Fighter Of The Destiny
Episode 13
My holiness
Gou Hanshi, from Lishan Academy,
challenging Guojiao Academy.
There's no one else in Guojiao Academy.
I got this!
Xuanyuan Po, from Guojiao Academy.
He can't. He's wounded.
I can, your highness.
You're wounded.
You'll be disabled from overstrain.
So what? I'm not afraid of that!
Your highness,
I'd like to compete with this man in verbal struggle. Literature? Like what?
Whatever Xuanyuan's good at,
Painting or calligraphy, everything is okay.
What? Painting or calligraphy?
I don't want that kind of competition!
You wish!
It's already a concession.
What?
You think an idiot at the Astral-projection Stage
Can defeat my senior who is at the Erebus-insight Stage?
You're the idiot!
Listen,
don't even try to bully our Guojiao Academy.
If any one of you dare,
I'm gonna kick your ass!
Who's bullying our Guojiao Academy?
-Shifu! -Mister!
Shifu,
You're back finally.
I'll fight.
Gou Hanshi, so?
Did you want a literary competition?
Now my Shifu is here.
Compete with him.
Okay.
A verbal struggle then.
For your competition,
Someone must show us the moves you're saying of.
Then we know how it turns out.
I got this.
I got this!
My honor.
Storm in Mt. Zhong wakens the dragon.
Donglin Seven-star Swordplay, the third move.
Her highness uses the whip as sword.
She will prevail!
Don't worry. Chansheng is so ingenious.
It'll be alright.
Donglin Seven-star Swordplay?
Amazing!
This swordplay belongs to Donglin County's Qingjiang school.
Embracing the rain.
Nine changes of Cangya!
Lishan Academy lives up to its fame!
Qijian is also awesome.
He totally gets the obscure move
Gou Hanshi just said.
Mountain ghost splits the rock!
Nanyuan's whiplash.
Falling flower of plane trees!
Snowstorm just ends.
Xuanzong Swordplay,
Dragon and snake strokes.
Is this the original swordplay of their sect?
Xuanzong Swordplay feels noble and decent.
Gou Hanshi is playing rough.
Chen Changsheng is less experienced than him.
Seems that he'll lose.
Xueqing, Binghu, Yuxuan (positions)
The eleventh move of Mount swordplay!
Retreat of Zhouzong.
Commencement of Jinwu!
Counter-Jinwu.
The third move of Liaotian!
Her highness is really amazing!
Understands everything mister says.
Back then,
When Zhou Dufu and Emperor Taizong fought in Luoyang,
The scene was just like this.
What makes you think so, Principal?
They were the most powerful men recognized by all people.
Back then,
Zhou Dufu and Emperor Taizhong were in their heyday.
But, how young they are now!
Principal,
You're overpraising these kids.
In our Zhou Empire, Qiushan Jun and Xu Yourong are better!
So many talents,
A blessing for our empire. So many talents,
A blessing for our empire.
I've heard that Lishan Academy's Gou Hanshi
is very knowledgeable.
Didn't expect that
Chen Changsheng is also full of talent.
Showing off his glibness is not a real ability.
Immortal waves in clounds. Path made of wind and smoke.
Sword treads mountains and rivers.
I've lost.
Shang Xingzhou's disciple,
Proves that an after-born should be feared.
Yeshi's move?
Beast clan can learn cultivation method of our human clan?
Didn't expect that Emperor Bai could be so powerful.
May I ask,
The last three moves,
Are they from Guiyuan Taoist Book?
The seventeenth endnote in its third volume.
These moves are indeed recorded.
But the order is untold.
I'm impressed.
Xijing Notes and Youyang Local Annals have
mentioned a looker-on Taoist,
What happened is the order of Guiyuan Taoist Book.
Your memory is amazing.
I admit that you're more knowledgeable.
You won.
Guojiao Academy
doesn't need to take up challenges any more.
As for the proposal of Lishan Academy,
Well...
Children's marriage should be decided by parents.
I will never admit this countryman's engagment letter!
It's something between Miss Xu and me.
If she doesn't admit it,
I'm willing to cancel the engagement.
After all, it's her grandfather's will.
We should respect her grandfather's will.
But, in order to resist the demon clan,
The marriage of dragon and phoenix
is a blessing to our human clan.
That's right.
My senior and sister Xu have been fighting together for years
to protect our clan against the demons.
