Fights Break Sphere: Season 1 Episode 3 Recap
> Fights Break Sphere: Season 1 Recap
Xiao Yan represented the Xiao family disciples in the challenge. Everyone present mocked Xiao Yan, and his opponent even looked down on him. To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was overwhelming, and he effortlessly defeated his opponent, winning the first round for the Xiao family. The second round of the competition followed closely. The top fifteen in this competition would qualify to enter Canaan Academy. Nalan Jie deliberately arranged for Nalan Yanran to compete against the Xiao family.
Xiao Xun'er stepped up to challenge Nalan Yanran. She made some cold remarks to Nalan Yanran, who remained silent. Seeing Nalan Yanran about to attack Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan stepped forward to block her, and was severely injured. Xiao Yan was helped off the stage. He healed himself while Xiao Xun'er protected him. In a blink of an eye, the competition reached its final ranking match. All of the Xiao family disciples were no match for the Yunlan Sect disciples.
Xiao Yan stepped forward, representing the Xiao family in the challenge once again. Xiao Yan threw punches, using a set of Eight Extremities Collapse, and successfully won this round, greatly boosting the Xiao family's morale. Nalan Jie and Gu He both couldn't believe Xiao Yan's strength. Han Feng even speculated that Xiao Yan used prohibited drugs to win the competition. As the Xiao family cheered, Gu He openly questioned Xiao Yan.
The Yunlan Sect disciples even demanded an immediate test of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi. Responding to the crowd's request, Xiao Yan tested his own nine-segment Dou Qi, shocking everyone present. Xiao Xun'er joyfully hugged Xiao Yan, genuinely happy for him. Four disciples from the Xiao family's skill hall qualified to enter Canaan Academy.
Xiao Zhan led the four to the pavilion where Dou Skill scrolls were stored, asking them to retrieve their own Dou Skills within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Two disciples returned empty-handed from the pavilion. Xiao Xun'er obtained her Dou Skill. She wanted to share it with Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan refused Xiao Xun'er's kindness, deciding to find his own Dou Skill. Xiao Xun'er left the pavilion.
Under Yao Chen's guidance, Xiao Yan came before a Dou Skill scroll named "Three Thousand Lightning Movement". Yao Chen revealed the preciousness of this half-scroll Dou Skill, demanding that Xiao Yan must acquire it. Yao Chen prompted Xiao Yan, telling him to use the method for testing alchemy, condense his Dou Qi, use his hands as an entrance, and absorb the flame into his body. Xiao Yan faced the intense flames with his hands, enduring unbearable scorching pain.
However, Yao Chen only told Xiao Yan to continue absorbing the flames, while he resolved the intense heat for Xiao Yan from within the Spatial Ring. When Xiao Yan woke up, Xiao Xun'er was meticulously caring for him by his side and told Xiao Yan that the scroll was only half complete. Xiao Yan already knew this and was not bothered by it. Xiao Xun'er asked about the source of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi learning.
Xiao Yan stammered, unable to answer, and had to enter the Spatial Ring to seek help from Yao Chen. Under Yao Chen's guidance, he told Xiao Xun'er the whole truth, but Xiao Xun'er did not believe him, only believing that Xiao Yan was a genius. For so many years, even though Xiao Yan lived a muddled life, Xiao Xun'er remained loyal to him.
Xiao Yan sincerely thanked Xiao Xun'er, but Xiao Xun'er brought up the time when Xiao Yan saved her when they were young. In her heart, Xiao Yan had always been a genius hero. Xiao Yan came to the inner court to find Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan asked Xiao Yan why he didn't take a Heaven-grade Dou Skill but instead took an Earth-grade Dou Skill.
Xiao Yan had consecutively advanced seven segments of Dou Qi within a month, and he was proficient in using Eight Extremities Collapse. Xiao Zhan suspected Xiao Yan of colluding with someone from the Soul Hall. He threw the half-scroll Dou Skill aside and challenged Xiao Yan's strength. At the critical moment, Xiao Yan unreservedly used Eight Extremities Collapse.
Although Xiao Zhan was no match for Xiao Yan, he recognized that Xiao Yan was using a technique from the Starfall Pavilion, which surprised him. Xiao Yan only said that although his mother had not taught him Dou Skill techniques, she had left him many things. Seeing Xiao Yan's Spatial Ring, Xiao Zhan understood. He only told Xiao Yan to keep this matter a secret. Xiao Zhan asked Xiao Yan if he was determined about his path of study.
