=Episode 16=
I'm so pitiful!
Stop right there!
How could an ordinary woman
possess such extreme strength?
Who exactly are you?
How dare you?
Fatty said plenty of soul masters
were undergoing their training here.
Why didn't we see a single one
on our way here?
Look.
Look at the tracks.
These should be tracks left behind
by the armor-transporting carriage.
Is this a trap?
I speculate that this Martial Soul Hall
is an empty shell by now.
Let's see what we can find.
This must be Fatty's doing.
Someone cleaned up the place before.
Judging from the remnants,
the fire didn't burn everything down.
Could it be that they left cautiously
upon detecting Fatty's presence?
They didn't search
for Fatty in the city.
However, they emptied
the Martial Soul Hall.
This makes no sense.
I suppose they had no time
to care about Fatty.
Let's rendezvous with Fatty.
Let's report this to Father
tomorrow morning.
That hurts.
Fatty?
That hurts!
Hurry and get up.
Fatty,
did someone take advantage of you?
I was buying time
for you guys, you know?
The scums at the entrance
are so annoying.
Why are you standing here?
Time to run.
They're coming.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Fatty, you look pretty good
in a woman's attire.
Shut up!
Tang Long,
invite the two elders here again.
Yes, sir.
No need for that.
We're here.
Tang San,
greet the two elders.
I
Chief.
(Seventh Elder of Haotian Sect)
Why did you allow an outsider
to enter Haotian Sect?
Is Haotian Sect
available for all kinds of people now?
(Second Elder of Haotian Sect)
San inherited the bloodline
and martial soul of Haotian Sect.
He's not an outsider.
(Tang Hu, Disciple of Haotian Sect)
Chief,
the son of a sinner
isn't worthy enough to stay beside you.
You're not welcome here.
Hurry and scram!
The chief and elders are speaking.
How dare you interfere?
Has Haotian Sect abandoned its rules?
As the sect's top disciple, Tang Hu
was expressing our intentions
on our behalf.
How is he wrong?
Chief,
hurry and kick him out
so that Haotian Sect
wouldn't be tainted by the likes of him.
Elders, I understand your frustrations.
I'm willing to atone
for my father's sin.
Chief, elders, I only hope
that you guys can give me
a chance to return to my roots.
I think
this is enough to express
Tang Hao's sincerity, right?
A soul bone?
This belongs to Tang Hao.
Is he dead?
No.
He forcibly stripped this
from himself alive.
He's the son of the old chief after all.
Seems like he always regretted
what he did to the sect.
These two soul bones
are the treasures of the sect.
Now, the two elders can keep them.
When you find the next sect successor
or disciples who contribute
greatly to the sect,
you may give them the soul bones.
Why would the old chief
passed away suddenly
if Tang Hao didn't insist on
being together with a soul beast?
Why would my sole son and
the young disciples of Haotian Sect
die fighting against Martial Soul Hall
had he not done so?
Why would the mighty Haotian Sect
become a reclusive sect had it
not because of his foolish actions?
Everything went downhill
because of what Tang Hao did.
I'll never forgive him!
Due to your father's actions,
I won't let you return to the sect
even if you've retrieved the soul bones.
Moreover,
he and that cursed soul beast
gave birth to you!
San,
stop what you're doing right now!
The Demon Domain, huh?
You can criticize me all you like,
but don't ever insult my mother.
Seventh Elder,
I challenge you to a duel.
I might die, but I have no regrets.
You wish to challenge me to a duel?
That's right.
If you lose,
you have to apologize to my mother.
This is preposterous.
You think you have the right
to challenge me?
Youngsters can be proud,
but they shouldn't be arrogant.
You're young,
yet you intend to challenge
the elder of Haotian Sect to a duel?
Are you belittling Haotian Sect now?
Elders, there's no need
to waste your breath on him.
You can leave arrogant fools
like him to me.
I'll teach him a lesson.
Do I have the right to challenge you
after defeating the top disciple,
Seventh Elder?
If you survive the duel,
I'll accept your challenge.
Okay.
Tang Hu,
Level 64 Storm Attack Branch
War Soul Emperor.
Please.
Tang San,
Level 59 Controlling Branch
War Soul King.
How could the martial soul
of Haotian Hammer
belong to a Controlling Soul Master?
You'll find out later.
Twin Martial Souls?
