[The Land of Warriors]

[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "Douluo Continent"]

[Episode 24]

Is it good?

I'll write this down.

Fermented rice with brown sugar. Tastes a bit like wine.

You've eaten so much.

Are you full?

No. Far from it. I'm still hungry.

Tell me everything you want to eat. I'll try them all for you.

I also want to try this.

Sure.

Orange peels and red beans.

I think you will like the peels.

You're here.

Join us?

Sure. We can form a Xiao Wu Food Tasting Team.

Let's check it out.

Let me make it clear.

The clan leader is long gone.

Whether the clan leader is dead or missing, it's not the Elephant Armor Clan's business.

If you continue pestering us or tarnish our reputation, you'll die!

What are you looking at?

Move along!

Don't cause any trouble.

Come on. Get up.

What happened?

Why is your missing clan leader connected to the Elephant Armor Clan?

The clan is now the most powerful clan in Longxing City.

The Soul Masters are having a tough time here.

If you're just passing by, you should leave now. Stay out of trouble.

Let's go.

The trouble in this city runs deeper than we think.

[Tribe of Defense's Mansion]

The Tribe of Defense's mansion was built with the help of the Tribe of Strength.

As for the detailing, their tribe chief, Niu Gao, designed it all.

They don't have a security guard?

- Why you... - The gate alone is powerful enough.

The overall architecture may look rough and unrefined,

but it's full of contraptions.

It seems you did your homework before coming here.

A guest should show goodwill.

Glad to hear that.

However, the Old Rhino is very straightforward.

He hates beating around the bush.

Once he learns how sincere you are, I bet you two will get along just fine.

- I'll go first. - Sure.

Great. See you later.

The heavens link silver peaks of five ranges.

Iron arms shake the rivers with strength!

Shake!

Come in.

Let's go, Young Master.

Come.

Ma Hongjun and the gang must be here for a grand plan.

One of them has the Clear Sky Hammer.

Does it mean the Tribe of Defense is connected to the Clear Sky Clan?

[Niu Gao, Chief of the Tribe of Defense]

That is the Chief of the Tribe of Defense, Niu Gao.

Not bad, Old Orangutan. Your strength grew.

However, I may not be as strong as you,

there is no way you can break my old bones.

We know the Old Rhino has thick skin.

Tai Nuo.

Come and meet Uncle Niu Gao.

Uncle Niu.

This kid grew taller again. But he's a bit too skinny.

- We'll go sparring sometimes. - Much appreciated.

Tai Nuo is skinny? We might as well be twigs.

I prepared the liquor you like. No one leaves until we get drunk.

Only the cowards won't drink!

- Let's go! - Come.

Didn't he see the bunch of us standing right here?

Uncle Niu only cares about things and people that are large and strong.

I think he truly didn't notice you.

Young Master, this way.

Sure.

Are we big and strong?

This is a lot of liquor. We'll drink our worries away!

I didn't expect you to come so soon. And you brought friends.

I didn't prepare much. This will do for now.

These are not considered "much"?

Who are these people?

Judging by their sizes, they aren't from the Tribe of Strength.

Five years ago, there was the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Do you know about that?

Of course. Some from my tribe participated.

But the results were mediocre.

The Martial Soul Hall sent their "Golden Generation,"

which were three young lads.

They were defeated by a black horse.

That black horse was these youngsters.

Young heroes. Not bad.

Eat up. Make yourselves at home.

But why are they here, too?

Senior Niu Gao.

I am Tang San. My father is Tang Hao.

Tang San?

Get out!

The Clear Sky Clan is not welcomed here.

Old Rhino, calm down.

What do you mean?

We suffered, thanks to Tang Hao.

The Clear Sky Clan is secluded and the Martial Soul Hall always undermines me.

- Don't you know that? - Please calm down.

It was the Clear Sky Clan that discarded the affiliated tribes like used pawns.

It was not Tang Hao.

I want him gone. Don't make me use violence!

Then, the Tribe of Strength will not join this gathering!

Curse you, Old Orangutan. Our friendship means nothing to you?

Anyone who is a friend of the Clear Sky Clan is not welcome here!

Fine.

Senior, wait.

Senior,

I apologize for the damage the four tribes suffered because of the clan and my father.

I know my apology means nothing to you,

but I came to find a way to make amends for the tribes.

