"Breaking through the Encirclement" by Zhang Qi

♫ 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 ♫

♫ Good and bad, right and wrong ♫

♫ Defeat or be defeated ♫

♫ Fight with my all, leave no regrets ♫

♫ Break through the encirclement ♫

♫ It doesn't matter who my opponent is in the arena ♫

♫ To become the pride of Douluo Continent ♫

♫ The fleeting dreams of life are easily shattered ♫

♫ So why not face it boldly, just this once ♫

♫ Fierce storms and raging thunder ♫

♫ Burn me, yet refine determination ♫

♫ 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 ♫

[The Land of Warriors] [Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "Douluo Continent"]

[Episode 15]

It's a 10,000-year soul ring.

Sister Xiao 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 Grass around us was 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 guess I slightly admire him.

Thankfully he was there.

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.

Da Ming appears to be stubborn, but he's soft on the inside.

What a miserable scream. What happened?

Those scums from Martial Soul Hall actually triggered a beast stampede.

I'm sure Star Dou Forest is now in complete chaos.

But the beast stampede made Martial Soul Hall hesitate.

They never appeared again after that.

No, they were here for me. They will find a chance to return.

Star Dou 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 Xiao San and the rest were here, Xiao San would be in charge of controlling,

Fatty and I with attack, Xiao Ao and Rongrong as support.

Two Soul Saints would be 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 Star Luo's future.

I have it all planned.

When we meet again, I'll use my position as 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 intruded 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.

We dare not act recklessly. 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 Headmaster Flander couldn't afford to feed you and threw you out.

The headmaster may be stingy, but not to the point where he'd let him starve.

I bet it's mostly because Fatty was sloppy in his training and a bad influence on the juniors.

So Teacher 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. - In a pitiful state.

Stop completing each other's sentences.

If I weren't afraid of ruining the Star Luo imperial family's reputation,

I would have beaten those guards into a pulp.

We have laws in Star Luo.

If you were imprisoned because of a fight, Mubai and I wouldn't be able to help you.

I see. Returning to the imperial 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 Star Luo'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 Xiao San and Xiao 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 Star Luo City?

Who?

Chrysanthemum Douluo.

- Bibi Dong's subordinate, Chrysanthemum Douluo? - Yes.

How did you find out? Where is he now?

Well, this is what happened.

During my travels,

I suddenly realized that people 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 Star Luo City.

What are you looking around for?

Your full name?

Ma...

Yingjun*. (Means handsome)

Ma Yingjun.

Ma'am, didn't the recruitment state we're here to be a teacher at Star Luo 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]

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 won't even know how you died.

Turn this way.

From now on, you're a part of Martial Soul Hall in Star Luo City.

Next, you all need to prepare for 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.

Chrysanthemum Douluo? 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 armor I brought.

Act according to Her Holiness' instructions.

Yes. Then we—

Sir, 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 my face got injured.

Thankfully Martial Soul Hall didn't mind my humble background and took me in.

- Get out. - Yes, of course.

Chrysanthemum Douluo sent so much armor.

They must be up to no good.

You burned all their armor?

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, that you'd make 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, Martial Soul Hall is recruiting soldiers.

Could these two things be related?

It's still uncertain for now.

But 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. We need to investigate further.

After it gets dark, take us to Martial Soul Hall.

Once everything is clear, we'll report it to Imperial Father.

I knew it. There's no free lunch from the Star Luo imperial 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 Martial Soul Hall 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 Heaven Dou and Star Luo's strength.

I need to know your plan.

What you need to do is stay within the Heaven Dou imperial family, and cooperate when I require it.

The rest is not for you to question.

The Emperor of Heaven Dou 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 Heaven Dou imperial family.

Without my summons, do not show up here.

Could this small village used to be the greatest clan in the world?

Uncle, why are you here and why are you wearing a mask?

Uncle?

Are you talking to me?

All right, then. You can call me whatever you want.

Kid, can you tell me the way to the Clear Sky Clan?

I've never heard of it.

That 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 uncle 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 Star Dou Forest,

you will receive a warning from them when a large number of Soul Masters

from Martial Soul Hall come again.

When that happens, evacuate the soul beasts to avoid triggering a larger beast stampede.

After arranging this plan, are you going to leave again?

- I... - Sister Xiao 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, Sister Xiao Wu hasn't reached the six-ring Mature Phase yet.

Leaving this chaotic Star Dou Forest and staying out of trouble might not be a bad idea.

Er Ming, you've just said that Star Dou Forest is in chaos now.

How can I leave?

Really? You're not leaving anymore?

Martial Soul Hall is here because of me.

I'm also responsible for the beast stampede.

I would never leave when Star Dou Forest is in such chaos.

Then what do you plan to do?

I need to visit the peripheral and hybrid regions first before figuring out what to do next.

Sister Xiao 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 tremble 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.

Er Ming, if you were really hoarse, you wouldn't be able to cough.

Both of you can rest assured.

I've advanced to Soul King. I'm quite strong now.

Sister Xiao Wu, remember to have the skylark deliver a message if you're in danger.

