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 16
My dad told me that Support Branch Spirit Masters
aren't strong fighters,
so what we need to do is to find a partner whom we can entrust our life.
Only then can we make full use of our power.
I've been thinking where I can find a partner like this.
By hiring them?
By entering into contracts?
Neither is the answer.
If you were to entrust with life,
that's impossible to do so.
But when I came all the way here,
I've figured it all out.
Like Oscar,
he entrusted his life to his partners.
In exchange, they now shared a common destiny.
If you don't abandon them in desperation,
they will never give up on you.
So what?
In the end, they will all die.
But...
But if you are unwilling to give,
how could you expect them to treat you with sincerity?
They're dead.
What's the point of saying these?
Stop!
Master, you're here.
Human Faced Demon Spider's legs grow as the years go by.
Judging from its legs, it had lived for 2,000 years.
Great.
No, it's not.
According to my calculation,
the limit of your Third Spirit Ring is around 1,700 years.
It has exceeded your limit.
If you forcibly absorb it, you'll die for sure.
Master, I have no choice.
Tomorrow, Dugu Yan, a Spirit Master
will go to Star Dou Forest.
She plans to kill a Spirit Beast, and level up to Third Spirit Rings.
Your mission is to find a way to meet her
and break this bottle in front of her.
What does she look like?
She'll wear a cherry blossom petal on her head.
You will recognize her immediately.
It's you.
Do you know me?
Kid, you heard what he said.
You can't withstand this Spirit Ring.
Let's negotiate.
Give the Human Faced Demon Spider to me.
But I'm the one who killed it.
No one can absorb it other than me.
I know.
All I want is its corpse.
Its blood contains notorious poison,
and is able to attract poisonous Spirit Beasts,
for which it's perfect for this young lady.
However,
if you absorb its Spirit Ring,
the corpse would disappear.
Of course, I'm not taking advantage of you.
If you leave it here,
I promise
to capture another Spirit Beast that suits you,
and I assure you that you will level up to Third Spirit Rings.
How is it?
The people who were with him snatched my Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent just now.
After all, we are the elders,
don't take advantage of the kids.
There's nothing to lose in this deal.
Take it.
I can give it to you,
under one condition.
Just say it.
One of my friends is captured by a Spirit Beast.
Save her, and I'll give it to you.
What kind of Spirit Beast?
Titan Giant Ape.
It went that way.
Kid.
I'm afraid
your friend is dead.
Titan Giant Ape is fierce and violent.
Humans can never fight it.
It's meaningless even if I catch it.
Is that a no then?
If you want to level up to Third Spirit Rings,
we'll exchange for a Spirit Beast.
How long does it take?
First, I have to use Human Faced Demon Spider
to attract poisonous Spirit Beasts,
then this young lady has the priority to choose.
Then I'll find another one for you.
I guess it will take some time.
No way.
I'm running out of time.
Don't act rashly.
You might die.
Master.
The one who got caught is Xiao Wu.
Tang San!
Xiao Wu.
Tang San!
I'm running out of time.
Tang San!
-Tang San! -What's wrong?
It exceeded his limit, his body definitely couldn't take it in.
Can we help?
He is on his own.
Tang San!
What is it?
What's wrong?
I saw a plume of green smoke
coming out of his body and got into her arm.
How do you feel?
Nothing.
Did you really see it?
Ask him when he's awake.
No!
What is it?
You hit him too hard!
What if you hurt Tang San?
Er Ming.
You seem taller now.
What is happening?
Is he turning into a butterfly?
Human Faced Demon Spider's strength is too strong for him.
It is affecting his body.
Has he failed in absorbing the Spirit Ring?
Not yet.
We'll only know after the cocoon breaks.
It's a one-in-a-million chance to survive this kind of ordeal.
Let's go.
We'll get you another Spirit Beast.
But I want to wait for the result.
Stand further away then.
He might blow himself up anytime.
Er Ming, it's done!
Thank you, Er Ming!
No need.
It's enough.
Now their highest rank is Third Spirit Rings.
It would be inappropriate if I leveled up too fast.
Okay, okay.
I understand.
I didn't tell anyone that I can absorb Spirit Ring.
It's a secret to keep.
Okay.
I have to leave.
Say hello to Da Ming for me.
I don't want to go, either.
But, I will visit you whenever I have the chance.
Okay?
Come on.
I really have to leave, otherwise, Tang San would be worried.
