=Episode 15=
It's a 10,000-year soul ring.
Wu, your transformation is successful.
But it was too risky this time.
Sorry for making both of you worried.
We were not the only ones.
Tang San was pretty worried too.
The Blue Silver Plants
around us were so frantic
that they were about
to spring out of the ground.
But Tang San seems to be quite capable.
He could actually help you
through the Blue Silver Bracelet.
I
can admire him a little for a while.
It's all thanks to him.
Otherwise,
I would remain trapped in the nightmare,
unable to break free.
You clearly underwent the trial yourself
for the soul ring conversion.
You can't succeed by relying on others.
Daming appears to be stubborn
but he's soft on the inside.
What a miserable scream.
What happened?
Those scums from the Martial Soul Hall
actually triggered a beast horde.
I'm sure Xingdou Forest is now
in complete chaos.
But
the beast horde made
the Martial Soul Hall hesitate.
They never appeared again after that.
No, they were here for me.
They will find a chance to return.
Xingdou Forest cannot afford
to experience another beast horde.
I need to find a way.
Your Highnesses.
That's all for today's training.
Get some proper rest.
Zhuqing.
If San and the rest are here,
San would be in charge of controlling,
Fatty and I on attack,
Ao and Rongrong as support.
Two Soul Saints would mean nothing.
I'd be fine even
if two more showed up.
Your Highness, you're sure impressive.
You're even looking for help
with your training?
I'm serious about bringing them here.
If the Seven Devils gather,
it will be of great help
to Xingluo's future.
I have it all planned.
When we meet again,
I'll use my position as the Crown Prince
to invite them officially.
I will give them the best
Let's not think
about something too far in the future.
We can think about the future
after we honor our promise
to His Majesty.
Zhuqing,
is there anything wrong?
Report!
Your Highness.
This is our training ground.
Who says you can barge in?
Your Highness,
someone intrude into the palace.
I really have no other way.
You can report this
to the Commander of the Imperial Guard.
Why did you come here?
But that person insisted
that he is a close friend
of Your Highnesses.
So we dare not act recklessly.
So we could only
Let me go!
Release me!
Boss Dai!
Zhuqing!
Help me!
- Fatty?
- Fatty?
Satisfying.
Absolutely satisfying.
This is the best meal I've had
since leaving the academy.
It looks like Mr. Flander can't afford
to feed you
and throw you out.
The dean may be stingy.
But not to the point
where he won't let you eat.
I bet it's mostly
because Fatty was sloppy in his training
and a bad influence on the juniors.
So Ms. Erlong
just tossed him out, right?
Am I, Ma Hongjun,
the mighty Evil Phoenix,
not allowed to travel the continent,
do some good deeds,
and care for the world?
Of course, you can.
But how come a chivalrous hero
like you arrived here all tied up?
Covered in dirt.
Looking completely helpless.
Stop completing each other's sentences.
If I weren't afraid of ruining
the Xingluo royal family's reputation,
I would have beaten those guards
into a pulp.
We have laws in Xingluo.
If you were imprisoned
because of a fight,
Mubai and I can't help you.
I see.
Returning to the royal family
sure has changed you.
I am left to fend for myself.
Fine.
I'll leave.
I can just leave now.
After taking advantage
of Xingluo's free meal,
you can't just leave as you wish.
You have to stay here
and be my attendant for a month
to cover this meal.
To be honest,
I do have some important news
that could be at least worth
a hundred meals.
Have San and Wu returned?
Well, no.
When I left,
there was still no news about them.
Then what kind of important information
do you have?
I risked my life to obtain it.
Can you guess
who has come to Xingluo City?
Who?
Grand Chrysanthemum Master.
Bi Bi Dong's subordinate,
Grand Chrysanthemum Master?
Yes.
How did you find out?
Where is he now?
Well, this is what happened.
During my travels,
I suddenly realized that people from
from Martial Soul Hall
in various cities
were recruiting high-level soul masters.
I felt something was off
so I pretended to respond
to the recruitment
and followed all the way
to Xingluo City.
What are you looking around for?
Your full name?
Ma
Yingjun.
Ma Yingjun.
Ma'am,
didn't the recruitment state
we're here to be a teacher
at Xingluo City's Martial Soul Hall?
Why are there so many soul masters here?
Is there another round of elimination?
Don't pry into matters
that don't concern you.
Write down your name,
martial soul,
and the level of your soul power.
(Ma Yingjun)
(Ma Yingjun with Earth Dragon. 69 Soul Emperor)
Miss,
I have three generations
who are depending on me.
I came all the way here.
I won't be eliminated, right?
Since you're here,
there's naturally something
for you to do.
Enough talking.
Or else
you wouldn't know when you're dead.
Turn this way.
From now on,
you're a part of the Martial Soul Hall
in Xingluo City.
Next, you all need to prepare
for the intensive training.
I don't care where you're from
or why you're here.
All you need to remember is
to serve Her Holiness to the death.
This way, please.
(Grand Chrysanthemum Master?)
(Why is he here?)
