=Episode 9=
I did feel the pressure
from the Grand Soul Master.
However, it wasn't Tai Tan.
It was someone else.
I was inept.
Your Holiness, please give me
another chance.
I'll surely bring more men.
I'll destroy the Blacksmiths Guild
and the Tribe of Strength.
I'll force them to submit to us.
You fool.
They're of no importance.
What I want are the blacksmiths.
I want people who can forge weapons
for the Martial Soul Hall.
Do you understand?
I do.
I understand.
I'll get to it immediately.
I surely won't disappoint you.
Guys, place your bets.
Come, place your bets.
Place your bets.
I placed my bet on them, and they lost.
Place your bets.
This time, we only have one bet.
Will King Asura be able
to win the next 100 Match?
You don't say? Of course he will.
All the Soul Masters
who participated in this match
are selected by the Netherworld King.
All of them are Great Soul Master
and law enforcers.
The law enforcers?
So, they can use soul skills?
That's right.
Wait.
What are you doing?
I changed my mind.
Don't do that.
Place. No. You already placed.
You can't change your bet.
That dagger has been with me
for a long time.
You mustn't disappoint me now.
San,
I'll stop waiting for you
if you don't look for me now.
Wu?
San,
just give up.
I want you to stay alive.
I don't want you to die.
Wu!
San, just give up.
I don't want you to die.
I want you to stay alive.
I don't want you to die.
San,
I want you to stay alive.
I don't want you to die.
San,
just give up.
(An illusion soul skill, huh?)
(I appreciate your effort, Netherworld King.)
Have you seen through the illusion?
- King Asura!
- King Asura!
- King Asura!
- King Asura!
- King Asura!
- King Asura!
Congratulations, young King Asura.
Thank you for your
meticulous arrangement.
But I'm not the only person
you should congratulate.
There's the
Emissary of Hell as well.
This is my answer.
Since you're not willing to join us,
I shall not bother you any longer.
A secret
requires another secret in exchange.
The air in Netherworld City is
filled with a slow-acting toxin.
It can agitate individuals.
If one keeps consuming
the toxic Netherworld Shot,
it's the same as drinking poison
to quench one's thirst.
Could it be
This toxin is a slow-acting toxin hidden
within one's bloodstream.
It should be related to Hell's Road.
By using soul power to lure individuals,
it makes them addicted to it.
It's not too late for you.
You can seek treatment in time
if you stop consuming it.
However, if you keep this up,
I'm afraid that you might
no longer be my companion
when we're at Hell's Road.
You might cause trouble for me instead.
This item can suppress the toxicity of
the Netherland Shot to a certain extent.
Take this if you trust me.
I trust you.
Therefore, you should trust me too.
It's because both of us
intend to get out alive.
I'm sincere with you.
However, I don't even know
what you look like or your name.
Expressions can be disguised,
but not masks.
The current version of me
you're seeing right now
is actually more truthful
and dependable.
My name is Tang Yin.
Tang Yin, huh?
I'll remember that.
Remember to stay alive
after tomorrow's 100 Match.
Of course.
I've already completed
the 100 Matches of Hell.
Please unlock the Hell's Road for us.
The Emissary of Hell and I
will take on the challenge together.
It's no wonder the Emissary of Hell
wasn't willing to open
the Hell's Road after
winning 100 matches.
So, he was waiting for you two.
Asura King, Emissary of Hell,
I'm making an exception
by granting you two the title "Demon".
You two are also
the guests of Netherworld City.
You two may enter and exit
Netherworld City at will.
You two are only one rank below me.
No need for that.
I'll definitely check out Hell's Road.
What about you?
Are you willing to become
an esteemed guest of Netherworld City?
Thank you for your kind intention.
However, I still wish to pass this trial
together with the Emissary of Hell.
Once Hell's Road is unlocked,
I won't be able to ensure your survival.
And, thanks to your background,
it's impossible for you two
to become friends.
You two can only become enemies.
In this world,
there are no enemies forever.
Only benefits.
You're actually worried about our lives.
If I'm not mistaken,
Hell's Road
should be the core of Netherworld City.
It provides energy to the place.
You're worried that we might damage
Netherworld City
while we explore Hell's Road, right?
You think you're smart.
Do you think Hell's Road
can be conquered that easily?
There are challenges
for joint trials as such.
It might be even more terrifying.
You don't need to worry about that.
If that's the case,
you two may give it a try.
It's good to have a companion
on Hell's Road.
The killing intent is too strong.
Try to stay sober.
Thank you.
I never expected your soul power
to be good enough
to ward off the corrosion
of Hell's Road.
What's down there?
Can you see it clearly?
It's a giant blood pool.
