At this moment, Yang Podi was alone at home. He took out the priceless Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, seemingly reluctant, but ultimately resisted the temptation and did not choose to absorb it.
The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone is indeed excellent, but for Yang Podi, it seems rather useless. Yang Podi possesses Second Martial Soul, and he should not lack such top-grade Soul Bone in the later stages of his life.
The two Soul Skill of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone are relatively disappointing. One is a flight skill, which is useless to Yang Podi. No matter how much flight is possible with a leg Soul Bone, it will be much slower than wings.
As for the other Soul Skill, "Wildfire cannot be extinguished, spring breeze brings it back to life," it is indeed very practical and sounds quite good, but for Silver-Level Awakening with its entire Body Martial Soul, the energy recovery is terrifying, so it feels completely unnecessary to waste such a valuable Soul Bone.
In Yang Podi's view, for the legs, it is best to choose a speed-type Soul Bone, which can not only make up for some of his shortcomings, but also increase his strength.
After much deliberation, Yang Podi decided to hide the Soul Bone in a secret room in his own room, and even hid it separately using a Soul Tool.
This Soul Bone is far too valuable, and the implications are too great. If Tang Hao discovers it, it will truly be a fight to the death. Neither I nor the Breaking Clan want to confront Tang Hao directly for the time being.
The most suitable person for this Soul Bone should be Ye Lingling. Her Martial Soul soul is the Nine Heart Begonia, and she is also a plant-type Soul Master. It will greatly enhance her healing ability and may even give her a life-saving flying skill, making it perfect.
The next morning, everyone returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and according to Yang Podi's own plan, it was time to prepare for the next round of training.
When everyone had gathered, both teachers seemed quite puzzled as they couldn't see Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei.
Yang Podi looked at the two teachers and Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the other two, and said directly, " Teacher Li Xiang, Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei have already left the second team. Don't worry about their affairs anymore. I'll figure out a way to deal with the team members."
Teacher Li Xiang still felt it was a bit of a pity. "It's a bit of a pity for these two. They're about to become Soul Ancestor, especially Bai Xiaofei, who is the only Flying-type Soul Master and the only Agility Attack System Soul Master among all of us."
" Teacher Li Xiang, you can rest assured. Although both Yang Ping'an and I are Power Attack System Soul Master, our speed is not slow at all, and we can also act as Agility Attack System Soul Master."
The current second team only has Yang Podi, Yang Ping'an, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yang Tianyue, and Niu Meng, a total of six people, which is one less than the seven participants. Moreover, Yang Podi himself has no intention of participating in the preliminary and qualifying rounds, so two more people are needed.
As for the two's strength, Yang Podi didn't have any concerns. Even if he didn't participate, Yang Ping'an, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling would be able to handle it without any pressure. Besides, the preliminaries were the best opportunity to train everyone, allowing each person to participate in more Soul Fighting Battle matches, which would be a great way to accumulate experience.
Yang Podi turned to Niu Meng beside him and asked, "Does your Defense Clan have any Soul Ancestor or Soul Elder under the age of twenty-five?"
Niu Meng thought carefully for a moment, "I have a cousin who is twenty-two years old this year, but he is only at level thirty-five."
"22 years old, level 35? Barely enough. Talk to your grandfather and tell him to report to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow."
Yang Podi thought for a moment, then turned to Yang Tianyue and Yang Ping'an beside him and said, "I remember that the grandson of our Breaking Clan's third elder is also twenty-two years old and at level thirty-five. I'm not mistaken, am I?"
Yang Tianyue, having spent a long time within the family, was more familiar with her peers than Yang Podi: "Brother, the Third Elder's grandson is indeed twenty-two years old and at level thirty-six. Do you want to invite him over?"
"Alright, he's the one. Tell him to come tomorrow too."
Teacher Li Xiang, however, spoke with some doubt, " Podi, normally a team can choose four substitutes in addition to seven main players. Even if we add these two, there are only eight people. Do we need to add some more?"
" The Heaven Dou Royal Academy has quite a few high-level Soul Elder in its Heaven Dou Grade classes, including Support System, Agility Attack System, and even Control System. Should we add a few more? That would improve our tactics."
Yang Podi shook his head. "I hope everyone participates in as many matches as possible, both in the preliminary rounds and the qualifying rounds. This will help you gain experience."
"Besides, with Ye Lingling on our team, plus Teacher An Ya, we can definitely handle this level of intensity in the Soul Fighting Battle competition."
Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something, and then spoke to Teacher Li Xiang again, " Teacher Li Xiang, once the two of them arrive tomorrow, we will immediately begin the next phase of training."
Teacher Li Xiang seemed a little surprised. "The next phase of training? How do you plan to train them?"
"Life and death trials have taken their toll. Ordinary training is no longer effective for them, and even meditation isn't as efficient. I plan to take everyone to Sunset Forest for further training."
