"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 "Soul Land"]

[Episode 18]

Sister Xiao Wu, are you sure this will work?

I have no idea either.

This bracelet was formed by a fraction of Brother San's soul power.

It contains the power of the Blue Silver Emperor.

I'll give it a try.

Sister Xiao Wu, look!

You succeeded.

I never expected I would be able to activate the bracelet left behind by Brother San.

Now, it's much easier to create fences.

They can finally have their own place.

These bunnies lost their parents during the beast horde.

I hope they can grow up safely here.

You always manage to find a solution.

With these, even if danger is coming, we can be notified in time.

But when we're facing a crisis, help from afar is useless.

Also, some of the younger beasts have to be placed separately.

We'll be in trouble if danger occurs in multiple places at the same time.

Yeah. Which of them should I save first if a crisis does hit us?

I got it. Come here.

- Will this work? - It'll definitely work.

Just leave your Hectomillennium Soul Beast scent near the fence.

Other soul beasts wouldn't dare approach this place.

This is what a teacher taught me when I was in a human school.

All right, then. I'll heed your advice.

Er Ming, we have to help a lot of soul beasts settle down later.

You should eat up. You might not have enough.

I can do that.

I'll wait for you outside, then. I'll give you some private space.

Once you're done, let's return to Star Lake.

Let's help these kids to settle down by tonight.

If not, I think Da Ming will suffer a breakdown looking after them the entire night.

Don't worry. I'll be quick.

I'll wait for you outside, then.

Star Dou Forest looks quiet and is in order.

It doesn't seem like there was a beast horde.

Has the forest already recovered from it?

Soft-boned rabbits?

I think Xiao Wu looked like this when she was young.

Something's off.

Why are the younglings living as a herd?

Also, Blue Silver Grass doesn't grow like this naturally.

It's obviously man-made.

Could it be Xiao Wu?

♫ Embracing the faraway you in my dream ♫

I have no idea where you got the feces of a high-level soul beast.

But it does scare off other soul beasts.

Our teacher taught us this when we were in Shrek Academy.

This is your work indeed. You wish to protect them, huh?

Let me upgrade your defense, then.

♫ The night sky sketches the views we saw together ♫

♫ We promised not to disappoint our efforts on the journey ♫

Seems like they're in danger. Which fence is in danger?

♫ With my stubborn faith, I write down a miracle ♫

♫ With my stubborn faith, I write down a miracle ♫

Is it the Blue Silver Emperor?

It's Brother San.

Are you here to look for me? Where are you?

This is the third fence I've discovered.

One has to expend a huge amount of soul power to activate Blue Silver Grass using the bracelet.

I'm sure Xiao Wu has worn herself out trying to restore peace to the forest.

Xiao Wu, leave this to me. Let's work hard together.

Not bad indeed. You guys have grown tremendously in five years.

But as your soul power gets stronger,

it'll get harder and harder for you guys to achieve a breakthrough.

What Mentor said just now perfectly describes what I'm experiencing.

I didn't slack off in my training.

However, my soul power is increasing at an insignificant rate.

Me, too. Mentor, could it be that our previous training methods no longer suit us?

You guys have already graduated and still want me to give extra lessons?

I'll charge you extra for this.

That's simple. Fatty can become one of the teachers here.

That's enough for our tuition fees, right?

Agreed. The academy is my home.

I'll do everything you ask me to do as long as you provide free food and accommodation.

Are you serious? That sounds great!

Come. Let's drink.

Stop messing around.

Rongrong, you were right.

You guys do have to change your training methods.

You have to find a way to push your limits.

This wind is eerily strong. I assume the weather will change drastically later.

Xiao Yi, don't you think the wind is too cold?

Yeah, a little.

There's something strange about the wind.

- Stay here. I'll go and take a leak. - Okay. Go ahead.

Who's there?

Xiao Yi...

There are enemies!

Storm the place.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, your glory and grace have faded.

I'm the first person in Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to refine the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

However, no one in the clan could tell me how to break through my limits.

- Father! - Clan Leader Ning.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is gone.

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan]

Kill all of them!

Martial Soul Hall isn't targeting Heaven Dou.

They're targeting the Soul Master Clans.

