Episode 13 recap: Wang Ye Displays Astonishing Strength
When Zhang Chu Lan woke up, he found many people surrounding him, smiling with hidden meanings. He quickly stated that they had only drunk together last night and then went to sleep, nothing special happened. The extraordinary beings smirked mischievously and openly mentioned that Zhang Chu Lan had displayed the power of his forbidden sand technique last night, and they had recorded it. Zhang Chu Lan looked at everyone, hoping they would forget about what happened last night, but they believed that Zhang Chu Lan was the first person brave enough to cause such a scene at the Celestial Masters' Mansion.
They admired him greatly and assured him that the recording would be kept. Zhang Chu Lan realized that his embarrassing situation had been captured on video and anxiously rushed forward, wanting everyone to delete it. However, at that moment, the quarterfinals of the Extraordinary Beings Tournament began, and Zhang Chu Lan had to stop.
Zhang Chu Lan knew he had embarrassed himself, so this time he entered wearing sunglasses and a mask, covering himself with clothes. This attempt to deceive others earned ridicule from several Lao Tian Shi. Zhang Zhi Wei attended the event today with panda eyes and glasses, which aroused Feng Zheng Hao's curiosity, prompting him to inquire about the reason. Zhang Zhi Wei jokingly said that he had become like this from holding back. Tian Jin Zhong overheard this and couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Zhang Zhi Wei somewhat embarrassed. He then threatened Tian Jin Zhong that if he continued to laugh, he would throw him off the stage.
In the first quarterfinal match, Feng Bao Bao faced off against Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao could already tell that Feng Bao Bao was Zhang Chu Lan's bodyguard. As soon as the match started, Xiao Xiao used a burst of qi, catching Feng Bao Bao off guard and temporarily disorienting her. Zhang Zhi Wei and Tian Jin Zhong discussed Feng Bao Bao from the spectator stands and noticed that despite her young age, Feng Bao Bao had restrained and refined spiritual power. Her movements appeared instinctual and lacked any particular technique, which sparked their admiration for her talent. Feng Bao Bao quickly reacted and realized that Xiao Xiao was preventing her from getting close. She immediately launched a barrage of qi bullets at Xiao Xiao, startling her. However, Xiao Xiao realized that she was unharmed despite being hit by so many qi bullets and felt relieved.
Feng Bao Bao had just grasped this move, and in Zhang Xi Wei's eyes, it was like hitting someone with a golden brick. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been unable to withstand it. However, Feng Bao Bao had ample energy and could endure the consumption. Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, exhaled forcefully at Feng Bao Bao, and launched a continuous pursuit. Feng Bao Bao seized the pauses in Xiao Xiao's breathing pattern and closed in on him, covering his mouth with her hand, preventing him from exhaling his energy and causing his soul to dissipate. Sensing the dire situation, Feng Bao Bao promptly sucked up Xiao Xiao's soul and swelled her belly, floating into the sky. Lu Jin became anxious upon witnessing this and was about to intervene, but Zhang Xi Wei stopped him and told him to wait.
Zhu Ge Qing and Wang Ye stepped in to help voluntarily. Zhu Ge Qing enveloped the scattered soul fragments, while Wang Ye made Feng Bao Bao regurgitate the souls she had consumed. He then molded the souls into a ball and pushed them back into Xiao Xiao's body, resolving the crisis.
Wang Ye and Zhu Ge Qing were opponents in the next match, and both were wary of each other. Wang Ye made the first move but didn't gain the upper hand. Instead, Zhu Ge Qing used his array techniques to make Wang Ye somewhat embarrassed. Zhang Xi Wei on the spectator stand opened his umbrella just in time to avoid getting wet from the water condensed by Zhu Ge Qing's techniques. However, Lu Jin wasn't as fortunate and ended up soaked. They were all amazed by Zhu Ge Qing's mastery of array techniques.
Wang Ye initially found himself at a disadvantage until Zhu Ge Qing buried him beneath a pile of earth. It was then that Wang Ye exerted his full strength. Zhu Ge Qing recognized Wang Ye as a sorcerer and advised him to withdraw from the competition. Zhu Ge Qing, curious about the outcome, consulted an oracle, which indicated a moth flying into a flame. However, Zhu Ge Qing was unwilling to accept a predetermined result and decided to engage in a fight with Wang Ye.
Wang Ye turned the tables and pursued Zhu Ge Qing relentlessly, overturning Zhu Ge Qing's understanding of the conflicting sorcery. Unable to accept this outcome, Zhu Ge Qing resorted to the Qimen Xiangxiang Heart Technique to discern the true nature of Wang Ye's sorcery. Seeing Zhu Ge Qing's persistence, Wang Ye dripped his own blood onto Zhu Ge Qing's Shangzhong acupoint. Zhu Ge Qing acknowledged his inferiority but was determined to uncover the truth, even at the cost of severe injury. Witnessing this, Wang Ye halted his intention to leave, not wanting Zhu Ge Qing to be in mortal danger. He allowed Zhu Ge Qing to experience his array techniques, where he was the master, controlling not only time and space but also the auspicious and inauspicious directions. Zhu Ge Qing finally accepted defeat and, as he left the arena, asked Wang Ye about the nature of his sorcery. Wang Ye believed he had already revealed enough and chose not to disclose further.
Having witnessed Wang Ye's strength, Zhang Chu Lan realized that even ten of himself would not be a match for him. Feng Bao Bao also recognized this, so she discreetly signaled Zhang Chu Lan and left the arena.
I really like Feng Bao Bao. She's super adorable! For someone who has only watched a few episodes of the anime, I think she really captures the essence of Feng Bao Bao.
She's so cute, and she looks beautiful too. Her acting skills are impressive, considering that this character is not easy to portray.
