=The Dragon Prince=
(Adapted from the novel
The Dragon Prince by Tian Can Tu Dou)
(Previously)
Zhou Yuan versus Shi Yu.
Do we continue fighting?
I I give up.
Next match,
Zhou Yuan versus Lin Feng.
A battle of attrition. Isn't it unfair?
Let me show you our disparity.
Mid-grade primal technique,
Iron Demon Barrier.
Dragon Stele Hand.
Shatter Mountains.
Break.
I give up.
=Episode 5=
(Reappearance of the Eight Meridians)
(Lord Qi's Mansion)
So that worthless prince
can now cultivate?
Yes.
And with two meridians activated,
he defeated Lin Feng.
That's the one
who once possessed the Dragon Destiny.
(Qi Yuan)
He could still rise again
(Qi Yuan)
under such circumstances.
Hard to kill.
Father, should we pass the message
to the Wu Empire?
The Wu Empire is currently contesting
with the two neighboring empires.
Who would care about the dying Zhou?
Moreover, that worthless prince
had his Dragon Destiny taken away.
And he is plagued
by the Grudge Dragon Poison.
Recovery won't be so easy.
But after Zhou Yuan
won first place in the Major Exam,
one of the top ten candidates
who agreed to join House B
joined House A.
It doesn't matter.
I have been scheming for many years.
Even Zhou Qing
wouldn't do anything to me.
Can the guy who has only activated
two meridians
change the overall situation?
(Secret book)
The most important thing right now
is the year-end Mansion Exam.
House B must win first place.
Only then can we take control
of the Zhou Mansion
and further weaken Zhou Qing's power.
Only then will the Wu Empire
truly value us.
Trust me, Father.
I'm unrivaled in the Zhou Mansion.
I will certainly win first place.
As for Zhou Yuan,
I will cripple him
to see if he can rise again.
(House A, Zhou Mansion)
Here they come.
Here they come.
Yes, Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
Please don't do this.
There's no prince here.
Just call me Zhou Yuan from now on.
Welcome to House A.
I am the leader, Yang Zai.
Your performance
in the Major Exam yesterday
has spread throughout the mansion.
With you joining,
we have grown a lot stronger.
My name is Song Qiushui.
Yesterday, when we heard that you
and Prince Zhou Yuan chose House A,
we were incredibly happy.
We came early today to wait for you.
Of course, these guys
were more eager to see
the mansion's top beauty.
What top beauty?
- Qiushui, don't make fun of me.
- Youwei is shy.
All of you, don't look.
Right.
Song Qiushui,
I hear you chattering
first thing in the morning.
- Master.
- Master.
Yang Zai, how can you
let them mess around?
Yes.
Only three of you ranked
in the top ten in the Major Exam.
Starting today,
you must double your training.
No way?
Double again?
Didn't we just double it last time?
Yeah, it's going to be exhausting.
Now, only Yang Zai and Song Qiushui
have activated five meridians.
The others only activated
less than four meridians.
If none of you activate six meridians
at the year-end Mansion Exam,
no one will be qualified
to compete with Qi Yue
from House B for the top place.
Then we will surely be demoted
to House B.
That will directly affect
the entire situation in Zhou.
To prevent this from happening,
you must work harder
and put in more effort
than those from House B.
Alright, today is the day
the Jade Waterfall opens.
Let's go there for cultivation.
- Yes.
- Yes.
More training again.
Let's go.
(Jade Waterfall)
This Jade Waterfall is a good place
of the mansion for cultivation.
At its top grows a patch
of Purple Jade Marrow.
The energy from the jade marrow
will enter the body
with the waterfall's flow,
helping to activate the major meridians.
This kind of energy is extremely gentle
and will not harm the meridians.
Even if one reaches the meridian limit,
the meridians can
continue to be activated.
Today, I got two Primal Pattern masters
from the mansion for you.
Don't waste this great opportunity.
Start preparing.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Hurry.
- Let's go.
Qiushui, what is this for?
For drawing
the Gathering Primal Pattern.
After entering
the Jade Waterfall with it,
one can absorb the energy
of the jade marrow faster.
Youwei, come with me.
Youwei.
Your Highness, we still need to queue
for drawing Gathering Primal Pattern.
Let's go back.
Judging by the length of the line,
it'll probably take a long time
until it's our turn.
Why don't we try
this Jade Waterfall first?
Your Highness.
Your Highness, are you alright?
Yes, I'm fine.
(This is the energy of the jade marrow.)
(The effect is really strong.)
(It's just too diluted.)
(No wonder drawing
Gathering Primal Pattern is needed.)
(But my Spirit is at the early stage
of the Void Stage.)
(I should be able to sense the energy
of the jade marrow more clearly.)
Youwei!
Qiushui, why did you come out?
The line is so long.
Who knows when it will be my turn?
His Highness got into the water?
His Highness was curious
about the Jade Waterfall,
so he went into it to experience it.
Then, he just sat there and didn't move.
The impact force
of the Jade Waterfall is very strong.
The first time I went into the water,
I couldn't bear it
for even a dozen of minutes.
Without the Gathering Primal Pattern,
he can bear it for even less time.