I ate something bad
that upset my stomach.
I need to go to the toilet.
Thanks.
Why the sudden turn of events?
It's not sudden.
Her Holiness has waited many years
for this day to come.
Distribute the armors I brought.
Act according
to Her Holiness' instructions.
Yes.
Then we
Sir.
I I'm here to serve tea.
You're very skilled.
I have learned some manners
from the pig Pig-headed
I mean the esteemed masters.
Yes.
He's considered
an appropriately trained servant.
Raise your head.
You
Forgive me, sir.
I was bullied as a child
and got hurt in my face.
Thankfully the Martial Soul Hall
didn't mind my humble background
and took me in.
Get out.
Yes, of course.
Grand Chrysanthemum Master
sent so much armors.
They must be up to no good.
You burned all those armors?
What do you say?
Is this information worth 100 meals?
Yes.
It's more than worth it.
Fatty,
this information is very important.
I didn't expect after so long,
you've made such great progress.
You even know
how to analyze problems yourself now.
Well, of course.
Do you think
I've been traveling around aimlessly
these past few months?
There were soul masters disappearing
for no reason before.
Now, the Martial Soul Hall
is recruiting soldiers.
Could these two things
be related?
It's still uncertain for now.
But the Martial Soul Hall
is secretly training soul masters here.
So there's something wrong.
No, that's not right.
They're not training
ordinary soul masters,
but an army of soul masters.
Fatty,
you have to come with me.
Why?
This matter is still up in the air.
So we need to investigate further.
After it gets dark,
take us to the Martial Soul Hall.
Once everything is clear,
we'll report it to Father.
I knew it.
There's no free lunch
at the Xingluo royal family.
Here, enjoy your food.
Have some more.
Enjoy it.
I want chicken.
Here you go.
This too.
You can all leave now.
Why did you suddenly summon
the heads of the Martial Soul Hall
from all cities to Martial Soul City?
You sure are well-informed.
Answer me.
Don't forget your place.
It is not your place to meddle
in what I want to do.
You're gathering soul masters all over
and urgently summoning
the leaders of each hall.
This will definitely attract attention.
You cannot underestimate
Tiandou and Xingluo's strength.
I need to know your plan.
What you need to do is stay
within the Tiandou royal family,
and cooperate when I require it.
The rest is not for you to question.
The Emperor of Tiandou
won't last much longer.
Whatever it is you plan to do,
you can wait.
Not bad.
Your soul power has increased.
But that doesn't mean
you can challenge me.
Don't forget why
I sent you to infiltrate
the Tiandou royal family.
Without my summon,
do not show up here.
(Could this small village used to be)
(the greatest sect in the world?)
Old fella, why are you here
and why are you wearing a mask?
Old fella?
Are you talking to me?
All right, then.
You can call me whatever you want.
Kid,
can you tell me
the way to the Haotian Sect?
I've never heard of it.
This can't be.
This map is accurate.
Where did you get this map?
Do you recognize this map?
Run for it! Quick, run!
Hurry up, run!
Kid,
return the map to me.
I'll return it to you if you come here.
If you don't return it to me,
this old fella is going to spank you.
- Come on.
- We're waiting.
- Come up here.
- Come and hit me.
Come and spank me.
- Come up here.
- Come and spank me.
Come on!
I see. You dare to make fun of me.
Come on, let's go.
Get someone here.
With them keeping watch
across Xingdou Forest,
you will receive a warning from them
when a large number of soul masters
from the Martial Soul Hall come again.
When that happens,
evacuate the soul beasts
to avoid triggering
a larger beast horde.
After arranging this plan,
are you going to leave again?
I
Wu
She should leave anyway.
She's always talking about Tang San,
thinking about him day and night.
Leaving here means
she can reunite with him.
Besides, Wu hasn't reached
the six-ring Mature Phase yet.
Leaving this chaotic Xingdou Forest
and staying out of trouble
might not be a bad idea.
Erming,
you've just said
that Xingdou Forest is in chaos now.
How can I leave?
Really?
You're not leaving anymore?
The Martial Soul Hall is here
because of me.
I'm also responsible
for the beast horde.
I would never leave
when Xingdou Forest
is in such chaos.
Then what do you plan to do?
I need to visit the peripheral area
and mixed zone first
before figuring out what to do next.
Wu,
I'll go with you.
You cannot.
Don't forget
you're a Hectomillennium Fierce Beast.
One roar from you,
the soul beasts
will be trembling with fear.
Then I won't be able
to get any information.
My throat is so completely hoarse
that I can't even roar.
Just bring me with you.
Erming,
you cannot cough
if your throat is hoarse.
Both of you can rest assured.
I've advanced to Soul King.
I'm quite strong now.
Wu,
remember to have the skylark
to deliver a message
if you're in danger.
Please be extremely careful.
This way. Come this way.
Tang Long,
over here.
He's right here.
All right.
You can go now.
(Tang Long, Haotian Sect Disciple)
Where did you get
this thing?
You took my map.
Shouldn't you introduce yourself
before asking me anything?
I don't want to hurt you.
