Douluo Dalu 2: Jueshi Tangmen Anime Announcement
During the Tencent Video Animation Annual Conference last August 8, 2021; it was revealed that Douluo Dalu 2: Jueshi Tangmen is among the upcoming projects from the Chinese giant company. This is a big surprise but at the same time expected, knowing how the ongoing Soul Land donghua adaptation had been dominating the market among local viewers of Chinese animation.
Douluo Dalu 2: Jueshi Tangmen or Soul Land 2: The Unrivaled Tang Sect is based on the 2nd novel of Tang Jia San Shao from the Soul Land series. While the first series revolves around Tang San, Xiao Wu, and his companions; Douluo Dalu 2: Jueshi Tangmen will highlight their descendants in action after thousands of years had passed to reignite the glory of the Tang Sect which has already declined. It will continue delivering the same old antics from its prequel which includes a battle competition of academies and sects, magical technology, martial spirits, and its signature romance cliche. The novel had been published in 2012 with over 622 chapters and can be read on Qidian, Novel Updates and Wuxiaworld.
Aside from the upcoming donghua, the novel was also adapted into manhua which was published on November 22, 2012 with story and art by Jueshi Tang Men Manhua Chuangzuo Zu, and original story credited to Tang Jian San Shao. If you wish to read Douluo Dalu 2 manhua, you can check it in the following official outlets:

The legend of the continent, the battle that brought fame; the Sacred Phoenix Lady, the Windfire Meteor Godrealm saber-art; the pair that ascend and fuse, the golden sun and the blue moon, the fury of the crashing thunder. There is no magic, no battle qi, nor any martial arts in this land. However, there are martial spirits. Ten thousand years have passed since the founding of the Tang Sect on the Douluo continent, and it has declined. A new, proud generation of heaven’s chosen has been born. Can the new generation of Shrek’s Seven Devils rally the Tang Sect and once more compose the song of the Unrivaled Tang Sect? A million-year-old spirit beast, a sacred deathgod that holds the sun, the moon, and the stars in his hands, and a brand new spirit tool system which caused the fall of the Tang sect. One miracle shall occur after another. Can the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons rally the winds, and can the glory of the Tang Sect ascend once more? All of this will be continued in the second installment of Douluo Dalu—The Unrivaled Tang Sect! [Source: Novel Updates]
