00:03What? You said how many people came to this? All in our gathering?
00:09For our rough estimate, over a thousand talents have entered Midland in the last two days.
00:14Among them, renowned heroes, number over 80.
00:21Two days! Just two days! And it rallied over a thousand talents!
00:27And 80 heroes that even our North Viet court couldn't win over!
00:33Isn't this, obviously, a slap in my noble face?
00:42It looks like I, the king, should just step down and hand everything to the All-Knower!
00:48Your Majesty, please calm down!
00:51Calm down? It's been ten years!
00:54I've ordered you to catch the All-Knower for ten years!
00:58But you haven't even gotten...
01:01You just watched the All-Knower's power grow by the day and shake the North Viet court!
01:09You fools! You hideous morons!
01:13Father, calm down. Your health comes first.
01:17Our plan is airtight this time.
01:19I will make sure he can't get away.
01:24Well then, since the straightforward way won't work, then we play by his rules.
01:32Erika, you excel in both mind and combat.
01:35Enter Deer Academy first and secure a spot to join this year's gathering.
01:39Then make sure you take the gathering champion to draw him out!
01:43The moment he appears is when the All-Knower will be finished!
01:48My father, you're brilliant!
01:55Mr. Carter, tell me, is this North Viet All-Knower really that amazing?
02:00Huh? He knows everything under the sun?
02:04Sir, you may not know, All-Knower's power is far beyond that.
02:09Otherwise, why would His Majesty send someone like you to travel so far from Oran across the border to North
02:16Viet to get him?
02:17With anyone else, they probably wouldn't even get near him.
02:21That impressive?
02:27I wonder if he can solve my problem.
02:32Well, I'm afraid your problem is near impossible for us.
02:37But for the All-Knower, it's a simple one-sentence fix.
02:42Hmm.
02:43Then I really should meet him.
02:47So you're saying, as long as I take the top spot in the gathering, hosted by All-Knower, I can
02:53ask him face-to-face to answer one question, and he'll definitely solve it, right?
02:57Yes.
02:58Yes, that's correct, sir.
03:00However, if you miss this one time, it's another five years.
03:04So, Mr. Shaw, you make sure that you win this gathering.
03:19That's North Viet's scholar's paradise.
03:21This entrance ceremony is so lively.
03:24Hey, why are there five empty chairs?
03:28Hey, you must be from out of town.
03:30Those aren't just ordinary chairs.
03:33Therefore, this year's Deer Five.
03:35The Deer Five?
03:38Hmm?
03:40I thought you knew.
03:42Every year, Deer Academy picks the top five from the new students as a Deer Five, according to scholarship, martial
03:49skill, family, power, and wealth.
03:51Each class's Deer Five are taught by Vice Dean Larson personally, and they also get the best resources and become
03:57the model for everyone.
03:58Hey, that's not all.
03:59I heard this year's All-Knower Gathering invited the five directly.
04:04As long as you make the five, you skip the prelims and go straight to the gathering to meet the
04:09All-Knower.
04:11Holy crap!
04:12No wonder there are so many students this year.
04:14I wonder which five the Academy will pick as the new Deer Five.
04:17Move!
04:18Make way!
04:19Move!
04:27You're the sole heir of the powerful Wesleys.
04:31A top progeny ranked 28th on the Scholars list and 16th on the Marshall list.
04:36This year's top spot among the five is basically yours.
04:40Oh, man!
04:41It's actually him!
04:43The Wesley's eldest son!
04:45Yeah!
04:46I didn't expect he would even come!
04:48If not to get a gathering slot, this little Deer Academy wouldn't even be worth my time.
04:55Hmph.
04:57Your Highness, everything at Deer Academy has said.
05:00If you become one of the five, you can meet the All-Knower directly?
05:05That's much easier.
05:07It looks like I'm going to take one of those seats today.
05:14You?
05:15You better stop daydreaming.
05:17Every year's five are absolute monsters.
05:20There are countless students this year.
05:23Picking five out of so many, they won't choose a nobody like you.
05:28Only the clueless are fearless.
05:30Can you believe this guy?
05:32That's so crazy.
05:34Silence.
05:35Silence.
05:36The entrance ceremony is about to begin.
05:39Students, please, follow the instructions and line up an order.
05:43Hey.
05:43What?
05:44What is going on?
