"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 17]

You are overthinking.

- Fatty! - Fatty! - Do you think Star Luo

doesn't have an elite unit to protect the crown prince?

Even the strongest elite unit will still have a flaw.

Imperial Father, calm down.

What Ma Hongjun wants to say is that the ancestral system seems to be protecting the empire

but it is actually protecting one's authority.

What Star Luo needs is for the entire empire to be powerful.

The empire's strength is closely related to every citizen of Star Luo,

which includes Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

Your Majesty, if the ancestral system only teaches us to doubt and hate,

how will Mubai show concern for the empire when he ascends the throne?

I've become who I am because Brother is excellent.

He shouldn't be an obstacle in my journey to obtain power.

On the contrary, he is my motivation. He motivates me to always be strong.

Your Majesty, Dai Weisi and I might not be as excellent as Mubai and Zhuqing,

but I am Level 56, and Dai Weisi is Level 57.

Please let us keep our martial soul and let us continue serving Star Luo.

Imperial Father.

Your Majesty, please don't get rid of our martial soul, and let us keep our power.

- Your Majesty. - If we fight together,

Star Luo will have two powerful imperial members in the future.

Please give the future of Star Luo a chance, Your Majesty.

Fine.

The four of you will work together and block my attacks in 30 minutes.

Let me see if the four of you will fight together through life and death

or fight against each other.

That kid should join.

You talk big. I hope you are good at fighting as well.

Am I on the blacklist?

Brother, I will repay you in my next life.

I thought my presence in Star Duo Forest would scare other soul beasts.

Today, I realized Fierce Beasts can help them, too.

Did I do something incredible?

Of course. Er Ming, you did great.

Star Dou Forest is our home.

We have the responsibility to restore it.

However, our work is not done yet.

The beast stampede might be over,

but I saw many low-level beasts get hurt

and lose their habitat.

Not only do we have to treat them, but we also need to find them a new home.

I will obey your plans.

After discussing with the elders of Elder Hall,

I will announce to all of you important decisions regarding Martial Soul Hall.

One. I have confirmed my heir.

I announce that Hu Liena will be granted the title of Holy Lady of Martial Soul Hall.

She will be my heir.

I've recruited Soul Masters previously to train them

and make them into an army for this day.

Martial Soul Hall might be the largest Soul Master group

but there are still Soul Masters and Soul Master clans that disobey us.

If Clear Sky Clan emerges again and works with the Upper Three Clans,

it will place Martial Soul Hall in a dangerous place.

For the benefit of Soul Masters around the world,

after being postponed for 20 years, Martial Soul Hall will commence

Operation Clan Hunt.

I want all Soul Masters on Douluo Continent to serve Martial Soul Hall.

Every Martial Soul Hall Soul Master Army is on standby outside.

From now on, everyone must act according to Her Holiness' orders.

There must be no mistakes.

- Yes! - Yes!

- Your Holiness. - Your Holiness.

All of you are lucky because you will soon witness the making of history.

Every one of you here is a warrior of Martial Soul Hall.

You will help me realize my ambition.

- We pledge to serve Your Holiness until we die! - We pledge to serve Your Holiness until we die!

- We pledge to serve Your Holiness until we die! - We pledge to serve Your Holiness until we die!

It's time to change the Douluo Continent.

Boss Dai, your imperial father is not holding back!

Fatty, rest for a while. This is my battle with Zhuqing.

If you admit your mistake now, I can let bygones be bygones.

All of you will pay the price for being stubborn.

You've exhausted your stamina. Doing another fusion is the same as committing suicide.

How foolish!

- Imperial Brother! - Mubai!

Let us change Star Luo and make it prosper as siblings.

All right.

White Tiger Annihilation Kill

Time's up.

Boss Dai.

Congratulations, Your Majesty. Star Luo is blessed to have such excellent princes.

You actually hurt me.

I see another possibility.

I'm willing to try again for Star Luo's sake.

Boss Dai! You won!

