=The Dragon Prince=

(Adapted from the novel

The Dragon Prince by Tian Can Tu Dou)

(Previously)

Zhou Yuan versus Shi Yu.

Do we continue fighting?

I I give up.

Next match,

Zhou Yuan versus Lin Feng.

A battle of attrition. Isn't it unfair?

Let me show you our disparity.

Mid-grade primal technique,

Iron Demon Barrier.

Dragon Stele Hand.

Shatter Mountains.

Break.

I give up.

=Episode 5=

(Reappearance of the Eight Meridians)

(Lord Qi's Mansion)

So that worthless prince

can now cultivate?

Yes.

And with two meridians activated,

he defeated Lin Feng.

That's the one

who once possessed the Dragon Destiny.

(Qi Yuan)

He could still rise again

(Qi Yuan)

under such circumstances.

Hard to k*ll.

Father, should we pass the message

to the Wu Empire?

The Wu Empire is currently contesting

with the two neighboring empires.

Who would care about the dying Zhou?

Moreover, that worthless prince

had his Dragon Destiny taken away.

And he is plagued

by the Grudge Dragon Poison.

Recovery won't be so easy.

But after Zhou Yuan

won first place in the Major Exam,

one of the top ten candidates

who agreed to join House B

joined House A.

It doesn't matter.

I have been scheming for many years.

Even Zhou Qing

wouldn't do anything to me.

Can the guy who has only activated

two meridians

change the overall situation?

(Secret book)

The most important thing right now

is the year-end Mansion Exam.

House B must win first place.

Only then can we take control

of the Zhou Mansion

and further weaken Zhou Qing's power.

Only then will the Wu Empire

truly value us.

Trust me, Father.

I'm unrivaled in the Zhou Mansion.

I will certainly win first place.

As for Zhou Yuan,

I will cr*pple him

to see if he can rise again.

(House A, Zhou Mansion)

Here they come.

Here they come.

Yes, Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

Please don't do this.

There's no prince here.

Just call me Zhou Yuan from now on.

Welcome to House A.

I am the leader, Yang Zai.

Your performance

in the Major Exam yesterday

has spread throughout the mansion.

With you joining,

we have grown a lot stronger.

My name is Song Qiushui.

Yesterday, when we heard that you

and Prince Zhou Yuan chose House A,

we were incredibly happy.

We came early today to wait for you.

Of course, these guys

were more eager to see

the mansion's top beauty.

What top beauty?

- Qiushui, don't make fun of me.

- Youwei is shy.

All of you, don't look.

Right.

Song Qiushui,

I hear you chattering

first thing in the morning.

- Master.

- Master.

Yang Zai, how can you

let them mess around?

Yes.

Only three of you ranked

in the top ten in the Major Exam.

Starting today,

you must double your training.

No way?

Double again?

Didn't we just double it last time?

Yeah, it's going to be exhausting.

Now, only Yang Zai and Song Qiushui

have activated five meridians.

The others only activated

less than four meridians.

If none of you activate six meridians

at the year-end Mansion Exam,

no one will be qualified

to compete with Qi Yue

from House B for the top place.

Then we will surely be demoted

to House B.

That will directly affect

the entire situation in Zhou.

To prevent this from happening,

you must work harder

and put in more effort

than those from House B.

Alright, today is the day

the Jade Waterfall opens.

Let's go there for cultivation.

- Yes.

- Yes.

More training again.

Let's go.

(Jade Waterfall)

This Jade Waterfall is a good place

of the mansion for cultivation.

At its top grows a patch

of Purple Jade Marrow.

The energy from the jade marrow

will enter the body

with the waterfall's flow,

helping to activate the major meridians.

This kind of energy is extremely gentle

and will not harm the meridians.

Even if one reaches the meridian limit,

the meridians can

continue to be activated.

Today, I got two Primal Pattern masters

from the mansion for you.

Don't waste this great opportunity.

Start preparing.

- Yes.

- Yes.

- Hurry.

- Let's go.

Qiushui, what is this for?

For drawing

the Gathering Primal Pattern.

After entering

the Jade Waterfall with it,

one can absorb the energy

of the jade marrow faster.

Youwei, come with me.

Youwei.

Your Highness, we still need to queue

for drawing Gathering Primal Pattern.

Let's go back.

Judging by the length of the line,

it'll probably take a long time

until it's our turn.

Why don't we try

this Jade Waterfall first?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

(This is the energy of the jade marrow.)

(The effect is really strong.)

(It's just too diluted.)

(No wonder drawing

Gathering Primal Pattern is needed.)

(But my Spirit is at the early stage

of the Void Stage.)

(I should be able to sense the energy

of the jade marrow more clearly.)

Youwei!

Qiushui, why did you come out?

The line is so long.

Who knows when it will be my turn?

His Highness got into the water?

His Highness was curious

about the Jade Waterfall,

so he went into it to experience it.

Then, he just sat there and didn't move.

The impact force

of the Jade Waterfall is very strong.

The first time I went into the water,

I couldn't bear it

for even a dozen of minutes.

Without the Gathering Primal Pattern,

he can bear it for even less time.

How is that possible?

It's already been 15 minutes.

