Young Lord has indeed

reached Level 1 of a spiritual formation master.

It’s a good opportunity for him

to build a Level 3 Spirit Collecting Formation.

There's someone who can help you improve your skills.

Seize the chance to learn from him.

[Episode 15 Fighting for a Place]

As you all know,

the academy

will have a qualification competition in one month

for getting into the five great academies.

A qualified candidate

should at least

have reached the Spiritual Ring Level.

The five of you

from the Heaven of the East Academy

are qualified to participate in the competition.

In the next month,

I will give you customized training.

I hope

you can all advance to the Spiritual Ring Level.

Yes, Master Mo.

Master Mo.

Mu Chen.

Do you have any questions?

Master Mo.

I think

I can skip this step.

You...

You've already advanced to the Spiritual Ring Level?

Good.

Very good.

Next,

I will give you some special training.

All right.

Practice on your own.

Mu Chen.

Come with me.

To be honest,

the reason why our North Spiritual Academy

has a core candidate spot

may be related to what happened to you in the Spiritual Land.

Maybe

the five great academies opened the position for you specifically.

But

I can't name you

as the candidate directly.

It doesn't matter.

I will take back

what belongs to me.

Good.

You need to be this confident.

Although I can't name you as the candidate directly,

the academy

decided to compensate you.

Is this why

you brought me to the third floor of the Spiritual Art Room?

I heard the most powerful spiritual arts

of the North Spiritual Academy are kept here.

Dean Xiao has allowed you

to choose any of them from here.

There seems to be someone on the third floor of the Spiritual Art Room.

Isn't that Master Mo?

Who is that next to him?

It seems to be someone from the East Academy.

Isn’t that Mu Chen?

-Why did Master Mo bring him up? -Right.

I don't think one is allowed to enter the third floor freely.

-Mu Chen. -Master Mo.

How could Mu Chen get allowed to enter the third floor of the Spiritual Art Room?

Exactly.

How could he get there?

Is Master Mo biased to him?

Right.

It must be.

His performance in the Spiritual Land

helped the North Spiritual Academy win the first core candidate spot in history.

Is that

enough?

Let's go.

Pick the spiritual art you want.

I didn’t expect

the ordinary Mu Chen

has become so outstanding

now.

Isn't it said that Mu Chen was kicked out of the Spiritual Land?

Right.

Looks like he didn’t get kicked out because of his incompetence.

The five great academies still value him.

What did he do

in the Spiritual Land?

These are all the spiritual arts in the spiritual category.

You can choose any of them.

There are so many spiritual arts in the spiritual category.

Earth Spirit Wave. [Earth Spirit Wave]

A lower grade in the spiritual category.

It's a spiritual art of attacks.

[Spiritual Shadow Step]

[Spiritual Shadow Step] Spiritual Shadow Step.

[Spiritual Shadow Step] A medium grade in the spiritual category.

I can't believe it's a spiritual art of body movement.

Good taste.

What you've chosen is a rare medium-grade spiritual art in the spiritual category here.

Then that's it.

[Spiritual Emperor's Finger]

[Spiritual Emperor's Finger] The Spiritual Emperor's Finger.

A lower grade in the spiritual category.

It's actually a rare spiritual art of finger techniques?

What?

You want both?

The compensation for you was just one spiritual art.

Well…

I can make an exception for you to choose another one,

but under one condition.

What condition?

Defeat Liu Mubai

and secure the core candidate spot

for our East Academy.

Don’t worry, Master Mo.

I won't let anyone

take away what belongs to me.

You must pay attention to it.

I heard that Liu Mubai

gave up on Master Xi’s special training

and went back to Liu Realm.

His decision has shown

how confident he is

that he can

advance further

with the help of Liu Realm.

What’s his current level?

He's already reached

the early stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

Let's go.

In this month,

I will help you practice those two spiritual arts specifically

to increase your chance of winning.

Gather the spiritual energy under your feet.

Speed up.

Focus.

Don't panic.

Again!

The enemy won't care if you're hurt or not.

Spiritual Shadow Step.

The body movements are like phantoms.

The shadows can blind others

and are nowhere to be found.

Next,

it'll be even harder.

That's too much.

Focus on your feet.

Don't be disturbed by spiritual energy arrows.

Again.

Again.