Grand Master, I'm afraid the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in danger, too.

- Erlong, let's return to the clan. - Wait!

I'll join you guys. It's chaotic out there.

- You guys should... - We'll defend the academy.

Teachers, don't worry about it.

Father, how many casualties have our clan sustained?

What should we do next?

Once Martial Soul Hall acts, they won't give us a chance to relax.

Therefore, I've decided to relocate the clan from the outskirts to within the city.

We need to seek protection from the royal family of Heaven Dou to stand a chance of surviving.

Let me join you.

You've sustained serious internal injuries.

The clan has plenty of affairs to tend to.

I can look after the wounded and buy medicine for the clan.

- I can also... - You should remain in the academy for now.

It's safest here.

Rongrong, you're the only hope of our clan.

Nothing must happen to you.

Don't worry. I'm still here to support the clan.

Father!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is gone!

Junior Sister? Junior Sister!

Where's Tianheng? Where's Tianheng?

Were they so cruel that they turned their remains into ashes?

Erlong, try to think positively.

Maybe they managed to escape.

[Blue Lightning Tyrant]

Father, sorry for being unfilial. I've brought shame to the clan.

This is your favorite snack. Take it with you.

Your grandfather told me to give it to you before you leave.

No matter what, you're always my son.

Father.

Bibi Dong!

She's very upset now. We should give her some time alone.

We can keep watch outside.

We have to write to His Majesty and report the situation to him.

We think so, too. Martial Soul Hall has already launched their attack.

Star Luo must take precautions.

We have to do something. We can't just let Martial Soul Hall get their way like this.

Rongrong?

Zhuqing. Boss Dai. Fatty.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was suddenly attacked.

I understand that Father wants to protect me.

But this battle concerns the survival of my clan.

I can't keep hiding under everyone's wings.

Will you guys help me out?

Of course, the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has many things to handle.

Even if you don't say anything, we won't just stand idly by.

Anyway, Rongrong, I'll follow all of your arrangements.

[Grave of Late Father, Yu Yuanzhen]

Father, I'll definitely avenge you and our clan.

The soul skill that killed the old clan leader

was none other than Bibi Dong's Death Spider Web Restraint.

Not only did she murder the old clan leader,

she also destroyed his remains and broke his bones!

I must kill this woman today!

- Erlong! Calm down! - Let me go!

You and Xiaogang are the sole survivors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

How can I withstand this?

Not only did she destroy my clan, she also humiliated my elder!

I shall avenge them even if it means I'll die doing it!

Erlong!

We'll definitely avenge them, but this isn't the time.

Brother is right.

If all of us fall now,

no one will avenge them. [Grave of Late Father, Yu Yuanzhen]

But, Xiaogang,

we lost our home!

Ning Fengzhi and the survivors of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan escaped into Heaven Dou City.

But the clan has suffered so much and is no longer what it used to be.

Also, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no survivors.

We've eradicated all members.

What about our men?

After counting our men,

we've lost a total of 7,000 Soul Masters.

The Upper Two Clans do live up to their reputation.

They actually killed 7,000 of my Soul Masters.

Although we've sustained heavy casualties, we got rid of the Upper Two Clans.

Now, there's no leader of the Soul Masters.

No one can stop Martial Soul Hall.

The first step of your plan has been implemented successfully.

It's time to re-capture that soft-boned rabbit again.

This time, you're not allowed to fail.

Yes, Master.

I should've returned here earlier.

What's your next plan?

I'll report the tragedy of the Upper Two Clans to His Majesty.

I'll request permission to train troops.

Martial Soul Hall destroyed the Upper Two Clans with their strength alone.

They're powerful indeed.

If you wish to seek revenge, relying on Heaven Dou is your only way.

I'm not training troops merely to seek revenge on them.

Bibi Dong's ambition is obvious to all now.

She'll definitely target Heaven Dou in the future.

By then, when I see her on the battlefield, I'll avenge both my family and my nation together!

[Grave of Late Father, Yu Yuanzhen | Son, Yu Xiaogang]

Where's Erlong?

She said she was heading back to inspect the clan again.

She's afraid that she might've omitted some of the bodies.

This is bad!

