"Stand Proud Above The Clouds" by Gao Taiyu, Ao Ziyi, Liu Runnan

♫ The blur of yesterday slowly surfaces in my mind ♫

♫ Meeting as if fated, we fight side by side ♫

♫ The past drifts away like smoke but memories have left a mark on my heart ♫

♫ Our former joys and sorrows have colored our ordinary lives ♫

♫ The difficult journey is long and filled with a sea of people and a transforming world ♫

♫ We are invincible as we bravely move forward, who will compete against me? ♫

♫ The sky darkens and becomes cold, birds return to their nest nearing sunset ♫

♫ We are extraordinary as we overcome countless difficulties and reach the peak to stand proud above the clouds ♫

♫ We watch the gentle plumes of smoke and experience the beautiful scenery with exquisite poems ♫

♫ As we collaborate toward a common goal and go through numerous obstacles ♫

♫ We must accompany each other courageously and leave a good reputation in this mortal world ♫

[Douluo Continent]

[Episode 13]

How about him? He can't be stronger than me, right?

You're strong. You're strong... I'm not that strong compared to you.

Your Spirit must be Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, right?

If he's the same as me, an Auxiliary Spirit Master,

I don't believe another Auxiliary System's Spirit can surpass my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Yes. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed one of the most powerful Auxiliary Spirits.

But a Spirit Master's power is more important than its advantages and disadvantages.

Out of all the students here, except for Tang San,

Ou Si Ke is the true natural talent.

Speaking of natural talent alone, he might even be above Dai Mu Bai.

On what basis are you saying this?

When your Spirit awakened, what was its strength level?

- Level nine. - Have you heard of Innate Full Spirit Power?

Ever since the beginning,

there's no one in the Auxiliary System who actually has Innate Full Spirit Power.

He is right in front of you.

He is the first person to make history within Auxiliary Spirit Masters.

Every student present here has more aptitude compared to you.

What other basis do you have to be so arrogant?

If you feel you can't stand it, it's fine.

In any case, you don't have the talent nor can you withstand training.

Then you can pack up your belongings and go back to your clan.

- You can go and complain to your father. - You!

I won't admit defeat!

Rong Rong!

You already saw what happened to Ning Rong Rong.

If you want to continue your training, then you have to follow the academy's regulations.

The upcoming lessons will be tough.

If you feel you can't withstand it,

you can back out now.

All right. You are dismissed.

See you tomorrow.

- See you! - Headmaster! Headmaster!

Older Brother Dai, where are you going?

Suo Tuo City.

We are going now?

Keep your voice down. Don't let the headmaster hear it.

What are you planning to do?

Spirit Arena Tournament.

You are participating in the competition?

If we don't train ourselves, how can we be strong?

Can I go?

- You go... - What do you want to go for?

Village Chief said Bu Le might be there.

Didn't the headmaster say this matter is very dangerous, and that we should not get involved?

If not for Bu Le, my father wouldn't have died.

Fine, fine. Let's go quickly. Don't let the headmaster see us.

Grandmaster.

Headmaster.

Grandmaster, what book are you reading?

The Law of Spirit Power Explosion! This book is very popular right now.

I heard this book's author even won a prize.

But I feel that the research you have done for your theories are

deeper than his.

How about you write a book, too, Grandmaster?

Ou Si Ke, don't cause trouble.

I didn't cause any trouble.

Give that to me.

I am here to help.

You are helping me? Why does it look like you want me to help you?

Headmaster is wise! Your eyes are wise like a torch! (Idiom: meaning, eyes are sharp with insight and are able to tell right from wrong.)

Speak. What is it?

That is... Can Rong Rong stay?

You want to plead on Ning Rong Rong's behalf?

That's right. She is just young and impulsive,

with a little bit of a temper.

Don't blame her, okay?

- Okay? - This lass...

when I penalized you just now, if she hadn't stood up to stop me,

then I would have definitely given up on her.

On the surface, she seems a bit arrogant.

But she is not a bad person inside.

Then what you mean is, she doesn't have to leave?