That's right.
It's the one-in-a-hundred
Twin Martial Souls.
Twin Martial Souls
and the Demon Domain, huh?
I suppose he has the right
to be arrogant.
Innate Domain?
His mother, Yin,
left that behind for him.
You're powerful indeed.
But I won't lose to you forever.
We shall duel again in the future.
I shall wait for you.
Seventh Elder,
do I have the right
to challenge you now?
Help me put it on.
Seventh Elder,
this is
This is the only thing Senior
had left behind after his passing.
Help me put it on.
My son died with this equipped
while fighting against
the Martial Soul Hall.
Today, I want him to see
how I'm going to teach
Tang Hao's son a lesson.
Since your father isn't back
to face his punishment,
you shall face it on his behalf.
If you lose,
I hope you can take back
your insults.
And, I hope the elders can agree
to give me a chance
to return to my roots.
Father,
this is my friend, Ma Hongjun.
Hello.
We infiltrated Xingluo City's
Martial Soul Hall
in secret according to the leads
he provided us.
However, it was already empty
when we reached there.
The armors,
soul masters,
even the Grand Chrysanthemum Master
was missing.
I'm sure something's off.
I'm worried that they might be
targeting Xingluo.
Your Majesty, please investigate
the case thoroughly.
Duke Lingmao investigated
the case long ago.
I said this before.
You guys should only
focus on your cultivation.
You guys shouldn't
meddle with state affairs.
Father,
I'm worried that this incident
might be related
to the disappearance
of the soul masters.
I wish
Just mind your own business!
Even if they're up to no good,
they're not targeting Xingluo.
Now, all of the
Martial Soul Halls in Xingluo
are empty.
All of the soul masters
have left the city in secret.
They left?
Where did they go?
Your Majesty,
where did they go?
Tiandou.
Don't tell me
Martial Soul Hall is trying to
Their intention doesn't matter
as long as they don't harm Xingluo.
Father,
we can't just stay out of this.
The survival of the two empires
depends on each other.
If Martial Soul Hall intends
to invade Tiandou,
I'm afraid Xingluo won't be
able to escape unscathed.
Depend on each other?
We could profit from their conflict.
You're still as dense as always.
Although Martial Soul Hall is powerful,
Tiandou isn't that weak.
We should reap the profit
after the conflict
instead of joining it.
Your Majesty, aren't you worried
Enough!
Zhuqing, although
you're a Six-Ring Soul Emperor now,
don't forget
that you two were the ones
who came up with the bet!
Both parties must uphold
their end of the bargain!
Do your part
before you worry about other people.
I understand.
I'll improve my cultivation
as soon as possible.
Remember,
you don't even have the right
to negotiate a deal with me
until you reach the required level,
not to mention saving
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.
Leave.
I shall take my leave.
I shall take my leave.
I shall take my leave.
Make sure our men keep an eye
on Mubai and Zhuqing.
Do not let them leave the palace again.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Now, I finally understand.
Crown Prince? Crown Princess?
None of you can lead a life
as carefree as a commoner like me.
I hate this palace.
I'm going to leave now.
And,
you
Fatty.
You must mind your words here.
Is it illegal for me to talk?
All of the personnel here
are His Majesty's men.
They already had their eyes on you
ever since you entered the palace.
Stall them.
I need to write a letter to them.
What?
Don't tell me Emperor Xingluo
will restrict my freedom?
Am I right?
He won't go that far.
As long as you stay obedient,
you'll be well-fed.
What is she saying?
I'm a citizen of Tiandou.
My nation is in trouble now.
I can't just sponge off you guys
in the palace, right?
And, I've never been
in a relationship before.
I haven't realized my dream yet.
I haven't brought honor
to Shrek Academy yet.
You should
stay grounded and train
with me and Mubai.
You have a point.
I'll only use 40% of my soul power.
If you lose,
I will destroy your
Haotian Hammer martial soul.
Seventh Elder,
it's my win if I manage to
force you to use your full strength.
What do you think?
You think you can force me
to use my full strength?
You're really arrogant, aren't you?
My rank is seven.
They call me Lie Yang.
I'm very honored
to cross blades with you,
the Grand Lie Yang Master!
Well, you're something else.
Attached soul bone?
Chief, did you know Tang San
had attached soul bones long ago?