Everything is well. We don't need your help.

Besides, you are but a powerless kid. What can you possibly do?

I understand your doubts.

But the Martial Soul Hall caused everything.

We should go after them instead.

Everyone wants them to pay.

They inflicted much damage on our tribe and caused the death of my people.

However, I have a tribe to protect.

I must know my place.

Unlike you, I don't bluff!

Your tribe stands no chance if you fight alone.

But if we join hands, we can stand against them.

You can't even defeat me, how can you defeat Martial Soul Hall?

I need but a chance to prove myself.

Let me prove that the Tang Sect can unite and protect the four tribes.

You can set the contest rules.

If I manage to win, please allow me to stay for the gathering.

I want to convince the others to join the Tang Sect.

Why should I give you the chance

when you seek to use this chance to win over my people?

You are out of your mind.

Leave. Get out!

Or else, I'll use force.

The Tang Sect will stand against Martial Soul Hall.

The Tang Sect? I've never heard of such a sect.

You withstood my aura. How old are you?

Almost 21.

Very well. Show me your strength.

If you earn my recognition, you will be allowed to attend the gathering.

Really?

I am a chief. You have my word.

[Elephant Armor Clan]

Move!

The Ink Scholar Clan will follow Martial Soul Hall.

[Huyan Zhen] We will follow the Elephant Armor Clan.

Holy Lady, this is the clan leader of the Ink Scholar Clan.

After he heard of your arrival, he came to pledge his loyalty to you and follow the Elephant Armor Clan.

People are driven by interests.

Our clan has the might to rule over all clans.

Everyone is eager to pledge their loyalty.

Is that so?

It seems the Tribe of Defense is the only exception.

Holy Lady, that tribe is indeed too stubborn for their own good.

However, now that you are here to pressure them personally,

they will surrender sooner or later.

Martial Soul Hall has plans to promote you to lead the Seven Great Clans.

But we'd like to see that you are capable of leading.

Take care of the Tribe of Defense to prove your worth.

Yes.

Rest assured. The Elephant Armor Clan will give it our best.

We won't fail Her Holiness.

Clan Leader! Clan Leader!

Bad news!

What's the fuss about? Didn't you see the Holy Lady?

- Greetings, Holy Lady. - Greetings, Holy Lady.

Clan Leader, this is urgent. The Tribe of Defense brought reinforcements.

One of them is actually from the Clear Sky Clan.

- Did you get a good look? - Yes.

The Clear Sky Clan went into seclusion.

Why would they intervene in our plan with the Tribe of Defense?

I saw it myself. Someone used the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Clan?

Could it be Tang San?

I'll accept any rules you set.

In this place, my stature is the normal standard.

I must eat more to stay in good shape.

Aren't you going to watch?

We'll watch when he wins.

You are out of your mind.

Young Master is strong, but Uncle Niu is a Soul Douluo.

Is he even a match?

Not if it is a head-on battle.

But Brother San is an expert at using loopholes.

- Indeed. - If you don't believe us, we can have a bet.

You're a young one. I won't give you a hard time.

This circle is our arena. If you're out, you lose.

How's that?

Sir, watch out.

Not bad, kiddo.

I won't go easy on you.

Stop! That should be enough.

Further fighting will only do more harm.

I don't want any of you to get hurt.

As if he could hurt me.

Old Orangutan, don't look down on me.

Kid, it's not too late to quit.

When I use my full strength, you could lose your head.

Feel free to throw everything at me.

Young Master!

Very well. I applaud your courage.

Chaotic Wind-splitting Hammer Technique!

Attached soul bone!

Senior, well fought.

- Xiao San! - Xiao San, Nicely done.

- You didn't disappoint. - Brother San is the best!

Tai Nuo, you lost the bet.

You put up a good fight.

Thanks for going easy on me.

I didn't pull my punches. I lost.

I am a man of my word.

You can stay, but as yourself.

My feud with the Clear Sky Clan is not over.

Old Rhino,

does that mean you finally recognize the Young Master's strength?

So what?

He can never take on Martial Soul Hall all by himself.

Senior, I am not eager to throw my life away.

I want to muster visionaries.

You've swindled me enough.

I am aware of your concerns.

The Clear Sky Clan abandoned the Four Single Attribute Tribes

because of Martial Soul Hall.

