Remembering the old days in a trance
We are destined to fight together
The past has gone but the memory lasts
Our happiness and sorrow in the good old days
The journey is difficult, through the crowds, to the end of time
I'm brave and undefeatable
The sky has become dark and the birds have returned home
Breaking all obstacles and reaching the peak above the clouds
Watching the thin plumes of smoke and the beautiful scenery
Working together, overcoming all difficulties
I will be known as the fearless one
Episode 04
What status?
He was born to be the City Lord. It's hereditary.
But it's unfair.
Everyone should gain dominions and power with one's own strength.
How could someone be born with it?
I don't quite understand either.
Xiao Wu,
the Spirit Master Association's election will be held this afternoon, right?
I think so.
Stop picking things up. Let's go.
With the sleeve arrow, I'm invincible!
Be careful.
What's wrong?
What took you so long?
What is it?
The election is over.
Isn't it supposed to be held in the afternoon?
Young Master Xiao brought the election forward to this morning.
They outnumbered others,
and he is now the President of the Spirit Master Association.
This is the new timetable for sponsored students.
Look.
He's obviously targeting both of you.
From now on, not only do you need to work in the afternoon,
but also in the morning.
If this continues, you will have no time for class.
You can't attend Spirit Power training,
so you won't have a chance to advance.
It's fine.
We can sneak in the class.
No, Brother San.
Nuoding City and the Academy are under the control of the Xiao family.
You can't fight against them.
How about this?
Both of you run away.
Why should we run away?
Young Master Xiao is more terrifying than he looks.
He will do anything.
It sounds like you know him very well.
Look.
Who did this?
My dad works in the mine.
It belongs to the City Lord.
On the day my Martial Spirit awakened,
Young Master Xiao asked his men to beat me up.
I got no Spirit Technique. There was nothing I could do.
He told me to bear in mind that even if I become a Spirit Master,
I still belong to Nuoding City and the Xiao family.
Drink this.
Your wounds will heal quickly.
It's fine, Brother San.
The wounds were caused by Martial Spirit.
They are harder to heal,
and they can't be treated by ordinary medications.
Don't worry.
If that jerk beats you again, come over and tell me.
Sister Xiao Wu will protect you.
We can't let the election slide so easily.
I'll go to the Spirit Master Association now.
Keep an eye on it.
Don't let anyone come in.
Even the Spirit Master from the City Main Office is here.
Again.
I'm counting on you.
Who is it?
Hurry up!
Adapt to your Martial Spirit.
You must have faith in it.
Because the heart of faith is indeed your Martial Spirit.
The heart of faith is the Martial Spirit.
Is it reliable?
Of course.
Officer Ling Feng did it himself.
There won't be any problem.
Don't worry.
Young Master.
It's Ghost Wolf.
It's the most suitable Spirit Beast for you.
Officer Ling Feng had it under control.
You only need to kill it.
What is the white circle?
Too bad, it's just a white Spirit Ring.
If this Spirit Beast is more than a hundred years old,
it's easy to kill, but hard to capture.
You're right.
What about Spirit Hall?
We'll get an update soon.
Tang San is just a bumpkin.
There's no way that he is connected to Spirit Hall.
Make things clear before you carry on.
Okay.
You did it.
Young Master, you did it.
Finally, I'm a real Spirit Master.
Tang San,
I'm going to teach you a lesson soon.
What color was it?
White.
A white Spirit Ring? It's less than a hundred years old.
If what you said is true,
as Xiao Chen Yu hates you so much,
he hasn't done anything to you
because you were recommended by Spirit Hall.
That's why he is being cautious.
I have nothing to do with Spirit Hall.
He will find this out soon.
What are you going to do then?
What was he doing?
Obtaining a Spirit Ring marks the beginning of the practice of a Spirit Master.
Why did he have to kill it in person?
The Spirit Master must kill a Spirit Beast with his final hit to absorb its Spirit Ring.
I guess his father's men captured it for him.
Actually, what he wants is Xiao Wu alone.