Teacher Li Xiang was very surprised after hearing this. "They are only Soul Ancestor now. Isn't it too dangerous for them to go to Sunset Forest? I think we can let everyone participate in more Soul Fighting Battle Competitions. That would be a good way for them to gain experience."
Yang Podi shook his head. " The Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena doesn't have many high-level Soul Ancestor Master teams, and even if we win, it won't be very beneficial for our training. It would be better to take everyone to Sunset Forest, where they can see blood and experience life-or-death battles, and also develop teamwork and trust among teammates."
Teacher Li Xiang was still a little worried. "I always feel that Sunset Forest is too dangerous. It would be troublesome if something happened."
" Teacher Li Xiang, you don't need to worry about the dangers of this training at all. You and Teacher An Ya just need to accompany us. I will arrange for someone to protect us secretly."
Teacher Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that someone was secretly protecting him.
The next day, two members of the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to report for duty. In fact, according to their age, both of them were already twenty-two years old and could basically graduate. However, both of them were completely bewildered as they had been sent to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by their elders.
Because Teacher Li Xiang had given prior notice, the two students enrolled very easily without any obstacles.
After enrolling, the two went directly to Training Ground No. 3 and joined all the team members.
The member of the Breaking Clan is named Yang Yuxuan. He is the grandson of the Third Elder, Yang Wuju. His Martial Soul- Soul Breaking Spear. He is 22 years old and his Soul Power is level 35.
The member of the Defense Clan is named Niu Kui, the grandson of an elder of the Defense Clan. His Martial Soul Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros. He is 22 years old and Soul Power of level 35. Niu Kui looks very tall, standing at a full 2.2 meters. He has very well-developed muscles and looks somewhat like a middle-aged man.
Yang Podi, " Yang Yuxuan, Niu Kui, welcome to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team. Our purpose in forming this team is simple: to win the Soul Master Tournament next year. These next few days, you'll train with Tianyue to get used to the training conditions of our second team. Five days later, we'll go to Sunset Forest for further training."
After that, there wasn't much communication with the two of them. Yang Yuxuan followed Yang Ping'an, Niu Kui followed Niu Meng, letting them familiarize themselves with the environment of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and get used to the training intensity of the second team.
Yang Podi also asked Dugu Yan to invite Dugu Bo over. The second team was going to Sunset Forest for training, and it would be best to have someone who could keep order and protect them secretly. After thinking it over carefully, he still felt that Dugu Bo was more suitable. After all, he was Titled Douluo. With him there, if they encountered any sneak attacks, they could deal with them immediately.
The happiest people at this moment were probably Yu Xiaogang's team. After Bai Xiaofei and Tai Long left the second team, they directly joined the first team.
The team now has sixteen members, including the original seven, plus the seven Shrek members, and now there are two more Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei, making it a very good number.
Moreover, with the addition of these two, their strength can be said to have increased significantly. Based on the development of personnel, it is estimated that there will be only three Soul Ancestor, namely Yu Tianheng, Ning Heng, and Dai Mubai, by next year's Soul Master Tournament. Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei are already at the peak of level 39, and they will probably become Soul Ancestor soon. Then the team will have at least five Soul Ancestor.
With Tang San and his group working hard to cultivate, they might be able to assemble a full lineup of Soul Ancestor.
That afternoon, Yang Podi was preparing for his upcoming training when his Teacher Li Xiang, came to inform him that His Highness the Crown Prince summoned him.
Yang Podi was speechless. What was this little angel up to? Why did he keep coming to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Didn't he have anything else to do?
However, when Yang Podi arrived at the Education Commission, he was immediately speechless.
Besides Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the three Education Committee members were also present, along with Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang. Judging from Yu Xiaogang's expression, he seemed quite spirited. Surprisingly, a beautiful middle-aged woman was sitting next to Yu Xiaogang. According to the original novel, this should be Liu Erlong.
Yang Podi was puzzled. How did Liu Erlong end up at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Wasn't he the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy?
Yang Podi ignored Yu Xiaogang and his group, bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and the others, and then sat down alone.
"Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here?"
Xue Qinghe seemed to be smiling, "It's nothing serious. I heard that something happened to your Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team, so I came to find out."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's amused expression, Yang Podi simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The second team did indeed have a minor incident, but it's resolved now and will absolutely not affect the Soul Master Tournament."
"But I heard that two of your excellent team members left the second team. I'm worried that this will affect your performance in the Soul Master Tournament."
"It's just that two players left the second team for personal reasons, but we've already added new members, so our strength will be relatively stronger."
Xue Qinghe seemed a little unwilling to give up. "But I heard that the two team members who left are about to reach the Soul Ancestor, and the one you added is just an ordinary Soul Elder. I'm afraid that their strength will decrease, making the Soul Master Tournament even more difficult."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. This little angel was clearly trying to stir up trouble. "Your Highness, you are mistaken. The difference between Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder is not as great as you might think. When I was Soul Elder, I defeated Soul Ancestor. I think the current personnel configuration is even more perfect, and the strength is even more formidable. We'll see the specific results during the Soul Master Tournament."