But I assure you the Tang Sect won't do the same.

Why should I trust you?

Niu Gao is extremely stubborn.

His defense is formidable. He doesn't trust anyone easily.

It won't be easy to find his weakness.

But even the strongest has a weakness.

The Tribe of Defense has been pestered by Martial Soul Hall for a long time.

They hate Martial Soul Hall.

If Niu Gao actually sees someone standing up against Martial Soul Hall,

he can be convinced.

However, it will be challenging to make him believe that.

I am still young. I just founded my sect. I don't deserve your trust.

But I dare take the lead.

Someone must step up to assemble a force against Martial Soul Hall.

My sect will be the first.

By gathering people with the same cause, we don't have to fear Martial Soul Hall.

Fancy talks.

In the end, you still want us to risk our lives.

You will cast us aside when it is time to save your own neck!

Old Rhino, they are not the Clear Sky Clan.

I believe in my choice.

I expect your tribe to join hands with us after so many years.

We'll fight the same enemy and redeem ourselves!

A newly founded sect wants to fight against Martial Soul Hall?

Old Orangutan, do you trust them?

Of course I do!

Senior, my sect is far from being strong.

So we need your strength to deliver a heavy blow.

Running away means relying solely on luck.

It's a matter of time before we are eliminated.

Niu Gao, Huyan Zhen is here for a visit!

It's a contraption built with soul power.

Only the Tribe of Defense has this technology.

Why is he here again? I had just chased him away.

Martial Soul Hall's Holy Lady is here.

Open your gate now!

Martial Soul Hall! Battle stations!

Calm down, Mr. Niu. Let us handle this.

Perfect timing.

We've been waiting for you.

You walked right into our turf.

You are relentless.

Bring it on.

Holy Lady, this is the lair of the Tribe of Defense.

The gate has a contraption.

Unless it's opened from the inside, any attempt to break in will be dangerous.

I'd like to see how much damage it can deal.

Stop.

It's you again.

We meet again.

You should be hiding instead of stirring up trouble here.

Did the Hectomillennium Soul Ring make you forget your defeat?

Didn't Xiao Wu die because of you?

Stop.

Now is not the time for that.

- Huyan Zhen. - Here.

They opened the gate for us.

Well, we should greet them properly.

Yes.

Forget it.

It's not your first time here.

Didn't I make myself clear last time?

I heard you the last time.

But perhaps you didn't understand what I said.

The Upper Three Clans have fallen from their grace.

The new Seven Great Clans will be selected.

I am aware of your might.

You are no match for the Seven Great Clans.

But if you join our forces,

once the Elephant Armor Clan becomes the head of the Seven Great Clans,

the Tribe of Defense's influence will increase!

I assure you I will not forsake you like the Clear Sky Clan.

We are but a small tribe.

We will stay out of conflicts and have no interest in fighting.

As for the Clear Sky Clan, we have nothing to do with them.

Brother Niu.

Please reconsider it.

I came here and asked nicely for you to follow the Elephant Armor Clan.

By the way, the Holy Lady of Martial Soul Hall is here.

Feel free to tell her your terms.

She will do her best to meet your requests.

She means nothing to me!

Huyan Zhen, join them if you are so eager.

I am not interested at all.

- You dare disrespect the Holy Lady? - Enough!

The politics changed drastically.

The Clear Sky Clan went into hiding.

If the Tribe of Defense refuses to join our cause,

you'll make yourself enemies of Martial Soul Hall.

You are wrong.

You've made the world your enemy.

I thought the Clear Sky Clan sent an elder here.

It turned out to be a witless boy!

Old fool,

do you know the Holy Lady next to you was defeated by this witless boy?

The Tribe of Defense wants to stay out of conflicts.

They are not your puppets.

Hu Liena, let's fight.

If you lose, do not bother them again.

If you want to stand up for this tribe, that's fine by me.

I won't lose a second time.

He has two martial souls!

If you lose, you do as you promised.

Promise?

Be a man of your word before you ask the same of me!

Do it! Or else none of us will get out!

I shouldn't have trusted you in Netherworld City.

We needed each other's help to leave the place.

I also made it clear...

If Martial Soul Hall continues on this path of evil,

we will be enemies when we meet again.

So only I thought it was real.

Why didn't you dodge it?

Na Na!

