Douluo Continent Season 1

Episode 8

I'm not from Shi Lan Ke.

I'm just an inn staff.

I...

To put it simply,

Shi Lan Ke School and I have a history.

Rose Inn helps Shi Lan Ke

organize the admission exam,

which means it's just as guilty.

I have nothing to do with it.

Whoever joins Shi Lan Ke

will be my enemy.

Should we save him?

Is this part of the exam?

You think so?

I know

some might think

this is the admission exam.

Tell me now.

How can I let them know

that I'm serious?

I...

I don't know.

I'll kill you

to prove it.

Come here.

This is your last moment.

At least look dignified.

I'm not one of them.

I have nothing to do with them.

It doesn't look like an exam.

Shi Lan Ke picked this inn.

You only have your bad luck to blame.

Quadruple Soul Rings. Soul Sect.

My vine

can't reach him.

I'll finish my business,

then I'll entertain you two.

Let him go.

Supreme Palm.

Nether Spikes.

Ou Si Ke!

See it now?

This is what happened

when you want to join Shi Lan Ke.

Shi Lan Ke

won't come and protect you.

If you stay,

you'll be my enemy.

Can I quit?

Those who want to quit,

do it now.

Why did you kill him?

He's just a staff.

He's not related to the school.

Bad timing then.

His fate has been decided.

Killing people doesn't make you stronger.

It only shows that you can't control

yourself.

Audacious kid.

Everyone can leave

but you have to stay.

Are kids nowadays this reckless?

Wu.

Speed can increase power.

First Soul skill.

Acala's Statue.

Wu!

Wu.

Sorry, brother.

I made you worry.

It's my fault.

I couldn't protect you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

If forbearance means I'll lose someone,

then even if

I'll die,

I will avenge my sister.

Without using Martial Soul?

What technique did you use?

Again.

This is Gravity Squeeze.

You'd better stay put.

Seven Soul Rings!

He's a Soul Saint.

Brother.

Tang San.

Who are you?

Tang San.

Tang San.

Are you okay, Wu?

No need to continue.

You guys passed.

What do you mean?

This is a test

from Shi Lan Ke.

It tests your ability

and your bravery.

You little freaks all passed.

You kill someone just for a test.

Hey, time's up.

Did you really think that I was dead?

How was my acting?

Come.

Weren't you...

Let me introduce myself again.

I'm Ou Si Ke from

Shi Lan Ke.

Remember me, Ou Si Ke.

How was my acting?

Tell me.

It's almost

real.

You know why?

I studied my character

diligently.

I even gave myself

the role of inn staff.

I came up with his back story,

his manner of speech,

his behaviour,

and the details of his murder.

I pondered over them.

Look.

When I die,

every detail has to be on point.

The detail

is what makes it so real.

Understood?

I don't get it.

It's fine.

When school starts,

we can discuss

about arts.

I'm very...

Ou Si Ke,

stop rambling.

When you were fighting against Mr. Zhao,

you used two skills.

But they weren't Soul Skills.

What then?

They weren't Soul Skills indeed.

Just some tricks up my sleeve.

Shi Lan Ke

doesn't like dirty tricks.

It's not dirty tricks.

A Martial Soul Battle

without Soul Skill.

Isn't this cheating?

Tang San only has two Soul Rings.

To fight someone with seven Soul Rings,

we needed other strategies.

Martial Soul Battle has to be fair.

He was cheating.

Dai Mu Bai.

The rules say that

if they can defeat me,

they pass the exam.

Tang San did it.

We can't

reject someone just because

we haven't seen his techniques before.

Don't you think?

So,

everyone here now

has passed the exam.

Besides,

the potential

and will power you showed

are freakish.

Excellent.

Dai Mu Bai.

Tell Headmaster that

I'm leaving.

Wait.

Let me introduce to you all.

Mr. Zhao Wu Ji,

one of our earliest

graduates.

He also used to

teach here.

Used to?

Due to the lack of funds,

we can't hire teachers anymore.

But Mr. Zhao

still helps us with the admission exam.

Maybe it's because I look like a villain.

No, not at all.

You have potential.

Work hard.

Shi Lan Ke won't let you down.

Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

All right. Rest well.

I'll show you the school tomorrow.

Let's go.

I'm not here for enrollment.

I'm here for you, Dai Mu Bai.

Are you afraid of a duel?

Sub by WeTV & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Stop.

You can't win.

Purple? Millennium Soul Ring.

Triple Soul Rings. Soul Honour?

I killed a Millennium Supreme Tiger

and obtained the third Soul Ring.

White Tiger Vajra Transformation

will boost my combat power

and defense greatly.

Speed too.

I won't give up.

I will defeat you.

Boring.

Miss, I have an idea.

You already paid up.

You passed the exam too.

Why not study here?

I'm not here for enrollment.

Look,

in school,

we are always together.

You can duel

Dai Mu Bai at any time.

Also, Dai Mu Bai is strong.

What does it mean?

What?

It means Shi Lan Ke School

is good.

When you study here,

you'll defeat him in no time.

That's true.

In that case,

you'll

need to pay again.

But I already paid up.