Xiao Yan's resolve to enter Canaan Academy remained unchanged. The path of study was long. Xiao Zhan sighed that Xiao Yan had grown up, and he imparted the Xiao family's ancestral six-character true words to Xiao Yan: "If you can't win, run quickly." Canaan Academy is the highest academy on the entire Dou Qi Continent. Every year, the most outstanding students selected from the Dou Qi Continent travel long distances to Canaan for further study.
Xiao Yan deeply understood that studying at Canaan Academy was the first step he would take to defeat Nalan Yanran, but entering the gates of Canaan Academy was no simple matter. Under Ruo Lin's leadership, Xiao Yan and the other disciples each received an indispensable item from Canaan Academy – an energy token. The energy token was Canaan Academy's currency.
Ruo Lin required them to carry the energy tokens and pass through the trial in the Black Corner Region Forest to enter the gates of Canaan Academy. The Black Corner Region Forest was guarded by senior students of Canaan Academy. Bullying new students and snatching the energy tokens from their hands was the trial of Canaan Academy. Many new students fell into the hands of the senior students. Xiao Yan led the group cautiously into the forest.
The forest was full of strange occurrences, and screams for help could be heard everywhere. As the wind rose, several dark figures flashed out. Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and their group were all caught by the senior students. The senior students wanted to snatch the energy tokens from the other new students. Xiao Yan acted righteously, using a set of Eight Extremities Collapse to heavily defeat the senior students, and fled to the other side with the remaining new students.
The new students gathered together, all having lost confidence. One of the new students, Hao Tian, had even participated in the new student trial for two consecutive years, both ending in failure. He told everyone that even if they could pass the Black Corner Region Forest trial, without energy tokens, they would not be able to survive in Canaan Academy. The cultivators trained by Canaan Academy were all elites, but its elimination system was extremely cruel.
Seeing everyone's discouragement, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er both spoke to encourage everyone not to give up. They all needed to fight with all their might to defeat the senior students. After hearing this, everyone united, jointly using their strengths and specialties to formulate a strategy. Hao Tian mentioned the three groups of senior students guarding the Black Corner Region Forest and analyzed their characteristics.
They first used fragrant grape juice to attract the first group of guarding senior students, then trapped them in already prepared pitfalls, stripping them of all their energy tokens and taking them for themselves. The second group of patrolling senior students, the Black and White Twin Fiends, saw how the first group of senior students had been tricked by the new students and vowed to make these new students pay the price.
The Black and White Twin Fiends ambushed Xiao Yan's group. Xiao Yan's group cooked delicious fish soup, but deliberately pretended to have an internal conflict over an uneven distribution of energy tokens. The Black and White Twin Fiends seized the opportunity to attack. They tied up Xiao Yan's group and blackmailed them for their delicious fish soup. Unexpectedly, the fish soup had already been drugged by Xiao Yan and the others.
The new students once again outsmarted and defeated the senior students. Seeing the discomfited appearance of the Black and White Twin Fiends, Xiao Yan lectured the two who had spoken so wildly. At the Canaan Academy Freshmen Conference, Prince Ye Lan of the Dou Qi Continent gave a public speech. Although his speech was full of flaws, Ruo Lin and her group still applauded him.
To Prince Ye Lan's surprise and speechlessness, several senior students returned to Canaan Academy in a state of disarray, their upper bodies exposed. On the other side, Xiao Yan's group continued to brave the third round of trials. The guardian of the third round was Bai Shan. Bai Shan demanded that they hand over all the energy tokens on them. His Dou Qi techniques were powerful.
A new student named Lin Xiuya was not his opponent, and even Xiao Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse was no match for Bai Shan. Bai Shan was slightly interested in Xiao Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse. He wanted to continue to challenge Xiao Yan, but Xiao Xun'er blocked Xiao Yan at the critical moment. Bai Shan was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Xiao Xun'er, but he easily pinpointed several people's acupoints, rendering them unable to move.
Bai Shan demanded that Xiao Yan hand over the energy tokens. Xiao Yan hastily entered the Spatial Ring to seek help from Yao Chen. Yao Chen, unable to resist Xiao Yan's persistent pestering, had no choice but to teach him how to feign death to deceive Bai Shan, and then seize the opportunity to sneak attack and defeat Bai Shan. Xiao Yan's group defeated Bai Shan, seized all the energy tokens from him, and exited the Black Corner Region Forest.
Lin Xiuya and Hao Tian were both very envious and curious about Xiao Yan's nine-segment Dou Qi. Xiao Yan merely stated that he too had gone through a long period of low points, and only through persistence did he achieve everything he had today. At the same time, Xiao Yan encouraged Hao Tian, who only had two segments of Dou Qi, and regarded those who had collectively endured the Black Corner Region Forest as brothers sharing adversity. Together, they walked towards Canaan Academy.
