    Walk alone in the night.
[00:39] ---
    Look down on the hurrying steps.
[00:47] ---
    Everything is cultivated.
[00:50] ---
    Glimmers in the eyes
[00:52] ---
    never leave a trace.

[00:56] ---
    How to avoid the true mirage.
[01:00] ---
    How much defense does it take
[01:03] ---
    to resist loneliness?
[01:05] ---
    In the face of glory and defeat,
[01:08] ---
    how could I pretend not to care?
[01:11] ---
    Listen to your heart.
[01:13] ---
    Are you going to wander or go forward?
[01:16] ---
    So you can watch me now,
[01:18] ---
    Break the seal on the universe.
[01:21] ---
    Swirl your impact against everything old.
[01:24] ---
    Tear up the tranquility of the night.
[01:26] ---
    So you can watch me now,
[01:29] ---
    When I am set free.
[01:31] ---
    You're gonna be in fear,
[01:34] ---
    and get your defeat.
[01:36] ---
    I want to remain unknown
[01:38] ---
    however reversed the days and nights are.
[01:39] ---
    I want to remain hidden
[01:40] ---
    but the world is in disorder.
[01:42] ---
    I don't want to be immortal,
[01:43] ---
    but I have to fight.
[01:44] ---
    Break through it and go in hot pursuit.
[01:52] ---
    The result for the National
    Senior Phase Cultivation
[01:54] ---
    School Power Show Test has been announced.
[01:57] ---
    Wang Ling ranks No. 1?
    Is there a problem with the system?
[02:01] ---
    You've been teaching Class Elite
    for quite a while.
[02:03] ---
    What do you think, Instructor Pan?
[02:06] ---
    Wang Ling is a little below
    average in the class.
[02:10] ---
    He's usually quite silent.
[02:11] ---
    How did he become nationally
    No. 1 all of a sudden?
[02:14] ---
    We have two students on
    the top 10 list this time,
[02:18] ---
    but that's where the trouble is.
[02:22] ---
    "Song Hai Sixty Faction
    VS Songhai Fifty-nine Faction"
[02:23] ---
    "Song Hai Sixty Faction
    VS Songhai Fifty-nine Faction"
    Fifty-nine Faction?
[02:24] ---
    Why are we against one of the best Senior
    Phase Cultivation Schools in the first round?
[02:27] ---
    Because this time, Sun Rong and
    Wang Ling raised our average score.
[02:33] ---
    In the past 100 years,
[02:35] ---
    we had 24 contests with Fifty-nine Faction.
[02:38] ---
    The result is 23 loses and 1 draw.
[02:41] ---
    That's right.
[02:43] ---
    The only draw we had 10 years ago
[02:45] ---
    was because we had a genius,
    Master Immortal Zhuo.
[02:50] ---
    I have a feeling that this
    competition will be very interesting,
[02:54] ---
    and we might have a surprising result.
[02:58] ---
    Anyway, let's decide on our participants first.
[03:02] ---
    How come you guys are so calm?
[03:04] ---
    By the way, who is this Tang Birdie Two
    in the second position?
[03:15] ---
    Dear audience, I'm sure you are
    as much attracted to this year's
[03:17] ---
    National Senior Phase Cultivation
    School Sword Competition as we are.
[03:21] ---
    Now I'm at the training field
    of Songhai Fifty-nine Faction.
[03:25] ---
    As you can see,
[03:26] ---
    the capabilities of their students
    are close to professional standards.
[03:30] ---
    They are indeed one of the hottest
    candidates for this year's champion.
[03:33] ---
    Big Dipper Sword Formation, action.
[03:44] ---
    In the center of the sword formation
    is the Chairman of their Student Union,
[03:47] ---
    the ace in Fifty-nine Faction,
[03:49] ---
    Tang Birdie Two.
[03:51] ---
    "Tang Birdie Two"
    "Male"
    "Sixteen"
    "Chairman of Student Union, Songhai"
[03:54] ---
    Now let me ask him a few questions.
[04:00] ---
    Chairman Tang, what preparations have
    you made for this Sword Competition?
[04:07] ---
    To prepare for this annual Sword Competition,
[04:10] ---
    our students have undergone
    extremely tough training for a month.
[04:14] ---
    They go through this dull but intensive
    training process again and again
[04:18] ---
    in order to present the best
    they have at the Competition.
[04:22] ---
    High level students who are about to graduate
[04:24] ---
    are looking forwarding to the last
    major battle they have at school.
[04:28] ---
    The vigorous spirits of Fifty-nine Faction
[04:31] ---
    will be passed down to new students.
[04:34] ---
    It is my great honor to fight
    side by side with them.
[04:38] ---
    In a word, we will do our best,
[04:41] ---
    which is also the highest respect
    we can pay to our rivals.
