00:00:01You
00:00:31Damon? 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.
00:01:28Wait for me.
00:01:32Okay.
00:01:48You 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.
00:02:08The requirements to enter Celestial Academy are incredibly strict.
00:02:10Every graduate from that place is a prodigy. And 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.
00:02:24Instead, you went and wasted everything I put into this. Such a disappointment.
00:02:28Father, 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. Please 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.
00:03:24For 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.
00:03:51But for me, I've already reached Stage 1 Million! Stage 1 Million!
00:03:56Yet I still can't ascend to the next realm.
00:03:59Oh, heavens! Are you messing with me?
00:04:09Today marks the end of my three years of confined roaring-ment.
00:04:13And today, Leah comes back.
00:04:15It's been three years.
00:04:16How have you been?
00:04:29Damon.
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.
00:04:48Don'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.
00:05:12Few people your age have reached that level.
00:05:14That's all thanks to you.
00:05:17What about your Cultivation Level?
00:05:23I'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.
00:05:54And you'll be stuck in the Ignition Realm.
00:05:56You'd only hold me back.
00:06:02What's wrong with Ignition Realm?
00:06:04What's so bad about it?
00:06:05Every 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.
00:06:14He's so young, yet he's already reached Zenith Realm.
00:06:17Only 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.
00:06:37I owe you one.
00:06:38This is a breakthrough pill.
00:06:40A grade 6 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.
00:07:01I shall reclaim everything I gave you.
00:07:09Damon, with three years in seclusion,
00:07:12you should already be beyond the Ignition Realm.
00:07:15Yes, Grandfather.
00:07:17I...
00:07:18I'm still in Ignition Realm.
00:07:22Grandfather, what are you hoping for?
00:07:24Leah is already the most celebrated young talent in Caldress.
00:07:27And most importantly, she's already engaged to the Wagner family's son.
00:07:30You mean nothing to her.
00:07:32You...
00:07:33You 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...
00:07:46Enough!
00:07:48Starting 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.
00:08:12Father, Sean Larson and Damon Larson are hereby
00:08:15Sean 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.
00:08:32Let'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.
00:09:24Celestial 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 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.
00:09:49I won't go.
00:09:50Please stay calm.
00:09:51I have to enter that Trials.
00:09:53It's not just for the pill.
00:09:55I want everyone to know my name.
00:10:02Leah, 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.
00:10:24We'll be family soon enough.
00:10:25It's nothing.
00:10:26Leah, is everything settled?
00:10:29Yes.
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.
00:10:37No 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.
00:10:48I know that already.
00:10:55Miss Palmer!
00:10:57Greetings, Miss Palmer.
00:10:59Miss Palmer.
00:11:00Please get up.
00:11:01Miss Palmer, what brings you here?
00:11:03I sensed something strange here the other day.
00:11:06I 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.
00:11:37And 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?
00:12:53Stealing 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.
00:13:41What 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's stage 10 power should do it.
00:14:26I'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.
00:14:56How 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.
00:15:09Apologies.
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.
00:15:28Ignition 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.
00:15:57Trust 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...
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.
00:17:07Command 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?
00:17:26Lea 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, Tom Wagner and Miss Palmer's mentee, Lea 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, Lea.
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.
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 martial 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?
00:20:09Me?
00:20:10Me?
00:20:11Me?
00:20:11Me?
00:20:13Me?
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
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.
00:21:04At 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
00:21:17to me.
00:21:18Too bad he doesn't continue to stand out.
00:21:20Too bad he doesn't continue to stand out.
00:21:48Damn.
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 an ignition down level at all.
00:21:59I... is this real?
00:22:01What does that question mark mean?
00:22:02Is it because his level is too low to register?
00:22:05I got my hopes up for nothing. What a waste.
00:22:10Why does it only show stage? It'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 1.
00:22:23He's only at the base of the Ignition Realm. That's just sad.
00:22:26He reached the Ignition Realm at 3, and at 23, he's still there.
00:22:30The definition of a lost cause.
00:22:32Alright, I'll just put down stage 1.
00:22:36Damon Larson, Ignition Realm, stage 1.
00:22:42Bold of him to enter with just Ignition Realm, stage 1.
00:22:45His childhood sweetheart breaks off their engagement.
00:22:47Then his family kicks him out.
00:22:49He 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.
00:23:05If something happens to you, what will your father do?