Is His Highness still okay?

I've never seen anyone in the water

for this long on the first try.

I'm going to get the master over.

Your Highness.

(This method is not bad.)

(It's just quite draining.)

(With the Gathering Primal Pattern,)

(the effect would be even better.)

Your Highness, are you okay?

I'm alright.

Truly impressive.

Staying in the Jade Waterfall

for 15 minutes on your first try.

Youwei, come with me to see the master.

Go and return early.

The time for cultivating

at the Jade Waterfall is limited.

Your Highness, where are you taking me?

To meet my senior.

Senior?

I'll introduce you two later.

Wait here for a moment.

Why is His Highness being so secretive?

(That is His Highness's senior?)

(So beautiful.)

Yaoyao.

Embedding Primal Patterns

into a landscape painting.

So amazing.

Your Highness and his senior.

So close.

They must have known

each other for a long time.

You're not strong enough

to observe this grade

of Primal Patterns.

I'm actually feeling a bit dizzy.

Oh, right, Yaoyao,

do you know

the Gathering Primal Pattern?

A very common

first-grade Primal Pattern.

Of course I know.

Yaoyao, could you help me draw it?

It took me lots of effort

to acquire this flower wine.

Take off your shirt.

What?

This Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern

is considered top-notch

among the first-grade ones.

But you'll have to suffer a bit

during the drawing.

(Such a strange Primal Pattern.)

(It can produce both burning heat

and icy coldness simultaneously.)

You can talk

to distract yourself,

so it won't be that uncomfortable.

Yaoyao, what's the highest grade

of Primal Pattern you can draw?

Currently, only third-grade.

If I'm well-prepared,

I can try a fourth-grade one as well.

Third-grade Primal Pattern!

It could rival a master

of the Heaven Realm.

If it's fourth-grade Primal Pattern,

even my father

would have to be cautious.

Master even asked me to protect you.

Maybe it's you who protect me.

Grandpa Hei wasn't counting

on the current you to protect me.

He was looking forward to your future.

That's it.

Such a strong suction force.

The gathering effect

of the Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern

far surpasses that of the Spirit.

Oh, right, Yaoyao,

I have a friend.

Could you also draw one for her?

No way.

Yaoyao, she is a girl.

You must be bored being

in the palace every day.

Just consider it as making a new friend.

Alright then.

I'll only help this one.

Youwei, come.

I'm coming.

Youwei, hurry up.

I I won't be a disturbance

to you, will I?

Of course not. This is my senior.

Hello.

Such a beautiful young lady.

She just helped me draw

the Ice-Fire Gathering Primal Pattern.

I've asked her to draw one for you too.

Drawing a Primal Pattern?

Right, what's wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Let's go to my place.

Why are you coming in?

Right, it's none of my business.

Your name is Su Youwei, right?

What should I call you?

I am Yaoyao.

Then I'll call you Yaoyao from now on.

Then take off your shirt.

What a charming girl.

Don't be afraid.

It will only hurt a little.

Seems it's almost done.

Don't move.

What's wrong, Yaoyao?

Yaoyao.

Strange. The gathering effect

of this pattern on you

is even better than on Zhou Yuan.

(Inside her, there seems

to be a sense of yin and yang.)

(Could she have

the legendary Yin-Yang constitution?)

Is it all right now?

Let's go to the Jade Waterfall

to test its effect.

Yaoyao, you're not busy anyway.

Why not come with us

to the Jade Waterfall to relax?

Okay.

When you can't hold on any longer,

just think that the Jade Waterfall

opens only once every two days.

Each time, we can

only use it for six hours.

The waiting time and rest time

need to be deducted.

So how much time can you

really use for cultivation?

Maybe if you hold on

for one more minute,

you could get one more chance

to activate your meridians.

Not bad.

This group can hold on for 15 minutes.

The next group

has had enough rest, right?

- Ready to get into it.

- Yes.

Just 15 minutes

and you think it's not bad?

That would be too much

of a waste of the Jade Waterfall.

Head Xu,

it's not yet time

for House B to practice.

And you guys from Houses C and D.

Why have you come so early?

We have come together

because everyone feels

that the current time allocation

is very unfair.

What do you mean?

The Jade Waterfall can only be used

for 16 hours every two days.

Previously, you were the top,

so we could accept that you used it

during the best six hours of the day.

But now, you are far worse than before

and can no longer occupy

such a long time.

The usage time

for the Jade Waterfall was set long ago.

It can't be changed

just because you want to.

This is the most important place

for cultivation in the Zhou Mansion.

Naturally,

its efficacy must be maximized.

Since House A

is no longer considered the top one,

some of your time

should be allocated to us.

Why should you occupy so much time?

Some of it should be allocated to us.

You

The time allocation

of the Jade Waterfall

was set by the king.

If you have objections, go to the king.

Matters of the Zhou Mansion

have always been solved by the mansion.

Don't use the king as an excuse.

Xu Hong.

The power

is so strong.

A master of the Heaven Realm

is so powerful.

The master's third-grade

Chiyang energy has grown stronger.

Want to fight? I am not afraid of you.

Third-grade primal energy,

Yinshuang energy.
