After Yang Podi and his companions left, the three blonde women seemed to fall into silence as well.
Yang Podi guessed correctly; the three were indeed Qian Renxue, the Snake Lance Douluo, and the Porcupinefish Douluo.
Snake Lance Douluo bowed to Qian Renxue: "Young Master, it's rather strange that they came to the Star Dou Great Forest. How could someone with Fifth Soul Ring possibly reach the core area? Why didn't you keep them here?"
Qian Renxue shook her head. "They outnumber us. Although Dugu Bo and Niu Gao have only recently become Titled Douluo, even if the two of you join forces, you might not be able to take them all down. Moreover, the other two are also quite strong. Our main purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time is to hunt for Soul Ring. We can deal with them later."
"But young master, they have seen your true face. I'm afraid it might leave hidden dangers."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment, "It's alright. Apart from a very few people within the Spirit Hall, no one has ever seen my true face. Even if they have some doubts, they don't know my current identity. Besides, Yang Podi has already broken through to the Soul King realm. I heard that woman has some kind of Golden Generation under her command. I'd like to see if the team she's painstakingly cultivated at great cost can achieve the final victory in the Soul Master Tournament."
" Snake Lance, what's the current situation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team? What are their specific Soul Power Level?"
Snake Lance Douluo quickly spoke up, "Young Master, based on my observations over the past period, only two Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team have not yet reached the Soul Ancestor realm, but they are already level 39. They should all be able to reach Soul Ancestor before the Soul Master Tournament. Yang Ping'an and Dugu Yan, who have the highest Soul Power, are at levels 47 and 46 respectively, and Ye Lingling the Nine Heart Begonia is already at level 45."
Qian Renxue nodded. "Judging from this situation, next year we should have a lineup of up to 2 Soul King and 5 Soul Ancestor. We'll definitely be able to give that woman a surprise then."
The Snake Lance Douluo and the Porcupinefish Douluo, who were standing to the side, remained silent; neither of them dared to get involved in such a matter.
Looking at the black Blazing Lion King Soul Ring before her, Qian Renxue couldn't help but sneer, "Genius? Golden Generation? I'd like to see what your so-called Golden Generation is all about."
After saying that, Qian Renxue stopped thinking about it and began to prepare to absorb the Soul Ring.
At this moment, Yang Podi and his group also fell into an eerie silence.
Dugu Bo thought for a moment before speaking, " Little Monster, don't you and your Breaking Clan have a deep-seated grudge against the Spirit Hall? Haven't you ever thought about revenge?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "The hatred of our Breaking Clan is all related to the Clear Sky Sect back then. Now that we have all broken away from the Clear Sky Sect, we don't have such a great hatred for the Spirit Hall anymore."
"Besides, if the Spirit Hall had really wanted to wipe out my Breaking Clan back then, I'm afraid none of my grandfathers would have escaped. Moreover, I'm quite self-aware; we only have a few hundred people now, we don't have the strength to oppose the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, and we certainly won't actively seek trouble with them."
Father Yang Zhentian's face was somewhat cold. " Podi, is this your true intention?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "Dad, it's not that I want to let go of my hatred, nor am I afraid of the Spirit Hall, but we also need to assess our own strength. If we continue to oppose the Spirit Hall, the extinction of our family may not be far off."
"Right now, many people outside are boasting about the strength of our Four Single-Attribute Clans, even claiming they have the potential to become the new Upper Three Sects. We should have a pretty good idea who's spreading this information. Those people are just hoping we'll fight the Spirit Hall to the death, so they can reduce the pressure on themselves."
"But if we really do what they want, the consequences will be dire, perhaps even worse than those of the Clear Sky Sect. Our family doesn't have Tang Chen."
In recent years Four Single-Attribute Clans have developed very rapidly. Even the weakest Speed Clan, has four or five hundred Soul Master, while the strongest Breaking Clan, has seven or eight hundred. The four clans combined have more than two thousand Soul Master, and they also have two Titled Douluo on the surface. In terms of apparent strength, they have already surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The current situation in the Soul World is that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are desperately fighting against the Spirit Hall. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has developed extremely rapidly, with nearly four thousand Soul Master, making it arguably the number one sect in the world.
With the support of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the only sect that dares to confront the Spirit Hall. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is struggling to survive with only Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo. Although their style of doing things is still domineering, they have become much more low-key in recent years.
Even Yu Tianheng, a core disciple, did not go to the Thunder Academy, but instead went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was clearly to form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, so that his strength would not decline too quickly.
After entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng relentlessly pursued Dugu Yan, and the two were even in the same Heaven Dou Grade class, clearly indicating that he was after Dugu Bo.
It's a real pity, though. Even though Yu Tianheng kept pursuing her, Dugu Yan still looked down on her. Dugu Yan herself is a very proud girl. After years of hard training, her strength is now much higher than Yu Tianheng's. Dugu Yan herself is already level 46, while Yu Tianheng hasn't even reached the Soul Ancestor yet, so naturally she looks down on him.
Various powerful forces across the land have been trying to win over Dugu Bo Dugu Bo, knowing his immense influence. However, Dugu Bo has always been a loner, and aside from serving as a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire out of gratitude, he has almost rejected all attempts to win him over.
In fact, Yang Podi sometimes found it strange that Dugu Bo, who was always at odds with the Spirit Hall in the original work, was not eliminated in advance, despite being a powerful figure capable of overwhelming large-scale battles. Given the Spirit Hall's strength, dealing with this weakest Titled Douluo should not have been difficult, yet Dugu Bo poisoned hundreds of thousands of people in the Battle of Jialing Pass, proving himself to be a formidable weapon.
