Remembering the old days in a trance
We are destined to fight together
The past has gone but the memory lasts
Our happiness and sorrow in the good old days
The journey is difficult, through the crowds, to the end of time
I'm brave and undefeatable
The sky has become dark and the birds have returned home
Breaking all obstacles and reaching the peak above the clouds
Watching the thin plumes of smoke and the beautiful scenery
Working together, overcoming all difficulties
I will be known as the fearless one
Episode 28
What about you?
I'm just going to die.
I thought you would give it a try.
Well.
You saved my granddaughter,
and I'm indebted to you.
You don't have to risk your life.
That means I've done whatever I should?
Yes, you have.
All right. Fulfill your promise.
Two thousand gold spirit coins.
I don't have the money.
As I live here, whatever I eat and use,
it's sent by the royal family.
I don't have money.
Then why did you promise me?
I wanted to save Yan Yan at that time, so I just made a promise.
Then...
All right.
The second condition.
Help me find the Titled Douluo behind Blue Sunshine Academy.
You mean...
You suspected that Shi Nian who is in the Mind Branch
has controlled Clear Sky Douluo?
That's right.
No way.
What do you mean?
A Titled Douluo
is someone who sees through the nature of Martial Spirit.
Unless they meet someone who is in the Mind Branch with Nine Spirit Rings.
Otherwise,
they couldn't be controlled.
So, if Clear Sky Douluo really stands behind Blue Sunshine Academy,
he won't be affected by the Mind Branch.
You're right.
Then why didn't you mention it when you promised me?
I was eager to save someone.
I just made a promise.
So...
You didn't keep either of your promises.
No matter what, it's still a good ending.
You...
As a Titled Douluo with Nine Spirit Rings,
you can't even keep your promises.
What promise?
I've been staying in this cave and have rarely talked to people,
how could I know about keeping promises?
I only know how to make poison here.
You...
What's wrong?
Xiao Wu, let's go back to the academy.
Wait.
Now what?
I can't give you 2,000 gold spirit coins.
But I have another way to repay you.
It depends on how capable you are.
A valley within a mountain?
Initially, this was also a mountain.
Then how did this valley take shape?
Many years ago,
a Titled Douluo with Nine Spirit Rings
fought a battle with Spirit Hall here.
Someone crushed the peak and made this valley.
Such a big valley was left by the battle?
How powerful were the Spirit Masters fighting?
The Titled Douluo with Nine Spirit Rings.
There was more than one.
Who were they?
I have no idea.
At that time, I was Spirit Saint with Seven Spirit Rings.
I only dared to come closer long after the battle had ended.
When I came here,
I realised
that many herbs were growing here.
Either for making poison or medicine,
the herbs were quite precious.
So, I decided to stay here to pursue my studies.
Finally, I've got Nine Spirit Rings.
Then...
What does it have to do with the payment?
Brother, look.
There are so many herbs.
So, these herbs are the payment?
Then how many should we pluck to make up 2,000 gold spirit coins?
I don't sell herbs.
How can I know?
You...
Brother, forget it. Since we're already here,
let's just pluck some.
Actually, there is a barrier.
Behind it,
there is a space that I cannot enter.
The space behind it
might have something more precious
than the herbs you see here.
There might be some unknown danger,
or nothing at all.
It feels cool.
There might really be something inside.
But why don't you enter?
I've tried many times,
but still fail to enter it.
Can't enter it?
Tang San.
Use your Blue Silver Grass.
Even I with Nine Spirit Rings can't enter it.
I think you two...
They just entered it?
This...
How did we reach here suddenly?
This is...
Rare Powerful Chrysanthemum?
Is this a herb?
This isn't just a normal herb.
It's a premium herb.
Premium?
A magical herb that contains Spirit Power.
Wait, this is...
Eight Petal Fairy Orchid?
Why are these all premium herbs?
What kind of place is this?
I have no idea, either.
I only remember that I was feeling dizzy and then I got here.
It's so beautiful.
I have been here in my dream.
Dream?
In your dream, does this shining circle exist too?
Yes.
Ever since childhood, I've been having the same dream.
I dreamt of this place.
And then?
There was a woman's voice
calling my name in the dream.