This is one of his three soul bones.
He has three?
He's truly a freak.
Out of the three soul bones he has,
his mother only left one behind for him.
He obtained the others
through his own effort.
He has
surpassed Second Brother
in every aspect when he was his age.
So, a Grand Soul Master
actually used his sixth soul skill,
Martial Soul Clone,
against a soul master under Level 60?
Seventh Elder didn't break the rules.
He can use all the soul skills he wants
as long as it's within 40%
of his full power.
Kid,
I'll get serious now.
It's not too late
for you to surrender!
Please.
This child has sparked
his competitive spirit.
By only using 40% of his power,
the strongest soul skill he can use
is the seventh soul skill,
Haotian True Form.

Combining his martial soul
and the Haotian Hammer,
it seems like he's almost using
over 40% of his power.
Seems like Seventh Elder
intends to break the rules.
He knows what he's doing.

San.
Aunt, you don't need to worry.
I'm fine.
Where's Seventh Uncle?
Where's that kid?
Don't tell me he was
shattered to pieces?
This
How did this kid manage to get up?
Chief,
did you save him?
He got up by himself.
This is impossible.
He received the full blow of
my Tool Soul's true form.
Even if he survives,
he will be seriously wounded!
This is impossible!
Seven,
just accept reality.
If I'm not mistaken,
he has a skill that can make him fly.
He didn't use it during the duel.
Wait, but he
Seven,
in the end, you used all of your power.
You lost the duel.
And, the kid gave up on attacking you
because he wanted
to protect the shoulder guard.
He had no choice but to take on
the full blow.
I've lost.
Seven,
head back and rest.
No.
I can't just leave.
I'm not a sore loser.
Since I've lost,
I have to fulfill my promise.
I'll wait here until
he regains consciousness.
Yuehua,
you can start preparing for
the ancestral recognition ceremony.
Elders, thank you for
fulfilling his wish.
He fulfilled his own wish.
I've never seen
a young man as outstanding as him.
Maybe he's the person
that Haotian Sect
has been waiting for all along.
I just hope that he won't
take the wrong path
and repeat his father's mistake.
The situation is worse than I thought.
The peripheral area of Xingdou Forest
has too many high-level soul beasts
from the mixed zone.
The soul beasts are killing each other.
Xingdou Forest is in complete chaos now.
Xingdou Forest
was greatly affected this time.
I assume it'll take a long time
before the forest can recover.
If only Tang San
were around.
This concerns Xingdou Forest.
What has this got to do with him?
Previously, he always supported
Wu with his power from a distance.
This time, maybe he can come up
with a method to heal the forest.
Method to heal the forest?
I got it!
Erming,
thank you!
You're thanking me?
It's about the method
to heal the forest.
We have to align with the natural order.
We have to use the forest's power
to heal the forest.
Wu,
what does that mean?
Are you saying that we can
stay out of this?
That's not it.
You guys have to help the forest out.
It's because you guys
are the forest's power.
Us?
Erming,
come with me.
Let's head to the peripheral area.
(Wu,)
(what should we do?)
(The law of nature teaches the
soul beasts to avoid natural predators.)
(They need to seek benefits
and avoid harm.)
(To the soul beasts in Xingdou Forest,)
(you guys, who have
lived for 10,000 years)
(are the leaders of the forest.)
(None of them can disobey you two.)
(Therefore, you guys are the only ones)
(that can herd the soul beasts that have
gathered in the peripheral area)
(back to where they belong.)
(All of us are part of
the forest's power.)
(When nature loses its balance,)
(we should do what we're supposed to do)
(and use our power)
(to help everything get back on track.)
I heard that there's an animal
called a shepherd dog
in the human world.
Does it resemble us?
If so, should I call myself
a shepherd ape?
Haotian Sect has gone
into hiding for 20 years.
Isn't it time for us
to return
to the Soul Master's world?
Our sect has mentioned this many times.
I suppose the time is ripe.
No.
I don't agree with it.
Second Uncle,
isn't this what you wished for?
Now, it seems like
we have to lay low for a little longer.
Is it because
of San?
Haotian Sect needs
a leader capable of guiding the sect
towards innovation and progress.
All of us are old now.
You're getting older too.
But the kid is different.
He's exceptionally talented.
We can't afford to neglect him.
What he needs are
experience and cultivation.