00:23:11Don't bother.
00:23:12That's none of your business.
00:23:13I'm entering this trial for myself.
00:23:19Don'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.
00:23:31What kind of sob story is this?
00:23:34You got kicked out of the Larson family.
00:23:36And still comes here to embarrass yourself.
00:23:39Ruin yourself to make her feel guilty?
00:23:41What's wrong with you?
00:23:42That's stupid!
00:23:43Do you want to die?
00:23:44Do it then.
00:23:45Kill me.
00:23:45Think 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.
00:23:55You get to live another day.
00:23:56It starts tomorrow.
00:23:57You'd better pray we don't meet.
00:23:58Tell 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.
00:24:14He 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.
00:24:22Hmph.
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.
00:24:32I'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?
00:25:20Was 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.
00:25:54Otherwise, I'd struggle to place well.
00:25:56A 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.
00:26:05But 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.
00:26:29I 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.
00:26:40Alright, 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.
00:26:51Understood, Ms. Palmer.
00:26:53The Grand Marshal Trials proceeds in order from lowest to highest cultivation realm.
00:26:57All participants, please remember your designated round.
00:27:00I hope he'll know better and not show up today.
00:27:08Well, well. That young man actually came.
00:27:10He sure is fearless.
00:27:12Why did he bother showing up?
00:27:13I heard that because you all joined.
00:27:14Many 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.
00:27:29A Zenit 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.
00:27:42Damon, 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.
00:28:06He 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.
00:28:18Sir, 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 Marshal 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.
00:28:47Damon, the gap between you and your opponent is too great. I advise you to withdraw.
00:28:58Hey, just withdraw. There's no point competing.
00:29:03I 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?
00:29:18Ungrateful? You're the last person who can call me that.
00:29:22It 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.
00:29:37Whether 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!
00:30:00In 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, he still can't injure a Command Realm Cultivator.
00:30:13Exactly. The gap between realms cannot be bridged.
00:30:17That Ignition Realm Cultivator might even hurt himself from the recoil.
00:30:27Stage 10.
00:30:46This... this brat. It's impossible.
00:30:50How... how on earth did he do that?
00:30:53What just happened? Am I seeing things?
00:30:57That Ignition Realm Cultivator seems pretty strong.
00:31:00How 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.
00:31:11Meridian Tap?
00:31:13Yes. Focusing all energy into one point, he hit an Accupoint, which disrupted his opponent's core.
00:31:20That 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!
00:31:42Damon 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.
00:32:06Ms. 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. I can't believe he dismissed Ms. Ross's friendship.
00:33:04That's how he's always been. He hates owing anyone anything.
00:33:11He's too full of himself. I'll let him live another day.
00:33:15Next match. Nigel 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, why can't I injure you at all?
00:33:57Mr. Wagner, are all cultivators from Caldris this terrifying?
00:34:00Even I feel there are more talents to be found here.
00:34:03Keep training.
00:34:12Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:20Nigel Bolton wins!
00:34:24Tom Wagner wins!
00:34:28Anya Ross wins!
00:34:40I won!
00:34:43I advanced!
00:34:45I advanced!
00:34:46I 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?
00:35:04Me? I've been out gathering herbs for you.
00:35:08Where do you think these come from?
00:35:09I know you're hurting inside.
00:35:11Leah betrayed you despite what you've done for her.
00:35:14But you're still young.
00:35:15As long as you live an honest life, even if you have to be an ordinary man, you'll find love
00:35:20again 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.
00:35:27But mother has been away for so many years, we haven't heard from her since.
00:35:36She's... not coming back.
00:35:38You still won't tell me where mother is?
00:35:43Don't blame me.
00:35:46I have my reasons.
00:35:48Fine.
00:35:50Drink the rest of your medicine.
00:35:55If only I could see you get married before I die.
00:36:00Don't say that.
00:36:01Not even medicine can shut you up.
00:36:06Who's there?
00:36:08Anya Ross from the Ross family in Ardina.
00:36:17Damon, you...
00:36:18How can I help you?
00:36:21Aren't you going to invite me in?
00:36:23Now isn't a good time.
00:36:25She sounds lovely.
00:36:27I was worried you'd still be hung up on Leah.
00:36:29But 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! Go on!
00:36:44Get me a grandchild by next year!
00:36:48Father...
