Actually, both his maternal grandfather Niu Gao and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo were quite familiar with Yang Podi and got along well with him.
Faced with their teasing, Yang Podi was speechless. They were his elders; he couldn't very well argue with them.
Just before they were about to set off, Grandpa Yang Wudi suddenly asked, " Podi, you want to go to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your Fifth Soul Ring. Do you have any plans? Or rather, do you have any goals?"
Yang Podi thought carefully for a moment before speaking, "Power-type Soul Beast, rare-type Soul Beast, the higher the quality of the Soul Beast, the better, preferably dragon-type."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but chuckle, "You've got quite the ambition, kid, but there's no need to hunt in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest. That place is extremely dangerous; even I don't dare venture too deep in."
Yang Podi's father, however, seemed to understand his thoughts. " Podi, what age do you want for your Fifth Soul Ring?"
"Around 40,000 years, at most 45,000 years."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. A normal Soul Master's Fifth Soul Ring is only 12,000 years old. Yang Podi actually wanted such a high-age Soul Ring. Wasn't he afraid of his body exploding?
Father Yang Zhentian seemed a little worried. "A 40,000-year Soul Ring is already the Seventh Soul Ring for many people, or even the Eighth Soul Ring for many people. Are you sure your body can handle it?"
"Dad, I feel my physical condition is excellent right now. Absorbing a 40,000-year-old Soul Ring shouldn't be a problem at all."
Everyone present was puzzled, but after the final physical examination, it turned out that Yang Podi's physical strength was almost on par with that of a high-level Soul Emperor. It seemed that absorbing a 40,000-year-old Soul Ring was indeed possible.
After some discussion, it was decided that the age limit of the Soul Ring would be set within 40,000 years, and absolutely not exceed 40,000 years. Yang Podi also thought about it and finally decided to choose according to this age limit.
Early the next morning, the five set off from the Breaking Clan, preparing to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After three days of travel, the group arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, entering the Star Dou Great Forest was a breeze, since his maternal grandfather had recently obtained Soul Ring from there, and both of his grandfathers had helped him at the time.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone became cautious, especially in the mixed zone. Dugu Bo was usually responsible for scouting ahead, as he was Titled Douluo and had stronger perception. Meanwhile, Grandpa Niu Gao and Yang Podi in the center of the group, mainly for protection.
Yang Podi re-entered the mixed zone and indeed saw many excellent Soul Beast, some of which were even considered top-grade Soul Beast.
Unfortunately, most of them Soul Beast with an age of less than 30,000 years, which Yang Podi found rather unappealing.
When the five entered the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Podi clearly sensed a change in the aura.
The energy in the air seemed to have become even more concentrated, and the five of them were constantly attacked by various Soul Beast Soul Beast, most of which were over 30,000 years old and extremely powerful.
The entire core area is only about 200 kilometers in radius, but in just one day, the group encountered four Soul Beast that were over 30,000 years old, and one of them was even 50,000 years old.
Especially with the dense Soul Power fluctuations in the air, if this place weren't so dangerous, it would probably be a sacred place for many Soul Master to cultivate, and the speed of Soul Power improvement would be much faster than outside.
The group's plan was to first help Yang Podi find his Fifth Soul Ring on the outskirts of the core area, and then slowly venture deeper to search for the other two's Ninth Soul Ring. After all, the outer area was relatively safer.
When night fell, everyone gathered together, leaving only one person to keep watch while the others rested. However, only one of the two Titled Douluo remained on watch.
I don't know if I was just really lucky this time. In the past, it always took me a lot of time to find Soul Beast. Last time, it even took me more than a month to find that Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle.
On the second day, they encountered a very good Soul Beast, a 35,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth. Diamond Mammoth are among the most defensive Soul Beast, and their strength is also quite impressive. However, Yang Podi still didn't like the image of Huyan Zhen as an iron-willed creature, so the group had to search again.
Perhaps it was just good luck? After leaving the Diamond Mammoth, we encountered a gigantic Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf. This Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf was over 20 meters long and looked incredibly powerful. Based on its age, it was estimated to be a Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf that was 76,000 years old.
The Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf is extremely powerful, with excellent speed and strength, making it one of the most popular Soul Beast among many Power Attack System Soul Master. The fact that this particular Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf is alone makes things even easier.
After some discussion, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang was very satisfied with the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf and planned to use it as his Ninth Soul Ring.
The Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf is extremely fast, especially in the Star Dou Great Forest Star Dou Great Forest, where it is very familiar with the environment. If you fail to land a hit, it can easily escape.
The five devised a strategy for the Soul Hunting, and then decided that Dugu Bo would go ahead to secretly poison the wolf. After that, everyone would attack together. Once the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf was poisoned, it would be difficult for it to escape.
The poisoning tactic was a great success. The Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf was poisoned, and Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf originally silver-gray body turned completely green after being poisoned.
Upon realizing it had been poisoned, the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf howled fiercely, seemingly furious that it had been poisoned and was in great pain. Its howls even carried a hint of terror.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Niu Gao, and Dugu Bo launched an attack on the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf.
Four of them occupied one direction to prevent the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf from escaping, while the second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, faced it head-on, and the maternal grandfather, Niu Gao, blocked its retreat and prevented it from making a final desperate attack.
Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo attacked from both sides.
Even when surrounded by four people, the two-headed Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf showed no fear and instead took the initiative to attack, demonstrating its formidable strength.
However, the four attackers were also extremely powerful, essentially four experts with the combat strength of a Titled Douluo.
Especially Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang, who directly activated his Martial Soul Avatar, a huge human-shaped phantom appeared in the sky, holding an extremely large Soul Breaking Spear in his hand, his Soul Ring flashing, and he raised the Soul Breaking Spear to directly stab the two-headed Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf.
This attack seemed capable of piercing through everything, creating a huge wound on the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf, almost piercing its entire body.
Seeing that the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf was seriously injured, the others intensified their attack.
After being poisoned, the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf suffered a significant impact on both its speed and strength, with its power reduced to less than half of its usual level. It even had to endure pain to fight, and the outcome was predictable.
Before long, the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf lay on the ground, barely alive. Yet, its eyes seemed to hold endless resentment and pain, whether from its wounds or the poison, it was unclear.
The next step is the most important one: absorbing the Soul Ring. This process must be completed without interruption.
Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang used his Soul Power to drag the dying Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf away, while Niu Gao held Yang Podi's hand, and the five of them quickly left the place.
Niu Gao Yang Podi seemed somewhat puzzled, Niu Gao explained, "Our battle just now was quite intense, and many Soul Beast around could probably hear it. If you absorb the Soul Ring in place, it might attract attacks from other Soul Beast."
"Furthermore, the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf just howled repeatedly, possibly calling for its companions, so we'd better get away from here."
The five of them quickly walked towards the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, and only stopped after finding a relatively safe place.
Dugu Bo set up poison arrays all around, and the three of them guarded three directions respectively to prevent other Soul Beast from launching a sneak attack.
Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang then delivered the final blow to the dying Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf and prepared to absorb the Soul Ring. However, this Soul Ring was 76,000 years old, and the absorption time would be quite long, so he had to adjust his physical condition to its best before he could do so.
Yang Podi, feeling rather bored, decided to dissect the corpse of the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf in the center by himself.
Normally, if it's a team-based Soul Hunting, the corpse needs to be disposed of by everyone together at the end, mainly to prevent unequal distribution of the loot. Especially if a team is hired to Soul Hunting, the corpse belongs to the Soul Hunting team.
Take the Spirit Hall for example. Spirit Hall's Soul Master can apply to assist in hunting Soul Ring, but they need to make a great contribution to the Spirit Hall. Moreover, the corpses and even Soul Bone obtained after hunting Soul Ring belong to the Spirit Hall.
Some families have similar plans: the family helps hunt for Soul Ring, and everything else except the Soul Ring belongs to the family, which is also considered to increase the family's wealth.
However, Yang Podi couldn't care less about all that. Everyone around him was someone he trusted deeply, and he even had a close relationship with Dugu Bo.
However, this time they were really lucky. Perhaps the Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf suffered too much pain after being poisoned, because it actually developed a left leg bone.
The left leg bone of a 76,000-year -Two-Headed Gale Demon Wolf is a top-grade Soul Bone, with an age that is much higher than the Soul Bone rewarded in the Soul Master Tournament, and it can even be said to be no weaker than the inherited Soul Bone of the Clear Sky Sect.
Taking advantage of his young age, Yang Podi simply put away the Soul Bone, which caused the three people around him to burst into laughter.
Grandpa Yang Wudi, seeing this situation, was speechless and looked at Poison Douluo and Niu Gao with great embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it to his two old friends.
My own grandson is too clever for his own good.