You lost.

As promised, we won't bother this tribe again.

From now on, we are even. You mean nothing to me.

I still have a grudge to settle with you.

You killed Xiao Wu.

This is a blood debt I will collect from you.

Don't think you can defeat Martial Soul Hall.

You cannot challenge the might of Martial Soul Hall.

And you can never challenge the justice of the people.

The people? Only the powerful can rule the people. The weak are nothing but morsels!

The strong have their way. The weak find their way to survive.

That makes a normal world.

Tang San, the world won't change because of you.

You should learn your place.

Xiao San?

You defeated Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation with ease.

You are a prodigy indeed.

How is your injury?

Thanks for the concern. I'm all right.

Blue Silver Emperor's Right Thighbone can heal itself.

The Elephant Armor Clan has become Martial Soul Hall's lapdog.

They are here to make the Tribe of Defense surrender.

If they wage a war, no one is safe.

We must prepare for the worst, given the current circumstances.

Unlike you and Senior Niu, many fear the powerful evildoers.

Once the battle of the Seven Great Clans concludes,

Martial Soul Hall will declare war on Heaven Dou and Star Luo.

When there is war,

the common folks suffer.

Senior Niu, please reconsider my offer to join the Tang Sect.

No.

Stubborn Old Rhino! Now is not the time for your stubbornness!

What are your other concerns? Please tell us.

I will do my best to deal with them.

I can't believe a young man like you

would go out of his way to take on Martial Soul Hall for my tribe.

It seems what you told me wasn't a bluff.

I'm a man of my word.

As Martial Soul Hall grows stronger, fewer will dare defy them.

I am not here because of the feud between your tribe and the Clear Sky Clan.

I came because we have a common enemy.

The Tang Sect needs someone who doesn't fear Martial Soul Hall.

We must stand together and fight them

to restore peace to the Douluo Continent.

Why can't I give a fancy speech like that?

Cut it out.

I have one question.

What is the relationship between the Clear Sky Clan and Tang Sect in the future?

The Clear Sky Clan went into seclusion.

That dealt too much damage to the four tribes.

My father regrets it.

So I promise you that the Tang Sect will stand on its own.

We will never follow the Clear Sky Clan.

Tang San.

Do not forget what you said today.

She didn't use her full strength.

Are we talking about Hu Liena?

Who else could it be?

The way she was looking at you was too unusual.

You said I was being paranoid. It seems you're keeping secrets from me!

- But I... - Be honest with me.

What happened between you two back in Netherworld City?

Nothing at all.

But she said it was wrong to trust you when you were there!

And you let her hurt you.

You told me I was slow-witted.

But after what she said today, I realized that perhaps Hu Liena really...

Anyway, I kept secrets from her, but I never led her on.

Xiao Wu, don't you believe me?

Are you messing with me?

Yes, but I am still mad at you.

I said you were slow-witted so you'd stay away from her

because her love for you might turn into hatred.

She could do anything to hurt you.

But you?

You let her stab you today.

Your plan to make her give up might make her fall for you even more.

Xiao Wu, I swear that was never my intention.

I get it. Had you known, you wouldn't have done it.

But thankfully, Hu Liena has agreed to move on from your dispute in Netherworld City.

Brother San, since you can't be on the same side, let's treat her as our rival.

No. Not a rival, but an enemy.

♫ Burning the dark nights to protect you ♫

Does it still hurt here?

♫ I will create a sanctuary with my mortal flesh ♫

I can feel your touch.

Brother San, I am back.

♫ If I love you ♫

♫ If I need you ♫

♫ The unspoken answer in my eyes, you will understand ♫

♫ If I love you ♫

♫ If I need you ♫

Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu!

♫ If I love you ♫

Did I startle you?

♫ Embracing you for eternity ♫

Stay a bit longer in my dream next time.

It's the middle of the night. What is this about?

Let me be clear.

I'll be mad if this isn't important. I need my beauty sleep.

This is very important.

Is it Martial Soul Hall?

Could you...

Could you give Xiao Wu a shower?

[Elephant Armor Clan]

Safe travel, Holy Lady.

However...

What is it? Speak away.

Now that you promised Tang San not to pressure the tribe,

there is nothing more I can do to win them over.

Clan Leader Huyan, it's my personal promise to Tang San.