You should stay away from it and don't get involved.
Thanks for telling me these things.
There's one last option for you.
I can help you to get a Spirit Ring
and become a real Spirit Master.
Wait for me here tonight.
Why are you helping me?
It's a deal, so you'll have to help me too.
What can I do for you?
You'll know that later.
If you really want to protect that girl, remember,
tonight will be your only chance.
The Academy is just an illusion.
The life of a Spirit Master is full of blood and danger,
along with endless exciting things to be discovered by you.
Are you ready to welcome this whole new world with me?
Why are you helping me?
A Spirit Master shouldn't get used to slaughters.
The strong must protect the weak.
Your philosophy differs from the others.
To be honest, it's quite silly.
I know.
But that's what I believe.
They say I'm silly too.
Well, I guess fools should work together.
Come with me.
Let's look for your Spirit Ring together.
Look, it's not bad.
Boss, look at this.
This is nice.
Ten silver spirit coins.
Right.
The craftsmanship is bad.
Master, what are we waiting for?
Wait for them to close.
Why?
In order to help you obtain your Spirit Ring, we need to capture a Spirit Beast.
To look for a wild Spirit Beast near Nuoding City,
we can only go to the Spirit Hunting Forest.
What does it have to do with the shop?
The forest is guarded by Law Enforcement Corps of Spirit Hall.
We can't enter without a clearance warrant.
Spirit Hall dominates the forest.
The forests where most Spirit Beasts live
are guarded by Spirit Hall.
There are many powerful Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall,
especially the current Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
She is known as the greatest Spirit Master.
What is the Pontiff's name?
Her name is Bibi...
Anyway, everyone calls her Supreme Pontiff.
They won't call her by her name.
We need to get the clearance warrant in order to enter the Spirit Hunting Forest.
So, Spirit Hall owns this shop?
No.
But we can get the clearance warrant here.
Why do we have to wait for the shop to close?
The warrants here are ill-gotten,
so they can't sell it openly.
It's almost time.
Master, is the warrant expensive?
I know you're poor.
I'll pay you back.
I'm working in an blacksmith shop.
I can earn seven to eight silver spirit coins per month.
It's too late.
Thank you in advance.
I'll pay you back when I've saved enough money.
There's no need to thank me.
I don't have money either.
How are we supposed to buy it then?
You haven't seen my Martial Spirit, have you?
No.
This is my Martial Spirit, Luo San Pao.
Well...
Is this a Tool Spirit or a Beast Spirit?
Neither.
It is a Mutant Spirit.
I can't believe that it has mutated into a pig.
It's a dog.
It can run outside your body.
Isn't your Tool Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, staying outside your body as well?
So there are three types of Martial Spirit,
Tool Spirit, Beast Spirit, and Mutant Spirit.
The formation can be divided into two types,
within the body and outside the body.
You're good at summarizing and studious.
Practice makes perfect.
I have so much to learn.
We're closed.
A deal for the Spirit Hunting Forest.
We want to get in there.
100 gold spirit coins.
100 gold spirit coins?
Are you robbing us?
A clearance warrant from Spirit Hall is hard to get.
Take it or leave it.
We don't have money.
Get lost.
But I have a living Spirit Beast.
1 gold soul coin is worth 10 silver spirit coins,
which are worth 100 copper spirit coins.
It's enough for my dad and me to use for several months in the Spirit Saint Village.
A Spirit Beast is worth 100 gold spirit coins.
Spirit Beasts are extremely proud.
They would blow themselves up if they lose in a battle,
so a living Spirit Beast is priceless.
Didn't they capture a living Spirit Beast
for Xiao Chen Yu to get his Spirit Ring?
It was stunned by some special means.
He's the son of the City Lord.
They have resources and men,
yet they could only capture a Ghost Wolf that's less than a hundred years old.
It's very difficult to capture a living Spirit Beast.
But the one you used to trade for this warrant,
it's not a Spirit Beast but your Martial Spirit.
He can't tell.
