23rd An Yang Yuan Wu Dao Hall Challenge Competition
Everyone, we're now at the annual,
An Yang Yuan Wu Dao Hall Challenge Competition venue.
This year, the system for the competition remains the same, with the winner decided after 3 rounds.
The Hall that wins 2 out of the 3 rounds will win.
Next up is the B group,
Hai Kuan Martial Arts Hall against Song Bai Martial Arts Hall.
The upcoming participants are Hai Kuan's Ping Chuan
and Song Bai's Ruo Bai! Ping Chuan
Ruo Bai
Ping Chuan VS Ruo Bai
Bow.
Ready!
Start!
Song Bai, good luck! Song Bai, good luck!
Song Bai's cheerleading team looks great!
Yes! Their male participant is so handsome.
- He looks like he's very talented. - Yeah!
Looks like Song Bai won't be the same this year.
Go, Song Bai! Song Bai, good luck!
Good luck, Song Bai!
Stop!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, That fellow's skills are pretty good.
9, 10! I hope his teammates won't drag him down.
Red wins! 9, 10! I hope his teammates won't drag him down.
Red wins!
Senior Ruo Bai, you're brilliant!
Thanks.
Your last spinning back kick was beautiful. When are you going to teach me?
Play less games and practice more.
This is my first time watching Senior Ruo Bai compete.
He was really good!
My idol is obviously skilled!
Today's match against Hai Kuan Martial Arts Hall,
our Senior Ruo Bai won one round, and Senior Yi Feng won one round too.
This is really great!
Next up is Senior Xiu Qin
against Hai Kuan's Senior Lan Ying.
I wonder what the opponent is like.
I heard that Senior Lan Ying is very good.
But it's okay, we already won two rounds!
It doesn't matter if Senior Xiu Qin wins or not.
Don't worry, she's not your opponent.
Last year during the National Championships, you managed to win easily.
This time around, you can definitely win against her again!
Xiu Qin, good luck! Xiu Qin, good luck!
Blue. Red.
Xiu Qin
Lan Ying
Lan Ying VS Xiu Qin
Attention. Bow!
Ready.
Start!
Go, Song Bai! Song Bai, good luck!
All the best!
Go, Song Bai! Xiu Qin, good luck!
Xiu Qin should be fine, right?
Come on! Kick!
Xiu Qin!
She's so good!
She used the momentum of her forward movements to power her leg.
This way, her kicks will be more powerful.
Furthermore, with the momentum of her forward movements, it'll be difficult for the opponent to avoid.
Well done, Lan Ying!
- Xiu Qin. - Her moves are so fierce. How is Senior Xiu Qin going to win?
Seems like there's no hope for this round.
Let's just submit to the will of heaven, I can't cheer anymore.
We cannot give up! We need to have faith in Senior Xiu Qin.
Go, Xiu Qin! Go, Xiu Qin!
Good luck, Xiu Qin! Go, sister!
Xiu Qin!
Go, Xiu Qin!
A blazing light shines on my shoulder
A boiling heart fills my chest
The rhythm of my breathing matches my steps
I've never been panicked

Before I become exhausted, let me enjoy this light Turns out she's from Song Bai.
shining on my path Things are going to get interesting.
No longer afraid of the desolation of the night
Bai Cao, you're awesome, you should lead us!
I can't do it. You should lead us instead.
It's okay, you can! Everyone thinks that you can do it!
That's right! Come on, quick!
- Go, Xiu Qin! - Go, Xiu Qin!
My dreams are not that heavy
I only want to inspire myself
What I've missed is a thing of the past
So I'll let them cheer for me from behind Don't worry Coach, based on Lan Ying's skills, she can definitely win!

Xiu Qin! Xiu Qin!
This is wonderful, we won!
- Xiu Qin! Xiu Qin! - We won!
That's my sister!
Let's go for a Western spread and huge hamburgers!
Bai Cao!
Guang Ya.
So, you're now part of Song Bai?
Exactly. She just got accepted into Song Bai.
- Betrayer! - How shameless.
Aiya, I heard that Quan Sheng Martial Arts Hall lost in the competition, right?
What did you say? So, what if we lost?
