Douluo Continent Episode 23 Recap
> Douluo Continent Recap
Tang San held the Sand Strider cub, with Xiao Wu protecting him by his side. They went to the area where the sandstorm was densest and finally saw the mother beast. The mother beast was agitated. Tang San put the cub down, and it quickly ran to its mother. Tang San repeatedly explained that he had not harmed the cub. After the mother beast left with the cub, the sandstorm instantly disappeared.
Ou Si Ke and Ma Hongjun came upon hearing the news and met up with Tang San and Xiao Wu. The four of them rushed back to the inn together. Meng Li praised Tang San for doing a good job and told him to kill Ma Xiuno, saying that this would mean Tang San passed the test. Tang San did not want to kill innocent people, but Meng Li was relentless.
Wang Sheng also tried hard to persuade Tang San on the side. Tang San would rather give up the challenge. Meng Li killed Ma Xiuno on the spot and then mocked Tang San with malicious words. Tang San was furious, grinding his teeth. He guessed that the Soul Masters who were exposed to the sun in the desert outside Xisi City were also killed by the Fiend Squad. Meng Li admitted this without hesitation.
Tang San vowed to defeat the Fiend Squad to save this city. Meng Li agreed to meet him in the Douluo arena. Lan De and Yu Xiaogang arrived at the inn with the students and learned that Meng Li, the captain of the Fiend Squad, had killed Ma Xiuno. Tang San took Xiao Wu out for a walk on the street to relax. He worried that the mastermind behind the Fiend Squad was his father.
Xiao Wu firmly believed that Tang Hao was not a bad person. Tang San felt that he didn't understand his father at all and vowed to find Canghui school in Heaven Dou City and persuade his father not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The residents of Xisi City came one after another to cheer for Tang San, firmly believing that he would definitely win. Tang San was very moved.
Yu Xiaogang told Dai Mubai and the others about Tang San going on stage to challenge the Fiend Squad, explicitly stating that Tang San was going to his death. Dai Mubai, wanting to protect his teammates, said that it was Tang San's own business and had nothing to do with them, which earned scorn from the others. But privately, Dai Mubai quietly called Ma Hongjun aside and discussed helping Tang San with him.
Zhu Zhuqing followed afterwards and also wanted to participate in the fight. Tang San took Xiao Wu to the blacksmith shop to forge iron nails. The shop owner not only prepared enough refined iron for him but also let him make iron nails for free, only asking him to defeat the Fiend Squad. Tang San made a total of six sets of iron nail crossbows.
If he failed the challenge, he asked Xiao Wu to take these crossbows and iron nails to Heaven Dou City and give them to Dai Mubai and the others, hoping these weapons could increase their chances of winning in the competitions in Heaven Dou City. That night, Dai Mubai and the other team members came to find Tang San.
They did not allow Tang San and Xiao Wu to act alone and insisted that the Shi Lan Ke Seven Devils challenge the Fiend Squad together. Ningrongrong also promised to help inquire about Ye Zhiqiu's background. The seven of them were eager to fight and swore together. Tang San was deeply moved. Lan De and Yu Xiaogang overheard this while hiding outside the door and were deeply relieved.
Yu Xiaogang seized the opportunity to suggest that Lan De treat them to a meal. Tang San distributed the crossbows and iron nails to everyone, and Dai Mubai gladly accepted them. Early the next morning, Lan De and Yu Xiaogang waited early in the courtyard, cheering on the students. Hu Liena called Tang San aside individually and advised him not to fight a losing battle, otherwise, he would lose his life.
Tang San did not want the people in the city to be ravaged by the Fiend Squad anymore; he was already prepared. Tang San and the group of seven arrived at the Douluo arena with high spirits. Meng Li boasted that the entire Xisi City belonged to them and advised Tang San to surrender early. Tang San ignored him. Ningrongrong threw out several iron beads. Ma Hongjun unleashed his Phoenix Fire Line, igniting those iron beads.
The members of the Fiend Squad were immediately engulfed in thick smoke. Tang San seized the opportunity to summon his Blue Silver Plant. Xiao Wu cooperated with him, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ou Si Ke attacked together. The Fiend Squad arrayed themselves and fought back. Dai Mubai leaped down to attack Meng Li, and Zhu Zhuqing followed closely to reinforce him.