I'll be keeping this map.
You can leave.
We don't welcome outsiders here.
I'm not an outsider.
I only want to go home.
Choosing the hard way, huh?
Then don't blame me for being rude.
Does this help
to prove it?
(Tang Tian, Haotian Sect Disciple)
Which family are you from?
Take off your mask
and let me see you clearly.
My Aunt is Tang Yuehua.
She asks me to come home.
(Tang Yu, Disciple)
You're
You're Tang San?
After all this, it turns out to be you.
Second Aunt couldn't stop praising you
when she came back.
She said you're even stronger than Long.
Enough chattering.
You can return to the sect.
But if you're truly the son of Tang Hao,
the sinner,
you must be shackled.
Follow me.
Keep up!
Long doesn't seem
to like Tang San.
Of course.
Think about it.
Second Aunt has been praising Long
since he was a kid.
Now, here comes Tang San,
who excels in everything.
If I were him,
I wouldn't be happy either.
Can we still catch up with them?
We have to catch up either way.
If we don't,
Long will surely lecture us.
We better hurry.
(This Haotian Sect disciple's footwork)
(is indeed the same as Father's.)
(Haotian Sect)
Tang Yu!
Tang Tian!
Are you all right, Tang Yu?
What about you, Tang Tian?
I'm all right, Long.
Where's Tang San?
Good lad.
I will remember
this debt of gratitude.
Big Brother,
can you be gentler
with your punch next time?
It's pretty painful.
You're not wrong for addressing me that.
My name is Tang Long.
I'm the oldest in our generation.
They are Tang Tian and Tang Yu.
You have saved their lives this time.
I'm really grateful for your help.
We're family.
There's no need to thank me.
Aunt said you have Twin Martial Souls.
Was that your main martial soul,
the Blue Silver Plant?
Second Aunt spoke so highly of you.
I had my doubts at first.
Now,
I'm really convinced.
Let's go.
The sect is right up there.
Come on.
(Father,)
(I'm home.)
This must be your first home.
Hurry,
take out our sect's token,
and open the door.
Token?
What token?
Only direct disciples of our sect
are allowed to enter with the token.
The outer disciples
are all in the village
at the foot of the mountain.
(The token of a direct disciple?)
(Could it be)
Let's go.
This is the front courtyard.
It's only used
when the sect master calls
for an assembly.
The back courtyard is even bigger.
That's where we train.
Our sect values practical combat.
Under the supervision of the Elders,
the disciples undergo combat training
to determine rankings
based on strength.
Since you're very skilled,
how about a spar
with the top disciple?
I will spar with Big Brother
another day.
The top disciple
is Tang Hu.
I've lost to him several times
for the top rank.
You must be careful of him.
In the sect,
you cannot hold back.
Thank you for the advice, Big Brother.
Let's go report to the Chief.
He'll be very surprised to see you.
Tang Tian.
Tang Yu.
Tell Fourth Uncle
about the Iron Cable Bridge.
Don't delay this matter.
- All right.
- All right.
This way, please.
Let's go.
Please head inside.
Thank you very much.
Aunt.
San.
(Tang Xiao, Head of Haotian Sect)
You're Tang San?
I, Tang San,
greet the Chief.
Brother!
Under such immense soul power pressure
from me,
you remain completely unharmed.
San, what are you doing?
It's my obligation as a son
to repay my father's debt.
I'm willing to bear the responsibility
on my father's behalf.
Are you capable of bearing it?
I don't know if I can bear it.
But I'm willing to do my best
to shoulder the responsibilities
my father owed to the sect,
hoping to make amends
for the harm he caused.
Get up.
How could you
let a child carry your responsibilities?
How long are you going
to keep running away,
at fifty years old?
Chief,
Father isn't running.
He just felt
he could no longer face the sect,
which is why he sent me back
to return to our roots
and submit to the sect's decisions.
Return to the roots.
That's easier said than done.
The elders of the clan
can't forgive your father,
nor will they accept you.
Your aunt and I will do our best
to make it happen.
But the outcome
may not be as we wish.
Father asked me to bring these back.
He said
this is the only thing
he can do for the sect.
Tang Hao
Tang Hao, he
Brother,
Second Brother forcibly removed
his soul bones
from his body.
(I owe the sect these two soul bones.)
(I have failed the Haotian Sect.)
(Please return them on my behalf.)
Father,
why don't you go see Uncle yourself?
I want to spend my remaining years
with your mother.
Father returned the soul bones
to the sect,
hoping that it would calm
some anger toward him.
It's also a closure for him
after fulfilling the responsibilities
he left undone.
So Chief
After this,
you can address me as your Uncle.
Uncle.
How is
your father now?
When Father severed his limbs,
he forced the stagnated blood
into the limbs,
temporarily freeing himself
from the torment of his old injuries.
Now, he and my mother
are recovering slowly
at the Ice Fire Mouth Spring.
Uncle, don't worry.
Your mother?
(After Mother passed away,)
(she transformed
into the Blue Silver Plant.)
