[The Land of Warriors]

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

[Episode 34]

Eldest Uncle, I was the one who established the Tang Sect.

How dare you establish your own sect?

Tang San, did you forget about the promise you made to us

when you came to the Clear Sky Clan last time?

Elders, the world outside the Clear Sky Clan is going to face a storm.

Martial Soul Hall intends to take over Douluo Continent.

I understand that the Clear Sky Clan doesn't want to handle the situation

as it has gone into hiding for many years.

But out of the Upper Three Clans,

the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan

have been eradicated by Martial Soul Hall.

Yuehua already told us about that.

I never expected Martial Soul Hall to be as arrogant as this.

The Douluo Continent is in chaos. There's no leader to lead them.

The Soul Master world is in urgent need of a sect that can go up against Martial Soul Hall.

Elders, I haven't fulfilled the promises I made to you two.

That's why the Clear Sky Clan cannot come out of hiding yet.

Therefore, I established the Tang Sect

and gathered the Four Single Attribute Tribes

and all those who are determined to stop them

in order to fight Martial Soul Hall to the very end.

You gathered the Four Single Attribute Tribes, which was under the Clear Sky Clan?

That's right.

The Clear Sky Clan has let down the four tribes.

You established the Tang Sect to go against Martial Soul Hall.

Due to that, you called them again.

I guess this can be seen as a way of our clan giving them an account.

Tang Sect is an independent sect. It has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Clan.

That's the promise I made to the four tribes.

Eldest Uncle. Elders. I hope you guys can understand.

I understand.

Although we didn't have a choice back then, the Clear Sky Clan indeed let them down.

Since the Tang Sect is your sect, I suppose you'll treat them well.

Forget it. Xiao San, I'll only tell you this.

Even if you've established your own sect, you're still a member of the Clear Sky Clan.

You must remember the promises...

you made to us.

I'll definitely remember them.

Also, I won't go back on my promises.

Once your soul power reaches level 80, you need to acquire a Hectomillennium Soul Ring.

Second Elder, even most Titled Douluos can't achieve that.

However, the future leader of the Clear Sky Clan...

must be capable of that much.

I never expected you to complete one of the three conditions

that Elder gave to you in such a short period.

You've already acquired a Hectomillennium Soul Ring when you're still a soul emperor.

Seems like you didn't let down our expectations at all.

Xiao San didn't let us down.

Elders, I suppose you two can have peace of mind now.

Excellent. Excellent indeed. I wasn't wrong about you.

The Hectomillennium Soul Ring proves that you're a kid with accountability and guts.

Xiao San, you can do whatever you want to do.

The Clear Sky Clan will always back you up.

Okay.

Eldest Uncle, I need to discuss with you Senior Lou Gao's case.

All right.

You guys can go ahead. Leave Xiao Wu to me.

Xiao Wu, I'm Xiao San's aunt.

You don't need to be scared. Follow me, okay?

Aunt already knows that I'm not a human.

She's so gentle.

Brother San, I like your aunt.

These are all the hidden weapons used by the Tang Sect.

Senior Lou Gao is solely responsible for creating them.

Ever since the Tang Sect absorbed the Four Single Attribute Tribes,

we're growing stronger every day.

We need a large number of hidden weapons.

However, I'm afraid Senior Lou Gao alone

cannot forge all these two elite hidden weapons by himself.

Take a look.

[Torrential Pear Blossom Needle]

- Do you need my help? - That's right.

Senior Lou Gao requires the help of a Titled Douluo's Clear Sky Hammer.

After giving it some thought, Eldest Uncle, you're the only suitable candidate.

Sect Leader Tang, I'll be honest with you.

I hate myself for being incompetent.

I cannot forge these weapons in a short period.

But today, fate has led me to you, Clan Leader.

Now, there's hope for us!

With the help of Clear Sky Clan's Titled Douluo, which is you,

there's nothing we cannot achieve! Am I right?

That's right.

Yeah. Now, our biggest goal is to revitalize the Tang Sect.

Revitalize the Tang Sect!

That's right.

Although Clear Sky Clan is no longer related to the Four Single Attribute Tribes,

I still feel like I've let them down.

It's good that I can contribute to the Tang Sect.

Take this as our way of making it up to them.

Is that a yes, then?

Clan Leader, you're the best!