They're a perfect couple in people's eye.
You human clan want to come together to resist demons.
So Miss Xu must be married to Qiushan Jun?
The so-called righteous cause is to make Miss Xu marry someone she doesn't want?
Isn't the righteous cause the saintess's mission?
Of course not!
She's my Shifu's wife! Making her married to another man?
You stay out of this, okay?
Besides, when it comes to the righteous cause,
I'm the righteous cause!
My Shifu was born with the righteous cause.
Threatening him with the righteous cause?
Hilarious!
If resisting demons is the righteous cause,
Maintaining peace between humans and bests
is naturally the most important righteous cause.
My father,
Bai Xingye,
My mother,
Princess royal of the West Continent,
My Shifu,
Chen Changsheng.
May I ask,
On which aspect my Shifu loses to your Qiushan Jun?
I don't like other people oppressing me by power,
Nor the other way around.
What you've said doesn't matter so much.
It's only up to Miss Xu's opinion.
Forget about that.
Love solider than gold?
I think that's your wishful thinking.
What did you say?
What attitude is that?
Are you going to kill Chen Changsheng before everyone here?
Yourong's paper crane?
What's between me and Qiushan Jun is only fellowship,
And brotherhood.
I've no intention to marry him.
When I was young,
My grandfather made an engagement for me.
The man with the engagement letter is the one I was promised to.
That's my Shifu's wife.
Well-done!
Refused the proposal in public?
Yourong's character
hasn't changed at all.
[Abyss Bridge]
In fact,
I admitted the engagement in public.
Because I didn't want to marry into Lishan Academy.
I understand that.
Sorry.
I used our engagement to decline another one.
Anyway, I did something for you.
That's good.
Don't worry,
I will protect you.
I've purified my marrow.
I can protect myself.
Work harder.
Yes.
You're always better than me.
I just reached a higher stage.
Before the destiny,
You're the best one.
Our engagement...
Didn't I tell you that?
If you want to cancel it,
Change your destiny first.
Yourong,
The proposal arranged by my Shifu,
I didn't know it before.
If I knew it,
I wouldn't let them do that.
Senior Qiushan,
I'm not going to marry anyone.
We grow up together.
We know each other the best.
The biggest wish in my life is
to culminate the righteous cause.
But Chen Changsheng...
I know it's hard to decline our elders' arrangement.
So I used the engagement as an excuse,
To refuse the proposal.
I understand that.
It's not a good solution.
But at that time, on that occasion,
I didn't have any other choice.
The seed is ripe.
So is the timing.
That's odd.
Why can't I get drunk
when I want it the most?
I'm here, your majesty.
Student of Nanxi Academy, Xu Yourong,
Coming to accept her punishment.
Why should I punish you?
At the Ivy Banquet,
I refused
Lishan Academy's proposal of my own accord.
I ruined your majesty's goodwill
and the plan to unite Zhou Empire.
I'm really sorry.
You told me,
You will handle it properly.
Didn't expect you would use the Ivy Banquet
to refuse the proposal.
You made such a decision
to be with Chen Changsheng?
No, your majesty,
I only want to focus on my cultivation.
When things calm down,
I will cancel my engagement to Chen Changsheng.
It's good that you have this plan.
But you acted so recklessly.
Did you leave any dignity to Lishan Academy?
Didn't you embarrass Qiushan?
And how many troubles and enemies
would you bring to Chen Changsheng?
Have you ever thought for them?
I know clearly that I've acted recklessly.
I'd like to take one hundred soul-purgatory whips.
Your majesty,
That's too much!
The whip lashes at spiritual sense. It's the heaviest punishment.
More powerful the cultivation, more painful it feels.
I'm willing to take that.
Please permit, your majesty.
Humans
always feel pains.
With pains,
They keep sober.
I ask you not to fall in love during cultivation.
Because I don't want you to have weak points.
In a human's life,
The debt of love is hardest to be repaid.
I understand that.
Permission granted.
Yourong,
If you truly fall in love with Chen Changsheng,
You'll be disabled by the backfire of your cultivation method.
So you can't fall in love with him anyway.
Although the soul-purgatory whip lashes at spiritual sense,
Physical suffering is not avoidable.
I'm really sorry that you
have to endure such a great suffering.
Hang in there.
This is purple perilla essence.
Helps regulate energy and detoxicate.
