[I'm Nobody]

[Episode 9]

[This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to existing entities is purely coincidental.]

[All actions and abilities performed are fictional and should not be imitated.]

Dad.

Why is Dad here?

He wanted to watch Zhang Chulan's match

and insisted on bringing me here.

Zhang Chulan is quite popular now.

Popular?

Agitating them is more like it.

People are here

to see him get beaten up.

Ms. Bao,

Zhang Chulan's match is about to start.

Why are you still sleeping?

Aren't you worried?

What's there to worry about?

He'll definitely win.

The opponent is Green Talisman God, Shan Shitong,

who specializes in sealing energy flow.

Zhang Chulan will win anyway.

Nan!

[Zhang Chulan VS Shan Shitong] Round Three for Top 32 Elimination Round.

Zhang Chulan against Shan Shitong.

Please bring the contestants in.

Shameless!

Zhang Chulan!

Shameless!

Zhang Chulan!

Shameless!

Zhang Chulan!

Shameless!

Shameless Zhang Chulan!

[Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders] Zhang Chulan, you're shameless!

[Lyu Ci, one of the Ten Elders] Zhang Chulan, you're shameless!

I heard

Chief Celestial Taoist

is trying to ensure Zhang Chulan's victory

and hand over Tianshidu and Infinite Heavenly Talisman

to him.

Shameless Zhang Chulan!

What's going on?

Where is Shan Shitong?

Shan Shitong.

Shan Shitong,

please enter the arena at once.

He's nowhere to be found.

Did you search everywhere?

Yes.

If Shan Shitong doesn't show up,

does that mean I win?

Since Shan Shitong didn't enter the arena on time,

it's considered a forfeit.

The winner

is Zhang Chulan.

It's a conspiracy! Conspiracy!

I will not accept this result!

Zhang Chulan,

I'll expose you

for the despicable person you are!

Zhang Chulan,

stop right there!

Stop running!

Don't run!

Stay still!

I'm going to beat you up today!

Didn't they say

no one should interfere in the tournament

in any way?

Even if I have to use only one hand today,

I'll fight you.

Kid,

the Outsider Martial Arts Contest

is not the place for your personal vendetta.

Sir,

let me go.

I'm not disrespecting Mount Longhu

or the Outsider Martial Arts Contest.

I just can't stand this guy.

Zhang Chulan,

if you're a real man,

you should fight me fair and square.

I wonder what tricks

this kid is playing again.

[Ten hours ago]

Mr. Shan,

you must be hungry.

Do you want a bite?

I'm not hungry!

Why are you drooling so much if you're not hungry?

I don't want it!

Zhang Chulan,

you shameless scoundrel!

Despicable!

Shameless!

You animal!

Ms. Bao,

is there no more room for negotiation?

What do you want?

Ms. Bao,

how about I fight him first

and test his strength?

If I win,

I won't be afraid of him tomorrow.

If I lose,

I'll bury him myself.

We're not at the Outsiders Martial Arts Contest arena.

If you lose, I won't help you.

Do you dare to fight?

Why not?

Bring it on!

After I take care of him,

I'll settle the score with you madwoman!

[Vermilion Book taking effect]

Come on.

Shan, keep it going.

As you said, you'll settle scores with Feng Baobao

after you defeat me.

You've already sealed my meridians.

It's the perfect time for you to attack.

Do you think I'm a fool?

We've been fighting for so long.

You've kept using my moves against me.

Shan,

I've never experienced what you had.

I've only fought with a few Outsiders,

including you,

about four or five times.

It's really hard to meet

an opponent like you.

But, Shan, you're not losing out either.

After fighting for a while,

didn't you notice your weakness?

I admit

your Vermilion Book is impressive.

But you rely too much on it.

And it's powered

by your qi.

The more you use your qi,

the more powerful it is.

But your agility becomes slower.

That's why I manage

to dodge your attacks.

If I hadn't wanted to test

the power of your Vermilion Book,

I wouldn't have been hit.

Shan,

you can try

distributing your qi now.

But it might be challenging for you.

After all, it's an old problem.

Shan, where are you going?

Home.

I can't defeat you.

I'm not obligated to be your sparring partner,

much less responsible

to make you stronger.

Zhang Chulan,

congratulations

on making it to the Top 16.

Zhang Chulan,

fight me fair and square.

Shameless, Zhang Chulan!

This guy is becoming more adorable.

Dad,

why do you like him so much?

Take your time to know him.

But from now on,

you must get closer

to this kid.