I'll leave the creation of the two hidden weapons to you!

- I'll leave them to you! - Elder Lou.

Elder Lou!

Eldest Uncle, thank you.

You don't need to thank me. You helped yourself out.

Did you notice how the two elders looked

when they saw your Hectomillennium Soul Ring?

I would rather...

be rid of this soul ring.

I understand your feelings.

I'll do my best to help Lou Gao create the hidden weapons you need.

Just tell me if you need anything else.

We're family. There's no need to be courteous.

Eldest Uncle, I heard that Martial Soul Hall

has a Level 99 Titled Douluo called Qian Daoliu.

Have you heard of him?

Of course, I've heard of him before.

Do you think the Clear Sky Clan would be afraid of Martial Soul Hall if he didn't exist?

Without him, no one dares to say

that they're powerful enough to eradicate the Clear Sky Clan.

Actually, the Clear Sky Clan once had a Level 99 Titled Douluo as well.

His strength was on par with Qian Daoliu.

That man is your great-grandfather, Tang Chen.

Your great-grandfather, Tang Chen, and Martial Soul Hall's Qian Daoliu

were known as the Two Peaks of the Soul Master world.

The two engaged in a duel to see who was superior.

Challenging is the Clear Sky Hammer, lofty is the Clear Sky Clan.

That's a grand technique indeed.

But Tang Chen, in this world,

there's only one place for a Level 99 Titled Douluo, and that is me!

Qian Daoliu, you're mistaken!

If Level 99 is the only thing you see,

you can remain here forever!

The peak we're standing on right now

is the venue where they held their final battle.

Qian Daoliu lost that battle by a tiny margin.

After that, both of them retired.

With the gradual passing of Soul Masters of their generation,

fewer and fewer people know about them.

Where did Great-Grandfather go, then?

I heard that the old man sought a higher realm of soul power.

He hoped that he could break the shackles of a Level 99 Titled Douluo

and reach the legendary Level 100.

Level 100? Level 100?

What kind of realm is that?

I don't know. No one knows either.

Legend has it that the realm is close to the realm of gods.

They're known as god-like beings.

But the old man never returned to Clear Sky Clan upon leaving.

Maybe he had already reached Level 100 successfully and reached another level.

Maybe he failed to reach Level 100 and had perished.

What about Qian Daoliu, then?

He didn't dare to take the risk.

He's been staying at Martial Soul Hall ever since.

He's in charge of Elder Hall.

Level 99 is already a level that most Soul Masters can never achieve.

That's right.

All these years, I've been trying my best to reach Level 97,

but I haven't succeeded.

I'm afraid I can't reach Grandfather's level in this lifetime.

However, your father initially had the potential to do so.

Eldest Uncle, don't worry.

What Father hasn't accomplished, I will surely accomplish it.

After leaving the Clear Sky Clan,

I'll undergo training at a place called Sea God Island.

What? You're heading to Sea God Island?

Eldest Uncle, do you know about that place?

Of course.

Xiao San, Sea God Island isn't a place to be trifled with.

Your great-grandfather, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu were defeated by the residents there before.

Great-Grandfather and Qian Daoliu were actually defeated?

Could their opponent be...

It's the Sea God Douluo of Sea God Island.

Although Sea God Douluo's strength is close to that of Qian Daoliu's,

she can utilize all the resources of the sea as long as she's on Sea God Island.

No one except Level 100 Soul Masters can defeat her.

It's no wonder Great-Grandfather and his rival lost to her.

Xiao San, if you guys insist on heading to Sea God Island,

I have two pieces of advice for you.

Firstly, sea soul beasts are ferocious.

And they're very powerful. You must be cautious.

Secondly, do not kill on the island.

Sea Soul Masters might resist outsiders,

but they usually chase them away. They won't kill them.

However, if you guys kill anyone on the island,

they shall seek revenge with no intention of stopping.

They will do so until they've avenged their fallen comrade.

I will remember that.

Xiao San, I know you're in a hurry to fulfill the promises you made to the elders

and your father's wish.

But remember this. Nothing is as important as your life.

No.

I'm not in a hurry to grow stronger for the reasons above.

Maybe those reasons did motivate me in the past.

But when I saw the innocent living beings that were slaughtered by Martial Soul Hall,

when I saw Xiao Wu sacrificing herself to rescue me,

when I saw the rampant chaos and battles occurring on the continent,

I only understood why I needed to become stronger.