Bye.
Please stop.
Okay, fine.
I give in.
Hide yourself when I'm safe.
Don't let them see you.
Why hasn't he come out yet?
He either blows up, or he has turned into a corpse.
No way.
He will never die here.
How many of those are alive after a backfire from the Spirit Power?
There is always a miracle.
It's a miracle because it's doesn't happen easily.
He is responding.
He is alive.
There is a miracle.
Take your time, no rush.
Tang San!
What happened to him?
The Spirit Power is too strong, it changes his temperament.
The power of Human Faced Demon Spider has overridden him.
A monster like this can never be left alive.
He cannot be saved.
Kill him.
Don't!
There's a way!
Move.
Tang San!
Move!
He is my student.
The Spirit Power has backfired, and he has lost his mind.
He is now a monster.
There's a way to save him.
There was no precedent of revival among those overridden by the Spirit Power.
I believe in him.
Even if there's a way, he has run away.
Brother Dai.
This...
Tang...
What happened to Tang San?
Bring him under control first.
Oscar, help us.
Oscar, what are you doing?
Oscar!
He's strong.
Come on!
Hold it down.
Seven Treasure Pagoda.
Strength Boost!
I feel like I'm much stronger.
Me too.
Of course.
My Seven Treasure Pagoda can double your strength.
Why are you back?
The Support Branch Spirit Masters of Ning Family will never abandon their partners.
What's wrong with him?
Why are you holding him down?
Why are there legs growing out of his back?
It's the backfire of Spirit Power.
He killed Human Faced Demon Spider and absorbed its Spirit Ring.
But its power has exceeded his limit.
His temperament is controlled by the beast nature.
In fact, the spider legs are the Spirit Bones.
What is a Spirit Bone?
When a strong Spirit Beast is killed,
there is a small chance that the Spirit Bones would be left behind
and attach to the Spirit Master.
Tang San's current situation
is caused by the overflowing power within and outside his body.
If we take the Spirit Bones away,
most of the Spirit Power can be removed.
He might regain consciousness.
But the Spirit Bones are attached to him, so they share the Spirit Master's body.
If we remove them forcefully,
Tang San would stay at Third Spirit Rings forever.
There's no chance of leveling up.
He would be ruined.
Exactly.
Brother San.
Wake up.
You'll be fine if you regain consciousness.
Tang San.
He's just a bloodthirsty beast now.
He can't hear you.
Let me remove the Spirit Bones.
You're his teacher.
He trusts you.
But if what you said is true,
and if he can never level up again,
do you think he can accept it?
I don't want that too.
But there's hope as long as he's alive.
It's better to stay at Third Spirit Rings for life, than being disoriented like this.
A Spirit Master who can never become stronger has no dignity of life.
I know this better than you.
I'm a Spirit Master who will never advance.
But the dignity of a Spirit Master is not about leveling up and fighting only.
Save him first.
We can talk later.
Great.
The Spirit Bones just appeared, and they have yet to grow into his body,
otherwise we can't remove them.
If you can't do it, I can do it for you.
He is my student.
I'll do it myself.
Xiao Wu.
Can you hear that?
Brother San is awake. He is talking.
Xiao Wu.
I heard him.
He is calling Xiao Wu.
Great.
He'll be fine if he wakes up.
Quick, let go.
Brother San is awake.
Is he awake?
Tang San.
Can you hear me?
Regaining consciousness even after the backfire of Spirit Power.
You have created a miracle.
Xiao Wu.
Okay.
Wake up.
We will go to save Xiao Wu later.
Xiao Wu.
Xiaogang, Tang San...
He is not awake.
He is controlled by the beast nature,
but his strong wish still exists.
He has always wanted to save Xiao Wu.
This wish has suppressed the nature of killing.
You stay here. Let's go.
Okay.
If Titan Giant Ape is ahead,
we're seeking for death if we follow them.
If saving Sister Xiao Wu is Brother San's wish,
I'd like to help him with that.
Wait for me.
Hey.
Stay here.
A Support Branch Spirit Master can never abandon her partners,
even if they are lunatic.
Slow down.
Why are you running so fast?
What if a Spirit Beast comes out of nowhere attacks me?
You should leave now.
We'll be in trouble if they see us.
Right.
Also, if you run into my friends,
don't hurt them.
They are good people.
Go back, Er Ming.
Remember me to Da Ming.
I'm fine.
