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 38
Could it be done by the Chrysanthemum Douluo?
He wants to kill Bibi Dong.
Why did he capture people from the academy that had been out?
Maybe he wanted to frame Bibi Dong?
That's possible.
Too bad it's only a speculation, we can't prove that.
If we capture him, then we'll know the truth.
You want to capture a Titled Douluo?
Do you think it's possible?
Of course we can't.
Not even with Dean and the others.
Who's the strongest in Martial Spirit City?
Bibi Dong?
You mean you want to use Spirit Hall to capture him?
That's the only way.
Have you thought clearly about it?
Blazing Academy, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan,
and your brother have all gone missing.
Whether Bibi Dong or Chrysanthemum Douluo is the bad guy, I don't care.
I just want to save people.
Blue Sunshine is working with the Chrysanthemum Douluo?
Do you think I will believe it?
Didn't Spirit Hall lose an officer?
So what?
He was the one who brought me into the hall.
Also,
he hid an arrow in the Spirit Bone that would serve as the prize.
Arrow?
For what?
I'm not sure.
Fine.
Even if Blue Sunshine is plotting something,
that doesn't prove the Chrysanthemum Douluo as traitor.
Let me ask you,
how many Titled Douluo are left in Martial Spirit City?
Due to the Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Forest,
they're all on the way there now.
That means,
in Martial Spirit City, there's only the Chrysanthemum Douluo left.
So?
All the academys that had been out disappeared.
Beside the Titled Douluo,
who else is capable to do that?
But why did he do that?
Just ask your pontiff to capture him. Then you'll know the reason.
Just with what you said,
do you really think the pontiff will capture her own Titled Douluo?
What if it's false?
What will happen?
What if it's true?
You can tell what we said to your pontiff, and let her decide.
I need to verify it first.
Are you going to ask him directly?
Stay here.
Where are you going?
I'll be back soon.
I feel like she believes you.
That's all you've got?
Seriously,
I don't think you deserve to be part of Spirit Hall's Battle Team.
From the beginning,
Spirit Hall's Battle Team only needs me alone.
People like you are just provisional.
You disappointed me! Again!
If he finds the chance, he'll surely kill you.
Can he?
Alright, calm down.
I'm training my member.
I need him.
Only the strongest Spirit Masters can stay in Spirit Hall.
I'm helping him.
I want to ask you a favor,
but I can't tell you the reason.
Just say it.
I think she might not believe us.
Don't you worry?
For what?
What if she leads her people here and captures us?
Why?
Perhaps she's also working for the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
I don't think so.
Why not?
Because I feel she really likes the Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
How do you know?
Every time when she mentioned Bibi Dong, it felt to be different.
You just believe her because of your instinct?
A liar can speak a thousand words, but they can't hide the feelings.
Tang San.
Do you believe Hu Liena?
I believe Xiao Wu.
If your instinct is so good,
why don't you use it to detect if the Chrysanthemum Douluo is a spy?
It takes time to tell.
Where have you been just now?
I told Yan to distract the Chrysanthemum Douluo,
so that we can check his room out.
Yan?
The person using flame on your team?
He's not in a good mental state,
so his flame might get out of control.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo helps him to solve it every time.
What if this fire guy is an accomplice of the Chrysanthemum Douluo?
It's meaningless to think of those things.
She's right.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo should be on his way now.
Let's hurry up.
What are you trying to get in his room?
Evidence of him betraying the Pontiff.
You think it's so easy to find?
We'll see.
Let's go.
This is where he lives?
The Chrysanthemum Douluo once said
that when one reached maximum power,
one would want simpler things.
This is considered good.
The Ghost Douluo doesn't even have a room.
He stays in the basement.
With no guard?
The Titled Douluo doesn't need guards.
Actually,
I've never entered the room.
There are still chrysanthemums in this season?
Even if the Chrysanthemum Douluo has secrets,
it's impossible that he just hides them in his room.
