00:00:02To be continued...
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.
00:00:55It's better to give this chance to you.
00:00:56I don't want it. If you give this to me, you'll have no way to answer to your family.
00:01:01They might 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.
00:02:01I'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! Stage 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?
00:04:26How have you been?
00:04:28Damon.
00:04:34How have you been?
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.
00:04:48You gave me the chance to study at Celestial Academy.
00:04:52Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.
00:04:55There'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? You mean the Legendary Miss Palmer?
00:05:06So just one more stage, and you'll reach Zenith Realm?
00:05:09Across 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.
00:05:25But 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.
00:06:21Because of you, I was cast out by my family, confined 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.
00:06:37I owe you one.
00:06:38This is a breakthrough pill.
00:06:40A grade six medicine.
00:06:41I 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, I 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, I'm still in Ignition Realm.
00:07:21Grandfather, what are you hoping for?
00:07:23Leah 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.
00:07:38If you don't act now, our family will be shamed.
00:07:42But, Father, we...
00:07:46Enough!
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.
00:08:11Father.
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.
00:08:45It'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.
00:08:56No, 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?
00:09:25It 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 four, 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.
00:10:12I 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 Ms. Palmer.
00:10:45I must obey her.
00:10:47I know.
00:10:47I know that already.
00:10:55Ms. Palmer!
00:10:57Greetings, Ms. Palmer.
00:10:59Ms. Palmer.
00:10:59Please get up.
00:11:00Ms. 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?
00:11:43Ms. 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, Ms. 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?
00:12:53Did I ever change?
00:12:53Stealing herbs...
00:12:55Didn't think I would encounter such a vile man here.
00:13:00By Lees and Gloria
00:13:12The debit mind goes away into that
00:13:15The bank goes without evidence of a strong measure of a pre-A曹息.
00:13:17So what happens when what happens to them are arrivingям all debe and their meals.
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.
00:14:01So you're a cultivator.
00:14:08You're not strong enough to break it.
00:14:11Is that so?
00:14:12Ignition Realm Stage 10 power should do it.
00:14:27I've never seen such a powerful Ignition Realm Cultivator.
00:14:31What'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.
00:14:55How did you do it?
00:14:57You've only reached the Ignition Realm.
00:15:04That's none of your business.
00:15:05As 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.
00:15:39Could 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.
00:16:26Troy Zeller, age 28.
00:16:29Command Realm Stage 1.
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 epic.
00:16:44Ethan Larson, age 24.
00:16:46Command 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, the 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, Zenith Realm Stage 2.
00:17:58He's Cauldress' number one.
00:18:01Yeah, Tom 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, the Ross family, looks 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, but now we've got someone at Zenith Realm Stage 3.
00:19:29F**k 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.
00:19:40Clinton 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.
00:20:07Me.
00:20:08Me.
00:20:08Me.
00:20:08Me.
00:20:09Me.
00:20:10Me.
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.
00:20:43He'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 a 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.
00:21:04At 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 Caldris had formed their energy core at three, and it really got to me.
00:21:18Too bad he doesn't continue to stand out.
00:21:20Too bad he doesn't continue to stand out.
00:21:50Has he been hiding his strength this whole time?
00:21:53This doesn't feel like an ignition down level at all.
00:22:00I...is 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.
00:22:28And at 23, he's still there.
00:22:30The definition of a lost cause.
00:22:32Alright, I'll just put down stage one.
00:22:36Damon Larson, Ignition Realm, stage 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.
00:23:45Kill me.
00:23:46Think you can manage it?
00:23:49Cocky.
00:23:49All registered participants cannot fight outside the trial.
00:23:53Violators will be disqualified.
00:23:55Lucky you.
00:23:56You get to live another day.
00:23:57It starts tomorrow.
00:23:57You better pray we don't meet.
00:23:58Tell that to yourself.
00:24:06You...
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.
00:24:14He won't last long being that bold.
00:24:15I 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.
00:24:23Hmph.
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.
00:24:44Come, 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.
00:25:11It'd been around for 10,000 years.
00:25:13I 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.
00:25:27The 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 must 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 while only being in the Ignition Realm.
00:26:16Ignition Realm?
00:26:17Damon Larson, Ignition Realm! Stage 1!
