00:00:00Adam, Adam, if something happens to you, how could I go on living, Adam?
00:00:20A star has shifted. That's unusual. This is a sign of your incarnation of a Swordmaster.
00:00:33I am about to begin my third life, pursuing a higher sword path.
00:00:39During my absence, all matters in the Celestial Sect shall be overseen by Deity Bruce Holt.
00:00:45Understood, Master!
00:00:50Farewell, Master!
00:01:06Adam! Adam, you're finally awake! That's great!
00:01:10Who are you?
00:01:12My... My voice...
00:01:17I... I've been reborn into the body of a child.
00:01:21I am your mother. What happened, Adam? Don't scare me.
00:01:25Mother?
00:01:27Madam, Adam's life can only be saved by the sect's panacea, the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:01:32But you're a concubine. I'm afraid his lordship won't agree.
00:01:37Don't worry. Tomorrow I enter the sect's trial.
00:01:41His lordship once said those who pass the trial can obtain the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:01:46But her ladyship has also been eyeing it. It won't be easy.
00:01:51For my child, even if it means death, I will fight for it.
00:02:08My poor sword!
00:02:14Adam, I'm going to speak to your father. Stay here and don't wander off.
00:02:20The deeper the mark one's sword left on the trial stone, the stronger the swordman's skill.
00:02:25In a hundred years, only two swordsmen have left their marks.
00:02:29One is the top-ranked sword deity on the Celestial List.
00:02:33And the other, Luna Howard, the young prodigy of the Howard Sword Sect.
00:02:42Is this hard?
00:02:44My lord, among all the young swordsmen, our Luna always stands out in the crowd.
00:03:03Even Master Holt said she could make it to the top ten of the Celestial List.
00:03:09Indeed. At such a young age, she's already recognized by the sword deity.
00:03:14This is a great honor, not only for our sect, but also the entire Eastern Realm.
00:03:21The future of Howard's sect will depend on you and your brother.
00:03:27I will do my utmost to elevate the sect.
00:03:29Good!
00:03:33Look! The trial stone was split open!
00:03:39Wait!
00:03:45The aura!
00:03:49It was so strong! Someone split the trial stone with a single strike!
00:03:56Even the sword deity was able to break the trial stone.
00:03:59The trial stone was so strong!
00:04:02Even the sword deity was able to break the trial stone with a single strike!
00:04:07Even the sword deity, who ranks first on the Celestial List, could only leave a ten-inch mark on the stone using his full strength.
00:04:14This person cut the stone in half with a single strike.
00:04:18If such a person were to reveal themselves, I'm afraid the Celestial List would have to be rewritten.
00:04:28Go! Mobilize the entire sect! We must find this sword master!
00:04:32If he is willing to guide our sect, we could rise to greatness overnight!
00:04:36Yes!
00:04:41Are you looking for me?
00:04:43Adam!
00:04:44Isn't that the useless weakling born of a concubine?
00:04:48You're already a disgrace, and now you pretend to be the master who split the stone?
00:04:54We are holding the sect's trial today. What did you bring him here for? Such an eyesore.
00:04:59My lord, you said whoever passes the trial has a chance to get the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:05:04Adam's illness can only be cured by the orchid. I am willing to give it a try for my son.
00:05:09The Nine-Leaf Orchid is a rare herb that boosts inner strength. Only elite members like me and my sister are worthy of it.
00:05:15With it, we can strengthen our sect.
00:05:18Him? A lowborn child of a concubine? He's not worthy of it at all!
00:05:24The sect's resources won't be wasted on someone with no talents and no potential at all.
00:05:29Even if he's my own, flesh and blood!
00:05:33My lord, please!
00:05:35My lord, I'm begging you! Please save Adam!
00:05:39In this life and the next, I would be willing to serve you forever!
00:05:43I beg you, my lord!
00:05:47Please! Please save him!
00:05:50Please save our son!
00:05:53I'm begging you!
00:05:55My lord! My lord, please! I beg you!
00:05:59Please save Adam!
00:06:00Father!
00:06:03Stand up!
00:06:06Kneeling! It's of no use to these people!
00:06:11Little punk! Your mother was begging us to save you!
00:06:15How about this? You and your mother can both get on your knees.
00:06:19Perhaps I'll consider giving you a tiny little bit of the orchid.
00:06:23So you're holding a trial? Fine! Count me in!
00:06:28Did I hear that right? You? A sickly little brat who can't even wield a sword?
00:06:34You think you stand a chance?
00:06:36Adam...
00:06:38Trust me.
00:06:44Have you found the one who cut the trial stone in two?
00:06:49A century ago, the sword saint traveled here and set up two formations for today's trial.
00:06:56The challengers have to solve the puzzle and break the formations to pass the trial.
00:07:02Blake, you must get the Nine-Leaf Orchid. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands.
00:07:08Don't worry.
00:07:10Father, I'll go first.
00:07:12All right.
00:07:14Little punk, keep away from your low-born mother. You two are such an eyesore.
00:07:26Today, nothing will stop me!
00:07:56Well done! Good job, son!
00:08:17It seems Luna isn't the only prodigy among her generation.
00:08:20Her younger brother Blake is also not to be underestimated.
00:08:23The first sword formation shouldn't be too hard for Blake.
00:08:25The real challenge is the second one.
00:08:27Even the sword deity tried seven times before he passed when he was young.
00:08:30I wonder if he will success this time.
00:08:32These two sword formations are among the easiest ones I created back then.
00:08:37After all these years, they still think they are challenging.
00:08:41Wow!
00:08:53Behold! The Five-Fold Sword Formation!
00:09:03He has located it! He's about to break through!
00:09:07Him? He'll need at least ten more moves.
00:09:36Nine-Fold Solitary Sword, first move!
00:09:52Good! He broke the formation using just eleven moves.
00:09:56Truly remarkable at his age.
00:09:58How did he foresee it? What he said turned out to be true.
00:10:02If Blake is already this powerful, then just how terrifying must his sister be?
00:10:06Father.
00:10:10Little punk, it's your turn.
00:10:18He who laughs last, laughs best.
00:10:21From now on, leave everything to me.
00:10:26Madison, are you really going to let that weakling of yours fight?
00:10:30He'd very likely get killed.
00:10:32Of course I won't let him fight. I will be the one taking the trial.
00:10:36Huh?
00:10:37Madison, I know your sword skills are better than anyone.
00:10:40This is not a game.
00:10:42And with your pathetic skills, you don't stand a chance.
00:10:46If you step up there, you'll only disgrace our family.
00:10:50You refuse to save Adam.
00:10:51Fine. I need the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:10:53Even if it costs me my life, I will get it for my son.
00:10:59Stubborn woman.
00:11:00Madison has been busy taking care of her son.
00:11:03She's long neglected her sword practice.
00:11:05Now she wants to break a formation this powerful that's next to impossible.
00:11:09Even if you die on that stage today, it won't save your son's life.
00:11:15Hold on. Madison, how about you let me go first?
00:11:20Unless we'll get to see Luna in action, I'd better watch closely and learn everything I can.
00:11:25My girl, show them the difference between a genius and a waste of space.
00:11:32Madison, please watch my moves closely.
00:11:47The Threefold Sword Formation blurs illusions and reality.
00:11:50Its attacks are formless.
00:11:51The wind is silent. Breath still as water.
00:11:54It's spinning fast, leaving no traces.
00:11:56The second move of the Lotus Technique will do.
00:12:08Great! You see?
00:12:13Although Lotus Technique is the most basic sword skill, it's also the most effective.
00:12:17She's so young, but she knows strength and simplicity often coexist.
00:12:21If you see Luna using her signature move, the Ninefold Solitary Sword Technique,
00:12:24why choose the most basic Lotus Technique to break the formation?
00:12:27Oh, I see now. Madison hasn't practiced for years.
00:12:30She probably only remembers the most basic Lotus Technique.
00:12:33She's teaching Madison how to break the formation.
00:12:45The Fivefold Sword Formation is seamless and ever-changing.
00:12:49Unless the challenger dies or is captured, it will never end on its own.
00:12:53This place starts from here.
00:12:55When the first sword rains down, try to dodge. Save your strength.
00:13:13Luna! Use your Ninefold Solitary Sword Technique!
00:13:16Don't worry about them!
00:13:20Okay.
00:13:40Oh, great!
00:13:42That's my girl!
00:13:43Two moves! She broke through the Sword Saint's formation in just two moves!
00:13:47So this is the strength of our sect's heiress!
00:13:50Good! Very well done!
00:13:52Even the Sword Deity was no better than her at her age!
00:13:55She's truly the pride of our sect! Good!
00:13:58Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna!
00:14:03This Luna does have some talent.
00:14:06With some guidance, she might one day become a true master.
00:14:10Luna, you did great!
00:14:12Huh.
00:14:16Madison, good luck.