Judging from the smell,
I think it's Netherland Shot.
Netherland Shot?
That's right.
Based on my prediction,
the soul power of all the people who failed
to conquer the Netherworld City
should be in the blood pool.
Netherworld City
isn't a place where the fallen reside.
It exists to strip power off of them.
This place should've been
eradicated long ago.
This should be
the so-called Hell's Road.
Let's go.
Wait.
Why are you taking off your clothes?
For safety's sake, I think it's safer
if I tie you and me together.
Come.
You can use mine.
I'll lead the way. You can follow me.
Okay.
I hear something.
It's bats.
These bats aren't
attacking us immediately.
It's as if they're up to something.
Such shocking speed and accuracy.
(It's a Domain.)
(How did it appear on him?)
They don't dare to attack us again.
Move forward. Gather them.
Follow me.
(He could adjust his tactics
on the fly.)
(He also has the Talent Domain on him.)
(Tang Yin,)
(what other capabilities
are you hiding from me?)
Let's go.
Asura King is different indeed.
This is merely the beginning.
We're in trouble.
I never expected them to have a leader.
I'll give it a try.
Watch out!
It wants to destroy Hell's Road!
Run!
Tang Yin!
Thank you.
It's capable of regeneration?
Run!
Run!
Darn you!
A Controlling Soul Master like you
is actually this swift?
Seems like you have a soul bone
that enhances your speed.
Bingo.
Let's go.
It's charging its power.
It's going
to unleash a strong move.
We mustn't allow it to finish.
Aim at its weak point.
It should be the three heads.
We have to destroy them
at the same time. Give me a rope.
Take it off. Tie it on your tail.
After that, use it to swing me.
- Try to get as close to it as possible.
- Okay.
Do it!
Purple Divine Light!
Should we take a break?
Both of us have expended
a lot of energy.
According to what I know,
there are three levels to Hell's Road.
And, each level is tougher
than the last.
I suppose
we've conquered the first level.
I suppose your tail
is a result of
an attached soul bone, right?
You come from the golden era
of Martial Soul Hall.
You do live up
to your reputation indeed.
The Haotian Sect
is also filled with talents.
And, although you guys
live in a retreat,
you guys do know quite a lot
about Douluo Continent.
My king, what's wrong?
I don't believe that he can
conquer the next level.
After all, even the mighty Tang Hao
was almost killed by it back then.
The temperature
is getting higher and higher.
It seems like we're getting closer
and closer to the blood pool.
The Talent Domain,
which helps you to maintain maximum
combat strength,
what exactly is it?
(Talent Domain?)
(So, the power I gained after)
(my martial soul
was awakened for the second time,)
(it was actually a Domain?)
Listen.
What was that?
It's a giant snake.
Run!
This is?
The Ten-headed Burning Sun Serpent.
The Ten-headed Burning Sun Serpent
is extremely powerful.
Using it as the soul ring
for my Blue Silver Plant's martial soul
will receive a tremendous boost in power.
Did you read that clearly?
This isn't a soul beast.
Rumor has it that such serpents
are highly venomous.
They have the most potent
fire toxin out of all serpents.
An inner core will form if it goes through
10,000 years of cultivation.
(Ten-Headed Serpent Inner Core)
It's located behind the nine heads.
When the inner core emerges, even
Heaven and Earth lose their brilliance.
If one acquires its inner core,
all serpents will retreat in fear.
Rumor has it that one requires more than
martial strength to obtain it.
They have to be determined
and stay composed
before they can achieve their goal.
It's an amazing serpent.
Why was it only recorded as a myth?
If only I could encounter it.
You don't know
what's good for you at all.
This is a beast of ruin.
If you're lucky enough to encounter it,
I have one piece of advice for you.
Just run.
Its scales are tougher than steel!
Don't move.
Tang Yin!
The Ten-headed Burning Sun Serpent
has a singular head.
I've already destroyed one of them.
Eight heads
are hiding beneath its giant gill.
They'll only surface
when it breathes fire or is enraged.
- We need to launch a joint attack.
- Okay.
Four more left.
Look!
It's going to self-destruct!
Haotian Hammer!
Random Air Hammer Skill!
All
to one!
Tang Yin?
Have we passed the level?
Something's off.
(Proof, Name, Tang San,
Martial Soul, Blue Silver Plant)
(Soul Power, Innate Full Soul Power)
I'm the new part-timer.
Trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Plant?
Innate Full Soul Power?
Who are you trying to kid here?
How dare you forge your proof?
You're pretty daring, aren't you?
Go away. Stop creating trouble for me.
I didn't forge it.
Nuoding Academy doesn't accept people
with Trash Martial Soul.
Leave immediately!