Woman's voice?
I didn't hear it.
I can't believe this place actually exists.
But why did I dream of this place?
It sounds so magical.
Did the Blue Silver Grass in your dream shine too?
It didn't.
But the surroundings looked just the same.
Maybe, this light is the key.
Xiao Wu, we're up in the air now.
Xiao Wu, are you all right?
Finally you're here, Tang San.
This is the voice in my dream.
Who are you?
I'm your mother.
I know you have questions,
but I can't hear them.
I don't believe it.
My dad has never told me anything about my mother.
I don't believe you.
Xiao Wu, let's go.
Before I passed away,
I hid the power of Blue Silver Grass in your heart.
That's why you dreamt of this place.
Don't lie to me.
Don't lie to me with this matter!
On the day of your birth,
when I was hugging you,
you were so tiny and soft.
I brought you to this world,
but I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a mother.
I didn't get the chance to hug you more
or watch you growing up.
That's my greatest regret.
I'll never forgive myself.
Son, I'm sorry.
I owe you a lot.
How old are you now?
Have you grown up?
I told your father to hide everything about me.
If you don't become a Spirit Master,
if you don't practice the Mysterious Heaven Records,
then you won't be here
and hear what I've just said.
You'll live your life in peace.
Isn't that good too?
Since you're here,
it proves that you have potential.
You're my hope.
I don't get it.
I left the Mysterious Heaven Records to you.
My death was related to it.
The day when you were born,
Qian Xunji, Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall led the other Spirit Masters to kill me.
There were two reasons.
One, my real identity.
You don't need to know for now.
When you're ready,
your dad will tell you.
The second reason was the Mysterious Heaven Records.
For a thousand years in Douluo Continent,
the Spirit Master system has been so strong
that Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts are irreconcilable.
They will go to war one day.
Mysterious Heaven Records could be another way of training.
It's another type of power that no longer requires Martial Spirit.
Replacing the Spirit Masters?
If it really succeeds,
then Spirit Masters will be in the past,
and Spirit Hall will vanish too.
So Pontiff Qian Xunji of Spirit Hall wouldn't spare me.
Unfortunately,
Your dad and I failed to learn the Mysterious Heaven Records.
So we suspected that someone has to master the Mysterious Heaven Records
and use it as the base, and then train their Spirit Skills and become a Spirit Master.
Only then can he fully utilise the power of the Mysterious Heaven Records.
So,
since you're here,
it proves that this is the right way.
Telling you the truth
doesn't mean I want you to take revenge.
It's just the opposite.
I hope you won't have hatred in your heart.
You have your own mission and future.
Don't let hatred blind you and ruin your life.
My only wish is that you can live well,
and advance your Spirit Skills and your practice of the Mysterious Heaven Records
to the greatest extent.
And then find a way that Spirit Masters won't depend on Martial Spirits anymore.
The future of Douluo Continent lies in your hand.
Unfortunately,
I won't be able to witness it.
Tang San.
I gave you your name.
Three give birth to everything.
It's simple yet hopeful.
At the same time, I was a bit selfish.
Your dad, you, and I, the three of us would make a family.
When you were born, it was the happiest moment in my life.
Your dad and I would have a meaning in our lives from then on.
I have almost a thousand, or even ten thousand things to tell you.
I wish to give you everything.
But my path has come to an end.
I'm sorry, my son.
I'm sorry.
In this interspace that I've created,
I've left some herbs for you.
I guess you must have seen them
on your way here.
Maybe these herbs can help you in the future.
Also, this divine herb above the premium
and Ice Fire Mouth Spring are my real gifts for you.
This is Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet.
This flower feeds on love, and is extremely useful.
Before I died,
I had hidden all my Spirit Power in this flower.
I hope it can help you become powerful.
Live well.
This is Ice Fire Mouth Spring.
It can help you to absorb the Spirit Beast that is beyond your capacity.
Actually, I want to give you
my company and the warmth of a family.
But I can't do it.
These gifts, this power, I hope they can protect you.
Mom, I don't want anything.
I just want you to come back!
I don't want anything else.
I used up my last power to create this interspace.
Apart from you,
no one can enter here.
Not even your father.
