[The Land of Warriors]

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

[Episode 12]

However, your music is bad.

I've always been clueless about music.

I'd rather be tortured by the experts at Great Soul Fighting Grounds than play music.

Mentor, how did you know I was here?

The Crown Prince returned to the palace and said a Clear Sky Clan disciple

obtained the Demon Domain.

My intuition told me that you were the one.

Where is Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu returned to Star Dou Forest.

I can't find her as long as I haven't achieved Father's standards.

Your father is right. Xiao Wu will be safer there.

We have to be separated because of Martial Soul Hall.

It seems like you've grown up in Netherworld City and it has had a huge effect on you.

No wonder you were sent here.

Your heart isn't calm now.

It's not just because of the killing intent's effect, but you also have too many things in your heart.

It is caused by your impatience to achieve success.

I know you still miss Xiao Wu, right?

When Xiao Wu left, a part of my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was worn on her.

So, I can always feel Xiao Wu's presence.

Xiao Wu is overcoming a critical moment of soul ring conversion right now

and I can't help at all.

Your martial soul can resonate with her?

My martial soul had a second awakening and turned into Blue Silver Emperor.

Moreover, I also obtained the Blue Silver Domain.

With the Blue Silver Domain, I can sense Xiao Wu more clearly

and I'm feeling more impatient to find her.

If it wasn't for my promise to Father, I would go and find Xiao Wu right now.

Your martial soul can achieve a second awakening?

Amazing.

It's amazing. The world of martial souls is unpredictable.

I've been researching it for many years and thought I'd found its true meaning.

Right now, it seems that I'm still very inexperienced.

I, Yu Xiaogang, might not have a bright future,

but my disciple is a genius of the continent.

Xiao San,

you've shown me that I'm still inexperienced after training and researching for so long.

- Mentor , that's not what I mean. - It's not important.

Quick. Tell me how you sense each other.

In that case, you might still be able to help in Xiao Wu's soul ring conversion.

Do you have a way, Mentor?

First of all, you must learn how to control your domain.

Don't be too happy or angry. Keep your emotions calm.

Otherwise, it might be bad for Xiao Wu.

Sit down first. Release your Innate Domain.

All right.

Blue Silver Grass are scattered across the continent.

Your blood of Blue Silver Emperor can control the world's Blue Silver Grass.

It is an extremely powerful and unique power.

So, even if Xiao Wu is doing soul ring conversion in another place,

you can attempt to connect with her using the Blue Silver Clan's power.

In the end, you can achieve mutual cultivation.

This form of cultivation not only benefits yourself,

but also benefits Xiao Wu to help her speed up her conversion.

Mutual cultivation? Xiao Wu, can I really do that?

♫ If separation is for our next meeting ♫

♫ My graceful longing always reaches for the stars ♫

Brother Da Ming, look. This Blue Silver Grass.

It's Tang San. He is helping Sister Xiao Wu.

At least, he's kind.

They might be separated, but they don't give up on each other.

Is this what humans call love?

What humans say has nothing to do with soul beasts.

But it has something to do with Sister Xiao Wu.

Brother Da Ming, I think Sister Xiao Wu has good taste.

♫ Your heartbeat resonates in my heart ♫

♫ Once you cry, the wind starts blowing in my world ♫

Xiao Wu, don't be afraid. I'm here.

I'm right by your side.

Who is it?

Mom!

Don't come out.

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

♫ I will create a sanctuary with my mortal flesh ♫

♫ I'm not afraid to die for you ♫

♫ If I love you ♫

Xiao Wu, don't be afraid.

♫ Using my eyes to bring you to see the surging tides of the world ♫

♫ If I love you ♫

♫ Embracing you for eternity ♫

♫ Once you smile, my world clears up ♫

Mentor.

It seems like Xiao Wu is in a deep sleep, but she is full of vitality.

However, for some reason, I can understand her feelings.

She is sad and afraid.

The improvement of one's cultivation is not easy.

She is also overcoming her difficulties.

Moreover, a soul beast doing soul ring conversion

is different from humans absorbing soul rings.

It takes time and patience.

Xiao San, what you need to learn now is to control your own domain and not harm Xiao Wu.

It'll only benefit the cultivation if you help her calm her emotions.

Mentor, I'm relieved to hear that I can cultivate with Xiao Wu.

I also understand that cultivating one's heart is a necessary lesson.

