[Douluo Continent]

[Episode 33]

When we are fighting He Ye Qiu, the longer it drags on, the rate of victory decreases.

More importantly, the body protection of Spirit must be anticipated.

Otherwise when it's hit, it's harder to eliminate him.

Ye Zhi Qiu's Spirit is very unique but after confirming the truth,

there's still some chance of winning.

Teacher is indeed more knowledgeable for being able to see through his Spirit.

By the way, before we compete with Blue Sunshine Academy, there's another competition.

Do you know who your opponent is?

I do. It's Blazing Academy.

Blazing Academy?

What's wrong? Something unique about them?

There are various sects in the Spirit Master Academy.

The most extreme focuses on only just one Spirit.

I don't quite understand.

To put it simply, Blazing Academy only accepts Fire Spirit Masters.

Other Spirit Masters were rejected.

Are you saying all their students are in the Fire System?

Wouldn't this be easy to control?

Your Blue Silver Grass should be more fearful of Fire Spirit System.

What you should do next, it's to temper the fire resistance of Blue Silver Grass.

How do I do this?

- Ma Hong Jun! - What?

All the academies have competed in competitions,

Draw up a list of the academies we should pay attention to.

Draft a response proposal,

especially for Shrek Academy.

Ponder carefully about Tang San's Blue Silver Grass

- on how to go against him. - Alright.

How's Dugu Bo?

He agreed to help us take concrete actions. He's waiting for our notification.

Excellent. You performed well today.

If you take actions against me,

I will take back your Spirit Technique.

You have regained your memories.

Mind control is not forever.

There's always a chance for a person with a strong willpower to regain his memories.

Hence, when you dared to take actions, you felt that you could win.

Just kill me.

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

The grand competition

has started.

The name list for the battle can't be amended.

If I die, how can Blue Sunshine Academy continue to participate in the competition?

Do you think you can threaten me in this manner?

Blue Sunshine Academy's great strength,

isn't it just for entering the final?

It's not a big deal to control you again.

I understand the Psychic System.

After failing in mind control and trying again in a short period of time,

there's a high probability that I would lose my sanity.

It's also good to turn into a puppet.

If I lose my sanity,

how can I go on stage to compete?

If Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall sees something abnormal,

what will happen?

What is your term?

I-I want to live.

I have never planned to kill you.

Although I don't know your concrete plan

but looking at how you behaved towards us, I know you don't plan to keep us alive.

Fine. I give you my promise.

After reaching the final and the plan has been completed,

I can set you free.

I'm going to see Clear Sky Douluo.

- Why are you seeing him? - I only trust his promise.

He's not at Tian Dou City.

Where is he?

Wait till the final and when you are at Spirit City, you will get to see him.

I agreed to your term.

I'm taking back your Spirit.

I want to meet some of the people in the competition team.

Ye Zhi Qiu,

stop trying to gain more with what you have been given.

With their current condition, they need to be taken care of.

Fine.

You can take charge of their meals

but don't even think of releasing them.

Your friends are not like you. Without me,

they won't recover.

I know.

Hence, before I complete your plan,

let them recover back to their former selves.

I can do this.

What exactly is your plan

to enter the final? What will we be doing?

If you have any questions, when you meet Clear Sky Douluo,

you can ask him.

Your Spirit's sneak attack is not bad.

I look forward to seeing you in the final.

You are really not afraid of fire?

With such a strong fire resistance, Older Brother Dai and I don't need to compete.

You both are going against the killers of Blue Sunshine Academy. Of course, you can't dispose of them at random.

Should we call Teacher Erlong here to give it a try? Her flame is more aggressive.

She's the Seven Spirit Ring Master.

Give it a try.

Today's the competition. Your Highness, are you going to observe it?

Although I hate Shrek Academy

but I admit that they are very strong.

There probably won't be any cliffhanger at the venue today.

Your Highness, how did you think of

coming to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?

There is a female student at Shrek Academy

whose Spirit is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

She should be a disciple from your ancestor's clan.