Don't hurt him.
Xiao Wu.
Headmaster.
Master.
You escaped.
The Titan Giant Ape didn't hurt me.
What happened to Tang San?
Xiao Wu.
It's the backfire of Spirit Power.
Backfire?
Xiao Wu.
Let me save him.
No.
He is not Tang San anymore.
But he is calling my name.
His last wish is to save you.
But sadly, he can't recognize you anymore.
That's weird.
Why didn't Titan Giant Ape fight back?
What can we do to save him?
Remove the Spirit Bones.
Let me try.
If I die in the hand of Titan Giant Ape,
promise me to take them home safely.
Headmaster!
Stop.
Great one.
Spirit Ancestor of Four Spirit Rings?
Among all Spirit Elders of Three Spirit Rings,
he can be considered as a great one.
Sister.
Why are you here?
Of course I'm here for you.
The Star Dou Forest is so big,
how did you find me?
I'm worried about you.
Fragrance Seeking Worm.
Did you put it on me?
You traveled far alone.
As your elder sister,
I have to keep an eye on you.
Has anything happened in the family?
Nothing happened.
Why are you here then?
Aren't you here to break off the engagement?
Have you told him?
Yes.
Let's go then.
He's dying.
What do you mean?
The honored King of Forest,
I'm here to bring my student home.
I have no intention of fighting with you.
The Spirit Bones are going to attach to his bone.
They must be removed now, otherwise it will be too late.
Is the removal dangerous?
He can never level up and he will stay at Third Spirit Rings for life.
No way!
The Spirit Power in him is overflowing.
The Spirit Bones must be removed.
Xiao Wu, we are saving him.
Overflowing of Spirit Power.
Then we can just transfer it out.
How can you transfer a Spirit Master's Spirit Power?
I know the way.
Xiao Wu.
I know you're upset, but this is the only way to keep him alive.
Hurry up.
Titan Giant Ape.
Darn it!
The King of Forest is at the outskirts.
Who is fighting it?
You said Dai Mubai is dying.
What do you mean?
It's none of your business.
Come with me.
Let's get this straight first.
I'll tell you on our way home.
I'm not leaving.
Don't throw a tantrum here.
I'm doing this for your own good.
Let's go.
Let her go.
Oh, you're awake.
I said, let her go.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Don't you know who I am?
This woman is strong. You should leave first.
What is going on here?
Have you broken off your engagement?
Mind your own business.
Do you know her?
Where is Tang San?
What's with all these people?
How troublesome.
Leave him as soon as you can.
The roar of Titan Giant Ape came from that side.
Let's go check it out.
Let's go.
Xiao Wu.
I'm here.
I'll remove the excessive Spirit Power.
It'll be fine.
He doesn't remember anything now.
He won't know about our secret.
Keep an eye out for me.
Don't let anyone come near us.
The process of transferring can't be interrupted.
You'll be fine in a minute.
No!
It can't be interrupted.
You have to wake up.
Tang San.
The process can't be interrupted.
You must make it through.
Tang San.
Leave them alone!
Fight with us if you dare.
You counted me in?
You can leave first.
Rocketing Kiwi!
Leave them alone!
You can eat my kiwi.
It's delicious.
Do you hear me?
I will fight with you.
Do you want a sausage?
Er Ming, go.
He ran away.
I chased it away.
Xiao Wu.
Tang San.
You...
Wake up.
What happened?
Where is Titan Giant Ape?
I chased it away with my kiwi.
Miss, can you lend me a hand?
Here.
Can you help to treat Xiao Wu's wound?
Both of you are girls,
it would be more convenient.
Is she Xiao Wu?
Are the wounds
caused by the spider's legs?
I don't know.
She's already injured when I got here.
Didn't he come to save Xiao Wu?
Why would he hurt her?
He was deluded by the beast nature,
how could he remember his old friend?
Both of them fainted.
It's not a life-threatening situation.
Let me remove the Spirit Bones for him.
It disappeared.
The Spirit Bones have integrated into his body.
What does it mean?
Unless he's dead, otherwise it can never be extracted.
We're late.
What should we do?
Kill him.
Ma Hongjun.
Brother Dai.
Xiao Wu.
What happened?
The Spirit Bones have completely integrated into him.
He can never be saved.
Killing him is setting him free.
I won't let you kill Brother San.
Tang San is a student of Shrek Academy.
We will decide what to do when Headmaster is awake.