All of you have grown a lot.

You are strong and courageous.

Star Luo needs new-generation heirs like you.

You, too.

Mubai and Zhuqing are lucky to have a friend like you.

Not only are you capable,

but you are also wise.

Your Majesty, you are the first person who praised me for having brains.

Here's a toast to you. Cheers.

If you want, you can become Star Luo's Imperial Preceptor when you've grown in the future.

Imperial Preceptor?

I dare not accept the role.

It is my honor to be recruited by Your Majesty.

However, I've promised my friends to reunite at Shrek Academy.

Since it's almost time, I should leave.

Please allow me to excuse myself.

We all have different ambitions. I won't force you.

If you feel like coming back one day, Star Luo will always welcome you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Mubai and I have to fulfill this five-year promise as well.

After the end of the Soul Master Tournament,

it has been a long time since we last saw our teachers and friends.

Please allow us to be there, Your Majesty. We will go back with Ma Hongjun.

The friends you spoke about must be the ones from the Shrek Seven Devils.

Yes, Imperial Father. If you allow us to go out,

you can let Imperial Brother assist you in your duties temporarily.

I'm sure all your other friends have grown into outstanding people.

This journey is a good thing and it is well-arranged, too.

However, trouble seems to be looming on the horizon.

All of you must remain vigilant.

We will remember your instructions.

In that case, let Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuuun assist me in my duties temporarily.

- I will do my best. - I will do my best.

Mubai. Zhuqing.

In the future, both of you must take on governance duties.

So, you must see and think more on this trip. Gather more experience.

If you can bring the other talents of Shrek Academy back to Star Luo, it will be best.

I understand.

Come. I'll send you off with this cup of wine today.

Have a safe journey!

Imperial Father, you've drunk a lot.

I feel happy today. It's fine to drink more.

Mubai, from a certain aspect,

you've surpassed me.

I can't accept that.

Today, all of you showed me another possibility.

I suddenly understand that ancestral customs are also a trial.

Apart from killing, there's another choice to become stronger together.

Why must you kill?

If we can change the ancestral customs, maybe we can avoid more tragedies.

Killing is necessary.

People will only think about achieving a breakthrough when a sword hangs above them.

Crown princes from the past did not understand the meaning behind it.

However, you and Dai Weisi are different. Both of you made me believe...

that Star Luo's future will be better.

Did the emperor really say that?

Zhuqing, I know you've been worried that when we have children,

they will also struggle in this cruel competition.

But you must believe me.

Once I ascend the throne, I must abolish these customs

so the descendants of Star Luo in the future will never be restricted anymore.

Star Luo's ancestral customs have been around for years.

Many people will be involved if it changes. It cannot be changed easily.

However, Imperial Father wavered today.

Let me ask you.

What if your son likes someone who doesn't have Spirit Cat Martial Soul in the future?

Do you want him to go for his true love

or give up his freedom in love so that Star Luo's power doesn't fall?

Do you think my son will have such bad taste?

You really look like your father at this moment.

People cannot control the change in their consciousness sometimes.

In that case, you must remind me. Remind me to remember our conversation today.

I can't become the person I hate.

Remember how hard the four of us worked today and change the ancestral customs little by little.

Saving our brother and sister is the first step.

With you by my side, I will not hesitate to try everything.

[Shrek Academy]

What do the three of you want?

If you want to enroll in our academy, please leave.

You are already too late.

Our junior is such a sweet talker. He is calling us young.

Who is your junior?

If you have nothing else, please leave.

Are the three headmasters here?

The academy rules state outsiders are not allowed in.

If you want to see the headmaster, you must register.

It has been five years since we left. No wonder you don't know us.

Junior, just say Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun are back.

The headmaster will surely welcome us.

If you are Dai Mubai, I am Senior Tang San.

Stop pretending. You are the 23rd batch of people who impersonated them

and tried to sneak into our academy.

If you know what's good for you, you better leave now.