What's wrong?
This is the group division plan for the final.
Anything weird?
It has been altered.
These flowers are quite beautiful.
Yes, they are.
There's something wrong with it.
I can see that too.
Tang San, come over here.
Where is this?
Weren't we in the Chrysanthemum Douluo's room just now?
I remember I touched the petals, and then we are here.
We can't leave anymore.
Just now they were still here.
It's strange.
Are there any traps in Spirit Hall?
This is the room of a Titled Douluo. Who would dare to set a trap here?
Then...
Don't look at me this way.
This is obviously the Chrysanthemum Douluo's trick.
What does it have to do with me?
Let's ask him then.
Are you crazy?
Then what about Tang San and Xiao Wu?
I'll look for the pontiff.
Will she believe us?
Let me try.
I'll come with you.
Why it isn't working?
Didn't we touch it and get here just now?
Are the entrance and exit of the interspace separated?
Are these gates the exit?
It looks more like a prison.
It's locked?
What?
Tang San disappeared in the Chrysanthemum Douluo's room?
Not only that,
Tang San also suspected
the Chrysanthemum Douluo is working with Blue Sunshine Academy to assassinate you.
Hilarious.
We found the group division plan for the tournament
in the Chrysanthemum Douluo's room.
The plan shows
that Blue Sunshine's position has been changed.
Previously, Blue Sunshine was in Group B with Spirit Hall.
That means,
they should encounter Spirit Hall's Battle Team in the divisional battle.
But the Chrysanthemum Douluo changed
them to Group A,
and put Heaven Dou Imperial in Group B.
Then we would encounter Heaven Dou Imperial earlier.
So what?
That means,
the Chrysanthemum Douluo is misusing his authority to help Blue Sunshine.
His objective is to let Blue Sunshine enter the final.
Just by changing a battle team,
he'll be able to kill me?
No matter what,
Your Eminence, you should ask the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Enough.
The royal family of Star Luo
even wants to interfere with matters of Spirit Hall?
That's not it.
I just wish to find Tang San.
Do you know how vast is Douluo Continent?
As the greatest Sect in Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall...
needs to handle countless matters every day.
I don't have time to listen to your childish speculations!
Go.
I have something to tell the pontiff.
Please leave.
What do you want to tell me?
I've stayed in Shrek Academy for some time.
I know Tang San very well.
He's not someone who talks nonsense.
He said only the Titled Douluo could make
the academy that had been out disappear.
You believe everything he said?
I only feel
that you should talk to the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Focus on the tournament.
You shouldn't be involved
in these matters.
You've never believed in my capability.
Do you think you're very strong?
Back then,
I suggested using your spider pendant
to go to Star Luo and replace Dai Mubai.
My plan was so thorough,
but what have you done?
You've just ignored it.
So, you made your own decision to leave Spirit Hall
and go to Heaven Dou Empire.
In order to ensure your safety,
I had to send Su Yuntao to go with you.
Ensure my safety?
Or it was just to spy on me?
After Su Yuntao died, didn't you also send out Yan?
No matter what happened in the process,
the result proved
that I was successful.
It was a big success.
I controlled Xue Qinghe.
Even the whole Heaven Dou is under our control now.
I have done these things just to tell you
I can help Spirit Hall, and I can help you!
Do you really think
you were able to fake Xue Qinghe?
I've done it.
I've already imprisoned Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing.
The whole Heaven Dou City has changed because of me.
And then?
After the tournament?
You will go back to Heaven Dou as Xue Qinghe?
Why not?
Do you really think you can deceive everyone?
Your mission now is
to help Spirit Hall's Battle Team
to be the champion in the final.
As for the rest,
you shouldn't bother with them.
In your eyes, I'm always just a pawn.
A puppet that can't have its own thoughts.
Tell me.
Tell me, what should I do to gain trust from you?
Mother!
I've said
that you have to hide your identity!