Don't tell me Song Bai will never lose a single round?
Qi Bai Cao, how do you still have the cheek to be here?
You betrayed Quan Sheng Martial Arts Hall
and joined Song Bai.
Now, you're mocking us arrogantly?
Have you forgotten who was the one who provided you food and water,
funded your studies, and taught you martial arts from when you were young?
Qi Bai Cao, you really are a betrayer!
Hey, who are you calling a betrayer?
Who doesn't know that you guys used underhanded tricks and was exposed
and kicked Bai Cao out of Quan Sheng Martial Arts Hall due to shame?
If you guys don't want Bai Cao, don't tell me other Halls aren't allowed to accept her?
- You-- - What?
Qi Bai Cao! I really misjudged you.
I thought even if everyone looked down on Qu Xiang Nan,
at least you wouldn't.
I didn't expect you to be just like everyone else!
It was Master Qu who brought Bai Cao to Song Bai.
What? It can't be!
You and Qu Xiang Nan depend on each other to live. What? It can't be!
You and Qu Xiang Nan depend on each other to live.
How would he be willing to let you join another Hall?
It's up to you to believe it.
Let's go.
Come on.
Fine.
Our tiny temple is unfitting for a big Buddha like you.
Someone has already climbed up the ranks in Song Bai.
It's only natural that she no longer has to acknowledge Quan Sheng Martial Arts Hall.
That's enough. Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
Some things don't have to be explained in detail,
or right will become wrong instead.
Just do whatever you're doing well and that'll be enough.
Come on, let's go for a feast.
- Bottoms up. - Cheers!
We won today. We're off to a great start.
The cheerleading team performed well.
Thank you, Senior Ruo Bai! We'll continue to do our best.
Actually you guys are the one that should receive the credit.
Let me propose a toast to the Seniors.
Here.
This year, we'll definitely be able to hold our heads up high.
We'll not only win the semi-final, but also the finals. We are the best!
Bottoms up!
Hey, me too!
Here's a toast to our two senior brothers and my sister!
Congratulations to you guys.
Senior Xiu Qin.
Here's a toast to the cheerleading team too.
It's all thanks to everyone.
Thank you, Senior Xiu Qin.
Bai Cao.
Thanks, Senior.
Bai Cao, you were awesome today.
We were all tired of cheering, but luckily, we have you.
Bai Cao, remember to cheer for me on when I compete.
I'll surely win with you cheering by the side.
Okay.
This is weird, Xiao Ying's moves should be quick.
Why do I see it almost like frame to frame.
Xiao Ying, are you okay?
Bai Cao, I am fine.
I noticed that you are different these days.
Don't tell me you succeeded in practicing the attacking stance?
I am not sure.
Maybe just a little bit.
You two can stop now.
Xiu Da.
Here.
Senior Ruo Bai.
- You go practice with Bai Cao. - Yes.
Why do we have to switch when me and Bai Cao have been practicing fine?
Start practicing.
Why can't I read his momentum?
Are the practices I have been doing recently all a waste?
Why is Xiu Da's patterns so different from Xiao Ying?
I can't grasp his movements at all.
Bai Cao, I know you are better than this.
What is going on?
Nothing, I am just confused.
Can you continue?
I can do it.
- Ping Ping. - Here.
You are next.
Ping Ping's axe kicks are the best.
Why is she using roundhouse kicks?
- Yin Yin, you are up next. - Yes.
Bring it on.
What's going on?
What? My judgments are wrong again.
Yang Rui, continue.
Alright.
What's with Senior Bai, why is he doing this?
Bai Cao is also weird. She's neither attacking or defending.
This will get serious if they continue to fight.
It seems Bai Cao is trying to read her opponent's momentum.
Ruo Bai, you didn't need to embarrass her like this.
Although, I see why you are doing this.
What if she can't handle this?
If she can't handle this much, why is she still practicing martial arts?
- Are you okay? - Bai Cao!
Do you understand now?
Even if you can
analyze all of Xiao Ying's moves,
you still can't win once you change opponents.
No matter how hard I tried to observe my opponents' moves,
I still can't win?
There are so many martial artists in this world,
and each of them have their own variations of the arts.