Otherwise, we'll chase you away.

Someone impersonated us?

It seems like we are still quite influential.

You still won't leave?

Otherwise, don't blame us for not being kind.

This junior is so arrogant.

How dare you offend Boss Dai. You are quite brave.

Why don't you see if I'm an impostor or not?

This... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?

- Quick! Tell the headmaster! - Let's go!

- Rongrong! - Zhuqing!

- I missed you so much. - Fatty.

- I missed you, too. - Why are you trying to get between a girl's hug?

- I will beat you up. - Wait!

All of you might be in pairs

but I had an unforgettable relationship as well when I was traveling the continent.

That lady in white still appears in my dreams sometimes.

Fatty, wake up.

Why don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth.

Rongrong, why did you come back alone? Where's Xiao Ao?

I don't know if he will be here or not.

What's that?

[Shrek Academy]

- Let's go in and take a look. - All right.

- Mice! - What's going on?

- Fatty. - Let go!

What's that?

[Shrek Academy]

Boss, you are so stingy.

You knew the academy was infested by flying mice for some time now,

but you wouldn't pay to exterminate them and had to wait until they came back.

Then, you purposely forced the mice out with smoke. You're so stingy.

Since they came back, we must prepare some work for them.

Let me see who is pretending to be Shrek Seven Devils.

- Kids! - Teacher!

It's you indeed.

What do you think?

As expected. You devils are amazing.

You dealt with this cleanly.

Why do I feel like I was being used?

Trust your judgment. You are right.

Headmaster, you are still good at exploiting your students.

Do you feel back at home immediately?

I met Xiao San and told him about the time we would be gathering. Hopefully he will be here.

Really? That's great.

Why don't I see Xiao Ao?

Oscar, hurry up if you want to absorb it.

When we recover, we still want to touch the soul bone.

A Mirror Image Beast that has 20,000 years of cultivation.

I hope you can give me the soul skill I wish for.

There's a soul bone.

A skull soul bone?

We are rich!

Hao Te!

What are you doing?

Same old rules. Go!

You have the soul bone now.

Leave the commission behind and we will disband.

Haven't you heard about my title of Tempest Wolf?

Besides the people who I've brought up, no one can take a cent away from me.

You must also give back what you take!

Kill them!

Xiao Ao, run. I will hold them off.

That won't do. I haven't shown my skills.

A Support Soul Master? I can even kill an eight-ring Soul Master.

Men, go have fun with him.

You have another attack?

- Xiao Ao. - Leave me here. Go after them.

Farewell, Tempest Wolf.

Martial Soul Skill Copy?

Rongrong, I've succeeded.

Keep it. It's yours now.

Sell it for some money and do some safe business.

You should absorb it. It will help you.

Brother, what are you doing?

Didn't you come here to find treasures?

Brother, don't argue with me. I owe you my life.

This is just a soul bone.

The soul ring and a soul bone of the same soul beast can achieve its maximum effect

when they are absorbed together.

Don't you want to become stronger for a girl?

Why are you being corny so suddenly?

Don't hand it to me. Just take it.

I can pursue my woman without your help.

Actually, I'm giving this soul bone to you for a personal reason.

This is all I can achieve in my life,

but I've never seen a Food Soul Master as excellent as you.

You might become the legendary Food Titled Soul Master.

You can call me your brother. I'll rely on you in the future.

If you are stronger, I will have a stronger support.

Actually, today is the day we arranged to meet.

Not just her.

I was also supposed to meet my other friends.

However, I'm not strong enough and can't go back for now.

Your sixth soul skill helped you change your fate.

If you absorb it, you can go back and find them.

Here. I'll protect you.

Xiao Ao always looks joyful, but he is very serious about his relationship with you.

He spent more effort than anyone else in his cultivation

- to be worthy of you. - That's right.

So, I totally understand his choice.

I know he won't break his promise.

He isn't here because he isn't well-prepared.

You guys must punish him when he comes back.