Spiritual Emperor's Finger.

[Tiger Flame Spirit Consuming Formation]

Spiritual Shadow Steps.

Act as fast

as a rabbit

and as swift as a phantom.

The Spiritual Emperor's Finger

is as hard

as gold iron.

It can break tendons and bones.

I didn't expect that Mu Chen could master these two spiritual arts

and change between softness and hardness flexibly.

It's really impressive.

Thank you for your guidance, Master Mo.

I've finally made progress

in Spiritual Shadow Step and Spiritual Emperor's Finger.

Mu Chen is not only talented

but also has strong willpower.

Mu Feng.

You have a good son.

I've been feeling good about the training these days.

The spiritual power within my body

has become stronger.

The Great Buddha Art even started running on its own.

Could it be...

The Great Buddha Art is divided into three levels,

including base,

shaping and conversion.

Have I…

reached the conversion level?

This brat is different from other humans.

He's quite persistent.

The spiritual arts he's practicing

seem to be special.

I need to feel it carefully

and enhance the conversion level as soon as possible.

Very good.

Next,

show me the results of your training over the past month.

Looks like all of us

-Okay. -have practiced hard in the past month.

You're all qualified

to participate in tomorrow’s competition.

Mu Chen.

As for you,

there is one last training today.

The last training?

Come on.

Beat me.

Well…

How can I win?

Right.

Master Mo, you're a master at the Divine Soul Level.

I will hold back my strength

within the middle stage of the Spiritual Ring Level.

No matter what you do,

as long as you can defeat me

or force me

to use my divine-soul power,

then it means

you've completed this month's training successfully.

What do you think?

Please, Master Mo.

Come on.

Show me what you got.

Spiritual Shadow Step.

What spiritual art of body movements is Mu Chen using?

He’s so fast.

I've never seen him use it before.

It looks powerful.

It's useless.

Even if Master Mo holds back his strength,

with his eyesight, experience

and physical strength,

Mu Chen is no match for him.

Again.

Again.

After being knocked down so many times,

he stood up immediately and continued to get beaten.

This fool

really impressed me.

Not enough.

Not fast enough.

My power!

Come out!

Mu Chen is too fast

to be seen clearly.

How could he suddenly improve so much?

It's my turn to attack.

Master Mo, you lost.

You lost.

I can't believe that you forced me

to release my power of the Divine Soul Level.

You won.

Impressive.

I won!

-Mu Chen, you’re awesome! -Mu Chen.

You really won.

Have a good rest.

Get ready for tomorrow’s qualification competition.

The core candidate spot will belong to our Liu Realm.

[Master Stage of the North Spiritual Academy]

Mu.

We met again. [Lord of Hong Realm]

[Lord of Tang Realm]

[Lord of Tang Realm] Liu.

[Lord of Tang Realm]

How’s your injury?

Thanks for asking.

I'm okay.

It's no big deal.

That's good.

Liu.

Liu Realm counts on you.

You should be more careful

in the future.

I hope they won’t fight later.

Mu.

My girl said

Mu Chen is highly likely

to get the core candidate spot this time.

I'll be satisfied

as long as he can get into the five great academies

as an ordinary candidate.

Who doesn't want to fight for first place

isn't qualified for a core candidate spot.

Mu.

Am I right?

But he who wants to win has to be capable.

You can't win first place by only talking.

The battle between Liu Realm and Mu Realm

seems to be inevitable.

Thank you all

for coming today.

The five great academies value the qualification competition

of the North Spiritual Academy very much.

They even sent Mr. Hao to supervise the competition.

They even sent Mr. Hao to supervise the competition. [Mr. Hao]

[Mr. Hao]

This is an honor

for the Northern Spiritual Academy.

All the rules

of the qualification competition

-will be set by Mr. Hao. -I didn’t expect that the five great academies

value the selection of the North Spiritual Academy so much.

They even sent someone to supervise the competition.

Of course.

There are very few core candidate spots.

Is this old man from the five great academies?

He looks so slim.

What do you know?

Maybe he's at a high level.

Let's begin.

There are 12 people

who have reached the Spiritual Ring Level

in this competition.

Five of them are from the East Academy.

Seven are from the West Academy.

Each one of you competes with the other

according to the previous draw.

The first battle is between

Mu Chen

and Chen Tong.