That depends on what she is thinking.

Why aren't you going to console her?

- Yes! - Also,

you don't have to run those 20 laps.

Thank you, Headmaster!

Oh, yes! There is one more matter.

That is, when Ma Hong Jun goes out of control,

the flames on his body are extremely lethal.

The temperature is very high and it has strong cohesion.

It is very difficult to extinguish.

What's weirder is, this fire of his

won't burn his clothes and hair.

But everything else around him will be burned to ashes.

His Spirit is a mutated Spirit, Evil Fire Phoenix.

Normally, when a Spirit mutates, there are two possible outcomes.

One is weakening, so the Spirit Master will have to bear the suffering of the mutation.

Another is, becoming stronger. Although, Ma Hong Jun's mutation is considered benign,

but at the same time, the mutation will give his body a much stronger Spirit power.

It will definitely give his body some side effects.

So, there is no way for him to control the evil fire within his body well.

Although I did not personally witness the process of his mutation,

according to Old Lan De's description,

the real reason the evil fire cannot burn Hong Jun,

is because of his father.

His father?

But his father didn't leave him anything.

My father bought his bedsheet and quilt.

Not material belongings, but love.

His father must have known the shortcomings of the Evil Fire Phoenix's mutation.

So he made the decision to sacrifice himself and burn up his own power.

He used love to form a protective umbrella.

So before Ma Hong Jun finds a way to control his Phoenix Spirit,

he won't be injured.

A father's love is as big as a mountain.

Xiao Gang, your reasoning is great.

Great? Are you increasing my salary?

What are you looking at?

How about you give me some fatherly love, too?

How about more food for dinner tonight?

Rascal, you're getting greedy.

- Want to run those twenty laps? - No! Father, bye! Grandmaster, bye!

Rong Rong. Rong Rong!

Headmaster was too strict with you.

Don't take it to heart.

Say something.

Don't think of bad things.

Don't be impulsive.

Can you open the door?

Rong Rong! If you don't open the door, I will break in!

Rong Rong!

Nothing happened to me.

It's not painful at all.

Why are you looking for me?

I talked to the headmaster, and he said you don't have to leave. You can stay here and learn.

Who said I am leaving?

That's great!

As long as I am here, there is nothing that can't be solved.

- In the future, I will protect you. - Yeah, right.

Do you really possess Innate Full Spirit Power?

But the headmaster mentioned something about making history... I'm not that great.

Auxiliary System's Spirit Master?

I guess.

Right. I don't think I have seen your Spirit.

There's not much to see for my Spirit.

This is my Spirit. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

All seven levels correspond to Spirit Rings. Right now, I only have two Spirit Rings,

so I can only use power from the first two levels.

Seven Treasure is famous. First spoken: strength.

I feel strength throughout my body.

Wow, it is much lighter now.

It is not because the table became lighter. But because your strength increased.

Is that so?

There's also a second Spirit Technique. Second spoken: speed!

I don't feel anything.

Try running a few rounds.

It is really fast.

I am really feeling...

a little dizzy...

- It's your turn. - Me?

Show me your Spirit.

There's really nothing to see about my Spirit.

Are you looking down on me?

- Of course, I am not looking down on you. - Then show me.

Don't. It's very embarrassing.

Do you think I don't have the right to see?

It's not that. I...

If you don't want to let me see your Spirit, then get out.

See, see. I will let you see. I'll let you see, okay?

But let's make this clear. Don't laugh.

Fine.

We agreed. You really can't laugh.

Why are you so long-winded?

I already promised you.

This is your Spirit?

Okay. Take a break.

Why are you making yourself so tired late at night?

If you can't complete tomorrow's classes,

I won't return your money.

I don't want money. I want to win.

Since you paid twice the tuition,

then I will gift you some free advice.

There are times when winning isn't necessarily a good thing.

Perhaps these words aren't nice to hear.

But who are you trying to win against?

Your opponent?

From what I see, within a person's lifespan,

the biggest opponent they have to face is themselves.

It is the enemy.

What is an enemy?