- We won't forgive him easily. - We won't forgive him easily.

Stop causing trouble. When the time comes, she will regret it.

Zhuqing.

Don't talk about our change.

What do you think about the academy? The gate is more majestic.

Yes.

Headmaster, you've collected a lot of fees, right?

Since all of you became the champions, the fees did increase by a little.

I knew he was greedy.

Hey, don't talk nonsense.

I spent all my money on repairing the academy.

I've renovated the practice arena.

It's very beautiful now.

Should I take you there?

- Sure! - Sure!

Look! This is the practice arena you used.

♫ Driven by dreams, the youths have set off on a journey ♫

♫ Breaking through uncharted storms ♫

♫ The twin Martial Souls rewrite their fate ♫

♫ The hidden power of food ♫

We had a hard time when we were training,

but this is the place we miss the most after we left.

We have too many memories here.

Dean, I can't see anything.

You can see it later.

Let's talk about your current level now.

Mubai, you first.

Level 63, Soul Emperor.

Amazing.

Level 61, Soul Emperor.

Great.

Report. I am Level 61 as well.

Incredible.

Ma Hongjun, what about you?

Headmaster, I... Level 57.

- Louder. - Level 57!

Perfect!

Let's have a bet.

Let's guess the levels of those who aren't here.

Xiao Ao has love as his motivation.

I guess he is at least Level 58.

Star Dou Forest is the best place for cultivation.

Xiao Wu should be Level 59 now.

As for Tang San... Level 60.

Today, I'll take you on your bet.

I'm guessing that Xiao Wu is Level 60 now.

Headmaster, you are getting better and better.

You can even make money from people who aren't here.

What is recorded in that notebook of yours?

The devils are too good.

It's a waste not to make a commercial out of them.

♫ Change the direction fate had in store ♫

- Seven Devils! - Seven Devils!

They are your best role models!

As expected.

The headmaster is a genius in business.

Although not all of you are here,

the seven of you are a symbol of Shrek Academy.

Since all of you have returned, don't waste your time here.

Why not contribute to the academy?

After a quick calculation,

it is time for the headmaster to milk all of our remaining value out of us.

- After all, this is the headmaster whom we are familiar with. - Right.

Look what you are saying about me.

You don't know.

Winning the Soul Master Tournament helped advertise the academy.

Many students came coming in.

Since you came back this time,

why not display your ability in front of the academy's students

to show them the Shrek Academy Devils' standard?

Seven Devils! [Shrek Academy]

Seven Devils! [Shrek Academy]

Do your best! [Welcome back, Seven Devils]

Go. This is your home ground today.

Teacher, you are thoughtful.

With the mask in hand, everything feels right.

The mask is not bad.

I have to record it and manufacture 100 sets.

Do your best!

Do your best! [Senior Dai Mubai is handsome]

[Shrek's Seven Devils are invincible]

Five years ago, the Shrek Seven Devils represented the academy

and became the champions of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

They brought glory to the academy.

Five years later, they became stronger.

So, today's exhibition match is a match for you to motivate yourselves.

I hope all of you can perform to the best of your potential.

- Great! - Great!

- Do your best! - Do your best!

- Do your best! - Do your best!

Boss, should we go easy on them later?

Just act appropriately.

The match is 30 minutes.

It will be the Four Devils of Shrek Academy versus Headmaster Flander and Teacher Zhao.

Don't go overboard.

Friendship comes before competition.

Rongrong.

Blue Silver Grass?

- You brat! - Brother San.

Brother San!

What's wrong with you two?

What's wrong with giving me a hug after not meeting for so long?

With your weight, it's called a sneak attack.

There are many junior sisters here.

Can you not embarrass me?

Blue Silver Grass?

Don't tell me it's Senior Tang San.

Tang San! [Senior Tang San is handsome]

Tang San!

Brother San, the atmosphere is heating up.

- Shouldn't you fight as well? - Of course.

It has been so long since we last fought together.

