While Yang Podi and his companions were discussing how to deal with the Evil Spirit Orca, many other things were happening on the Douluo Continent.
It has been three and a half years since the Soul Master Tournament ended.
After two and a half years, Tang San finally met Tang Hao's requirements and was able to perform all eighty-one strikes of the Clear Sky Hammer Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. His Soul Power also reached level 56, an increase of eleven levels compared to the Soul Master Tournament. Tang San was only seventeen years old at the time, and his Soul Power Level was much higher than in the original novel. It should be noted that in the original novel, Tang San was only level 60 at the age of nineteen.
However, he mastered the Clear Sky Hammer technique six months later than in the original story.
Tang Hao was quite satisfied with Tang San's progress, but still felt that Tang San had some shortcomings. He decided to take Tang San to the Slaughter City, which would also make it easier for him to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
After some maneuvering, Tang San finally arrived at the Slaughter City. However, the Slaughter City at this time was very different from the original story. The number of people was much smaller than in the original story. In fact, it could be said that there were hardly any people in the entire Slaughter City. In particular, the Hell Slaughter Arena in the center was almost impossible to operate, since nine people would die every time.
To help Yang Podi open the Hell Slaughter Road, the King of Slaughter sacrificed most of the people in Slaughter City. Under normal circumstances, it would take decades to recover to its original state.
Although Tang San is incredibly strong, especially with his endless array of killing techniques, no one participates in the Hell Slaughter Arena, so no matter how powerful he is, it won't make a difference.
Tang San himself did not encounter Hu Liena in the Slaughter City. Hu Liena had come to the Slaughter City a year and a half ago, but there were even fewer people in the Slaughter City at that time. According to the estimates of the people at that time, it would take at least seven or eight years to complete the 100-win challenge in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong had a friendly discussion with the King of Slaughter and eventually left the Slaughter City with Hu Liena.
When Tang Hao entered the Slaughter City, he found that Tang San's training progress was much slower than expected. This was not a matter of strength, but rather because no one was giving Tang San a chance to compete in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
After seeing the situation in the Slaughter City, Tang Hao went directly to the King of Slaughter.
Tang Hao looked at the King of Slaughter with a puzzled expression. " King of Slaughter, what's going on in Slaughter City? Why are there so few people here?"
The King of Slaughter wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and said, "You're God of Slaughter has walked the Hell Road; you should know better how this situation came about."
Tang Hao's expression turned serious. "A God of Slaughter City of God of Slaughter a few years ago? How come I've never heard of anyone obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain?"
The King of Slaughter began with a half-smile, " The God of Slaughter, the one who obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain, is actually an acquaintance of your Clear Sky Sect. I can't believe you didn't even notice that."
Tang Hao's expression changed drastically in an instant. "Who exactly obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain? Is it someone from the Spirit Hall?"
The King of Slaughter shook his head. "You are from the Po Clan, a former affiliated family of the Breaking Clan Clear Sky Sect, but it seems you are enemies now."
Tang Hao suddenly thought of someone, and his expression changed again, but he finally asked, "How long will it take to open the Hell Road next time?"
"You know how to open the Hell Road, but given the current situation, it will take at least five years. I'm afraid you can't wait that long."
Tang Hao thought it over carefully. Rather than letting Tang San waste time here, it would be better for him to go out and cultivate first. At worst, he could come back to the Slaughter City in five years, at which time he would be more confident.
After Tang Hao's final battle with the King of Slaughter, he took Tang San away from the Slaughter City and arranged for Tang San to undergo new training.
Tang San missed out on the Divine Slaughter's Domain and his chance to meet Hu Liena during his trip to the City of Slaughter City, which was quite a loss.
It's important to understand that if Hu Liena hadn't gone through a life-and-death experience with Tang San Tang San the Slaughter City, how could she have been deceived by him time and time again? In terms of ruthlessness, Hu Liena is no less ruthless than Bibi Dong.
Moreover, Tang San did not undergo the Second Awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor, and his appearance did not change at all, making it very difficult for him to deceive Hu Liena or anyone else.
