## Recap

Despite not having his hammer anymore, Elder Sky Hammer rushed at Luo Binghe, intending to crush him to death. Upon seeing this, Shen Qingqiu remembered the poisoned armor and freaked out, forgetting about Luo Binghe’s plot armor and attempting to skewer the demon to keep him away from Luo Binghe.

Despite being run through with the sword, the Elder Sky Demon still throws himself at his target with a sinister grin, though he changes targets from Luo Binghe to Shen Qingqiu. Upon making stabbing contact with Shen Qingqiu’s right arm, the demon collapses, gloating over having taken down such a large target with him.

While Shen Qingqiu insists he wasn’t pierced, his arm is covered in rows of tiny pinholes, which freaks out Luo Binghe and prompts him to take Xiu Ya and use it to threaten the demons for a cure. Before he can continue with threats, Sha Hualing explains that poison is Without A Cure.

As Shen Qingqiu mentally complains about the obviousness of Airplane’s naming conventions, Sha Hualing is inspired to continue her earlier schemes. To stop that, Shen Qingqiu points out that he isn’t a normal person, and Sha Hualing challenges him to unleash a spiritual blast to prove that he truly wasn’t affected.

Hearing all of this, Luo Binghe mentally forgives Shen Qingqiu for all his past wrongs, feeling immense guilt. Seeing Luo Binghe’s expression fluctuate, Shen Qingqiu calms him and proposes a counter deal: Him and Sha Hualing exchange a single palm strike to the death, to finally put an end to the conflict. He resolves himself to not show weakness, since he needs to protect the disciples that he subconsciously sees as real people. Sha Hualing, after worrying over whether this would kill her or if she’ll win and garner fame, decides to take him up on the offer.

Shen Qingqiu kicks Luo Binghe to the side and attacks, but was not knocked back or killed like he expected.

Liu Qingge arrived on the scene, blasting away Sha Hualing without even lifting a finger. Upon seeing him, Qiong Ding peak cheered more than they had even when Shen Qingqiu had shown up. The blast tore her revealing clothing to shreds, and she took a cloak from a subordinate to cover herself and declare that they were leaving, but would fight again in the future. Liu Qingge responds to this with a retort and a hailstorm of sword glares, which when paired with the disciples, captured most of the demons, with only a small group of them escaping the mountain with Sha Hualing.

Afterwards, Liu Qingge and the Qing Jing disciples check in on Shen Qingqiu, with Liu Qingge insisting he wouldn’t die but still sending him spiritual energy regardless. As the poison gets worse, Shen Qingqiu falls to a kneel, and pats Luo BInghe on the head before delivering a crucial line to garner more favor.

> “I knew that…you’d definitely win.”
>
>

After getting a System notification for his point increase, and seeing (and not believing) Luo Binghe cry, Shen Qingqiu passes out.

## Changes Between Versions

### The Faelicy Translation (November 2019 version)

#### Larger Changes

* When making the final wager with Sha Hualing, Shen Qingqiu’s mental resolve has a difference across translations that could change the meaning of the line. In the Faelicy translation, he says:

> Killing her at the last moment wouldn’t be difficult!
>
>

Whereas in the Seven Seas translation, he says:

> He could totally take her out too!
>
>

#### Smaller Changes

* In the Faelicy translation, it says that Shen Qingqiu “moved to block,” whereas the Seven Seas translation is more personal in that is says he “moved to protect his student.”
* When Elder Sky Hand is targeting him, in the Faelicy translation, Shen Qingqiu “promptly gave up stopping him,” whereas the Seven Seas translation alters it slightly to say he “promptly withdrew his attack.”
* Before him and Sha Hualing attack each other, in the Faelicy translation, part of what he says is “Come, come, I won’t show any mercy” while in the Seven Seas translation, he doesnt specify himself as he says “Come, come, show no mercy.”
* In the Faelicy translation, Shen Qingqiu refers to Ning Yingying as “Ning Yingying.” whereas in the Seven Seas translation he refers to her as “Yingying.”