Please be extremely careful.

This way. Come this way.

Brother Tang Long, over here.

He's right here.

All right. You can go now.

[Tang Long, Clear Sky Clan 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, Clear Sky Clan Disciple]

Which family are you from?

Take off your mask and let me see you clearly.

My Aunt is Tang Yuehua. She asked me to come home.

[Tang Yu, Clear Sky Clan Disciple] 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 Brother Long.

Enough chattering.

You can return to the clan.

But if you're truly the son of Tang Hao, the sinner, you must be shackled.

Follow me.

Keep up!

Brother Long doesn't seem to like Tang San.

Of course. Think about it.

Second Aunt has been praising Brother 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, Brother Long will surely lecture us.

We better hurry.

This Clear Sky Clan disciple's footwork is indeed the same as Father's.

[Clear Sky Clan]

Tang Yu! Tang Tian!

Are you all right, Tang Yu?

- What about you, Tang Tian? - I'm all right, Brother Long.

Where's Tang San?

Good brother, 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 Grass?

Second Aunt spoke so highly of you.

I had my doubts at first. Now, I'm really convinced.

Let's go. The clan is right up there.

Come on.

Father, I'm home.

This must be your first time home.

Hurry, take out our clan's token, and open the door.

Token? What token?

Only direct disciples of our clan 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 clan leader calls for an assembly.

The back courtyard is even bigger.

That's where we train.

Our clan 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 clan, you cannot hold back.

Thank you for the advice, Big Brother.

Let's go report to the clan leader. 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. - Xiao San.

[Tang Xiao, Leader of Clear Sky Clan]

You're Tang San?

I, Tang San, greet the clan leader.

Eldest Brother!

Under such immense soul power pressure from me,

you remain completely unharmed.

Xiao 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 owes to the clan,

hoping to make amends for the harm he caused.

Get up.

How could you let a child carry your responsibilities?

You're already fifty years old, how long are you going to keep running away?

Clan Leader, Father isn't running.

He just feels he can no longer face the clan,

which is why he sent me back to return to our roots

and submit to the clan'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 clan.

Tang Hao...

Tang Hao, he...

Eldest Brother, Second Brother forcibly removed his soul bones from his body.

I owe the clan these two soul bones.

I have failed the Clear Sky Clan.

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 clan,

hoping that it would calm some anger toward him.

It's also a closure for him after fulfilling the responsibilities he left undone.

So, Clan Leader...

After this, you can address me as 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 at the Ice Fire Mouth Spring.

Uncle, don't worry.

Your mother?

After Mother passed away, she transformed into a Blue Silver Grass.

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.

Xiao 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 clan is what you must do.

It's not to repay what your father owes.

It's because you are a part of the clan.

Uncle.

Yuehua, tomorrow we'll hold the ceremony for Xiao San to formally rejoin the clan.

You will handle the arrangement.

Do we need to inform the elders about this?

After all...

Why not just be upfront about it?

Xiao San, remember this.

In the Clear Sky Clan, 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?

Xiao San, look over there.

What are those?

The Clear Sky Clan disciples who died at the hands of Martial Soul Hall.

The Clear Sky Clan, once the leader of the Upper Three Clans

is now in such a dire state after facing Martial Soul Hall.

It's even worse for the smaller clans on the continent now.

At that time, Martial Soul Hall pressured the Clear Sky Clan,

threatening the clan's survival.

That's why we had no choice but to cut ties with your father.

The decline of the Clear Sky Clan also began at that very moment.

Xiao San,

do you know about the Four Single Attribute Tribes?

Father told me they are divided into Strength, Defense, Agility, and Destruction.

When Martial Soul Hall couldn't find the Clear Sky Clan,

they began to harass the four tribes.

In the beginning, the disciples of the Clear Sky Clan went to provide support.

But after the former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, died and Bibi 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 Clear Sky Clan.

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 Clear Sky Clan 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 part 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 loved his wife and son.

The fault is not his. It's all Martial Soul Hall's fault.

But it doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what the elders think.

The Clear Sky Clan 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 Martial Soul Hall's tyranny.

They lost Qian Xunji.

You lost your mother.

But the other faction is led by several elders.

They believe your father abandoned the clan,

which led to the clan's crisis.

The son of the Seventh Elder is buried in this cemetery.

Aunt, don't worry.

I know my return to the clan will face a lot of opposition.

But I will do my best tomorrow.

Xiao 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 clan.

I will help the clan regain its former glory.

Xiao Wu, today I finally realized the responsibility I bear.

Mother didn't have the chance to return to the clan with Father.

I hope that one day, you can accompany me back.

[Martial Soul Hall, Star Luo City]

I set fire to the warehouse in the back courtyard where they store the armor.

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 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 Martial Soul Hall. Your man is not here.

My man is also a Soul Master.

He was recruited by 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'll show it to you.

[Recruitment Notice: Gathering Heroes to a Prosperous Future]

It's a flyer. Martial Soul Hall's flyer.

See this flyer?

The person 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!