00:14:20Even if you told her exactly how to break the formation,
00:14:24she still couldn't do it with her current strength.
00:14:27The Nine-Leaf Orchid can only belong to my daughter.
00:14:34How about you let me do it?
00:14:37Got it. I can handle it.
00:14:43The Three-Fold Sword Formation blurs illusion and reality.
00:14:47Its attacks are formless.
00:14:54She... How could she...
00:15:12Huh?
00:15:20That's not bad at all.
00:15:22What a shame. Her son was born in poor health and can't practice sword.
00:15:26This is all your sister's doing. She had to help her.
00:15:30Don't worry.
00:15:32A basic sword technique like the Azure Technique won't break the Five-Fold Sword Formation.
00:15:43This place starts from here.
00:15:46When the first sword rains down, try to dodge. Save your strength.
00:15:56Oh no. The sword rain is too fast. I can't get through it.
00:16:00Don't get carried away.
00:16:02Just because you broke a simple formation using a few tricks my sister taught you,
00:16:07the Five-Fold Sword Formation is beyond you.
00:16:10The Five-Fold Sword Formation can't be broken with a basic technique like the Lotus Technique.
00:16:15Madison probably won't make it into the next round.
00:16:18Even with Luna's instructions, I'll have to break the formation.
00:16:21My current strength is still not enough. Looks like I'll have to risk everything.
00:16:25There is no basic sword technique. What matters is who wields the sword.
00:16:29Just use the Azure Technique. Throw the sword toward the sky.
00:16:32That one move will do.
00:16:34That one move will do.
00:16:41Throw the sword toward the sky? What nonsense is that?
00:16:45Adam, are you trying to get your mother killed?
00:16:49So he's really an idiot.
00:16:51Even the Sword Diddy, who ranks the first on the Celestial List,
00:16:54wouldn't dare claim he could break this formation with a single move.
00:16:57Alas, that person is the very Sword Saint who created the Five-Sword Formation himself.
00:17:02Adam, you are not in a position to speak here. Back off!
00:17:06Throw the sword toward the sky? Why didn't I think of that?
00:17:10That method might actually break the formation with one move.
00:17:15Listen to me! Just go for it!
00:17:18You wouldn't get hurt, I promise!
00:17:21There's no other way. I'll just try to hold on a little longer.
00:17:27It's coming!
00:17:28Do it now!
00:17:31Use the Lotus Technique! Throw your sword toward the sky!
00:17:35There's no time left. Whatever.
00:17:44She's actually used that?
00:17:46Lotus Technique, first move!
00:18:00What the hell?
00:18:12How is this even possible?
00:18:14She broke the formation with just one move.
00:18:16Even a genius like Luna had to use two moves.
00:18:18Madison, she's unparalleled!
00:18:21Adam, I made it! I made it! I made it! Adam!
00:18:26That little brat does have some good luck.
00:18:30Breaking a formation requires talent and practice.
00:18:34If Adam was able to teach Madison to break the formation in a single move,
00:18:38there's no way it was just luck.
00:18:40Mother, are we really going to hand over the Orchid to these two?
00:18:45Calm down. His lordship would never agree to waste the sect's resources on a lowborn wretch like Adam.
00:18:54My lord, can I have the Nightly Sparrow Orchid to save Adam now?
00:18:59No, you can't.
00:19:01You think you could have passed the trial without Luna's guidance?
00:19:06Did you do it on your own?
00:19:09But you said...
00:19:10Shut up!
00:19:12Swordmanship isn't only about breaking a formation or two.
00:19:16Besides, your success just now was simply a stroke of luck.
00:19:20If I hand the Nine-Leaf Orchid over to you, would it be fair?
00:19:26This old man doesn't care about Adam from the beginning.
00:19:29Who knows how much suffering this mother and son have endured in the sect that exploits people ruthlessly.
00:19:40Madison, do you think we're bullying you?
00:19:44How about this? Let's fight fair and square.
00:19:47If you can break my Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique, I might consider giving you the Nine-Leaf Orchid.
00:19:54That way, no one will disagree. Am I right?
00:20:01Fine. I'll do it.
00:20:11Madison, once you step on this stage, you'll die there.
00:20:25How about you let me fight?
00:20:28Adam, I will definitely cure your illness.
00:20:33All I want is for you to grow up in good health and be safe.
00:20:38As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
00:20:42Madison, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being ruthless.
00:20:59Watch out!
00:21:13Nine-Fold Solitary Sword is an advanced sword technique created by the Sword Saint.
00:21:19The opponent stands no chance to win unless they're a whole lot stronger.
00:21:32That's all you can do? No wonder you raised such a useless son.
00:21:37Father, the duel is over. Please send for the doctor to treat Madison.
00:21:44I'm fine. I can still fight.
00:21:49You're still not willing to admit defeat?
00:21:52Or do you truly believe you stand a chance against the Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique?
00:22:08Shame on you!
00:22:11Blake, that's enough!
00:22:17Madison, according to the rules, falling off the stage means your son will never get his life-saving herb.
00:22:38You are doomed!
00:22:44Bullying a woman? What kind of man are you?
00:22:51Fight me instead!
00:22:53Wow, an old wretch came to throw away her life. Now a little brat joins the party?
00:22:59You're all smug just because you learned the first move?
00:23:03But with talent like yours, you'll probably only manage to learn the first move.
00:23:09You little brat!
00:23:13All right. Since you insist on showing off on stage, fine then.
00:23:21But remember, you only get one chance, or my Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique will claim your life!
00:23:29Watch closely. I'll only show you once.
00:23:33This is how the technique is meant to be used!
00:23:41Little runt, coming on stage with a broken tree branch? What is this, playtime?
00:23:49What a joke!
00:23:51A little punk who's never even trained with a real sword, acting all mystical after copying just the opening stance?
00:23:57You really think you've mastered the technique?
00:23:59Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique isn't just nine forms.
00:24:02Only when all nine are connected, fused into one, does it become the true Nine-Fold Solitary Sword technique!
00:24:14Fuse!
00:24:20The aura! Is the sword's state making a move?
00:24:24What fusion into one nonsense?
00:24:27Still want to fight? Then I'll kill you!
00:24:32Nine-Fold Solitary Sword! First move!
00:24:38Careful, Adam!
00:24:43Wait!
00:24:54What? What the hell?
00:24:59What? What the hell's going on?
00:25:02What?
00:25:03Adam, calm down!
00:25:06Mr. Howard. Long time no see.
00:25:11Harrison. So you were the one behind this. How dare you attack my son?
00:25:17Who is he?
00:25:19He's Harrison Thompson, head of the second largest sect in the Eastern Realm. For years, he's been trying to take our place.
00:25:25If I really wanted to kill him, he would have already been a goner. Drop your groundless accusation.
00:25:29Groundless? Are you saying it was the doing of that stupid kid?
00:25:33Say it. What do you want?
00:25:36I'm here to challenge you to a life and death duel.
00:25:41The loser will lose the title of the number one sect of the Eastern Realm and disband their sect.
00:25:50And hand over their properties to the triumphant party.
00:25:54Father, our sect has a history of more than a century. We can't gamble with it.
00:25:59That's right, my lord. He clearly has something up his sleeve. We mustn't accept the challenge.
00:26:04Turns out the Howard family are a bunch of useless cowards. Hiding behind their family name like dogs.
00:26:20The aura. Pretty impressive.
00:26:27Blake, no! He's not as simple.
00:26:30You've got sharp eyes. You recognize the strength of Norman.
00:26:35Norman? Are we talking about the black horse swordsman?
00:26:39Who got enrolled in the Celestialists and stormed straight to number 26 with ease?
00:26:44I don't care about that black horse crap. If you see trouble with us, you'll pay the price!
00:26:50He's yours.
00:27:02If this is the best swordsman of your family, then he'll only embarrass you. Go home and train a little harder.
00:27:09Don't you dare insult my family!
00:27:15Don't get carried away. If my son takes this seriously, that guy won't stand a chance.
00:27:19No. He and his sword have become one. Blake is not his match.
00:27:23You think you know what becoming one with a sword means?
00:27:27Exactly. Can't you see he's barely holding up? Little rat. You'd better shut your mouth.
00:27:45He and his sword have become one?
00:27:51Blake!
00:27:53Master!
00:27:58Here, stand up. Are you okay?
00:28:05Adam, how did you figure that out?
00:28:07As a swordsman, judging the opponent's strength is a basic skill.
00:28:13Adam...
00:28:14Seriously? And you call yourself the number one? For shame!
00:28:20Mr. Howard, if you're too scared to accept the challenge, then get on your knees and admit that our sect is really number one.
00:28:29I'll give you ten days to consider.
00:28:32The Gaul. You think you can trample on us? I accept this duel.
00:28:43Father!
00:28:44Since you have agreed to it, then we will settle this on the stage.