Mutant Spirits are rare.
Can you get your dog back?
I can take it back anytime.
We were lying to him.
Why do you think I asked you to walk faster?
That's not good.
Hurry up.
This is the Spirit Hunting Forest.
Look.
Law Enforcement Corps from Spirit Hall.
That's a Spirit Elder who has got his third Spirit Ring.
He's strong.
If anyone tries to break into or sneak into the forest,
it's almost impossible to succeed.
I understand it.
All I want to know is,
why did you tell me to carry so many radishes?
That's for Luo San Pao.
Luo San Pao?
Isn't Luo San Pao a dog?
It eats radishes as well?
It's related to its means of attack.
Come, let's go.
Wait.
What are these for?
Dog food.
Fine, fine, enter.
There's no time limit. Life and death are your own business.
I guess he ran away.
It's not a bad thing.
Staying here would do him no good.
Make way.
I don't think he ran away.
Whose baggage is this?
Brother San's.
Thank you.
Your father is doing fine lately.
The guards are staying with him every day.
They're monitoring his every move.
If anything happens,
we'll inform you immediately.
Wang Sheng, study hard.
So when you return to your family,
all of you can come together again.
Right?
Boo!
Anyway,
thank you, for helping me to take the first step.
Don't mention it. It's just a deal.
Absorbing the Spirit Ring from the Spirit Beast
is a transformation of energy.
There's a limit to the Spirit Master's capacity to withstand the Spirit Ring.
I think I've heard of this.
I read it in a book at school.
There's a precise number for the limit.
For example, if a person wants to get his first Spirit Ring like you,
the age limit of the Spirit Beast to be hunted is 423 years old.
The closer it is to that limit,
the more obvious your improvement would be.
But if it exceeds the age limit,
your body won't be able to contain it,
and then you will fail to advance.
Four hundred and twenty-three years old.
It's not mentioned in the book.
It's calculated theoretically.
Amazing.
But how do we know how old the Spirit Beast is?
Luo San Pao's sense of smell is extraordinary.
It can tell its opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
With its guidance, we can find you the most suitable Spirit Beast.
Young Master.
The City Lord mentioned that the forest is dangerous.
You can't go there in person.
Do you know the reason why a family would decline?
They take away the rights of their descendants
to move forward in the name of protection.
If they always protect their descendants, it will only make them weak.
Well, what if Tang San and the others have really run away?
Liu Long.
Didn't you notice his eyes?
What is it?
People like him will never run away before being crushed completely.
Why don't we check again?
There are people who saw him leave the city,
but we can't confirm that he went to the Spirit Hunting Forest.
I've cut off all the assistance from the school to him.
Under the circumstances, if it were me...
I would be left with only one choice,
which is to kill a Spirit Beast and obtain a Spirit Ring.
He's no match for you.
I never belittle my opponent.
Back at the school, everyone was watching.
I would look bad if I hurt him.
But now it's different.
I will track him down and destroy his pride and hope with my own hands.
I will snatch his girl away and crush him.
That's more interesting.
But we haven't confirmed his relationship with Spirit Hall.
I'm not going to kill him.
I only want to make him give in.
Here you go.
Thank you, Master.
Get some rest.
We'll depart after Luo San Pao has enough rest.
Master, we didn't get very far.
It gets tired easily.
It's not moving at all.
Did it pass out?
It is actually awake.
This...
Luo San Pao is a Martial Spirit.
Yet it can eat too?
This is indeed a way to get energy.
So, maintaining it consumes little of my Spirit Power.
Here, San Pao.
Have a radish.
San Pao.
Why isn't it eating?
Have you ever seen a dog that likes eating radishes?
Then why did you make me bring so many radishes?
Be careful!
Luo San Pao!
Break wind like striking thunder, rumble the heavens and split the earth!
Ghost Wolf.
White Spirit Ring. It's less than a hundred years old.
The same Spirit Ring appeared after Xiao Chen Yu killed the Ghost Wolf.