00:36:48Go, go! Don't make me hit you!
00:36:50Father's so happy that he looks much energetic.
00:36:52Never mind. I'll please him.
00:36:54Alright.
00:36:55I'm heading out.
00:36:56Go!
00:36:59Mr. Lawson, I came to find you today to apologize for what happened that day.
00:37:03Apologize? What 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...
00:37:25The heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:33The heir of the Ardina Royals.
00:37:40Anya?
00:37:41What is she doing with that nobody?
00:37:43What a coincidence, Ms. Watson, Mr. Wagner.
00:37:48You two are...
00:37:53We 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.
00:38:13I'm not familiar with Kaldris, so I had Damon show me around.
00:38:22What? What's going on?
00:38:24Did Damon get together with Anya?
00:38:27Did you two know each other before?
00:38:29Before? No, but I think Damon 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.
00:38:41Mr. Wagner, what are you implying?
00:38:44Be careful not to be led astray.
00:38:48Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wagner, but perhaps you should focus on Ms. Watson instead.
00:38:53Damon, let's go.
00:38:54Sure.
00:39:01She even called him so sweetly.
00:39:03What 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.
00:39:12Someone like her wouldn't be easily deceived.
00:39:15Looks like she's really in love with Damon.
00:39:18Leah, high cultivation realm doesn't mean high wisdom.
00:39:22Anya may be gifted, but she's young and inexperienced.
00:39:24It's not surprising that she got deceived by Damon.
00:39:27Maybe.
00:39:28But so what if he got together with Anya?
00:39:30It no longer has anything to do with us.
00:39:33You're right. It has nothing to do with us.
00:39:36Um, Mr. Wagner, I feel unwell. I've got to go.
00:39:46Damon, I'll make sure you lose everything.
00:39:55Damon, you owe me a favor now.
00:39:58Oh? How so?
00:40:00Didn't you see it? The look on their faces earlier were priceless.
00:40:06That was unnecessary. She's nobody to me now.
00:40:09I don't care. Either way, you owe me a favor.
00:40:12I thought you were being serious.
00:40:14Come on, Damon. I was just putting on a show for you. Don'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 and holds his hand.
00:40:25You're acting like I took advantage of you.
00:40:28Fine then. Let's get straight to the point.
00:40:30Why did you look for me today?
00:40:32Do you have to be so blunt?
00:40:33It's better to be clear. Otherwise, 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? What 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.
00:41:01Becoming 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. I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass.
00:41:20It's not that I want to recruit you. The Royals performed a divination. You must join us. Or else...
00:41:26Or else what?
00:41:27If you refuse to become a mentee of the Royals, you will become the Royals' enemy.
00:41:33I'll become the Royals' enemy? It's just a divination. Isn't that far-fetched?
00:41:37The Royals' divination has never been wrong.
00:41:39So what you're saying is, if I decline your invitation to join the Royals, I'll become the Royals' enemy?
00:41:44You can see it that way.
00:41:46And 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. I had a small hope of having a pure friendship, but I was
00:41:58wrong.
00:41:58Join the Royals, and we'll be friends.
00:42:01Although 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.
00:42:11Are you sure?
00:42:12I don't mind staying poor.
00:42:16What a pity your obstinate.
00:42:18I 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.
00:42:34Command Realm Stage 2 is six full stages above Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:42:39He'll definitely lose this round.
00:42:42Didn't he send a Command Realm Stage 1 Cultivator flying last round?
00:42:46He might still have a chance here.
00:42:47Damon only landed that ambush because he used Meridian Tap.
00:42:50This time, not if his opponent is smart.
00:42:52You're right. They 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.
00:43:02Don't worry, father.
00:43:03I suffered for so long because father always favored Sean.
00:43:07Now, I'll make your son pay for it.
00:43:09Seems the heavens aren't on your side.
00:43:11You had to face me on your second day.
00:43:14Damon, you've got really terrible luck.
00:43:16Ethan's brimming with killing intent.
00:43:18He's clearly going for the kill.
00:43:20But, 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.
00:43:32Are you sure I'm the unlucky one, and not you?
00:43:35Brag 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.
00:43:49Wait. That doesn't feel like Command Realm Stage 2.
00:43:53Looks like he's already reached Command Realm Stage 3.
00:43:55In just two days, he's broken through a whole stage.
00:43:59This time, Damon's done for.
