Douluo Continent Episode 38 Recap
> Douluo Continent Recap
Tang San and Dai Mubai both suspected that the collective disappearance of the eliminated school teams was related to Ju Douluo. His purpose was to frame Bi Bi Dong, then legitimately take over control of Martial Soul Hall. Tang San knew they couldn't defeat Ju Douluo, so he decided to use the power of Martial Soul Hall to capture him and ask for the reason.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu went to find Qian Renxue and told her the whole story. Qian Renxue did not believe Ju Douluo would do such a thing and wanted to investigate it herself. Yan lost control every time he attacked; only Ju Douluo could restrain him. Xie Yue was greatly displeased with Yan, and the two started fighting after a disagreement. Qian Renxue arrived in time to stop them.
She asked Yan to help distract Ju Douluo but did not tell him the real reason. Qian Renxue brought Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai to Ju Douluo's residence. They saw that the room was filled with colorful chrysanthemums.
Dai Mubai saw the competition's division plan on the table; Cang Hui School was clearly altered to deliberately put the Royal School and Martial Soul Hall in the same group, with the intention of letting Cang Hui School enter the finals, so Ju Douluo could join forces with Cang Hui School to kill Bi Bi Dong. Xiao Wu casually touched a flower petal, and she and Tang San were instantly transported to a locked cell.
Tang San used his Blue Silver Plant to open the lock. Dai Mubai turned around and found that Xiao Wu and Tang San were gone. He quickly followed Qian Renxue to find Bi Bi Dong and told her everything about their suspicion of Ju Douluo. Bi Bi Dong did not believe Ju Douluo would betray her and forcibly sent Dai Mubai away. Qian Renxue was very annoyed, complaining that Bi Bi Dong never trusted her.
She had successfully controlled Xue Qinghe and imprisoned Prince Xue Xing. After the competition ended, she could take control of the entire Tian Dou City under the identity of Xue Qinghe. Bi Bi Dong thought she was delusional. Qian Renxue suppressed the anger in her heart and advised Bi Bi Dong to talk to Ju Douluo. Bi Bi Dong forbade her from interfering in this matter, telling her only to help the Martial Soul Hall team win the championship.
Qian Renxue did not want to be a pawn in her hands anymore, even having to hide their mother-daughter relationship. Bi Bi Dong insisted she was only Qian Renxue's teacher. Qian Renxue stormed off in a huff. Tang San opened the cell door and saw the bones of many Soul Beasts in other cells. Xiao Wu guarded the piles of white bones, heartbroken.
She had thought that Soul Beasts transforming into human form could coexist peacefully with humans, but the result was still a brutal massacre. Originally, when a Soul Master absorbed a Soul Ring, the Soul Beast's body would disappear, but now seeing so many white bones, Xiao Wu guessed that someone had killed the Soul Beasts but did not absorb their Soul Rings, instead sealing the power back into the Soul Beast's body.
Tang San suddenly realized the situation was bad; Ju Douluo was slaughtering Soul Beasts to frame Bi Bi Dong, which is why the Azure Ox Python in the Star Dou Forest was willing to cooperate with Ju Douluo to target Martial Soul Hall. Tang San worried that Ju Douluo would return and run into them, wanting to take Xiao Wu and leave as quickly as possible. Qian Renxue and Dai Mubai met Ju Douluo head-on and quickly hid.
They were worried that Tang San and Xiao Wu would be caught, so Dai Mubai planned to split up with Qian Renxue. Dai Mubai stopped Ju Douluo, pretending to discuss apprenticeship matters with him. Qian Renxue returned to Ju Douluo's residence to continue searching for Tang San and the others. Xiao Wu touched a chrysanthemum petal at the door and instantly returned to Ju Douluo's room, but Tang San had not returned.
She touched that chrysanthemum petal again and returned once more to the cell where the Soul Bones were hidden. The two realized that Xiao Wu could travel through the spatial interlayer via the chrysanthemum petals, so Xiao Wu pulled Tang San and touched the chrysanthemum petal again, returning once more. Qian Renxue learned about the cell where the Soul Bones were hidden and went to check it with them.
Dai Mubai deliberately led Ju Douluo to the Shi Lan Ke School's residence and persuaded Ju Douluo to leave Martial Soul Hall, promising to become his disciple if he did. Ju Douluo resolutely refused. To buy time for Tang San and the others, Dai Mubai made various excuses to delay. Ju Douluo sensed something was wrong and instantly disappeared. Ju Douluo returned to his residence, then went to that cell to search thoroughly.
Qian Renxue knew that Bi Bi Dong trusted Ju Douluo greatly and decided to deal with Ju Douluo herself. Tang San discussed with Qian Renxue, wanting to make a move on Ju Douluo on his way back to Martial Soul Hall.
Dai Mubai rushed to find Tang San to discuss, wanting to seek help from Du Gubo and Ning Fengzhi, keeping it a secret from Ou Si Ke, Ma Hongjun, and others, so that even if something happened in the future, the Shi Lan Ke School could be cleared of responsibility. Tang San went to find Du Gubo overnight. Du Gubo learned that Du Guyan had also disappeared with the team members and agreed to help him deal with Ju Douluo.
Yu Xiaogang convened a meeting with the students early in the morning, analyzing the strengths and tactics of the other teams one by one. The students were full of confidence. Tang San unintentionally saw Shi Nian pass by the entrance and quickly followed him. Shi Nian agreed to take Tang San to see Tang Hao, but only if Tang San let Shi Lan Ke School lose to Cang Hui School, allowing Cang Hui School to win the championship.
He was willing to give each student of Shi Lan Ke School a Soul Bone. But Tang San was unwilling to fight a losing match for Soul Bones, believing it was an insult to the competition and the hard-training students. Shi Nian asked him to meet the person he was supposed to meet first before making a decision.