Don't worry, Mentor.

Oh, right. Poison Douluo came to find you.

I shouldn't go and greet him.

Martial Soul Hall is keeping a close eye on me.

I'm afraid I might cause him trouble.

They forced you and Xiao Wu to leave back then.

Although the Shrek Seven Devils won the competition,

all of you had to be separated to ensure your safety.

That's right. We promised to venture into the world after we graduated,

but no one expected Martial Soul Hall to corner us to this point.

Don't be sad.

They have agreed to gather at the academy after five years during Dashu season*. (Solar term; typically at the end of July)

I hope you and Xiao Wu can come.

Sure. I will do my best to be there.

Lady, that Great Master has left.

His music might not be in tune but it sounds a lot calmer now.

He is a good teacher indeed.

Love is separated by mountains and oceans but it can also overcome it.

True love only ends at death.

What are you talking about death? Say something auspicious.

Er Ming, water the Blue Silver Grass.

Brother Da Ming, you've changed.

Do you also think Tang San is a match for Sister Xiao Wu?

A match?

I don't understand.

Brother Da Ming is a bull; he is really stubborn.

Hurry and leave.

I lost.

I know your skills.

You are trying to make me happy.

- That won't do. Let's play another game. - Father,

the imperial physician said your body can't take it anymore.

You should rest.

You've helped me manage the empire recently.

You must be exhausted.

Sharing your burden is what I should do as your son.

I heard the palace is preparing a birthday banquet for you.

You've never liked something like this.

I'm sure you have something else in mind by doing something so grand.

Nothing gets past you.

Do you still remember the Clear Sky Clan disciple who obtained the Demon Domain?

Of course, I remember.

How wonderful would it be if Heaven Dou Empire could get a talent like him?

I share the same idea with you.

Moreover, I think that person is in Moon Pavilion.

Why?

After what Martial Soul Hall did there,

I realized the cautious Lady Yue was nervous.

That is one of the reasons.

Two. I heard Moon Pavilion has a mysterious masked student recently.

He has extraordinary skills in playing the guqin.

Lady Yue treats him well, too.

So, I think he is that person.

If Lady Yue purposely hides the fact,

I'm sure she has her reasons.

Don't ask her directly.

Of course.

I want to invite him to the birthday banquet.

I heard people who escaped from Netherworld City

like to fight and get angry easily due to killing intent.

This is a good opportunity to test him.

Even if we make a mistake, it won't hurt our harmony.

If I realize it's him, you can invite him to serve Heaven Dou Empire.

You are thorough.

In that case, I will issue an edict to invite him

so Lady Yue can't decline.

I'll rely on you for what happens after that.

Thank you, Father.

[Invitation for Lady Yue to attend Crown Prince's birthday banquet]

I can't decline His Majesty's edict. [Birthday Banquet]

There must be something fishy going on.

When I was studying at Shrek Academy,

I met the Crown Prince before.

He is a very smart and sharp person.

When Hu Liena came looking for me, he was around.

Perhaps he discovered some flaws.

It has been many years since I last met the Crown Prince.

I'm no longer the same person.

I don't think he can recognize me easily.

It's fine even if he recognizes you.

The Crown Prince appreciates a talent

and wants to use this opportunity to recruit you and find out who your support is.

It's the same reason as to why His Majesty invited me to Moon Pavilion.

He is just not doing it on the surface.

I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family.

I have my own things to do.

In that case, think of this banquet as your test.

If you pass, I will let you leave and find your father.

What do you think? Are you happy?

I guess.

However, I hope you don't cry too loudly when I leave.

Otherwise, the servants might need to put lotus seeds in their ears again.

Now that you mention it, I've started to regret it now.

Why don't I keep you here for a while longer?

I take back what I said.

Where are you going?

To find someone to make a new outfit for the banquet.

[Thank you]

This brat.

Congratulations on your birthday, Your Highness.

I find you familiar.

Have we met somewhere before?

If I met someone as handsome and noble as Your Highness,

I would surely remember you if we'd met.

It's a pity that we didn't get to know each other sooner.

It's not too late to know each other now.

I heard you are good at music.

Why not perform a song?

Sorry for embarrassing myself then.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

When I studied with you at Moon Pavilion,

you played as if you were using a saw.

Don't play. Come and drink with me.

Fourth Prince,

I am still inexperienced, but I can't bring myself to decline His Highness' invitation.