00:44:01Scared now? Shaking already?
00:44:03It's too late for you to surrender now.
00:44:05The 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.
00:44:22Ignition Realm Stage 15. Burst.
00:44:41One punch again!
00:44:43How did Ignition Realm Stage 1 beat Command Realm Stage 3 with a single punch?
00:44:47After all, that's seven full stages apart.
00:44:50What's going on? How is that possible?
00:44:53Ethan!
00:45:01Announce it.
00:45:02Damon wins!
00:45:04Damon, how dare you shatter Ethan's meridians? I'll kill you!
00:45:09Are you sure you want to disrupt Celestial Academy's grand martial trials?
00:45:13He was out to kill me!
00:45:15I already showed mercy by only crippling his meridians.
00:45:18I simply don't want to kill my own kin.
00:45:21Otherwise, he'd already be dead.
00:45:24Ethan, my son. I will not rest until I avenge you.
00:45:27His technique is highly unusual.
00:45:29He's clearly only in the Ignition Realm, yet he's unleashing power beyond the Command Realm.
00:45:33Could he have the same mentor as you, Nigel?
00:45:35That's not possible, Clinton. My techniques are exclusive to the Boltons. No outsider could ever learn them.
00:45:42Anyway, 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. No matter what, he's only in the Ignition Realm.
00:46:00He's still no match for the Zenith Realm. The gap between these two realms is simply too vast.
00:46:06Then tell me, Nigel. You're only in the Command Realm. So why are you so confident?
00:46:12Because I am different.
00:46:14I suppose I've underestimated him.
00:46:17In the next round, Nigel Bolton, Command Realm Stage 4, against Brian McCann, Zenith Realm Stage 1.
00:46:24I'm up.
00:46:43I shouldn't have underestimated Nigel.
00:46:45He'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.
00:46:55But over the years, it has evolved into a true battleground.
00:46:58There are so many rising stars this year. It's becoming more and more unpredictable who will win this tournament.
00:47:04You may begin. I'm used to fighting with a sword. You?
00:47:12This 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.
00:47:20I will fight with everything I have as a Zenith Realm Cultivator.
00:47:25As you wish. I can take it.
00:47:28Here I come.
00:47:42For centuries, the Boltons have been the strongest family in Kaldrus. They've lived up to their legacy. It's a spectacle
00:47:48to behold.
00:47:49The Zenith Realm Cultivator was defeated? Why do I feel that the idea of realm difference is becoming increasingly blurred
00:47:56in this era?
00:48:01Nigel wins!
00:48:06If you're matched against Nigel, just withdraw.
00:48:11What makes you so sure I can't defeat him?
00:48:21Phantom Fall
00:48:24That was the last match for today.
00:48:27Leah wins.
00:48:30Tomorrow the top four will be decided.
00:48:32Those 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.
00:48:46Avenge? What do you expect me to do?
00:48:49That bastard Damon crippled Ethan's meridians.
00:48:52Are we letting him get away with it?
00:48:58Ethan's your grandson too.
00:49:00Damon should have shown restraint.
00:49:02Father, don't forget.
00:49:03You were the one who drove him and Sean away.
00:49:05By family rules, once they leave the household, they're no longer family.
00:49:09Grandfather, if you don't avenge me, I... I'd rather die.
00:49:14Nonsense. What are you even saying?
00:49:16Damon's at the Grand Marshal Trials, so he's under the Academy's protection.
00:49:20I wouldn't dare cause trouble right now.
00:49:22We 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.
00:49:28They're fighting for the top four tomorrow.
00:49:31Even the weakest is in the Zenith realm.
00:49:33Damon will be out soon enough.
00:49:36So why go to Ms. Palmer at all?
00:49:38It's unnecessary.
00:49:44You're right, Father.
00:49:46Ethan, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
00:49:49If he dies during battle, so be it.
00:49:51If he's not dead, I'll bring him here myself for you to deal with.
00:49:56Father, what do you think?
00:49:58Proceed.
00:50:00By the way, aren't you a little too weak?
00:50:03I sacrificed so many family artifacts to help you improve your cultivation, yet you still
00:50:09lost to Damon, who's only in the Ignition realm.
00:50:12You've really disappointed me.
00:50:15Grandfather, I lost because I was ambushed.
00:50:18If you give me another chance...
00:50:20I'll tear him to pieces.
