pretty strong
01:05:58but just too dumb.
01:06:00Nigel Bolton wins.
01:06:02The top four
01:06:03has been decided.
01:06:05Tomorrow you'll get
01:06:05to enter Celestial Academy
01:06:07and meet
01:06:07Miss Palmer.
01:06:14Did you follow my orders
01:06:15and lose to the lady
01:06:17from Ardina?
01:06:18Yes, Miss Palmer.
01:06:19I pretended to lose
01:06:21and gave nothing away.
01:06:23The Ardina Royals
01:06:23and Celestial Academy
01:06:25have been enemies
01:06:25for centuries.
01:06:26Though we've coexisted
01:06:27peacefully in recent decades,
01:06:29unrest still brews
01:06:30in secret.
01:06:31We must stay on guard.
01:06:32We must probe
01:06:33their movements subtly
01:06:34and learn their true intentions.
01:06:36You're right, Miss Palmer.
01:06:37Ardina has been ambitious.
01:06:38We must be careful.
01:06:39One of the top four
01:06:41is Nigel Bolton.
01:06:43The Boltons.
01:06:44Another one is Damon.
01:06:46Why does that name
01:06:47sound so familiar?
01:06:48When you first came
01:06:49to the academy,
01:06:49you always talked
01:06:50about a Damon.
01:06:51Are they the same man?
01:06:52Um, yes, they are.
01:06:54So he's your childhood sweetheart.
01:06:57But from what I heard,
01:06:58he's a useless man
01:06:59with very low cultivation.
01:07:01He actually made it
01:07:02into the top four
01:07:02of the trials.
01:07:04Unbelievable.
01:07:05He's just lucky.
01:07:07He always gets by
01:07:08through luck.