00:28:50I'll go first.
00:28:51No, Blake!
00:28:54You're no match for them.
00:28:56I underestimated him just now. And if I don't go, are you expecting them or that little runt to step up?
00:29:05I'll fight.
00:29:11Luna, this duel concerns the honor and pride of our sect. You must give it your all.
00:29:18After all, there's no one else we can count on. You are our only hope.
00:29:24Enough talking. Whoever comes will meet the same fate.
00:29:32I'm Luna. Let's fight!
00:29:36So what if he ranks 26th on the list? My sister is right behind you.
00:29:40No. On the list, even one place ahead indicates a strength difference of a thousand fold bigger.
00:29:46This duel won't be easy.
00:29:55There's still a chance.
00:29:56No chance at all.
00:29:58You useless brat. You know nothing. Just shut up. Can't you see they're evenly matched? Watch closely.
00:30:16How did you do that?
00:30:18How did you do that?
00:30:20Norman defeated countless top-ranked Swordsmasters using his Shadow Clone Formation.
00:30:27It's one of the seven most powerful sword techniques.
00:30:48No!
00:31:03What do we do now?
00:31:05They say one can break it with a solitary sword technique.
00:31:08But only the Sword Saint, who fully understands the essence, knows how to.
00:31:14What do we do then? We're in no place to ask someone of that level for help.
00:31:19Mr. Howard, your daughter has limited potential just like you do.
00:31:24She'll never amount to anything.
00:31:27Your useless son is another example of your incompetence.
00:31:31He was just never meant to win.
00:31:37I can't see a way out.
00:31:39Every technique has its weak point, just like the Fivefold Sword Formation.
00:31:43Shut your mouth.
00:31:44Don't distract her while she's fighting.
00:31:46Fivefold?
00:32:02Could it be?
00:32:10Awesome!
00:32:11Well done!
00:32:14Useless.
00:32:16You're a fast leader.
00:32:17Even those among the top 20 on the list can't break my formation with one move.
00:32:22How did you do that?
00:32:25Adam, he can see through everyone's weakness.
00:32:28Just piss off, you little...
00:32:30I'm sorry.
00:32:31I'm sorry.
00:32:32I'm sorry.
00:32:33I'm sorry.
00:32:34I'm sorry.
00:32:35I'm sorry.
00:32:36I'm sorry.
00:32:37I'm sorry.
00:32:38Just piss off, you loser.
00:32:39Still asking questions?
00:32:41You're not worthy.
00:32:43What's the use of flamboyant moves?
00:32:45Style over substance.
00:32:46I suggest you come back after training a few more years.
00:32:49Exactly.
00:32:50If that little brat hadn't distracted her, Luna would have won long ago.
00:32:54Master Murphy, we'll have to ask you to step in now.
00:33:09Why did the sky just go dark?
00:33:13His presence alone made Heaven and Earth change color.
00:33:16Such overwhelming inner strength.
00:33:18Who on Earth is he?
00:33:20He seems to be...
00:33:23Oh.
00:33:24Things are getting more and more complicated.
00:33:27I'm afraid I have to go.
00:33:29I'm sorry.
00:33:30I'm sorry.
00:33:31I'm sorry.
00:33:32I'm sorry.
00:33:33I'm sorry.
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:33:35I'm sorry.
00:33:36I'm sorry.
00:33:37Things are getting more interesting.
00:33:46His footwork is unpredictable.
00:33:48And he moves extremely fast.
00:33:50He's good.
00:33:51But not that good.
00:33:54Luna.
00:33:55Be on your guard.
00:33:56This man is dangerous.
00:33:58Little girl.
00:33:59I'll let you make the first two moves.
00:34:01Attack as you like.
00:34:03Otherwise, they'll say I'm bullying the young.
00:34:06The gold.
00:34:13That's one.
00:34:15Luna.
00:34:16Give it your all.
00:34:19Luna's about to unleash her signature move.
00:34:22That old man's as good as dead.
00:34:24Ninefold Solitary Sword.
00:34:26Fifth move.
00:34:37The last three moves of the Ninefold Solitary Sword are where its true power lies.
00:34:41People like you who are lacking in talent
00:34:43better go back and train some more.
00:34:47Luna! Luna!
00:34:48Sis!
00:34:53Luna!
00:34:54Sis!
00:34:55Luna.
00:34:56Father.
00:34:57I'm sorry.
00:34:58We're done for.
00:35:00Even Luna isn't a match for him.
00:35:02Then who on earth can defeat this old man?
00:35:05Adam.
00:35:07Sis.
00:35:08Are you insane?
00:35:09That little punk wouldn't last a second up there.
00:35:12His martial prowess
00:35:14is indeed far above ours.
00:35:17As the sect leader, I made the wrong call
00:35:19and underestimated him.
00:35:21I...
00:35:23You know our family's
00:35:25century-old legacy
00:35:28is going to be destroyed under my watch.
00:35:32Mr. Howard.
00:35:34Losing to someone like me is no disgrace.
00:35:38You'd better go back and train harder.
00:35:45That's him.
00:35:48It's him.
00:35:49So it's you.
00:35:50Who is he?
00:35:51Levi Murphy?
00:35:53He's the one ranked 13th
00:35:55on the celestial list
00:35:57with his blizzard sword.
00:35:59He's unbeatable in the north realm.
00:36:01No wonder.
00:36:02He can make heaven and earth change color.
00:36:04You actually brought over a master of that level?
00:36:07I'm afraid your family's only hope
00:36:09is to beg the sword deity to come save you.
00:36:12But let's face it.
00:36:13Your clan's not on that level.
00:36:15You're unworthy.
00:36:17But still,
00:36:18I'm quite a generous man.
00:36:20And I can consider sparing your family's lives
00:36:23if you agree to serve my family as gatekeepers.
00:36:26Gatekeepers?
00:36:31Whoever wins this duel
00:36:33will be rewarded with the nine-leaf orchid!
00:36:36Going up against someone that powerful?
00:36:38That's nothing short of suicide.
00:36:48A group of cowards!
00:36:51Where's your pride as sword wielders?
00:36:54Huh?
00:36:57I'll fight.
00:37:03Come down!
00:37:04You're no match for him!
00:37:05Adam,
00:37:06as long as we get the orchid,
00:37:08your life will be saved.
00:37:10Even if there's a sliver of hope.
00:37:12I will fight for it with all I have.
00:37:17Solitary sword?
00:37:27Oh!
00:37:29Hmph!
00:37:30That move you used?
00:37:31If it had been the sword saying himself,
00:37:33I wouldn't even have had time to react.
00:37:35Too bad.
00:37:36You haven't mastered it.
00:37:37You can't land a scratch on me
00:37:39to submit to defeat.
00:37:40Hmph!
00:37:42I have to win!
00:37:44Master Murphy,
00:37:45this woman insists on challenging you.
00:37:48She still thinks she has a chance to win.
00:37:52Win?
00:37:53This time,
00:37:54I don't even need to draw my sword.
00:37:58I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:00I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:02I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:04I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:06I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:08I'm not afraid of you.
00:38:10Ugh!
00:38:13Nice strike.
00:38:15Beat them like you beat stray dogs.
00:38:21It's my fault.
00:38:23I failed to master the solitary sword.
00:38:25If only I had even a tenth of the sword's sacred power.
00:38:29Today,
00:38:30we wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
00:38:33Wait!
00:38:34No one is allowed to interfere with a life and death duel.
00:38:37That's the rule for all swordsmen.
00:38:39Come back now!
00:38:41What could be more important than your own life?
00:38:44Silly child.
00:38:46You are as precious as my life.
00:39:10Ugh!
00:39:13You're hurt so badly.
00:39:15Why won't you admit defeat?
00:39:17Because of my son.
00:39:20And that's why I can't afford to lose.
00:39:25I'm begging you, my lord.
00:39:27I'm begging you to save Adam.
00:39:29I'm begging you.
00:39:30I'm begging you.
00:39:36What are you doing?
00:39:38Is that so?
00:39:40Since you wish to die,
00:39:42then I'll fulfill your wish.
00:39:57Impossible!
00:40:03From here on,
00:40:04leave it to me.
00:40:08Impossible!
00:40:11Madison, come.
00:40:14You old geezer.
00:40:15I'll fight with you.
00:40:17You little brat.
00:40:19You still smell like milk.
00:40:21Stop messing around and get lost.
00:40:23Well, what if I manage to defeat you?
00:40:27Defeat him?
00:40:29If a useless runt like you can defeat Master Murphy,
00:40:32I'll call you daddy.
00:40:34I don't want a disgraceful son like you.
00:40:37If you lose, just kneel down and bark a few times.
00:40:39After all, you seem to enjoy acting like a dog.
00:40:45Hey, I'd really like to see what kind of skills
00:40:49a snot-nosed brat like you has.