00:50:24Father, Ethan's meridians were shattered.
00:50:27He can only be healed with a Grade 7 Reforge pill.
00:50:30At his current level, if he takes a Reforge pill, he could recover fully and even break through
00:50:35to the Zenith realm.
00:50:40A 7th grade pill, it won't come easily, especially something that rare.
00:50:45You only have this one grandson left.
00:50:48You can't just watch him become a cripple.
00:50:51No 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.
00:51:05Damon does have some unique moves, but he's no threat to the Ardina Royals.
00:51:11Why don't you report this back?
00:51:14Ms. Ross, you know the rules.
00:51:17The Royals never revoke their orders.
00:51:22If that's the case, give me a little more time.
00:51:25If he's still alive after the Trials, I'll speak with him again.
00:51:29If he dies in a match, we won't need to do anything.
00:51:32He's got a lot of enemies, after all.
00:51:37All right, we'll go with your plan.
00:51:40Since 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.
00:51:48You either join them, or you die.
00:51:51I understand.
00:51:57Damon, don't you dare let me down.
00:52:01Father's been ill for so long.
00:52:04Even with my stage one million cultivation, I still can't heal him.
00:52:08I must make it into the top four, so I can meet Ms. Palmer and ask for her help.
00:52:13If she refuses, no matter what I do.
00:52:15Damon?
00:52:17Are you there, Damon?
00:52:18Father, I'm right here.
00:52:21Your eyes.
00:52:22Is he going blind already?
00:52:25Nothing.
00:52:26Just a bit blurry.
00:52:28Don't worry about me.
00:52:29By the way, how are things with the lady from last time?
00:52:33We're fine.
00:52:34She's a nice woman.
00:52:35Father's been holding on, so I wouldn't worry.
00:52:38I should just go along with him.
00:52:40Really?
00:52:41Wow, that's great news.
00:52:43She said she wants to meet you in a few days.
00:52:45So, you must get healthier when she comes.
00:52:48Of course.
00:52:49In these two days, I'll eat well and rest.
00:52:52I won't embarrass you.
00:52:54Okay.
00:52:55Father, don't you worry.
00:52:57I'll bring you the Grand Revival pill.
00:53:13Who... who's that?
00:53:15Why are you here?
00:53:17Mr. Larson, what happened to you?
00:53:20It's you, Ms. Watson.
00:53:22You haven't answered me.
00:53:24Why the hell are you here?
00:53:32How did it escalate into this?
00:53:34Mr. Larson's condition.
00:53:38Father, I need to talk to Leah.
00:53:40You rest here.
00:53:41Oh, then...
00:53:44Go ahead.
00:53:45I'll be right here.
00:53:51I'm here to ask you to withdraw from the trials.
00:53:54I won't do that.
00:53:55If that's all you have to say, you can go now.
00:53:57Don't be stubborn, Damon.
00:53:59It's the top four selection next.
00:54:01The ones left are all powerful cultivators.
00:54:04You'll die if you fight them.
00:54:05If something happens to you, who will take care of your father?
00:54:08Even if I live on.
00:54:09How long do you think he has left?
00:54:12I...
00:54:12He was already sick.
00:54:14But if we hadn't been driven out from our home, his illness wouldn't have worsened so quickly.
00:54:19I'm so sorry.
00:54:20I never knew the damage I caused you was this severe.
00:54:24There's one more thing.
00:54:25From the way Anya looked at you that day, she must...
00:54:29I won't withdraw from the trials.
00:54:31And...
00:54:32And don't pretend you still care about me.
00:54:38It's disgusting.
00:54:49Today, the top four will be decided.
00:54:52Best of luck to all of you.
00:54:53This may be a friendly contest, but lethal force is permitted.
00:54:56Victory or defeat will be decided by your skills and fate.
00:55:03In the first match, Clinton Hall, Zenith Realm Stage 3 against Damon Larson, Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:55:10This is a clash between the highest and lowest ranked cultivators.
00:55:15This should be interesting.
00:55:17Very interesting.
00:55:18Hmm.
00:55:19Clinton's one of the air candidates to Mr. Hicks of Westerio.
00:55:23He's unlikely to go for the kill.
00:55:26Damon may seem unlucky this round, but in truth, he's actually quite lucky.
00:55:32Mr. Wagner, what do you mean?
00:55:35If he were up against me, he might not leave the arena alive.