I couldn't imagine how strong his hatred
towards Spirit Hall would be after my death.
I hope you can accompany him.
Don't let him fall into the abyss of revenge
or lose his humanity.
Blue Sunshine Academy.
Revenge on Spirit Hall.
Son, there's something I must tell you.
You're my most beloved one in this world.
You must be healthy and happy.
Learn to be kind.
Don't be afraid of hardship.
My heart will always be with you.
Tang San.
I really wish to see you.
Goodbye.
No! Mom!
I'm here.
Mom!
He saved my life?
Then how should I repay his kindness?
I brought the two of them to the Dream Valley.
I didn't expect they would really enter it to look for treasures within.
Impossible.
We've tried so many times and we still failed to enter.
Yes, I'm curious too.
Clearly, you've locked them up.
They are my saviours!
How is that possible?
Why should I lock them up?
I wasn't lying.
Find them back.
I can't do anything if they don't come out.
Since your poison is cured now,
it doesn't matter if they are coming back or not.
Besides, I'm not close to them.
But they are my friends!
Just find new ones.
Actually, we're not merely friends.
We treat each other like old friends
and are considering getting married.
What?
Maybe...
Maybe he'll become your grandson-in-law.
If you don't find him,
I can't live anymore!
This...
That brat.
Don't cry.
Don't cry. I'll look for him.
I think I fell asleep.
This spring looks magical.
When did it appear?
Brother.
What happened?
Are you all right?
This is my mom.
You mean the voice in your dream?
She left this place.. for me.
The voice in my dream,
it was her calling me.
Now I know.
She has been guiding me to this place.
Guiding you here?
Did you see her?
She's gone.
Xiao Wu, do you know?
Ever since young,
other kids have been accompanied by their mothers.
Except me.
That's why I really wish...
No.
I was very much eager to know things about my mom.
But all this time, my dad hasn't told me anything.
In order to know my mom's Martial Spirit,
I purposely went to the Martial Spirit Awakening Rite.
When I knew that I have Twin Martial Spirits,
that I'm so lucky to have inherited both my parents' Martial Spirits,
I knew I have to work harder.
Having undergone extreme hardships,
no matter how difficult it is, I'll never give up.
Because I remember what my dad told me.
Remember, in the future,
to use the Hammer on your left hand
to protect the Grass on your right hand.
Always.
I have to be like my dad
and always protect my mom.
Brother.
Actually, our looks are the combination of our parents.
So, you somehow look like your mom.
I'll show you if you don't believe it.
Look.
Over here.
You look like Uncle Tang.
So, here!
It should look like your mom.
Let's go out in a while.
Your Martial Spirit is gone too.
We should hurry and think of a way.
It's strange.
After I woke up, I can feel the Spirit Power running within my body.
Not only my Martial Spirit has been recovered, but my Spirit Power is also full.
I feel like I can advance to Spirit Ancestor of Four Spirit Rings.
My Spirit Power is full too.
I'm ready to advance.
How did that happen?
Probably Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet
transferred the Spirit Power to you.
This is...
It's a premium herb.
My mom left her Spirit Power in it.
Then why did she give it to me?
That's great.
As long as you can recover, it's great.
It's strange. I feel that I'm connected to this flower.
As though it's protecting me.
This spring is called Ice Fire Mouth Spring.
It's my mom's gift as well.
Ice Fire Mouth Spring?
The magical spring in the legend?
I heard that it can help Spirit Masters to absorb Spirit Rings beyond their limits.
But I also heard that after the spring is absorbed, it'll disappear.
So I only have one chance?
Yes.
This was formed by my mom's energy.
I can't bear to absorb it.
Oh, right.
This flower, you should keep it.
You're the first person who touched it.
This flower will be just like me, accompanying you forever.
Let's stay for a while before we leave.
Before we go,
remember to grab some premium herbs.
Brother, how do we get out now?
Hold my hand.
We're back.
You're poisoned?
Both of you finally came out?
What's inside?
Nothing much.
Fine.
Follow me back and discuss your marriage.
Go!
Marriage?
I was just joking around.
How could you joke about that?
Because he saved my life!
What does it have to do with this?
I know you well.