[Blue Lightning Tyrant]

Bibi Dong!

Today, you shall pay for what you did to the Blue Lighting Tyrant Dragon Clan!

How could I forget about you? You actually slipped through our grasp.

I'm going to kill you!

You're too full of yourself.

Xiaogang? Are you here to kill me, too?

You destroyed my clan and killed my father.

- Of course, I'm here to kill you! - Don't waste your breath on her!

Since we're here, let's attack together!

Farting like thunder. Blasting Luo Sanpao!

Your face annoys me.

Erlong!

- What are you trying to do? - Bibi Dong! Hurry and release Erlong!

Xiaogang, surrender to Martial Soul Hall, then I'll release her.

In your dreams! You're the person I hate the most!

How could I let you manipulate me?

I'm the person you hate the most?

Did you forget how your clan belittled and humiliated you?

Did you forget how your clan ostracized you?

I killed all of them for you, yet you say that you hate me?

- All of them were my kin! - Who am I to you, then?

In my heart, you're the best Soul Master in the entire continent.

Even if you don't trust yourself, you have to trust me.

I, Bibi Dong, have very high standards, you know?

You slaughter my kin without mercy. Now, you want to talk about bonds?

You're such a joke!

Hurry and release Erlong!

You chose her, huh?

This is the second time.

Yu Xiaogang, this is the second time you've abandoned me.

I'm the only person who remembers all of the good moments we had together.

Bibi Dong, ask yourself this question truthfully.

Are you sure you can't let go of me?

Or yourself from the past?

Do you know how many Soul Masters you've slaughtered?

How many of them will you slay after this?

Hurry and release Erlong!

Slaughtered?

Since when has fate stopped slaughtering me?

There are plenty of people who've hurt me and let me down.

I'm going to trample all of them.

Come at me if you harbor hatred!

Erlong is innocent!

She's not innocent when she's together with you.

Erlong!

Erlong! Erlong!

I'll definitely avenge my clan!

You better come at me now!

Xiaogang, do you know

that I've been leading a freakish life all these years?

You were the only person who made me feel like a human.

There's no difference in killing you or me.

Bibi Dong, the past version of you has already died.

If you don't kill me now,

I shall see you on the battlefield!

Why are you busy again? You didn't sleep a wink last night.

You should eat something and take a break.

We need to treat the wounded when Mubai and Fatty bring back the healers

from outside the city.

You've been working non-stop yourself. You should rest, too.

What is this?

This is the new layout plan for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

The remaining members have been transferred to the city.

However, there are too many wounded.

We're severely lacking in medicine.

The entire clan is in chaos.

It can't go on like this.

Right now, our priority is to tend to the wounded

and distribute the scarce medicinal supplies logically.

Therefore, I plan to set up temporary medical centers in Areas A, B, and C.

Those who cannot be saved will be sent to Area A.

I'll send some men to look after them to reduce as much of their suffering as possible.

Also, we must write down their last wish.

The clan will do everything they can to achieve them.

Those who are seriously wounded will be sent to Area B.

All of the medical supplies will be distributed to them primarily.

We'll do everything we can to make sure they survive.

Those who are lightly wounded will be sent to Area C.

They can ask for medicine themselves and treat each other.

We'll minimize our manpower as much as possible.

Those who aren't wounded don't need to stay in these areas.

They can contribute to the clan by handling daily affairs and defensive duties.

They need to be prepared for Martial Soul Hall's attack.

Rongrong, you finally look like a worthy successor.

I know you're upset and angry.

We'll help you seek revenge.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will definitely rise again.

Clan Leader Ning, you...

I'm fine. Our audience with His Majesty is more important.

Please notify the crown prince that Clan Leader Ning and I have something important to report to him.

We have to see His Majesty today no matter what.

Under His Highness's command, His Majesty shall not see anyone today.

You two should leave.

Your Highness.

Clan Leader Ning. Grand Master.

I've heard about the tragedy of the Upper Two Clans.

Please accept my condolences.

We came here to seek His Majesty to discuss a countermeasure.

The two clans were slaughtered for no reason.

Martial Soul Hall hunted them down like nobody's business.

We're also worried about the safety of Heaven Dou's royal family.