How is the Elephant Armor Clan concerned?

Do whatever you want. Don't you get it?

Yes. I understand.

I thank you for the guidance.

- Go now. - Holy Lady.

Should we inform Her Holiness about the Clear Sky Clan member's descent from the mountain?

Just focus on doing your job. This isn't a matter of your concern.

To become the head of all clans and tribes, there is much you must prepare.

I won't let you down.

[Elephant Armor Clan]

Tang San humiliated you.

I swear I will tear him into pieces and avenge you!

Too bad, you are no match for him. You can't kill him.

Your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul doesn't have a soul ring. Why?

Correct. My Clear Sky Hammer doesn't have a soul ring.

Be patient. Look.

Hectomillennium Soul Ring! It's over a hundred thousand years old!

It's no wonder your defense is impregnable.

But how did you absorb a Hectomillennium Soul Ring with your level?

It's a long story.

You are right. Tang San is more talented than his father.

He might even surpass his father.

Indeed.

Sect Leader, now that our tribe has joined the Tang Sect,

your wish is our command!

I do have a favor to ask of you, Elder Niu.

The Tribe of Strength's mansion is the Tang Sect's base now.

But I think it's not big enough for all members of the four tribes.

I heard that your tribe has remarkable building skills.

I need you to tend to this matter.

It's simple. My men will start rebuilding right away.

The four tribes will be reunited under the Tang Sect!

By the way, I have another question.

We met many who went to the Elephant Armor Clan to ask for their clan leaders.

Do you know anything about this?

After Martial Soul Hall announced the selection of the new Seven Great Clans,

more than a dozen clan leaders from small clans in Longxing City have disappeared.

Elder Niu, are all missing people clan leaders?

It could be linked to the disappearances of Soul Masters.

I doubt it.

It could be the Elephant Armor Clan.

The missing clan leaders didn't see eye to eye with them.

Besides, some of them have returned to their clans.

However, all those who have returned

have pledged their loyalty to the Elephant Armor Clan.

I bet they resorted to underhanded methods like threats and blackmail.

The Elephant Armor Clan would resort to kidnapping

to gain power to become the new head of the Seven Great Clans.

If Huyan Zhen gets what he wishes,

the tribe will become the Martial Soul Hall's instrument for evils.

Correct. If they weren't weary of our tribe's defense strength,

you wouldn't have met me alive.

The Elephant Armor Clan must be stopped.

Maybe we should scout them out.

Count me in. I should pull my weight as the deputy leader.

No one has to go.

Leave it to me and Zhuqing.

Don't forget, we are in Star Luo.

You are indeed perfect for this task.

But in any case, please be safe.

I can't even contribute to my own sect.

Brother San, don't you have a mission for me?

Don't worry, Fatty. I have a task for you.

You know the place well.

Rongrong and I don't go out a lot.

We want to bring Uncle Ning some souvenirs.

Show us around.

- You'll pay for food? - Of course!

Souvenir shopping in East Street, Fatty will get the best price you need.

Wait!

You asked me to be your guide, but not your servant.

We paid for your food and drinks. You need some exercise to keep fit.

But...

Sir, I want this, this, and that.

They look nice. Let's try them out.

Sir, pack them all up for me. I want them all.

Sure!

You only let Rongrong buy things.

You're an able-bodied man. Why don't you pay for them?

I have the strength, but not the money.

You're feeding off the lady?

Rongrong! You can't spoil him.

You are too young to understand this.

I belong to Rongrong.

My belongings are already hers.

Rongrong is my boss now.

- Sir, is it done? - Yes.

Here you go.

Rongrong, give me one.

Greasy. I'm out of here!

Wait!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

I should've stayed in Longxing City a bit longer.

I could've run into the girl in white again.

[Bai Chenxiang, Tribe of Agility]

Did you lose something, My Lady?

What did I lose?

You lost my heart.

That means I lost some junk. It's all right.

You are rather unusual.

Of all the people, only you caught my eye.

My heart flutters with your every move.

Perhaps we had known each other from another lifetime?

One, I don't know you.

Two, stop pestering me again.

You don't know me, but I know you.

You are the love of my dreams.

Ouch!

You met her in your dreams?

I can make sure you never wake up from your sleep.

Thank you.

I knew I recognized you.

Your smile is just as I remember.

Men are all the same.