How do you determine if he is a friend or foe?

A person who has previously done a wrong

isn't necessarily a bad person forever.

- But... - No more buts.

I don't want to give any more advice.

Think it over yourself.

Think about what it is you really want.

I will also go back and think carefully about

who I should bet on to be the winner of this Spirit tournament.

After all, there is only one chance. It can't be changed.

So, I will genuinely treat it.

After thinking about it, I will then choose my pick.

Isn't that right?

Rest soon.

Thank you.

The Spirit Fighter Badge is your identification to participate in the competition.

You need this to enter the competition?

- Then, Older Brother Dai, do you come here often to compete? - Yes.

Then I want to register, too.

Xiao Wu, calm down.

Think about this carefully. What is our objective of coming here?

- It's to accompany Ma Hong Jun to participate in the competition and see if we can attract Bu Le. - Yes.

Fine. I will listen to you.

- Thanks, everyone. - Don't thank me. I won't be involved in your matters.

I'm going onstage now.

- What should I do? - Just do what you did in Night Fire Village.

When you get onstage, release your Spirit.

But-But I'm afraid that I can't control it.

It's fine. Losing control is the trait of Spirit Mutation.

If Bu Le is at the venue, he will definitely pay attention to you.

Our task is to be off-stage, observe,

and check who's paying special attention to Ma Hong Jun.

And then capture him!

No. We can't take action here.

What we are doing is to find the target and follow him.

We will capture him after that.

You are right this time.

We will come back to compete after that.

I have already thought of the name. It's San Wu Combo.

How about it? Amazing, right?

All right. Go onstage now.

Competitors for this round, go to Ring Eight now.

Number eight is over there. Xiao Wu, over there.

Competitors for this round, go to Ring Eight now.

- Coming. - Excuse me. Thank you.

- Come on. - Over here.

- Are you competing? - No. It's him.

- I'm competing. - Where's your badge?

Get ready to go onstage.

Hong Jun, do your best.

The competition starts now.

Release the Spirit at full force.

Release the Spirit at full force. Release the Spirit at full force!

I-I surrender. I admit defeat!

- We need to pay? - The burning of related facilities,

and also, the judge needs to be treated immediately.

I... I burned the judge, too?

But... But I don't have any money.

Can we use his money from winning the competition to pay for it?

It's not enough from just fighting one round.

It's the one who releases fire again? He's too fierce.

We should keep our distance from him. He even hurts the audience!

Be careful!

We should be careful.

- Move aside. - Watch where you are going.

Boss Bu Le,

there's a Spirit Mutation in the arena.

What Spirit?

His entire body is on fire. Once in a while, a shadow will emerge from behind.

It looks like a bird.

Evil Fire Phoenix?

That lousy Night Fire Village

really created a Spirit Mutation?

He's still there.

Want to go and see him?

Tian Ya, don't be rash when doing things.

He just appeared.

Let's wait; watch what he can do.

Once we verify he's powerful enough,

the people above will be interested then.

Borrow money?

Compensation for damages to the venue and injured parties.

This brat won several rounds in a night. There should be money from there.

Someone will be injured in every round.

The money he won is not sufficient for compensation.

Xiao Wu and I have spent all our money.

Older Brother Dai, don't worry.

We will definitely repay your money soon.

What will you use to pay me back?

Relying on the money you make from forging iron?

I'm not doing this for you.

If you go to work, no one will take care of this brat.

Pay me back once you have found Bu Le.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Older Brother Dai.

Are you still going to compete tonight?

It's too late today. Besides, Bu Le didn't show up.

We should go back to the academy.

You must keep it a secret about the matter of the Spirit Arena.

Don't let the headmaster know.

Don't worry. We will keep it a secret.

- Let's go. - Okay.

You have quite the guts now!

You went to the Spirit Arena in the middle of the night to compete.

- I didn’t. - Look at yourself!

Your psychological diathesis is very strong.

You have been seen through but you are still so calm.

Wait. Who told you we went to the Spirit Arena?

It's already published in the Spirit Master tabloid.

Have a look.

