Do you surrender?

Do you surrender?

(Young Guo Jing) No! I won't!

I won't surrender! Never!

Pull him up! Kowtow to me!

(Young Tolui) Guo Jing, run! Don't mind me!

Stay away, all of you!

Guo Jing,

(Young Dushi) I'm dealing with Tolui. Why do you care?

If you dare hurt him,

I'll kill you!

(Ke Zhen'e, nicknamed Flying Bat, from Seven Freaks of Jiangnan)

This dagger

is yours?

Your surname is Yang?

No, it's Guo.

Kid, what's your mother's name?

My mother's Li Ping.

And your father?

My father's Guo Xiaotian.

Kid, we've been searching for you for six years.

(Quan Jinfa, nicknamed Hidden Hero) We want to find you,

(Nan Xiren, nicknamed Southern Hill Woodcutter)

(Han Xiaoying, nicknamed Yue Maiden Sword) teach you martial arts

(Zhang Asheng, nicknamed Laughing Buddha) and help you seek revenge.

(Zhu Cong, nicknamed Marvellous-Handed Scholar) What do you think?

(Han Baoju, nicknamed Horse Deity, from Seven Freaks of Jiangnan)

I agree. I want to become powerful

to avenge my father.

Seven masters,

please accept my kowtou.

(From that day on,)

(I became a disciple of Seven Heroes of Jiangnan.)

(That year,)

(the martial world was rife with killings.)

(The evil Twin Killers in the Dark Wind)

(Mei Chaofeng) (also came to the desert.)

(Chen Xuanfeng) (They held me hostage)

(for killing my masters.)

(Maybe I was young and fearless,)

(in that big battle,)

(I accidentally stabbed)

(Copper Corpse Chen Xuanfeng's vulnerable area.)

(And he died.)

(Iron Corpse Mei Chaofeng turned blind and escaped.)

(Asheng's tomb. Wife Hanxiaoying) (But my fifth master Zhang Asheng)

(died in the chaotic battlefield.)

Jing, rise up.

Fifth Master died saving me,

I feel bad.

We live and die in the martial world.

This is our fate.

Your Fifth Master fought for justice.

He died a worthy death.

You must diligently practice martial arts,

and master our martial arts.

Then your master can rest his soul.

Disciple will not disappoint

masters' expectations!

(From then on,)

(I learned martial arts from my six masters.)

(such as fist position, swordsmanship, assassination weapons, and inner energy.)

(They taught me everything.)

(But...)

Jing is not talented in martial arts.

We taught him ten moves.

He can learn at most one.

That boy Jing

is really...

Big brother,

maybe we should send this boy

back to that cow-nosed bun Taoist.

We just admit defeat

in that bet, okay?

If that's the case,

won't my Fifth Brother's death be in vain?

We made a vow back then.

Now we're giving up halfway.

How can we face the Central Plains again?

Don't lose heart.

Though Jing is not gifted,

he is obedient and hardworking.

- Heaven rewards diligence. - Punch hard.

- He has the potential. - Stand still.

- Exactly. - Good. Again.

We Seven Freaks of Jiangnan

always keep our promises.

We never back down!

(Guo Jing)

=The Legend of Heroes=

=Hot Blooded=

=Episode 1=

Got beaten again.

How did practice?

Your palm strength is so weak.

Second Brother, you hit too hard.

This is a letter from the Zhongnan Mountain.

What's it say?

It says Qiu Chuji

found a Yang Tiexin's descendant

and taken him as a disciple.

He mentioned the upcoming

Jiaxing Martial Arts Duel two years later.

Seems he's very confident.

Jing's martial arts

hasn't improved much in the past couple of decades.

The duel is approaching,

Jing may not be able to win.

What if he gets injured?

How can we tell his mother?

(My masters said,)

(when I turn 18,)

(I must go to Jiangnan to duel with someone.)

(He is my sworn brother)

(named Yang Kang.)

It won't work

even if you practice for a hundred years!

Excuse me?

Watch this.

May I ask who you are?

Your masters

are all top martial artists.

These past ten years,

they've surely trained you meticulously

without holding back.

But your progress remains minimal.

Do you know

the reason?

Because I'm stupid.

Masters teach me everything,

but I can't learn.

I doubt that.

But

they teach without mastering the method,

and you learn without grasping the essence.

Your seven masters

made a private agreement with my junior

Qiu Chuji.

If I teach you privately,

it would be unfair.

But

we are lucky to meet.

I'll teach you something

about breathing, walking,

and sleeping.

I have four sayings.

