Hello.
Grandmaster.
Your Qimen Manipulation was exposed, right?
I had no choice.
My opponent was too strong.
I had to use that.
-How did you know I used-- -Why are you coming back to Wudang?
After that terrible bloodbath,
Wudang suffered heavy casualties.
I've already booked a flight back…
The Jiashen Calamity!
THE 7TH DAY OF THE 2ND MONTH THE YEAR OF JIASHEN
Taoist Wang.
Are you guys
going back?
Apparently.
Zhuge Bai.
You should work on your bravery.
Why should I?
I have tons of them.
Jeez, you're way too slow.
I'll wait for you down there.
Hey.
Take your own suitcase.
No!
Why are you struggling with just one suitcase?
Drop the act, drama king.
What's in your suitcase?
Bye.
Right, Taoist Wang.
Actually, you gave Zhang Chulan the chance.
But he made his choice.
I'm here to provide you with a choice,
not to make the choice for you.
Speaking of which, it's your own choice
to present yourself in Mount Longhu, right?
You…
You used Enhance Hearing against us.
Since you've already made the choice,
no need to feel torn
or pull a long face.
I didn't pull a long face.
In fact, you and Zhang Chulan are the same.
You did something you shouldn't.
Well,
I actually detest troubles.
But if you're in trouble,
I'll give you a hand.
It's not that I'll go out on a limb for you.
That sounds rather pretentious.
But I'll do anything in my power
to help you.
Off you go.
I shouldn't have befriended you.
I can't have my own secrets.
I need to remain mysterious, you know?
But I want to be your friend.
Bye!
Perhaps I might come to you
when I get bored one day.
I said, I will.
What's with him?

OUTSIDER MARTIAL ARTS CONTEST TOP EIGHT
FENG SHAYAN VS FENG BAOBAO
Next round,
Feng Shayan
versus Feng Baobao.
Feng Shayan
is the elder sister of Feng Xingtong.
She is no pushover.
Do you remember
her fight with Jia Zhengliang in the last round?
Mind you,
Feng Baobao isn't weak.
Up till now, we can't figure out
which sect Feng Baobao comes from.
The duel between two tough ladies
must be epic.
Here comes Feng Baobao!
Feng Baobao.
I've been waiting
to have a spar with you.
What are you looking at?
Zhang Chulan.
I'll fight you after this, right?
No problem.
Where are you going?
Come back!
I'm here to remove obstacles for Zhang Chulan.
Given your current strength,
you're harmless to him.
My job is done.
Feng Baobao,
you're in the middle of the contest.
Do you want to resign?
Feng Baobao, you scoundrel!
Mr. Feng.
What are you…
Never mind.
He can handle this.
Shayan,
Last night, I told you to put your feet up.
You don't have to come today.
-Dad-- -I told you before.
You're no match for Feng Baobao.
Everyone knows you're injured.
They won't look down on you if you don't come here.
Instead, they will think that you comported yourself well.
I know you have a problem with Feng Baobao,
thinking that you'll lose face if she defeats you.
Grow up.
No, it's not about that, Dad.
What's your reason, then?
She has already cut you some slack,
yet you wanted to raise a fist against her.
Do you think your behavior is dignifying?
Apologize to Feng Baobao
and admit your defeat.
By minimum cost,
do you mean me?
Yes.
Shayan,
you're the only one in this family
who doesn't harness Dispatch of Detained Spirits.
But you should know
that I've never held it against you.
Isn't that right?
Feng Baobao.
I…
Cut that out!
Taste this.
Zhengliang.
Listen to me and stop this game.
You should know where you are.
Why must I listen to you?
Don't you lecture me.
You're her father, not mine.
You can't tell me what to do.
Don't talk to my dad like that.
I'm helping you.
Zip it!
Feng Baobao.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one to blame.
Why are you apologizing to her?
You've been wanting to challenge this opponent this whole time.
Is that so wrong?
You're furious because you feel humiliated.
Is that wrong too?
You obey any orders he gives.
You're his child,
not his dog.
I said, zip it!
Stay here if you want.
Dad.
I've crossed the line.
I'm sorry.
I admit my defeat.
Shayan.
Feng Baobao.
I'm sorry about my girl.
Shayan.
Wait for me, Shayan.
Shayan.
I didn't mean to embarrass you.
Also, you beat me so hard.
How nice.
Feng Shayan versus Feng Baobao.
The winner is
Feng Baobao.