Someone who's truly powerful won't act for their own desires.

People like them will shoulder the world as their responsibilities,

even if people who are unrelated to them might be involved.

For the peace of our continent, for the sake of our loved ones,

for the people to sleep in peace, for a tomorrow

that all beings can look forward to.

A tomorrow that all beings can look forward to, huh?

I never expected you to grow this much after our previous encounter.

Xiao San,

you're the pride and joy of the Clear Sky Clan.

Are you ready to absorb the second soul bone?

I'm ready.

Focus and calm the mind!

You inflicted harm upon yourself to acquire Emperor Xue Ye's trust.

Excellent job.

He has promised to appoint me as the crown prince.

The person he cares about is Xue Qinghe, not a fake like you.

If you take the act too seriously,

you might not be able to finish the task in the future.

I'll always remember the task you've assigned to me.

I won't let anyone bewitch me.

Traitor.

Your Holiness, please spare me!

Did you see that? All traitors shall die.

Mother...

Your Holiness, do you think I'll betray you?

Will you?

I've never thought of betraying you.

But, Mother, to you, am I the same as everyone else?

Am I your daughter?

Or am I a pawn that you can

cast away easily when you don't need me?

I told you this before. Do not call me that.

And remember this. Those who are useful are called pawns.

Those who aren't useful are called good-for-nothings.

I understand now.

I did everything as per her will!

I never expected her to treat me like a pawn!

Is she truly my mother?

Xiao Xue, if you're not willing to continue,

you may return from Heaven Dou.

You may return to Elder Hall.

I shall protect you.

She wouldn't dare to do anything to you when I'm around.

Grandfather, I can't just live under your protection forever.

Since she doesn't care about our mother-daughter bond,

there's no need to dwell on it.

Since she placed me at Heaven Dou,

I will own Heaven Dou in the future.

One day, she shall pay for her actions.

Focus!

Hurry and get up.

Xiao Xue, you're my pride and joy.

You've absorbed the second Angel Set soul bone successfully.

If you wish to inherit the title of Elder Hall's Supreme Elder,

you have to receive the recognition of the Angel God.

You may pray here. The Angel God will give you a trial.

You may only achieve your goal faster

under the guidance of a god.

Remember, you mustn't be distracted.

Understood, Grandfather.

You can rest at ease now that Senior Lou Gao has met Eldest Uncle.

Shouldn't we head back and prepare ourselves before departing for Sea God Island?

No.

There's one more important thing to do.

Are you ready?

We'll meet my parents soon.

What? Why didn't you discuss it with me first?

We'll depart for Sea God Island soon.

Before that, I think we should meet them.

But this is too sudden. I didn't prepare anything.

My family is your family.

There's no need to prepare a gift for your own family. What matters is the reunion.

You do have a point.

But this is our first meeting after all. You didn't even prepare any gifts on my behalf.

You're the best gift there is.

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

Brother San, I've never met your mother before.

Do you think she'll like me?

She'll definitely like you.

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

♫ I want to be your never-changing bright day ♫

♫ Burning the dark nights to protect you ♫

♫ If they wish to harm you, they must first kill me ♫

♫ I will create a sanctuary with my mortal flesh ♫

♫ I'm not afraid to die for you ♫

♫ If I love you ♫

♫ If I need you ♫

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

♫ If I love you ♫

♫ Embracing you for eternity ♫

A'Yin, the children have returned safely.

Father. Mother. I've brought Xiao Wu here to visit you guys.

What happened to Xiao Wu?

Not long ago, your mother and I sensed that you two might be in some kind of danger.

That reaction only happens when a sacrifice is being carried out.

This Martial Soul Hall move is a long-term one indeed.

It's just that your youth has gone to waste.

Tang San, you shouldn't become my enemy.

You should become my teammate and fight alongside me.

What a shame.

People of different aspirations like us cannot get along!

Xiao Xue, stay focused!

Bibi Dong is no longer hiding her ambitions.

Xiao San,

since you've chosen to go against her by establishing the Tang Sect,

that means you've understood the true meaning of being strong.

The strong help the weak.

I won't let Bibi Dong get her way.

We'll undergo training at Sea God Island to go against her.