05:45What's going on?
05:46What are they doing?
05:48I'm so crazy.
05:49What is this?
05:51Hey!
05:52Over there!
05:55Juan, those with a thousand acres at home, step forward.
06:00Fuck.
06:11Two.
06:12Those who came by carriage, step forward again.
06:21What does this mean?
06:22It's an unwritten rule across all North Viet academies.
06:26Sorting students into tiers by power, money, name and status.
06:29Even in the same academy, students in different tiers get very different resources.
06:35I used to think Deer Academy could break the mold.
06:38Turns out...
06:43So snobbish.
06:45Those with four-wheeled two-horse carriages.
06:47Those with fifth rank, step forward again.
06:50Official at home or above.
06:51Those with Duke merit, step forward again.
06:53Step forward.
06:56Hey!
06:57Hey!
06:58Hey!
06:58Get back!
06:59Get back!
07:00Hey!
07:02Where are you trying to stand?
07:03I...
07:04Uh...
07:05Um...
07:06I don't know.
07:07How did you get here?
07:08How many attendants did you bring?
07:11I walked here.
07:14Attendants?
07:15None.
07:16This is my buddy.
07:19Move aside.
07:20Not even one attendant.
07:21Get to the very back.
07:22Get lost!
07:23Hey!
07:24Come on!
07:24Go!
07:25Get out of here!
07:26Get old!
07:26Get out of there!
07:27Come on!
07:28You...
07:29You...
07:29Well, well!
07:31I gotta take one of the seats!
07:33How'd you end up in the back?
07:35You loser!
07:36Still want a Deer 5 seat?
07:39Keep dreaming!
07:41Okay!
07:44Isn't that the guy who bit against you for the Blackthorn painting?
07:47I thought he had some backing.
07:49Why is he all the way in the back?
07:50Ignore him.
07:51We have bigger things.
07:58Miss, North Viet's court is more wary of us than ever.
08:01Why be so high profile and invite this year's Deer 5 so openly?
08:08I just feel we'll waste those five slots.
08:11Look, this cohort is just so-so.
08:13That frontrunner Tim Wesley does have some skills, but hardly worth your attention.
08:17The others look even more average.
08:19Hey!
08:21Seems just about anyone gets to eye our gathering slots.
08:34But they might not all be average.
08:36Keep watching.
08:45He's the legend of Deer Academy.
08:48I didn't expect he'd pick the five himself today.
08:51The all-knower gathering really has clout.
08:55Everyone, silence.
08:57After our 5-teens thorough review of all new students,
09:01the list of this year's Deer 5 have been confirmed.
09:09Number 5.
09:19Jeremy Todd.
09:20Who?
09:21What is this guy?
09:22I don't know where he is.
09:23This is Jeremy Todd.
09:24Do you know?
09:24He's the only son of the North Viet's richest.
09:27Even he showed up.
09:28Maybe.
09:29He came from the all-knower too.
09:30Yeah.
09:31He's only fifth.
09:32We're screwed for sure.
09:34Just got a pile of cash, huh?
09:36And that gets him fifth?
09:38Huh?
09:39Whoa.
09:40Compared to you, he's no match, of course.
09:42Number 4.
09:43Sam Anderson.
09:46It's actually him.
09:47Sam Anderson.
09:48The sole heir of Mr. Anderson's North Viet's literary titan.
09:51Oh my god.
09:52I thought he'd be second.
09:54Didn't expect he'd only be fourth.
09:56What kind of madhouse is it this year?
09:58Number 3.
09:59Eric Reid.
10:02It's him?
10:03It's him?
10:06A Reid?
10:08In the top three?
10:10Is he an heir to Duke Reid?
10:13Even if he's with Duke Reid,
10:16their power only reaches the Northwest,
10:18compared to Wee Wesley's ruling North Viet.
10:22He's nothing, huh?
10:25That's true.
10:26He's not your match, Mr. Wesley.
10:28Hey.
10:28So we gotta congratulate Mr. Wesley in advance
10:31on taking the top spot of this year's Deer 5.
10:34Number 2.
10:36Kim Wesley.
10:38What?
10:39No way.
10:40He's second?
10:41Wait a minute.
10:42He's second?
10:42No way.
10:43How did he get second?
10:44That's impossible.
10:45Oh my goodness.
10:46No way.
10:46Tim only got the second?