00:55:42Mr. Wagner, you sure sound confident.
00:55:45I'm just stating a fact.
00:55:47Trash will forever remain useless.
00:55:50This isn't the final match, and he's already facing the strongest.
00:55:53That guy in the Ignition Realm has probably run out of luck.
00:55:58Making the top 10 already puts the odds in his favor.
00:56:01Top 4?
00:56:02Impossible.
00:56:03What if he can?
00:56:05I just hope his loss today can be a life lesson for him.
00:56:08So I'll be the one to fight him.
00:56:11Beating him means nothing to me.
00:56:13You guys are the ones I actually want to face.
00:56:17No rush.
00:56:18After you defeat him, we'll still get our chance.
00:56:22All right.
00:56:23Anyway, be prepared not to lose to me.
00:56:26You never know when we'll face each other.
00:56:37I thought you'd surrender.
00:56:40Surrender?
00:56:41I'm sorry, but that will never happen.
00:56:43I truly respect your great courage.
00:56:46I never meant to belittle you.
00:56:48No offense.
00:56:49You say you respect me, but you're looking down on me.
00:56:52As cultivators, we must stay true to ourselves, mustn't we?
00:56:56You're right, Damon.
00:56:58If that's the case, then I shall fight you with everything I have.
00:57:02I won't hold anything back.
00:57:04Go ahead.
00:57:06You may begin.
00:57:13Heaven's palm.
00:57:16I take back what I said about Damon's luck.
00:57:18I thought Clinton would spare his life, but Clinton's clearly getting serious.
00:57:22He even used Wisterio's ultimate technique.
00:57:24By the looks of it, he's going all out.
00:57:26Is that really necessary?
00:57:27That guy is only at Ignition Realm Stage 1.
00:57:30Clinton's just wasting his energy.
00:57:32Clinton's only fulfilling Damon's death wish.
00:57:34If that's what Damon wants, no one can stop him.
00:57:37Too bad.
00:57:39Danger incoming, Damon.
00:57:44Why, why isn't he dodging?
00:57:48Maybe he's too stunned to react.
00:57:51Activating Ignition Realm, Stage 40.
00:58:14Heaven's palm.
00:58:20His cultivation is impressive, but Stage 40 should be enough to defeat him.
00:58:40Why did it stop?
00:58:42What happened?
00:58:43He seems to have countered Clinton's move.
00:58:46I don't think so.
00:58:48Why did it stop?
00:58:51Not sure.
00:58:52I have a strange feeling about him.
00:58:54And it's not the first time I felt this way.
00:58:57What happened?
00:58:58My cultivation was dispersed instantly, like a butterfly going against a strong wind.
00:59:02How, how strong is he really?
00:59:05Or am I too weak?
00:59:07Continue.
00:59:09I, the current me may not be strong enough yet.
00:59:13Everything sees him as weak, but his cultivation is extremely strong.
00:59:17Everyone has misunderstood him.
00:59:21I, the current me may not be strong enough for him.
00:59:23I, the current me may not be strong enough for him.
00:59:23Are you sure?
00:59:25Yes.
00:59:26Announce it.
00:59:28In this match, Damon wins.
00:59:40Give me one year.
00:59:42By then, I'll fight you again.
00:59:45I will be waiting.
00:59:52Clinton, what's going on?
00:59:54Why throw the match?
00:59:55You guys think I threw the match?
00:59:57We know you're kind and generous, but you didn't have to do that for him.
01:00:03I threw the match?
01:00:05Isn't that the case?
01:00:06You people are interesting.
01:00:09Interesting.
01:00:11Interesting.
01:00:13Many seem upset that I won.
01:00:18But I enjoy seeing you all upset.
01:00:24Damon, you'd better hope you don't face me later.
01:00:27Because I won't show you any mercy.
01:00:30Damon's changed.
01:00:31He's gotten bolder than before.
01:00:33Maybe I had a part in that too.
01:00:35Did that weak cultivator just make it into the top four and even get the chance to meet Miss Palmer?
01:00:41This is practically a miracle.
01:00:43If Miss Palmer likes him and grants him her blessings, his life might be changed for the better.
01:00:47I know, right?
01:00:48I shouldn't have quit.
01:00:50Others may not have seen it, but Clinton did lose to him.
01:00:53I finally understand the Royals' concern now.