The best essence to moisturize and better your skin.
I will remind you to use it every day.
Okay.
Hold on.
Yourong
Come,
A toast to you.
Demom seed has been planted,
You'll be mine soon.
Your majesty
These days,
Must be hard for you.
Thank you for your concern.
By rights,
I should stay out of your youngsters' love affairs.
But I've watched Yourong grow up. I know her.
She didn't meant to hurt you.
Yourong
she must have her own opinion.
Look at you,
Still speaking for her.
She is too stubborn.
I won't make her do anything she doesn't like.
Besides,
She's told me,
That engagement
is just an excuse.
Do you know the phoenix can only get married to the dragon?
What if she doesn't get married to the dragon?
It'll ruin her.
Thank you, your majesty.
I know what should I do next.
I hope this talk only happens between us.
I understand that.
I won't let Yourong be ruined by Chen Changsheng.
[Be&Cheery]
Tell me,
What is Xu Yourong thinking?
Use my Shifu's engagement
to decline Qiushan Jun's proposal?
Doesn't that add more enemies to my Shifu all of a sudden?
Your Shifu has purified his marrow.
So, I think...
I helped him!
This time I should order more people to protect him.
These days,
Let uncle Jin take the lead.
What did you say just now?
Shifu purified his marriow?!
I'm gonna bring you more Be & Cheery!
So you can be cleverer!
Then help us more!
Don't worry.
I'm here.
No one dares to bully you.
Because I will protect you guys!
When will Tianji Pavilion give out the standings?
Shifu, don't worry,
There must be your name on it this time!
I've cleaned this stela for a whole night!
Extremely clean! When your names show up on it,
They'll be shining!
One hundred and forty-eighth on Qingyun Standings,
Guojiao Academy,
Xuanyuan Po.
That... That's me!
Me! That's me!
Xuanyuan,
You didn't do anything.
Why did they put your name on the standings?
Why should they?
No idea.
Well-done!
That's my disciple.
I'm proud of you.
Good!
Astronomy Master will give a commentary, right?
Let's see that.
Full of energy,
Great strength, self-healing ability,
If he finds suitable cabala,
Very promising.
Exceptionally lucky,
He's met a wise teacher in Sacred Capital.
So bottom-placed.
That makes sense.
Your Shifu is Luoluo.
Your Shifu's Shifu...
Mister!
Congrats, Xuanyuan.
One hundred and thirty-ninth on Qingyun Standings,
Zhaixing Academy, Qi Ping.
Great!
Congrats! Congrats!
Ninety-eighth on Qingyun Standings,
Saintess Peak, Wen Yunfei.
That's me.
Congrats. Great.
Don't be nervous.
Although it's Qingyun Standings,
It's meaningless to overvalue a temporary ranking. You should look into the long term.
How could I be nervous before such a small event?
Hilarious!
Your hand's trembling a lot.
It's not!
Shut up or I beat you.
Thirty-second on Qingyun Standings,
Guojiao Academy,
Tang Tang.
Yeah!
Not bad.
Four rankings advanced from thirty-sixth.
Congrats.
Shall we call you
Tang Thirty-second from now on?
Doesn't sound good.
Still call me Thirty-sixth.
Or I gotta change my name every time I make a progress.
Tang First, Tang Second
Doesn't sound good at all.
Eleventh on Qingyun Standings,
Sacred Capital Tiandao Academy,
Zhuang Huanyu.
Great! Bravo!
Awesome! So awesome!
Congrats.
Great.
Kid,
Why are you unhappy?
You've achieved a good place.
Yes, well-done.
Work harder.
Tenth on Qingyun Standings,
Lishan Academy,
Qijian.
Bravo!
Ninth on Qingyun Standings,
Qingyao Academy,
Zhong Hui.
Great!
Shifu,
You...
Expect me to be which ranking?
Ranking doesn't matter.
You've made much progress when staying in Guojiao Academy.
I just hope people in Tianji Pavilion could know that.
I don't care whether they know that or not.
It's enough since you know that.
Forth on Qingyun Standings,
Saintess Peak,
Lianmiu.
Could you be the third?
Third on Qingyun Standings,
Lishan Academy,
Guan Feibai.
Great!
Senior, tonight's dinner is on you. As was expected.
Second on Qingyun Standings,
Guojiao Academy,
Bai Luoheng.
Second!
Your highness!
You're ranked second! Congrats.
