The Immortal Ascension Episode 11

Bloody trials days 2-5

I was surprised that this one from moon shadow sect was pure apex predator. She was out to kill immediately without hunting for herbs at all. Han Li saves his fellow disciple but it was quite a battle. I am liking his spider web weapon. It’s a very cool means of literally tying up enemy. She has hauled out a pearl and ready to finish him off when the lunatic cloud walker shows up to finish her off instead. The battle has now upped its level because he is far faster and more experienced. His lament when Han Li uses the pearl on him followed up by the thunder and lightning blast artifact. Nothing is left of the lunatic but his boots. The beast kingdom merchant is also there looking for solar flower for her brother. Han Li sees his little sister in her and helps her look for it. The beast kingdom is infiltrated by demon sect warriors. I am inclined to think the leader is well aware of what’s happening and allowing it. He acts cagey as well as loyal. The recruits are dropping like flies and only yellow leaf leader seems concerned with it. The beast leader counters that fighting will indeed be more fierce because 6o year wait til next harvest. Han Li and merchant girl come across a cagey beast guy in a cave offering maps. He trades with them but then sets them up to be killed. This plot with the two brainiacs that lost their rare mushroom to Han Li.😂 Beast girl has invisible cloak and needed herb so she is left to hide til last day and make him flatbreads. 😄 He continues to look for the last ingredient for foundation pill. He discovers that the cave is a dead end and as he makes his way to exit he sees a group of moon shadow disciples with the grandmaster as leader. He feels it is prudent to hide. There is a water beast that starts attacking when grandmaster tried opening the gold chest. The devious trader from last cave sealed them in and they now know it’s a kill or be killed scenario with water beast. Han Li continues to hide and observe the battle. The women learned it is a different beast than thought and this one can shed skin and evolve to level two. The battle s here really look like a living video game. It was quite well done. When the grandmaster is last ine left she chides Han Li to show himself and help or die. When he protests that she might kill him she reminds him he would die either way. He has one last trick up his sleeve, the golden brick talisman. They learn it is painfully slow to set up. When grandmaster almost gives up on it, it activates and kills off the monster. They have survived the battle by the skin of their teeth and the episode ends. These battles are quite exciting and well choreographed, whether between characters or characters and beasts. Production did a decent job with this. The actors depict the scene quite well and the fantastical comes off pretty real looking. These trials are exciting to watch and entertaining.