[04:45] ---
    Then your rivals,
    students from Songhai Sixty Faction,
[04:48] ---
    "Sixty Faction Canteen"
    Then your rivals,
    students from Songhai Sixty Faction,
[04:50] ---
    do you have anything to say to them?
[04:53] ---
    I have noticed the princess of the Flower
    Fruit Water Curtain Group, the genius girl.
[04:58] ---
    She had an outstanding score
    at the Power Show Test.
[05:01] ---
    I hope at the Sword Competition,
    I can see the remarkable power of her family.
[05:07] ---
    At the Power Show Test, there was a Wang
    Ling from Sixty Faction who ranked No. 1.
[05:12] ---
    Of course, they say it was because
    of a bug in the system.
[05:16] ---
    I was wondering if you would like to...
[05:19] ---
    I wish him all the best
    in his immortal practice.
[05:31] ---
    Wang Ling? Who is that?
[05:35] ---
    What?
[05:35] ---
    Master Zhuo, Instructor Wang,
[05:37] ---
    are you serious?
[05:39] ---
    All the participants are Level 1 new students?
[05:42] ---
    I'm sure you still remember, Instructor Pan,
[05:44] ---
    that we didn't even come out
    of the group stage last year.
[05:48] ---
    Our school doesn't have quality enrolments.
[05:51] ---
    I don't see a force value higher than
    1000 even among higher levels.
[05:55] ---
    Sun Rong of Level 1 is a genius indeed,
[05:59] ---
    but the other three...
[06:00] ---
    Instructor Pan,
[06:02] ---
    I have my confidence in
    the quality of your teaching.
[06:06] ---
    But...
[06:10] ---
    I took the time for their body-building classes
[06:12] ---
    to give them lessons on theories.
[06:20] ---
    According to the rules of the Sword Competition,
    each team must have at least 5 members.
[06:26] ---
    But we have only 4 students on our list.
[06:29] ---
    I've discussed it with Master Zhuo.
[06:32] ---
    Here is the fifth member.
[06:37] ---
    But it is a dog.
[06:39] ---
    Instructor Pan, please don't
    discriminate against a spiritual beast.
[06:42] ---
    There are precedents of animals
    in the competition.
[06:45] ---
    The champion team of the year 3497 from
    a Senior Phase school had a fox in it.
[06:50] ---
    But that 9-tailed fox was an exchange
    student from the spiritual world.
[06:53] ---
    Besides, she transformed into human form.
[06:55] ---
    Froggy 2 can change into
    human form if necessary.
[07:00] ---
    I used the trick of transformation on him.
[07:03] ---
    It shouldn't be a problem now.
[07:06] ---
    This looks more like it.
[07:08] ---
    --My god.
    --Is this supposed to be
    the face of the demon king?
[07:12] ---
    All right.
[07:12] ---
    It doesn't matter if he isn't in human form.
[07:14] ---
    The rules don't require that.
[07:17] ---
    But he didn't participate
    in the Power Show Test.
[07:19] ---
    He isn't qualified for the Competition.
[07:22] ---
    "Make-up Exam"
[07:22] ---
    "Make-up Exam"
    Make-up Exam sequence has been initiated.
[07:24] ---
    Make-up Exam sequence has been initiated.
[07:24] ---
    Please input student information
    for the make-up exam.
[07:26] ---
    "Calmness Of Mind Makes Joy Of Heart"
    My goodness. You have plotted
    all of it, haven't you?
[07:30] ---
    Froggy 2 should have a score of 5000.
[07:34] ---
    If you win this time,
[07:36] ---
    I'll consider removing the seal on you.
[07:40] ---
    "Year 4396 Cultivation Calendar
    National Senior Phase Cultivation"
    "Froggy 2"
[07:43] ---
    Tang Birdie Two.
[07:45] ---
    No.
[07:46] ---
    Chairman Jingze.
[07:48] ---
    There is another one whose spiritual force
    has climbed on top of yours,
[07:52] ---
    "Froggy 2"
    "Songhai Sixty Faction Cultivation School"
    "Spiritual"
[07:54] ---
    "Froggy 2"
    "Songhai Sixty Faction Cultivation School"
    "Spiritual"
    and it is a dog.
[07:57] ---
    Good.
[07:59] ---
    Very good.
[08:00] ---
    You are forcing me to do it.
[08:04] ---
    So, it is decided.
[08:08] ---
    OK.
[08:09] ---
    After school, I'll set up a WeChat group
    to let them know quietly.
[08:12] ---
    You know it is something shameful, after all.
[08:14] ---
    Instruction Pan,
[08:16] ---
    we wanted to keep our strategy a secret.
[08:27] ---
    Songhai Sixty Faction Cultivation School
[08:34] ---
    Brother Wang, everybody, see you tomorrow.
[08:38] ---
    Bye-bye.