You might be able to study one person,
but do you think you can study every person who practices martial arts?
Think this over by yourself.
Bai Cao, Senior Bai is right. This method won't work.
Why don't we switch to another method, okay?
Can I do that?
"There are so many martial artists in this world
and each of them have their own variations of the arts.
You might be able to study one person,
but do you think you can study every person who practices martial arts?"
Bai Cao, are you sure you don't want to go to the movies with us?
It's not every day that we get a break from school.
It's okay, you guys should go.
I have to go to practice later.
You only think of three words every day. "Practice. Martial. Arts."
You don't even give yourself a bit of time to do something else. You'll become a robot at this rate!
Xiao Ying, I am not going, you guys can go.
It's fine, we'll go without her.
[To: Qi Bai Cao]
[From: Qu Xiang Nan]
Master,
Everyone is saying I can't continue training like this.
I wish you were here,
to tell me if I am doing it right or wrong.
Master, where are you?
Ting Yi, have classes ended?
Yes.
I am here to pick you up.
Where are you?
I am in front of the school entrance.
Okay, wait for me.
Alright, see you later.
- Bye, Bye. - Bye.
This is only one move.
So, why is everyone's momentum so different?
Ugh!
Are you okay? I am so sorry.
Beautiful, this is only our second meeting.
- Why are you so mean to me? - It's you.
Why, are you that happy to see me.
Hey.
Your face is red.
What are you doing! Stop right there.
You owe me one after I rescued you last time.
This time, you almost kicked me.
Wait. It's not 'almost'. You kicked me, so you owe me two favors.
According to ancient customs, you should be married to me for saving your life.
And, you are still so mean to me.
Oh no, it hurts.
You are the one who ran up to me.
No, I can't stand.
Are you okay? Did I really injure you?
How can I still be okay? Let me tell you, this area is a man's most important part.
- I don't care, you have to compensate for this. - What?!
You don't want to?
You are faking this?
Me? Faking?
There are many others who could see you were the one who kicked me first.
Go call the police and let them handle this.
This hurts so much. Call the police, now.
Fine! What kind of compensation do you want?
You definitely won't be able to afford to pay up. How about this, I'll let you treat me for dinner.
Welcome.
Didn't you say it was going to be cheap?
Oh well, we came in already. If we leave now, that would be so embarrassing.
This way, please.
- Hello? - Where are you?
Ting Yi, your brother is busy right now.
You can go home first.
- Okay. - Bye, Bye.
Please, sit.
Thank you.
This is the menu.
Are you ready to order?
Not yet.
- It is not to your taste? - No, just give me a mintute.
Why don't I give you some recommendations?
It's fine, I am not hungry.
Can I just get a cup of water?
Give her a cup of water.
I'll order then. I have been out this whole day
and you kicked me so I am so hungry.
You should eat more then, I have to go back to training later.
Okay, I'll thank you in advance.
I'll get a Iberian ham salad with honeydew,
cheese lobster bisque, and a medium well steak, for desert--
Why don't we wait until the main course is out to see if
we need to pick more.
No, I've only picked 3 dishes. It is definitely not enough.
For dessert, I'll get a lava cake.
This is all, thank you.
Are you sure you are not hungry?
I'll eat now.
Hey, are you really not hungry?
- I'm not hungry. - You're not hungry and you drank 5 cups of water?
I-I need to go the restroom.
I won't have enough money.
Waiter.
I will checkout.
Thank you.
We are leaving.
What?
Dine and dash!
Relax and act natural.
What are you doing, we haven't paid yet!
I've already told you, dine and dash!
What if someone caught us?
Please, wait.
Sir.
Please, don't arrest me.
No, don't arrest him, arrest me!
This is a gift our hotel has prepared.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Wait.
What are you waiting for? Get in the car.
Not yet.
I have to go back and pay.
Why?
We ran and did so much work to get away and we're doing this to help you save money.
I don't need your help. It is not right to not pay.
My Master would always insist on returning
extra change when he used to go shopping.
My Master said one should never deceives,
or you will eventually deceive not only others, but yourself.
Wait up.
Do you know
how much that meal cost? $1000. Do you have that much money?