10:49Dean Larson.
10:50Are you sure this is right?
10:52Any problem?
10:53I'm the only son of the Wesleys in the capital.
10:56Ranking 28th on the scholars list,
10:5716th on the Marshall list.
10:59I should be top of this year's Deer 5.
11:01If Tim is second,
11:03then who could be the first?
11:04Who else could it be?
11:05Every year's top either runs the whole court,
11:08or as rich as a nation,
11:09or as insanely talented.
11:10If it's not Tim,
11:11who could it be?
11:13This year's top of the tier 5 is...
11:20Liam Shaw.
11:21Liam Shaw?
11:23Liam?
11:23Who's that?
11:24Liam?
11:25Who's that?
11:25Who's Liam?
11:27Who's Liam?
11:27Who's he even talking?
11:28That's the first time I'm hearing this name.
11:31Who could...
11:32Who's this Liam?
11:33I don't know...
11:33Liam?
11:36Sir!
11:38Sir!
11:39They're calling you.
11:40Huh?
11:41Me?
11:43Liam is the name His Majesty gave you
11:45as a cover for this mission.
11:48Yeah, it's me.
11:50Mr. Carter,
11:51this is your idea of keeping a low profile?
11:53Who knew His Majesty would make such a big deal?
11:59Move! Move!
12:21It's actually him.
12:24Dean Larson.
12:25Are you out of your damn mind?
12:27Don't you know who I am?
12:29I'm the future head and heir of the Westleys
12:31that rule New York Viet.
12:33You!
12:33Let some freaking nobody like him
12:35lord it over me?
12:36Who the heck is he?
12:38Are you blind?
12:39He's in the last row!
12:41Huh!
12:41Whoa!
12:44Even if your father came,
12:45he wouldn't dare be this rude to me!
12:48Hey!
12:49Hey!
12:50Hey!
12:50Hey!
12:51Hey!
12:54Hey!
12:56Hey!
13:00This year's All-Know-er gathering
13:02will be joined by you,
13:04the dear five.
13:05I hope at least one of you
13:07gets a good ranking at the gathering.
13:14You little punk.
13:16Don't think cozying up to Dean Larson
13:18lets you climb over me.
13:20At the gathering in three days?
13:22I'll show you.
13:24You!
13:31We meet again!
13:32Mr. Shaw,
13:33looks can really be deceiving.
13:38Never thought the top
13:39would be the guy
13:40who fought you over that painting.
13:41But he couldn't even afford
13:42a fragment of Master Shaw's painting.
13:44This person
13:45is somebody.
13:48I thought the top of the five
13:49would be someone earth-shattering.
13:51Turns out
13:52it's just this
13:52no-name-nobody.
13:55Interesting.
13:57He's not simple.
13:58Huh?
13:59How is he not simple?
14:00What's special about him?
14:01He's so ordinary,
14:02with no family,
14:03background,
14:04or status,
14:04even stuck in the last row.
14:06Hey!
14:07Miss!
14:10How's it going,
14:12Erika?
14:12Is there anyone
14:14standing in your way
14:15at this gathering?
14:19There is one.
14:20I can't
14:21quite read him.
14:23Huh?
14:25Even you
14:26can't figure him out.
14:27Then should I
14:28send someone in to...
14:31No need,
14:32father.
14:33No need to tip him off.
14:35Within North Viet,
14:36when it comes to strategy,
14:38no one can beat me.
14:48Unless...
14:48Black 4 and Adrienne
14:50shows up.
14:55Miss,
14:56why aren't you
14:57resting yet?
15:02The gathering is coming up.
15:04The North Viet court
15:05has been eyeing on us now.
15:07We can't afford
15:08any slip-ups.
15:09This Liam
15:09is way too odd.
15:11He could be
15:12our biggest wild card.
15:13Miss,
15:14you're being
15:15way too cautious.
15:15I really feel
15:17he's just a normal guy.
15:18Maybe he's related
15:19to that Vice Dean,
15:20so he got a spot
15:22among the dear five.
15:23His background
15:24can't be that simple.
15:25Do you remember
15:26the servant by his side?
15:28Mm-hmm.
15:29That's a eunuch.
15:30A eunuch?
15:31You mean...
15:32I have to figure out
15:34who he really is.
15:35Go look into it yourself.