00:40:52Master Murphy,
00:40:53please teach that brat a good lesson.
00:40:57Are you out of your mind or something?
00:40:59You haven't even wielded a sword before.
00:41:01What the hell are you going up there for?
00:41:04And with a wooden sword.
00:41:06This is not child's play.
00:41:08What a show-off.
00:41:10Adam.
00:41:14The established Howard family
00:41:16is now reduced to relying on a little kid.
00:41:22Looks like you're not taking this duel seriously.
00:41:25Of course.
00:41:26A brat like you,
00:41:28I only need one strike.
00:41:34What a fast strike.
00:41:36No way.
00:41:37I spent 30 years of my life
00:41:39refining this technique to perfection.
00:41:42Yet, he's just a kid.
00:41:44How did he do that?
00:41:45He even shattered my sword in a single blow.
00:41:48Master Murphy,
00:41:49this battle determines the future of the town.
00:41:52I don't want to lose.
00:41:54I don't want to lose.
00:41:56I don't want to lose.
00:41:58I don't want to lose.
00:42:00I don't want to lose.
00:42:02This determines the future of the Thompson clan.
00:42:04Stop holding back against that brat.
00:42:06Kid.
00:42:07You've got some skill.
00:42:09But in front of my 50 years of swordsmanship,
00:42:13you're just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
00:42:16You're bragging about 50 years?
00:42:19Not convinced?
00:42:20I was just underestimating you earlier.
00:42:22Now I'm going to show you
00:42:24why I rank 13th
00:42:27on the Celestial Sword List.
00:42:33Oh no.
00:42:36It's getting serious now.
00:42:38Even Luna couldn't beat him.
00:42:40There's no way Adam can win.
00:42:42It's still not too late to surrender.
00:42:45Save it.
00:42:46That sword move of yours,
00:42:48I was already playing with that centuries ago.
00:42:51Since you're seeking death,
00:42:53I'll grant your wish.
00:42:56Wow.
00:42:58Look at that.
00:43:00It's one of the top four ultimate sword techniques.
00:43:02Snowpiercer sword style.
00:43:04Even the top 10 ranked on the Celestial Sword List
00:43:06would tread carefully around it.
00:43:08How can a little brat like you defeat an old monster
00:43:10who's cultivated for decades?
00:43:12Calm down.
00:43:14Shut up.
00:43:15Watch closely.
00:43:16This is the true essence of the ninefold solitary sword technique.
00:43:20Snow dragon technique.
00:43:24Heaven splitting slash.
00:43:36The white dragon is still alive.
00:43:38It's still alive.
00:43:40It's still alive.
00:43:42It's still alive.
00:43:44It's still alive.
00:43:46It's still alive.
00:43:48The white dragon.
00:43:50It was actually cut in half.
00:43:52What kind of technique is that?
00:43:54It actually sliced the snow dragon in half.
00:43:57How is this possible?
00:43:59I've devoted my entire life to the way of the sword.
00:44:02And yet I was so easily defeated
00:44:05by that inexperienced kid.
00:44:09They say the ninefold solitary sword has a tenth move
00:44:13which infuses all sword chi
00:44:15into a sky splitting sword.
00:44:17But that technique is the signature move of the sword saint.
00:44:20How could he possibly use it?
00:44:22Quiet down, will you?
00:44:24Keep training and you'll get there.
00:44:26Some swordsmen seem to have very little talent when they're young.
00:44:30Yet one day they suddenly be enlightened
00:44:32and master a profound sword art.
00:44:34I believe Adam is one of them.
00:44:36And he must have studied the ninefold solitary sword
00:44:39and grasped the essence of it
00:44:41when none of us noticed.
00:44:43Hmm.
00:44:45Looks like I underestimated you with your talent.
00:44:49Perhaps one day you will break the limits
00:44:52and take swordsmanship to the next level.
00:44:56I am impressed.
00:45:01Brother.
00:45:02Don't try to cozy up to me now.
00:45:05I'm sorry, Adam.
00:45:07I was wrong about you before.
00:45:09I looked down upon you because you were young
00:45:12and not a fast learner.
00:45:14I even called you names.
00:45:15But I swear to you,
00:45:16I won't treat you like that again.
00:45:18Will you please forgive me, brother?
00:45:23Right, Adam.
00:45:24We're a family after all.
00:45:26Don't hold a grudge against each other.
00:45:28All right, all right.
00:45:32I paid you a fortune to get you here.
00:45:35This is how you repay me?
00:45:36Don't you feel ashamed?
00:45:38It's a duel.
00:45:39And I never promised you I'd win.
00:45:41I lost this time and I admit defeat happily.
00:45:44You'd better shut your mouth
00:45:46or I'll teach you a good lesson.
00:45:53We are not done here.
00:45:55Hey, wait.
00:45:56You think you can just walk away like that?
00:45:59Did you forget we had a deal earlier?
00:46:05All right.
00:46:06You haven't barked yet.
00:46:08Well?
00:46:09Weren't you on your high horse?
00:46:11As the head of a sect,
00:46:12shouldn't you honor your words?
00:46:14Come on.
00:46:15If you don't do it,
00:46:17you're not getting out of this place.
00:46:24Just remember,
00:46:25I will make you suffer a hundredfold one day.
00:46:31Hey, Adam.
00:46:33Look.
00:46:34It's the nine-leaf orchid you wanted.
00:46:39Mr. Howard.
00:46:47Father, this is...
00:46:51Mr. Rogers sent a letter
00:46:53inviting us to take part
00:46:55in the sword duel tournament.
00:46:57The winner will join the Celestial Sect.
00:47:00Oh, my.
00:47:01The Celestial Sect?
00:47:03If we are lucky enough to learn
00:47:05one or two techniques from the Sword Saint,
00:47:07all the other sects will have to
00:47:09look up to us in the future.
00:47:11The top ten sword masters of the Celestial Sect
00:47:13would give us enough to study for a lifetime.
00:47:16We might even meet the Sword Saint himself.
00:47:19Hey, Adam.
00:47:22For the upcoming sword duel tournament,
00:47:25I intend for you and your sister
00:47:27to both participate.
00:47:29Remember, I didn't fight for your sake.
00:47:31Don't push your luck, will you?
00:47:33You little rascal.
00:47:34Is that how you speak to your father?
00:47:36Shut up, you!
00:47:38We're not taking you to the tournament!
00:47:40Adam, the tournament is a grail for all swordsmen.
00:47:44Most of us can only dream
00:47:46of meeting the sword sages of the Celestial Sect
00:47:49even once in our lives.
00:47:51It's also a rare opportunity to see the world, isn't it?
00:47:54Exactly.
00:47:55Besides, your sister has always deeply admired a sect's founder,
00:47:58the Sword Saint.
00:47:59Just keep her company, all right?
00:48:01Um, then, all right.
00:48:04All right.
00:48:05I'll just take it as a chance to visit my disciples.
00:48:08It's been a while.
00:48:09I wonder if they've kept up with their training.
00:48:15Mr. Hill, the sword duel tournament has begun.
00:48:20Sword Saint.
00:48:25Back then, you gave me a walloping
00:48:28and made me the laughingstock of Sakurano.
00:48:32It's time to settle that score.
00:48:52Howard's sect of the Eastern Realm is here to register.
00:48:55This is our...
00:48:57Here you are.
00:48:58Hey, where are your manners?
00:49:00How can you jump the queue?
00:49:02Who do you think you are?
00:49:04What's going on here?
00:49:09Uncle, thank you.
00:49:16Hey!
00:49:21Howard's sect from the Eastern Realm.
00:49:23Wait.
00:49:25Howard?
00:49:26Yes.
00:49:29I'm sorry.
00:49:31You're not allowed to enter.
00:49:32Not allowed?
00:49:34Mr. Rogers personally invited us to compete.
00:49:37How can you say we can't enter?
00:49:39Right.
00:49:40Look up there.
00:49:41Our name is on the list.
00:49:42You mean this?
00:49:43Right.
00:49:44It's written right here.
00:49:46Hey! Hey!
00:49:48You... What do you think you're doing?
00:49:50All right.
00:49:51It's gone.
00:49:54I bet he's just siding with his relatives to bully us.
00:49:57So what if I am?
00:49:59You are but a group of nobodies from Backwater Villages
00:50:02with no strength and no connections.
00:50:05You're born to lick our boots.
00:50:07If I say you're not getting in,
00:50:09then you'd better just walk away.
00:50:11I don't want to see you again.
00:50:14If I say you're not getting in,
00:50:16then you'd better just walk away.
00:50:18I entrusted the Celestial Sect to the care of Sword Deity not long ago,
00:50:22and it's already such a mess.
00:50:23But we earned this admission fair and square.
00:50:26Whether we can enter or not, it's not up to you.