Making a conclusion on just a mere Martial Spirit,

I fear it's not accurate.

If not for her,

Clan Leader Ning wouldn't be at the auction

to buy Tang San's herbs.

Prince, are you here to publicly denounce his crime?

I investigated. That girl is Ning Rong Rong.

Not long ago, when she first joined Shrek Academy,

she was just a Grand Spirit Master with two Spirit Rings.

I didn't expect that, within a short period of time,

she was promoted to the Four Spirit Rings of the Spirit Ancestor.

If we talk about the age of Spirit Ancestor, how many are there in the Ning family?

She's the only one.

Hence, she's a talent. With such a talent,

we should take her back and intensively cultivate her.

Prince, are you teaching us what to do?

Your own disciple are at other people's academy.

It won't be a good thing.

If you need my help,

let me know as soon as possible.

What does he want by coming here and saying such things?

He wants me to bring Rong Rong back to the clan.

What does he gain from that?

He wants to break up the Shrek team.

He's a Prince. Why is he paying so much attention to an academy?

I feel that something is strange too.

For an academy, Prince Xue Xing

even came here personally.

I keep feeling that he's being excessive.

That means even Teacher Er Long cannot burn through your Blue Silver Grass?

This is probably because I ate the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass

and absorbed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Hence, my Blue Silver Grass is probably immune to both fire and water now.

That's impressive!

How should we fight this round?

We'll have to see what the competition rules are.

Competitors for the third round of the Spirit Master Academy Grand Competition,

Shrek Academy and Blazing Academy.

Team Leaders of both teams, please go onto the stage to draw the competition rules.

- I'm going over. - Alright.

I think it doesn't matter what the rules are.

We even defeated Tian Dou Royal Academy's second team. Would we be afraid of these fire players?

- That's right. - Let's win this round quickly,

so that we can prepare well for the match with Blue Sunshine Academy.

Didn't Grandmaster already guess Ye Zhi Qiu's Spirit?

We can definitely win against Blue Sunshine Academy.

If you ask me, we already ate Immortal Herbs.

- Who knows? Maybe we'll win every round and be the champion. - True.

We cannot take our opponents lightly. We have to give our all for every match.

Grandmaster, why aren't you saying anything?

Mentor, how do you think we should fight in the match against Blue Sunshine Academy?

There's no hurry. We'll discuss it after this match. They're drawing the rules now.

Alright.

Five member team battle. Each team will send five people onto the stage.

The fight will continue until everyone from a team is down.

- Come. - What?

You can fight in the next round. Cheer for us now.

Childish. All the best!

Wait for our good news.

Childish!

All the best!

All the best!

It can really withstand the attack from the flames.

We've been surrounded.

Blue Silver Prison!

They dare stand so far apart? Aren't they afraid we'll defeat them one by one?

Tang San, let's attack.

Hold on, let the flames come over.

When they realize that the Blue Silver Grass cannot be burnt,

they'll definitely be surprised and alarmed.

When they're unable to think of a solution immediately, we'll take the opportunity to attack.

That's good. We'll give them a good scare.

This fire is coming over so slowly.

Spirit Overlay.

- The flames are higher. - The color has changed too.

What use does the color change have?

And it's really slow. The fire hasn't even come over till now.

It's still changing.

Isn't it a little hot? Rong Rong, do you feel hot?

A little.

It's so hot. Do they intend to just drag it out?

We'll drag this out with them then. They're using up their power faster than we are anyway.

Tang San, I can teleport over and attack one of them.

Let's wait a bit more. We'll attack together later.

Prince Xue Xing isn't here today?

Look.

Seeing that we kept winning,

he must have gotten so angry and didn't want to watch anymore.

Are these people crazy?

They keep using their Spirit Techniques to maintain the wall of fire,

but they're not attacking.

Aren't we going to attack yet?

Get ready to attack. Break through the wall of fire and attack them individually.

Why are my eyes getting blurry?

Are you dizzy?

Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass...

Tang San, what's wrong with you?

I'm a little breathless.