[08:42] ---
    I bought a video game recently,
    called Spiritual Beast Hunter.
[08:44] ---
    The beasts in it are this big.
[08:45] ---
    I fought one of them 4 times
    before I got over with it.
[08:47] ---
    "Songhai Noodles"
[08:50] ---
    Sir, noodles, top spicy, with an egg.

    "Welcome to Rongrong the Rabit's Live Broadcast"
    "FOLLOW ME AND YOU WON'T GET LOST"
    That's it for today. I'm going to leave now.
[09:12] ---
    "Welcome to Rongrong the Rabit's Live Broadcast"
    "FOLLOW ME AND YOU WON'T GET LOST"
    Love you.
[09:13] ---
    "Welcome to Rongrong the Rabit's Live Broadcast"
    "FOLLOW ME AND YOU WON'T GET LOST"
[09:19] ---
    If I can't show my face,
[09:21] ---
    my popularity just won't go up.
[09:26] ---
    "Welcome to Rongrong the Rabit's Live Broadcast"
    "FOLLOW ME AND YOU WON'T GET LOST"
[09:27] ---
    "Welcome to Rongrong the Rabit's Live Broadcast"
    "FOLLOW ME AND YOU WON'T GET LOST"
    That's it for today. I'm going to leave now.
[09:28] ---
    That's it for today. I'm going to leave now.
[09:36] ---
    Sun Rong.
[09:37] ---
    Wang Ling.
[09:38] ---
    Guo Hao.
[09:40] ---
    Chen Chao.
[09:41] ---
    Froggy 2. The five of you.
[09:44] ---
    Congratulations. You have been chosen by
    the school to participate in the Year 4396
[09:49] ---
    National Senior Phase Cultivation
    School Sword Competition.
[09:56] ---
    Father,
[09:59] ---
    I made it.
[10:01] ---
    That's it for today. I'm going to leave now.
[10:03] ---
    "60 Faction Sword Comp. School Team"
    Please get your spiritual sword
    ready within 3 days.
[10:11] ---
    There is no use for this thing now.
[10:14] ---
    This sword is called Li Chao.
[10:17] ---
    Son, take the sword.
[10:19] ---
    Yes, father.
[10:20] ---
    Son, the Chen family is proud of you.
[10:25] ---
    Father.
[10:27] ---
    From now on, use this sword
    to chop the firewood.
[10:31] ---
    This sword is called Li Chao.
    My father forged it when I was born.
[10:37] ---
    It's called Li Chao.
    It matches your name perfectly.
[10:42] ---
    "Congrats! We are a team! Spiritual Force Saved.
    OK for transfer."
[10:43] ---
    "Congrats! We are a team! Spiritual Force Saved.
    OK for transfer."
    We can judge from the patina,
[10:44] ---
    "Congrats! We are a team! Spiritual Force Saved.
    OK for transfer."
    The Goddess is giving out such
    a huge red envelop.
[10:45] ---
    that the sword has been very
    well maintained by Chen Chao.
[10:48] ---
    Because Brother Wang is also on the list.
[10:50] ---
    Although I have been long
    engaged with the sword,
[10:52] ---
    --and I have been worshipping it
    at home all the time,
[10:52] ---
    --Wang Ling, say something.
    --and I have been worshipping it
    at home all the time,
[10:53] ---
    --Wang Ling, say something.
    --so far, unfortunately,
[10:55] ---
    Li Chao hasn't bred a sword spirit.
[10:57] ---
    You cannot breed a sword spirit overnight.
[11:01] ---
    Now that Chen Chao is so persistent,
[11:03] ---
    he will achieve it very soon.
[11:07] ---
    "60 Faction Sword Comp. School Team"
    Chen Chao has shown his spiritual sword.
[11:09] ---
    "60 Faction Sword Comp. School Team"
    Who else?
[11:11] ---
    This sword was forged with
    the teeth of Night Devil Tiger,
[11:14] ---
    a Level 3 spiritual beast,
    as the main ingredient.
[11:16] ---
    It has been with me for 8 years.
[11:19] ---
    No spiritual beast has been bred either.
[11:23] ---
    Brother Guo,
    you are also suffering from the pain.
[11:26] ---
    I didn't expect that these Level 1 new students
    have their own spiritual swords.
[11:31] ---
    Sister Sun Rong, do you have a spiritual sword?
[11:39] ---
    "Sun Rong Joins the Chat"
[11:41] ---
    "Live"
    Instructor Wang, everyone,
    and Brother Wang, good evening.
[11:47] ---
    "Live"
    This is my spiritual sword.
    It is called Ocean.
[11:55] ---
    This blue color is the corona
    of the sword spirit.
[11:58] ---
    Sun Rong has bred a sword spirit.
