Urban fantasy drama at its finest
As always, Chinese dramas excel in producing high-quality projects based on supernatural concepts with the touch of their culture and history. This is one of the best series I’ve watched in Wuxia’s category. Alongside the masterpieces such as The Untamed, Word of Honor, Heaven Official’s Blessing, etc. The unique thing about this show is how they set up the story in the modern world. I highly applaud the production staff for presenting extraordinary editing and visual effects. The variety of introducing numerous superpowers was cool and pleasant, all thanks to the smooth delivery of the CGI.
The 100th Outsiders Martial Arts Contest was such an anime peak tournament level. The fight scenes, bonds, and the clash of powers were just always the cherry on top within the show. This arc also has my favorite episode. The battle round between Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing. These two sorcerer magic users engaged in an astonishing duel plus the epic animation quality keeps me in my seat so tightly. Both actors are so handsome too that I can’t help but ship them. The camp night out during the middle of the tournament was so cute. I believed that it was the root of their friendships.
My favorite thing about these kinds of dramas is the diversity of groups that they can offer to the audience. We have different sects, clans, families, and sub-groups that provide additional spice to the conflicts. The notable ones are the NTD express, four crazies of sinister pleasure, ten elders, all-encompassing guilds, and the 36 thieves.
Yet, no one can top the major grouping that the show has which is the eight supremes. In this season, we were only introduced to five of these powerful abilities; the Qi Apotheosis, Qimen Manipulation, Dispatch of Detained Spirit, Infinite Heavenly Talisman, and the Double Quan Palm. All are high-powered techniques that we got to see a glimpse of their abilities.
Double Quan Palm was the only technique that was explained to us in detail. It was a creepy magic that allowed the user to control memories by removing, altering, and transferring them to another person. It can also have the ability to regenerate broken parts of the body.
The main point that I admired about the characters is how the oldies believed that the youth are now the savers of the present while supporting them from the side. In the finale episode, we got to see the four new-gen individuals, aside from the MC, who helped him defeat the creator of the double quan palm technique. Some points during the last episode were not explained well but I know they will tackle it in the sequel. Qi Apotheosis is such a broken ability and I am excited to see more from the endpoint of all Qi techniques.
While watching this, I am either laughing, amazed, or crying. The comedy was good as an entertainment but the tragic story was too painful. Even though I watched this two years after the release date, I am still happy that I will not have to wait more longer to see the sequel that was just ended recently as well. That’s all I can say and catch you up in another review after I complete the second season of this well-written fiction.