Same rules.

Are you going to fight immediately without catching up as soon as you return?

Senior Mubai, do your best!

This kid is strong.

That is Xiao San's Innate Domain. Don't take it forcefully.

Little Devils!

If you lose to me, you must pay up.

Come on.

I'll let you relive your nightmare of physical training.

Mubai, Zhuqing, Fatty. Let's do a cross-attack.

- Rongrong. - Got it.

Amplification!

- Do your best! - Do your best!

So quick.

You...

Old Zhao, I'm sorry.

Is this getting serious?

Don't blame me for going all out then.

Rongrong, give me some amplification and let me show my skills.

The Nine Treasure is famous.

Fifth is attack power! Sixth is amplification!

Amazing!

If my guess is right,

Rongrong's fifth soul skill is attack power amplification.

Her sixth soul skill is attribute amplification.

Wuji is in trouble now.

These kids are really not holding back.

The devils have become stronger.

Don't underestimate them.

An air collision?

Are you trying to destroy the academy?

Are you trying to kill me?

Teacher Zhao! Look out!

Since all of you don't know when to stop,

don't blame me for going all out!

Wait.

Headmaster, look.

All of us have spent a lot of soul power.

If this continues, we won't be able to match two energetic Douluos like you and Teacher Zhao.

We are asking for a truce. What do you think?

I... I can't go on anymore.

I can't fight anymore.

The few of you do know what's best for you.

Teacher Zhao, sorry for offending you.

It's all right.

We were hit by stronger attacks than this in our resistance practice. Right?

Yes.

To have a match of this caliber,

it seems like all of you have grown a lot over the years.

You have grown up indeed.

Get up.

I got hurt for real.

That's all for today's exhibition match.

Seven Devils! [Shrek Seven Devils are invincible]

- Tang San! - Seven Devils!

Mubai and Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill has become more powerful.

That palm strike almost knocked Teacher Zhao's teeth out.

They still need to train for a few more years to knock my teeth out.

Teacher Zhao is right.

We will strive to knock out your teeth soon.

Xiao San.

Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is different from the past.

This cannot be achieved through leveling up your martial soul alone.

What happened?

Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolved a second time.

Martial Soul can evolve a second time?

I didn't expect you to go through so much in the last five years.

What's more unexpected is that your mother

was also a Hectomillenium Soul Beast like Xiao Wu.

What a miraculous fate.

Martial Soul Hall has been looking for Xiao Wu.

I wonder how she's doing at Star Dou Forest.

Bibi Dong did not succeed

and Martial Soul Hall was countered by the Soul Beasts and retreated from Star Dou Forest.

Xiao Wu is still safe for now.

Must Xiao Wu keep hiding her whole life?

Of course not.

When Xiao Wu enters her mature stage,

she can leave Star Dou Forest with a slight cover.

Even a Titled Douluo won't be able to discover her when the time comes.

I wanted to find Xiao Wu before coming to meet all of you,

but the promised time was near,

so I came to meet all of you before going to find Xiao Wu.

Xiao San, what are you still waiting for?

You've seen all of us. Go and bring Xiao Wu back.

Yes, Brother San. Don't waste time here.

We will celebrate properly when Xiao Wu returns.

No matter how much he misses Xiao Wu,

you should still let him eat before going on his journey.

The headmaster is right.

Brother San, bring this with you and eat it on your way.

Time is of the essence.

Xiao San, come back soon.

I thought all of you would miss me.

It seems like I was overthinking.

Will you already be back at Star Luo with Boss Dai when Xiao Wu comes back?

We...

We will wait here for Xiao San and Xiao Wu to come back.

Yes. We won't go back now.

It'd be better if Xiao Ao came back as well.

I hope Xiao Ao is tactful and comes back soon.

Then, the Shrek Seven Devils will be reunited for real.

Well, think of this as a farewell for me.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheers. Let's hope the Seven Devils can reunite soon.

Reunite soon!

Reunite soon!
