Legend of Awakening (The Road of Awakening / Tian Xing Zhi Lu / 天醒之路)

Su Tang.

Are you alright?

Elder Brother... I'm a bit hungry.

Think of this as a candy.

You'll feel better.

Brother...

Where are we going?

We'll go

wherever we can survive.

There were ongoing disputes between countries and the world was in chaos.

Zhai Wei of Dan Kingdom raised a mutiny

and named his kingdom Shuo.

Going face to face against Dan Kingdom that retreated to the north.

In the midst of the chaos, the trend of practicing martial arts and pneumatic forces rose.

Warriors practiced external martial arts

and cultivated internally Vision, Sound, Energy,

Pivot, Strength, and Essence,

the Six Pneumas.

The Pneuma of Vision gives the practitioner good sight.

Those who master it has insight into trajectories.

It's like reeling silk from cocoons with no silk thread left unreeled.

The Pneuma of Sound makes the practitioner great in distinguishing voices.

Those who master it can hear their surroundings clearly.

Even from a thousand miles away, they can distinguish where the sound came from.

The Pneuma of Energy maximizes the use of energy.

Those who master it can move around as light as the air.

They can move faster than an arrow.

The Pneuma of Pivot gives the practitioner heightened senses.

Those who master it have a sense of smell and taste a thousand times stronger.

They can distinguish all sorts of poisons and herbs.

The Pneuma of Strength increases brute force.

Those who master it are strong enough to lift up a mountain, shift lands, and rivers.

They will be unstoppable.

The Pneuma of Essence lies in the mind.

Those who master it can control minds,

it's the most mysterious Pneuma among the six pneumas.

Those whose minds are controlled lose their senses.

Even by training for a lifetime,

it's hard for martial arts practitioners to master all six pneumas.

Legend has it, there are those who are born with the knowledge of using all six pneumas,

but they are hard to come by.

They are called the Awakeners.

General, this is the Ruinous Star position of the Big Dipper Array.

The Pneuma of Strength is completely linked while the Pneuma of Sound would get a bit weak.

General, listen to the sound of the swords and break the Pneuma of Strength.

General, the Epsilon Ursae Majoris position.

The Pneuma of Energy is completely linked and you can use the Pneuma of Vision to break his attack.

General, Alkaid position!

His using the Pneuma of Vision but it isn't as powerful as yours.

Their weakness is exposed.

General, go ahead and break the array!

Please!

Pavilion Master,

Big Dipper Pavilion's array is world renown.

Your powers are profound and unpredictable.

I'm humbled.

General Qin, the Sun Streamer Swordplay is quite ingenious.

Heroes are truly born from the young!

This gentleman uses his Pneuma of Pivot to distinguish the difference

in the usage of every pneuma.

Wen Gecheng, the man of Inseparable Manifestation and Obscurity, you do live up to your name.

That's just a compliment from my friends.

Sir, you're too kind!

I've long heard that all martial arts practitioners are from Big Dipper Pavilion.

However, the world is now in wars and chaos.

His Majesty has especially sent me here to ask you to leave retirement

and join the government in training soldiers for Shuo.

His Majesty will honor you as a patriot.

I have let you down, General Qin.

It doesn't matter! Big Dipper Pavilion is the leading martial arts academy.

It's only right that he acts dignified.

General, you wanted to recruit pugilists to serve the country.

There are many academies in Shuo.

There will be other martial arts prodigies.

Rather than prodigies,

I've attracted quite a few oddities.

It has only been a few days, Miss Qin's Pneuma of Vision has improved greatly.

Elder Brother, you actually shot an arrow at me.

I managed to duck in time, but what if you hurt Ziyan?

You...

Do you remember what I said?

If you allow your mistress to wander off, then by military law,

you should be beheaded.

I'm sorry! Please forgive me, General Qin.

Get up! Why do you take the blame for everything?

Brother, I'm just here to admire the demeanor of the leading martial arts academy.

I can then assist you in the future.

Am I right, Uncle Wen?

Miss Qin has great aspirations, you're indeed the daughter of a military aristocrat.

- Sir Wen, you're flattering— - General.

There's a message from Chan State saying that they were attacked by an unknown force.

They hope you can go there and discuss the issue with them.

Who dares to be so bold?

It's the Mountain and Sea Gang.

We'll go past Chenqiao Town on our way back to the capital.

Tell them to meet me in Chenqiao Town.

I'm coming with you.

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers...

...surpasses that of Big Dippers!

It's too heavy!

I'm done! I can't move anymore.

- What's going on? - Exactly!

- No more, no more! - Elder Brother, let me carry it for you.

Do not help him! We have to jog ten li every day.

Get up!

You're the eldest disciple.

Even our master said that I'm naturally incompetent.

Your Pneuma of Strength is surely better than mine. It's unfair!

Lu Ping, Su Tang is a girl and even she can carry it.

- As an eight-feet-tall man, aren't you embarrassed? - Exactly!

Lu Ping, if you behave like this, how will Wind Taker Institute surpass Big Dipper Chamber?

Eldest Senior Brother, what is Big Dipper Chamber?

Even the huge Chan State Martial Arts Academy dare not say they want to surpass Big Dippers.

Our Wind Taker Institute doesn't even have decent clothes.

If we keep saying things like this, we'll be the laughing stock of Chenqiao Town.

- Yes. - Yes, that's right.

Not to mention we have someone holding us back.

My brother had been injured, so he's frail.

- If you have anything against him, pick a fight with me. - No! Don't!

Eldest Senior Brother, my back is also sprained, just let me off today.

Knock it off! You can't fool me with such tricks.

No one in Wind Taker Institute is allowed to fall behind.

- Even the worst disciple. - That's right!

Pick it up! Run.

Brother, I'll help you.

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

- The valiance of Wind Takers - This is really heavy.

surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers surpasses that of Big Dippers!

The valiance of Wind Takers...

- It's Wen Gecheng. - Are you sure?

I've already asked around. It must be him.

Keep Zhao Xifan occupied, I'll be right back.

Be careful.

It seems we can't carry out our task.

We'll jog towards the eastern side of the city.

- Where is Lu Ping? - Eldest Senior.

Where is Lu Ping?

- H-He went to the latrine. - Step aside!

Eldest Senior!

Why is Lu Ping always like this?

Exactly!

General Qin, it must have been hard on you traveling such a long distance.

Master Wei and I have prepared a great feast

to welcome all of you.

Someone has died and you still have the heart to eat?

This way, please!

Who are you?

- Who are you? - I would like to meet Sir Wen.

I have important information.

Leave right away.

Leave now!

This is a Mountain and Sea Badge.

What is it for?

I don't know.

After receiving this badge, several sects in the martial arts world

were either annihilated or disappeared.

Recently, the Phoenix Ridge Gang near Chan State

sent a letter to me for help.

They said they also received this badge.

General Qin, I think this is highly unusual

and thus invited you over to discuss it.

This matter is indeed unusual.

General, I think this is a normal dispute in the martial arts world.

The Pneuma Combat Convention is right around the corner.

It's unwise to be delayed by this.

Uncle Wen, since lives were taken, how can the government do nothing to help?

Sang'er.

Don't interrupt Sir Wen.

Miss Qin, there are rules in the martial arts world.

If the general interferes, he will disrupt the order of the martial arts world.