FENG BAOBAO ADVANCED TO THE TOP FOUR, FENG SHAYAN IS ELIMINATED
I don't think this is good, though.
This was going to be my first real fight here.
But now I've effortlessly advanced to the final.
Are you happy?
Next round,
Round of 16.
Feng Xingtong
versus Wang Bing.
FENG XINGTONG, WANG BING
Really?
Do you possess a qi spirit too?
Very well.
It's time for me to show mine off.
This is ridiculous.
This is a humiliation for Master Kunsheng.
-Exactly. -He summons Master Kunsheng
as if it's a pet.
Chairman Feng.
You're here too, Mr. Wang.
My grandson Wang Bing
is against Xingtong in this round.
Of course, I must be here.
Come on, Master Liu.
Please lend me your power.
Hey, come down.
Animal,
come to my summon now.
Dispatch of Detained Spirits?
Mr. Wang.
-You-- -Watch the match.
Do you know that too?
He's not invoking the qi spirit.
He's consuming the qi spirit instead.
Once I consume that animal,
I'll become invincible.
Oh, no! Master Liu is in danger.
Let's fight them!
Gentlemen.
Do you not know the rules?
You're not allowed
to intervene.
I, Deng Youcai--
Youcai! Don't do it.
Don't invoke any qi spirits
in front of them.
Master Liu has never suffered such a humiliation
when it was with us.
The one who stole Master Liu from you was Feng Xingtong.
Put your blame on this brat.
Darn it!
I guess I'm left with no choice.
Grandpa Zizhong,
I'm counting on you now.
If I'm not mistaken,
this qi spirit
is the medical savant Mr. Wang Zizhong, am I right?
Grandpa Zizhong,
please transform into needles
as a supplementary.
Pierce into my major meridians
to circulate the qi throughout my body.
Even though it's going to have a severe impact on my body,
that's the best option for now.
I can never allow Master Liu
to be taken by this twerp.
Brat!
You are determined to screw things up for me, huh?
Master Liu,
come
here!
Detained Spirit.
Set free.
Thank you, Xingtong.
Take Master Liu and leave.
Leave Zhangxi.
Now!
Wang.
I admit--
I won't allow it.
Let go of me.
Bloody hell.
You made me miss such a wonderful tonic.
Compensate for my loss!
Right, I almost forgot it.
The thing you invoked just now was intriguing.
Show yourself.
Sheesh, an old man?
Fine.
Let me taste it.
I shall see what I can get
after eating this old man.
Let go of Grandpa Zizhong.
Let go of him!
Come back!
Darn it!
I've reached my limits.
Grandpa Zizhong.
Dear Xingtong,
you're going to inherit my healing skills.
All right?
FENG XINGTONG, SIX YEARS OLD
Sure!
FENG XINGTONG, SIX YEARS OLD
Zhenghao.
I asked for you
because I want to know more
about Dispatch of Detained Spirits.
Is it as amazing as you said?
Well, I was drunk last time, and I was just bragging.
Cut that out.
We're friends, aren't we?
I know the weight
your word
can carry.
Zhenghao.
Let me be frank with you.
I'm nearing my end.
At one's death, their primordial spirit disperses,
their qi turns into thin air,
while the body turns into earth.
Can Dispatch of Detained Spirits
keep the primordial spirit intact
and nourish the wielder
in the form of a qi spirit?
In addition, the wielder can inherit
the primordial spirit's ability.
Is that true?
Yes.
I'm sorry to tell you that it's true.
Xingtong.
Come here.
Are you calling me, Grandpa?
Tell me.
Has your father taught you that?
Yes.
You'll inherit my healing skills
after my passing, all right?
-Sure! -How dare you!
Don't yell at him.
You're scaring him.
Sit here.
My boy is too insensible.
But what you said just now
-is kind of reckless. -Reckless?
Will the spirits you detained
suffer?
No, they won't.
Unless we mean to harm them.
That's perfect, then.
But I revere you as a senior.
The Feng family must not summon you like a tool--
It's okay.
Bodies have their limits, but primordial spirits could be retained.
I've already donated
my body.
After my death,
they can use it for research purposes.
To be helpful to the younger generation
is something wonderful
for a physician like me.
Zhenghao.
I adore this boy.
And I trust you too.
I'm counting on you.
Sir.
Is it because
you can't forget about your wife?
You want to stay in this world for a while more,
even with your primordial spirit.
Zhenghao.
Please.
Xingtong.
Kneel.
Grandpa Zizhong.
Get up.
Grandpa Zizhong.
I adore this boy.
After my death,
please make my primordial spirit
useful.
Dispatch of Detained Spirits.
Crush it into thin air.
Scatter.
Grandpa Zizhong.
I'm so sorry.
Mr. Feng.
How petty of you.
You'd rather shatter this old thing
than give him to me.
Chairman Feng.