What do you think

about Zhang Chulan?

Let's get to know him more first.

And disregard the Chief Celestial Taoist?

He's still not one of the Celestial Taoist Mansion.

Do you think

the Chief Celestial Taoist has the right to tell him what to do?

We can still invite him over for a chat.

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 32 Elimination Round]

[Zhang Chulan, Qualified for the Top 16]

[Zhang Chulan]

Zang Long was knocked down again.

As long as he persists in this duel,

Lu Linglong will have a meal with him as promised.

That's the power of love!

Zang Long's resilience against attacks

is the strongest among Outsiders.

Strong and durable.

Ordinary attacks can't harm him at all.

Let's see if Zang Long

can stand up again.

This

is what men should watch in a match.

Qi's Form.

Zang Long is putting in all his effort

just to have a meal with Linglong.

He's taking hits like a resilient thousand-year-old turtle.

Please

surrender.

Zang Long,

Linglong is waiting for you to have a meal!

Shut up!

He...

He's not knocked down yet.

But will Spiritual Master Lingyu

have the patience

to continue wasting time on him?

Don't get up!

Calm down.

(For Linglong,)

(I must hang in there.)

(I won't be knocked down easily.)

(I've already made a reservation at the restaurant.)

(There's no way I'm falling here.)

(Linglong,)

(I can do it.)

Zhang Chulan,

if only you could take hits like this.

Every time I hit you,

you always whimper.

That doesn't look like a servant and a master.

His superpower is enduring hits.

Before Zang Long went into the arena,

he made a bet with Lu Linglong.

If he could hold on in this match,

Linglong promised to have dinner with him.

Why must he endure hits

just to have dinner?

That's love.

You won't understand even if I tell you.

It's the Lightning Palm!

This attack ignored defense

and pierced through Zang Long's body.

Zang Long

forced Zhang Lingyu

to use Celestial Taoist Mansion's Lightning Technique

for the first time in the match!

It was black lightning.

Wow!

That's cool!

Look at the abstinent-looking Taoist Zhang,

he seems to have no faith in love.

He didn't want to waste time.

So he resorted to the Lightning Technique to stimulate Zang Long's meridians,

causing him to suffer from organ injuries and fall.

Zhang Lingyu defeated his opponent with one powerful move.

The winner

is Zhang Lingyu!

Zhang Lingyu's attack

not only ends the match

but

also Zang Long's love.

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 32 Elimination Round]

[Zhang Lingyu, Qualified for the Top 16. Zang Long, Eliminated]

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 16 Elimination Round]

[Zhang Lingyu, Qualified for the Top 16]

[Soul-Breaking Palm]

The legendary Soul-Breaking Palm of the Hu family from Dongxiang Village

truly lives up to its reputation.

The winner

is Hu Sheng.

He was too harsh.

He doesn't look like he's here for the tournament.

He's clearly playing a life-or-death battle.

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 32 Elimination Round]

[Hu Sheng, Qualified for the Top 16]

[Hu Sheng]

Mom,

I'm eating well here.

It's just that the mattress is too soft.

It's not as comfortable as our heated brick bed at home.

Mister,

can I have some more?

I know.

Don't worry.

Tossing ring, I see.

No!

There was no girl.

There's no girl here.

I'm washing my feet,

preparing to go to bed.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay.

The west's Jia family descendant

sure has the heart of a young girl.

You must be the young lady

of the Feng family.

I haven't settled scores with your family

about what happened to my older brother.

Your brother's skills

are inferior,

and he lacks integrity

by resorting to sneak attacks.

It was disgusting.

Don't let me run into you at the tournament.

When that happens, don't blame me

for being too hard on you.

What are you doing?

[No superpowers allowed. Don't even try to bribe me!]

It's useless after reading it.

I look down on people like you

who

only...

only rely on superpowers.

She got it.

I still win without using superpowers.

For you.

You were just lucky.

I can do it too.

I use my abilities.

Keep it.

See you around.

What...

[Hu Sheng]

[Hu Jie]

What are you doing?

I'm hungry.

Hungry?

Let's grab something to eat if you're hungry.

Come on.

Where are you going?

Where are you off to?

You haven't told me what you want to eat.

So, is this what you meant?

You have pretty good taste.

But don't say I didn't remind you.

She's the young lady

of the Feng family's All-Encompassing Guild.

Shayan,

where have you been?

I've been searching for you all day.

None of your business.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Don't you think you're aiming too high?

But

there's no need to rush things.