We'll engage Bibi Dong in a final battle upon our return.

I'm truly happy that you have such aspirations.

As your father, I should've lent you a hand.

But look at the current state I'm in.

I'm afraid I cannot do anything for you.

No.

Father, you've already done a lot for me.

I will accomplish the tasks you couldn't.

What is this?

Father, this is my gift to you.

It's called a prosthetic limb.

I designed this for the injured members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

I reserved a set for you.

You can move freely as you did before after putting this on.

Father, I'll deal with the unrest outside.

I just hope that you and Mother can live here peacefully.

Okay.

I brought Xiao Wu back

so that you and Mother can bear witness to our union.

Uncle?

- Xiao Wu. - Xiao Wu?

Your consciousness will be damaged if you return it to your body forcefully.

You should go back.

Don't worry.

The Yearning Heartbroken Red in my body came from Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Strong life energy is all over this place.

I'll be fine if I return to my body temporarily.

Brother San, I know what you're trying to do.

I won't miss out on such an important moment.

Father, I want to get engaged to Xiao Wu.

I hope you and Mother can be our witnesses.

Xiao Wu, I'll be honest with you.

To us, you were already a part of our family long ago.

I lost my mother when I was very young.

I barged into the human world by accident.

Luckily, I got to know Brother San when I was young.

We supported each other throughout our journey.

We've been through many hardships together.

Brother San and I were already one long ago.

Our hearts were in sync.

To me, you were a part of my family long ago as well.

I'm very happy that you can accept me.

A'Yin, did you hear that?

Once, I blamed the heavens for being unfair to me.

But ever since I met Brother San, I knew

that I would become the luckiest person in the world.

No.

I'm the luckiest person in the world.

What have I done to deserve a great wife like you?

I will notify my parents,

the gods and deities,

and all living beings...

that you're my wife.

♫ Lingering concern is a surging tide ♫

♫ The past becomes hazy amidst the wind and tears ♫

Look! A shooting star!

Look.

The night sky looks gorgeous.

I'm sure this shooting star has granted the wish of many people.

♫ The secret tangled on one's wrist ♫

♫ Because of you, we have a tacit understanding of sensing the world ♫

♫ Longing transcends time and space ♫

♫ Embracing the faraway you in my dream ♫

♫ After bidding farewell, I practice alone ♫

♫ So one day we can overturn fate ♫

♫ The night sky sketches the views we saw together ♫

♫ The night sky sketches the views we saw together ♫

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

♫ The glow of the soul ring shall never fade ♫

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

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

All right now. I know you're happy.

Xiao San. Xiao Wu. Since you two have gotten engaged today,

your mother and I hope that you two

can be with each other through thick and thin.

♫ So I do not fear the change of time ♫

♫ Because of you, I'm sure of what to say ♫

- Dear parents, I, Tang San. - I, Xiao Wu.

- Greetings, dear parents. - Greetings, dear parents.

All right now. You two may rise.

Father.

Mother.

♫ The wind sways, trembling the moonlight ♫

Hello. My name is Xiao Wu, "Wu" as in dance.

I'm the new apprentice.

Brother San, are you willing to comb my hair for the rest of your life?

I'll comb it in this lifetime and in the next. I'll comb it for eternity.

From now on, no one can separate us...

no matter who it is,

not even death.

♫ I will protect your peace for a lifetime ♫

♫ Even if I must endure being torn into pieces ♫

♫ I'll face endless suffering without regret ♫

♫ Even if I turn into drifting dust ♫

♫ I'll still run into your arms ♫

Xiao Wu, will you marry me?

Yes, I will.

From now on, through every meal and every season,

as the stars shift and time passes,

we will be together,

and we will depend on each other for eternity.

♫ Holding your hand ♫

♫ Breaking through the dense fog ♫

♫ I'll give up my dreams and abandon my restless heart for you ♫

♫ My love will forever remain steadfast ♫

♫ I am willing to use my lifetime's courage ♫

♫ I will protect your peace for a lifetime ♫

♫ Even if I must endure being torn into pieces ♫

♫ I'll face endless suffering without regret ♫

♫ Even if I turn into drifting dust ♫

♫ I'll still run into your arms ♫

Where did you go? You sure took your time, huh?

Don't you know that everyone was waiting for you and Xiao Wu so that we can depart for Sea God Island?