00:26:26How could that be possible?
00:26:28What is it?
00:26:29Nothing. I was just thinking.
00:26:30Logically speaking, it's impossible for an Ignition Realm cultivator to 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 from 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. He sure is fearless.
00:27:12Why did he bother showing up?
00:27:13I heard that because you all joined. Many Ignition Realm cultivators withdrew.
00:27:16There were over 3,000 entrants, but fewer than 100 people show up today.
00:27:20In that case, we're already in the top 100 without 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, a Xena 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, I'll bury you when you die.
00:27:47First match, Troy Zeller, Command Realm Stage 1 versus Damon Larson, Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:27:54Nice. My luck is pretty good. With 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. He's done for.
00:28:05I almost don't have the heart to watch.
00:28:07He was so arrogant yesterday, yet he might lose miserably later.
00:28:14What are you doing? It's not your turn yet. Please don't disrupt others.
00:28:19Sir, according to the rules, in the early matches, opponents should be of equal Cultivation Realms.
00:28:23How can someone at Ignition Realm Stage 1 compete against a Command Realm Cultivator?
00:28:27There were originally over 800 Ignition Realm Cultivators, but Zenith Realm Cultivators like you drove them away.
00:28:32He's the only Ignition Realm participant left in the Grand Martial Trials. So how can I assign equally?
00:28:36But this isn't just crossing stages, it's crossing realms.
00:28:40There's nothing I can do unless he withdraws on his own. How about this? I'll ask him.
00:28:48Damon, the gap between you and your opponent is too great. I advise you to withdraw.
00:28:59Hey, just withdraw. There's no point competing.
00:29:02I won't withdraw. Let's not waste time and begin now.
00:29:07Fine. Since you refused to withdraw, the trials will proceed as scheduled.
00:29:15Damon, are you really this ungrateful?
00:29:19Ungrateful? You're the last person who can call me that.
00:29:23It seems like there's history between them.
00:29:30Leia, you need to be mindful of the circumstances.
00:29:33Damon, since you refused to listen, from 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.
00:29:47Very well. Since you refused to withdraw, the trials will proceed as scheduled.
00:29:59Start!
00:30:01In case you say I bully you, I'll spot you three moves. Come at me.
00:30:06That guy is so condescending.
00:30:08In Ignition Realm Stage 1, even if Damon gives everything he's got,
00:30:12he still can't injure a Command Realm Cultivator.
00:30:14Exactly. The gap between realms cannot be bridged.
00:30:17That Ignition Realm Cultivator might even hurt himself from the recoil.
00:30:27Stage 10.
00:30:47This... this brat... it's impossible.
00:30:51How... how on earth did he do that?
00:30:54What just happened? Am I seeing things?
00:30:57That Ignition Realm Cultivator seems pretty strong.
00:31:01How odd. He's only in the Ignition Realm, yet he defeated his opponent with one punch. Unbelievable.
00:31:06Don't be confused, everyone. If I'm not mistaken, he used Meridian Tap just now.
00:31:12Meridian Tap?
00:31:15Yes. Focusing all energy into one point, he hit an Accu Point, which disrupted his opponent's core.
00:31:21That broke his opponent's defense, allowing him to win.
00:31:24I've always known that he has superhuman strength. His opponent underestimated him.
00:31:29That explanation... makes sense.
00:31:35Announce the result.
00:31:40Damon Larson wins!
00:31:52Hey, let's get acquainted. I'm Anya Ross from the Ross Family in Ardina. I hope we can be friends.
00:32:00The spiritual energy within that crystal is enough to boost anyone below the zenith realm by a full stage.
00:32:07Ms. Ross is certainly generous.
00:32:09With that spirit crystal, that guy should be able to enter the command realm.
00:32:17Ms. Ross, associating with someone this worthless will only lower your standing.
00:32:23I wish to befriend this young man. What has that got to do with you?
00:32:29Ms. Ross, I only meant to offer a word of advice. Why aren't you accepting Ms. Ross's generous gift?
00:32:35Everyone, it's my turn. Make 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, but he also has high principles.
00:33:01I can't believe he dismissed Ms. Ross's friendship.
00:33:05That's how he's always been. He hates owing anyone anything.
