After returning to his dormitory, Yang Podi began to carefully recall the events of the day.
My statement today should be enough to keep Qian Renxue Qian Renxue in line for the time being; at least she shouldn't target me in the short term.
He had already made his position clear to Qian Renxue, so whether Qian Renxue was on the Spirit Hall's side or the Heaven Dou Empire's side, there was at least a buffer period.
As the representative of the "easy win" character in the original work, Prince Xue Beng was a playboy in the early stages, but later he simply said that he was faking it to protect himself and everything was fine. Yang Podi didn't want to tolerate him. How dare he try to make a move on his own sister? He would feel guilty if he didn't kill him, especially since Qian Renxue was a good sword.
Ning Fengzhi, the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, relying on the reputation of the so-called Upper Three Sects, actually intended to use his own family as cannon fodder, clearly harboring malicious intentions. Bone Douluo, on the other hand, seemed somewhat fearless, relying on his strength as Titled Douluo. Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble for them, but just wanted to quietly watch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffer. Now, he felt that he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't do something to retaliate.
As for how to retaliate, we still need to think about it. They have two Titled Douluo, plus Ning Fengzhi's assistance, and 4,000 Soul Master. We need to consider how to use the Spirit Hall as a powerful weapon.
Yu Xiaogang's attitude today really annoyed Yang Podi. How could a mere level 29 Soul Grandmaster have the confidence to talk to him like that? Could it be that he's relying on the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Even that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen has retreated into hiding, yet he still dares to jump around so wildly.
However, Yu Xiaogang is not easy to deal with, and he also has Bibi Dong behind him, so we need to plan this carefully.
Finally, there's Tang San, a mere Soul Elder. Isn't he just relying on his Titled Douluo father? And the fact that the Clear Sky Sect has six Titled Douluo? If the Clear Sky Sect 'Clear Sky Sect strength had been revealed earlier, they wouldn't have gotten away with it like in the original story.
Yang Podi has always looked down on the Clear Sky Sect. He hides away when he encounters difficulties and only survives because of Tang Chen's reputation. He also comes out to pick up the spoils on the battlefield and basically suffers no losses from beginning to end.
As for Tang San himself, without the Eight Spider Soul Bone and the Ice and Fire Body Tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, let's see how arrogant he can be in the future?
Throughout the original novel, Yang Podi always looked down on the Shrek Seven Devils, especially Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. It's unbelievable that such scoundrels could achieve so much later on.
What Yang Podi wants to confirm most right now is Tang Hao's location. Tang San took Xiao Wu to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he doesn't believe Tang Hao isn't following them. Otherwise, Xiao Wu could be exposed at any time, and then this 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone would be completely lost.
After considering how to deal with these people today, Yang Podi stopped thinking about it and continued his cultivation. Nothing was more important than improving his own strength.
However, in the following days, both Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei seemed to be acting strangely. They kept disappearing and showed little interest in cultivating their Soul Power. What could be causing this?
That morning, Yang Podi received a message from his family that a gathering of the four single-attribute clans would be held in five days, and the location of this gathering would be the Speed Clan.
Yang Podi sneered inwardly. This gathering was probably going to be interesting. He wondered how the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan would choose.
However, before Yang Podi could go to the party, there was a knock on the dormitory door. When Yang Podi opened the door, it was Dugu Bo had come into his dormitory.
Yang Podi invited Dugu Bo into the dormitory, looking at Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression. " Grandpa Dugu, what brings you to my dormitory today? Is something wrong?"
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a cold smile, " Little Monster, I heard you were bullied, so I came to check on you."
Yang Podi asked curiously, " Grandpa Dugu, don't you know my personality? No one at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy should be able to bully me, right?"
"I heard that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came to see you. What's wrong? Weren't you bullied by them?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle, " Grandpa Dugu, you're quite well-informed. But it's not so much bullying as just a slight dislike for them."
" Yu Xiaogang is just a Soul Grandmaster, yet he wants to be your team leader. Can you really tolerate this? If I had the temper, I'd just kill him."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. "This Yu Xiaogang is just a useless piece of trash with no real strength. He's just daydreaming. He's still Yu Yuanzhen's own son, so let's give him a little face."
" Little Monster, this isn't like you. With the current strength behind you, you shouldn't be afraid of either the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yang Podi shook his head. " Grandpa Dugu, if I wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang, do you think he could escape?"