It's only a match between two young men.
Let's not intervene, all right?
This is not a match.
Wang Bing is going to kill Xingtong!
Chairman Feng.
Just now, you asked me
how our family managed to master Dispatch of Detained Spirits, no?
The one who imparted us with the skill
is your own grandfather,
Feng Tianyang.
What are you doing?
How dare you--
The contestant has already fallen.
This match has ended.
If you haven't had enough fight
you can fight me.
Get that arrogance off your face.
Even your Chief Celestial Taoist
has to respect my great-grandpa.
Feng Xingtong versus Wang Bing.
The winner is
Wang Bing.
OUTSIDER MARTIAL ARTS CONTEST TOP EIGHT
WANG BING ADVANCED TO THE TOP FOUR; FENG XINGTONG IS ELIMINATED
Where are you going?
That old geezer can't even manage his grandson well.
I'll do it for him.
Stand right there.
Chairman Feng.
My grandson has crossed the line.
I told him to hold back.
I didn't expect
Xingtong would hurt so badly.
Shayan. You may leave.
Leave the room.
She can stay.
Mr. Wang.
You should tell me
how your family
managed to master Dispatch of Detained Spirits.
Like I said,
it was your grandfather who taught us.
I know you don't believe this.
But think about it carefully.
As descendants of creators the Eight Supremes,
Zhang Huaiyi
and Zhang Chulan
have been in hiding
for their whole life.
But the Feng family
have been living such a glorious life.
It's because my father
protected your family back then.
Back then, after your grandfather, Feng Tianyang,
was separated from the other traitors,
he fell into the hands of the Wang family.
Mr. Wang.
I beg of you!
I will do anything for you
as long as you spare me.
Mr. Wang, please!
I beg of you!
I didn't expect Feng Tianyang to be so spineless.
He kept begging my father
to spare his life,
and he promised to do anything for us.
If you hand over the skills of Dispatch of Detained Spirits
to the Wang family,
I'll let you live.
Not only that, I'll keep your whole family safe
with the influence of the Wang family.
Feng Tianyang didn't hesitate.
Aside from handing over the skills,
he swore to Heaven
that he wouldn't impart the complete skills
to his descendants, if he had any.
To repay our kindness,
he even gave away
the names of the Eight Supremes he knew.
Sadly,
he didn't know about the other Eight Supremes
that thoroughly.
Eventually, the other leaders
agreed to spare Feng Tianyang.
They probably knew
about the deal between my father and Feng Tianyang.
Therefore,
they didn't ask for his skills.
Because everyone
knows clearly
that whoever captures the creator
will obtain the Eight Supremes.
Why
didn't the elders mention this before?
Sit.
This was highly confidential
in the Outsiders' world back then.
Naturally,
you wouldn't know about it.
You know about it now, huh?
The glories that you enjoy now
are all thanks to each and every kowtow
that Feng Tianyang did
and his betrayal against his accomplices.
The Wang family
protected you.
How do you feel now?
Mr. Feng.
Your grandfather
never told you
about this glorious story, did he?
Dad!
You enlightened me.
I've been accepting Wang family's kindness
and yet I didn't know about it.
My hubris blinded me,
and I even thought I could deal with you as an equal.
Feng Zhenghao. Don't give me that.
To be frank,
I truly
despise you.
Mr. Wang,
it's understandable that you loathe me.
Looking back
on my shameful act before you,
I'm so ashamed that I want to find a hole to crawl into.
What are you doing?
I kowtow
not because of you.
I kowtow
to appreciate your father's kindness in sparing the Feng family.
From now on,
I, Feng Zhenghao,
am at your beck and call.
All-Encompassing Guild
is at your service.
What are you doing?
Come on. Get up.
You don't have to do this, Chairman Feng.
I was just reminiscing about the old past with you.
Chairman Feng.
No need to overthink it.
No.
You're right to have enlightened me.
Today,
I came here to clear up your confusion.
Chairman Feng, you're a sensible man.
I'm glad about this.
Well, it's getting late.
Wang Bing has a match tomorrow morning.
I shall leave now.
Sure. Let me see you out.
Our families have such a long history before.
We should get closer to each other.
Exactly.
Well, you may stop here.
Mr. Wang. Take care.
Shayan.
You can't accept what has happened just now, right?
I knelt not because I was afraid of them.
My concern is that the Jiashen Calamity would resurge.
Compared to this secret,
that mere grudge
is nothing.
You have to endure this.