00:33:12He's too full of himself. I'll let him live another day.
00:33:15Next match.
00:33:17Nigel Bolton, Command Realm Stage 4.
00:33:20Versus Caleb Locke, Command Realm Stage 4.
00:33:25Everyone, it's my turn. Make way.
00:33:30Mr. Bolton, everyone knows you're perverse and spoiled.
00:33:35I'll teach you a lesson on this stage today.
00:33:38Alright, come on then.
00:33:41A match between equals should be worth watching.
00:33:45Let's hope so.
00:33:51We're in the same cultivation realm, but why can't I injure you at all?
00:33:57Mr. Wagner, are all cultivators from Caldras this terrifying?
00:34:00Even I feel there are more talents to be found here.
00:34:04Keep training.
00:34:12Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:21Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:26Tom Wagner wins!
00:34:28Anya Ross wins!
00:34:40I won!
00:34:43I advanced!
00:34:45I advanced to the next round!
00:34:47The top 50 of the Grand Marshal Trials have been decided.
00:34:51Round 2 will be held tomorrow.
00:35:00Damon, you've been coming home late lately.
00:35:03What have you been doing?
00:35:05Me? I've been out gathering herbs for you.
00:35:08Where do you think these come from?
00:35:10I know you're hurting inside.
00:35:12Leah betrayed you despite what you've done for her.
00:35:14But you're still young.
00:35:16As long as you live an honest life, even if you have to be an ordinary man,
00:35:19you'll find love again someday.
00:35:21Just like your mother and I did.
00:35:24I've heard your love story so many times that I can memorize it.
00:35:28But Mother has been away for so many years, we haven't heard from her since.
00:35:36She's...
00:35:36Not coming back.
00:35:38You still won't tell me where 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 get married before I die.
00:36:00Don't say that.
00:36:02Not even medicine can shut you up.
00:36:07Who's there?
00:36:08Anya Ross from the Ross family in Ardina.
00:36:17Daemon, you...
00:36:19It's you.
00:36:20How can I help you?
00:36:21Aren't you going to invite me in?
00:36:24Now isn't a good time.
00:36:26She sounds lovely.
00:36:27I was worried you'd still be hung up on Leah.
00:36:30But you've already found a new target.
00:36:37Father, it's not what you think.
00:36:39I'm not so far gone that I need you taking care of me.
00:36:42A girl's here to meet you.
00:36:43Go on.
00:36:44Get me a grandchild by next year.
00:36:48Father...
00:36:48Go, go!
00:36:49Don't make me hit you!
00:36:50Father's so happy that he looks much energetic.
00:36:53Never mind.
00:36:54I'll please him.
00:36:55Alright.
00:36:55I'm heading out.
00:36:57Go!
00:36:59Mr. Lawson, I came to find you today to apologize for what happened that day.
00:37:03Apologize?
00:37:04What for?
00:37:05I took out the spirit crystal and said I wanted us to get acquainted.
00:37:09It was rather forward of me.
00:37:11Please accept my apology.
00:37:13Ms. Ross, there's no need for that.
00:37:15I was out of line as well.
00:37:16Then from this point on, consider us officially acquainted.
00:37:22It's my honor to be acquainted with...
00:37:26The Heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:34The Heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:40Anya?
00:37:41What's she doing with that nobody?
00:37:44What a coincidence, Ms. Watson, Mr. Wagner.
00:37:48You two are...
00:37:54We are?
00:37:55What do you mean by that, Ms. Watson?
00:38:00N-nothing.
00:38:11We're on a stroll, just like you two are.
00:38:14I'm not familiar with Kaldris, so I had Daemon show me around.
00:38:23What?
00:38:23What's going on?
00:38:25Did Daemon get together with Anya?
00:38:27Did you two know each other before?
00:38:30Before?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32But I think Daemon is a great person.
00:38:34Ms. Ross, you should be more careful.
00:38:37You're not familiar with Kaldris, so you may be unfamiliar with some people, either.
00:38:42Mr. Wagner, what are you implying?
00:38:45Be careful not to be led astray.
00:38:48Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wagner, but perhaps you should focus on Ms. Watson instead.
00:38:53Daemon, let's go.