You still have time.

Don't you find it spicy?

Put it on my tab.

Where are you going?

Cailu.

You scared me.

Why did you leave hurriedly?

Let's go back.

We still have a match tomorrow.

If you're not coming,

I'll go first.

I'm hungry.

I'll take you out for some food, then.

Okay.

Are you willing to let me eat you?

Sheng,

didn't I say I'm buying you something?

Someone named Cailu is dead.

They say his qi

was sucked dry.

Was Hu Jie behind it?

After borrowing my qi,

he has to pay it back.

How he's going to pay it back,

that's beyond my control.

If something like this happens,

NDT Express will intervene.

If Hu Jie can't obtain the Infinite Heavenly Talisman,

how will we explain to the Interim Leader?

Do you really think he can win the championship?

Isn't that the plan?

We sent Hu Jie there

just

to provide some entertainment

and trouble for Mount Longhu.

That's all.

What else are you hiding from me?

Everyone knows you, the Bone Scraper,

hate seeing blood.

What's the point of telling you this?

Two Bamboo.

I win.

I did it!

Is this Zhang Xilin's memory?

Just a small fragment of it.

We made such a big fuss

and spent so much time

just to obtain this small fragment?

It's different.

This is his memory before he died.

I can find out who killed him.

We were wrong from the beginning.

This...

This discovery is even more important than Qi Apotheosis.

Guys,

please get ready.

We're going to Mount Longhu to wreak havoc.

But before we go,

let's invite someone

to join us.

(There's heavy rain in some areas),

(along with short-term heavy rainfall)

(with thunderstorms and strong winds.)

(Xu Xiang.)

(The southern part is still covered by rain.)

(It'll be damp and cold.)

(Xu Xiang.)

(Some areas will experience a temperature drop of up to ten degrees.)

(In the next three days,)

(it'll be rainy in Chongqing.)

(Remember to bring rain gear when going out.)

(Xu Xiang,)

(Zhang Xilin's killer)

(is at Mount Longhu.)

(Aren't you coming?)

(It's going to be a surprise.)

[Dessert House]

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

[Face-changing Technique]

With such great abilities,

why do you involve yourself in petty crimes?

[Yu Huadu, Sinister Pleasure]

I thought it was someone else.

Did you think

NDT Express was coming to arrest you again, right?

I'm giving you a chance for revenge.

The one who makes you grit your teeth, Xu Xiang,

went to Mount Longhu.

Without security checks of the headquarters,

you can make your move.

Are you asking me to kill him?

I just want to watch the fun.

It's a rare opportunity, you know?

[NDT Express] Xiang,

let me go with you.

If anything happens,

I can at least cover for you.

No need.

Just stay here.

I'll return after I take care of it.

If so, be careful

on your way there.

Thank you.

Zhang Chulan.

Mr. Lyu and Mr. Wang

invite you over to meet them.

Who are they?

I don't even know them.

But both of them know your grandfather.

Then tell them to come to me.

Don't worry.

They're only inviting you over

for a simple chat.

Nothing will happen to you

in Mount Longhu.

Well,

can I make a call to my friend?

Just come with us.

(What is taking Zhang Chulan so long?)

Hello?

What?

Xiang is here?

I don't have time to see him.

Talk to you later.

This is Mr. Wang Ai.

This one is Mr. Lyu Ci.

So you're Mr. Wang

and Mr. Lyu?

Zhang Chulan,

we've finally met.

Zhang Chulan,

I

prefer getting straight to the point.

Hand over the Qi Apotheosis.

You can name

any price.

This again?

You're both powerful.

I'm sure you're well-informed.

You must know

that Sinister Pleasure

and NDT Express have already approached me,

right?

If I really had the Qi Apotheosis,

I would have given it to them already.

Zhang Chulan,

possessing something desirable brings you trouble.

As long as you hand over Qi Apotheosis,

no one will make things difficult for you.

I would love to hand it over.

But I don't know how.

So, how am I supposed to hand it over?

Kid,

we're reasonable people here.

Whether you have it or not,

we'll definitely figure it out.

Zhang Chulan!

Zhang Chulan!

Zhang Chulan!

Lyu Gong.

[Lyu Gong]

Same ability.

Is Lyu Liang related to you?

What do you mean by that?

Mr. Lyu, you sure get stronger and more vigorous with age.

You're already at this age.

You still have such a young son.

What nonsense are you saying?

You brat.

What did you just say?

He's my great-grandson,

Lyu Gong's younger brother.

