Yang Podi and Sword Douluo rested on the spot for a while and soon recovered.
Sword Douluo shook his head as he looked at Yang Podi's condition. "As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. I never imagined that you would have such outstanding physical abilities at such a young age. I'm afraid that within ten years, no one in the world will be your match."
Yang Podi shook his head. "Senior Sword Douluo, you flatter me. I'm still far from being worthy of your praise."
Sword Douluo thought for a moment before speaking, " Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring should have two Soul Skill, right? Would your other Soul Skill be even more powerful?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "More or less, but my other Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill is a single-target attack."
Sword Douluo's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, clearly understanding the meaning behind Yang Podi's words.
The five of them then drank some tea together and chatted for a few more minutes before Yang Podi left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As for the rest, no one said anything; smart people don't need to spell it out so clearly.
After Yang Podi left, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were together again, but all three of them seemed to have a much more somber expression.
Ning Fengzhi finally spoke, " Uncle Jian, what did you think of that battle just now?"
Sword Douluo shook his head. "In the battle just now, Yang Podi and I both displayed a lot of strength, but we should both have held back. At least Yang Podi didn't use his Tool Soul Avatar. A Tool Soul Avatar 100,000 years would probably be more powerful than we imagined."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment before speaking, " Uncle Jian, how do you think Yang Podi managed to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring with only his Seventh Soul Ring ring? A normal person's physical abilities shouldn't be able to reach that level. Even with Eighth Soul Ring, absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is unimaginable."
Bone Douluo, standing to the side, seemed somewhat conflicted. " Fengzhi, Sword Man, why didn't we keep Yang Podi here? The three of us could have done it."
Sword Douluo shook his head. "He can't be kept. Don't forget, he still has a pair of wings he hasn't used yet. Moreover, when he dodged my ' Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect just now, he probably used Soul Bone Skill, and a spatial Soul Bone Skill at that. Old Bones, you should have sensed that."
After thinking carefully for a while, Bone Douluo spoke, "It is indeed a space-type Soul Bone Skill. I'm afraid this Soul Bone is of very high age."
"But why did Yang Podi accept the Old Sword Man's challenge? He could have easily ignored it or even just walked away."
Sword Douluo's expression was somewhat solemn. "There are mainly two aspects. First, Yang Podi himself is probably close to reaching a bottleneck. Through sparring with me, he will improve his cultivation level. Don't forget, he was only level 67 during the Soul Master Tournament, but he has risen to level 84 in a short period of time. Although his Soul Power can be improved with rare and precious materials, his combat power may not keep up."
" Yang Podi's travels throughout the world are probably also aimed at consolidating his cultivation level and improving his mental state."
"On the other hand, he probably wanted to demonstrate his strength. That battle just now basically proved that he has the combat strength of a Title Titled Douluo. Although I was able to defeat him, I couldn't stop him. It can also be seen as a way of telling us not to casually attack his family members."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, "Won't Yang Podi any hostility towards our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future? And why does he still want to go to Spirit City? Isn't he afraid that the Spirit Hall will keep him here?"
Sword Douluo shook his head. "Ordinary Titled Douluo couldn't possibly stop him, and that old guy from the Spirit Hall wouldn't stoop to dealing with a mere child. Besides, this Yang Podi has never shown any hostility towards any force."
" Fengzhi, I've also gained some insights from this battle. I might be planning to go into seclusion for a while. I'll leave the sect's affairs to you and Old Bones."
Ning Fengzhi seemed pleasantly surprised. " Uncle Jian, are you about to break through?"
Sword Douluo shook his head. "I'm still far from breaking through. I've only gained some insight into swordsmanship after witnessing Yang Podi's fighting style. That kid Yang Podi absorbed all the power-type Soul Ring, and his Soul Breaking Spear is terrifyingly heavy, and it's also incredibly sharp at the same time. It's unheard of."
Bone Douluo seemed a little puzzled. "How is this possible? Didn't this kid absorb all the power-type Soul Ring?"
"So I'm also very curious, unless his two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring are quite extraordinary."
Meanwhile, Yang Podi led the black horse away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Although he suffered some minor injuries in this battle, he will recover quickly. In particular, he gained some insights from fighting against a master like Sword Douluo, and his spear technique and use of Soul Power have become more refined.
In fact, Yang Podi could have avoided this battle, but after thinking it over, he felt it was better to fight. On the one hand, he really needed to fight against experts from all walks of life in order to truly improve himself. Sword Douluo lived up to his reputation as the number one attack Douluo on the continent, and his use of Tool Martial Soul was unparalleled. He could learn a lot from the fight.
On the other hand, he also wanted to make a deterrent, since he would be going to Sea God Island for at least four years, to prevent some people from revealing any ulterior motives.
The journey continued with frequent stops and starts. Sometimes he led his horse slowly, and sometimes he galloped wildly. He mostly traveled through the forest, drinking mountain spring water when thirsty and hunting Soul Beast when hungry. He had fulfilled his little wish of traveling the world with just himself, his horse, and his spear.