00:38:55Sure.
00:39:02She even called him so sweetly.
00:39:04What a disgusting person.
00:39:05He's incompetent, so he resorted to charming young girls.
00:39:08Anya is the heir to the Ardina Royals, and she's in the Zenith Realm Stage 2.
00:39:13Someone like her wouldn't be easily deceived.
00:39:16Looks like she's really in love with Daemon.
00:39:19Leah, high cultivation realm doesn't mean high wisdom.
00:39:22Anya may be gifted, but she's young and inexperienced.
00:39:25It's not surprising that she got deceived by Daemon.
00:39:27Maybe.
00:39:28But so what if he got together with Anya?
00:39:31It no longer has anything to do with us.
00:39:34You're right.
00:39:34It has nothing to do with us.
00:39:37Um, Mr. Wagner, I feel unwell.
00:39:40I've got to go.
00:39:47Daemon, I'll make sure you lose everything.
00:39:55Daemon, you owe me a favor now.
00:39:59Oh?
00:39:59How so?
00:40:01Didn't you see it?
00:40:02The look on their faces earlier were priceless.
00:40:07That was unnecessary.
00:40:08She's nobody to me now.
00:40:10I don't care.
00:40:11Either way, you owe me a favor.
00:40:13I thought you were being serious.
00:40:15Come on, Daemon.
00:40:16I was just putting on a show for you.
00:40:18Don't read too much into it.
00:40:19In Cauldrus, it's a serious matter when 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.
00:40:31Why 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, I won't know how to act around you.
00:40:37Others may not see it, but my instincts tell me you have a unique potential.
00:40:43Everyone else dismisses me as worthless, yet you think I have potential?
00:40:47What do you mean?
00:40:48I managed to reach Sanathron Stage 2 at a young age by following my instincts entirely.
00:40:55Therefore, I'd like to invite you to join the Ardina Royals as a mentee.
00:41:02Becoming a mentee of the Royals should be an honor to you.
00:41:06And one day, if you were to receive our leader's blessing, I guarantee you'd rise above.
00:41:16I have no desire to be bound to any person or faction.
00:41:19I appreciate the offer, but 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 a mentee of the Royals, you will become the 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 has never been wrong.
00:41:40So what you're saying is, if I decline your invitation to join the Royals, I'll become
00:41:44the Royals' enemy?
00:41:45You can see it that way.
00:41:47And if I become an enemy of the Ardina Royals, what will happen to me?
00:41:51You'll die.
00:41:53In the end, nothing is ever pure.
00:41:56I had a small hope of having a pure friendship, but I was wrong.
00:41:59Join the Royals and we'll be friends.
00:42:02Although you're only in the Ignition Realm, I won't look down on you.
00:42:05And there are many resources I can share with you, like techniques, artifacts, and pills.
00:42:10Sorry, I'm not interested.
00:42:12Are you sure?
00:42:13I don't mind staying poor.
00:42:17What a pity you're obstinate.
00:42:19I have no choice but to follow the Royals' orders and eliminate you.
00:42:22The Grand Marshal Trials begins now.
00:42:25First match of the day, Damon Larson, Ignition Realm Stage 1 versus Ethan Larson, Command Realm Stage 2.
00:42:35Command Realm Stage 2 is six full stages above Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:42:40He'll definitely lose this round.
00:42:43Didn't he send a Command Realm Stage 1 Cultivator flying last round?
00:42:46He might still have a chance here.
00:42:48Damon only landed that ambush because he used Meridian Tap.
00:42:50This time, not if his opponent is smart.
00:42:52You're right.
00:42:54They look like cousins, though.
00:42:56I wonder if Ethan would hold back.
00:42:58Ethan, you don't need to show any mercy to a family disgrace like him.
00:43:03Don't worry, Father.
00:43:04I suffered for so long because Father always favored Sean.
00:43:08Now, I'll make your son pay for it.
00:43:10Seems the heavens aren't on your side.
00:43:12You had to face me on your second day.
00:43:14Damon, you've got really terrible luck.
00:43:17Ethan's brimming with killing intent.
00:43:19He's clearly going for the kill.
00:43:21But what does that have to do with me?
00:43:23If he's in any danger, Anya will be there to save him.
