After hearing Yang Podi's words, not only did his grandfather Yang Wudi express doubt, but everyone else also expressed doubt, feeling that although the Spirit Hall was domineering, it would not go so far as to destroy all the major sects.
Yang Podi glanced at everyone before speaking, "Grandpa, you used to be the Grand Elder of the outer sect of the Clear Sky Sect. Do you think the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect would have gone to war if Tang Hao hadn't been involved?"
Grandpa Yang Wudi pondered for a while before slowly speaking, "Back then, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall had a deep conflict. They were almost always on the right side in every aspect. Even without Tang Hao's incident, they would probably have been bitter enemies long ago."
"Grandpa, which do you think is stronger, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now or the Clear Sky Sect back then?"
Yang Wudi shook his head. "Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has developed rapidly in recent years and its overall strength has improved a lot, it is still far inferior to the Clear Sky Sect of yesteryear. No matter how much the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect develops, it only has two Titled Douluo so far."
Yang Podi continued, "Since the Spirit Hall was able to attack the Clear Sky Sect Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School as well. Moreover, the current Pope, Bibi Dong, is much stronger than the previous Pope, and her ambitions are probably even greater."
Yang Wudi looked at his grandson with a hint of disbelief. " Podi, is this also the reason you've always kept our Breaking Clan hidden? Is this also the reason you've always wanted our family to avoid conflict with the Spirit Hall?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "That's only one of the reasons. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family clearly want to make someone stand out. Our Four Single-Attribute Clans are barely strong enough, and they want us to lead the opposition against the Spirit Hall like the Four Single-Attribute Clans Clear Sky Sect did back then. They all have ill intentions."
Yang Wudi thought for a long time before speaking, " Podi, for next year's Soul Master Tournament finals, I plan to go to the Spirit Hall with your maternal grandfather Niu Gao to receive the Spirit Hall's investiture. At least we will be more low-key in the future and will no longer oppose the Spirit Hall."
Yang Podi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was really afraid that his grandfather would be stubborn and go against the Spirit Hall, which would bring annihilation to the family. Even if he wanted to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall, he should at least wait until he had grown up for ten years.
Yang Podi returned to his room and began to organize his gains. As for the 80,000-year-old Golden Lion King Head Soul Bone, he decided to leave it with his grandfather for safekeeping.
To be honest, an 80,000-year-old Head Soul Bone is already considered top-grade in the outside world. The inherited Soul Bone of the Upper Three Sects in the past were probably only of this level. However, I still felt it was too low for me. After all, I have Second Martial Soul. If I don't get a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice.
This time, after absorbing the 80,000-year-old Golden Lion King Soul Ring, my Soul Power increased by three levels, and I'm now at level sixty-three, which is barely acceptable.
Yang Podi's next Soul Ring target is 100,000 years; he's even pretty much figured out his target.
After absorbing the Sixth Soul Ring, the Soul Breaking Spear seemed to have undergone a significant change. Although the spear body was still black, the spearhead had changed from its original silver-white color to a hint of gold, and the spearhead also seemed to be much sharper, perhaps due to the Golden Lion King's metal-elemental characteristics.
Yang Podi even felt that if he absorbed two more metal-attribute Soul Beast, his Martial Soul could evolve into the Ultimate Metal. Unfortunately, this type of Soul Beast was extremely rare, and it seemed that only Xiong Jun possessed the Ultimate Metal attribute.
The weight of the Soul Breaking Spear itself has also increased significantly. It originally weighed two thousand jin when it absorbed the Fifth Soul Ring, but now, I estimate it has probably reached around four thousand jin. I don't know if it's due to the increase in the metal attribute or the increase in the strength attribute.
Although the Soul Breaking Spear is much heavier now, it's still relatively easy to use, and he has greatly improved by absorbing the power of this top-grade Soul Ring. Yang Podi even feels that, in terms of strength alone, he is no weaker than Soul Douluo.
This time, he also obtained a very good Soul Skill, which is called: Golden Lion Heaven-Roaring Break Soul Skill.
During the use of the Soul Skill, a golden light emanates from the Soul Breaking Spear, piercing directly at the opponent like a desperate strike from the Golden Lion King. It ignores defense and is accompanied by the roar of a golden lion, capable of breaking through the enemy's additional attributes. The specific power is determined by the amount of Soul Power used.
Yang Podi felt that this move was not simple, and it seemed to be developing towards the Ultimate Metal. If his Soul Breaking Spear really evolved into the Ultimate Metal, this move could probably reach the realm of breaking through nothing, which would be incredibly powerful.
Moreover, there are other surprises after absorbing the Soul Ring.
Both of his External Soul Bone seem to have undergone significant evolution. Among them, the Tiger Eagle Wings should have exceeded 50,000 years in age, and its flight speed will become faster. According to Yang Podi's estimation, its Extreme Speed speed effect should be much faster than that of Soul Douluo. It's just unknown whether it can surpass that of Titled Douluo.