That much?
Even if I don't have enough money, I can still do kitchen work to make up for it.
I can do part time and pay back the money.
I will work every dime and pay back all I owe.
Wait.
- Let go. - I have already paid.
I'll prove it.
My credit card transaction totals to $1386.
I told you and you don't believe me.
Why are you staring?
Hey.
Are you mad?
Are you really mad? I am only joking.
FIne.
You kicked me and I did this. Let's call it even now.
What are you doing?
This is $327.
50 cents. The meal was $1386.
I owe you $1000 and--
$58.50.
Okay, I don't need your 50 cents.
Give me your phone number.
You have quite an unique way of asking for a number.
Quick!
Okay, okay.
Here.
I'll call you when I have the money.
I have to go back to training now.
Are you mad?
Please, don't be mad. I was only joking.
Where are you going? I'll drive you.
Hey, girls don't look pretty when they are mad.
Here, why don't you kick me.
Or I will treat you for a meal, what do you want to eat?
You are a jerk!
Hey, don't go.
Did you think your two legs would win against my four wheels?
Are you still mad?
Wait.
You look small, but you sure have a big temper.
You are a rich guy and I know you don't care about money. But do you really have to shame people with your money?
I admit I have never been to fancy restaurants and I don't have a rich lifestyle.
But, that does not mean you can play with other people's emotions like this.
I beg you, please leave me alone.
I was only joking with you.
Oh.
You are being serious now?
I want to train martial arts. I want to learn.
I have so much to do.
I beg you not to use my training time to embarrass me
It has already been half a month and I can't even fight back.
Everyone's techniques are so different,
but I still can't find the basis for the attacking stance!
And, you are here just wasting my training time.
At this rate, I won't be able to get the qualifications
to attend the Hall Challenge Matches next year.
Why do you insist on going to the Hall Challenge Matches?
I will be able to meet my Master again if I qualify,
after I win the Hall Challenge Matches.
I haven't seen my Master in a very long time.
I don't even know if he is doing well right now.
I'll pay back the money I owe you by the end of this month.
I have to go back to training now.
Please, don't go looking for me.
Doesn't martial arts only have those few moves, isn't it all the same?
How can it be the same?! You don't even understand, I don't want to talk you.
Wait.
You can take back your money. I used my card earlier, why are you giving me cash?
What's the difference? They are all money anyways, I will pay you back the rest.
You are right, what is the difference?
They are all the same.
It is true that there are only those few moves to martial arts.
I may just have better kicks than you if you teach it to me.
It is like this?
Hah.
Am I doing it right?
The same?
Of course, it will have similarities.
If not, how would you pass it down and educate it to the next generation?
That means I should be looking at the areas that are similar?
And not areas that are dissimilar?
Every leaf is different.
Yet, leaves are just leaves.
They are not butterflies and not grass.
The core is still there.
So, as long as it's Yuan Wu Dao,
it doesn't matter if it's Xiu Da, Xiao Ying, or Yang Rui,
they are actually all the same as me!
I have to look at the common points.
I think I understand now. I have to go back to the martial arts hall.
Hey, what's your name?
Qi Bai Cao.
I can see it.
What is wrong with Bai Cao?
Why does it look like she's fighting with herself?
Is this even possible?
Is she obsessed?
Xiu Da. Bai Cao.
Start.
Ruo Bai, let's make a bet.
If Bai Cao wins this round, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. What do you think?
I am glad to have met you.
Impossibilities have been achieved like miracles.
It is almost magical.
Because I have met you
I have come to believe
I can fly across seas of people.
Just to find you.
I can soar like the wind
and shine like the brightest light in the world.
I will never waver to walk through the unknown future.
Whoa! Bai Cao learned the god like opening move? I am glad that I've met you
Meeting you is the best time of my life
It isn't certain if you hurt your bones.
You are heavily bruised, yet you're so happy.
Senior Chu Yuan, actually, it doesn't really hurt.
I seemed to have succeeded this much today.
- Is that so? - Yes!
Today, I fought with 5 different people.
But, I'm gradually getting better and better.
Towards the end,
I felt that my body could move instinctly
without thinking with my brain.