00:43:29Too bad I don't get to kill him.
00:43:33Are you sure I'm the unlucky one and not you?
00:43:36Brag all you want, but let me warn you.
00:43:38Meridian Tap won't work on me and I won't leave you any openings.
00:43:42Now I'll show you what true desperation feels like.
00:43:50Wait.
00:43:51That doesn't feel like Command Realm Stage 2.
00:43:53Looks like he's already reached Command Realm Stage 3.
00:43:56In just two days, he's broken through a whole stage.
00:43:59This time, Damon's done for.
00:44:01Scared now?
00:44:02Shaking already?
00:44:04It's too late for you to surrender now.
00:44:06The gap between us isn't something raw strength can make up for.
00:44:10Ethan, enough talk. Finish him.
00:44:13Damon, I'll kill you today in the name of the Larsons.
00:44:23Ignition Rel. Stage 15. Burst.
00:44:42One punch again!
00:44:44How did Ignition Realm Stage 1 beat Command Realm Stage 3 with a single punch?
00:44:48After all, that's seven full stages apart.
00:44:50What's going on? How is that possible?
00:44:54Ethan!
00:45:02Announce it.
00:45:03Damon wins.
00:45:05Damon!
00:45:06How dare you shatter Ethan's Meridians?
00:45:08I'll kill you!
00:45:10Are you sure you want to disrupt Celestial Academy's Grand Marshal Trials?
00:45:14He was out to kill me.
00:45:16I already showed mercy by only crippling his Meridians.
00:45:19I simply don't want to kill my own kin.
00:45:22Otherwise, he'd already be dead.
00:45:25Ethan, my son, I will not rest until I avenge you.
00:45:28His technique is highly unusual.
00:45:30He's clearly only in the Ignition Realm, yet he's unleashing power beyond the Command Realm.
00:45:34Could he have the same mentor as you, Nigel?
00:45:36That's not possible, Clinton.
00:45:38My techniques are exclusive to the Boltons.
00:45:41No outsider could ever learn them.
00:45:43Anyway, I still can't understand how he defeated a Command Realm Stage 3 Cultivator.
00:45:52Looks like I've got one more opponent to watch out for now.
00:45:56You're being too cautious, Clinton.
00:45:58No matter what, he's only in the Ignition Realm.
00:46:01He's still no match for the Zenith Realm.
00:46:03The gap between these two realms is 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.
00:46:17In the next round, Nigel Bolton, Command Realm Stage 4,
00:46:21against Brian McCann, Zenith 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, but there's no fear in him.
00:46:48We finally get to see a Zenith Realm Cultivator in action.
00:46:51The Grand Marshal Trials were first organized for young talents to exchange combat skills.
00:46:56But over the years, it has evolved into a true battleground.
00:46:59There are so many rising stars this year.
00:47:01It's becoming more and more unpredictable who will win this tournament.
00:47:04You may begin.
00:47:06I'm used to fighting with a sword.
00:47:07You?
00:47:13This fan in my hand is enough.
00:47:15Interesting, Mr. Bolton.
00:47:17I won't hold back just because you're one realm below me.
00:47:21I will fight with everything I have as a Zenith Realm Cultivator.
00:47:25As you wish.
00:47:27I can take it.
00:47:28Here I come.
00:47:43For centuries, the Boltons have been the 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 was defeated?
00:47:53Why do I feel that the idea of realm difference is becoming increasingly blurred in this era?
00:48:02Nigel wins.
00:48:07Leah, if you're matched against Nigel, just withdraw.
00:48:12What makes you so sure I can't defeat him?
00:48:21Phantom Fall.
00:48:25That was the last match for today.
00:48:27Leah wins.
00:48:30Tomorrow, the top four will be decided.
00:48:33Those who advance will enter Celestial Academy and meet Ms. Palmer.
00:48:37Make the most of this opportunity.
00:48:43Father, you have to avenge Ethan.
00:48:47Avenge?
00:48:47What do you expect me to do?
00:48:50That bastard Damon crippled Ethan's meridians.
00:48:53Are we letting him get 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 who drove him and Sean away.
00:49:06By family rules, once they leave the household, they're no longer family.
00:49:10Grandfather, if you don't avenge me, I...
