Perfect World (Wanmei Shijie) Episode 12: Shi Hao's Journey to Butian Pavilion

A farewell filled with emotion, a secret identity, and the toughest academy entrance exam yet—Shi Hao's journey reaches a major turning point as his legend continues to spread across the cultivation world.

The episode 12 of WanmeiShijie starts with Shi Hao enjoys one last peaceful day in Stone Village before beginning the next stage of his cultivation journey. While fishing together, Qingfeng admits that he never imagined he could experience such happiness. After his injured legs were healed in Stone Village, everyone accepted him as family and treated him like a true brother. His heartfelt words show just how much the village has changed his life.

Shi Hao then reveals his long-awaited decision. He plans to leave Stone Village and travel to Butian Pavilion to continue cultivating. His ultimate goal has never changed. He wants to become powerful enough to search Taigu Mountain for his missing parents. Qingfeng immediately insists on following him wherever he goes, proving the deep friendship that has grown between the two young cultivators.

Before departing, the villagers gather to say goodbye. The Village Chief and every resident encourage the boys while reminding them that Stone Village will always remain their home. They promise to protect the village until Shi Hao returns, while everyone emotionally asks him to come back safely after becoming stronger. The farewell becomes one of the episode's most touching moments, highlighting the importance of family even outside blood relations.

With their destination set, Shi Hao and Qingfeng officially begin their journey toward Butian Pavilion. Since Shi Hao cannot currently enter the Void God Realm, Qingfeng volunteers to gather directions there instead. Meanwhile, Shi Hao focuses on training during their travels. Constant battles against powerful beasts allow him to improve naturally, and before long he successfully reaches the fifth level of the Heavenly Passage Realm.

Their journey quickly turns into practical cultivation. Shi Hao tests the Ancient Lion Technique against wild beasts, although he admits he still hasn't fully mastered the powerful treasure technique. Qingfeng also joins the battles, gradually improving his combat skills. Through repeated life-and-death encounters, Qingfeng eventually breaks into the Blood Transformation Realm. Shi Hao proudly explains that real combat is the fastest path toward becoming stronger, and Qingfeng finally understands the value of continuous fighting instead of peaceful cultivation.

After returning from the Void God Realm, Qingfeng brings good news. He successfully learned the route to Butian Pavilion, but he also discovers something unexpected. Shi Hao has become extremely famous throughout the realm. Almost everyone now refers to him as the mysterious "Bear Cub" after his previous record-breaking achievements. The nickname embarrasses Shi Hao, who immediately realizes his reputation could create unnecessary trouble once they arrive at the academy.

Far away, influential figures also hear rumors about the Bear Cub. One elder even notices similarities between the mysterious child and Shi Ziling. This raises suspicion that Shi Ziling's supposedly missing son may still be alive. As a result, trusted subordinates are ordered to secretly observe Butian Pavilion, adding another layer of mystery surrounding Shi Hao's true identity.

Knowing many powerful forces are searching for him, Shi Hao decides to disguise himself before reaching Butian Pavilion. Using Maoqiu's transformation ability, he changes his appearance to avoid recognition. His caution proves justified because reward notices about the famous Bear Cub are displayed throughout the area surrounding the academy. Several major clans have even offered enormous rewards for anyone capable of finding him.

While approaching the mountain gate, Shi Hao selflessly gives his special admission token to Qingfeng. The token guarantees Qingfeng entry as an elite disciple without taking the examination. Qingfeng hesitates, worried about leaving Shi Hao behind, but Shi Hao confidently laughs that no entrance examination could possibly stop him. His confidence perfectly reflects both his strength and cheerful personality.

Qingfeng enters Butian Pavilion smoothly while Shi Hao prepares to participate in the public examination alongside thousands of other talented cultivators. However, his arrival immediately attracts attention from representatives of different cultivation academies. Even Zhulu Academy attempts to recruit the mysterious milk-loving genius, hoping to steal such extraordinary talent before Butian Pavilion officially accepts him.

The Butian Pavilion entrance examination officially begins inside a massive Rune Formation. The elders explain that every participant must successfully pass two separate battlefields before becoming an official disciple. The first battlefield tests observation, courage, and adaptability rather than simple combat strength.

Shi Hao immediately notices something unusual about the ancient battlefield. Based on his previous experiences inside the Void God Realm, he suspects powerful Bone Treasures may be hidden underground beneath the formation. Instead of following everyone else, he begins digging across the battlefield. His unexpected strategy uncovers numerous buried treasures, accidentally weakening the entire rune formation itself.

Because Shi Hao removes so many hidden Bone Treasures, the ancient formation loses stability. As a result, far more participants pass the first trial than the elders originally expected. Confused teachers quickly realize that someone must have interfered with the battlefield. Their suspicions instantly fall upon the infamous Bear Cub, whose unpredictable behavior has already become legendary throughout the cultivation world.

The second battlefield introduces an entirely different challenge. Instead of fighting monsters, participants must compete directly against one another for precious gemstones. Collecting two gemstones guarantees admission into Butian Pavilion, while obtaining more than ten earns the privilege of receiving personal instruction from a powerful master.

The announcement immediately transforms the battlefield into complete chaos. Every examinee begins attacking everyone nearby, hoping to steal gemstones and increase their own chances of success. Shi Hao quickly realizes that the examination openly encourages competition between future disciples.

Never one to avoid conflict, Shi Hao jumps directly into the battle. His overwhelming physical strength allows him to seize gemstone after gemstone while defeating multiple opponents with ease. Other participants soon notice his incredible abilities and decide to work together against him. Instead of backing down, Shi Hao boldly declares that if everyone wants his gemstones, they are welcome to try taking them.

A massive fight erupts as countless examinees surround the mysterious young cultivator. Despite facing overwhelming numbers, Shi Hao remains calm and effortlessly dominates the battlefield through superior speed, strength, and battle instincts. His fearless attitude once again proves why so many powerful organizations desperately want to recruit or capture him.

Just as the conflict reaches its peak, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly appears across the battlefield. Every cultivator immediately senses the overwhelming pressure, bringing the fierce competition to a sudden halt. The mysterious arrival leaves everyone stunned and perfectly sets up the next episode, where Shi Hao's academy journey is destined to become even more dangerous and far more exciting than anyone expected.