It seems like you didn't get these bruises for nothing then.
Brother Chu Yuan, I found a really good place that serves Korean cuisine.
Let's go together.
Senior Ting Yi.
Ting Yi? Why are you here?
I thought you were having practice.
Even if I don't practice,
it's not certain that someone will be able to defeat me.
Brother Chu Yuan, I have something to tell you.
Hold on for awhile. I still have a wounded person here.
Brother Chu Yuan, it seems like you're still the same as when we were young.
No matter who is injured, be it a kitten or puppy, you'd still treat them.
No wonder you majored into medicine.
Senior Chu Yuan, it's okay. It doesn't hurt.
Listen to me.
You'll only slow down your recovery if you don't treat the bruises.
Brother Chu Yuan, you really don't understand women.
Let me do it instead. How can a guy like you, help a girl to massage?
Look at Bai Cao, she's already blushing.
Sure. I'll get you guys a cup of water.
Okay.
Wow, your injuries are pretty serious. How did you get them?
I... I'm trying out a new technique.
If you wanted to see brother Chun Yuan, you can just come to him everyday.
Even though he likes peace and hates to be bothered,
we wouldn't want you to
hurt your own body just so
you can find excuses to see him.
Don't you think so?
Senior Ting Yi.
It isn't like that! I didn't injure myself on purpose.
It's fine.
With your ability, it's pretty unlikely that you've injured yourself so frequently.
Since long ago, there have been many girls who liked brother Chun Yuan.
This is not something you should be embarrassed about.
But, you are still young,
I advise you to put more effort into your studies, am I right?
I didn't. I really didn't.
Ting Yi.
What are you guys chatting about?
It's a secret.
Bai Cao, I am also a girl. I know how girls think.
Don't you have competitions coming up?
You wouldn't want your thoughts to disturb your classes and your competitions, right?
Thank you, Brother Chun Yuan, I am leaving now. I won't be bothering you in the future.
- Bai Cao. - Brother Chu Yuan.
Honey has been added in the drink. As expected, you still know my taste.
I only left for a bit, what exactly did you both talk about?
She is already embarrassed, don't bother her with more questions.
Besides, she still has more training afterwards.
Senior Ruo Bai, I am sorry.
I was too rash.
It seems like the training wasn't so tiring after all, seeing that you still have energy to run around.
It's not like that.
Did you think you have improved? Is that why you don't care anymore?
It's not like that.
If you are worrying about other things all day long,
how much energy do you think you can put into your training?
It seems you are all talk when you say you wanted to improve your arts for Master.
I understand, Senior Ruo Bai. I will do better from now on.
Master, please train me with the strictest standards.
I can withstand it all as long as I can succeed.
Look, it's Fang Ting Yi's commercial.
Look at her, she's not only a martial art champion, but also a commercial star.
How lucky do you think her mother was
to have such a dazzling daughter?
I bet you only wanted to say 'blink blink' (bright, dazzling).
Bling bling? You're more like useless!
You two are both daughters,
why is it that we have such a useless daughter in our house?
Ha, you can always cut it off if you choose.
Yeah, I'll cut you off, cut you off!
Dr. Plant - Extract from Mountain Wilderness, The Way of Natural Beauty
No matter how impressive, she'll eventually be Song Bai's daughter-in-law.
Senior Chun Yuan and her are childhood friends,
they might get married any day now.
You have a point.
Both of them are so talented,
they are like those perfect couples from TV.
At this rate, if I ever become Song Bai's manager in the future,
I'll bring them out of Asia and to the world.
When that happens, whether it is Senior Ting Yi or someone else,
they'll all become my soldiers.
Daughter, wake up.
Are you dreaming?
If you wanted to see brother Chun Yuan, you can just come to him everyday.
We wouldn't want you to
hurt your own body just so
you can find excuses to see him.
Senior Chun Yuan and her are childhood friends,
they might get married any day now.
Xiao Cao, what am I thinking?
Senior Ting Yi is so talented.
She and Senior Chun Yuan are perfect together.
I shouldn't become a burden to them.
Senior Ruo Bai is right.
I should focus my mind on my training.
Turkestan Rose of the First Night
The semi-finals will end in a few days.