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, so he's under the Academy's protection.
00:49:21I wouldn't dare cause trouble right now.
00:49:23We could approach the Academy, or even see Ms. Palmer ourselves, and get Damon disqualified.
00:49:27Once that happens, he'll be on his own.
00:49:29They're fighting for the top four tomorrow.
00:49:32Even the weakest is in the Zenith realm.
00:49:34Damon will be out soon enough.
00:49:36So why go to Ms. Palmer at all?
00:49:38It's unnecessary.
00:49:45You're right, father.
00:49:47Ethan, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
00:49:49If he dies during battle, so be it.
00:49:52If he's not dead, I'll bring him here myself for you to deal with.
00:49:57Father, what do you think?
00:49:59Proceed.
00:50:01By the way, aren't you a little too weak?
00:50:04I sacrificed so many family artifacts to help you improve your cultivation, yet you still lost to Damon, who's only
00:50:11in the Ignition Realm.
00:50:13You've really disappointed me.
00:50:15Grandfather, I lost because I was ambushed.
00:50:18If you give me another chance, I'll tear him to pieces.
00:50:25Father, Ethan's meridians were shattered.
00:50:28He can only be healed with a Grade 7 Reforge pill.
00:50:31At his current level, if he takes a Reforge pill, he could recover fully and even break through to the
00:50:36Zenith realm.
00:50:41A 7th grade pill? It won't come easily. Especially something that rare.
00:50:46You only have this one grandson left. You can't just watch him become a cripple.
00:50:52No matter what it takes, even if I must use all of the family's resources, I will heal him.
00:50:59Ms. Ross, Damon refuses to join the Ardina Royals, so a death order for him has been issued.
00:51:06Damon does have some unique moves, but he's no threat to the Ardina Royals.
00:51:12Why don't you report this back?
00:51:15Ms. Ross, you know the rules. The Royals never revoke their orders.
00:51:22If that's the case, give me a little more time. If he's still alive after the Trials, I'll speak with
00:51:30him again.
00:51:30If he dies in a match, we won't need to do anything. He's got a lot of enemies after all.
00:51:38All right, we'll go with your plan.
00:51:41Since we're in Cauldrus, it won't be easy to make a move against him either.
00:51:45Still, I need to remind you of the Ardina Royals' ultimate rule. You either join them, or you die.
00:51:51I understand.
00:51:59Damon, don't you dare let me down.
00:52:02Father's been ill for so long. Even with my stage one million cultivation, I still can't heal him.
00:52:09I must make it into the top four so I can meet Ms. Palmer and ask for her help. If
00:52:14she refuses, no matter what I do.
00:52:16Damon? Are you there, Damon?
00:52:19Father, I'm right here. Your eyes. Is he going blind already?
00:52:26Nothing. Just a bit blurry. Don't worry about me. By the way, how are things with the lady from last
00:52:33time?
00:52:33We're fine. She's a nice woman.
00:52:36Father's been holding on so I wouldn't worry. I should just go along with him.
00:52:41Really? Wow, that's great news.
00:52:43She said she wants to meet you in a few days. So, you must get healthier when she comes.
00:52:48Of course. In these two days, I'll eat well and rest. I won't embarrass you.
00:52:55Okay. Father, don't you worry. I'll bring you the Grand Revival pill.
00:53:14Who... who's that?
00:53:16Why are you here?
00:53:18Mr. Larson, what happened to you?
00:53:21It's you, Ms. Watson.
00:53:23You haven't answered me.
00:53:25Why the hell are you here?
00:53:32How did it escalate into this? Mr. Larson's condition.
00:53:39Father, I need to talk to Leah. You rest here.
00:53:42Oh, then... go ahead. I'll be right here.
00:53:51I'm here to ask you to withdraw from the trials.
00:53:54I won't do that. If that's all you have to say, you can go now.
00:53:58Don't be stubborn, Damon. It's the top four selection next.
00:54:02The ones left are all powerful cultivators. You'll die if you fight them.
00:54:06If something happens to you, who will take care of your father?
00:54:09Even if I live on. How long do you think he has left?
00:54:13I...
00:54:13He was already sick. But if we hadn't been driven out from our home, his illness wouldn't have worsened so
00:54:19quickly.
