[The Land of Warriors]

[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "Soul Land"]

[Episode 8]

[Douluo Continent Northern Map]

Why did you ask me to come here?

See this map? [Douluo Continent Northern Map]

This is where Heaven Dou is. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is right here.

I just realized how vast the Douluo Continent really is.

I heard the environment of this place is extremely harsh.

It can fully test a person's willpower and physical strength. [Extreme North]

I know. That place is called Extreme North.

Rongrong,

if I can survive the trials here, I'll definitely be able to protect you.

Did you ask me to come here so you can give me a geography lesson?

I don't want to hear it.

The flower cake shop you love is closed on the 1st and 15th of every month.

Make sure you don't go there on those days.

You can help me remember that.

Our Miss Rongrong is as beautiful as the blooming flowers. Make sure to be happy every day.

Don't do things you don't like.

Never let yourself suffer in silence.

Just follow the voice of your heart.

Don't say anymore.

I don't want to hear it.

However, Rongrong, there's something I still want to tell you.

I'm leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

No, I won't allow it.

Don't overthink it. A lot of things that seem troublesome now aren't that important.

No matter how many difficulties, we can overcome them together.

Didn't you say that no matter what happens, we'll always be together?

- Why... - Rongrong.

I must be someone powerful enough to rival the Battle Soul Masters.

Only then will I be able to protect you.

That's why I must leave Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan temporarily to venture into the world and train.

But you're already a genius among the Support Soul Masters.

You don't need to change anything for me.

I'm not changing anything. I have my aspirations.

I must face the truth about myself and confront the dangers and my shortcomings.

Only by truly growing stronger and defying fate...

can I bravely stand by your side.

- Aspirations? - That's right.

Wang Zheng rescuing us was all part of a scheme. But it was also a reminder for me.

Even Xiao San and Boss Dai can't be content with their current strength, I definitely can't be either.

It looks like you've thought this through.

So much that it gives me a headache.

You're always thinking of ways to make me happy.

Where do you find the time to think about these?

When I think about how to make you truly happy, carefree, and without worries,

that's when I think about all of this.

But the Extreme North is a dangerous and harsh place.

How can you assure your safety?

When have the Shrek Seven Devils ever been defeated by difficulties in our training?

I never gave up before, and I won't give up in the future.

But... you were there whenever we faced danger...

in the past.

Then I'll go with you. We will go through the trials together.

Rongrong, you still have your mission.

Don't worry. Once I've achieved my goal, I will return to you as soon as possible.

It looks like you have already made up your mind.

I won't stop you.

Take this with you.

Let it keep you company on my behalf and protect you.

You need this Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow more.

Are you listening to me or not?

All right. Then don't forget to look after yourself, too.

Wait for my return.

You must come back safe and sound.

Or else I will never speak to you again.

All right.

Can I...

♫ The unfinished story must be tested by hardships before it can continue ♫

♫ Because of you, the answer is clear ♫

♫ Through mountains and seas, I've promised to return ♫

♫ So I do not fear the change of time ♫

♫ Because of you, I'm sure of what to say ♫

♫ I do ♫

These are Xiao Ao's things?

Yes.

He left the inner disciple's clothes and the hidden weapons provided by the clan.

All right, then.

He said he was going to train and improve his soul skills.

Rongrong must be very sad.

This kid will definitely come back.

When he does, I'll hand them over to him in person.

♫ Blood pulses through me, igniting a desire for chaos ♫

♫ To expose the lies of our hastily written fate ♫

♫ No more hiding the full strength that my Martial Soul has awakened ♫

♫ Even countless trials can't stop me ♫

♫ The searing heat that surges within my chest ♫

♫ I want the world to remember me ♫

King Asura! King Asura!

King Asura! King Asura!

King Asura! King Asura!

♫ Break through the encirclement ♫

No. 9528 has won his 99th match!

Awesome! Incredible! Bravo!

King Asura! King Asura!