00:50:29So what if you made it into the top 20 of Celestial Lists?
00:50:33It means nothing.
00:50:35This is the Celestial Sect.
00:50:38It was personally founded by the Sword Saint.
00:50:41As the founder of swordsmanship,
00:50:43what right do you nobodies have
00:50:46to enter a sword tournament filled with the greatest swordmasters?
00:50:51You lost before things got ugly.
00:50:53You are but an eyesore.
00:50:55I dare you to say that again!
00:51:00What will you do if I say it again?
00:51:04Blade!
00:51:05Calm down.
00:51:12Take a look at yourself in the mirror.
00:51:15Swines like you from the lower class don't deserve to enter.
00:51:19The Sword Saint said the way of the sword is open for everyone.
00:51:23Yes, we come from a small place.
00:51:25Our skills may not rival the elite swordsmen of the major sects,
00:51:28but does that give you the right to openly trample on us like that?
00:51:31Right.
00:51:32If you can name but one swordmaster with real connections to back you up,
00:51:37I'll happily let you in.
00:51:39Otherwise, I'd rather let a dog in
00:51:42than let you people step inside.
00:51:45You!
00:51:48I wonder if I'm good enough to back them up.
00:51:56Did I hear that right, little punk?
00:51:58What did you say?
00:51:59Listen.
00:52:01Just because you got into the Celestial Sect you think you're superior?
00:52:05You're only good at helping your relatives bully others.
00:52:08At the end of the day, aren't you just a dog guarding the gate?
00:52:13You son of a bitch, how dare you say that to me?
00:52:19You're his mother.
00:52:21You'd better make this kid apologize right away.
00:52:23Otherwise, don't blame us Cloud Sect for wiping out your entire family.
00:52:29All right, stop wasting our time.
00:52:32Take this and ask Bruce to come see me right away.
00:52:36Good.
00:52:38Today, you Howard Sect is done for good.
00:52:42How dare you call this sword deity by name?
00:52:45Sword deity?
00:52:49What's this, a piece of trash?
00:52:51What's so great about it?
00:52:52I'm warning you.
00:52:57I'll go report this to the sword deity right now.
00:53:00You guys, just wait to be punished.
00:53:02No!
00:53:04Adam, being naughty is one thing.
00:53:07How could you mess with someone from the Celestial Sect?
00:53:11Right.
00:53:13The sword deity is the sword saint's favorite disciple.
00:53:16Now you've offended him openly.
00:53:18We will...
00:53:21Relax.
00:53:28Master Sword Deity, Howard Sect from the Eastern Realm.
00:53:31Master Sword Deity, Howard Sect from the Eastern Realm.
00:53:33It's causing trouble outside, Master.
00:53:35I don't know how to handle it.
00:53:37Follow the protocol.
00:53:38Yes.
00:53:42It's just an old badge with the word sword on it.
00:53:45What's the big deal?
00:53:46What did you say?
00:53:49I said...
00:53:50Lead the way.
00:53:57Kid, why would you want to offend the sword deity?
00:54:00You're done for.
00:54:01No one would be able to save you now.
00:54:06What should we do now?
00:54:08Don't worry, Ad.
00:54:09I won't let anything happen to you.
00:54:11It's fine.
00:54:12That guy wouldn't dare to do anything.
00:54:13Enough, Adam.
00:54:14You can have your way at home.
00:54:16But this is different.
00:54:17Watch what you say.
00:54:18Master, please.
00:54:31Hmm.
00:54:33Oh, Master Sword Deity,
00:54:34this little punk asked me to take this badge to you
00:54:37and showed no respect for you in front of everyone.
00:54:39He humiliated the entire Celestial Sect,
00:54:42founded by the Great Sword Sing.
00:54:44They had the gall to come here and make it a bit seen.
00:54:46I was so angry that I broke the badge in half,
00:54:49as a warning.
00:54:54You...
00:54:55It was your doing?
00:54:57It was your doing?
00:54:58I was just doing my job.
00:55:00Not worth mentioning.
00:55:03Little punk.
00:55:04Let's see if you can still act tough now.
00:55:09Master Sword Deity,
00:55:10why did you slap me for?
00:55:11Do you know?
00:55:13Do you know what this is?
00:55:15Isn't it just an old piece of wood?
00:55:17A piece of wood?
00:55:19It's something that could cost your life.
00:55:21It's the Sword Saint's personal badge.
00:55:23What?
00:55:24This badge represents the Sword Saint himself.
00:55:26Is this a legendary Divine Sword badge?
00:55:28What?
00:55:30So you're saying...
00:55:31Adam is...
00:55:40I almost forgot.
00:55:41Master can't reveal his identity yet.
00:55:43Oh, I get it.
00:55:45This must be a fake.
00:55:46He's just a little brat.
00:55:48How could the Sword Saint possibly give such a valuable thing to him?
00:55:51How could the Sword Saint possibly give such a valuable thing to him?
00:55:54That's absolutely impossible!
00:55:55Shut up!
00:55:57Adam,
00:55:58why do you have the Sword Saint's badge?
00:56:02Well, one time I ran into him,
00:56:04and he said something like,
00:56:05we're fated to meet.
00:56:06And then he gave me the badge.
00:56:09He must have seen great potential in your son,
00:56:11and knew he'd amount to greatness.
00:56:13His name is bound to go down in history.
00:56:17No wonder your skills advanced by leaps and bounds.
00:56:19The Sword Saint must have taught you a thing or two.
00:56:22Oh my,
00:56:23an encounter with the Sword Saint.
00:56:25How many in this world would have such good luck?
00:56:27Moreover,
00:56:28he even helped Adam improve his skills.
00:56:31This is truly a blessing for our family.
00:56:33A once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck!
00:56:37Our family is about to rise and shine!
00:56:43Oh, Master Sword deity,
00:56:45I really didn't mean to break this precious badge.
00:56:48Please give me a chance to make amends.
00:56:51It's up to him.
00:56:53Oh, oh, oh, young hero.
00:56:55I'm sorry, I'm awfully sorry.
00:56:57I know I was wrong, really.
00:56:59You're only apologizing
00:57:00because you know you're going to die.
00:57:06Well,
00:57:07I can spare your life,
00:57:09but you have to be punished accordingly.
00:57:13Take him away.
00:57:15Wait,
00:57:16weren't you just boasting a moment ago,
00:57:18claiming he's in charge of everything here?
00:57:21What?
00:57:23Kicking me while I'm down?
00:57:24It was me who destroyed the badge.
00:57:26But I did it
00:57:27because I didn't know it belonged to the Sword Saint.
00:57:30It seems you still don't understand what you did wrong.
00:57:33It's just a badge,
00:57:35and the Sword Saint won't make a fuss about it.
00:57:37But you took advantage of your position,
00:57:39thinking you are better than anyone else,
00:57:41sided with your relatives,
00:57:43fabricated charges,
00:57:44and...
00:57:45you accused us of causing trouble shamelessly.
00:57:49More importantly,
00:57:50the Way of the Sword is open to everyone.
00:57:53Aren't we all people of Dahera?
00:57:55We live on the same land,
00:57:57and we are all born equal.
00:57:59But you look down on others.
00:58:02Tell me,
00:58:03shouldn't you be punished?
00:58:06Take him away.
00:58:10The tournament is about to begin.
00:58:12The tournament is about to begin.
00:58:13Everyone, please follow me.
00:58:21How did the Howards get in here?
00:58:27A group of frauds with style over substance.
00:58:30Soon,
00:58:31I'll make them realize what true swordsmanship is.
00:58:36The Sword Duel Tournament
00:58:37is meant to promote exchange and mutual learning.
00:58:40The winner will join the Celestial Sect
00:58:42and be taught by the Sword Saint himself
00:58:44after he returns from retreat.
00:58:46Wow, great.
00:58:49In the past century,
00:58:50those who were lucky enough to learn from him
00:58:52have all become legends in their own right.
00:58:55Blake, Luna,
00:58:56you have to see this opportunity.
00:58:58I'm already very talented,
00:59:00and if I could receive guidance from the Sword Saint himself,
00:59:04I would no doubt ascend to new heights.
00:59:10I am Luna Howard.
00:59:11Greetings to you.
00:59:18I am Jonathan Evans
00:59:20from Cloud Sect.
00:59:21Miss,
00:59:22I challenge you!
00:59:41Bungro Sumtayahara.
00:59:43It's been a long time.
00:59:47How's that happen?
00:59:51Why is he doing here?
00:59:55Who's that?
00:59:56Who's he?
00:59:57So arrogant.
00:59:58He is
00:59:59the highest skilled swordsman from Sakurana,
01:00:02Jude Hill.
01:00:03After countless duels,
01:00:04he's only ever lost to the Sword Saint.
01:00:07Jude,
01:00:08Jude,
01:00:09Celestial Sword Sect is not a place you can barge into as you please.