What is this ring exactly?
It is just a kind of energy.
Spirit Ring of 10 years Spirit Beast is white in color.
Spirit Ring of 100 years Spirit Beast is yellow in color.
That 1,000 years Spirit Beast is purple in color.
Spirit Ring of 10,000 years Spirit Beast is black in color.
Spirit Ring of 100,000 years Spirit Beast is red in color.
A 100,000 years.
Is it possible for a Spirit Beast to live that long?
If you have the chance to go to the Star Dou Forest, you might see one
if you're lucky.
I killed it.
Others can never absorb it.
Aren't you going to absorb it?
What a waste.
My Martial Spirit is ruined.
It's meaningless for me.
Why did the corpse and Spirit Ring disappear?
Generally, if the Spirit Master doesn't absorb it,
the Spirit Ring and the corpse will disappear within two hours.
This Ghost Wolf was less than 100 years old.
That's why it disappeared soon.
Do you absorb the Spirit Ring
by touching it with your hands?
You'd better start your Martial Spirit first.
You'll need it when you absorb the Spirit Ring.
San Pao did a great job.
Why did you say it was ruined?
We're merely making a deal.
I don't have to explain it to you.
It was San Pao's Spirit Technique, right?
It was amazing.
It...
It just looked a bit...
Right.
Its means of attack is quite special.
Indeed.
Didn't you say it didn't eat radishes?
Luo San Pao can only launch three attacks.
After that, it needs to rely on radishes to replenish its energy.
Only the radish?
It's the most effective one.
Tang San.
Xiao Wu?
You're from the City Main Office.
Please go in.
Excuse me.
Has anyone else gone inside today?
Yes.
Was he about my age?
More or less.
Were they a man and a woman?
Are you done? Do you want to enter or not?
Be care of your attitude!
Last question.
They're still inside, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
Come out first.
So this is San Pao?
It's chubby and adorable.
Is it because it can only launch three attacks that it's called San Pao?
But it's weird.
Why is it a pig?
It is a dog.
Xiao Wu.
Why did you follow us here?
Well, that's because you didn't ask me to come along.
But why were you in the basket?
When you bought the radishes,
the boss was moving the baskets at the back, so I sneaked in.
I'm smart, right?
That's not the point now.
We're in the Spirit Hunting Forest.
There are Spirit Beasts everywhere. Do you know how dangerous it is?
Well, I'm already here. You can't tell me to go home alone, can you?
Can we send her out of this place first?
It's easy to go out.
But how do we get another warrant to come here again?
I'll follow you, and I'll run if I'm in danger.
The most powerful part of a rabbit is its legs.
I can run really fast.
I have the sleeve arrow as well.
I promise I won't cause you trouble.
Young Master.
Look at his attitude.
If you hadn't stopped me,
I would have used Black Tiger Heart Digging on him.
They are Law Enforcement Corps from Spirit Hall.
Do you dare to attack them?
Spirit Hall is too much.
It's like, they own the Spirit Hunting Forest!
Besides, they're just a Sect.
How dare they treat you so disrespectfully?
Liu Long.
Remember.
You can only be domineering if you're strong.
Yes, yes.
Young Master.
Young Master, there's a wheel track here.
It goes that way.
Entering the forest with a trolley.
I wonder who gave them the warrant.
There's no hurry.
We have time to question them when we catch them.
Follow it.
Sure.
Are you hungry?
We only have radishes here.
We don't have time.
Why?
We need to run.
Run?
What do you want to do?
I heard you killed a Ghost Wolf.
Right.
Ghost Wolfs live in packs in the forest!
A pack of Ghost Wolfs.
It'll be tough.
Run!
It's impossible to escape.
Let's fight them.
We have to distract them.
Who will do it?
Luo San Pao.
Okay.
Let's change...
Tang San.
What are you doing?
I overheard your conversation.
He was lying to you.
He lied? What did he lie about?
He said 423 years was the age limit for the first Spirit Ring.
There's no such theory.
How do you know?