After hearing Yang Podi's words, everyone present fell silent. These people were all Titled Douluo and had some understanding of the Spirit Hall's strength. Although they didn't know exactly how many Titled Douluo there were in the Spirit Hall, they believed there were at least ten or eight.
Moreover, due to the retreat of the Clear Sky Sect in recent years, without the Clear Sky Sect's restraint, both the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have developed extremely rapidly.
Looking at the people around him, Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, " Senior Dugu, Second Grandfather, Grandfather, what we saw today must not be spread. Since the Spirit Hall has kept this descendant of the Qian Family hidden so tightly, there must be a huge conspiracy. If we spread it rashly, we may be killed to silence us."
Dugu Bo asked again, puzzled, "If that's the case, why don't we take this opportunity to keep the three of them here?"
" Grandpa Dugu, they have two Titled Douluo. In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, we can't keep them here, and they can't keep us here either."
"Furthermore, my stance was quite clear just now: I didn't want to cause trouble, which is why things are at peace for the time being."
In fact, Yang Podi had something else he didn't say. Given Qian Renxue's attitude towards Bibi Dong, especially Bibi Dong's high hopes for Hu Liena and the others, this little angel probably wanted to cause some trouble. She was hoping that Bibi Dong would be embarrassed, so that at least her own family would be safe for the time being.
After discussing it for a while, the group decided to search for the Soul Ring first, and they would try to go as far away as possible to avoid encountering it again later.
This time, the group ran to a stream again, hoping to wait and see what kind of Soul Beast might appear.
It must be said that the Soul Beast in the core area are indeed powerful. Many of them are from the same clan. For example, just now we encountered a group of Gale Demon Wolf, numbering about twenty or so. The leader should be the clan leader, estimated to be around 70,000 years old. However, there are two others below that that are over 50,000 years old, and the rest are all over 10,000 years old.
According to Yang Podi's own estimation, the strength of this single Gale Demon Wolf clan is probably comparable to that of a sect from the Lower Four Sects. Moreover, the Gale Demon Wolf clan is very united, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would not dare to provoke them easily.
The group waited for a long time before finally finding a decent Soul Beast.
This is a Diamond Mammoth Diamond Mammoth that is about 80,000 years old. It is over 20 meters long and about 8 meters tall. Its skin is yellowish-brown and looks even harder than granite. In particular, its huge tusks are over 4 or 5 meters long. According to everyone's estimation, these tusks are probably comparable to divine artifacts.
The Diamond Mammoth is known as one of the most defensive Soul Beast and is also the inherited martial Martial Soul of the Elephant Armor Sect. For Niu Jinfeng, a Defense System Soul Master, it is an absolute gem. Even her maternal grandfather, Niu Gao, is envious of it.
However, this Soul Beast will be extremely difficult to hunt. Even Soul Breaking Spear at the Titled Douluo level would likely only be able to inflict damage, not a fatal one.
In particular, the Diamond Mammoth is extremely powerful; in terms of strength and defense alone, it is no less than Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even Yang Podi himself was a little envious. If it weren't so suitable for his mother, he would have liked to use it as his Sixth Soul Ring.
However, the advantage is that Dugu Bo came along this time. Although the Diamond Mammoth is known for its strong defense, it is still much less effective against poison. In particular, Dugu Bo is known as the number one poison Soul Master in the world, and the poisons refined by the Breaking Clan are also quite powerful.
After discussing it, the group decided to secretly follow the Diamond Mammoth and then find a way to poison its food.
After tracking it for several days, it was discovered that this Diamond Mammoth was actually a herbivore, mainly feeding on shrubs and small trees, and it liked to eat tender leaves from trees every day.
However, poisoning is quite troublesome. They can't use too strong a poison at once, nor can they use a poison with too strong a smell. After some deliberation, they decided to use the secret medicine of the Breaking Clan — Seven-Colored Splendor. In the original story, Xue Ye was also unknowingly poisoned by this medicine, which is colorless, odorless, and has no antidote.
Yang Zhentian, the father, personally poisoned some tender leaves in the forest where the Diamond Mammoth frequented, and even added some other toxins.
Sure enough, after observing it for five days, the Diamond Mammoth seemed to be unwell, its mental state had deteriorated significantly, and there was even some blood at the corner of its mouth.
The group exchanged glances and decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Diamond Mammoth was already deeply poisoned.
The six people flew swiftly towards the Diamond Mammoth, attacking it from different angles.
The Diamond Mammoth was suddenly attacked. It roared as if it wanted to fight back desperately, but there were four Titled Douluo appearing, and it was no match for them.
Especially since it was facing off against its maternal grandfather, Niu Gao, Niu Gao's strength and defense had greatly improved since he broke through to the Titled Douluo level. Even Titled Douluo below Level 96 could not compare to him in terms of defense and strength alone. In terms of strength, this Diamond Mammoth was probably only at the Titled Douluo level.
However, even his own father and second grandfather, who summoned their Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear, found it difficult to break through the Diamond Mammoth's defenses, only managing to leave wounds on the Diamond Mammoth. This defense was truly astonishing.
Especially when the Diamond Mammoth was fighting desperately, it was able to stand on its hind legs, raise its front legs high, and press them down directly forward with a force like a landslide.
Grandpa Niu Gao was not afraid at all. His Ninth Soul Ring flashed, revealing his Ninth Soul Skill: Plate Armor Defense. A huge Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros appeared in front of Grandpa Niu Gao, seemingly challenging the Diamond Mammoth.
The Diamond Mammoth and the Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros crater in the ground, as if it had exploded. But Grandpa didn't take a single step back; instead, the Diamond Mammoth was pushed back quite a bit.
Immediately after a barrage of attacks, the Diamond Mammoth let out a roar and crashed to the ground.