But you see, His Majesty is in a daze now.

Even if you do meet him, I'm afraid a discussion will prove difficult.

In a daze?

When did that happen?

Your Majesty, you're awake.

Imperial Physician, how long have I been unconscious?

It's been quite some time.

Here, help me up.

His Majesty needs to rest and recuperate now.

Since you two have urgent matters to discuss, please follow me to my study room.

- Your Highness. - Let them in.

How dare Martial Soul Hall do such a thing?

Both Clan Leader Ning and Grand Master are trusted ministers of Heaven Dou.

The Upper Two Clans are pillars of our empire as well.

It's obvious that she's provoking us.

I command millions of Soul Masters.

I will never let her get her way.

Summon all of my subjects here. We shall discuss war.

Your Majesty, please take care of your health.

Your Majesty, I also wish I could charge into Martial Soul Hall right now.

But in reality, instead of facing them now,

we should hide our strength and bide our time.

Hide our strength and bide our time?

Grand Master, do you have no confidence in the army of Heaven Dou?

Your Majesty, please pardon me.

My clan was annihilated.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was devastated as well.

I infer that Martial Soul Hall still commands 20,000 powerful Soul Masters.

There are Titled Douluos among their ranks, too.

1 Soul Master can fight up to 100 troops at once.

And Titled Douluos are extremely powerful.

If we go to war now, we'll sustain heavy casualties and lose influence.

Grand Master is right.

Moreover, Martial Soul Hall is supported by the seven elders and other clans.

But Heaven Dou?

We're severely lacking in Soul Masters.

And we don't have any outstanding commanders.

Therefore,

we have to endure.

Your Majesty, we cannot deal with Martial Soul Hall in the blink of an eye.

Relay my order to Marshal Ge Long.

All Soul Masters in the army will

join Heaven Dou's Soul Master Legion.

After that, lead the Soul Master Legion

to Heaven Dou City for immediate training.

Yes, Father.

Bibi Dong has devastated the Upper Two Clans.

Now, the Soul Masters lack a leader.

She'll surely use the chance to expand Martial Soul Hall's influence.

What we need to do now is to be one step quicker than her.

Besides training the Soul Master Legion,

we also need to contact all forces willing to resist Martial Soul Hall's invasion.

Now, the other clans are panicking.

Your Majesty, Grand Master and I intend to gather the other clans under your name

so that we can stop Martial Soul Hall's next operation.

We won't let Bibi Dong get her way.

Excellent.

I'll draft a decree immediately

and request all clans to defend the nation together.

This is the emperor's decree.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were devastated.

The Soul Masters of the continent are in danger.

I hereby issue a special decree to request your help.

I hereby invite all clans to Heaven Dou City to defend our nation against the enemy.

This shall be proclaimed to the world for all to hear.

They're inviting all clans to join hands with them?

That's right, but the Martial Soul Halls have sent their men to intercept

and suppress the clans to join them.

Very good.

Relay my order.

Martial Soul Hall will re-select the Seven Great Clans after one year.

Yes, Your Holiness.

This is just the beginning.

Stop!

For this operation, no soul beasts or soul rings shall be hunted. This is an order.

Even if I don't kill it, it won't be able to survive.

Our target is the Hectomillennium Soft-Boned Rabbit.

Don't cause additional trouble. You cannot afford to disrupt Her Holiness's plan.

Yes, ma'am.

From now on, you're not allowed to move by yourself.

I will tell Xie Yue to search for the soft-boned rabbit's tracks nearby.

Xiao Wu, where exactly are you?

Martial Soul Hall is here.

You have to look after yourself.

Wait for me.

I've found new Blue Silver Emperor fences again.

But I'm always one step late.

I still didn't get to see Brother San.

He did quite a lot of work, huh?

You guys missed out on each other perfectly.

That means you guys aren't destined to see each other.

How come I never realized that Star Dou Forest was this huge in the past?

Watch out!

Stop!

I never expected an intruder to attack the core region with spiritual power.

That's not an attack. It's Brother San's aura.

Tang San?

Is Brother San telling me to leave?

I'm sure he's in danger.

Tang Yin?

Not even a single clan is here?