Great-grandpa,

he's not my brother.

He's just a wretched animal that must be killed.

How could you say that?

Even if Lyu Liang joined the Sinister Pleasure,

he's still related to you

and part of your family.

Family?

Do you know what he has done?

This wretched animal

killed his younger sister,

my sister!

Zhang Chulan,

I admit

I'm coveting

your Qi Apotheosis

because I want power.

I want the power

to eradicate

wretched animals like Lyu Liang in this world.

Well, if you want power,

you have to take my Qi Apotheosis?

Wait a minute.

I really don't know about Qi Apotheosis.

Don't do that.

I've experienced the Soul Whisperer.

My brain suffered from it.

Don't worry.

When it comes to using the Soul Whisperer,

I'm not as talented as that wretched animal.

My skills will only lightly

cover your body's surface.

But that's enough

for me to judge

if you're lying or not.

No!

Found you.

Zhang Chulan, what are you doing here?

Zhang Chulan,

are these people picking on you?

Why didn't you tell me?

Who is this unruly girl?

How dare you behave insolently before the two elders.

No, stop.

Lyu Gong,

I accept the test.

Ms. Bao,

wait for me outside.

Zhang Chulan,

tell me.

Lyu Gong, you don't have to ask.

My grandpa didn't pass down Qi Apotheosis to me

or tell me anything

about Qi Apotheosis.

He's telling

the truth.

Come here.

Let me confirm it.

Mr. Lyu, Mr. Wang.

May I know

what you want with our employee?

In this Outsider Martial Arts Contest,

Zhang Chulan is a rising star

who has been the center of attention.

That's why we were eager

to invite him over for a chat.

Thank you for your hospitality.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take him away now.

Come on.

Wait.

Zhang Chulan,

do you know

why your grandfather suddenly disappeared from Celestial Taoist Mansion

and changed his name to Zhang Xilin,

hiding for 30 years?

That's

because he disrupted the Outsiders' world

and

colluded with the Sinister Pleasure.

Mr. Lyu,

please tell me what happened back then.

I can only reveal this much.

As for the details,

it's not my place to reveal them

as it involves

the scandals of Celestial Taoist Mansion.

It's better for Chief Celestial Taoist to tell you personally.

See the guests out.

No need.

He's stunned.

He suffered a blow.

[Si, come to the arena now, something happened.]

Baobao,

I have something to take care of.

Help me keep an eye on him.

All right.

Don't affect the tournament.

It won't be a problem.

He's more important than the tournament.

[Shen Chong]

Hu Jie,

when are you going to pay the qi you owe me?

I'm being targeted.

Besides, there are so many people here.

I can't find an opportunity to strike.

That's your problem,

not mine.

Can you give me a few more days?

Just a few more days?

Are you bargaining with me?

You have one hour,

and that's it.

Hurry up and find a target.

If you can't repay the qi,

I'll make your life miserable.

Next match,

Hu Sheng versus Bai Shixue.

Both players, please get ready.

[Hu Sheng VS Bai Shixue]

Let me reiterate the tournament rules.

If your opponent falls

or concedes,

it's considered a victory.

If your opponent

loses consciousness,

you must not continue

or harm them further.

Do you understand?

Hu Sheng,

you can request to delay

if you don't feel well.

No need.

Let's get started.

San,

they found Hu Sheng's body at his home.

So, who is the one

competing now?

We'll find out soon.

Dad has gone to discuss countermeasures with Chief Celestial Taoist.

He told us to keep an eye on the fake Hu Sheng.

We'll just do as he says.

Hu Sheng versus Bai Shixue.

Let the match begins.

Maintaining order among Outsiders is crucial.

We'll investigate this matter thoroughly.

You said Hu Sheng was the killer.

But isn't he currently competing?

The Outsider Martial Arts Contest

is a significant event at Mount Longhu.

This is the reason

that we haven't rushed to arrest anyone.

Thank you for being considerate, Mr. Xu.

But, Mr. Xu,

I have one more question.

Hu Jie is just a puppet.

You didn't have to come personally.

I'm a bit concerned

about leaving this matter to Xu San and Xu Si.

The one you're concerned about

is Zhang Chulan, isn't it?

Chief Celestial Taoist,

you've misunderstood.

When Zhang Chulan just arrived,

he asked me several questions.

He wanted to know about Huaiyi's secrets

and the truth

behind Jiashen Calamity.

Was it Zhang Chulan who wanted to know?

Or NDT Express?