[12:00] ---
    Sun Rong may have a
    favorable family background,
[12:03] ---
    but her sword shines so brightly,
[12:03] ---
    "Ocean. What an aggressive name!"
    but her sword shines so brightly,
[12:05] ---
    "Ocean. What an aggressive name!"
    which means she must have spent a lot of efforts
    to foster a mutual understanding.
[12:09] ---
    "Now this is Princess Sun Rong."
    "What a luxurious sword."
[12:10] ---
    "Now this is Princess Sun Rong."
    "What a luxurious sword."
    Thank you for your praises.
[12:12] ---
    In case the sword is damaged in battle,
[12:14] ---
    my family forged 13 of them.
[12:19] ---
    Why are you all silent?
[12:22] ---
    Oh yes, Wang Ling and Froggy 2,
[12:25] ---
    do you have spiritual swords?
[12:27] ---
    Froggy 2 is a dog, Instructor Wang.
[12:30] ---
    I'm afraid he doesn't have one.
[12:32] ---
    Sword of Sky.
[12:36] ---
    You beat me there.
[12:42] ---
    To breed a sword spirit, you have to be patient.
[12:46] ---
    In the beginning, the body of a sword
    spirit is in a chaotic state.
[12:50] ---
    After enough breeding,
[12:52] ---
    it will concentrate into a solid body.
[12:55] ---
    The initial sword spirit may take
    the form of a small beast, or a human.
[13:01] ---
    Then it will upgrade and evolve,
[13:04] ---
    and its intelligence will develop too.
[13:07] ---
    The sword spirits of some
    unbelievable cultivators
[13:10] ---
    even have the ability to think.
[13:14] ---
    Is that so? Please tell us more.
[13:17] ---
    Next semester, you will be given
    fundamental sword-related lessons.
[13:21] ---
    The sword lessons you are taking now
[13:23] ---
    are all about the maintenance
    of spiritual swords.
[13:26] ---
    In advanced sword lessons, you will learn
    about flying and fighting with swords,
[13:30] ---
    but that will have to wait until
    you go to schools of higher phases.
[13:35] ---
    What you need to do now is to nourish the
    passion between you and your spiritual swords
[13:40] ---
    and try to breed a sword spirit
    before your lessons come to an end.
[13:48] ---
    I'll save these to My Favorites.
[13:49] ---
    18 tips for breeding a sword spirit.
[13:51] ---
    Did we neglect something?
[13:55] ---
    Oh, yes, Brother Wang. Where is your sword?
[13:58] ---
    Don't you want to show it to us?
[14:00] ---
    Where is your sword, Wang Ling?
[14:03] ---
    Do you have a sword?
[14:18] ---
    "Yes"
[14:19] ---
    "Yes"
    Yes.
[14:20] ---
    "Songhai Fifty-nine Faction Cultivation School"
[14:21] ---
    "Songhai Fifty-nine Faction Cultivation School"
    Tang, are the spiritual swords ready?
[14:24] ---
    I've asked them to hand in their swords
    to school to be taken care of,
[14:27] ---
    and I've personally checked them out.
[14:30] ---
    But on this list,
    there are only 4 people.
[14:33] ---
    General Director Xie,
    that is because the fifth member...
[14:36] ---
    ...is that man.
[14:39] ---
    What?
[14:40] ---
    Tang, do you really want
    to activate that man?
[14:43] ---
    Aren't you worried about the consequences
    if you put him in the competition?
[14:46] ---
    We can't afford to lose this year,
[14:49] ---
    so, I'll have to rely on
    the power of that man.
[14:53] ---
    I got it.
[14:54] ---
    I'll give you a free hand
    with everything this time.
[14:57] ---
    Thanks.
[15:02] ---
    I will not allow Sixty Faction to win.
[15:05] ---
    If that man is activated,
[15:07] ---
    Sixty Faction will have no chance to win.
[15:14] ---
    Who is that man anyway?
[15:21] ---
    Brother, that is the current situation.
[15:26] ---
    "SIXTY"
[15:30] ---
    He wanted me to take part
    in the Sword Competition.
[15:34] ---
    Does the council know about this?
[15:37] ---
    Yes, Brother.
[15:39] ---
    Interesting.
[15:41] ---
    I'd like to see what kind of a man he is
[15:45] ---
    that made General Director Xie activate me.
[15:51] ---
    Sparks fall in the stream at your foot.
[15:58] ---
    Butterfly fly by your side look into the sky.
[16:04] ---
    After so many nights,
[16:11] ---
    You face is fading out of my memory.
[16:17] ---
    With the ferris wheel hanging up there,
[16:21] ---
    I look towards you in the colorful lights.
[16:25] ---
    Twinkling warmth stops in front of your eyes.
[16:34] ---
    The star-dotted dome
[16:37] ---
    reflects you in the lonesome moonlight.
[17:28] ---
    In the endless recollections,
[17:31] ---
    there are you in my remote dreams.