Tang San,

My head is dizzy too.

What's going on? Is this a Psychic... attack?

How can it be? They're all Fire Spirit Masters.

Actually, I'm very surprised too.

You people actually just stayed in there without moving.

It's time for things to come to an end.

How did that happen?

Get ready to bring them down. We've already lost.

Impossible. Brother San's Blue Silver Grass isn't afraid of fire now.

They've already lost consciousness. How can they use their Spirit?

But the fire did not reach them.

What... Spirit Technique is this?

This is not a Spirit Technique.

We are simply giving off flames.

The only thing special about it

is that the five of us can overlay and increase the power of the flames.

No Spirit Technique?

Actually, the power of fire

is not just burning.

Five people from Shrek Academy has lost consciousness.

Blazing Academy wins.

I feel that out of the five people in the opposing team,

there must be a Psychic Spirit Master in the mix. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

They didn't any Psychic Spirit Master.

Mentor.

Everyone, come over.

What for?

Why did the fire go out?

Because the air around you contains something that the fire needs in order to burn.

So when Grandmaster put on the lid just now,

the air became insufficient and the fire went out?

This is one out of the two reasons why Blazing defeated you all.

When all of you stood in the middle of the stage, it was like being trapped in a cup created by the flames.

As the fire burned, the air became depleted.

You couldn't breathe and that's why you passed out.

The fire is burning up the air?

What's the second reason?

Underestimating your opponent.

Tang San, stand up.

You're the one determining the battle tactics. When the opponent was setting up the wall of fire,

why didn't you counterattack in time?

Tang San wanted to use his Blue Silver Grass to withstand a round of attack.

We were going to counterattack when they were taken by surprise.

You wanted to destroy the opponent's confidence.

Because you believed that they cannot break through your Blue Silver Grass no matter what.

I heard everything that you people said before the competition began.

I think it doesn't matter what the rules are. We even defeated Tian Dou Royal Academy's second team. Would we be afraid of these fire players?

- Am I right? - That's right.

Let's win this round quickly, so that we can prepare well for the match with Blue Sunshine Academy.

Didn't Grandmaster already guess Ye Zhi Qiu's Spirit?

We can definitely win against Blue Sunshine Academy. If you ask me,

we already ate Immortal Herbs.

Who knows? Maybe we'll win every round and be the champion.

You're already looking down on your opponent after winning twice?

Thinking you're the greatest power in the whole world?

But Tang San didn't say that

He may not say it but the tactics he laid out do it for him!

It didn't take the opponent into consideration at all!

In the end, you lost before the opponent even had to bring out their Spirit abilities!

Mentor, I was wrong

You were all wrong! Which of you dares to say you weren't arrogant?

Looking down on a Fire Spirit Master

Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass has been looked down on before

Have you ever been inferior?

What do you tell yourself?

"There is no such thing as a useless spirit. There are only useless people"

Bit louder! - "There is no such thing as a useless spirit"

"There are only useless people"

What is a useless person?

Arrogant. Ignorant. Unobservant.

Today, you had no respect for your battle!

You are ALL useless people!

We are not useless!

We were just careless today

If it were a life or death battle, you would be dead!

What is the point of excuses?

Everyone is now Four Spirit Rings. You ate immortal herbs

You are geniuses among geniuses

They didn't even show their Spirit Skills in this battle!

They just beat you down! Don't you feel ashamed?

Those who did not compete should think about your mentality as well.

Is it the same as theirs?

Clan leader Ning

You scold well

Rong Rong doesn't know you came?

Don't tell her yet

Teenagers easily become passionate and excited

But after encountering setbacks,

also the most dejected

After you scold them, leave them to reflect on themselves

Like this, they will collapse or rise above it

I believe in them

When you think of everyone in the city, haven't they all lost in the arena at some point?

But the opponents at that time were better than us

But those students

Several of them were only Three Spirit Rings

Just like me. I love to fight, but don't always win

I lose this time, next time I fight again

Xiao Wu is right. Losing once doesn't mean losing for a lifetime

Lately we really have become arrogant. Underestimated them

Every word Mentor scolded us was right

But doubting ourselves can cause us to lose

They made us faint without even using Spirit Skills

Can you accept it?