01:00:12Leave now,
01:00:13or don't blame me for showing no mercy.
01:00:17Now that my Slayer Sword technique has reached perfection,
01:00:20not you,
01:00:21not even the Sword Saint himself could stop me.
01:00:23I'll make him kneel and beg for his worthless life like a dog.
01:00:28You dare insult the Sword Saint?
01:00:33Sir.
01:00:34Luna!
01:00:36His strength is
01:00:37unfathomable.
01:00:38You can't even tooth my first move.
01:00:41You people from the Daihara
01:00:43are nothing but useless truncats and cowards.
01:00:45Once I finish off
01:00:46your so-called Heavenly Sword List in fleets,
01:00:49I'll settle the score
01:00:51with the Sword Saint himself!
01:01:06If words no longer work,
01:01:08then
01:01:09let our swords do the talking!
01:01:19This is
01:01:20the Myriad Technique.
01:01:22Myriad Technique?
01:01:23Yes.
01:01:24This was created by the Sword Saint
01:01:25after he ascended to the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
01:01:28It can absorb chi from nature with a single strike.
01:01:31It can reduce a city to ashes in an instant.
01:01:35Mountain!
01:01:38River!
01:01:44Stars in the sky!
01:01:49Is this the legendary sword technique
01:01:51that embodies the very essence of swordsmanship?
01:01:53It's phenomenal!
01:01:54Although the Sword Deity
01:01:56has only mastered the first move of the Myriad Technique,
01:01:58its power is already overwhelming.
01:02:00He's bound to win.
01:02:01No.
01:02:02He's lost.
01:02:04It looks like Jude is barely holding on.
01:02:06But
01:02:07he's actually absorbing Bruce's chi.
01:02:15What?
01:02:16That's it?
01:02:17You still have a long way to go
01:02:19compared to your master.
01:02:20Your move is feeble
01:02:21and lacking in strength.
01:02:28Master Sword Deity!
01:02:34Master.
01:02:35I'm sorry.
01:02:36I've let you down.
01:02:37I told you to train harder,
01:02:39but you're always slacking off.
01:02:40If you had mastered the second move of Myriad Technique,
01:02:43you could have easily won this duel.
01:02:49But since you did your best,
01:02:51you'd still be a worthy disciple of mine.
01:02:54Master Sword Deity!
01:02:59I knew
01:03:00without a Sword Saint around,
01:03:02I can crush you all
01:03:03with the snap of a finger.
01:03:05Daihara
01:03:06has no real swordsman.
01:03:26Luna!
01:03:27What are you doing?
01:03:28Even the Sword Deity is no match for him.
01:03:30Now only the Sword Saint,
01:03:32who's currently in retreat,
01:03:34could possibly beat him.
01:03:35The Sword Saint once said,
01:03:37your skills may be poor
01:03:38and your desire to win may falter,
01:03:40but your dignity as a swordsman
01:03:41cannot be lost.
01:03:44Enough.
01:03:45Just leave it to me.
01:03:46Adam.
01:03:48Daihara
01:03:49is a nation of cowards.
01:03:50Get on your knees, all of you.
01:03:52Admit you can never compare to Sakuran.
01:03:54Otherwise,
01:03:55every last one of you here
01:03:57will die
01:03:59in your dreams!
01:04:10Anyone else?
01:04:11Come on!
01:04:13Come!
01:04:15I'll fight you!
01:04:20Adam,
01:04:21I know you're a genius,
01:04:22but you're still way too young.
01:04:23You're no match for him for now.
01:04:25Come, leave with me.
01:04:29Don't worry.
01:04:30Adam.
01:04:32Even the Sword Deity couldn't defeat him.
01:04:34Adam will only get himself killed.
01:04:37Right, Adam.
01:04:38Please, you can't go.
01:04:39The man's strength is beyond imagination.
01:04:41Only the Sword Saint, who's in retreat,
01:04:43might stand a chance to defeat him.
01:04:45Don't act on impulse!
01:04:48Let him go.
01:04:53Does Daihara have no men left,
01:04:55sending a kid like him to fight?
01:04:57What if I'm a kid?
01:04:58You're just a swordsman
01:04:59who's from a small island.
01:05:01Although I'm young,
01:05:02I can easily beat you to your knees
01:05:04begging for mercy.
01:05:06Little brat.
01:05:08You wanna die?
01:05:09Fine.
01:05:10I'll kill you
01:05:11along with everyone else.
01:05:14Say whatever you want,
01:05:16because you won't be able to speak
01:05:18pretty soon.
01:05:20Oh no!
01:05:21He's doing that again!
01:05:28Drake!
01:05:40What?
01:05:41Adam counteracted the move
01:05:42that defeated Master Sword Deity?
01:05:44He even knocked Jude back
01:05:45at the same time.
01:05:46What a fast, neat move.
01:05:50Howard's sect has a genius.
01:05:53Impossible.
01:05:54A kid like him
01:05:56wields power that equals
01:05:57the Sword Saints.
01:05:59It's a shame a genius like him
01:06:01was born in an enemy state.
01:06:03I will have to kill you.
01:06:08Oh no!
01:06:10It's Jude's signature move!
01:06:12Kiddo,
01:06:13you're doomed.
01:06:15Have a taste of my true power!
01:06:18Adam, don't just stand there!
01:06:20Run now!
01:06:21Adam, get down!
01:06:23All in one?
01:06:26Drake!
01:06:29One and all!
01:06:34Impossible.
01:06:41Jude!
01:06:43Jude lost!
01:06:44Adam won!
01:06:45Adam won!
01:06:48I just remembered.
01:06:50That move should be the last move
01:06:52of the Murad technique.
01:06:54All in one and one and all.
01:06:57I can't believe
01:06:58Adam actually used that move.
01:07:00At such a young age,
01:07:02he's already mastered
01:07:03the Sword Saints' signature move.
01:07:05If he keeps it up,
01:07:06he will definitely go a long way.
01:07:08Adam is truly a blessing
01:07:11to our family.
01:07:18What did you do to me?
01:07:24I'll spare your life this time,
01:07:26but you won't wield a sword again.
01:07:28Get lost!
01:07:41Why did he have to come
01:07:42and cause trouble?
01:07:44What a waste of my time.
01:07:47Adam.
01:07:48What's up?
01:07:50Can we talk, please?
01:07:54What's wrong?
01:07:56Adam has always been a very shy kid.
01:07:59He has been a lone wolf
01:08:00since he was young
01:08:01and always tried to avoid
01:08:02others' attention.
01:08:03He showed little talent
01:08:04when it comes to sword fight.
01:08:06So as his mother,
01:08:07to protect my son,
01:08:09I've been desperately trying
01:08:11to improve my own skills, but...
01:08:17Ever since you had that favor,
01:08:19everything has changed.
01:08:20It's like you've become
01:08:21a different person.
01:08:23You've become outgoing,
01:08:24unlike what you used to be.
01:08:26Your sword skills
01:08:27improved dramatically.
01:08:28I originally thought
01:08:29you had suddenly
01:08:30become enlightened,
01:08:31but your strength
01:08:32is way too strong.
01:08:33You defeated
01:08:34such a formidable opponent
01:08:35in the last duel
01:08:36and didn't break a sweat.
01:08:38That is far beyond the strength
01:08:39someone at your age should have.
01:08:41My Adam
01:08:42could never reach
01:08:43such a high level
01:08:44however hard he tries.
01:08:45Well...
01:08:48So, I'm positive.
01:08:51You...
01:08:52are not Adam.
01:08:56Uh...
01:08:57Mother...
01:08:58You...
01:08:59You're overthinking it.
01:09:00I've gained confidence
01:09:01after my skills improved.
01:09:03Really?
01:09:04Really.
01:09:05I've grown up.
01:09:06How can I protect you?
01:09:07By hiding behind you.
01:09:12Great.
01:09:13That's great.
01:09:16I guess I'll explain
01:09:17everything to her
01:09:18after I enter
01:09:19the temple tomorrow.
01:09:27Master.
01:09:28Many of our disciples
01:09:29have disappeared.
01:09:30What do we do?
01:09:36No, please!
01:09:38No, please!
01:09:47Tomorrow
01:09:48I'll make the Halberds
01:09:49sit proud and cry!
01:10:00Adam made
01:10:01a tremendous contribution.
01:10:04He put in tremendous effort
01:10:05in this sword duel tournament.
01:10:08It's more than that.
01:10:09He restored the dignity
01:10:10of our entire Dehara.
01:10:12Exactly.
01:10:13If it weren't for Adam
01:10:14turning the tide
01:10:15we would have been
01:10:16completely looked down upon.
01:10:18The Heaven Sword Pavilion
01:10:19Celestial Sword Sect
01:10:20named our Howard Sect
01:10:22as the number one
01:10:23sword sect
01:10:24from all four regions.
