Ultimate Three Kingdoms Episode 29 Introduction
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are high school students, but due to their excessive love for chivalry and righteousness, they have been expelled from twenty-four schools, earning the nickname "Twenty-Four Schools!" Just as they feel desperate after being expelled again, a man with large earlobes suddenly appears. He introduces himself as Liu Bei, style Xuande, a fallen noble who frequently changes schools because he cannot afford the tuition fees. Liu Bei proposes a plan: since he has noble blood, he can attend the best national noble school, the "Donghan Academy." However, only members of the royal family can enroll, and the tuition is extremely expensive. Zhang Fei, wealthy and generous, says he can help pay the tuition for everyone. Liu Bei replies that as long as the money issue is resolved, everything can be solved. He suggests the three of them become sworn brothers, making all of them members of the royal family and thus eligible to enroll. The three head to a beautiful and meaningful place to swear brotherhood. Just as they finish saying, "We don't seek to be born on the same day, but we wish to die on the same day," four people—Xiu, Wang Ddong, Ding Xiaoyu, and Wang Yase—from the Iron Space-Time dimension break through a time-space portal into Silver Space-Time. Due to Ddong's carelessness, a coin falls, knocking over an empty can, which in turn knocks over a stone, causing a chain reaction that results in a falling rock hitting Liu Bei and killing him! Guan Yu, committed to his promise, wants to follow his elder brother and die on the same day. Zhang Fei tries to stop him but fails, so he knocks Guan Yu unconscious. They then discover that Liu Bei is not dead, just severely injured and unconscious. After consulting with Ddong, Xiaoyu, and Yase, they decide to leave Xiu in Silver Space-Time as a substitute (since Xiu's counterpart in Silver Space-Time is Liu Bei). Reluctantly, Xiu agrees to maintain the order of space-time. Meanwhile, the other three take the seriously injured Liu Bei back to Gold Space-Time for treatment. When Guan Yu wakes up and finds out that the fake Liu Bei (Xiu) is still alive, he is very happy. Zhang Fei is also glad that they don't all have to die together. Thus, the three finally arrive at Donghan Academy, where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei believe they can achieve great things.
The three hope to study well and graduate from Donghan Academy. However, because of its prominence, Donghan Academy attracts attacks from Huangjin High School and Hedong High School (where Dong Zhuo is the principal), putting Donghan Academy in constant peril. Master Zuo Ci even sets up the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation' at the school gate to prevent students from attending classes. Naturally, the three cannot stand by and let this happen, so they attempt to break the formation. However, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is not easy to break. Moreover, their elder brother, Liu Bei Xiu, and Xiao Qiao are trapped inside the formation, facing life-threatening danger. Therefore, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei follow the suggestion of Student Union President Cao Cao and find Ma Chao, an extremely resilient and cheerful young man, along with his good friend Huang Zhong, an infallible marksman, to help break the formation. Additionally, Zhao Yun, a super handsome youth who has always been at odds with them, joins the group. Together, the five of them break the formation and rescue Liu Bei Xiu and Xiao Qiao. During the process of breaking the formation, Guan Yu saves Zhao Yun's life by using his arm to block an arrow in a critical moment. This act resolves the previous animosity between Zhao Yun and the other two, leading Zhao Yun to call the other four brothers and pledge loyalty, working together to break the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
After successfully breaking the formation and gaining new brothers, they thought they could smoothly finish high school. However, on one side, Huangjin High School was eyeing Donghan Academy's resources greedily, while on the other side, Dong Zhuo, the principal of Hedong High School, Cao Cao, the student union president of Donghan Academy, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Guandong School Alliance, were all ambitious for the throne of the 'Alliance Leader.' Thus, it was destined that Liu Bei and the Five Tiger Generals would not lead peaceful campus lives. A battle for supremacy is about to begin...