Call me master.
Why?
Why can't I say I'm your daughter, Qian Renxue?
Why do I have to pretend to be Hu Liena and be your disciple?
It's Spirit Hall and you're the Supreme Pontiff.
What danger can I get into?
You may leave!
I still think you should talk to the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
I'll leave now.
How was it?
She didn't believe me.
What?
But she's your master.
Then what about Tang San?
I'll prove my capability.
How?
Go back to the Chrysanthemum Douluo's place first.
And then?
And we will capture the Chrysanthemum Douluo ourselves.
Why do these bodies look like humans?
They are Spirit Beasts.
I don't understand.
Wouldn't all Spirit Beasts vanish in light dots
after their Spirit Rings were absorbed?
Why these bodies can still remain?
Do you know?
A 100,000 years Spirit Beast will turn into a human shape.
You mean all these?
These were close to that.
So,
they started to change.
Spirit Beasts that had lived so long
were killed and abandoned here.
Were they used in experiments?
It means that the one who killed them
didn't absorb their Spirit Rings,
but tried to seal the power back into their bodies again.
That's too cruel.
I thought
when Spirit Beasts turned into humans,
they could live peacefully with the humans.
But the result is like this.
I've been considering a question.
Why was Star Dou Forest's Sky Azure Bull Python
willing to cooperate with humans against Spirit Hall?
Maybe this is the answer.
Maybe.
If Da Ming...
I mean, if Sky Azure Bull Python
knows that Spirit Hall has been slaughtering Spirit Beasts,
it'll be very angry.
So the Chrysanthemum Douluo maltreated Spirit Beasts
and framed the Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
That made Sky Azure Bull Python angry.
Xiao Wu,
we'd better leave now.
I'm afraid the Chrysanthemum Douluo may come back and see us.
Third Brother.
You think,
if 100,000 years Spirit Beast turns into a human shape,
is it really a human?
My dad has told me
that when the day comes, they are no different from humans anymore.
Actually, I think
Spirit Beasts that have become humans had a tougher life than we think.
Because before transforming,
they had to avoid being killed by Spirit Masters.
After transforming into humans,
they had no choice but to leave their native environment
and train all over again in the society of Spirit Masters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo.
What's wrong?
He's back.
What do we do now?
He might find Tang San.
This is bad.
We need to stop him.
Let me try.
Can you do it?
I don't talk to him often,
and I don't have a good reason to stop him.
How about this?
I'll distract him,
and you go in to look for Tang San and Xiao Wu.
What will you do?
Just let me try.
Why are you here in Spirit Hall?
I'm purposely here to look for you.
Look for me?
Actually, I've been thinking about what you told me.
Didn't you want to take me as your desciple?
You changed your mind?
Can we talk at another place?
This is where I live.
Follow me.
We'd better not talk in Spirit Hall.
I still think that the exit is related to this flower.
This interspace doesn't look like a trap,
but more like the Chrysanthemum Douluo's secret chamber.
I don't understand.
Why did we get in so easily?
How should we leave now?
What did we do in his room just now?
We didn't do anything.
I just touched the petals.
Why there's no response now?
Xiao Wu?
Where have you been?
Where's Tang San?
I came back?
Why didn't Tang San come out?
From where?
Wait.
This flower should be the entrance and exit of the interspace.
Flower.
What's going on?
You were right.
The flower is the entrance and exit of the interspace.
I tried, but it didn't work.
But didn't we enter just now?
Just now?
These flowers are quite beautiful.
Yes, they are.
You brought me in.
Tang San?
What's going on?
Interspace.
Xiao Wu can enter it.
What's inside?
Bodies of Spirit Beasts.
It's impossible that a Spirit Beast can leave a dead body behind.
Bring me in.
We've walked for quite some time.
What do you want to say?
I don't want to be your desciple.
One, because of Shrek Battle Team.
Two, because of Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall?
Yes.