15:37If anything seems off,
15:38take him down.
15:40Yes.
15:41But remember,
15:42don't kill the innocent.
15:43Okay.
15:58He looks totally
16:00average to me.
16:01Miss must be
16:02overthinking.
16:03Forget it.
16:03Gotta check him out first.
16:05It won't take much
16:05ever anyway.
16:15Whoa.
16:16He even dodged that?
16:18Lucky him.
16:34Fragrant's weakening powder.
16:37Faker.
16:51Faker's a total wimp.
16:57That's it?
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:04No.
17:05No.
17:05No.
17:06No.
17:06Some no-name clan on the frontier.
17:09Figures he's a loser.
17:13You even dare to bother my lady?
17:15This alone is a capital offense.
17:22Even dodge that?
17:23That loser really got lucky.
17:26No way.
17:27You'll keep getting this lucky.
17:30Don't run off.
17:38Sir, are you asleep?
17:41I'm coming in, sir.
17:45Consider yourself lucky.
17:49Miss!
17:51How did it go?
17:52I told you he's a loser.
17:54Don't worry about it.
17:55Here, this is all his info.
17:59That loser sure got lucky.
18:01Earlier today, he became top of the Deer Five.
18:03Even dodged two of my strikes in a row.
18:05If no one had showed up, I'd have finished him.
18:07What did you say?
18:09Huh?
18:10I said that creep got lucky, messing around with some woman in his sleep.
18:14And managed to dodge two of my strikes.
18:16Alright, get some rest.
18:17I'm heading out.
18:21Wait!
18:23What is it?
18:24Why that look?
18:27You're back.
18:33Don't come at me.
18:44He left that?
18:45I knew he wasn't ordinary.
18:48Didn't you say he dodged your silver needles first, then two of your strikes even asleep?
18:55Think about it.
18:56In North Viet, you're at least top free.
18:59How many people can dodge two of your strikes?
19:01No more than three.
19:03Let alone while asleep.
19:13He wrote on your back, without you even noticing.
19:16That means he's far stronger than you.
19:18We must never provoke him again.
19:21No one in North Viet could do that.
19:23He's not from North Viet.
19:25Who?
19:26Is he really?
19:30It's no wonder Adrien's admired by all North Viet prodigies.
19:36This landscape scroll may be incomplete, but the brushwork is lively with deep spirit.
19:43Every ink stroke carries true mastery.
19:46It's basically priceless.
19:49Your Highness, someone just snuck into Liam's room at the time.
19:54Oh?
19:55Looks like it's not just me whose eye is on him.
19:59Should I go and test him?
20:01No need.
20:03Whoever he is, he can't stop me from taking first at this year's gathering and bringing the all-knower into
20:11face justice.
20:12Even if Adrien, who can paint such a jaw-dropping piece, shows up himself.
20:17I believe I can still put up a fight.
20:40I don't know who's going to be embarrassed later, but someone lost face at the ceremony.
20:51I don't know who's going to be, right?
20:54Boil.
20:54You!
21:00Arrogant!
21:00Do you want to make a bet?
21:02Hmm.
21:03Let's bet on today's gathering rankings.
21:05Whoever comes last crawls between the other's legs, and then admits that I'm the head of the five in front
21:09of the whole academy.
21:10Crawling under legs is boring.
21:12Let's raise the stakes.
21:13The loser strips and runs three laps around Deer Academy, shouting while running,
21:18Liam is my grandpa.
21:22Hmm?
21:24Fine.
21:25Deal.
21:26Get ready to call me grandpa.
21:29Ha ha ha.
21:30Ha ha.
21:31Ha ha.
21:36Ha ha.
21:37Ha ha.
21:38Ha ha.
21:52That was the all-knower.
21:54The all-knower?
21:56Is it actually a woman?
21:59That figure.
22:01Adrian, come here.
22:03Mom!
22:05Why does that figure feel so familiar?
22:09Welcome, everyone, to this year's gathering.
22:12This year's contest has three rounds.
22:15The all-knower will grant the champion one request for free.
22:18Also, those who make the top ten will become honored guests of the all-knower for the next five years,
22:24and any intel they seek is half-price.
22:27What?
22:28Half-price?
22:29That's the all-knower's intel.
22:30If we can make it to the top ten, this trip will be worth it.
22:34She's the all-knower, right?