How is that possible?
It's already been 15 minutes.
Is His Highness still okay?
I've never seen anyone in the water
for this long on the first try.
I'm going to get the master over.
Your Highness.
(This method is not bad.)
(It's just quite draining.)
(With the Gathering Primal Pattern,)
(the effect would be even better.)
Your Highness, are you okay?
I'm alright.
Truly impressive.
Staying in the Jade Waterfall
for 15 minutes on your first try.
Youwei, come with me to see the master.
Go and return early.
The time for cultivating
at the Jade Waterfall is limited.
Your Highness, where are you taking me?
To meet my senior.
Senior?
I'll introduce you two later.
Wait here for a moment.
Why is His Highness being so secretive?
(That is His Highness's senior?)
(So beautiful.)
Yaoyao.
Embedding Primal Patterns
into a landscape painting.
So amazing.
Your Highness and his senior.
So close.
They must have known
each other for a long time.
You're not strong enough
to observe this grade
of Primal Patterns.
I'm actually feeling a bit dizzy.
Oh, right, Yaoyao,
do you know
the Gathering Primal Pattern?
A very common
first-grade Primal Pattern.
Of course I know.
Yaoyao, could you help me draw it?
It took me lots of effort
to acquire this flower wine.
Take off your shirt.
What?
This Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern
is considered top-notch
among the first-grade ones.
But you'll have to suffer a bit
during the drawing.
(Such a strange Primal Pattern.)
(It can produce both burning heat
and icy coldness simultaneously.)
You can talk
to distract yourself,
so it won't be that uncomfortable.
Yaoyao, what's the highest grade
of Primal Pattern you can draw?
Currently, only third-grade.
If I'm well-prepared,
I can try a fourth-grade one as well.
Third-grade Primal Pattern!
It could rival a master
of the Heaven Realm.
If it's fourth-grade Primal Pattern,
even my father
would have to be cautious.
Master even asked me to protect you.
Maybe it's you who protect me.
Grandpa Hei wasn't counting
on the current you to protect me.
He was looking forward to your future.
That's it.
Such a strong suction force.
The gathering effect
of the Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern
far surpasses that of the Spirit.
Oh, right, Yaoyao,
I have a friend.
Could you also draw one for her?
No way.
Yaoyao, she is a girl.
You must be bored being
in the palace every day.
Just consider it as making a new friend.
Alright then.
I'll only help this one.
Youwei, come.
I'm coming.
Youwei, hurry up.
I I won't be a disturbance
to you, will I?
Of course not. This is my senior.
Hello.
Such a beautiful young lady.
She just helped me draw
the Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern.
I've asked her to draw one for you too.
Drawing a Primal Pattern?
Right, what's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Let's go to my place.
Why are you coming in?
Right, it's none of my business.
Your name is Su Youwei, right?
What should I call you?
I am Yaoyao.
Then I'll call you Yaoyao from now on.
Then take off your shirt.
What a charming girl.
Don't be afraid.
It will only hurt a little.
Seems it's almost done.
Don't move.
What's wrong, Yaoyao?
Yaoyao.
Strange. The gathering effect
of this pattern on you
is even better than on Zhou Yuan.
(Inside her, there seems
to be a sense of yin and yang.)
(Could she have
the legendary Yin-Yang constitution?)
Is it all right now?
Let's go to the Jade Waterfall
to test its effect.
Yaoyao, you're not busy anyway.
Why not come with us
to the Jade Waterfall to relax?
Okay.
When you can't hold on any longer,
just think that the Jade Waterfall
opens only once every two days.
Each time, we can
only use it for six hours.
The waiting time and rest time
need to be deducted.
So how much time can you
really use for cultivation?
Maybe if you hold on
for one more minute,
you could get one more chance
to activate your meridians.
Not bad.
This group can hold on for 15 minutes.
The next group
has had enough rest, right?
- Ready to get into it.
- Yes.
Just 15 minutes
and you think it's not bad?
That would be too much
of a waste of the Jade Waterfall.
Head Xu,
it's not yet time
for House B to practice.
And you guys from Houses C and D.
Why have you come so early?
We have come together
because everyone feels
that the current time allocation
is very unfair.
What do you mean?
The Jade Waterfall can only be used
for 16 hours every two days.
Previously, you were the top,
so we could accept that you used it
during the best six hours of the day.
But now, you are far worse than before
and can no longer occupy
such a long time.
The usage time
for the Jade Waterfall was set long ago.
It can't be changed
just because you want to.
This is the most important place
for cultivation in the Zhou Mansion.
Naturally,
its efficacy must be maximized.
Since House A
is no longer considered the top one,
some of your time
should be allocated to us.
Why should you occupy so much time?
Some of it should be allocated to us.
You
The time allocation
of the Jade Waterfall
was set by the king.
If you have objections, go to the king.
Matters of the Zhou Mansion
have always been solved by the mansion.
Don't use the king as an excuse.
Xu Hong.
The power
is so strong.
A master of the Heaven Realm
is so powerful.
The master's third-grade
Chiyang energy has grown stronger.
Want to fight? I am not afraid of you.
Third-grade primal energy,
Yinshuang energy.