You paid the registration fee this afternoon.

You fought Dai Mu Bai

once.

And now, you need to

pay the tuition fee.

After you pay up,

the teacher

will train you.

You'll improve

and defeat him.

No?

Oh...

Rest well.

School tomorrow!

Hey.

How did you hurt Mr. Zhao?

When I saw you lose consciousness,

I lost control of myself.

Everything was out of reflex.

Not using Martial Soul?

But I might have

combined both Xuan Tian Strike

and the Martial Soul.

I didn't expect it to negate

the opponent's Martial Soul.

Xuan Tian Strike?

It's a technique from Xuan Tian Records.

It augments my breath.

Under Xuan Tian Strike's protection,

Mr. Zhao's damage against

my Martial Soul has decreased.

His palm

didn't hurt as much.

Try again, perhaps?

What?

Impossible.

Combining them

makes them repel each other.

Don't try again then.

How did it work that time then?

What exactly is Xuan Tian Strike?

How much loss do we have to cover this time?

What's up?

You were just watching just now.

So?

It means

it doesn't count.

It's not about money.

You know that, right?

Doesn't the school need funding?

It's not the case.

Bring me to the school tomorrow.

I'll talk to the headmaster.

Headmaster.

The girl who wanted to duel Dai Mu Bai

paid again.

The more the merrier.

Of course.

This

is the money from the girl who just watched.

She wanted to talk to you.

I feel like

she means trouble.

Careful. We're almost there.

This is Shi Lan Ke.

Miss,

why are you using this for laundry?

This is not an ordinary plank.

This is...

This...

Here.

Shi Lan Ke.

Is this the school?

Yes.

Are they students?

They are...

They are villagers.

She enrolled.

So we take anyone in now?

She passed the exam

and she paid twice.

No reason not to take her in.

Is this village the school?

No,

the school is in the village.

Where's the dorm?

We don't have that.

Careful.

Slow and steady.

Headmaster!

You're the headmaster? Headmaster?

Yes.

I'm the headmaster of Shi Lan Ke,

Lander.

On behalf of Shi Lan Ke's students and staff,

welcome.

Students and staff?

Other than the freshers,

I only see 3 people.

Our Headmaster is very petty.

You're dead meat.

We're poor.

This is what we have.

We'll tell you more later.

Mu Bai.

See if something needs to be repaired there.

Bring them over.

Sure.

Come with me.

Repair?

Come.

Repair what?

You stay here.

Dai!

The Hu girl

treats you differently.

You don't know her?

No.

Think harder.

Maybe you forgot.

Headmaster didn't want to take her in.

Then she asked for a private talk.

She said she could help the school.

What can a girl do

to help the school?

Does our school have a problem?

Our biggest problem

is nosy students.

This is directed towards me, isn't it?

So this Hu girl

is coming for me?

But why?

Also,

the way she looks at you

is different.

Perhaps she has met

with Headmaster before?

A private talk...

Maybe

she is Headmaster's

long-lost daughter?

She's back now.

This story is too intriguing.

Quality content, Dai.

Quality content.

In that case,

you should eavesdrop.

I probably should.

I'll see you then.

Ignore him. He's crazy.

I can't believe

the famous Devil's School

hides in a village.

It's not hiding.

The rent here is cheap.

That's because you want to stay neutral.

Hence there are restrictions everywhere.

You know a lot.

Shi Lan Ke School

might be the only neutral school

on Douluo Continent.

Without sponsorship,

you guys are poor.

We're poor

but we're free.

I heard

the governor of Suo Tuo City

wants to cancel your school license.

He'll act soon.

Surely you want to know

how I got this information.

I know who you are.

Come with me.

No.

Wait, yes.

But...

Brother Ou.

We want to go back to town.

Can you be our guide?

Ou Si Ke will do.

We'll leave soon.

What are you looking at?

This Hu girl

went in with Headmaster.

You're stalking Headmaster?

Why are you bothered by it?

I'm just curious.

An artist draws inspiration

from his life.

Okay?

I need to stay

curious and excited.

A strong curiosity towards life

compels me to study

any

novelties that I encounter.

Look!

Over there.

Anything can happen

there.

My imagination can even

make a spectacle out of it.

When I write,

it will flow naturally.

Well, if it's purely fictional,

isn't that lying then?

It's all gibberish.

You don't understand.

People nowadays

don't want to believe

anything real.

They prefer

something dramatic.

This is the charm of art.

Got it?

I tell him...

Then...

When I'm composing,

I'm more of a lone wolf.

I'll tell you once I'm done.

What is he talking about?

Maybe he doesn't want to be disturbed.

Let's go somewhere.

We can wait.

Since you're waiting,

check this out.

Hurry up.

What is this?

My heart and soul.

Careful.

Don't come here, Headmaster.

Please.

This guy has been following you.

In fact, he's been protecting you.

Right?

What did you do to him?

Nothing.

He's just immobilized.

If I'm not mistaken,

he's an officer

from Martial Soul Hall. Like you, right?

Yes.

So?

Martial Soul Hall likes my school now?

Martial Soul Hall has nothing to do with it.

It's a personal matter.