22:35Your highness, should we...
22:37Don't rush.
22:39This is the all-knower's turf.
22:41If we act rashly, we might tip them off.
22:43This is our only chance.
22:51He's here.
22:52Looks like this year's gathering is going to be interesting.
22:57The gathering starts now!
23:03Round one.
23:04Items contest.
23:05Items?
23:06What kind of contest is this?
23:11Liam, you might not know.
23:13Huh?
23:14There are countless treasures in the world.
23:16But what can catch the all-knower's eye are few and far between.
23:21So this round is about whose gifts the all-knower will accept.
23:25As long as your gift is taken by the all-knower, you pass.
23:30Huh?
23:31Damn.
23:32So you mean I have to beg her to take my gift?
23:35Eh, watch your mouth.
23:37Tons of people out there are dying to give the all-knower gifts.
23:41But can't get a foot in the door.
23:43After all, getting the all-knower to unconditionally help with one thing is the truly priceless thing in this world.
23:50Ha ha ha.
23:51She can really do anything.
23:53Since the all-knower appeared, every request she agreed to has never once failed.
23:59I'm screwed.
24:00I didn't prepare anything.
24:05This night's pearl of mine is worth a fortune.
24:11This is the top western jade from the western regions.
24:14Worth a lot.
24:18Ha ha ha.
24:19This is the vault key of my golden house.
24:22A symbol of everything golden house owns.
24:26In terms of value, no one can beat this, right?
24:30Ha ha ha.
24:30The entire golden house?
24:32How much is that worth?
24:33A hundred thousand gold?
24:35A million?
24:35Ha ha ha.
24:36Can you broaden your horizons?
24:37That's the vault of Northfield's richest man.
24:40Valued north of ten million gold.
24:45Ha ha.
24:46What?
24:47She still won't go for that?
24:48Ha ha.
24:48This is the richest golden house vault.
24:52Narrow-minded fools.
24:54Everyone.
25:01Let me show you what real treasure looks like.
25:04This is the Lord's jade pendant bestowed by the North Viet royal house.
25:08It symbolizes supreme honor and wealth.
25:11We're this, and there's nowhere in North Viet that you can't go.
25:16Oh, yeah.
25:17That's good.
25:18That's a blessing.
25:19Acceptable.
25:20Accepted.
25:21What?
25:21The wealth that the noble status brings can't be counted.
25:25Mr. Wesley.
25:26Impressive.
25:28Ha ha ha ha ha.
25:29Congrats to Mr. Wesley for advancing.
25:32Ha ha ha.
25:40Hmm.
25:42Royal status is noble, sure.
25:44But what I have here should be the only one in all of North Viet.
25:51Oh?
25:52The original by Master Shaw.
25:54I picked up by chance in the market.
26:01Oh, it's beautiful.
26:09It's only a fragment, but you couldn't buy it for any price.
26:14All-knower, please, accept it.
26:19Hurry!
26:20Make way!
26:20Let me see!
26:26I've studied Master Shaw's paintings for years.
26:29This half-scroll is indeed his true hand!
26:32Whoa!
26:33Oh, she has it!
26:34That's awesome!
26:35Amazing!
26:36My god.
26:37It's actually Master Shaw's original.
26:40Never thought I'd still be alive to see it.
26:42Genuine peace here in North Viet.
26:43Yeah.
26:44Everyone knows Master Shaw's originals are extremely rare.
26:48There's only two or three left in the world.
26:50This is truly priceless.
26:53Looks like this round is a done deal.
26:56Even if it's Master Shaw's original.
26:59It's only half a scroll.
27:02You don't know shit!
27:03Don't insult Master Shaw.
27:05Even a half, it's still in his own hand.
27:07Master Shaw's work is the lifelong pursuit of us scholars.
27:11Even a single character from him is priceless.
27:14Never thought he actually got an original of Master Shaw.
27:20Accepted.
27:21An original by Master Shaw is nearly impossible to find, Mr. Reed.
27:25Everyone, thank you.
27:28Damn!
27:29That counts?
27:30You could have said so.
27:32I'll announce the list of who advances to the next round.
27:37Hold on!
27:39Isn't it just a...
27:46Master Shaw's painting?
27:47I have one too.
27:49And it's not a fragment.
27:51It's a full scroll.
27:54Full scroll?