You must remember them.

"Clear heart, emotions departed,

in empty body Qi can spread.

A dead mind, yet the spirit lives,

for Yin thrives but the Yang is shed."

Clear heart, emotions departed,

in empty body Qi can spread.

A dead mind, yet the spirit lives,

for Yin thrives but the Yang is shed."

Seems Jing gets it.

He is progressing so rapidly.

Maybe we can win the bet.

Something is wrong.

Have you noticed that?

Hard to say.

Go test him.

Bold apprentice!

I accidentally injured Second Master.

Please punish me.

I'm annoyed with you

not because you hurt

your Second Master,

but because your internal martial arts.

Who taught you this?

Internal martial arts?

Is it the heat

swirling in my chest?

Yes, that's it.

Jing,

who taught you this?

Six masters.

These years, a senior has been instructing me

on sleeping

and breathing.

But

he hasn't taught me

any moves.

He also said,

he might be

more skilled than my masters

and didn't allow me to call him master.

Anything else about him?

He made me swear

not to describe his appearance

or movements to anyone.

Since I promised him,

I can't break my word.

Jing is right.

In the martial world,

we value loyalty and integrity.

You can go now.

Big brother?

Follow him.

- Go. - Okay.

I didn't expect Jing's inner energy skillls

to be so impressive.

That mysterious person must be up there.

Big brother, what should we do?

Let's follow him and see.

Everyone, play things by ear.

Big brother.

It's an old acquaintance.

The person on the mountain

is Mei Chaofeng!

What?

Jing is learning

martial arts from that demoness?

I can't believe

our years of effort

have nurtured a threat.

Jing is loyal and honest.

He is not an evil person.

I only knew his face, not his heart.

How can an honest person

stay with such a scoundrel?

That's impossible.

Jing killed Copper Corpse Chen Xuanfeng.

He's that witch's husband.

That's the viciousness of Mei Chaofeng.

She must have exploited Jing's passion

for martial arts

to use him against us.

I'm afraid if we fall into a trap,

Jing might not escape either.

We'll be mocked forever

if the martial world know that

we've raised an ungrateful person

for over a decade.

What are you saying?

Tonight,

we'll rectify our conduct

and eradicate the evil completely!

Taoist, what's wrong?

Iron Corpse Mei Chaofeng.

Mei Chaofeng?

Calm down.

Over the past ten years,

this demoness perfected her

Nine Yin Skeleton Claw.

We might not be her match.

Let's wait for the right moment

to strike.

Masters.

Demoness,

we've searched for you for ten years.

It's your time to die!

I've been looking for you too.

Tonight, you came to me.

Let's settle the score.

Pay for my Fifth Brother's life!

Eradicate the evil completely!

Jing!

Master!

I'm not your master.

Second Master,

what are you doing?

That demoness taught you martial arts

to turn you against us,

right?

Traitor!

I'll cripple you.

Why are you standing still?

I never harm my masters.

Stop with the sweet talk.

If you can't do it,

I will.

Wait!

Please hold on.

Who are you?

I am Ma Yu.

(Ma Yu, one of Seven Immortals of Quanzhen) I've long admired Seven Heroes of Jiangnan.

I have no intention of interfering

in your master-apprentice matters.

But I'm lucky to get acquainted with Guo Jing.

There might be some misunderstanding.

Did you teach Jing

internal martial arts?

Exctly.

I taught him without

Seven Heroes' permission.

I apologize.

Come help!

Master!

So you are a Taoist from Zhongnan Mountain.

Shame on your reputable sect.

You're just picking on the minority.

Leaving a demoness like you

will only harm the martial world.

Everyone wants you dead!

The road ahead is long.

I'll fight you to the death!

Stop.

Jing,

you will go to the duel alone

this time.

Masters, won't you

come with me?

Mei Chaofeng just escaped.

Recently,

she has been appearing in the desert.

We want to find her

while she's still injured

and eradicate the evil completely!

Masters, please be careful.

I'll try my best and won't make you

lose faces.

You'll travel alone.

No master

can teach you this experience.

Remember my words:

if you can't win, just run.

Yes.

Jing,

don't forget.

By noon on March 24th,

you must make it to Zuixian Restaurant

in Jiaxing Prefecture.

No matter what,

don't miss it.

Yes, Master.

It's noon on March 24th,

at Zuixian Restaurant in Jiaxing.

We'll come find you after we're done

dealing with the demoness.

Yes, Master.

(Changqing Restaurant) Stop! Stop!

Don't run!

Stop!

- Stop! - Don't run!