She has watched all my matches. Could she have recognized me?

♫ No matter how battered, I smile and refuse to yield ♫

♫ Heroes emerge covered in dust ♫

♫ Despite being scarred and worn ♫

♫ I can still sever the cycle of fate ♫

♫ Even countless trials can't stop me ♫

What a surprise. You rarely watch the matches.

Congratulations, like the Emissary of Hell,

you've now been ranked among the top ten since Netherworld City was established.

You're only one step away from challenging Hell's Road.

It has been 99 matches. Why have I never faced her?

You mean the Emissary of Hell?

The rule of the training ground is that people with over 50 victories won't be matched against each other.

Clearly, you two never had a chance to meet.

That's not right.

You did not arrange it when it was under 50 victories, either.

Consider it good luck then.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if one of you died had you met up.

I'm sure you understand.

It looks like I won't get any answers from you.

What's understood doesn't need to be said.

♫ Despite being scarred and worn ♫

♫ I can still sever the cycle of fate ♫

This is the second time today with ninety-nine straight victories!

Let's give them a cheer!

Incredible! Great!

Emissary of Hell! Emissary of Hell!

Emissary of Hell! Emissary of Hell!

Help... Help!

These soul beasts are acting strange. If this continues, we'll all die.

We need to retreat. Release the signal for reinforcements.

All right.

How dare you steal my things?

I'll chop you up right now!

Stop it.

How dare you meddle in my business?

King Asura...

No... Don't kill me.

You can have the kid.

Don't be scared.

Brother San.

Brother San.

Brother San.

Brother San.

Brother San.

Do you want to die?

Stop it.

Did I hear that wrong?

The King Asura of Netherworld City cannot afford to be merciful.

He's still a child.

But this is the Netherworld City.

There are only enemies, no children.

If you want to blame someone,

blame him for being born in the wrong place.

It's not his fault he was born here.

It's Netherworld City's oppressive rule that deprived him of his choices.

You still haven't gotten used to it after all this time?

This world is a survival of the fittest.

The weak don't deserve to live.

No. The strong have their own way of living,

and the weak have their own way of survival.

In a normal world, the weak also have the right to live.

Only the paths we choose are different.

One day, I will give the children here a new world to live in.

Your Holiness.

What's your name?

My name is Hu Liena.

Good. From now on, you'll be under my care.

The weak do not deserve to live in this world.

Keep that in mind.

The weak do not deserve to live in this world.

Keep that in mind.

You're being controlled by the killing intent. Get a hold of yourself.

Get a hold of yourself!

Not every child is lucky enough to have someone give them the chance to choose.

Oh, no! Something bad has happened!

What happened?

I was checking the surroundings when I found out it led its tribe to release

a large amount of mist and toxins to protect the core region.

But it was discovered by the Martial Soul Hall.

Martial Soul Hall.

I will make you pay with your lives.

It can't hold on much longer.

I will heal it now so don't worry.

Er Ming, you scared it.

I'll do it.

No, it's scared of you two, so I'll do it.

No, you cannot. You are about to undergo the soul ring transformation.

It requires a lot of soul power to heal it.

You'll be in danger if you exhaust your soul power.

Saving a life is more important.

It sacrificed its life for me. I must save it.

The massacre of the Wide-Ear Ghost Fox by the Martial Soul Hall

has caused many soul beasts in the core region to wake up from their long slumber.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Are you worried about the beast rampage?

The Martial Soul Hall may repeatedly commit evil deeds.

But if the beast rampage happens, it will affect everyone.

The consequences will be unimaginable.

I may not have the ability to prevent a disaster.

But I must hurry to undergo the soul ring transformation and leave here as soon as possible.

No, your soul ring transformation was unexpectedly interrupted,

and you just used a great deal of soul power to treat the Wide-Ear Ghost Fox.

Now, you must wait for your body to heal before continuing.

But as long as I'm here, the Martial Soul Hall won't stop targeting Star Dou Forest.