01:10:25Let's raise our glasses together
01:10:27and toast our great hero,
01:10:29Adam!
01:10:30Cheers!
01:10:31Cheers!
01:10:38Father.
01:10:39Good.
01:10:42Adam.
01:10:43I didn't recognize
01:10:44your greatness before
01:10:45and I had many
01:10:46misunderstandings about you.
01:10:47But after seeing your strength
01:10:49I truly admire you
01:10:50from the bottom of my heart.
01:10:52You are the great hero
01:10:53of our family.
01:10:54Here.
01:10:55Let me toast you.
01:11:00Why?
01:11:01Are you still mad at me?
01:11:03Look at this.
01:11:04I've been doing pretty well
01:11:05these days, right?
01:11:06I see you in a slightly
01:11:07different light now.
01:11:11Oh, good.
01:11:12That's good.
01:11:13I'll keep working hard.
01:11:18Hey!
01:11:19Don't just stand there!
01:11:20Hurry up and eat!
01:11:24Hey.
01:11:25Sister.
01:11:27Adam's all-forms-as-one
01:11:28was too impressive.
01:11:30What do you think
01:11:31the Sword Saint would feel
01:11:33if he saw a kid
01:11:34replicate his technique?
01:11:36He'd definitely say,
01:11:37well done.
01:11:42Adam.
01:11:43Although you're very skilled
01:11:45you need to be careful.
01:11:46I don't care how strong you are.
01:11:48All I want
01:11:49is for you to be safe.
01:11:53Hmm.
01:11:54Good.
01:11:55Hey.
01:11:56Let's eat.
01:11:57Eat!
01:11:58Come on, come on!
01:11:59Let's drink!
01:12:00Come on.
01:12:01I'd be abandoned by my parents.
01:12:02Yeah.
01:12:03Never thought that someone
01:12:04like me abandoned by my parents
01:12:05at a young age
01:12:06would one day come to know
01:12:07what home feels like.
01:12:08Too bad.
01:12:09Tomorrow when I break
01:12:10into the Celestial Realm
01:12:11I have to return this body.
01:12:14If she finds out
01:12:15that this young boy
01:12:16had already left
01:12:17on the day he had a fever
01:12:18she'll probably be heartbroken.
01:12:26Master.
01:12:27We've had everything prepared.
01:12:28This place is quiet
01:12:29and seclusive.
01:12:30Perfect for cultivation.
01:12:34Today I will enter
01:12:35the Celestial Realm
01:12:37and meet with those
01:12:38heavenly beings.
01:12:44Master.
01:12:45It seems
01:12:46I still haven't completely
01:12:47grasped the essence
01:12:48of Swordsmanship.
01:12:49The threshold of Celestial Realm
01:12:50is much higher than I imagined.
01:12:52I'm still not qualified
01:12:53to gain the recognition
01:12:54of those heavenly beings.
01:12:56But what is the true essence
01:12:58of Swordsmanship?
01:13:00Master,
01:13:01if you aren't qualified
01:13:02then who else in this world
01:13:04can ascend to the Celestial Realm?
01:13:07Master Swordsman
01:13:08I'm afraid
01:13:09I don't know
01:13:10who you are.
01:13:12Master Swordsain
01:13:13something happened.
01:13:14Compose yourself
01:13:15before you speak.
01:13:16What's wrong?
01:13:17Howard's sect is in trouble.
01:13:18What?
01:13:22Have you found him?
01:13:26What should we do?
01:13:27Don't worry.
01:13:28Adam is exceptionally strong.
01:13:30No one will be able to hurt him.
01:13:31Maybe
01:13:32he just went out to play.
01:13:33Exactly.
01:13:34He's a kid.
01:13:35He can't be naughty.
01:13:41Mr. Howard
01:13:42long time no see.
01:13:45Are you
01:13:46Harrison?
01:13:48How did he end up like this?
01:13:51It's said that those
01:13:52who practice black magic
01:13:53develop red hair
01:13:54in crimson ice.
01:13:55Could it be
01:13:56he has sold his soul
01:13:57to the devil?
01:13:59Speak.
01:14:00What do you want?
01:14:01Why are you here?
01:14:02What are you after this time?
01:14:04I want
01:14:05revenge.
01:14:06Revenge?
01:14:07Yes,
01:14:08revenge.
01:14:09I want
01:14:10revenge.
01:14:14Harrison
01:14:15when we had a life and death duel
01:14:16the Thompson sect already lost.
01:14:19According to the rules
01:14:20you can only challenge us again
01:14:21after three years.
01:14:23Rules?
01:14:24I make my own rules now.
01:14:27This isn't a place
01:14:28for you to mess around.
01:14:31Be careful.
01:14:40Huh?
01:14:46This is bad.
01:14:47He made a deal
01:14:48with the devil.
01:14:49Only the swordsman
01:14:50can defeat him.
01:14:52Harrison
01:14:53don't you know that
01:14:54practicing black magic
01:14:55will shorten your life span?
01:14:58At most
01:14:59you will live another year.
01:15:00Do you really think
01:15:01it's worth it?
01:15:02Yes.
01:15:03You destroyed my family
01:15:05left me with nothing
01:15:06and made me a laughingstock.
01:15:08The reputation I gained
01:15:09after a decade of hard work
01:15:10was gone.
01:15:11I have nothing left to lose.
01:15:13All I want to do now
01:15:14is to kill every last one of you.
01:15:16The life and death duel
01:15:17was forced upon us by you.
01:15:19You have no one else to blame
01:15:20but yourself.
01:15:21I don't care.
01:15:22I will drag your family
01:15:23down with me.
01:15:25Where's that arrogant
01:15:26brat of yours?
01:15:27He made me bark like a dog.
01:15:30Today
01:15:31I will beat him up
01:15:32to a bloody pulp.
01:15:33If you hand him over
01:15:34maybe I'll consider
01:15:36sparing the life
01:15:37of the eldest son of yours.
01:15:39Keep him as my slave
01:15:40for the rest of his life.
01:15:43Master
01:15:44you just came back.
01:15:45It cost you a lot of energy.
01:15:47You're not fit to fight right now.
01:15:49If the opponent is strong...
01:15:50I'm fine.
01:15:52You stay and hold the fort.
01:15:53But...
01:15:54I was abandoned
01:15:55by my parents when I was little.
01:15:57Madison is pretty much
01:15:58like my second mother.
01:15:59She has been taking
01:16:00good care of me these days.
01:16:02I'm indebted to her.
01:16:03I have to go.
01:16:08How is it?
01:16:09No way!
01:16:11Even if
01:16:12every one of you
01:16:13come at me together
01:16:14your chance of
01:16:15defeating me
01:16:16is next to impossible.
01:16:17As long as there's
01:16:18a chance to win
01:16:19even if it costs my life
01:16:20I'm willing to give it a go.
01:16:21Father?
01:16:38I said
01:16:39as long as you
01:16:40hand over that brat
01:16:42I might consider
01:16:43sparing the rest of you.
01:16:44He's my brother.
01:16:45Don't even think about it.
01:16:51Is that so?
01:16:55Luna!
01:16:56Jess!
01:16:57You...
01:17:00You guys are really stubborn.
01:17:02You won't hand him over
01:17:03will you?
01:17:04Then don't blame me.
01:17:08Who...
01:17:14Who did it?
01:17:17Me, you despicable dog!
01:17:22Adam?
01:17:23Adam!
01:17:24Adam, where have you been?
01:17:26I...
01:17:28It's a long story.
01:17:29I'll explain it to you later.
01:17:32Great.
01:17:33Adam's much stronger than us.
01:17:36He'll teach Harrison
01:17:37a good lesson
01:17:39without breaking a sweat.
01:17:40Thank goodness
01:17:41we have Adam.
01:17:43Brat.
01:17:44I was just worried
01:17:45I couldn't find you.
01:17:46You came right to me.
01:17:49Just for revenge
01:17:50you actually made a deal
01:17:51with the devil
01:17:52in exchange of power.
01:17:53My current strength
01:17:54is on par with
01:17:55the sword saint.
01:17:56You're all about
01:17:57to die by my hands.
01:17:59You have no right
01:18:00to judge me.
01:18:01I hope your sword skill
01:18:02is better than your speech.
01:18:06No!
01:18:14Adam! Adam!
01:18:21I didn't expect the strength
01:18:22of Harrison
01:18:23to reach this level.
01:18:25How could this be?
01:18:26Impossible!
01:18:27Leave!
01:18:28All of you!
01:18:29I was weakened
01:18:30by the previous fight.
01:18:31I'm no longer his match.
01:18:32But I can still help you guys
01:18:33buy some time.
01:18:34What are you talking about?
01:18:35You're my brother.
01:18:36We're family.
01:18:37How could we leave you behind?
01:18:38That's right.