You're great, Zhang Chulan.
I'm no match for you.

Zhang Chulan won.
-It's rigged! -It's rigged!
-We want a refund! -We want a refund!
By the way, fellow audiences,
no one is allowed
to intervene in the middle of a match.
But when the match is over,
Celestial Taoist Mansion isn't responsible
for what happens in the arena.
-Shameless! -Punch him!
Ms. Bao, get up now.
We're busted.
Get up now.
I can't stand this anymore.
I must go down
and punch the crap out of him!
Zhang Chulan!
You're dead meat!
Charge!
Lian.
I'm at my limits now.
Rascal.
Do you take us for a fool?
Put some effort into your acting, wouldn't you?
You're infuriating!
They have such keen eyes, right?
They can even figure this out when my acting is so convincing.
Are you kidding me?
That was the dumbest acting I've ever seen.
Zhang Lingyu.
Come on and start now.
They won't beat me if you start your match right now.
I will still beat you.
After finishing him, I'll beat you up tomorrow.
This is bad.
This brat has totally ruined our company's image.
That's too fake indeed.
Why couldn't they pretend
using my 18 Formidable Ways?

How can this be?
No one can defeat me.
You're a fake!
No one could beat my skills this easily.
Impossible.
It's Feng Xingtong's fault.
He should've let me swallow his Serpent Spirit.
That old guy, Lu Jin, is wrong too.
Why did he present Infinite Heavenly Talisman
as the prize?
Great-grandpa is wrong too.
He shouldn't have sent me for the contest!
He should have just asked for it from Lu Jin!
Are you done?
I thought the most shameless rascal I'd seen
was Zhang Chulan.
To my surprise,
you're worse.
You're wrong.
All of you are wrong.
Not only are you shameless,
but you're also a wimp.
I was born
to be at the summit.
Obtaining everything I want is my privilege.
I want Master Liu.
I want Infinite Heavenly Talisman.
They should all be mine.
But
why are there so many obstacles in my way?
Why are trashes like you
in my way?
You're wrong.
All of you are…

Before the final match,

You don't have to be concerned