The Crocodile King Spear Soul Bone at the tail, has also reached the 30,000-year level. It seems to be even sharper, although its length is still about three meters. However, its hardness has been greatly improved. Even if it is used as a whip, it probably won't be so easy to break through.
The biggest surprise was the change in the Martial Soul. After absorbing this Soul Ring, when looking into his mind, the silver giant in his mind seemed to have grown much larger, and there were even Sisi golden patterns on the silver giant's body.
Given this situation, if he could absorb two more Soul Ring from 100,000-year-old gold-type Soul Beast, he might have a chance to awaken his Body Martial Soul spirit at the Gold-Grade Awakening. However, there are very few 100,000-year-old gold-type Soul Beast left in the entire Douluo Continent.
After resting at home for one night, Yang Podi returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Yang Podi always carries Aura-Concealing Grass with him, so very few people can tell his exact Soul Power Level. At least, it's impossible to tell below the Titled Douluo level, and even among ordinary Titled Douluo, it would probably be the mental type that can tell.
After Yang Podi returned to the academy, a strange thing seemed to happen in the group; everyone seemed a little absent-minded.
After some investigation, Yang Podi realized that a lot had happened during this period.
The first thing is that, for some unknown reason, Tai Long actually had a conflict with Tang San, just like in the original story.
As a result, Tai Long, whose Soul Power had reached Soul Elder thirty-nine, was about to enter the Soul Ancestor realm, was actually defeated by Tang San, whose Soul Power was lower than his.
Originally, a small win or loss wouldn't have been a problem, but for some reason, news of Tai Long being beaten reached his father Tai Nuo's ears. As a result, Tai Nuo came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cause trouble for Tang San, but was instead taught a lesson by Tang San.
Ultimately, a situation arose where the younger one was beaten, and the older one stepped in to take charge. Tai Tan actually came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and wanted to teach Tang San a lesson. However, under a barrage of gravity suppression, he forced Tang San's Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, to emerge.
When Tai Tan saw Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, he was moved to tears. He then had a private talk with Tang San, and the final result was that Tai Tan asked Tai Long to recognize Tang San as his young master.
This melodramatic plot, seemingly mirroring the original story, has left everyone in the team in a state of panic, especially Tai Long himself, unsure whether he should heed his grandfather's advice.
If Tai Long truly acknowledges Tang San as his young master, how will his other brothers and friends view him? Will other members also be pressured by their parents to acknowledge Tang San as their young master?
In short, the team is in a mess right now. The members of the Four Single-Attribute Clans have mixed feelings, but Yang Ping'an and Yang Tianyue don't care at all. Their eldest brother is the backbone, and they just need to do everything according to his instructions. As for Tang San, who cares about him?
The second matter was that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also visited Tang San, mainly to discuss the purchase of Hidden Weapon. After some communication, the two sides decided that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be responsible for crafting various parts, and Tang San would be responsible for assembling them. Moreover, they were quite valuable, with each set costing as much as 10,000 gold coins. Ning Fengzhi was very generous and gave 5 million Gold Soul Coin at once, directly ordering 500 sets.
It's unclear whether Ning Fengzhi also knew that Tang San's Second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, but he trusted Tang San greatly and clearly stated that he would fully support Tang San.
Thirdly, Yu Xiaogang once again raised the issue of wanting to become the leader of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team, and that he would lead Tang San and the others to join the second team. However, there is still no news on the specifics, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has not yet responded. But this matter has received the support of Ning Fengzhi. I wonder what that old fox is thinking.
Because of the impact of these three major events, the team is currently in a relatively chaotic state. Everyone is worried about the addition of an unknown figure like Yu Xiaogang as the leader of the second team.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, is quite cunning. He wants to squeeze Tang San and Yu Xiaogang into the scheme, which will make it difficult for the Four Single-Attribute Clans to sever ties with the Clear Sky Sect. In fact, it could be said that the Four Single-Attribute Clans will also be unable to sever ties with the Upper Three Sects.
The situation of the second team will be very complicated. The team members are direct descendants of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, plus members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. The team leader is the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect leader. No one would believe that they have no connection with the Upper Three Sects.
However, Ning Fengzhi overlooked two things. First, he was currently the leader and captain of the second team. If he didn't give the order, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be able to come, and even if he did, it wouldn't be of much use. If all else failed, they could simply part ways, since they weren't short of Soul Bone anyway.
The second matter is that only Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe can truly make the decision. The biggest surprise will be the true identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. I wonder if Xue Qinghe will push the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to hell in advance once he finds out.
As for the Strength Clan, someone will naturally deal with them when the time comes. What does all this have to do with me? As long as the Breaking Clan is divided up as soon as possible, we can sit back and watch the tigers fight.
If all else fails, the Breaking Clan can simply move away. I refuse to believe that once we move to Vast Sea City, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can still interfere with us.
What was most surprising was that Sword Douluo perfectly avoided Xiao Wu. Whether it was a coincidence or someone's arrangement, Yang Podi couldn't help but wonder if Tang Hao had also come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Sword Douluo would be attending the Soul Master Tournament, and it would be really interesting if he discovered that Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