Stop!

Stop!

(Huang Rong)

Buns!

Fresh buns!

Get your pendant.

Have a look!

Great! Great!

Who are this stinky beggar?

Dare to steal from us?

You want them?

Here you go.

You ruined our steamed buns!

How can we sell them?

Hit him!

Don't be rude.

What? You want to fight?

No.

I'll pay for the buns.

Is it enough?

Alright.

Lucky for you.

Let's go.

Little brother,

I can

treat you to a good meal.

Great.

I'm bored alone.

Good to have a company.

Come on in.

- This way, please. - Little brother,

are you from Jiangnan? [*Jiangnan: regions south of the Yangtze River]

Why?

My mother is from Lin'an, Zhejiang.

My masters

are from Zuojin, Jiaxing.

That's why your accent

feels so...

- This way. - Feels what?

I can't say it.

Is it familiar?

Exactly.

Waiter, we'll order.

Yes, we'll order.

What can you order?

Yeah, I will order.

What a snob.

Do you think I can't

afford your food?

Alright,

you can.

But weren't you the one

stealing buns?

Yes, he's definitely a snob.

Big brother,

You said you would treat me a meal.

- Can I order anything? - Little brother,

you can order anything.

What good food can you order?

I'm afraid

your best dishes

might not suit my taste.

As long as you can name it,

we can make it.

But what if there's no one to pay

after the meal?

Sir, what do you want?

Half a jin of beef, [*jin: a weight unit]

and one jin of lamb liver.

Little brother, want some wine?

Beef, lamb liver, are they good?

First time in the Central Plains,

I don't know

the local customs.

You can order some local dishes.

So I can taste something new.

Great.

Let's start with fruits and nuts.

Okay.

Give us four dried, four fresh,

two sour-salted and four preserved in honey.

What are you talking about?

In this small place,

I doubt you can offer really good food.

Four dried

are lychees, longans,

steamed dates, and ginkgo nuts.

And give us whatever's in season.

We also want sliced,

perfumed sour cherries

and sour plums with ginger.

Quite specific.

These are just the basics.

I don't want to trouble you.

Since you don't have fresh fish or shrimp here,

give us eight main dishes

that are still good.

What do you want then?

Listen up. They are

steamed quail,

fried duck webs, chicken tongue soup,

deer stomach with scallops,

pan-fried beef tendons,

rabbit shreds with chrysanthemum,

deep-fried deer legs,

and gold and silver hooves with ginger and vinegar.

I just ordered what you can cook.

As for expensive dishes,

I don't think you can make them.

These eight dishes

cost a lot.

Just the duck webs and chicken tongue soup

need dozens of ducks

and chickens.

Well...

This gentleman will pay.

Do you think he can't afford it?

Well...

Is it enough?

Yes. Yes.

I'll go prepare now.

Do you need anything else?

Eight dim sum dishes. That's enough.

What wine do you want?

What do you have?

We have ten-year-old

Sanbai Fen wine.

How about two bottles?

That's not bad.

Okay.

Great.

Please wait a moment.

You took too much.

No, I didn't.

Keep it.

You gave him too much.

Actually, I have more.

I've never

seen such delicacies.

You've never been to Jiangnan?

An old saying goes,

"In Wu and Yue,

missing someone in dreams.

Transparent tiles gleam over endless waves;

A black awning boat carries the essence of spring.

In water towns, my soul finds repose."

This is Jiangnan.

Though I don't quite understand,

it sounds beautiful.

- Waiter! - Coming!

Come here.

Yes, sir?

Your scallops are five years old.

How can you serve this?

I don't know that...

Sir, I'm the manager.

You got it right,

indeed.

I apologize.

Actually, we don't serve scallops.

These were just bought

from the biggest restaurant here.

Then take them away.

- Quickly, take them away. - Take them away.

Let's go on.

Here.

I'll use this one.

Okay.

Little brother, cheers.

Delicious.

Here.

(Changqing Restaurant)

Have some of this.

Big brother,

what are you looking at?

Little brother,

your skin is fair.

Why make yourself dirty?

We've been talking for too long.

The food is cold.

It doesn't matter.

We can still eat them.

Not tasty anymore.

- Waiter! - Yes?

Remove these

cold dishes

and make a new set of dishes.

Clear the table!

Come, help clear the table.

Clear the table!

(Changqing Restaurant)

Big brother,

thank you. Goodbye.

Hold on.

Little brother,

we really hit it off.

You're underdressed.

You can keep

my mink coat.

Also,

here's some money.

Here you are.