Second Uncle,
have you agreed to forgive Hao?
The past cannot be changed.
For the future of our sect,
I still require Tang San to prove
that he's determined enough
to carry this responsibility.
You forced me to use my full power,
yet you weren't injured internally.
Kid,
you're pretty capable.
Seventh Elder,
thank you for your praise.
I was lucky to win the match.
I was wrong about you.
You're a good kid.
This shoulder guard
is the only namesake I have of my son.
I won't
express my thanks.
I will fulfill my promise.
Kid,
I hereby apologize
to your mother officially.
Although she's a soul beast,
the Haotian Sect isn't
a narrow-minded organization.
We aren't inherently biased.
It's just that we lost control
of the situation
gradually.
That's why an old
and stubborn man like me
is venting my frustrations on her.
Tang San,
I agree to let you return to your roots.
Now, you're an official member
of Haotian Sect.
You may go inside.
Chief and Second Elder
are waiting for you inside.
Thank you, Chief
and fellow elders.
Thank you for allowing me
to return to my roots
and fulfill my father's wish.
May I pay respect to Grandfather now?
The sect was in huge trouble
because of your father.
The old chief couldn't forgive him
even before he took his last breath.
Although we allowed you
to return to your roots,
the old chief always hoped
that Haotian Sect could produce
an exceptionally talented young disciple
that could help the sect
regain its former glory.
If you can complete three tasks for us,
not only will you be able
to return to your roots,
but we can also allow your father
to return to the sect
so that you two could pay respect
to the old chief together.
All right.
I promise you.
These three tasks are
extraordinarily difficult.
According to what I know,
no one in the history
of Douluo Continent
had ever completed them.
Even so, are you sure
you want to take up the tasks?
No matter what kind of tasks they are,
I will complete them.
It's because this is a promise
I made to Father.
It's also a promise I made to the sect.
For the first task,
your soul power needs to exceed Level 80
within ten years.
I believe I can achieve that.
For the second task,
defeat a Grand Soul Master
of Martial Soul Hall within ten years.
For the third task,
when your soul power reaches Level 80,
you need to obtain
a Hectomillennium Soul Ring.
Second Elder,
even most
of the Grand Soul Masters
couldn't complete that task.
Ordinary soul masters will never
be able to complete the task.
However, the future leader
of Haotian Sect
has to complete it.
Although these
three tasks are difficult,
they represent our expectations of you.
If you can complete them in time,
you shall be the next sect leader.
By then, no one will stop you
no matter what you want to do.
I
will complete them.
(Father,)
(although these three tasks)
(are extremely difficult,)
(I'll fulfill my promise.)
(I won't let you or the sect down.)
(Given enough time,)
(I'll surely return here)
(and restore Haotian Sect
to its former glory.)
(San,)
(I'll leave Haotian Sect to you.)
(I believe)
(that you can surely achieve
what I couldn't back then.)
Judging from His Majesty's pulse,
I think someone
has swapped his medicine.
Father's meals and prescriptions
have to undergo a strict inspection.
There's no way an outsider
can tamper with them.
Unless it's
Reporting in!
Your Highness,
you told us to set up
an ambush in the dark
and subdue suspicious persons.
Someone fell for our trap!
Who is it?
Where is he?
Such audacity!
How dare you guys do this to me?
Brother,
tell them to release me!
Put down your spears.
So, you swapped out
Father's medicine, huh?
Are you trying to harm Father here?
What are you talking about?
Who's trying to harm Father?
I should be asking you that question.
Why did you sneak to Father's chamber?
You didn't allow anyone to visit Father.
I had no choice but to sneak in.
Brother, do you think
only you're concerned about Father?
Search his body.
How dare you?
I'm one of the princes!
I won't let you guys
disrespect me like this!
Xue Qinghe,
once Father has recovered,
I'll surely ask him
to uphold justice for me!
Fourth Brother,
someone swapped Father's medicine.
This concerns his safety.
I can't afford to take the risk.
Search his body.
This has nothing to do with me!
I'm the fourth prince!
By doing this to me,
you guys are insulting the royal family!
You'll regret this.
Continue the search.
You may choose to doubt me.
However, you have to show evidence.
On the contrary,
if something happens to Father,
shouldn't you be
the main suspect instead?
Your Highness,
someone wishes to see His Majesty.