Sister Xiao Wu, don't push yourself.

Let me heal you today. Then you can start again tomorrow.

All right.

It took you half a month to report this to me?

I was too focused on going after that Soft Boned Rabbit.

Do a secret search now.

The Elder Hall must not know about the soul beasts' unusual behavior.

Do you hear me?

Yes, Your Holiness.

You're dismissed.

Let him in.

- Serve the tea. - I see you already know.

Star Dou Forest's power is unfathomable.

The deeper you go into the forest, the higher the intelligence and soul power of the soul beasts.

If the Martial Soul Hall continues to destroy it recklessly, it will surely backfire.

The rain has been plentiful this year.

This Yinxu tea is wonderfully fragrant.

Once the soul beasts start to retaliate,

the consequences will be far worse than you can imagine.

It could even plunge the entire Douluo Continent into disaster.

- What does that have to do with me? - What does that have to do with you?!

If you didn't go against the natural order, would Star Dou Forest be in such turmoil?

When the heavens punish, no one is exempt,

and neither is Martial Soul Hall.

Then for the sake of the world, hand over that rabbit.

Bibi Dong! If you remain stubborn, you will surely suffer the consequences.

Stopping now is the only correct path.

What identity are you using to meddle in my affairs?

The former Yu Xiaogang, or the current Elder Yu?

Stop!

Move aside now. The soul ring will dissipate if I don't absorb it in time.

Farting like thunder. Thunder Flame of Luo Sanpao!

Are you all right, Xiaogang? Are you hurt?

Having two martial souls coexist can be destructive to your body.

If you absorb the soul ring carelessly, it could easily cause a backlash.

But if I succeed, I'll have 18 soul rings.

You once told me that their soul rings were suitable for my second martial soul.

Why are you saying it's not possible now?

Based on my research,

your current body can't handle adding soul rings to both martial souls at the same time.

What is so funny? Do you know how serious this is? You might die from this.

Are you that worried about me?

Actually, you still care about me. Right?

I don't.

I'm just stating the facts.

How nice it would be

if your words were as tender as your heart.

Listen to me. When you reach level 90 with your first martial soul,

then we can talk about adding a soul ring to your second martial soul.

Fine, I understand.

I thought I could get stronger.

I didn't expect having twin martial souls would be of no use.

You will definitely be strong.

My Martial Soul Mutation is a family disgrace.

But your Twin Martial Souls are completely different.

If you reach the level of a Titled Douluo in the future,

you will have even more options when adding soul rings.

Xiaogang, you sure know a lot.

There's no other Soul Master in the entire continent as knowledgeable as you.

Stop talking nonsense.

I wasn't speaking nonsense. I'm speaking from the heart.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no idea what a loss it is to lose you.

Thank you.

The Lantern Festival is famous across the continent.

It's my first time here. What about you, Xiaogang?

Xiaogang.

- Mister, I want this book. Pack it for me. - All right.

Look at what I've found.

I've packed it for you.

I don't want it anymore. Just leave it here.

Excuse me, have you seen a lively girl with big eyes?

No.

Where were you? Did you run into any danger?

It's your fault for not focusing on me just now.

It was my fault earlier. I'm sorry.

Don't scare me like that again next time. It's so crowded here. What if you get lost?

All right. Since you were really worried about me earlier,

I'll forgive you for now.

I have something good to show you.

What is it?

Well? Do you like it? I made it myself.

It's for you.

I like it.

What kind of look is that? How could you say you like it with that gloomy look?

You're just humoring me, aren't you?

- Do you also mind that I... - Stop right there.

Look at it carefully. See how adorable it is.

This is your martial soul.

Besides, don't forget it was you who said there are no useless martial souls,

only useless Soul Masters.

But I can't progress past level 29 because of my martial soul mutation.

Their martial souls aren't useless, mine is.

Yu Xiaogang, listen to me carefully.

To me, you're the best Soul Master in the entire continent.

