Dance of the Phoenix Episode 16

Feng Wu and Zhao Ge attend the Junwu Academy entrance exam. They are belittled by Mu Yao. Feng Wu makes a bet with her that if she wins, Mu Yao will have to call her with an honorific title of “Father”. If she loses, she promises not to step into the capital again. All the candidates have to sit for a written exam followed by a test on their cultivation base. For the second test, the candidates are paired up randomly and they will have to fight each other. The winner will be the one who manages to snatch their opponent’s bell. Zhao Ge manages to defeat Huang Li from the Celestial Palace. She uses an unconventional weapon of a slingshot and candied fruits. Feng Wu has encouraged her to use it as Zhao Ge has poor sword-fighting skills. Throwing candied fruits was Zhao Ge’s idea of fun when she was always eating in the past. Ming Ye and Xuan Yi also defeat their opponents easily. Feng Wu is paired with Mu Yao who has been told by Qing Luan that she has to win. Mu Yao suggests that they fight without swords which increases her advantage. She keeps inflicting injuries on Feng Wu who refuses to admit defeat. Mu Yao seems more interested in taking Feng Wu’s life than snatching her bell to win. Feng Wu passes out from the continuous onslaught before suddenly rising to unleash all her powers. Master Wu witnesses Feng Wu’s spirit energy getting aroused and rushes to block Mu Yao from getting killed. He senses the phoenix blood in Feng Wu’s attack. Feng Wu faints after unleashing her powers and sleeps for 3 days. When the results are out, both Feng Wu and Zhao Ge manage to make the cut. Zhao Ge asks Xuan Yi to fulfill the wish he promised her. She wants him to allow her to address him as Brother Yi. While Xuan Yi is happy and concerned about her, he still pretends to be cold and unaffected. The Queen orders Gao Wei to investigate Feng Wu’s background after Master Wu personally recommends Feng Wu to be shortlisted. She wants to know if Feng Wu is related to the existence of Lord Mu’s soul. The Lord Demon has also found Lord Mu’s star to be twinkling again. The Queen wants to ensure Feng Wu doesn’t become the Spiritual Princess if she has great capability. The students begin their learning at Junwu Academy. Feng Wu reminds Lin Yuan about her reward.