(Father stays by her side every day,)
(planning to live out
the rest of his life with her.)
Perhaps,
this is the best end for him.
San?
Is that what your father calls you?
Actually, your father only did
what any father or husband
would do.
So
no matter what others say in the future,
I don't want this
to become your burden.
Doing your best for the sect
is what you must do.
It's not to repay what your father owes.
It's
because you are a part of the sect.
Uncle.
Yuehua,
tomorrow we'll hold the ceremony
for San to formally rejoin the sect.
You will handle the arrangement.
Do we need
to inform the elders about this?
After all
Why not
just be upfront about it?
San, remember this.
In the Haotian Sect,
only power gives you the right to speak.
If you want to earn their approval,
you must prove it to them
with your power.
I have two words for you.
Be firm.
Aunt, you wanted to see me at this hour.
Is it because you have
something to tell me?
San,
do you see that?
What are those?
The Haotian Sect disciples
who died at the hands
of the Martial Soul Hall.
The Haotian Sect,
once the leader of the Upper Three Sects
is now in such a dire state
after facing the Martial Soul Hall.
It's even worse for the smaller sects
on the continent now.
At that time,
the Martial Soul Hall pressured
the Haotian Sect,
threatening the sect's survival.
That's why we had no choice
but to cut ties with your father.
The decline of the Haotian Sect
also began at that very moment.
San,
do you know
about the Four Single Attribute Tribes?
Father told me
they are divided into Strength,
Defense, Agility, and Destruction.
When the Martial Soul Hall
couldn't find the Haotian Sect,
they began to harass the four tribes.
In the beginning,
the disciples of the Haotian Sect
went to provide support.
But after the former Supreme Pontiff,
Qian Xun Ji died
and Bi Bi Dong took over,
their methods became even more ruthless.
We were forced
to withdraw from the world
and preserve our strength.
After that,
the Four Single Attribute Tribes
gradually dispersed
without the protection
of the Haotian Sect.
For all these years,
Father has felt deeply guilty
toward the Four Single Attribute Tribes.
If there's a chance,
I'd like to reunite the four tribes.
But this time,
I won't abandon them.
Also
Other than returning to the clan,
did Second Brother ask you
to do something else?
Father hopes that I can
Pay respect to your grandfather
on my behalf
and also send my regards to your uncle.
I also want
to give the Haotian Sect an answer
on behalf of Father,
to fulfill those responsibilities
he couldn't complete.
Back then,
your grandfather was seriously ill.
After being overwhelmed by the shock,
he passed away.
Apart from that,
we've lost many disciples.
The elders blame
every of this incident
on your father.
So if you want to pay respects
to your grandfather on his behalf,
it won't be an easy task.
My mother may be a soul beast.
But Father cherishes us.
The fault is not his.
It's all the Martial Soul Hall's fault.
But it doesn't matter what you think.
What matters is what the elders think.
The Haotian Sect has split
into two factions.
The faction led by your uncle believes
that the past mistake
was not your father's fault.
Everything was because
of the Martial Soul Hall's tyranny.
They've lost Qian Xun Ji.
You've lost your mother.
But the other faction
is led by several elders.
They believe
your father abandoned the sect,
which led to the sect's crisis.
The son of the Seventh Elder
is buried in this graveyard.
Aunt, don't worry.
I know my return to the clan
will face a lot of opposition.
But
I will do my best tomorrow.
San,
no matter what your uncle says,
I hope you will act
within your abilities.
Put yourself first
and don't force anything.
No matter what I face tomorrow,
I will prove to them
that I will become a strong person.
I will have the power to avenge
my mother, my loved ones, and my sect.
I will help the sect regain
its former glory.
(Xiao Wu,)
(today I finally realized
the responsibility I bear.)
(Mother didn't have the chance)
(to return to the sect with Father.)
(I hope that one day,)
(you can accompany me back.)
(Martial Soul Hall, Xingluo City)
I set fire to the warehouse
in the back courtyard
where they store the armors.
There's the front courtyard
where they train soul masters.
Something is definitely off there too.
We should go in and investigate.
Go to the entrance and act as bait
to draw away the guards' attention.
That's a great idea.
Boss Dai,
you can go and lure them.
Zhuqing,
let's go.
- You go.
- You go.
Me?
What are you doing here?
Good evening, sirs.
I came to find my man.
Are you blind?
This is the Martial Soul Hall.
Your man is not here.
My man is also a soul master.
He was recruited
by the Martial Soul Hall.
I asked a lot of people on my way here.
They all said it's here.
If you don't believe me,
I show it to you.
(Recruitment Notice:Gathering Heroes
to a Prosperous Future)
It's a flyer.
The Martial Soul Hall's flyer.
See this flyer?
The one you're looking for isn't here.
Leave now!
You pushed me!
You're too much!
I'm my man's
darling little princess.
At home, he treats me like
I'm the most precious thing.
He won't even lift a finger
against me.
You actually dare to push me.
This is unforgivable!
Get your hands off me!
My life is too miserable.
Stop right there!