Spirit Hall is trying to manipulate the others
with their strong influence. It's annoying.
So?
So,
have you thought about leaving Spirit Hall?
Where should I go?
You're a Titled Douluo.
You are welcome everywhere.
Is this a message from the royal family of Star Luo?
No.
It's my personal view.
Everyone knows
the Pontiff of Spirit Hall is the strongest in the world.
Even though you're a Titled Douluo,
you'll never be like the pontiff.
Why not try to change?
Even though we're in Shrek's house now,
don't forget we're still in Martial Spirit City.
You're quite bold to say something like this.
You haven't had this kind of idea before?
Don't say these things to anyone else.
I know.
Focus on the tournament.
I hope you can enter the final.
I'll go now.
How about I walk you back?
No need.
It's been a long talk.
Do you want some new tea from the royal family of Star Luo?
To soothe your throat.
Teleport?
Now we can basically confirm there's something wrong with the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Can you tell your pontiff about it now?
No.
I need to think of a way to capture him.
Why?
The pontiff trusts the Chrysanthemum Douluo a lot.
I'm going to use my way to prove that I am right.
I have some friends in Spirit Hall too.
Maybe we can try to ambush and capture the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
So,
they are also Titled Douluo?
The Titled Douluo all went to the Star Dou Forest.
It seems he caused the Spirit Beasts to come out.
But Master also said
only a Titled Douluo can contend with another Titled Douluo.
But there's none.
Then tell me
about the Chrysanthemum Douluo's schedule tomorrow.
What are you trying to do?
Tell me first.
The tournament covers these two days.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo is the referee.
It is even Blue Sunshine's turn tomorrow.
After the tournament ends?
He'll go back to Spirit Hall.
Anyone guarding him?
He's a Titled Douluo.
He doesn't need protection.
Tell me which way he will take to get back to Spirit Hall.
You wish to block him on the way?
Yes.
You just said
only a Titled Douluo can contend with him.
Are you still hiding something from me?
You don't need to know.
Just tell me which way he will take tomorrow to go back.
Don't you want to stop him from assassinating your pontiff?
You won't succeed.
Let me try.
I'll tell you the route.
Brother Dai.
Where have you been?
I'll tell you on the way.
Where are we going?
To see Senior Dugu.
We'll capture the Chrysanthemum Douluo tomorrow.
A battle between Titled Douluo?
Where should we look for them?
I've talked to them.
We will leave a sign in the city tomorrow night.
Senior Dugu will come and look for us.
Brother Dai.
Please don't tell Oscar, Dean, and the others.
Got it.
Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the academy.
I'll go first.
Little Poison Freak.
What do you want from me?
Senior.
Here, have a seat.
Senior.
Have you heard of the Chrysanthemum Douluo?
Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall.
What's wrong?
If Master Ning, you,
and the Sword Douluo join hands,
can you guys capture him alive?
You are planning something big?
Listen to me first.
This person is likely to be the spy working for Blue Sunshine in Spirit Hall.
If we capture him,
we'll know where Clear Sky Douluo is.
If the three of us join hands and take him by surprise,
I think we should be able to capture him.
Then let's go through the details.
Hold on.
Tell me first.
How do you know he is the spy?
I was brought into Spirit Hall,
and I saw the prize for the tournament.
And the arrow merged into the Spirit Bone.
Good.
Also,
the person who brought me into the hall
committed suicide.
Of course he should die,
or it'll cause trouble.
You are different.
When it's done,
I'll ensure your safety.
Thank you, Teacher.
After winning tomorrow's battle,
we have one opponent left in Group A.
Shrek Academy?
Defeat Shrek Academy, and you will enter the final.
I've watched Spirit Hall's Battle Team's matches.
Even if we enter the final,
I'm afraid we can't win.
You don't have to worry about that.
There shouldn't be any problem with tomorrow's battle.
The only trouble is Shrek Academy.