27:56Liam, do you even know what you're talking about?
27:58This idiot probably doesn't even know who Master Shaw is.
28:02Liam, what do you mean?
28:04Could it be you really have Master Shaw's complete scroll?
28:08Huh?
28:09I do.
28:12Where did this punk come from?
28:14He really is shooting off the mouth.
28:16Exactly.
28:17Even Master Shaw's partial scrolls are extremely rare.
28:20How could some random guy just whip out a complete scroll?
28:24Sir, if you shoot your mouth off at the gathering,
28:27you'll be permanently banned by the all-knower.
28:30Relax.
28:30If I say I have it, that means I do.
28:34Fine.
28:35Then please bring it out.
28:37So we can all appreciate it.
28:40No problem.
28:41Give me half an hour.
28:42I'll go fetch it now.
28:44You...
28:45Liam, the gathering won't tolerate you pulling any tricks.
28:49We'll give you half an hour.
28:51If you can't show it.
28:53The all-knower definitely won't let it slide.
28:57Relax.
28:58He cannot pull any tricks.
28:59I've studied Master Shaw's paintings a lot.
29:03If he brings out a fake, I can spot it at a glance.
29:06Huh.
29:07Hmm?
29:10Sir, even though you're Adrian himself,
29:13we didn't really bring any originals.
29:15You don't have that many paintings to begin with.
29:18There are only two complete scrolls.
29:20The one is in his majesty's study,
29:22and the other was given to Miss Ruby.
29:25Haha.
29:26It'll be here soon.
29:30Uh...
29:30Sir?
29:32Are you planning to...
29:36Hmm.
29:39What do you think?
29:40I can't read him.
29:42He seems to be joking around.
29:45But he could wipe the floor off me.
29:47Still,
29:48there are only two full scrolls by Master Shaw.
29:51He can't possibly bring one out.
30:02Half an hour is almost up.
30:06Liam!
30:08Ready to crawl under my legs?
30:15Now, time's up.
30:18I declare!
30:23Wait!
30:24Wait!
30:25Wait!
30:47Liam!
30:48You don't seriously think that grabbing some random painting
30:52could pass as Master Shaw's original, do you?
30:54Not a single fake can slip past my sharp eyes.
30:57Liam,
30:58think this through.
30:59If you fake it at the gathering,
31:01you'll be permanently barred by the all-knower.
31:04What's real can't be fake.
31:05And what's fake can't be real.
31:10Huh?
31:24Test it any way you want.
31:27Huh.
31:27Then let me check whether this thing is real or not.
31:35Could he actually have Master Shaw's full scroll?
31:38No way.
31:38He definitely dug up some fake to grandstand here.
31:42That guy.
31:43How could a total idiot who pulled strings to get into Deer Academy
31:46possibly have Master Shaw's original?
31:49Right?
31:49Huh?
31:50Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
31:52If he can produce it,
31:53I'll eat crap upside down.
31:55A few days ago,
31:56he was still fighting you for a broken scroll.
31:58How could he show up with a full scroll today?
32:00He's just a clown.
32:02No.
32:03Wait.
32:09How is this possible?
32:13This is...
32:15This is the original?
32:17This really is Master Shaw's original,
32:20and it's the full scroll that's never been seen before.
32:25Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
32:27Oh, really?
32:29This is amazing.
32:30Move.
32:33How is that even possible?
32:35How could he have...
32:40The ink is still wet?
32:43Only two full scrolls of Adrian exist in the world.
32:46I know where both are.
32:47This peak silhouette scroll is indeed Master Shaw's original.
32:50Yet I've never seen it.
32:52Could it be...
32:53Several spots of ink are still wet.
32:55This piece was clearly finished recently.
32:59Could he be?
33:05Miss, what's wrong?
33:09I must be overthinking.
33:11How could Adrian possibly be here?
33:13But this painting...
33:16No way.
33:20Liam, may I ask?
33:23Where did you get this original by Master Shaw?
33:28Uh...
33:30Earlier, I met a girl at a brothel.
33:33She said she's Master Shaw's old mistress, so I paid for it.
33:35I heard Master Shaw often visited brothels
33:38and was close with a girl named Ruby.
33:41Maybe the kid really hit the jackpot.
33:46Then explain why there are several...
33:50ink spots not even dry.
33:58Ah.
34:01Well, it's been the rainy season lately.