With a strong blood,
She's broken through cultivation barriers.
A boundless future.
Thank you, Shifu.
Thank you for helping me solve meridians problem.
Otherwise, how could I have such an achievement?
Awesome.
Since you came here,
Sacred Capital changes upside down.
First on Qingyun Standings,
Nanxi Academy,
Xu Yourong.
Cultivation method merges with her blood perfectly.
Giving more days,
The righteous cause culminated.
Why should you exclude my Shifu?
That's unfair!
Relax.
After the Imperial Examination,
He'll be included in Qingyun Standings.
You know, Changsheng will be ranked first.
Xuanyuan,
Stop his nonsense.
That's not nonsense.
Take him away.
That's not.
What are you doing?
Put me down!
What are you doing?
You're not gonna stop him?
Put me down!
Listen,
You should call me Thirty-sixth,
Not Thirty-second.
I don't like thirty-second.
Do you hear me? Xuanyuan One Hundred and Eighty-fourth?
Don't you know touching a bear's ear makes you single forever? Thirty-second?
I gotta fetch the medicine.
Aren't you Tang Thirty-second?
Lady Mo?
I gotta tell you,
You can't call me that.
I'm still Thirty-sixth.
Just a number.
Thirty-six, thirty-two,
What's the difference?
Why can't you see the difference?
Six is four more than two.
That's right.
Between them, there are Tang Thirty-three, Thirty-four, thirty-five.
What a pity!
Three geniuses died unborn.
Don't make jokes with my name.
You still like being called Tang Thirty-sixth?
Of course.
Fine.
Tang Thirty-sixth, See you in the Imperial Examination.
Right,
Send my regards to Tang Thirty-seventh.
What a bitch!
Mister, your medicine.
Here it is.
Young lord,
Why did you pay him?
Put it away.
Write it down.
Young lord,
His lordship tells us,
When you go shopping here,
You must pay in cash.
What are you talking about?
How could that happen?
Let me pay for the medicine first.
Young lord
Take care.
His lordship asks you to give back
all the items you bought on credit,
Or pay in cash.
Isn't because your dad is pissed off by you
Leaving Tiandao Academy for Guojiao Academy at the Ivy Banquet?
Go on shopping.
I gotta go back home first.
Everything you're gonna buy today is on me.
Young lord!
Take care.
- Dad - Kneel!
I said kneel!
I sent you into Tiandao Academy.
It's okay if you don't study well.
How dare you drop out at the Ivy Banquet?
Is Tiandao Academy a place
where you can come and go as you like?
I gotta drop out.
Tiandao Academy is really boring now.
Shut up!
Did I send you there to have fun?
Look at you,
How could our Tang family count on you?
I've pled for mercy.
Tiandao Academy will forgive you.
You may go back there.
I won't.
I quit.
What?
You quit?
What about the Imperial Examination? Students in Guojiao Academy
are also qualified to attend the exam directly.
I believe, I will make some accomplishment.
You...
Fine.
Since you're so inner-directed,
From now on,
Our Tang Family won't give a penny to you.
Make some accomplishment?
I think you're gonna make a big trouble for me!
Dad,
We'll see.
When I came here,
I felt that I would meet you.
Are you doing well lately?
You're picking herbs?
What herbs?
As long as it helps save people, I'll pick it.
Recently, I've been studying on a new drug.
How are you doing lately?
There're good news and bad ones.
What's good is,
Our Academy defeated other academies at the Ivy Banquet.
Besides,
I cured the illness of friends around me.
It seems that,
You're an amazing doctor.
What's the bad news?
What's bad is,
I can't cure my own illness.
Perhaps,
I'll die soon.
Sorry,
I shouldn't tell you that.
But I don't know why,
Whenever I see you,
I can't help telling you such innermost thoughts.
You mean, you...
I'm dying.
There's something wrong with my blood.
If it can't be solved,
I will die before twenty.
Well, I gotta pick more herbs.
Excuse me.
Wish you could find the cure.
You've picked herbs in Herbs Garden again?
Yes.
But there're several herbs can't be found.
Right,
We can give it a try in the Underground Market.
There are many funny stuffs there.
Underground Market?
Chen Changsheng?
He helped Bai Luoheng solve the meridians problem?
That brat,
He improved meridians of Bai Luoheng and that bearman so well.
That couldn't be possible.