So what if you can't cultivate?

Focus on your martial soul research.

No one in Douluo Continent has a thorough understanding of Soul Masters like you.

You will certainly make your own mark.

Even if you doubt yourself, you should believe in me.

I, Bibi Dong, have a keen eye for talent.

Have some tea.

The rain has been plentiful this year. This Yinxu tea is wonderfully fragrant.

All right.

Listen to my advice. Stop the hunt in Star Dou Forest right away.

I will get what I want.

Since everything's already in chaos, why not let it get even worse?

Men. Dispatch more people and search for the Soft Boned Rabbit with all your strength.

If any soul beasts stand in the way, just kill them.

- Bibi Dong! - The tea has gone cold. You may leave now.

You're beyond help now.

- Your Holiness... - Leave!

Come back.

Elder Yu's words make sense.

We should act discreetly.

You may all leave now.

Those from the Martial Soul Hall are out of control. Those soul beasts are...

Let them cause chaos all they want.

As long as Sister Xiao Wu remains at the Star Lake with us,

she won't get hurt.

Something is not right. Sister Xiao Wu's soul ring transformations were never this intense in the past.

She used a lot of soul power yesterday.

Although you've helped her recover some, her body still lacks soul power.

Now isn't the right time for the soul ring transformation.

So, she'll surely face crises and trials.

Then what can we do to help her?

She can only depends on herself.

There's nothing we can do except protect her here.

Xiao Wu, why are you in so much pain right now?

Xiao Wu, I can feel your soul power has reached a bottleneck.

Are you going through the soul ring transformation?

Xiao Wu, I believe you can overcome this just like before.

Picture yourself embraced tightly by the ocean, by the forest,

and by a mother's gentle arms.

Imagine yourself surrounded by a soothing aura,

like the air we breathe in deeply on the training grounds after the rain.

[No. 9528]

King Asura! King Asura!

The weak also have the right to live.

[No. 9528]

[Win 10 Matches. Win 20 Matches. Win 30 Matches.]

[Win 90 Matches. Win 100 Matches.]

[No. 9528. Disciple of Clear Sky Clan.] [Skilled in hidden weapons.]

Is this how you treat your guest, King Asura?

If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave.

Those from the Clear Sky Clan

sure are boring.

You still have one match left.

I suggest you save your energy.

Are you concerned about me now?

I'm only curious.

Clear Sky Clan has been reclusive for so long.

Why the sudden interest in the Demon Domain?

Demon Domain?

You sounded like you didn't know about the secret of the Demon Domain.

No matter. I can tell you about it.

But a secret like this requires

another secret as an exchange.

We will complete our hundredth match on the same day,

and Hell's Road doesn't restrict the number of participants.

If I am not mistaken, you're here tonight

to propose an alliance.

Hell's Road allows the use of soul skills.

It seems like we're on the same page.

I'm your only option.

If you don't want to face it alone, then show some sincerity and tell me everything.

Anyone who makes it through Hell's Road not only gains free passage in and out of Netherworld City

but also earns an incredible reward,

which is the Demon Domain.

It not only channels your killing intent to your martial soul,

but this enhancement is having one more soul skill than ordinary Soul Masters.

Moreover,

Domain-type skills are incredibly rare.

They continuously evolve, growing stronger as your killing intent intensifies.

So, this is the reason Father sent me here to train.

Are Domain-type skills truly that valuable?

Of course.

Within the Domain you possess, your strength is amplified,

while your opponent's power is suppressed.

If used effectively, the results can be devastating.

You seem to know a lot about Domain skills.

Is it because you've seen your teacher using it?

I've already shown my sincerity.

So, what's your answer?

This is my answer.

Whenever a new Demon emerges, Hell's Road suffers immense destruction.

You would also be gravely affected and your sacred body weakened.

Should we take early measures this time

before King Asura's hundredth match and kill them?

Foolish.

Please calm down.