Blazing Academy is very strong

And their use of Fire Spirit is extremely skilled. But I still can't accept

Me too. I respect them

But I still want to fight them again

Exactly. Just to use our abilities

Take another crack at it

What if we lose again?

If we lose, then practice harder

Didn't you say? Losing once is not losing for a lifetime

The next battle we face is Blue Sunshine Academy

Stronger and more dangerous than Blazing Academy

Then go beat them!

Yes. Become stronger and beat them!

We will be stronger! - Stronger!

Stronger! - Definitely stronger! - Yes!

Stronger! - Good! - Definitely stronger!

Very spirited

Dad!

You said you met someone who defeated you?

Clan Leader Ning. In fact, we can cooperate

Was Grandpa Jian not with you?

He was there too

Grandpa Jian was defeated just like that?

It was a sneak attack. All we could see was the black smoke

Smoke, are you sure? Was it green?

No, it was unmistakably black

The smoke of Poison Douluo is green. It wasn't him

The other party seems to have the ability to hide

Your Grandpa Jian was injured first and fell unconscious

But even if he was attacked,

Grandpa Jian is a Titled Douluo! - That's right

Only a Titled Douluo can defeat another Titled douluo

A Titled Douluo who secretly attacks others in spite of his identity

What does the other party want with our clan?

I want to help you. Help you in this era

Revive the prestige of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

You...how do you know this name?

Just cooperate. I will provide sufficient resources

For the transformation of Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, lay a good foundation

Let the Spirit of your bloodline return to it's peak

Isn't this what Clan Leader Ning has pursued his whole life?

Is it that important to have two more layers?

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it's our clan's legacy

The miracle created by our founding ancestor

It is also the hope of our sect to rise higher - Wait

So that's why you agreed to cooperate?

I had no choice

But he attacked you!

The hope of the sect to enhance our Spirit was more important

When did this happen?

You must have considered why I suddenly sent you to Shrek Academy

So this is the real reason I came to Shrek?

That's right. After I promised to cooperate,

I sent you away from the clan for the first time

If anything went wrong, you would be safer outside

Uncle Ning, I want to ask -

What did he specifically ask you to do?

Soon, Spirit Hall will be hosting an -

all Douluo Continent wide Spirit Master Academy Grand Competition

The finals will be held in Spirit City

Are you asking my clan's academy to compete?

That doesn't matter

My request is simple. On the final day,

You and Sword Douluo will justify coming to Spirit City -

as tournament spectators

And then?

I want you to kill someone for me

Kill who? - I will give you the answer at the final

Instinct tells me, this competition means big trouble

And so, I asked you to go Shrek Academy for a specific reason

Shrek Academy was not eligible to participate

You can imagine, when I discovered you were in Tian Dou City,

and Shrek was preparing to compete,

What a headache I had

So you could only let Grandpa Jian take me away

I wanted him to hide you

I didn't expect you to be taken away by a fool

Fool? Who's a fool?

Didn't you take me with you?

Fool.

There is another Titled Douluo who uses poison.

He was also asked to go to Spirit City.

- Father, are you still going? - Yes.

Yes, I will go.

But right now, I already have Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

There will be sudden changes in the entire Douluo Continent. Everyone will gather in Spirit City.

As a Spirit Master, how can I miss?

I need to go there and see what will happen.

But, what if you met that Titled Douluo who threatened you?

Your Grandpa Jian said it before. When you fight for the first time,

they will realize. He probably won't sneak attack the second time.

Then, you guys need to be more careful.

Right now, you guys need to be careful.

Spirit City Final Competition, it will be like a raging storm.

Are you guys prepared to go to the finals?

I have my own reasons so I have to join the competitions.

But everyone else could withdraw and they don't have to take the risk with me.

My older brother is waiting for me at the finals so I also need to go to Spirit City.