Only you two were missing.

We would've gone to the Clear Sky Clan asking for you two had you guys returned any later.

It's indeed time for us to depart.

Stop dilly-dallying, then. Pack your belongings.

That's right, Brother San. Let's go!

- Don't! - Hurry!

Time to go!

♫ If separation is for our next meeting ♫

♫ My graceful longing always reaches for the stars ♫

♫ After a twist of fate and passing through the river of time ♫

♫ After a twist of fate and passing through the river of time ♫

It's so shiny. We're not blind, you know?

You're showing off too much here. I don't want to entertain you at all.

I knew that you guys were pretending to be ignorant.

However,

how did you guys find out about our engagement?

We had no idea.

Before this, you said you proposed to Xiao Wu in Star Dou Forest.

We never forgot about that.

We were planning to hold an engagement ceremony for you two before we departed for Sea God Island.

It was meant to be a surprise.

But you guys actually ditched us and held the ceremony without us.

- That's too much. - That's right.

You abducted Xiao Wu behind our backs.

You have no regard for her family members at all.

♫ Burning the dark nights to protect you ♫

Xiao Wu, we cannot agree to this marriage of yours.

It doesn't count.

That's right. Xiao Wu doesn't know how the world works.

She was duped by Brother San.

- I– - We have to uphold justice for her, right?

That's right. If he wants to marry our Xiao Wu,

he has to prepare betrothal gifts and proceed with all the rites and ceremonies.

Xiao Wu, you mustn't say yes to him if any of the processes are lacking.

They have a point.

This engagement was too hasty.

It felt like I was duped.

Xiao Wu, don't listen to their nonsense.

Hey, you guys. You guys can choose to be envious or even jealous,

but don't cancel my engagement.

Fight with me if you're upset with it.

Fight with you? Xiao Ao, drag him out.

How dare you dupe our Xiao Wu? We'll beat you up.

Let's go! Drag him out!

Come on! Hurry! Come with us!

You're beating me for real?

When can I receive such treatment?

- Master. - Master.

Master.

Xiao San. Xiao Wu. Congratulations.

Thank you, Master.

By the way, you came back at the right time.

His Majesty is inviting you to the palace.

Sect Leader Tang, I heard that you're going on a trip to boost your power.

How long will the trip take?

At least 3 years, and at most 50 years.

So, once we part ways, we might not be able to see each other again.

Xue Beng.

Sect Leader Tang, this is what he's supposed to do.

Your Highness, what are you doing?

Sect Leader Tang, please accept my bow.

You saved my father from danger.

No matter as a son or as a subject,

I have to express my gratitude on Father's behalf and for myself.

Your Highness, please get up. I don't deserve this.

I hope that you can take Xue Beng as your student.

I also hope that you can look after him.

Therefore, it's reasonable for him to bow to you.

You deserve the bow.

Your Majesty, I do not deserve to be His Highness's mentor.

I trust you. You deserve it.

Xue Beng has always been mischievous.

However, he's been enduring in silence.

I'm willing to hand Heaven Dou to him.

However, he isn't fully fledged yet. I'm worried about him.

He needs someone who can support him and who he can trust.

He trusts you.

He admires you as well.

You're the best mentor he can have.

Mentor, please accept my bow.

According to our title, I'm your mentor.

However, according to our identities, I'll always be your subject.

Tang San, sect leader of the Tang Sect, receive the imperial decree.

This is a special decree.

[Imperial Decree] He shall be appointed as the crown prince's Grand Preceptor.

He does not need to bow to the ruler.

He shall be a noble with a different surname,

with his title being Lan Hao.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

King Lan Hao, from now on, this will be the symbol of your identity.

This is the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

In a sense, it can be considered a soul tool.

This item serves as the symbol of King Lan Hao.

It has plenty of functions.

King Lan Hao, just inject your soul power into it when you head back.

You'll understand after that.

It should be of use to you during your training.

Your Highness, I shall do my best to assist you as long as I'm around.

I shall assist you in creating a prosperous Heaven Dou.

How did this happen?

It feels like a mysterious power has flowed into this realm

after the appearance of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

I even feel a little giddy.

How many years has it been?

Now, I've finally found someone who can withstand the power of the vast sea.

But the result will depend on whether or not you can withstand the upcoming trials.