01:00:57I'm sorry, Damon.
01:00:58This is out of my hands.
01:01:07Miss Ross gave her orders.
01:01:08Let's settle this.
01:01:17In the next match, Leah Watson, Zenith Realm, Stage 1 against Anya Ross, Zenith Realm, Stage 2.
01:01:25Let's settle this.
01:01:56Finally, I get to fight Caldress' top female cultivator.
01:01:59I'm actually a little nervous.
01:02:01Your cultivation realm is above mine.
01:02:03I should be the nervous one.
01:02:05We're only one stage apart.
01:02:07It's not that big of a gap.
01:02:08So, Leah, let's fight with...
01:02:11With swords.
01:02:17Azure Blade?
01:02:19Doesn't that belong to Miss Palmer?
01:02:22So she's passed it along to Miss Watson.
01:02:24Miss Watson's indeed her favorite.
01:02:30Snow Veil is also one of the finest swords.
01:02:34Miss Watson is one stage below Miss Ross.
01:02:37Aren't you worried?
01:02:38I am, but Leah is strong too.
01:02:40That's my girl after all.
01:02:42Let's begin.
01:02:45Let's begin.
01:02:47Let's begin.
01:03:06Father, I'm back.
01:03:08Father.
01:03:12Father.
01:03:13Father.
01:03:16He's getting weaker and weaker now.
01:03:18I'm one of the top four now.
01:03:20I'll be able to enter Celestial Academy soon.
01:03:22I must get the Grand Revival pill.
01:03:27Father.
01:03:28Father.
01:03:29Damon?
01:03:30Damon?
01:03:30You...
01:03:31You're back.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:33You should rest more.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:36I feel really sleepy too.
01:03:59Who are you?
01:04:00What do you want?
01:04:02Who are you?
01:04:09Isn't he in the lowest realm?
01:04:10Why is he so strong?
01:04:12Both of us are in the Zenith realm.
01:04:14So how could he hold us down with just his spiritual power?
01:04:18You still haven't answered me.
01:04:20Who sent you to kill me?
01:04:22Mission failed due to bad intel.
01:04:29Trying to kill yourselves now?
01:04:30Too bad I'm your target.
01:04:33Unless you give me what I want, you won't die an easy death.
01:04:49Between Caldris and Ardina's top female cultivators, who will win this match?
01:04:53Who even cares?
01:04:54At least it's a treat to watch them fight.
01:05:10She's lost.
01:05:11What a pity.
01:05:13Leah's one stage below her after all.
01:05:15The fact that she could hold against Miss Ross for so long is already commendable.
01:05:20In this match, Anya wins.
01:05:26Leah, you fought well.
01:05:29I admit defeat.
01:05:30You're too humble.
01:05:32If you were at stage two, I'd have lost in three rounds.
01:05:36Anyway, you're a Miss Palmer student.
01:05:38Today's loss won't keep you from the academy.
01:05:41That's right.
01:05:48Tom Wagner wins.
01:05:56You're pretty strong, but just too dumb.
01:05:59Nigel Bolton wins.
01:06:01The top four has been decided.
01:06:03Tomorrow, you'll get to enter Celestial Academy and meet Miss Palmer.
01:06:12Did you follow my orders and lose to the lady from Ardina?
01:06:17Yes, Miss Palmer.
01:06:19I pretended to lose and gave nothing away.
01:06:21The Ardina Royals and Celestial Academy have been enemies for centuries.
01:06:25Though we've coexisted peacefully in recent decades, unrest still brews in secret.
01:06:30We must stay on guard.
01:06:31We must probe their movements subtly and learn their true intentions.
01:06:35You're right, Miss Palmer.
01:06:36Ardina has been ambitious.
01:06:37We must be careful.
01:06:38One of the top four is Nigel Bolton.
01:06:41The Boltons.
01:06:43Another one is Damon.
01:06:45Why does that name sound so familiar?
01:06:47When you first came to the academy, you always talked about a Damon.
01:06:50Are they the same man?
01:06:51Um, yes, they are.
01:06:53So he's your childhood sweetheart.
01:06:56But from what I heard, he's a useless man with very low cultivation.
01:07:00He actually made it into the top four of the trials.
01:07:02Unbelievable.
01:07:05He's just lucky.
01:07:06He always gets by through luck.
01:07:13He always gets by through luck.