=The Land of Warriors=
(Adapted from
Tangjia Sanshao's novel "Soul Land")
=Episode 15=
It's a 10,000-year soul ring.
Wu, your transformation is successful.
But it was too risky this time.
Sorry for making both of you worried.
We were not the only ones.
Tang San was pretty worried too.
The Blue Silver Plants
around us were so frantic
that they were about
to spring out of the ground.
But Tang San seems to be quite capable.
He could actually help you
through the Blue Silver Bracelet.
I
can admire him a little for a while.
It's all thanks to him.
Otherwise,
I would remain trapped in the nightmare,
unable to break free.
You clearly underwent the trial yourself
for the soul ring conversion.
You can't succeed by relying on others.
Daming appears to be stubborn
but he's soft on the inside.
What a miserable scream.
What happened?
Those scums from the Martial Soul Hall
actually triggered a beast horde.
I'm sure Xingdou Forest is now
in complete chaos.
But
the beast horde made
the Martial Soul Hall hesitate.
They never appeared again after that.
No, they were here for me.
They will find a chance to return.
Xingdou Forest cannot afford
to experience another beast horde.
I need to find a way.
Your Highnesses.
That's all for today's training.
Get some proper rest.
Zhuqing.
If San and the rest are here,
San would be in charge of controlling,
Fatty and I on attack,
Ao and Rongrong as support.
Two Soul Saints would mean nothing.
I'd be fine even
if two more showed up.
Your Highness, you're sure impressive.
You're even looking for help
with your training?
I'm serious about bringing them here.
If the Seven Devils gather,
it will be of great help
to Xingluo's future.
I have it all planned.
When we meet again,
I'll use my position as the Crown Prince
to invite them officially.
I will give them the best
Let's not think
about something too far in the future.
We can think about the future
after we honor our promise
to His Majesty.
Zhuqing,
is there anything wrong?
Report!
Your Highness.
This is our training ground.
Who says you can barge in?
Your Highness,
someone intrude into the palace.
I really have no other way.
You can report this
to the Commander of the Imperial Guard.
Why did you come here?
But that person insisted
that he is a close friend
of Your Highnesses.
So we dare not act recklessly.
So we could only
Let me go!
Release me!
Boss Dai!
Zhuqing!
Help me!
- Fatty?
- Fatty?
Satisfying.
Absolutely satisfying.
This is the best meal I've had
since leaving the academy.
It looks like Mr. Flander can't afford
to feed you
and throw you out.
The dean may be stingy.
But not to the point
where he won't let you eat.
I bet it's mostly
because Fatty was sloppy in his training
and a bad influence on the juniors.
So Ms. Erlong
just tossed him out, right?
Am I, Ma Hongjun,
the mighty Evil Phoenix,
not allowed to travel the continent,
do some good deeds,
and care for the world?
Of course, you can.
But how come a chivalrous hero
like you arrived here all tied up?
Covered in dirt.
Looking completely helpless.
Stop completing each other's sentences.
If I weren't afraid of ruining
the Xingluo royal family's reputation,
I would have beaten those guards
into a pulp.
We have laws in Xingluo.
If you were imprisoned
because of a fight,
Mubai and I can't help you.
I see.
Returning to the royal family
sure has changed you.
I am left to fend for myself.
Fine.
I'll leave.
I can just leave now.
After taking advantage
of Xingluo's free meal,
you can't just leave as you wish.
You have to stay here
and be my attendant for a month
to cover this meal.
To be honest,
I do have some important news
that could be at least worth
a hundred meals.
Have San and Wu returned?
Well, no.
When I left,
there was still no news about them.
Then what kind of important information
do you have?
I risked my life to obtain it.
Can you guess
who has come to Xingluo City?
Who?
Grand Chrysanthemum Master.
Bi Bi Dong's subordinate,
Grand Chrysanthemum Master?
Yes.
How did you find out?
Where is he now?
Well, this is what happened.
During my travels,
I suddenly realized that people from
from Martial Soul Hall
in various cities
were recruiting high-level soul masters.
I felt something was off
so I pretended to respond
to the recruitment
and followed all the way
to Xingluo City.
What are you looking around for?
Your full name?
Ma
Yingjun.
Ma Yingjun.
Ma'am,
didn't the recruitment state
we're here to be a teacher
at Xingluo City's Martial Soul Hall?
Why are there so many soul masters here?
Is there another round of elimination?
Don't pry into matters
that don't concern you.
Write down your name,
martial soul,
and the level of your soul power.
(Ma Yingjun)
(Ma Yingjun with Earth Dragon. 69 Soul Emperor)
Miss,
I have three generations
who are depending on me.
I came all the way here.
I won't be eliminated, right?
Since you're here,
there's naturally something
for you to do.
Enough talking.
Or else
you wouldn't know when you're dead.
Turn this way.
From now on,
you're a part of the Martial Soul Hall
in Xingluo City.
Next, you all need to prepare
for the intensive training.
I don't care where you're from
or why you're here.
All you need to remember is
to serve Her Holiness to the death.
This way, please.
(Grand Chrysanthemum Master?)