"Haven't you thought about revenge? Do you want me to go with you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? At least to intimidate them and prevent them from having any improper thoughts."
Yang Podi shook his head again. "Revenge is of course necessary, but how many more good days do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have? That old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been hiding at home all this time. Do you think he dares to go out now? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is only trying to use my Breaking Clan to shield them from the disaster because they feel too much pressure."
"If I were to actually cause them trouble and expose my family's power, wouldn't that be exactly what they wanted?"
Dugu Bo thought about it carefully, "It's good that you have a plan. I also heard about a kid, I think he's Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, who's quite impolite too."
"You're talking about Tang San, right? He's no ordinary person; he has a very powerful background."
"How powerful can his connections be? At worst, we can just secretly kill him, and no one will know."
" Grandpa Dugu, I advise you not to make a move. Tang San is Tang Hao's son; Tang Hao might be secretly protecting him."
Dugu Bo seemed somewhat surprised. "Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo? I didn't expect him to dare to show up again, and his son even wants to participate in the Soul Master Competition. This is quite interesting."
"By the way, Grandpa Dugu, I've already spoken with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe today. I'd like to ask you to take on the role of vice-leader of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team."
Dugu Bo seemed a little annoyed. "You brat, I, Titled Douluo, am here as your deputy leader? Who is your leader?"
"Excuse me, I am the leader of the Heaven Dou Empire's second team. You are just lending your name; at least you've deterred some people from having any improper thoughts."
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment. "That's more like it. You Little Monster, you always cause me trouble."
The two chatted for a while longer before Dugu Bo left. Yang Podi watched Dugu Bo's departing figure and couldn't help but smile, "That old man Dugu Bo is quite interesting."
After returning to the Crown Prince's palace, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe spoke into the darkness, " Snake Lance, immediately investigate who Xue Beng has been associating with lately, especially his cronies. Also, simultaneously investigate any major moves by these people."
In the darkness, a man dressed in black bowed to Xue Qinghe: "Yes, young master."
In just one hour, Snake Lance Douluo returned, bringing with him a large amount of data.
Xue Qinghe carefully examined all the documents, his face turning pale. "Very good. My younger brother has been hiding his strength quite well. I never imagined he would have such power without me noticing. And my good uncle, it turns out he's been secretly supporting my brother all along."
Snake Lance Douluo quickly spoke up, "Young Master, should I eliminate these two people?"
Xue Qinghe was speechless. What kind of people were his subordinates? All of them were all brawn and no brains.
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment before finally speaking, "Inform Salas that I need to see him."
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo simply left in secret.
Xue Qinghe, meanwhile, was deep in thought. Yang Podi, that Xue Beng, only dared to covet his sister, Xue Beng, and wanted to use him to get rid of her. What methods would he devise to deal with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang?
Thinking about how he held her hand and even touched it again today, she couldn't help but blush. "That brat, how dare he take advantage of me again! I'll definitely chop his hand off someday."
Yang Podi still felt a bit strange. Logically speaking, Xue Qinghe already knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, and Tang Hao was his father's killer, yet he hadn't taken any action against Tang San.
In the original novel, Ning Fengzhi also took Tang San to see Xue Qinghe and revealed Tang San's identity. Xue Qinghe didn't seem to take any action from beginning to end. What exactly did this little angel mean? Did she perhaps want to win Tang San over?
Yang Podi sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Tang San was truly the chosen one, or if the villains in the Douluo Continent had simply become too stupid. As Tang Hao's son, Tang San participated in the Soul Master Tournament from beginning to end, yet the Spirit Hall didn't seem to care about him. Neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Renxue seemed to notice Tang San at all, and even when Tang San revealed his Twin Martial Souls, they didn't take any action.
Bibi Dong's only so-called assassination attempt involved sending Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, while the opposing side clearly had Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo. It was practically suicide.
However, Yang Podi had no time to worry about that. The gathering of the Four Single-Attribute Clans was about to begin, and according to Yang Podi's own guess, this was probably the last gathering.
Judging from Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei's current attitudes, Tang San has clearly recognized Tai Tan, and may even have recognized Bai He. Now it depends on their choices. If they choose Tang San, then they can't blame me for showing no mercy.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the original story, the Speed Clan fled to the Star Luo Empire, suffering even greater losses, but they still followed Tang San. Now, their lives are much better than in the original story, so their ambitions are probably even greater. Who wouldn't want to recreate the glory of the Clear Sky Sect back then?