01:18:39You are the best swordsman
01:18:40ever of our family.
01:18:42We'll protect you
01:18:43with our lives.
01:18:45You don't need to do this for me.
01:18:48Actually, I...
01:18:53I'm not Adam.
01:18:56What are you talking about?
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05I lied to you before.
01:19:08I'm actually the sword saint,
01:19:09Lucas Ward.
01:19:12What about my son?
01:19:13What about my son?
01:19:15He...
01:19:17He already passed away
01:19:18on the day he had the fever.
01:19:20And I borrowed his body
01:19:22to ascend to the celestial realm.
01:19:24So it was me who won these duels.
01:19:26It wasn't Adam's doing.
01:19:27Okay, I've heard enough from...
01:19:31Sorry.
01:19:32I lied to you all.
01:19:34So you don't need to
01:19:35risk your lives for me.
01:19:38Just go.
01:19:45Tell us, sword saint.
01:19:47What do you need us to do
01:19:48to defeat him?
01:19:50But I'm not Adam.
01:19:51So what if you're not?
01:19:53Right.
01:19:54In our hearts,
01:19:55you and Adam are the same.
01:19:56You're both our family.
01:19:59But she...
01:20:05I think Adam wouldn't want to
01:20:06see his idol lose.
01:20:08Don't worry.
01:20:09We will do our best to help you.
01:20:10Tell us.
01:20:11How can we defeat him?
01:20:16Not perfect
01:20:17to enter the celestial realm.
01:20:18I never thought
01:20:20the end of swordmanship
01:20:21would be mine.
01:20:25What a shame.
01:20:26It's too late.
01:20:27Harrison won't give me time
01:20:28to ascend to the next level.
01:20:29Don't worry.
01:20:30Our Howard family
01:20:31will protect you well.
01:20:33That's right, sword saint.
01:20:35Leave the rest to us.
01:20:37I've always wanted
01:20:38to kick his butt.
01:20:40Never mind him.
01:20:41We'll handle it.
01:20:43But...
01:20:44Don't worry.
01:20:52Have you bidden
01:20:53each other farewell?
01:20:55He who laughs last
01:20:56laughs best!
01:20:59You are putting your hopes
01:21:00on this little guy?
01:21:01If I'm not mistaken.
01:21:03You'd better give up.
01:21:05Maybe he was once
01:21:06the unrivaled sword saint,
01:21:08but now
01:21:09his strength
01:21:10has diminished greatly.
01:21:12I can squash him
01:21:13like squashing an ant!
01:21:15Wanna hurt him?
01:21:16You'll have to go through us first.
01:21:19Pathetic.
01:21:20You think you can stop me?
01:21:21Then let's have some fun!
01:21:25Luna!
01:21:27You're the big sister, huh?
01:21:28Just say it.
01:21:29The Howers can't compare
01:21:30to the Thompson's.
01:21:32If you do,
01:21:33maybe I'll give you
01:21:34a quick death.
01:21:35You offered your soul
01:21:36to the devil
01:21:37in exchange of power.
01:21:38What's there to be proud of?
01:21:40My family
01:21:41serves the sword saint only!
01:21:43Yeah?
01:21:44Sister!
01:21:50Who else can stop me?
01:21:52I'll kill you!
01:21:56Blake!
01:21:59Just wait.
01:22:01You won't be laughing
01:22:02for long.
01:22:05Stop dreaming!
01:22:06With the snap of a finger,
01:22:08I can wipe out
01:22:09your entire family!
01:22:11Sword saint,
01:22:12this is all we can do
01:22:13for you now.
01:22:23Is that all you've got?
01:22:25Sword saint,
01:22:26it's your turn.
01:22:30I've practiced sword play
01:22:31all my life,
01:22:32yet I'm not capable
01:22:33of buying some time
01:22:34for the sword saint.
01:22:37If the sword saint died,
01:22:38the way of the sword
01:22:40would end with him.
01:22:49Stop.
01:22:50Stop where you are.
01:22:52You're as irritating
01:22:53as a cockroach.
01:22:55Stupid woman,
01:22:56you think you can stop me?
01:22:57I will never
01:22:58let you lay
01:22:59a finger on him.
01:23:00He's not even your own son.
01:23:01Why are you doing this?
01:23:03After spending
01:23:04so much time together,
01:23:06we have long considered him
01:23:07family.
01:23:08And I
01:23:09consider him
01:23:10my own son as well.
01:23:12Today,
01:23:13even if it costs me
01:23:14my life,
01:23:16I will never
01:23:17allow you to hurt him.
01:23:21Impressive.
01:23:24Too bad.
01:23:26You won't have a chance
01:23:27to hurt him again.
01:23:33Why is it getting so dark?
01:23:36Adam's reached
01:23:37the next level.
01:23:53You're the one
01:23:54who's gonna die.
01:23:57Bluffing, aren't you?
01:23:58You already lost to me
01:23:59in our last duel.
01:24:00You seriously think
01:24:01you can make
01:24:02a comeback now?
01:24:03Guess so.
01:24:05Yeah.
01:24:06Keep pretending.
01:24:08No matter how convincing
01:24:09your act is,
01:24:10your whole family
01:24:11will be slaughtered
01:24:12by me,
01:24:13one by one.
01:24:15I see you.
01:24:22Impossible.
01:24:28Impossible.
01:24:30How could I lose
01:24:31to that brat?
01:24:44Is this the power
01:24:45of the Celestial Realm?
01:24:47No wonder he's
01:24:48the best swordsman ever.
01:24:50He was never the sword
01:24:51Saint's match
01:24:52from the beginning.
01:24:53I'll leave Harrison's body
01:24:54to you guys.
01:24:55Yes.
01:24:56Now you are safe.
01:24:57I'll head back
01:24:58to the Celestial Sect.
01:25:01Don't worry.
01:25:02I'll have someone
01:25:03bring Adam's body
01:25:04back to you soon.
01:25:10Master.
01:25:12You're now capable enough
01:25:13to take over
01:25:14the Celestial Sect.
01:25:16I still have a long way
01:25:17to go compared to you.
01:25:19No.
01:25:20It's time for me
01:25:21to step down now.
01:25:22Master,
01:25:23why do you
01:25:24suddenly want to retire?
01:25:26Why?
01:25:32Madison.
01:25:35You've been in low spirits
01:25:36all day.
01:25:37Adam up in Heaven
01:25:39wouldn't want to see you
01:25:40like this.
01:25:43I'm fine.
01:25:54Right.
01:25:56Adam wouldn't want to see me
01:25:57like this.
01:25:59I need to be strong.
01:26:09But...
01:26:12But Adam is the person
01:26:13I love the most
01:26:14in this life.
01:26:17How can I accept
01:26:18he died?
01:26:21Adam...
01:26:24Adam...
01:26:27It's all my fault.
01:26:30It's all my fault
01:26:31for not protecting you well.
01:26:39Who is it?
01:26:45Mother!
01:26:49Adam!
01:26:52Adam!
01:26:53It's you!
01:26:54Is it really you?
01:26:57I woke up and a big brother
01:26:58brought me back!
01:27:03Master,
01:27:04exhaust three lifetimes
01:27:05of cultivation
01:27:06in exchange for
01:27:07Adam's rebirth.
01:27:09Please,
01:27:11don't let him down.
01:27:15How could it be?
01:27:26These past days,
01:27:27you cared for me
01:27:28like a mother.
01:27:29So I made this decision.
01:27:31You don't need to feel
01:27:32sorry for me.
01:27:33I've reached the end
01:27:34of the way of the sword.
01:27:36Moreover,
01:27:37as an orphan,
01:27:38I once only had
01:27:39my sword as companion.
01:27:40You let me experience
01:27:41something I've never felt
01:27:42before,
01:27:43a mother's love.
01:27:45It's
01:27:46worth it.
01:27:57Adam,
01:27:58remember,
01:27:59this is the man
01:28:00who saved your life.
01:28:01Without him,
01:28:02you wouldn't be
01:28:03standing here today.
01:28:06Mother!
01:28:08Owen,
01:28:09what's up?
01:28:10I just created
01:28:11a set of sword techniques.
01:28:12I want you to take a look.
01:28:14Sure.
01:28:27You're amazing.
01:28:28At such a young age,
01:28:29you can wield the sword
01:28:30skillfully.
01:28:36Wait.
01:28:38This sword technique
01:28:39seems similar
01:28:40to that of
01:28:41the Sword Saint.
01:28:47So,
01:28:48what do you plan to name
01:28:49this set of techniques?
01:28:50I don't know.
01:28:51Maybe
01:28:52I should
01:28:53call it
01:28:54Mirio.
01:28:55What do you plan to name
01:28:56this set of techniques?
01:28:58How about
01:29:00Mirio technique?
01:29:01Is it good?
01:29:05Good.