#### Translator Note

The Faelicy translation offers a fun translator note for the title of the chapter specifically:

> 装B遭劈 is internet slang, a warning saying that posers will suffer a fall.
>
>

### The (Cnoveluv) WorshipperA Translation (June 2017 version)

#### Larger Changes

* When Elder Sky Hammer falls after hitting Shen Qingqiu, his words are different across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation, he says:

> “Shen Qingqiu was made by me into funerary goods, hahahaha. Worth! Worth it!”
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation, he says:

> “Shen Qingqiu, I’ve taken you down with me, ha ha ha ha. Worth it! It was worth it!”
>
>

* When Luo Binghe threatens Elder Sky Hammer, his words and the descriptions of his emotions differ across translations. In the WorshipperA translation:

> Angrily, he said: “Impossible! There must be a way, only you’re unwilling to give out the cure.”
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation:

> “Your people must have a cure,” he said coldly. “If you don’t hand over the antidote, I’ll definitely kill you first!”
>
>

* As Luo Binghe is feeling bad about leading to Shen Qingqiu getting poisoned, in the WorshipperA translation, he focuses on cultivation in thinking:

> He was only very clear that Shizun’s cultivation had been harmed by the demons to the point that his cultivation might be wasted, to the extent that he might be killed!
>
>

While in the Seven Seas translation, he focuses on bodily harm:

> The only thing he knew with absolute clarity was that the demons had harmed his teacher to the point that he might be crippled—he might even lose his life.
>
>

* When planning on taking a gamble to take Sha Hualing out, Shen Qingqiu has an extra line in the Seven Seas translation that is not in the WorshipperA translation:

> He could totally take her out too!
>
>

* As Sha Hualing deliberates, in the WorshipperA translation, she thinks:

> If Shen Qingqiu really had an extraordinary human body, that poison would have no effect on him. Were the two of them to fight, judging by pure strength of their spiritual power, she would die without knowing it.
>
>

Which could be seen as implying high level cultivators are unaffected. However, this line is changed to be more ambiguous about that in the Seven Seas translation:

> If Shen Qingqiu hadn’t really been poisoned, this exchange of blows would directly pit their spiritual strengths against each other, and she would definitely be killed.
>
>

* The WorshipperA translation describes Sha Hualing’s attack like:

> A shadow of red flame rose with her snow-white hand, accompanied by an overbearing demonic energy.
>
>

Whereas the Seven Seas translation describes her attack like:

> Her fire-red figure rose with a leap and she charged forth, her snow-white, jade-like palm billowing with potent, black demonic qi.
>
>

* While going to meet Sha Hualing’s attack, Shen Qingqiu in the WorshipperA translation thinks:

> he was willing to use his fleshly body to meet this palm!
>
>

While in the Seven Seas translation he thinks:

> With this one strike, he’d ensure there were no winners.
>
>

* When Liu Qingge comes to the rescue, in his mental rain of tears, Shen Qingqiu in the WorshipperA translation ends off his thoughts with a relieved tone:

> I damn well thought I was going to have to report back to my original world!
>
>

While the Seven Seas translation has more of a points based focus and says:

> How about you leave some Badass Points for me?!
>
>

* As the demons flee, there are some semantic differences across versions, such as the amount of demons captured and if any of them were killed. The WorshipperA translation:

> Additionally, Cang Qiong Mountain sect’s disciples blocked their way and a good half of the demons died, were injured, or taken prisoner. They could only closely follow Sha Hualing’s faithful subordinates killing a bloody path to escape down the mountain.
>
>

And the Seven Seas translation:

> On top of that, Cang Qiong Mountain Sect’s disciples were hemming the demons in, so most of the horde suffered great injuries or were captured. Only the small heart of the group that had kept near Sha Hualing managed to escape down the mountain, thoroughly battered and humiliated.
>
>

* In the WorshipperA translation, after patting Luo Binghe on the head, there is a small exchange that isn’t in the Seven Seas translation:

> Shen Qingqiu expressed his understanding.
> Luo Binghe must have decided that this person was a mental case + schizophrenic……
>
>

-In the Seven Seas translation, it goes straight from Luo Binghe’s reaction to how odd this would look from an outside perspective, which is in both versions.

* The +10 points that brings Shen Qingqiu to +50 B points differs across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation, its for “Choosing to fight a trial,” while in the Seven Seas translation, its for “character suspense rating”

#### Smaller Changes

* While the Seven Seas translation says that Shen Qingqiu “withdrew his attack” when he realized Elder Sky Hammer was targeting him, the WorshipperA translation says he “let go.”
* When patting Luo Binghe’s head for the first time, the WorshipperA translation says he does so “readily” while the Seven Seas translation says he does so “nonchalantly.”
* In the WorshipperA translation, Shen Qingqiu offers exchanging a few attacks with Sha Hualing, whereas in the Seven Seas translation he offers one single palm strike.
* In the WorshipperA translation, Shen Qingqiu vaguely comments on how “someone” was sent to get Liu Qingge, while the Seven Seas translation makes it clear that that person was Ning Yingying.