He's waiting at the entrance.
Xue Qinghe.
I'll remember
what you did to me today.
I know that was a tough pill to swallow.
But I hope that you can understand this.
I can't afford to let anything
happen to Father.
I have no choice.
Grandmaster.
Master.
Your Highness,
please tell the guards to leave.
We have something
to report to His Majesty.
Someone secretly swapped
Father's medicine a few days ago.
We're still investigating the case.
This concerns his safety.
Therefore, I'm afraid
I cannot let you two see His Majesty
before we reach a conclusion.
Please forgive me.
That actually happened?
If so, how's His Majesty doing now?
He's currently fine.
He just needs to rest and recuperate.
Could it be that members of Martial
Soul Hall have infiltrated the palace?
We cannot determine
the culprit as of yet.
What urgent matter do you guys
have to report to His Majesty?
Why don't you guys
discuss it with me first?
We can make a decision together.
Martial Soul Hall has recruited an army
of soul masters in Xingluo.
They're heading to Tiandou?
Grandmaster,
where did you receive this news from?
Is the news source reliable?
It was discovered by one of my students,
who was traveling abroad.
It's reliable.
Your Highness,
Martial Soul Hall had been
recruiting soul masters before this.
Now, the number
of soul masters they have
is almost equal to Tiandou.
And now, they're gathering in secret.
Their motives are unknown.
I'm afraid they're trying
to stage a rebellion.
Martial Soul Hall's behavior
is questionable indeed.
However, we don't have
concrete evidence.
We cannot question them in public.
I'll send my men to investigate the case
and gather evidence now.
This time, Tiandou
can't afford to spare them again.
I'm afraid we have to form
a defense plan.
I'll station my troops here
to guard the palace entrance
and the city pass.
Grandmaster.
You're the Chief of Soul Master
appointed by Father himself.
I need you to deploy
the soul masters under you
to defend the palace.
I will not let you down.
I'll also deploy the elite soul masters
of the Qibao Amber Sect
to assist Grandmaster
with his arrangement
so that His Majesty may remain safe.
Master, thank you.
Your Highness,
we have no time to waste.
Chief Ning and I will make
arrangements for it now.
(Grand Porcupinefish Master)
Tell Martial Soul Hall
to act quickly
to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness!
What happened?
Did you take His Majesty's medicine?
He was suspicious of me.
Luckily, he didn't find the medicine.
This isn't the time
to go against him in public.
However, judging from his reaction,
I'm sure that he's behind everything.
He's afraid that we might foil his plan.
You
No
We've already alerted him
to our presence.
It won't be as simple
if we try to help His Majesty
suppress the toxin in his body again.
How's the research on the antidote?
The toxin in His Majesty's body
is extremely complex.
It's much harder to create the antidote
than I imagine.
I'm worried that he can't last
until the antidote is completed.
Since that's the case,
taking a risk is our only option.
Now that both of you
have reached Level 60,
I'll fulfill my promise.
I'll spare them from death.
Strip them of their martial souls.
Father!
Your Majesty,
please allow Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi
to retain their martial souls.
Why can't you guys understand?
Killing them or stripping them of
their martial souls was never the goal.
Consolidating royal power
is the core of the ancestral system.
This is what the royal family of Xingluo
had done since thousands of years ago.
You guys are still young.
You guys underestimate
the human desire for power.
Compared to power,
we desire to choose
our own path in life.
Father,
I know that Xingluo
established such a system
due to the internal
power struggle in the past.
But in reality,
brothers might not turn against
each other because of power.
It's more likely
that they'll help each other out.
Enough!
I've already made repeated concessions
because of your persistence.
But the bottom line of Xingluo Empire
cannot be compromised.
You guys are powerful candidates
selected by our ancestral system.
You guys have to accept your fate!
Such audacity!
Fatty!
Don't move.
Your Majesty,
won't the royal family of Xingluo
worry about this?
If the prince dies now,
who will inherit Xingluo Empire?
Release him.
Your Majesty, I just wish
to give you a reminder.
Your ancestral system only serves to
keep him alive because your
ancestors think other princes
will harm him.
If so, can your ancestral system
guarantee
that other people will not harm
the crown prince?
If they do get their way,
don't you think the royal family
of Xingluo is in huge trouble?
You're overthinking it.
Fatty!
Fatty!