I can understand why the Lower Four Clans are hesitant to act.

I heard that many of the smaller clans were either intercepted

or divided by the local Martial Soul Hall on the spot.

The devastation of the Upper Two Clans has divided all the clans in the world.

It's hard to unite them again.

Bibi Dong was too ruthless.

This might only be the first step of her plan.

Martial Soul Hall...

Father!

Martial Soul Hall has announced that they'll re-select the Seven Great Clans after one year.

What?

His Majesty was overcome with rage and hadn't recovered from his old injuries yet.

He can only rest and recuperate.

I'm afraid he has no strength to deal with state affairs.

Wait outside.

Yes, Your Highness.

Has His Majesty's health deteriorated to such a condition?

With the current situation, I'll be honest with you two.

Before this, I said that a crook infiltrated the palace and poisoned Father.

Not long after that, the imperial physician found out that Father was struck by a mystical poison.

Mystical poison?

This is a huge deal. How could none of the subjects know about this?

Father didn't want me to reveal it to the rest.

He was afraid that the court's morale might be affected.

Now, Star Luo is raring to act.

Martial Soul Hall has their eyes on us.

If news of this gets out, it'll be detrimental to Heaven Dou.

Luckily, the imperial physician is a poison expert.

He's regulating Father's condition one step at a time.

Your Highness, I'm somewhat of a physician myself.

May I give His Majesty a diagnosis?

Please.

The poison has infiltrated his muscles. This is not the result of a single day's effort.

Could it be that the crook had poisoned him more than once?

I'm afraid so.

But I already have a plan in mind. If that crook comes again, I'll definitely arrest him.

Father's condition will improve as long as we get our hands on the antidote.

It's obvious that the crook harbors ill intentions toward the nation.

He managed to poison His Majesty many times? Your Highness,

don't you think you should investigate all suspicious individuals in the palace?

Grand Master.

Father.

Your Majesty.

You can command Heaven Dou's Soul Master Legion with this.

I hereby appoint you as the Imperial Preceptor.

You can train powerful troops with this token

to defend our nation against the enemies.

Heaven Dou's Soul Master Legion is a crucial national asset.

Your Majesty, don't you think you're being too hasty?

Father, he's right.

The nation is honored to have Grand Master as our Imperial Preceptor.

However, it takes time to form a legion.

Also, you have to go through an official process to appoint someone to a position in the military.

Why don't you wait until you get better...

There's no time to waste.

Get to it immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty. I shall serve you with my life.

Crown Prince is too young.

You guys have to back him up.

Crown Prince, you're too inexperienced.

You need to discuss future affairs with them.

Yes, Father. I'll do my best to protect Heaven Dou.

Imperial Preceptor, please wait.

Imperial Preceptor,

Martial Soul Hall suddenly announced that they would re-select the Seven Great Clans.

They intend to control the Soul Masters of the world.

Judging from Bibi Dong's ambitions,

we'll definitely face her in battle in the future.

Father may have handed the tiger tally to you,

but you have no practical war experience.

You have to shoulder the heavy responsibility all by yourself. I'm truly ashamed.

Your Highness, thank you for being understanding.

But now, our nation is facing a crisis. Even if I'm inept, I'll do my best.

I won't let down His Majesty's trust.

Shrek Academy has the most complete training ground in Heaven Dou City.

Soul Masters can go through all kinds of training there.

And, Imperial Preceptor, I know you prioritize our nation above all. I deeply respect that.

But this is a huge deal.

I still wish to choose a war veteran to be your assistant

so that you two can manage the army together. Imperial Preceptor, what do you think?

Your Highness, I appreciate the thought.

However, I'm afraid it's going against the imperial decree.

Should we seek His Majesty's opinion...

There's no need to bother Father with such a trivial matter.

I believe that the Imperial Preceptor can train the Soul Master Legion more efficiently with an assistant.

This way, we can nurture the forces required to go against Martial Soul Hall as soon as possible.

Your Highness, I see where you're coming from.

It's a given that I need an assistant with experience.

Once the Soul Master Legion enters the city,

they'll be stationed at Shrek Academy.

There's no time. I'll head back to make preparations.

I shall take my leave.