We'll be able to move onto the preliminaries if we win.
Song Bai has already had 4 consecutive wins this year.
We're on a lucky streak, don't you think?
Bai Cao.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Bai Cao.
Senior Chun Yuan, what are you doing here?
I have something to say to Bai Cao.
Okay, I'll go to training now.
Bai Cao, I couldn't finish treating your ankle injury yesterday.
Come to my office after training and I'll look over it.
It's alright, Senior Chun Yuan.
It's only a small injury, it'll heal itself.
I shouldn't bother you with it.
Bai Cao.
Yesterday, Ting Yi...
Yesterday, Ting Yi was only joking, don't let it bother you.
You are always welcome if you are ever injured.
Thank you, Senior Chun Yuan.
I still think Senior Ting Yi is right.
I should focus on my training, it is only a little injury.
I shouldn't bother you.
I have to go to training now.
Hey.
Anyang will become the new...
National Yuan Wu Dao Youth headquarters.
The head coach is the world famous coach, Shen Ling.
We are lucky to have Shen Ling with us
for an exclusive interview today.
Hello, everyone from An Yang.
Coach Shen, what are your expectations on the Yuan Wu Dao Team?
Yuan Wu Dao is a style I have been training since my youth.
Gosh, is this really that famous Coach Shen?
I heard she is really impressive.
She's finally coming to An Yang.
Who's coach Shen Ling?
Coach Shen Ling is known as the magician in the coaching world.
If you can be coached by her,
you don't have to worry about anything else.
I heard all the students trained by her got into the National Youth Competition.
Even if the students are like those two over there,
they'll still have some impressive results.
Coach Shen, out of all the places, why did you choose
An Yang to be the headquarter of Yuan Wu Dao Youth Team?
An Yang is my hometown and it's also the hometown of Yuan Wu Dao.
The culture and values of Yuan Wu Dao is in An Yang,
and there is also a group of hardworking Yuan Wu Dao athletes.
It is only right to choose An Yang as the headquarter.
What methods would you use to pick out the athletes to be in the training camp?
I will pick out athletes through the Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches this year.
I will only choose the strongest, most special athletes with the highest potential.
If I get chosen by Coach Shen,
even if she just gives me a few pieces of advice,
it is still worth all the training I've done all these years.
Tomorrow will be the semi-final of the Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches.
I will be going to all the upcoming matches after the semi finals.
I am looking forward to everyone's performances.
Gosh, Coach Shen is going to the Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches?!
Oh yeah, tomorrow we will be up against Jiang Bei Hall.
Then, Coach Shen will be able to see your performance.
That's great, you'll definitely be chosen.
I will let Coach Shen remember that there's
an athlete called Wu Xiu Qin.
Coach Shen Ling is a hot figure in the coaching world.
I didn't think she'll pick out a student from the Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches.
No wonder there were rumors that something big is happening.
They were talking about this.
Chateau Cheval wine is ranked within the top ten worldwide.
Unlike the Lafite and Latour wines which are of lesser quality.
People who like them are usually ones with great taste.
She's like a female.
When young, there's a hint of innocence,
when she matures, she sucks you in with her charms.
Although the year of this bottle is not that great.
My bottle of wine is better.
The sunshine of that year was the most abundant.
This wine best represents
the best of the Bordeaux region.
I strongly believe that year was the best year.
Do you want to try some?
How it is? Does the taste of this wine compare to your beauty?
It was alright.
This wine can't compare to that mouth of yours.
Look at you with that buttery mouth,
no wonder your grandfather is worried about you.
Well, I haven't seen you in a long time.
I was happy and I talk more when I am happy.
Yeah, save it.
Tell me
This time
you are sponsering us again
Once again, you tricked me into meeting you in private.
What's your intention?
I wanted to meet you because I haven't seen you in a while.
I did the sponsorship because I want to expand Yuan Wu Dao in An Yang.
Really?
Do you think you can fool me with that explanation?
I don't care what your reasons are,
but I can tell you that the headquarters are for finding students with potential to go into the professionals.
All the criteria are made strictly with that in mind.
I will not let anyone hinder my final decisions.