With a vague origin,
He destroyed our plans again and again.
Can't be ignored.
Kill him, then.
Get rid of this trouble before he becomes more powerful.
He's good at setting up formations
and surrounded by such master-hands as Bai Luoheng and Tang Thirty-sixth.
I'm afraid
It's not that easy to kill him.
I'll call more master-hands in our clan.
No need.
Sometimes,
To kill doesn't need to be done by ourselves.
Yourong,
You're not totally recovered.
Where are you going?
I'm okay now.
I've made Chen Changsheng an enemy to many people.
I'm afriad he's in danger.
I should be responsible for protecting him.
But, Yourong...
Don't stop me, Qiushan.
If it helps reduce my guilty feelings for him,
I will feel better deep down.
We've arrived at Underground Market?
Right, Thirty-sixth,
Is this the right place? No one else here.
Hush.
You guys,
Can you keep it down?
So inexperienced!
Check it out!
Well,
This... What does this mean?
We're not coming for fortune-telling.
Shut up if you don't know how it works.
Stand still.
Stand... Stand still?
Now you get it?
Come, follow me.
This is the Underground Market.
As long as you pay the doorkeeper,
You can come and haggle,
also sell your own stuffs here.
So mysterious!
Why do they wear masks?
Because buyers and sellers want to be anonymous!
After all, some precious treasures will invite murder.
I see.
Put it on.
Shifu, look,
This is so funny.
You have a good taste.
This is Ocean Treasure picked up from Bayou Sea.
Feeding with your blood makes it sired
and turned into flying fish.
Helps you guard your house.
How much?
Fifty bucks.
Wait.
Fifty bucks?
The flying fish can only live forty-nine days.
How should you sell it at such a high price?
In Zhuanzhuan, We can buy a bargain ten times better than this one!
Thirty bucks at most.
Okay, deal.
Here it is.
Spending money in this way will be fleeced by them!
Keep the change.
Lord Tang, since when did you start to haggle?
Put it away.
I gotta set up a stall.
See if there are admirers to buy my treasures.
Changsheng,
Give me the bag.
We'll walk around first.
Catch you later.
Okay.
Bye.
Let's go.
Come, take a look!
Various rare valuables!
Come and take a look!
Various rare valuables!
Take a look.
Shifu,
Seems that Tang Thirty-sixth's family stops giving him allowances.
Shall we help him out?
No need.
He has his dignity.
What do you like?
Let's go over there.
Let's go.
Look, All good stuffs.
Come and take a look! Various rare valuables!
You may look around.
I wanna see that one.
This Yunsi Grass can improve spiritual sense,
helpful to your further cultivation.
Thank you, Shifu.
How much is this?
You've bought Yunsi Grass.
You may have this paper crane for free.
It's nothing special
but able to fly one hundred thousand miles. Just flies further than normal ones.
Thanks.
Take it.
How much is this hairpin?
Five bucks.
This hairpin can change into thirteen different patterns.
I'll take it!
Take care.
Leave.
Why did you come?
Let's part here.
This is for you.
It reminds me of our childhood.
Thank you.
Recently, demon assassins
have been targeting at master-hands of beasts and humans.
Some have died already.
You better be careful.
Thanks for your reminding.
I will.
It slants.
Thanks.
I'm leaving, then.
Mister
This man asks to see you.
What are you doing here?
Tiandao Academy's Huo Guang
wants to challenge Guojiao Academy's Chen Changsheng.
Go back and practice your Kongfu.
Don't make troubles everywhere like they did.
Sorry.
I'm not interested in your challenge.
Are you Guojiao Academy looking down upon me?
Listen,
If you want to fight with mister,
You gotta defeat me first.
Go away.
The man I'm challenging is Chen Changsheng.
None of your business.
You're not Chansheng's rival. You better go back to your Tiandao Academy.
Gou Hanshi compromised.
I won't.
So,
You're coming for bargain-hunting?
Chansheng is not on Qingyun Standings.
So you think he can be bullied?
Mr. Huo, if you want to challenge me,
Maybe we can compete in the Imperial Exam.
In this case,
I will defeat you in the Imperial Exam fair and square!
Goodbye.
The exit is that way.
Made a hit at the Banquet.
Invited a flow of troubles.
But don't worry,
We will protect you.
What's going on? What happened?
Senior,
I've practiced this move for so long.
But no breakthroughs.