I've read all the theoretical books in the school library.
Do you know?
An advanced Spirit Master once said
that if your first Spirit Ring
came from a Spirit Beast that's more than 300 years old,
you would fail to advance for sure.
Maybe he wanted me to challenge the limit.
If you fail to advance,
it would cause severe injury or death.
Master was obviously trying to harm you.
If that's the case, he could just hand me to Xiao Chen Yu.
All he wants to do is to validate his theory.
He doesn't care if this method would cause you harm or not.
No.
I've thought about it.
His plan for my Blue Silver Grass is right and reasonable.
Do you really want to get a Spirit Ring?
Xiao Chen Yu has advanced.
I'm running out of time.
Are you going to kill a Spirit Beast
even if it doesn't harm you?
I don't want to.
But for all these years, this is what the Spirit Masters have been doing.
Okay.
Let's find a fierce, evil Spirit Beast.
Then it will be alright.
A fierce, evil one?
I think it's Earth Rat. It's adorable.
Let's get another one.
I've always wanted to ask you.
Why are you so fond of reading theoretical books?
I came to the school to figure out the essence of Martial Spirit.
Have you figured it out?
Not yet, it's complicated.
It takes time.
What is it again?
The territory of Ghost Wolfs.
The interesting thing is, almost all Spirit Beasts
have avoided that place.
How do you know?
We didn't see any Spirit Beasts along the way.
I saw their tracks.
And there's the odor, it's obvious.
How can you tell all these?
I grew up in a forest.
Let's go.
I'm sure there's something huge.
Here.
What is it?
The tracks of Spirit Beasts.
You can even notice them.
It's ahead of us.
It seems like it was torn by something.
Two Spirit Beasts fought each other.
It was an intense fight.
Both of them might be injured.
It's Spotted Cat. Its claw attack is very strong.
It seems to be injured.
Can I use it as my first Spirit Ring?
Although it's injured, it's still very strong.
Not to mention that you have no Spirit Technique.
Let's give it a try.
Purple Demon Eye.
That's so pitiable.
Aren't you going to kill it?
Forget it.
The forest is large.
We'll find another one.
Great.
You don't want me to kill it?
Why didn't you stop me?
If I stop you just because I like cats,
it'll be unfair to you.
I can't just ask for anything I want.
Next time, you can tell me whatever you want.
I saw that your eyes were glowing purple just now.
Was that the power of your Martial Spirit?
Sort of.
That was pretty.
But, isn't Blue Silver Grass blue in color?
Why was there purple light?
The cat must have passed out because of excessive blood loss.
Its wound is still bleeding.
The injury must be severe.
Tang San, are you in a hurry to look for a Spirit Beast?
Do you want to save it?
If we don't save the mother,
the kitten is going to die too.
But how do we save them?
I'll look around.
I guess there are herbs that can stop the bleeding.
I'll be back soon.
I'll go with you.
You don't know what it looks like.
Stay here and keep an eye on them.
I'll be back soon.
You even know what kind of herb can stop the bleeding?
It's because I grew up in the wild.
I'll get you some fruit on my way back.
Okay, hurry back.
I'll wait for you here.
Okay.
Xiao Wu!
Are you okay?
It hurts.
What happened?
Brother Tang.
What a surprise.
The trees are shining against the light
Like a stubborn young man
The far destination is where I'm heading
My bags are packed but I'm in a daze
There's no need to comfort me
Going separate ways and we'll all endure suffering
Don't hide, take it as another challenge for us
A stubborn choice and a burning heart
Take the bumpy road under the storm
Not afraid to break ordinary rules in life
Because
Because I want to become the unique one
Stumble my way into the next sunset
So I will hope for brighter fireworks
The dream of faith
Will always prevail
And become a beautiful galaxy
There's no need to comfort me
Going separate ways and we'll all endure suffering
Don't hide, take it as another challenge for us
A stubborn choice and a burning heart
Take the bumpy road under the storm
Not afraid to break ordinary rules in life