It took more than a month to finally arrive in Star Luo City.
Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City are completely different. Perhaps because the royal family is relatively weak, Heaven Dou City is more inclusive, with various forces intertwined. Basically, every major sect has a considerable number of people in Heaven Dou City.
Star Luo City, on the other hand, seems to be much more strict, with discipline and people being much more disciplined. It has a strong militaristic feel to it, relying on its army and strength to intimidate the world. It is no wonder that even the Spirit Hall is wary of it.
Yang Podi even saw the Star Luo Emperor and Empress traveling together. It can only be said that the Star Luo Emperor truly deserves to be a regional overlord and Titled Douluo with the White Tiger Martial Soul. He is indeed full of domineering power.
After leaving Star Luo City, Yang Podi headed towards Spirit City.
After another month of stopping and starting, we finally arrived at Spirit City.
Seeing Spirit City again, I felt an inexplicable sense of majesty. It truly deserves to be called the holy land of Soul Master. This feeling is even more profound now that I have advanced two realms.
Bathed in the unique light of Spirit City, I felt much more relaxed and happy.
After entering Spirit City, Yang Podi went straight to Chrysanthemum Douluo's house, since Chrysanthemum Douluo was the only person he was relatively familiar with in Spirit City, and he had a fairly good impression of Chrysanthemum Douluo.
When Yang Podi arrived at Chrysanthemum Douluo's house, he had just knocked on the door when a feminine voice came from inside. "Who is it, knocking on the door in broad daylight? Don't you know I'm recuperating from my injuries?"
However, when they opened the door, they were both startled.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was actually wearing a very feminine outfit, clearly letting loose at home. His attire made people wonder if he was even male or female.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also extremely surprised to see Yang Podi: " Yang Podi? What are you doing in Spirit City? Don't you know we are a formidable enemy?"
Yang Podi looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo's attire and suppressed a laugh, "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I've recently been traveling the world and have come to Spirit City, so I've decided to stay here for a few days."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless for a moment. "You're not afraid at all. Aren't you afraid I'll report this to His Holiness the Pope and have you arrested?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm not an enemy of the Spirit Hall, so why is His Holiness the Pope arresting me?"
"But you stole the three Soul Bone that His Holiness the Pope was preparing to give to the Golden Generation. Now you are a major enemy of the Spirit Hall."
"You can't blame me for that. Besides, even if I didn't take it, didn't the Golden Generation lose to the Golden Generation Heaven Dou Team One? No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be their turn."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless upon hearing this, but still managed to say, "My injuries were inflicted by your grandfather and maternal grandfather; we are enemies."
Yang Podi took out a jade box and said with a half-smile, "It was just a battle, no one died. Besides, I was originally planning to let you appraise this thousand-year-old Purple Gold Orchid, but since you don't agree, forget it."
Before Yang Podi could finish speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo snatched the jade box and said defiantly, "I didn't let you in because of your thousand-year-old Purple Gold Orchid; it was only because you were all alone and had nowhere to stay."
A voice suddenly came from inside the room. " Old Chrysanthemum, who is it? I didn't expect someone to come and visit you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly interjected, "He's just a kid; he probably admires me."
When Yang Podi entered the room, he saw a person sitting on the sofa in the center of the room, none other than Ghost Douluo.
However, at this moment, Ghost Douluo was dressed casually, lying there without any proper posture, showing no trace of eeriness or Gui Mei, nor any of his usual majesty.
Yang Podi suppressed a smile and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Ghost Douluo."
Ghost Douluo was also a little surprised. "Aren't you that kid from the Breaking Clan? What brings you here to visit Old Chrysanthemum?"
Yang Podi quickly said, "I'm currently traveling the world and have just arrived in Spirit City, so I've come to pay my respects to Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."
Ghost Douluo simply said "Oh," and then continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, completely ignoring the issue, leaving Yang Podi speechless.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo, looking at the Purple Gold Orchid in the jade box, seemed to be all smiles. " Little Podi, where did you get this Purple Gold Orchid? It's truly excellent. I wish it could be ten thousand years old."
"I recently went to the Star Dou Great Forest Star Dou Great Forest and found it there."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless. How could you find so many good things in the Star Dou Great Forest? You said the same thing about that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum last time, and there was even a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower sprouting in the middle. Should I go and wander around the Star Dou Great Forest a few more times?
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo was still a little disappointed. "Why did you pick this thousand-year-old Purple Gold Orchid so early? If you had waited a few thousand more years, it would have grown into Immortal Herb."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. "I won't live for several thousand more years. Besides, if I don't pick it, someone else will. And if it grows for several thousand more years, it might become Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up. "You know about the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid? You don't happen to have one too, do you?"
Yang Podi quickly shook his head. "How is that possible? The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is a legendary Immortal Herb. How could I possibly possess Immortal Herb?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "You're not exactly short of Immortal Herb, are you?"