Wherever Tang San is going, I'll follow.

Brother San, you helped me before so I'll help you to get into finals.

- I won't withdraw. -Me neither.

Rong Rong, you have to think clearly. Don't rush.

Father, you also knew. It was Brother San who gave the immortal herb to me.

So that I can mutate my Spirit into Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

You say, if I withdraw right now, do I still have the rights to say my surname is Ning?

That's right. Our Ning Family

will never choose to run away.

Ou Si Ke, you don't need to continue.

Me?

Your dream was to become an artist. You don't need to join us for the competitions.

No, I...I.. I'm Auxiliary.

I'm very useful in battles.

You still have me, an Auxiliary.

You... should chase your own dreams.

B-B-But, Headmaster....

We will tell the Headmaster.

You've already followed us for a long time.

Next, it's our turn to support your dream.

- Yes. - No...

I... I have some things to buy.

If you need anything else, let's talk about it after I come back.

Okay, it looks like only one person withdrew.

Rong Rong, we will support your decision.

If you guys can enter the finals,

Grandpa Jian and I will wait for you guys in Spirit City.

Uncle Ning, don't worry. The Titled Douluo who uses poison,

will also go to Spirit City to protect us.

Rong Rong will definitely be safe.

Alright, alright.

Rong Rong...

That fool's dream was not to become a Spirit Master?

His biggest dream is to perform in establish a theater.

He will write plays by himself and perform.

Then, he really likes to perform.

So, that time when he desperately wanted to rescue you, was he acting?

How can that be?

Actually, this fool is very bad at acting.

T-Then, that's good.

Rong Rong, don't tell me you like that fool?

Father!

What do you need?

How do you sell flint powder?

It's based on ignition quality to give you the price.

Most importantly, what do you need it for?

To put them inside of my iron staff.

- Iron staff? - Yes.

It will burn up if you stimulated the heat.

It can be used as a surprise on the stage.

Stage?

Are you joining the Spirit Master Academy Grand Competition?

I did join.

But I don't need to go on the stage.

Why?

Being a Spirit Master is not my dream.

So, these are useless to me.

What are you doing? I was just walking around here.

You... Why aren't you letting me go?

Are you Ou Si Ke?

Don't be afraid. If I'm going to hurt you,

I won't appear like this.

Then, Your Highness, don't tell me that we've encountered by chance.

Of course, not.

I was waiting for you.

Relax a bit.

Don't you know about the three big theaters in Tian Dou City?

Which one do you like?

What?

Don't you know about Tian Dou CIty's three big theaters?

Of course, I know.

The best actors and the best plays.

Three big theaters are a gem for the world of artists.

It's in the heart of every entertainers...

It's our temple, of course I know.

It's good you like it.

T-This...for me?

W-What does that mean?

There is an empty space on the bottom.

Add your name.

Array of Star Theater will be yours.

- I... - Yes, you didn't hear it wrong.

This is just a theater transfer form.

Array of Star is one of the biggest out of the three major theaters.

It needs a new helmsman.

Spirit Power Armor can only last for a short amount of time.

So, we need a short amount of time to defeat Ye Zhi Qiu.

So we won't be affected by his Spirit Skill.

We still need to think about the other four students from Blue Sunshine Academy.

The time we have to defeat Ye Zhi Qiu

must be controlled in a very short amount of time.

Okay! Then we have to do everything by attacking fiercely.

I'll decide on different tactics so it can be used in every kind of situations.

Let's go back and ask everyone to have practice drill.

Alright.

Young Master.

We are friends, not master nor servant.

My grandfather wanted me to call you that.

- You can call me, Tang San, in private. - No way!

My grandfather will beat me up if he heard that.

It's okay, I'll explain it for you.

- Come, come in first then talk. - Okay.

Prince Xue Xing urged my grandpa to take over Array of Star.

Array of Star? Is it an academy name?

It's a theater! Tian Dou City's three biggest theaters, don't you know?

It's okay. After all, it's a very famous theater.

But, why the Prince need to buy a theater?