A crazy fire demon appeared in the Spirit Arena last night.

He was burning while fighting. The arena was a mess.

A flame Spirit.

It is so rare to appear. And it randomly appeared yesterday night.

Ma Hong Jun, do you dare to say it wasn't you?

It was me.

What is going on?

I went by myself.

It has nothing to do with them.

It has nothing to do with them?

I... I went with Hong Jun.

- I don’t know anything. - Don’t know anything?

If you didn’t know, then why would I ask you to come here?

If you didn’t take them there, how did they get there?

Don’t think that I don’t know anything about you sneakily going out to compete.

Since you know everything, then I admit.

Haven’t I told you all

that this is very complicated and that you cannot intervene?

Headmaster,

I'm willing to withdraw from Shrek Academy.

You want to throw a tantrum now?

No, it's not that.

Investigating Bu Le is my personal affair.

I can’t drag everyone down

to be expelled from Shrek Academy.

No matter how much trouble I caused,

it has nothing to do with everyone.

Headmaster, thank you for willing to take me in.

It is my own fault.

Don’t blame Brother San and the others.

What is it? You want to be a hero?

No, Headmaster.

I just... don’t want to let more people

suffer because of me.

Headmaster, I-I'm leaving.

What about the tuition you still owe?

We have already agreed.

That you would graduate and then make money to return it to me.

Now that you are just going, what about the money?

No further discussions. You are not allowed to leave.

And that Spirit arena. No one is allowed to go in the future.

To a Spirit Master, combat experience

is indeed the best training.

Relax.

Hence, I think the competition at the Spirit Arena can continue.

But there is a requirement.

If Bu Le looks for Ma Jun Hong again, you must tell us.

The academy will be responsible for what happens next. Will this do?

Okay.

Ma Hong Jun,

how did you feel after a few battles last night?

I... I couldn’t control my Spirit.

That’s why we need to give you special training.

You need to find a way to control your Spirit.

Dai Mu Bai, you help him train.

Why is it me?

You took them to the Spirit Arena. This is just a small punishment.

Besides, you are the leader of the 7-person team.

If you don’t take him, then who will?

Take it slow. Let your power clamber.

Keep calm and balance while releasing it.

Are you awake?

Yes.

Again.

If you can’t control it, this is the result.

Hong Jun.

Are you okay?

Again!

Xiao Gang, are you really going to let them continue to compete?

It's right to accumulate more practical experience.

Besides, one can see many different types of Spirit Masters at the Spirit Arena.

It is beneficial to them as well.

I think you want to teach them without being controlled.

Didn’t you know early on that Dai Mu Bai was competing?

Why didn't you expose him in the past?

Wasn’t I giving him a chance to train?

I heard that gambling takes place at every round in the Spirit Arena.

Is that so?

Isn't this a betting ticket?

It's even betting on Dai Mu Bai to win.

Dai Mu Bai is very strong.

I bet occasionally to provide training subsidies for the academy.

Do not tell anyone else.

Serve as a model.

We will continue tomorrow.

Older Brother Dai.

Thank you for putting in all this effort for Hong Jun.

Don't thank me. I merely did it according to the headmaster's wish.

Moreover, I can't just disregard this.

Whenever this brat injures anyone, he will borrow money from me.

If he doesn’t control it sooner, then I won’t have any money left either.

I can do it!

I am very awake. I succeeded!

Hong Jun. Come on.

Just now, you were probably in a very clear state of mind to control the flame.

Hong Jun, good improvement.

- Again. - Again.

I still can't do it.

Close your eyes and imagine there's a scale in your body.

Your consciousness and Spirit are hanging on both sides.

Use your mind to balance them.

No need to use so much power. Relax first so that you can balance.

I succeeded!

Try to use the Spirit Technique now.

Continue. Help him remember the condition he was in earlier.

Are you okay?

Why are you hitting Ma Hong Jun again?

- What are you carrying? - Lunch is ready.

I made porridge. Go and eat now. Don't let it get cold.

- Where are you carrying this to? - I'm carrying this to Rong Rong.