I was worried that if King Asura and the Emissary of Hell truly passed through Hell's Road

to become new Demons, it would bring heavy losses to Netherworld City.

What are these losses compared to Netherworld City's complete annihilation?

In this era, the only ones capable of threatening Netherworld City

are the Supreme Pontiff of the Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Douluo.

Both of them have already surpassed the limits of Netherworld City.

If King Asura and the Emissary of Hell die here,

the entire Netherworld City will perish alongside them.

My King, forgive me for my short-sightedness.

Then what should we do now?

If they choose to risk their lives and perish in Hell's Road,

they will have only themselves to blame.

Understood.

The Martial Soul Hall in Gengxin City needs a person in charge.

Depart immediately.

Thank you for your trust, Your Holiness. [Myles, Martial Soul Hall]

Gengxin City is the City of Metal.

There must be a deeper purpose for sending me there.

May I ask for clarification?

Make the Blacksmiths Guild there pledge allegiance to the Martial Soul Hall.

What use could this mere Blacksmiths Guild have for Your Holiness?

Even ants can form an army.

Blacksmiths may have a lowly status.

But they forge armor and weapons,

which is crucial to achieving my grand ambition.

I shall see to it that this task is accomplished.

[Gengxin City]

[Blacksmiths Guild, Gengxin City]

Move aside and do your work!

Oh no, Myles is here!

Get out of the way!

Move aside!

Get lost!

Are you blind? How dare you block Mr. Myles' path?

We must settle matters with the Tribe of Strength and the Blacksmiths Guild today.

Or none of us will be able to answer to Her Holiness.

- Yes. - Yes.

[Blacksmith Guild]

Could you lower the price a little more?

A Smith Scholar crafted this.

This is excellent.

- This shield... - You can try.

This one, this, and this, too.

- Martial Soul Hall. - The people from Martial Soul Hall are here!

Let's get out of here.

Mr. Lou, I've come with the utmost sincerity. [Lou Gao, Blacksmiths Guild Leader]

Please take a look.

A small gift; just a token of respect.

Lath-like gold?

Mr. Lou, you have such discerning taste.

But I cannot accept gifts for nothing.

You should...

Take it back!

I understand that the God of Blacksmiths, Lou Gao, is dedicated to weapon crafting with all his heart.

If you join the Martial Soul Hall, I will provide whatever you need.

Don't listen to him.

Back then, the Martial Soul Hall used the same methods to entice [Tai Nuo, Tribe of Strength]

the Four Great Subsidiary Tribes in exchange for information on Clear Sky Clan.

We refused them back then. Then you...

Tai Nuo!

That was old grievances from many years ago.

Bringing it up only damages relationships.

We should look to the future.

Her Holiness currently thinks highly of you.

In the future, blacksmiths will stand on equal footing with Soul Masters.

You are carrying the future of all blacksmiths on your shoulders.

Don't let instigation by some outsiders stop you from seizing this opportunity.

Thank you for your thoughtful arrangement.

But the Blacksmiths Guild is made up of nothing but honest craftsmen.

We can't offer Martial Soul Hall much.

Let alone worthy of your favor.

Please leave.

Since you refuse my offer, then I'll have to use force.

You wouldn't dare!

[Tai Tan, Tribe of Strength Chief]

Are you Tai Tan, the Chief of the Tribe of Strength?

Yes. If you plan to oppose the Blacksmiths Guild and the Tribe of Strength,

I, Tai Tan, will take you on!

You are...

a Titled Douluo?

Fine, I will return

and tell Her Holiness exactly what happened today.

Old pal! Luckily, you came just in time.

Otherwise, I would have...

Father?

Why are you glancing around?

It wasn't only my strength that stunned them earlier.

There was also a powerful aura, a familiar one.

It feels like Master's aura.

Master?

Father, I'm sure you're mistaken.

Master has been missing for years.

How could he suddenly appear here?

I will make them know the consequences of going against Martial Soul Hall.

Understood.
