ep 9 spoilers ahead

1.Shifu is so angry he injures Xiao Fan (he spits up blood!) and he storms off. The female teacher/wife tells the students to take care of him and she will try to persuade him (never mind that she knows what Lin Er did!) he is healed....and then he must fight against Lu Xue Qi (stoic girl!)

2.Okay this makes sense now. I am thinking that his shifu injured him to 'even the playing field' since Xue Qi has suffered injuries up to this point (more than him)

3.The battle commences, and Xue Qi is verrry skilled, able to perform advanced magic spells. She is also able to help Xiao Fan, as she somehow connects with him mentally to save him from his 'mind demon', which looks like Boss and wants the destruction of their sect

4.While everyone outside watches them stand still, they are both trapped in his mind, tasked with hunting down his mind demon...He begs her to kill him when they escape (!) but her words are of hope and support (awwww! I like her!)

5.Once they kill the mind demon, there is an explosion of magic power in the real world and they fall unconscious...

6.Meanwhile, in ghost kingdom the king and his general are discussing the competition while princess listens. It seems that the competition was a draw between Xiao and Qi and princess calls Xiao weak; however the king tells her not to look down on a boy who has such special destiny to attract such a mysterious power...

7.Meanwhile, a recovered Xiao is speaking to Lin Er, who shares that her father hit him because he was clearing up his blood clots, not to punish him

8.After being questioned again, Xiao tells Tian that he found the torch while at the mountain (in pursuit of boss) in a puddle. His shifu tells him that it is an object of blood skill, and that it is bound to him because his blood has fallen on it. He also shares that it is a type of magic their sect does not used and has always been used by those of the evil sect.

9.Tian is able to convince his shifu that he truly did not know of the object's controversial use, and that he has been using it without knowing how. Still, his master points out that the object holds a strong murderous intent and that not even all the sect masters could wield it with their cultivation (destiny..) so now he has to go to Tian Palace and pass another test...

10.So he doesn't seem to have an evil aura (they test him) however Jung Yue's master Cang Song is extremely hateful it seems (or just careful, depending on how you look at it) and strongly believes that he is there as a spy :/

11.Bwahahahaaha junior sister stands up for Xiao and points out what we are all thinking--that Cang Song is just bitter that his disciples lost why else would he be trying to get this kid killed? he is afraid his position will be usurped!

12.Brother Cang Song reveals his awful way of thinking when he blurts out that everyone from the evil sect should be executed on sight....raising a few eyebrows. He still insists he be kicked out because of the possibility that he become evil...but based on that flawed reasoning anyone could be kicked out if he deemed them a threat....this guy is a few cards short of a full deck....

13.They decide that Xiao Fan join the three other winners and another Junior brother will study the 'magic treasure' before returning it...