Or

was it you, Mr. Xu?

Chief Celestial Taoist,

please rest assured.

I never used Zhang Chulan.

I only had his best interests at heart.

If you truly care for him,

I thank you on behalf of Huaiyi.

Are you trying to absorb my qi?

I advise you to surrender.

If this continues,

I will drain all your Qi.

Is my qi

delicious?

Now,

let me taste

your qi!

I can't endure this anymore!

I'm afraid Hu Jie has already made his move.

Chief Celestial Taoist,

I should go now.

This Outsider Martial Arts Contest

has many contenders stronger

than Hu Jie.

Hu Jie is Shen Chong's puppet.

He has absorbed many people's qi.

His strength

has already surpassed his peers.

It seems

you don't know the younger generation well.

The world produces talented individuals continuously.

What do you think

(about Zhuge Liang's descendant, Zhuge Qing?)

What about Wang Ye

(from Mount Wudang?)

They are still young.

We, so-called renowned masters,

are always high and mighty.

When have we ever cared about young people?

In this Outsider Martial Arts Contest,

they all have something to prove,

wanting to surprise us, old folks.

Here comes another one.

Today, I can finally pay up my debt.

Even a beast knows

not to prey on its kind.

But you absorbed the other's qi

right in front of so many people.

You're worse than a beast.

Wow.

Not bad.

Are you ignoring me?

Four-Pillar Barrier.

Hey...

Darned Taoist,

your qi

is enough for me to repay my debt.

I'll take it

as an extra treat

for me to eat!

Calm down!

You're unbelievable.

Undo this barrier now.

Since you're here,

you can take care of him.

Your turn.

I want to rest for a bit.

Undo.

Hu Jie is under control.

Both of us carry heavy responsibilities.

It's time to let go

and have these youngsters

help us carry the responsibilities.

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 32 Elimination Round]

[Wang Ergou VS Feng Baobao]

(We can tell)

the outcome of this match seems almost certain.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

It's a skill that Wang Ergou created himself,

Flowing Rainbow.

He adds suggestions to his qi.

So all his attacks

will affect the opponent's emotions.

Getting hit by this move

can be unlucky.

When you were hit by my Melancholic Blue

and Timid Yellow skills,

not only will you lose courage,

but your emotions will also be at their lowest point.

So how does it feel?

Will you stay put now?

Self-hypnosis,

red tone.

Fiery Passion!

[Fiery Passion, Wang Ergou]

It's Fiery Passion.

I knew this guy

had a chance to win.

Miss,

it's time to pay for what you did!

Wang Ergou seizes the opportunity to press on after gaining the upper hand.

Let's see if this punch

can secure victory.

[I know the truth behind your grandfather's death.]

[Who are you?]

Wang Ergou's Fiery Passion

isn't working at all!

Feng Baobao is truly impressive.

[Behind the mountain. Come or not, your call.] She hides her abilities well.

[Behind the mountain. Come or not, your call.]

We can see Wang Ergou

is struggling to get up.

Impressive.

But I don't understand.

You seemed to have done something

but nothing at the same time.

What?

You were not affected by the Flowing Rainbow at all.

Even if it's Chief Celestial Taoist,

it also requires the cultivation of worldly experiences.

How can the mind of a young girl in her twenties

be this firm and unshakable?

Bring it on!

Feng Baobao,

let me see the color of your qi.

Show me

what kind of person you are.

How could this be?

Colorless qi?

Her qi is actually colorless.

I give up...

I surrender.

I surrender, Feng Baobao.

I surrender.

I'm done.

Time to go.

(How could her qi be colorless?)

[Outsider Martial Arts Contest, Top 32 Elimination Round]

[Feng Baobao, Qualified for the Top 16]

[Feng Baobao]

Long time no see,

Zhang Chulan.

Wait, calm down!

Don't you want to know the truth behind what happened back then?

What truth?

To be precise,

it's only a small part of the truth.

You're aware of my ability.

I can extract other people's memories.

I stole your grandfather's body before

to find clues

about Qi Apotheosis from his remaining memories.

Catching you was also part of this plan.

So?

So,

we've achieved our goal.

I want to make it up to you.

This is what your grandfather saw before he passed away.

Don't you want to know

what he saw?

Something he couldn't forget even in his dying moments?

Surprising, isn't it?

It turns out the one who killed your grandfather

has always been by your side all along.

(Surprising, isn't it?)

(It turns out the one who killed your grandfather)

(has always been by your side all along.)
