Who else
isn't following this series?
Welcome to the Songhai
Spiritual Sword Art Assembly.
SWORD
Students from all the major factions
in Songhai are invited
to exhibit their unique sword skills.
Log on to the webcast section of Bilibili,
submit your bullet comments,
and you are eligible for a lucky draw
for the prizes.
Now, let's have
the five swordsmanship masters.
Master No. 1 is the hero of Songhai,
captain of the Seven-Star Squad,
and swordsmanship master, Zhuo Yi.
Then we have the highly experienced
teacher of distinctions from Faction 59,
Ms. Xie.
Master Zhuo!
The last two
are the most popular sword dance team
in the cultivation section of Bilibili,
Ling Yuan and Hanser.
Sword cultivation in ancient times
took power as the sole standard
to rank spiritual swords.
But in peacetime,
we don't have to fight
with our swords anymore.
So this program is not a contest
of the power of swords,
but an opportunity to find
the art and beauty in swords.
What's more,
the organizer of this assembly
has prepared handsome prizes
for the viewers.
The first prize is a ticket
for a ride to Fort Skyloop.
So please be interactive.
All right,
so much for the commercial break.
Now, let's have the first practitioner,
someone who has been
most talked about these days.
The high-profile daughter
of the Flower Fruit Water Curtain Group,
Sun Rong.

Dear instructors,
I am Sun Rong from Songhai Faction 60.
Miss Bankruptcy,
quite a number of your swords were damaged
at the sword competition last year.
You even sacrificed your sword spirit
in order to win.
You are right.
That's why I've been practicing very hard
to improve my skills.
The reason I'm here
is to have the instructors
give me pointers on my sword skills
so that I can challenge myself.
Good. You're very spirited.
What are you going to show us?
The Sun's ancestral sword skill,
Ocean Dance.
This is a group dance of spiritual swords.
She can control
over a dozen spiritual swords
to perform such an elegant sword dance.
The Sun's ancestral sword skill
deserves its fame.
It does have something special.
-What's going on?
-This
Something is wrong.
It looks like
Look out!
Are you all right, Kangkang?
I was so scared.
Ms. Sun,
it is dangerous to try to control
so many swords at a time.
Please do what you can manage.
Is that all she's got?
That was embarrassing.
Typical of the Sun's.
Is that it?
-We appreciate Ms. Sun's performance,
-It's out of bounds.
-although there was a little accident.
-Indeed.
Let's go on with the webcast
and have our next performers.
SWORD
-My five-year-old niece is even better.
-Are you all right, Sun Rong?
I'm very sorry,
that was a faulty performance.
Without my sword spirit,
I can't achieve anything.
Sun Rong,
why don't you take your sword
to my shop tomorrow?
I'll calibrate it for you.
Thank you.
It was not your fault.
It happened so fast
that I failed to cut to commercials.
Operations team,
post a blog message to apologize.
Wait a minute.
After the accident,
the ratings of the webcast
have been rising.
What?
I thought nobody would want
to watch programs of arts.
The Spiritual Force Index is soaring.
That was a blessing in disguise.
Go on with the webcast. Go on.
SWORD
Foolish mankind.
She's just beauty without brains.
-Her fans are biased.
-She doesn't deserve her fame.
Attempted murder is arrestable.
-You are all dead. Ms. Sun is the best.
-We appreciate Ms. Sun's performance,
although there was a little accident.
Let's go on with the webcast
and have our next performers,
also from Faction 60,
an elite duo.
May I ask you, sword practitioners,
why did you come onto this stage?
Do you want
to challenge yourselves as well?
No, we just want to present a little show.
We have a fellow practitioner
who has run into great difficulties
in her life.
She always tries to put on a smiling face,
but we know what kind of pressure
she is really under.
We are sorry that we can't help you
overcome the difficulties.
What we can do
is bring you this little show.
We hope you are truly happy every day.
It is so nice to have friends like you.
What are you going to show us?
You must have heard of catching
a sharp blade with bare hands.
But catching a blade
is of very low difficulty.
What I'm going to show you today
is catching a sword with bare hands.
It is already the year 4396
and you are still playing
this tired old trick?
I'm not going to simply catch a sword
with bare hands.
I'm going to do that blindfold.
Are you kidding me?
Go for it.
This golden spiritual body
is a buddha-like sword spirit.
He can't summon a complete sword spirit.
Just two arms of it.
What is there to show off?
Are you ready, Chen Chao?
Dear instructors and viewers,
that was Chen Chao's demonstration
of his Iron Head.
-I'm right, aren't I?
-It's bad.
Chen Chao's Iron Head is so powerful.
CATCHING SHARP BLADE WITH BARE HANDS
TURNED IRON HEAD SHOW
CHEN CHAO, SWORD, GUO HAO
What's going on?
The number of online viewers
has gone over one million.
The Spiritual Force Index
has broken the platform's record.
A little more
and I'll have collected
enough spiritual energy.
We appreciate the surprise show
that the elite duo presented.
Now, let's have our next performer,
Yisha Bei from Songhai Faction 59.
This is a sword formation.
These hundreds,
no, thousands of flying swords
are all under micro-control.
This is a time of scientific cultivation.
Enhanced with body control systems,
it's easy to control thousands
of spiritual swords simultaneously.
Times have changed.
If you practiced flying sword skills
the traditional way,
controlling tens of swords
would have hit the upper limit.
We are back, Sun Rong.
Chen Chao
Is he alive?
Don't worry.
The doctor has checked him out.
He is alive.
Thank you all.
I was
Don't be stupid.
Are you in better spirits now?
Where are Wang Ling and Xiaoyu?
We appreciate the fabulous performance
of Songhai Faction 59's Yisha Bei.
Now, the last performer of the day,
from Faction 60,
Lin Xiaoyu.
She is
Lin Xiaoyu?
Xiaoyu without her glasses
is so beautiful.
What a beauty!
Beautiful.
This beauty
It's awesome!
-I love this goddess.
-This girl is lovely.
-This girl is so cute!
-I like her so much.
Who is this Lin Xiaoyue?
There are more than
500 million viewers online now.
A record high in human history.
My plan
begins now.
The tree burns so brightly.
Something is not right.
Xiaoyu is circling around again.
This is bad!
She used the skills of the wood element
to alter the setting
and create dreamy stage effects.
Then burn it all.
New vitality is generated after the fire.
A sword dance employing all five elements.
If I'm not mistaken,
the sword dance
must be Rebirth from Ashes.
That's why she's a genius girl
once in 1,000 years.
What a fabulous stage plan!
I call it "the best"!
One billion!
What just happened?
Thanks to the contributions
of all students,
I have collected the one billion
spiritual force I need to power my magic.
Watch my Ultimate Control.
SONGHAI DEPARTMENT STORE
It took me great endeavors
to collect one billion spiritual energy
to trigger this world-class
Ultimate Control.
Now all human beings worldwide
are puppets under my control.
It is a shame
that you are not able to hear
such a genius scheme of mine.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
How did the two of you escape my control?
Because your magic formation
has lost its effect.
How?
That's impossible.
It's such a big formation.
How can you possibly wreck it?
I simply moved the position of
the center of the formation 2 m forward.
SUN

SUN
Who the hell are you?
How did you know my plan?
Damn you.
Now I have to do it the violent way.
SUN
Thank you for saving me, Mini-TV.
Wait.
Something is wrong with the Mini-TV.
SUN
SUN
Wait a minute.
I can't lift the Ultimate Control.
It is not the Ultimate Control alone.
It is mixed with demon spirits
and has taken command of their senses.
These people are not common puppets now.
They are
self-moving evil dummies!