(Why is he here?)
I ate something bad
that upset my stomach.
I need to go to the toilet.
Thanks.
Why the sudden turn of events?
It's not sudden.
Her Holiness has waited many years
for this day to come.
Distribute the armors I brought.
Act according
to Her Holiness' instructions.
Yes.
Then we
Sir.
I I'm here to serve tea.
You're very skilled.
I have learned some manners
from the pig Pig-headed
I mean the esteemed masters.
Yes.
He's considered
an appropriately trained servant.
Raise your head.
You
Forgive me, sir.
I was bullied as a child
and got hurt in my face.
Thankfully the Martial Soul Hall
didn't mind my humble background
and took me in.
Get out.
Yes, of course.
Grand Chrysanthemum Master
sent so much armors.
They must be up to no good.
You burned all those armors?
What do you say?
Is this information worth 100 meals?
Yes.
It's more than worth it.
Fatty,
this information is very important.
I didn't expect after so long,
you've made such great progress.
You even know
how to analyze problems yourself now.
Well, of course.
Do you think
I've been traveling around aimlessly
these past few months?
There were soul masters disappearing
for no reason before.
Now, the Martial Soul Hall
is recruiting soldiers.
Could these two things
be related?
It's still uncertain for now.
But the Martial Soul Hall
is secretly training soul masters here.
So there's something wrong.
No, that's not right.
They're not training
ordinary soul masters,
but an army of soul masters.
Fatty,
you have to come with me.
Why?
This matter is still up in the air.
So we need to investigate further.
After it gets dark,
take us to the Martial Soul Hall.
Once everything is clear,
we'll report it to Father.
I knew it.
There's no free lunch
at the Xingluo royal family.
Here, enjoy your food.
Have some more.
Enjoy it.
I want chicken.
Here you go.
This too.
You can all leave now.
Why did you suddenly summon
the heads of the Martial Soul Hall
from all cities to Martial Soul City?
You sure are well-informed.
Answer me.
Don't forget your place.
It is not your place to meddle
in what I want to do.
You're gathering soul masters all over
and urgently summoning
the leaders of each hall.
This will definitely attract attention.
You cannot underestimate
Tiandou and Xingluo's strength.
I need to know your plan.
What you need to do is stay
within the Tiandou royal family,
and cooperate when I require it.
The rest is not for you to question.
The Emperor of Tiandou
won't last much longer.
Whatever it is you plan to do,
you can wait.
Not bad.
Your soul power has increased.
But that doesn't mean
you can challenge me.
Don't forget why
I sent you to infiltrate
the Tiandou royal family.
Without my summon,
do not show up here.
(Could this small village used to be)
(the greatest sect in the world?)
Old fella, why are you here
and why are you wearing a mask?
Old fella?
Are you talking to me?
All right, then.
You can call me whatever you want.
Kid,
can you tell me
the way to the Haotian Sect?
I've never heard of it.
This can't be.
This map is accurate.
Where did you get this map?
Do you recognize this map?
Run for it! Quick, run!
Hurry up, run!
Kid,
return the map to me.
I'll return it to you if you come here.
If you don't return it to me,
this old fella is going to spank you.
- Come on.
- We're waiting.
- Come up here.
- Come and hit me.
Come and spank me.
- Come up here.
- Come and spank me.
Come on!
I see. You dare to make fun of me.
Come on, let's go.
Get someone here.
With them keeping watch
across Xingdou Forest,
you will receive a warning from them
when a large number of soul masters
from the Martial Soul Hall come again.
When that happens,
evacuate the soul beasts
to avoid triggering
a larger beast horde.
After arranging this plan,
are you going to leave again?
I
Wu
She should leave anyway.
She's always talking about Tang San,
thinking about him day and night.
Leaving here means
she can reunite with him.
Besides, Wu hasn't reached
the six-ring Mature Phase yet.
Leaving this chaotic Xingdou Forest
and staying out of trouble
might not be a bad idea.
Erming,
you've just said
that Xingdou Forest is in chaos now.
How can I leave?
Really?
You're not leaving anymore?
The Martial Soul Hall is here
because of me.
I'm also responsible
for the beast horde.
I would never leave
when Xingdou Forest
is in such chaos.
Then what do you plan to do?
I need to visit the peripheral area
and mixed zone first
before figuring out what to do next.
Wu,
I'll go with you.
You cannot.
Don't forget
you're a Hectomillennium Fierce Beast.
One roar from you,
the soul beasts
will be trembling with fear.
Then I won't be able
to get any information.
My throat is so completely hoarse
that I can't even roar.
Just bring me with you.
Erming,
you cannot cough
if your throat is hoarse.
Both of you can rest assured.
I've advanced to Soul King.
I'm quite strong now.
Wu,
remember to have the skylark
to deliver a message
if you're in danger.
Please be extremely careful.
This way. Come this way.
Tang Long,
over here.
He's right here.
All right.
You can go now.
(Tang Long, Haotian Sect Disciple)
Where did you get
this thing?
You took my map.