No matter how I play, just think of it as making it fun for the others.

Don't you know what's good for you?

Don't think you are a noble just because you have a better outfit.

Lady Yue is just a female teacher Father hired.

Do you think she can teach you well?

- Come. - His Majesty is the ruler of Heaven Dou Empire.

All of us are equal.

We are all his people.

Fourth Prince, drinking too much is bad for your health.

Please take care.

Someone,

send Fourth Prince back to his bedroom.

Yes.

I'm not leaving! I haven't drunk enough!

Let go! Let go!

- Lady Yue... - I'm not leaving!

Allow me to apologize on behalf of my fourth brother.

It's all right, Your Highness.

Those were drunken words.

Why not calm ourselves and listen to the song?

All of them are Soul Masters.

What you need to learn now is to control your killing intent.

Don't harm Xiao Wu.

It'll only benefit the cultivation if you help her calm her emotions.

Great!

- He played so well. - Yeah.

As expected from Lady Yue's disciple.

Thank you for your praise, Your Highness.

It was just a solo. I didn't expect many people to play in harmony.

I'm sure you arranged for this, Your Highness.

Please forgive me, Lady.

I guess you are not just good at playing musical instruments.

I intended to test you just now. It was a little abrupt.

Those musicians were Soul Kings.

Their martial souls are musical instruments.

Since you weren't at a disadvantage, I'm sure you are better than them.

I wonder which Soul Master academy you studied in?

Are you willing to serve our hall?

Thanks for your appreciation, but I've loved being free since young and don't enjoy being tied down.

I came to Moon Pavilion just to stay for a short while. Soon, I will leave.

I have no choice but to apologize to Your Highness.

Your Highness, you don't know this. Before coming here, he already said his farewell to me.

He is still young. He only thinks about the person he loves.

I'm afraid he is not suitable to hold any responsibility. He will disappoint you.

In that case, I won't say anything else.

You chased me away in front of all the guests. I'm so embarrassed!

Father, you must seek justice for me.

- Father. - Xue Beng.

Your Second and Third Brother passed away early, so I doted on you.

However, I spoiled you instead.

Right now, you even dare cause trouble at your brother's birthday banquet.

This is ridiculous.

Father.

Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine.

What medicine?

That quack can't treat Father after so long. I'll punish you!

What's going on?

Nonsense! If you do this again, I won't allow you to see Father anymore.

- Someone! - Your Highness.

- Take him away. - Yes!

Father! I'm not leaving!

I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving!

Imperial Physician Yang, bring another dose of medicine. I will serve Father.

Yes.

Father.

Don't treat Xue Beng like that.

He might be naughty but he is your only sibling.

I spoiled him.

In the future, you should educate him slowly.

I understand, Father.

When you were playing in front of the Crown Prince,

the musicians used their musical instruments to attack you with their soul power

but you didn't block with your soul power directly. You changed the music instead.

You hid your soul power in the musical notes

to play in harmony with them and cleared the attack.

Well done.

I passed.

Your performance was full of love and longing.

Even if I want you to stay,

I won't be able to.

I must find Father first before I can find her.

She has waited for me for too long.

I can't let her wait any longer.

What is her name? How old is she?

What do her parents do? Has my second brother met her?

Her name is Xiao Wu. I promise you will see her soon.

As for the other questions, I will answer them when the time comes.

Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is good. The name is pleasant.

That's right, Aunt.

Do you know the Fourth Prince well?

The fourth prince?

He is the child that His Majesty worries about most.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sent to my place. What's wrong?

I don't think he tried to cause trouble on purpose.

He realized the Crown Prince was testing me

and purposely helped me overcome the situation.

But perhaps, I was overthinking as well.

If you have doubts, I can help you observe him.

Go and find your father.

I will be waiting at the clan for you to come back

See you, Aunt.

Let go! I'm the Fourth Prince! Who dares to stop me?

Let go!

Let me go. I'm not drunk.

Fourth Prince?

Fourth Prince.

Nonsense. If you do this again, I won't allow you to see Father anymore.

Sorry to trouble you with this.

Don't worry. Just leave it to me.

I'm still doing the accounts. What are we doing here?

Rongrong, you are here. Come and try my cooking.

Are you cooking or wrecking the house?

Here you go.

Why are you cooking for no reason?

Come. Let's eat over there.

You have had a bad appetite recently.