I've helped Shrek so much.
It's time to end it.
What should I do?
Just focus on the tournament.
I'll handle the rest.
Alright.
After hearing what you've said,
you might be right.
We need to capture the Chrysanthemum Douluo
in order to get the answer.
So, what's your relationship with Spirit Hall?
None.
Then why do you want to stop him
from assassinating the pontiff?
One, for what Blue Sunshine did.
I've borrowed some special medicine
that might cause the mutation of Martial Spirit.
It seems like he was poisoned.
Hold it.
Shi Nian made them like this.
Shi Nian's Martial Spirit is Broken Dream.
It can cause hallucinations that are inescapable.
They created Mutant Spirits and poisoned you and Dugu Yan.
They even used spirit control on their own students.
I don't care if he's going to kill the Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
I just think
if an evil person like him gains power one day,
it might be a scarier catastrophe for Douluo Continent.
What else?
There's another reason.
Promise me that you'll stay calm when you hear it.
Why should I be worried?
All the students who have been out are missing.
I suspect that the Chrysanthemum Douluo did it.
Yan Yan is missing?
Senior, calm down.
Listen to me.
We must capture the Chrysanthemum Douluo
in order to find them.
I'll capture him tomorrow!
Actually,
there's another personal reason.
Probably,
only he knows where Clear Sky Douluo is.
Don't worry.
We will capture him.
I've checked the Chrysanthemum Douluo's schedule.
After Blue Sunshine's match tomorrow, he'll leave the arena.
His route back to Spirit Hall is here.
You may take a look and choose a place to ambush him.
How do you get this?
Hu Liena from Spirit Hall gave it to me.
Spirit Hall can be hard to deal with.
You'd better not have any relationship with them.
Understood.
We were just cooperating this time.
With me, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword Douluo,
we'll succeed.
There won't be a mistake.
Master.
Tang San!
Help me tie it.
Let me have a look.
Can you be gentler?
It's tight now.
You shouldn't be so weak.
When is Rongrong coming?
I'll call her.
Your opponent in the semi-final is likely to be Blue Sunshine.
Look carefully at their Martial Spirit Types.
Then we'll discuss together what tactic to be used.
Are you both exchanging love glances?
What are you talking about?
Oh right.
Where did you go yesterday?
Master and Teacher Liu made so many great dishes,
but you weren't there.
We were discussing Spirit Hall's Battle Team.
Really?
Even though there are only a few of them,
they are indeed very strong.
Then what tactic should we use against the three people from Spirit Hall?
I suspect Xie Yue
has more than Four Spirit Rings.
No way.
Not many Spirit Masters at this age have Four Spirit Rings.
If he has Five Spirit Rings, how can we fight him?
Life is not a competition.
It won't pick a suitable opponent for you every time.
Back then, when Flender, Erlong, and I were wandering Douluo Continent,
we met strong opponents many times.
Fate puts the enemy you can't defeat in front of you.
There is no time to grieve.
You can only face it.
Don't think about the match much later.
Look carefully at Blue Sunshine,
and win each time.
Alright!
We can do it.
Tang San.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I've promised you that after you enter the final,
I'll bring you to meet Clear Sky Douluo.
Now,
I'm here to fulfill my promise.
You are bringing me to him?
He's waiting for you.
If nothing goes wrong,
the semi-final will be Blue Sunshine versus Shrek.
I'm here to tell you in advance
that Blue Sunshine Academy must win.
So,
please cooperate.
You want us to surrender?
Surrender seems bad.
I only want the result.
As for the process,
you can do whatever you want.
Fake fight?
The prize for the champion is only two Spirit Bones.
If you cooperate,
I can give one to each of your teammates.
All the hard training we had at academy
is not for fake fights.
Like I said,
I only want the result.
You're humiliating the tournament
and also the participants who have trained hard.
Don't reject me so soon.
The person you wish to see
is waiting for you inside.
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