Shouldn't you introduce yourself
before asking me anything?
I don't want to hurt you.
I'll be keeping this map.
You can leave.
We don't welcome outsiders here.
I'm not an outsider.
I only want to go home.
Choosing the hard way, huh?
Then don't blame me for being rude.
Does this help
to prove it?
(Tang Tian, Haotian Sect Disciple)
Which family are you from?
Take off your mask
and let me see you clearly.
My Aunt is Tang Yuehua.
She asks me to come home.
(Tang Yu, Disciple)
You're
You're Tang San?
After all this, it turns out to be you.
Second Aunt couldn't stop praising you
when she came back.
She said you're even stronger than Long.
Enough chattering.
You can return to the sect.
But if you're truly the son of Tang Hao,
the sinner,
you must be shackled.
Follow me.
Keep up!
Long doesn't seem
to like Tang San.
Of course.
Think about it.
Second Aunt has been praising Long
since he was a kid.
Now, here comes Tang San,
who excels in everything.
If I were him,
I wouldn't be happy either.
Can we still catch up with them?
We have to catch up either way.
If we don't,
Long will surely lecture us.
We better hurry.
(This Haotian Sect disciple's footwork)
(is indeed the same as Father's.)
(Haotian Sect)
Tang Yu!
Tang Tian!
Are you all right, Tang Yu?
What about you, Tang Tian?
I'm all right, Long.
Where's Tang San?
Good lad.
I will remember
this debt of gratitude.
Big Brother,
can you be gentler
with your punch next time?
It's pretty painful.
You're not wrong for addressing me that.
My name is Tang Long.
I'm the oldest in our generation.
They are Tang Tian and Tang Yu.
You have saved their lives this time.
I'm really grateful for your help.
We're family.
There's no need to thank me.
Aunt said you have Twin Martial Souls.
Was that your main martial soul,
the Blue Silver Plant?
Second Aunt spoke so highly of you.
I had my doubts at first.
Now,
I'm really convinced.
Let's go.
The sect is right up there.
Come on.
(Father,)
(I'm home.)
This must be your first home.
Hurry,
take out our sect's token,
and open the door.
Token?
What token?
Only direct disciples of our sect
are allowed to enter with the token.
The outer disciples
are all in the village
at the foot of the mountain.
(The token of a direct disciple?)
(Could it be)
Let's go.
This is the front courtyard.
It's only used
when the sect master calls
for an assembly.
The back courtyard is even bigger.
That's where we train.
Our sect values practical combat.
Under the supervision of the Elders,
the disciples undergo combat training
to determine rankings
based on strength.
Since you're very skilled,
how about a spar
with the top disciple?
I will spar with Big Brother
another day.
The top disciple
is Tang Hu.
I've lost to him several times
for the top rank.
You must be careful of him.
In the sect,
you cannot hold back.
Thank you for the advice, Big Brother.
Let's go report to the Chief.
He'll be very surprised to see you.
Tang Tian.
Tang Yu.
Tell Fourth Uncle
about the Iron Cable Bridge.
Don't delay this matter.
- All right.
- All right.
This way, please.
Let's go.
Please head inside.
Thank you very much.
Aunt.
San.
(Tang Xiao, Head of Haotian Sect)
You're Tang San?
I, Tang San,
greet the Chief.
Brother!
Under such immense soul power pressure
from me,
you remain completely unharmed.
San, what are you doing?
It's my obligation as a son
to repay my father's debt.
I'm willing to bear the responsibility
on my father's behalf.
Are you capable of bearing it?
I don't know if I can bear it.
But I'm willing to do my best
to shoulder the responsibilities
my father owed to the sect,
hoping to make amends
for the harm he caused.
Get up.
How could you
let a child carry your responsibilities?
How long are you going
to keep running away,
at fifty years old?
Chief,
Father isn't running.
He just felt
he could no longer face the sect,
which is why he sent me back
to return to our roots
and submit to the sect's decisions.
Return to the roots.
That's easier said than done.
The elders of the clan
can't forgive your father,
nor will they accept you.
Your aunt and I will do our best
to make it happen.
But the outcome
may not be as we wish.
Father asked me to bring these back.
He said
this is the only thing
he can do for the sect.
Tang Hao
Tang Hao, he
Brother,
Second Brother forcibly removed
his soul bones
from his body.
(I owe the sect these two soul bones.)
(I have failed the Haotian Sect.)
(Please return them on my behalf.)
Father,
why don't you go see Uncle yourself?
I want to spend my remaining years
with your mother.
Father returned the soul bones
to the sect,
hoping that it would calm
some anger toward him.
It's also a closure for him
after fulfilling the responsibilities
he left undone.
So Chief
After this,
you can address me as your Uncle.
Uncle.
How is
your father now?
When Father severed his limbs,
he forced the stagnated blood
into the limbs,
temporarily freeing himself
from the torment of his old injuries.
Now, he and my mother
are recovering slowly
at the Ice Fire Mouth Spring.
Uncle, don't worry.
Your mother?
(After Mother passed away,)
(she transformed
into the Blue Silver Plant.)