00:54:19I'm so sorry. I never knew the damage I caused you was this severe.
00:54:25There's one more thing. From the way Anya looked at you that day, she must.
00:54:30I said, I won't withdraw from the trials. And...
00:54:33And don't pretend you still care about me.
00:54:39It's disgusting.
00:54:50Today, the top four will be decided. Best of luck to all of you.
00:54:54This may be a friendly contest, but lethal force is permitted.
00:54:57Victory or defeat will be decided by your skills and fate.
00:55:04In the first match, Clinton Hall, Zenith Realm Stage 3 against Damon Larson, Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:55:11This is a clash between the highest and lowest ranked cultivators.
00:55:16This should be interesting. Very interesting.
00:55:19Hmm. Clinton's one of the air candidates to Mr. Hicks of Westerio.
00:55:24He's unlikely to go for the kill.
00:55:27Damon may seem unlucky this round, but in truth, he's actually quite lucky.
00:55:33Mr. Wagner, what do you mean?
00:55:36If he were up against me, he might not leave the arena alive.
00:55:43Mr. Wagner, you sure sound confident.
00:55:46I'm just stating a fact.
00:55:48Trash will forever remain useless.
00:55:51This isn't the final match, and he's already facing the strongest.
00:55:55That guy in the Ignition Realm has probably run out of luck.
00:55:58Making the top ten already puts the odds in his favor.
00:56:02Top four? Impossible.
00:56:04What if he can?
00:56:05I just hope his loss today can be a life lesson for him.
00:56:09So I'll be the one to fight him.
00:56:12Beating him means nothing to me.
00:56:14You guys are the ones I actually want to face.
00:56:18No rush. After you defeat him, we'll still get our chance.
00:56:22All right. Anyway, be prepared not to lose to me.
00:56:27You never know when we'll face each other.
00:56:38I thought you'd surrender.
00:56:41Surrender? I'm sorry, but that will never happen.
00:56:44I truly respect your great courage.
00:56:47I never meant to belittle you. No offense.
00:56:50You say you respect me, but you're looking down on me.
00:56:53As cultivators, we must stay true to ourselves, mustn't we?
00:56:57You're right, Damon.
00:56:59If that's the case, then I shall fight you with 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 what I said about Damon's luck.
00:57:19I thought Clinton would spare his life, but Clinton's clearly getting serious.
00:57:23He even used Wisterio's ultimate technique.
00:57:25By the looks of it, he's going all out.
00:57:27Is that really necessary?
00:57:28That guy is only at Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:57:31Clinton's just wasting his energy.
00:57:33Clinton's only fulfilling Damon's death wish.
00:57:35If that's what Damon wants, no one can stop him.
00:57:38Too bad.
00:57:40Danger incoming, Damon.
00:57:45Why? Why isn't he dodging?
00:57:49Maybe he's too stunned to react.
00:57:52Activating Ignition Realm Stage 40.
00:58:15Heaven's palm.
00:58:21His cultivation is impressive, but Stage 40 should be enough to defeat him.
00:58:41Why did it stop?
00:58:43What happened?
00:58:44He seems to have countered Clinton's move.
00:58:47I don't think so.
00:58:49Why did it stop?
00:58:52Not sure.
00:58:53I have a strange feeling about him.
00:58:55And it's not the first time I've felt this way.
00:58:58What happened?
00:58:59My cultivation was dispersed instantly, like a butterfly going against a strong wind.
00:59:03How...
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 may not be strong enough yet.
00:59:14Everything sees him as weak, but his cultivation is extremely strong.
00:59:18Everyone has misunderstood 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.
00:59:43By then, I'll fight you again.
00:59:46I will...
00:59:48Be waiting.
00:59:53Clinton, what's going on?
00:59:55Why throw the match?
00:59:56You guys think I threw the match?
00:59:58We know you're kind and generous, but you didn't have to do that for him.
01:00:04I threw the match?
01:00:06Isn't that the case?
01:00:07You people are interesting.
01:00:10Interesting.
01:00:14Many seem upset that I won.
01:00:19But I enjoy seeing you all upset.
01:00:25Damon, you'd better hope you don't face me later.