34:03It's been damp.
34:04At the bottom of the chest.
34:06So the ink bled.
34:07Ha ha ha.
34:09I almost gave it away.
34:11This is Master Shaw's original.
34:13And you let it get damp?
34:15Do you even know how to store it?
34:16Do you know what to cherish?
34:17Hey, I...
34:22Master Shaw's full-scroll original has resurfaced.
34:25This is the first time I've seen one.
34:26It's a peerless treasure of immeasurable value.
34:29Accept it.
34:30Accept it.
34:34What kind of dumb luck is that?
34:36How did he get Master Shaw's original?
34:38Sir, just now I was way out of line.
34:41Please forgive me.
34:42It's fine.
34:45I didn't expect you could actually bring out Master Shaw's full scroll.
34:50So I assume you came prepared.
34:52I just don't know why you paid such a price to meet the All-Knower.
35:02I want to find someone.
35:09Adrian, you have a sister who's lost out there.
35:12I have searched for her for over 20 years with no trace at all.
35:16I have been keeping it from you.
35:18Now that you are capable, if you can find her, it would bring comfort to your mother in heaven.
35:27Round 2.
35:28Copying Contest.
35:30Today, since Master Shaw's original has resurfaced, we'll give you a chance to copy it.
35:36Next, you have 6 hours to copy this treasure.
35:39Whoever gets closest to the original will take this round.
35:43Copying Master Shaw's painting?
35:45Are you confident?
35:47I had only studied Adrian's half-scroll before.
35:50I thought I could actually contend with him.
35:53But when I saw this full scroll, I realized how small I am.
35:57Luckily, this round is about copying.
36:00I've studied that half-scroll for a long time.
36:02I know Adrian's technique inside and out.
36:05This round, no one can match me.
36:11Mr. Carter, did I hear that right?
36:14What's round 2 testing?
36:16Sir, you didn't mishear.
36:19They're testing copying Master Shaw's work.
36:25What?
36:27Scared?
36:27You did get his original piece last round.
36:31But this round is all copying.
36:33First, your eye.
36:34Second, your brushwork.
36:35But most importantly, you have to internalize it.
36:38The Master's paintings carry a lofty aesthetic effortless charm.
36:41And most people can't imitate it at all.
36:43If you're afraid of looking bad, it's not too late.
36:46Leave now.
36:46Our Mr. Wesleys, a talent ranked 28th on the Scholar's list.
36:51His brushwork is top tier.
36:53You guys are definitely losing today.
36:56Everyone, you can step up to take a close look at Master Shaw's original.
37:05I'm going to take a nap.
37:06Okay.
37:15Hmm.
37:19This fool only got through on luck last round.
37:22See?
37:22He's throwing in the towel before it starts, huh?
37:29Did I really misjudge him?
37:45Mr. Wesleys really is a prodigy.
37:47His strokes are inspired.
37:49These strokes actually carry a hint of Master Shaw's spirit.
38:22Still, Master Shaw's original.
38:23He's a bit of your essence.
38:30One hour left!
38:40Only one hour left.
38:42You still won't start.
38:46One hour?
38:48Wake me up in half an hour.
38:51Got it, sir.
38:56Everyone, since you're done, let's start the judging.
39:01Mr. Wesley's painting is super lifelike.
39:05On par with the Master Painter.
39:07The first place locked in.
39:09My Master's painting is so true to life.
39:12It's freaking masterful.
39:14He's the real number one.
39:19Mr. Wesley's painting is truly exquisite, with a touch of Master Shaw's style.
39:26But Mr. Reed's painting is even more detailed, and captures the spirit even better.
39:32Clearly first place.
39:34This?
39:36I don't know if you can believe that.
39:39You again?
39:41Last round you had the dumb luck to find half of the original.
39:44This round?
39:45He still won up to me?
39:47Why?
39:47Mr. Wesley, calm down.
39:49There aren't many all-around talents like you.
39:51He's definitely no match for you in Round 3's fight.
39:54That's true.
39:57Don't get cocky.
39:58Next round you better not run into me.
40:00Or I'll have you on your knees, begging.
40:03Eric Reed, Tim Wesley, a Jade Scholar, have passed Round 2.
40:09Then, what about him?
40:15Figures he's a total idiot.
40:16The contest is almost over, and he's still fast as-