Take it.

Don't take others' buns.

Bye.

Let's go.

Big brother.

Little brother, what's wrong?

May I know your name?

Oh, I forgot that.

My name is Guo Jing.

And you?

My family name is Huang,

given name Rong.

Brother Huang.

Are you going back south?

If so,

let's travel together.

I'm not going back.

Why not go home?

My father threw me out.

How could that be?

He imprisoned a man,

and wouldn't release him.

I felt sorry for him

and worried he might be bored,

so I brought him food and wine

and talked to him.

My father found out

and scolded me,

so I ran away at night.

How long have you been away?

Over a month.

By now, your father

must be missing you.

What about your mother?

She died long ago.

I grew up without my mother.

I'm the opposite.

My father died early.

My mother raised me.

Who is better,

father or mother?

I don't know.

Anyway, just go home

after you've had fun.

He threw me out. I won't go back.

No.

Why doesn't he come for me?

Maybe he tried

but couldn't find you.

That's true.

I'll go back when I'm done playing.

Big brother,

if I ask for a treasure,

can you give it to me?

Of course. I'll give you

anything you want.

I like your fine horse.

You like it? It's yours.

Here.

Really?

I never lie.

Brother Huang, what's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

Here. Get ready.

Hold on.

Red horse.

Today, I'm giving you away

to my good friend, Brother Huang.

You must behave.

Don't be a baby, okay?

Good.

Bye.

(Martial Duel for a Spouse)

What's new over there?

What's so lively?

Your Highness,

that's a martial duel for a spouse.

Martial duel for a spouse?

What's that?

A poor artist holds it

to marry off his daughter.

Whoever wins the duel

can marry her.

Interesting.

Let's go take a look.

Great! Great!

Amazing!

(Mu Nianci) Great! Great!

Amazing!

Can't do it. I'll get beaten up there.

Give it a try.

I'm Mu Yi

from Shandong.

We pass here,

not seeking fame or fortune.

It's just that my daughter is not married.

She once made a wish

not for a wealthy husband,

but for a martial arts master.

Make it specific!

- Tell us! - Yes.

If anyone

under 30 years old,

unmarried,

can defeat my daughter in a fight,

he can have my promise to marry her.

Make way!

Don't look!

Be quick!

Move!

Go!

Move aside!

(Wanyan Kang, Prince of the Jin Empire)

Is this duel

for this young lady?

I'm Mu.

How can I help you, Young Master?

I'd like to give it a try.

Young Master is joking.

We are just rough folks.

How dare we spar with a Young Master?

Isn't anyone allowed

to come up and compete?

I like duels.

Miss,

fight with me.

Young Master,

this is not an ordinary duels and contests.

It concerns my daughter's marriage.

Please understand.

How long have you been

holding the duel?

Through seven rounds,

it's been almost half a year.

And no one

has defeated her?

I don't believe that.

I believe

either those with exceptional martial art skills are married,

or they disdain fighting with my daughter.

Alright then,

since we're both martial artists,

I'll give it a try.

Young Master,

why force the issue?

Let's spar respectfully, and that's it.

Don't worry.

I will not injure

or hurt your daughter.

Miss, you just need to land one punch

on me to win.

Is that okay?

Martial duels

demand fairness.

- Hurry up and start! - Yeah!

You two fight, get married

and have babies soon!

Miss,

shall we?

Fight, fight, fight!

Fight!

Father.

Good.

Good!

Good moves.

She...

Good! Amazing!

Clearly, you can defeat me,

but you kept holding back.

Are you looking down on me?

I'm not done yet. Keep going!

If you want to have fun with me,

please go away.

Both of us enjoy the duel.

How could it just be me having fun?

Take my move.

Don't step on me!

Marry him.

Great! Great!

Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him! Marry him!

Give it to me!

Look at him.

Young Master,

may I ask your name?

I don't think it's necessary.

We live at Gaosheng Inn

on the West street.

Let's go and have a talk there.

Talk about what?

You and your daughter

don't take the duel seriously.

Never mind,

I'm going home.

Since you defeated my daughter,

I'll marry her

to you.

It's about the marriage.

We can't be careless.

We can have a fight.

It's fun.

But marry her?

I don't think so.

And miss didn't dodge

or block my palm strike.

It's unfair for me to win.

Young Master,

are you making jokes on us?

My daughter

cannot marry such a frivolous person.

Give the shoe back!

She gave it to me.

What's it to you?

Although I'm not marrying her,

I can't refuse the award.

One can be killed but not humiliated.

Father!

Father!