01:00:28Because I won't show you any mercy.
01:00:31Damon's changed.
01:00:32He's gotten bolder than before.
01:00:34Maybe I had a part in that too.
01:00:36Did that weak cultivator just make it into the top four and even get the chance to meet Miss Palmer?
01:00:42This is practically a miracle.
01:00:44If Miss Palmer likes him and grants him her blessings, his life might be changed for the better.
01:00:48I know, right? I shouldn't have quit.
01:00:51Others may not have seen it, but Clinton did lose to him.
01:00:55I finally understand the Royal's concern now.
01:00:58I'm sorry, Damon. This is out of my hands.
01:01:07Miss Ross gave her orders.
01:01:09Let's settle this.
01:01:18In the next match, Leah Watson, Zenith Realm Stage 1 against Anya Ross, Zenith Realm Stage 2.
01:01:26So, let's have a look at this.
01:01:34Let's go!
01:01:36Let's go!
01:01:38Let's go!
01:01:42Let's go!
01:01:45Let's go!
01:01:50Let's go!
01:01:57Finally, I get to fight Caldris' top female cultivator.
01:02:00I'm actually a little nervous.
01:02:02Your cultivation realm is above mine.
01:02:04I should be the nervous one.
01:02:06We're only one stage apart.
01:02:08It's not that big of a gap.
01:02:09So, Leah, let's fight with...
01:02:12With swords.
01:02:18Azure Blade?
01:02:20Doesn't that belong to Miss Palmer?
01:02:23So, she's passed it along to Miss Watson.
01:02:25Miss Watson's indeed her favorite.
01:02:32Snow Veil is also one of the finest swords.
01:02:35Miss Watson is one stage below Miss Ross.
01:02:38Aren't you worried?
01:02:39I am, but Leah is strong too.
01:02:41That's my girl, after all.
01:02:43Let's begin.
01:02:47Let's begin.
01:03:07Father, I'm back.
01:03:09Father.
01:03:13Father.
01:03:14Father.
01:03:14Father.
01:03:17He's getting weaker and weaker now.
01:03:19I'm one of the top four now.
01:03:21I'll be able to enter Celestial Academy soon.
01:03:23I must get the Grand 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 Zenith realm.
01:04:15So how could he hold us down with just his spiritual power?
01:04:19You still haven't answered me.
01:04:21Who sent you to kill me?
01:04:23Mission failed.
01:04:24Due to bad intel.
01:04:30Trying to kill yourselves now?
01:04:31Too bad I'm your target.
01:04:34Unless you give me what I want, you won't die an easy death.
01:04:50Between Kaldris and Ardina's top female cultivators, Pooh will win this match.
01:04:54Who even cares?
01:04:56At least it's a treat to watch them fight.
01:05:11She's lost.
01:05:12What a pity.
01:05:14Leah's one stage below her, after all.
01:05:17The fact that she could hold against Miss Ross for so long is already commendable.
01:05:21In this match, Anya 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, I'd have lost in three rounds.
01:05:37Anyway, you're a Miss Palmer student.
01:05:39Today's loss won't keep you from the academy.
01:05:41That's right.
01:05:49Tom Wagner wins.
01:05:57You're pretty strong, but just too dumb.
01:06:00Nigel Bolton wins.
01:06:02The top four has been decided.
01:06:05Tomorrow you'll get to enter Celestial Academy and meet Miss Palmer.
01:06:14Did you follow my orders and lose to the lady from Ardina?
01:06:18Yes, Miss Palmer.
01:06:20I pretended to lose and gave nothing away.
01:06:23The Ardina Royals and Celestial Academy have been enemies for centuries.
01:06:26Though we've coexisted peacefully in recent decades, unrest still brews in secret.
01:06:31We must stay on guard.
01:06:32We must probe their movements subtly and 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 is Nigel Bolton.
01:06:43The Boltons.
01:06:44Another one is Damon.
01:06:45Damon? Why does that name sound so familiar?
01:06:48When you first came to the academy, you always talked about a demon.
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, he's a useless man with very low cultivation.
01:07:01He actually made it into the top four of the trials.
01:07:04Unbelievable.
01:07:06He's just lucky.
01:07:07He always gets by through luck.