(Father stays by her side every day,)
(planning to live out
the rest of his life with her.)
Perhaps,
this is the best end for him.
San?
Is that what your father calls you?
Actually, your father only did
what any father or husband
would do.
So
no matter what others say in the future,
I don't want this
to become your burden.
Doing your best for the sect
is what you must do.
It's not to repay what your father owes.
It's
because you are a part of the sect.
Uncle.
Yuehua,
tomorrow we'll hold the ceremony
for San to formally rejoin the sect.
You will handle the arrangement.
Do we need
to inform the elders about this?
After all
Why not
just be upfront about it?
San, remember this.
In the Haotian Sect,
only power gives you the right to speak.
If you want to earn their approval,
you must prove it to them
with your power.
I have two words for you.
Be firm.
Aunt, you wanted to see me at this hour.
Is it because you have
something to tell me?
San,
do you see that?
What are those?
The Haotian Sect disciples
who died at the hands
of the Martial Soul Hall.
The Haotian Sect,
once the leader of the Upper Three Sects
is now in such a dire state
after facing the Martial Soul Hall.
It's even worse for the smaller sects
on the continent now.
At that time,
the Martial Soul Hall pressured
the Haotian Sect,
threatening the sect's survival.
That's why we had no choice
but to cut ties with your father.
The decline of the Haotian Sect
also began at that very moment.
San,
do you know
about the Four Single Attribute Tribes?
Father told me
they are divided into Strength,
Defense, Agility, and Destruction.
When the Martial Soul Hall
couldn't find the Haotian Sect,
they began to harass the four tribes.
In the beginning,
the disciples of the Haotian Sect
went to provide support.
But after the former Supreme Pontiff,
Qian Xun Ji died
and Bi Bi Dong took over,
their methods became even more ruthless.
We were forced
to withdraw from the world
and preserve our strength.
After that,
the Four Single Attribute Tribes
gradually dispersed
without the protection
of the Haotian Sect.
For all these years,
Father has felt deeply guilty
toward the Four Single Attribute Tribes.
If there's a chance,
I'd like to reunite the four tribes.
But this time,
I won't abandon them.
Also
Other than returning to the clan,
did Second Brother ask you
to do something else?
Father hopes that I can
Pay respect to your grandfather
on my behalf
and also send my regards to your uncle.
I also want
to give the Haotian Sect an answer
on behalf of Father,
to fulfill those responsibilities
he couldn't complete.
Back then,
your grandfather was seriously ill.
After being overwhelmed by the shock,
he passed away.
Apart from that,
we've lost many disciples.
The elders blame
every of this incident
on your father.
So if you want to pay respects
to your grandfather on his behalf,
it won't be an easy task.
My mother may be a soul beast.
But Father cherishes us.
The fault is not his.
It's all the Martial Soul Hall's fault.
But it doesn't matter what you think.
What matters is what the elders think.
The Haotian Sect has split
into two factions.
The faction led by your uncle believes
that the past mistake
was not your father's fault.
Everything was because
of the Martial Soul Hall's tyranny.
They've lost Qian Xun Ji.
You've lost your mother.
But the other faction
is led by several elders.
They believe
your father abandoned the sect,
which led to the sect's crisis.
The son of the Seventh Elder
is buried in this graveyard.
Aunt, don't worry.
I know my return to the clan
will face a lot of opposition.
But
I will do my best tomorrow.
San,
no matter what your uncle says,
I hope you will act
within your abilities.
Put yourself first
and don't force anything.
No matter what I face tomorrow,
I will prove to them
that I will become a strong person.
I will have the power to avenge
my mother, my loved ones, and my sect.
I will help the sect regain
its former glory.
(Xiao Wu,)
(today I finally realized
the responsibility I bear.)
(Mother didn't have the chance)
(to return to the sect with Father.)
(I hope that one day,)
(you can accompany me back.)
(Martial Soul Hall, Xingluo City)
I set fire to the warehouse
in the back courtyard
where they store the armors.
There's the front courtyard
where they train soul masters.
Something is definitely off there too.
We should go in and investigate.
Go to the entrance and act as bait
to draw away the guards' attention.
That's a great idea.
Boss Dai,
you can go and lure them.
Zhuqing,
let's go.
- You go.
- You go.
Me?
What are you doing here?
Good evening, sirs.
I came to find my man.
Are you blind?
This is the Martial Soul Hall.
Your man is not here.
My man is also a soul master.
He was recruited
by the Martial Soul Hall.
I asked a lot of people on my way here.
They all said it's here.
If you don't believe me,
I show it to you.
(Recruitment Notice:Gathering Heroes
to a Prosperous Future)
It's a flyer.
The Martial Soul Hall's flyer.
See this flyer?
The one you're looking for isn't here.
Leave now!
You pushed me!
You're too much!
I'm my man's
darling little princess.
At home, he treats me like
I'm the most precious thing.
He won't even lift a finger
against me.
You actually dare to push me.
This is unforgivable!
Get your hands off me!
My life is too miserable.