If I hadn't said so, would you have gone out and looked for him?
You little girl.
But, he's quite cute.
Sounds good if we really get married.
Are you being serious this time?
I'm serious! How about I prove it to you?
How?
I'll kiss him.
No way!
Why not?
I was just joking.
Don't be holding the herbs.
Here, put them in the box.
There is someone I like.
I won't take Tang San away from you.
Who do you like?
What will you do after I tell you about it?
Catch him back to marry you.
Then I surely won't tell you.
Why would I have such a disobedient granddaughter like you?
I learnt that from you!
What are you looking at? Hurry and go back.
Go.
Senior.
I want to make a deal with you again.
I'll cure your poison,
and you help our academy to get into the final.
Cure my poison?
How?
I only need this Octa Dark Frost.
Where did you get it?
The interspace.
You just came and easily found the interspace.
You even got so many premium herbs.
What's the use of this herb?
Don't touch!
What's wrong?
It's the most poisonous herb.
What are you going to do with it?
Cure your grandfather's poison.
Isn't this the most poisonous herb?
Octa Dark Frost can gather all the poisons in the body,
and unleash its own poison.
Then how will it cure him?
I was concerned that the poison in my body is changing all the time.
With this, the poison will be fixed.
With my ability as Poison Douluo, it's easy to cure the poison.
Kid, this is great.
You're smart to think of counteracting one poison with another.
I'll take this gift.
Senior, let me be frank.
This isn't a gift, it's a deal.
Help your academy to enter the final?
That's right.
But I can't fight for you
in the academy tournament.
We can handle the tournament.
But whatever that is beyond the tournament,
we need your help.
But...
I don't have 2,000 gold spirit coins.
We can solve the money problem ourselves.
Great.
All right, you can go back first.
After I've cured the poison,
I'll look for you.
Xiao Wu, let's go.
I swear, I won't kiss him.
Both of you have come back?
You're back?
Come. Let's talk along the way.
You're back?
We were going to look for you.
I've also brought gifts for you all.
Gifts?
Weren't you captured? Sounds like you were on a vacation.
Brother Dai, this is yours.
I'm glad that you're back.
You don't need to bring a gift for me.
Open and see.
Have a look.
It feels like he's proposing to you.
Rare Powerful Chrysanthemum!
Premium herb.
It's super effective for your Power Attack Type Martial Spirit.
It suits you very much!
After eating it, you should be able to advance to Four Spirit Rings.
But...
How should I eat this?
First the stamen, then the petals. Don't eat the rhizome.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Third Brother, what about me?
There you go.
My goodness.
Eight Petal Fairy Orchid.
Eight Petal Fairy Orchid is mild.
It suits Auxiliary Food System Spirit Masters like you.
This suits you more than Rare Powerful Chrysanthemum does.
These two are premium herbs.
Did you unearth Poison Douluo's treasure?
Daffodil Jade Beauty suits your Agility Attack Type Martial Spirit.
Thank you.
Hongjun.
Let me see.
Rongrong.
Mine? Thank you.
Yours is good.
Mine is cooked?
Cockscomb Phoenix Flower can refine your flame,
empower your flame power, and avoid loss of control.
Thank you, Third Brother.
Mine is shining.
Silk Woven Tulip purifies the essence. It's suitable
for Auxiliary System Martial Spirits to advance.
This is so great!
If Xiao Wu weren't here,
I would just give you a kiss.
Third Brother must have stolen Poison Douluo's treasure.
We should hurry and eat them,
so that he can't have any evidence.
We can't let him have any chance to grab them away.
Let's go.
She's right. She's got a point.
Ma Hongjun, follow me.
Come.
Have a seat.
What's the matter?
It's your first time eating this kind of premium herb, right?
Yes.
Don't you also think this moment is very important?
I think we should eat them together,
so there is a sense of ritual.
I'm also a person who pays attention to the sense of ritual.
Let me see how we can make it even better.
Wait.
There's no need.
We eat half of our herbs,
and we take the remaining part to cook with our food.
I really like you, little brother!
You have a point. I'll go to get the pot.
Wait.
If we add some big sausages and Weeping Forsythia,
would it enhance the sense of ritual?