I remember you loved eating your mother's noodles when you were young.

I made it from memory.

Try it.

What do you think?

It does taste like Mother's noodles when I was young.

However, it can't get a perfect score. You get a pass.

Yes. I'll make it for you tomorrow if you like it.

Forget it. You made a mess and the clan has to pay for the kitchen's repair.

Since Xiao Ao left, this is my first time seeing you smile.

After all, I can't be happy for no reason every day.

Because the person who makes you happy is no longer here, right?

The clan has its own rules,

but I can clearly see that you like Xiao Ao a lot.

I regret it.

But if you want, I can send someone to find Xiao Ao immediately.

Leaving the clan is his choice.

Before he achieves his goal, he won't come back.

He is very talented.

I believe he will become the best Support Soul Master.

One that can hold himself against a Battle Soul Master.

Then, it'll be hard on you while waiting for him to come back.

Perhaps this is the best arrangement.

Moreover, I'm not just waiting and doing nothing.

We will improve and grow together.

I am also very busy. I...

It's bad. Something terrible is going to happen.

Why are you so anxious?

I asked Grandpa Sword to give me a private lesson.

If I'm late, I have to run 50 kilometers.

I'm leaving, Father.

Wait. A private lesson?

Father, the noodles were delicious.

But don't make them again.

I can only protect myself if I find an attacking method that suits me.

Grandpa Sword, stop giving me a handicap.

Again.

Be careful. It will be faster after this.

I can't hide forever.

Do you know where your advantage is?

It's dodging.

You dodged a few moves wonderfully just now.

So, you must practice dodging

and use it as your shield and even your weapon.

Make it unique.

The thing that Xiao Ao and I assumed to be a weakness

can actually become a strength of ours?

I must practice dodging more

and utilize this skill to the extreme.

You are wise.

People think escaping is a sign of weakness,

but they don't know that a controlled escape is also an important way.

During the process of dodging, you can bait,

set traps and even prepare a formation.

Yes. As long as I'm still alive, I'll be able to make a comeback.

All right. Take this attack next!

♫ Take on the future ♫

Take this with you.

Let it accompany you and protect you in my place.

You must come back safely.

Otherwise,

I will ignore you forever.

There's no soul bone.

A Support Soul Master killed an ice bear with that weapon alone.

This person is extraordinary.

We failed to get a soul bone on this journey,

but I'm sure we can get a good price for his weapon.

However, he still doesn't trust us now.

We'll wait until he lets his guard down.

Amazing.

We worked together to create this item.

However, this is the only one.

Xiao Ao, as Support Soul Masters, both you and Rongrong need this.

However, Rongrong has the clan's protection.

So, you should keep this.

I hate it.

I wished I wasn't a Battle Soul Master.

Why don't you get rid of your martial soul and let Brother San beat you up?

What do you think?

I'll keep forging objects.

- I'll go with you. - Sure.

There will be times when the clan can't protect you.

You should keep it.

I will just keep relying on you.

No, Brother San said you need it more.

I don't need it.

I need you.

I'm getting goosebumps.

I'll go and help Brother San.

I can't take it as well.

Come on, Zhuqing. Let's go to work, too.

Zhuqing, I'll go with you.

Xiao San, let me help you add coal.

What are you trying to do?

You were pretending to sleep indeed.

I'm interested in that weapon of yours.

Give it to me and I promise I won't kill you.

Impossible.

It's just an item that is slightly valuable.

Why sacrifice your life over something like that?

You are wrong.

This item is more important than my life.

I joined the team to train and find a suitable soul ring.

I'm not interested in a soul bone,

but other people shouldn't covet my item as well.

Since this team doesn't want me in it, I'll leave.

If you want to go, leave your item behind.

After him!

A Support Soul Master like you trying to escape from us?

Dream on.

It's a fierce beast.

We have gone too deep. Retreat!

Boss. Boss!

Save me.

Save me. I beg you to save me.

I am the only son in my family.

My parents are sick in bed.

I joined this team to earn some commission.

I was wrong. Please save me.

I can't help you.

Wait.

I am a seven-ring Battle Soul Master.

My martial soul is the Snow Demon Bear.

I can see that you are not an ordinary Support Soul Master.

Let's team up. I'll be helpful to you.

No!

I can't die.

I can't die.

Father!

I've been waiting for you to come back.

Father, who was it?

Who injured you so badly?