You brat!
Scram!
Let's do it together!
You have no friends, only enemies.
Don't blame me for this.
Only one of us can remain here.
Trust
will become the weapon that kills you.
You arrogant fool.
Trash Martial Souls
will always be trash.
How dare you come to the academy
with a Trash Martial Soul?
You're not even fit
to run our errands.
- Precisely!
- Trash Martial Soul!
You're someone with
a Trash Martial Soul.
What are you unsatisfied with?
How dare you fall for your enemy?
Such foolishness!
How dare you ally yourself with me
when you have a Trash Martial Soul?
Stop!
So, you possess Twin Martial Souls?
(Father said my life would be in danger)
(if other people found out
that I possess Twin Martial Souls.)
(What should I do?)
(Should I silence him?)
I don't know what you're talking about.
I once investigated 647 individuals
with Blue Silver Plant
as their Martial Soul.
Only less than 3% of them
have soul power.
And, all 3% of them
have a Level One soul power.
But you? You have
a Level Ten Innate Full Soul Power.
The size of one's innate soul power
corresponds to the quality
of one's soul power.
Therefore, I'm sure
that you possess
another powerful martial soul
besides the Blue Silver Plant.
There's an exception for everything.
Why can't I be an exception?
For the past century,
there were only three individuals
with Twin Martial Souls.
There were 19 individuals
with Innate Full Soul Power.
All of them possess
immense Martial Souls.
14 of them inherited their Martial Soul
from their families.
Five of them had Mutated Martial Soul.
However, your Blue Silver Plant
isn't one of them.
Therefore, I'm sure
that my judgment is correct.
Mutated Martial Soul?
What is that?
You still have a lot to learn.
I can't explain it to you
in a short period.
However, I need to tell you this.
Blue Silver Plant isn't
a useless Martial Soul.
People with Twin Martial Souls are rare.
You have to keep this secret well.
If not, your life
will be in danger in the future.
You can report for duty now.
You're the first person
who said that Blue Silver Plant
wasn't a Trash Martial Soul.
Please take me as your disciple.
However, this is the second time
you wish to harm someone
who bears no ill will toward you.
You're too defensive.
Shouldn't I take the preemptive strike
when there's potential danger?
If you see everyone
as your enemy,
you will be lonely
for the rest of your life.
Remember,
never succumb to your evil thoughts.
If not, it shall hold you hostage.
Hu Liena! Wake up!
Hu Liena!
Here you go.
Why should I trust you?
What if it's poisoned?
As friends, we need
to be honest with each other.
As foes, we should
show each other no mercy.
Look.
Why did you come here?
Because my family needs money urgently.
I need to repay my family's debt
and help my sister to seek treatment.
If only she could run around healthily
like you.
If so, you have
to try your best to stay here
for her sake.
Watch your back!
No!
No!
Hu Liena, we're affected
by the serpent's toxin.
Sober up.
Mi!
Sober up!
Mi!
As friends, we need
to be honest with each other.
As foes, we should
show each other no mercy.
Trust will become
the weapon that kills you.
I can't hang in there anymore.
Tang Yin,
I'll entrust my life to you.
You may choose my fate.
I owe you my life
if you can help me to escape!
Hurry! Do it!
(You still can't bear to kill me, huh?)
(What are you hesitating about?)
(She's your enemy. Kill her!)
(She's the beloved disciple
of Bi Bi Dong.)
(Kill her now, and you'll have
one less opponent in the future!)
(Remember,)
(never succumb to your evil thoughts.)

Netherworld City,
go to hell.
(Longxing City, Xingluo)
Come and take a look.
Dream-Building Romance Camp.
Learn how to get a spouse now.
Here.
Take a look.
(Longxing City)
Take a look.
Waiter,
regarding that incident,
are there still no clues about it?
All the soul masters who vanished
were experts too.
It's quite sinister, don't you think?
How can they investigate the case?
If so, can we still come out
for a drink at night?
Yeah.
About that, I'm not sure about that either.
Waiter.
What should we do in the future?
Sir.
Let me ask you something.
How do I reach this place?
Dream-Building Romance Camp?
This training camp
only serves to dupe young girls.
People thought
that they've found true love.
In reality, it's a scam.
A scam?
Love is precious, you know?
How could they do this?
All the scammers are soul masters
that are hard to deal with.
People call them
The Three Wandering Swordsmen.
I heard that they're related
to the Martial Soul Hall.
What's the name
of the worst crook again?
His name is Bu Le.
What a bad egg.
Bu Le?
That sounds familiar.
Who are you?
Are The Three Wandering Swordsmen here?
Did you bring the money?
You mean, the lesson fee?
How dare you cheat me of my money?