That's right.
That's even better.
I'll make them now.
Wait!
What now?
Lend me your pen and paper.
Pen and paper.
Here. What are these for?
We should sketch it out before we eat.
We don't know if we'll have such a chance again to eat this precious item.
We should draw it out as a memento.
Drawing before eating?
I heard that it's quite famous in Heaven Dou City.
Right.
Draw it.
What are you doing here?
Hurry and get the pot!
All right!
Master. Headmaster.
Tang San, you're back?
It's good that you're back. How are you?
Did Poison Douluo do anything to you?
No.
Master,
you brought me into the world of Spirit Masters.
I've never given you any gifts.
This is for you.
Ninth Grade Purple Mushroom?
Isn't your Spirit Power inherently weak, and you can't advance to Third Spirit Rings?
Ninth Grade Purple Mushroom is good for expanding limits.
Maybe this might help.
This suits you.
This premium herb... was extinct long ago.
Headmaster, I'm not sure which premium herb suits you and Teacher Liu.
How about you pick it yourself?
Are there all premium herbs?
We can sell the rest to earn some money.
Let's see if we can gather 2,000 gold spirit coins.
Poison Douluo gave these to you?
He thanked me for curing his poison.
Now we have a chance to take part in the tournament.
I'll talk to Liu Erlong now.
She knows a lot of people.
These are great things.
Here.
What's going on?
Poison Douluo won't have so many premium herbs.
Insofar as his character is concerned, it's impossible that he gave them all to you.
He brought me and Xiao Wu to the Dream Valley.
I heard the voice in my dream again there.
She asked me to use Blue Silver Grass.
It was strange that I was the only one who could hear the voice.
So I used my Blue Silver Grass.
Xiao Wu and I entered the interspace.
These herbs were collected there.
The interspace?
The interspace can only be created by a few Titled Douluo.
Without a special method, no one can enter or leave.
Your Blue Silver Grass was the key
to open up the entrance of the interspace.
In that case, the interspace is especially meant for you.
Yes.
My mom left it to me.
I was holding Xiao Wu's hand at that time,
so we got in together.
But my mom said that except me, no one else can enter.
Not even my dad.
Have you seen your mother?
No.
The day when I was born,
my mom was killed by Pontiff Qian Xunji
and his men from Spirit Hall.
Before she died,
she left a message to me.
So I knew the reason why she had been killed.
Master.
You said only a few Titled Douluo can create the interspace.
Was my mom
a Titled Douluo?
I'm not sure about that.
There are not many Titled Douluo.
Young female Titled Douluo are even rarer.
Maybe you can get some information from the library in Spirit Hall.
Those from Spirit Hall who tried to kill my mom,
I won't let any of them go.
But Qian Xunji was the former pontiff of Spirit Hall.
He's dead.
Dead?
How?
Severe injuries.
Does he still have other family members?
Bibi Dong, her wife, is the current pontiff.
They have a daughter, Qian Renxue.
But they have nothing to do with your mother's death.
Qian Xunji was the mastermind.
When he tried to kill my mom,
did he think about her child?
Her husband!
If one day, I meet those people from Spirit Hall,
I...
I'm not sure if I'll act rationally.
Kid, hatred shouldn't be spread.
You shouldn't hate everyone from Spirit Hall.
Your mother wouldn't hope that you live with hatred forever.
Telling you the truth doesn't mean I want you to take revenge.
It's just the opposite.
I hope you won't have hatred in your heart.
The trees are shining against the light
Like a stubborn young man
The far destination is where I'm heading
My bags are packed but I'm in a daze
There's no need to comfort me
Going separate ways and we'll all endure suffering
Don't hide, take it as another challenge for us
A stubborn choice and a burning heart
Take the bumpy road under the storm
Not afraid to break ordinary rules in life
Because
Because I want to become the unique one
Stumble my way into the next sunset
So I will hope for brighter fireworks
The dream of faith
Will always prevail
And become a beautiful galaxy
There's no need to comfort me
Going separate ways and we'll all endure suffering
Don't hide, take it as another challenge for us
A stubborn choice and a burning heart
Take the bumpy road under the storm
Not afraid to break ordinary rules in life