Doesn't she have legs? Can't she go there and eat?

It's okay. It's not a hassle at all.

Take your time sparring. I'm leaving now.

- Continue. - Wait.

- What now? - It's not tasty without any pickles. Continue.

I'm leaving.

Let's wait for a bit.

Older Sister Qing, come and eat with us.

Yeah, yeah! Let's eat together.

I have hands and feet. I can go to the canteen myself.

Come here.

If you feel wronged, you don't need to bring me food in the future.

No, I didn't. I was willing.

I'm just helping out a junior sister. That...That's my duty.

What's going on outside? It's so loud!

Older Brother Dai is training Ma Hong Jun outside.

- He said it's to help him control his Spirit so he got doused with cold water and is getting hit as well. It's so pitiful. - Ma Hong Jun?

That's right.

It's the one with the Spirit Mutation...

Evil Fire Phoenix?

I'll take a look at it.

Rong Rong!

I've maintained it.

Can't you feel any pain?

You've already tried so many times. Do you still think you can control it?

It's none of your business.

I'm telling the truth.

Some things won't have results even if you try hard.

His Spirit obviously has flaws.

What are you doing?

I know trying my best won't necessarily give me results,

but if I don't try...

there won't be any more hope at all.

Do you want to become a Spirit Master?

I probably have no right to become a Spirit Master.

But at least, I need to control my Spirit. Right?

But you're injured right now.

I'm okay. I can keep on going.

We're very busy, I won't see you off.

Come, continue!

You didn't even drink the porridge. Let me reheat it for you.

Who... Who made you angry?

Rong Rong!

What are you mad about?

Who is it?

W-What were you doing?

I... am practicing my invisibility power.

Did you see everything just now?

Very clearly.

I said all of that for Ma Hong Jun's benefit.

He wants to control his Spirit but that isn't something that will happen overnight.

Look at what kind of attitude Dai Mu Bai has!

He's not distinguishing right or wrong. He kept on getting mad at me.

I'm so angry!

Do you talk like this at home?

Yes.

Does that mean you don't have many friends?

What do you mean?

You use such a condescending tone to talk to others,

who will accept that?

I didn't.

This is Shrek Academy, it's not Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

You're also not a little princess. We're all disciples.

You should learn how to get along with people first.

Older Sister Qing, you said you were beside me while being invisible just now.

That's why a bystander is more objective.

Then, were you caring for Ma Hong Jun?

Or were you actually caring for Dai Mu Bai?

What relationship do I have with him?

Older Sister Qing,

don't you need to learn how to get along with people as well?

Drink it all!

I didn't lose control! I controlled it!

I didn't lose control! I controlled it!

Not bad. You didn't lose control at all this time.

As long as I don't go all out, I can control it.

That means it's not being controlled completely.

- Continue to practice tomorrow. - Hong Jun.

Did that guy, Bu Le, appear yet?

Not yet. Logically, it shouldn't be.

Hong Jun fought many times.

His Spirit Mutation is already famous.

Perhaps, he thinks the opponents aren't strong enough?

Ma Hong Jun, designate an opponent for tomorrow's challenge.

- Challenge who? - Me.

His controlling power is pretty good.

Come on!

Second Spirit Technique is strengthening flames?

Blue Silver Grass can also be used like this?

I'm just taking advantage of it. If attacking from the front side, it might not block it.

- Hong Jun! - Good, good, good.

- Dai Mu Bai, I want to challenge you! - Great!

Good!

Bring that little girl to the tavern.

Little girl? Wasn't it supposed to be Ma Hong Jun?

Ma Hong Jun will be here every day.

If that little girl ran away,

then she will be gone.

I understand. Don't worry, no problem.

Tell me. After signing up, I'll challenge Older Brother Dai tomorrow, all right?

- You can also spar with each other at the academy. - But it's different.

Fighting at a Spirit Arena

will feel even better.

Then, you should ask Older Brother Dai for his opinion.

You need to get him to agree first.

Okay.

Little girl, come with us.

You guys have the wrong person.

You can scram.