Someone from Martial Soul Hall

wants to join another school?

I remember you said

Shi Lan Ke welcomes everyone.

Except for Martial Soul Hall.

The governor of Suo Tuo City wants

to revoke your school license.

I can help.

Are you threatening me?

You're mistaken.

It's a favor.

In exchange for your enrollment?

I'll audit.

I won't be a student.

Don't worry.

Audit?

Yes.

I will also pay

for auditing.

I know

the school needs funding.

Martial Soul Hall

has the best resource on Douluo Continent.

Why do you wish to join Shi Lan Ke?

For Dai Mu Bai.

Dai Mu Bai?

Are you two related?

Not at all.

We might be in the future.

You're not allowed to recruit

for Martial Soul Hall.

I swear not to.

You'll only audit. No lectures for you.

Thanks, Headmaster.

He's not allowed to enter the school.

As you wish.

Don't worry.

The school is safe.

Headmaster will protect me.

I will stay in Suo Tuo City.

Find me if anything.

An officer takes orders from you.

Where does that guy come from?

It's him.

Do you know him?

He's Su Yun Tao,

an officer from Martial Soul Hall.

He helped me to

awaken my Martial Soul.

Martial Soul Hall?

This is complicated.

My play.

How is it?

Do you like it?

This...

Yes, this.

I wrote this.

My biggest dream

is to be

an actor in a circus,

performing the play I wrote.

I will bring art

to every corner of Douluo Continent.

When that day comes,

I'll die without regret.

Excuse me,

but one question.

You're a Soul Master, aren't you?

Yes.

But...

Having a Martial Soul

doesn't mean I have to be a Soul Master.

Don't you think

my dream serves a greater purpose?

Art!

My dream is to make art.

I'm sorry.

We're not good with arts.

It's fine.

Everyone is equal in front of art.

So,

how's my play?

It's not bad.

How so?

Just tell me honestly.

The play is good

but the villain inside is weird.

He has no motives.

You...

I made that up.

Spot on.

In this play,

the villain's motive and plot

are the weakest points.

You noticed straight away.

You're good, Tang San.

Are you professional?

No, I made it up.

Even more impressive!

Instinct is an artist's

greatest weapon.

Don't you know?

We should discuss

the villain's character.

How about it?

We want to go to the town, Ou.

I'll guide you two.

Let's discuss on the way.

Wu!

Do you like my play?

Yes, yes.

Did you notice the plot twist?

He thought he knew that.

Do you like it?

Rose Inn

Normally,

those who guide freshers

will wait here for announcements.

Why is the door locked then?

Lander founded Rose Inn.

It was meant to make a profit

and fund Shi Lan Ke school.

No one visited the inn,

so every year

it becomes the place for the admission exam.

It only opened once, then it closed down.

Why is the school so poor?

Let me tell you.

In Suo Tuo City, the Seven Clans

and other parties

tried to fund us,

but we refused them.

Why?

Headmaster said:

"I don't want

Shi Lan Ke to be sponsored by anyone

because

the school

will then become a pawn.

I'm responsible for my students.

And

I don't want

my students

to take sides

and have their path set in stone

before they discover who they truly are.

This is plain irresponsible.

Do you understand?

It sounds dumb, right?

It's decent.

I quite...

Pick your own path, right?

Of course.

I already know

where I want to go.

I will be an actor.

I will write plays.

I will create arts.

Did Headmaster encourage you

after knowing your decision?

He also said that

if I didn't change my dream,

he'd burn all my plays.

That reminds me that

I should stow away

my plays later.

Thank you.

Master!

We passed the exam.

What happened, sir?

After I ushered you two in yesterday,

someone from Martial Soul Hall

entered Rose Inn.

This is Rose Inn.

Let me show you what I wrote.

Are they here

for what happened in Nuoding?

No one came to us.

Only students were present yesterday.

Good then.

You're still wanted.

Be cautious.

Noted.

Hi.

Are you Tang San's teacher?

I'm from Shi Lan Ke,

Ou...

Ou Si Ke.

By the way,

amongst the students,

did you notice someone

with a bamboo hat?

bamboo hat?

Yes.

Oriental hat.

She's called

Hu Lie Na.

You know, this girl...

If she ever acts,

she's perfect

for a cunning and complex villain.

This reminds me of Headmaster.

Headmaster has always been single.

Based on my observations,

he has zero luck with girls.

But this time, he spent

a long time

talking to her in a room.

It's his own room.

There's a stranger inside too.

Something's fishy.

Please summarise everything in ten words.

She was then talking to Headmaster privately in his room.

Ten words.

Ten words!

Right?

Exactly ten.

Master...

I feel like

the stories I want to tell

should be told succinctly,

with easy-to-understand words.

That's how it should be.

The audience will understand

my stories better.

Thanks, Master.

Thank you.

You gave me an epiphany.

Headmaster is what Hu Lie Na wants.

She might be from Martial Soul Hall too.

When did Shi Lan Ke

become associated

with Martial Soul Hall?

We're not related

to Martial Soul Hall at all.

Su Yun Tao was there too.

Was he who you wanted to meet?