He almost got away just now.
If I kill him, it's better than letting your Headmaster suffer.
Do you really want to kill him?
He is a monster now.
Wait.
My father is Ning Fengzhi.
Is your father the chief of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?
Yes.
Why would the young daughter of the three elders hang out with these people?
Sir.
For the sake of my father,
please don't kill him now.
Even if your father is here,
he would kill him too.
Let me repeat myself.
He's no longer a human now.
He...
Xiao Wu.
He's awake.
Where is Titan Giant Ape?
Sir.
Can you recognize me?
It's just a Human Faced Demon Spider.
You're the Spirit Douluo with Eight Spirit Rings.
You don't have to kill me for that.
What's wrong with you?
Why aren't you talking?
Wait, don't you remember what happened?
Xiao Wu.
She's not dead.
It's just a minor injury.
We have stopped the bleeding.
Did Titan Giant Ape hurt her?
As I know, you're the one who hurt her.
Let her get some rest.
She's not awake yet.
She will be fine later.
Kid, come here.
I can't believe that you're totally fine.
How did you revive?
I can't remember.
My last memory is that I absorbed the Spirit Ring.
Then when I opened my eyes, you wanted to kill me.
No one has ever healed by themselves after the backfire of Martial Spirit.
Kid, show me your Martial Spirit.
You've leveled up to Third Spirit Rings.
He is truly recovered.
This...
This doesn't make sense at all.
Kid, what's with the green smoke
that came out of your body?
Green smoke? What is it?
Could it be that I made a mistake?
That's it.
Let's go.
What green smoke was she talking about?
The Serpent said when Dugu Yan touched you,
there was a plume of green smoke coming out of your body.
She touched me?
You were unconscious at that time.
Oh, no!
They walked too fast.
I was thinking about Xiao Wu, and I forgot about the bottle.
Didn't I give it to Flender?
When he was fighting with Titan Giant Ape,
the bottle dropped, so I picked it up.
And then?
Then when I was fighting the Human Faced Demon Spider,
the bottle was broken.
The green smoke in it drifted onto my hand.
But nothing happened to me.
How is that possible?
Master, is it possible that it's not a kind of poison?
No way.
There's strong poison in the bottle.
If that's the case,
why hasn't anything happened to me?
Perhaps there's also poison in Human Faced Demon Spider.
When you absorbed its Spirit Ring, it affected you as well.
I'll check the books at academy later, and I'll try to figure it out.
Master, how about you?
Headmaster said you went to see Su Yuntao.
He's dead.
He's dead?
Who killed him?
I don't know.
That's a human figure like the black smoke..
I've never met a Spirit Master like that.
But there's one thing for sure, he is very strong.
He could even talk to the King of Star Dou Forest.
Did he talk to Titan Giant Ape?
No.
It's Sky Azure Bull Python.
He had a conversation with Sky Azure Bull Python.
And then?
I headed out of the forest.
Then I saw you getting ready to absorb the Spirit Ring.
After I advanced,
I lost my control.
It's because backfire of the Spirit Power.
So,
I was the one who hurt Xiao Wu.
You were unconscious back then.
It's not your fault.
You're not to blame for Xiao Wu's injury.
But I almost killed her.
Both of you are lucky.
Xiao Wu is fine.
You're awake.
Master,
where is Headmaster and Brother Dai?
They went to the town to find herbs that can speed up Xiao Wu's recovery.
I'll go too.
They went in a group. It's enough.
I have to do something for her.
What kind of herbs does she need?
Why do you ask me to come?
You seem to be treating me coldly.
Regarding today's battle, even Ning Rongrong was there,
you're the only one who left.
We are talking about Titan Giant Ape.
The smartest move is to leave.
Aren't you going to accept me as your partner anymore?
You're right.
Then I'll do
what I have to do.
Relax, don't be nervous.
That's right.
Tell me everything
about your family.
What happened to me?
She is using the spiritual ability on you.
I just want to know a little more about Brother Dai.
Okay, I get it.
He's yours.
I won't talk to him anymore.
Don't talk nonsense.
It's not because of this.
What are you trying to do?
I just want to know a little more about you.
I want to know about your past,
but you always reject me.
This is my only way.
If you do it again,
I'll kill you.
Why are you here?
I just passed by and I coincidentally saw you.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Snow Return.
True Soul Flower.
You're not dead.
It's you.
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