After leaving Slaughter City, Tang San trained diligently again and finally reached level 60 in Soul Power a year later. This was about a year and a half faster than in the original story. Perhaps it was due to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, or perhaps it was because he didn't waste time learning about Slaughter and etiquette at the Moonlight Pavilion in Slaughter City.
However, the lack of these two studies also brought about significant changes in Tang San.
First of all, Tang San lacks the crucial Divine Slaughter's Domain, and he also lacks the Blue Silver Domain after the Blue Silver Emperor's Second Awakening. It's likely that he will find it difficult to create any domains in the future, at least not before becoming Titled Douluo.
Secondly, without Moonlight Pavilion's etiquette training, Tang San San's mental state would be worse, and he would become more extreme and biased.
When Tang San reached level 60, he couldn't wait to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu. After Tang San and Xiao Wu met, they both burst into tears, telling each other about the various situations that had occurred since they were separated and how much they missed each other.
With Xiao Wu's help, Tang San still followed Yu Xiaogang's plan and obtained a 25,000-year-old Soul Ring. The Soul Ring he chose was from a venomous snake Soul Beast, a very powerful Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
After absorbing this Soul Ring, Tang San's control was strengthened again, especially the poison attribute of the Blue Silver Grass, which became extremely powerful, difficult for even Soul Emperor to resist. If this trend continues, Tang San may surpass Dugu Bo and become the strongest Control System poison Soul Master, and even the Blue Silver Grass may have a tendency to transform into a poison attribute.
Moreover, Tang San himself was born into the Tang Sect and had extensive knowledge of poisons, and he also enjoyed using them, which can be considered one of his favorite things.
Even more surprisingly, this 25,000-year-old Jade Spirit Serpent actually produced a Right Arm Soul Bone. Due to Tang Hao's warning, Tang San did not absorb it, but simply put it away for later disposal. After all, Soul Bone with a lifespan of 25,000 years is simply too low.
According to Tang Hao's next plan, he intended to send Tang San back to the Clear Sky Sect. However, Tang Hao still hadn't made up his mind to cut off his right hand and right leg. It was unclear what he was worried about, perhaps because Tang San and Ah Yin still needed him to protect them.
As for the Tang Sect now, Tang San himself has given up hope. Due to the widespread dissemination of Hidden Weapon blueprints, the Tang Sect has found it difficult to receive orders for Hidden Weapon. Moreover, after losing his right hand, Tai Tan no longer possesses the strength of a master craftsman and cannot forge those high-level Hidden Weapon. With the current number of people in the Tang Sect, they can only barely survive.
Heavenly Pursuit Academy has also developed significantly in recent years, with a total number of teachers and students exceeding two thousand. This includes about four thousand four hundred people from the original four major families, plus students recruited for three consecutive years. However, the Soul Power Level of these students is generally low, and there are relatively few Soul Grandmaster. But a very small number of elite disciples have been recruited into various families, and they have tasted a little bit of success.
The senior management of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy has remained largely unchanged. Yang Wudi and Niu Gao have remained at Level 92, but Dugu Bo unexpectedly broke through to level 93, which is a rare little surprise.
Yang Wushuang, who had been cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, actually broke through to level 93, leaving Yang Wudi speechless.
The one who improved the most was Niu Jinfeng, Soul Power actually reached Level 94, making her the second strongest Soul Power expert in the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy. This time, it was Niu Gao's turn to be speechless.
Yang Wudi and Niu Gao looked at each other in dismay. They had been clan leaders for decades, yet they had been surpassed by their own daughter and brother, respectively. It was quite embarrassing. As for Yang Zhentian, he was diligently cultivating in seclusion and was currently at the peak of Level 96. He wondered if there was any hope of breaking through to Level 97.
For a time, all the higher-ups of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy were a bit excited, and everyone wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate, especially after condensing their Soul Core, as they seemed to see hope for future advancement.
Niu Gao, in particular, wanted to urge Niu Jinfeng to have another child, and at the same time, he strongly urged his son Niu Mang to cultivate, hoping that the family would produce another Titled Douluo.
The entire upper echelons of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy were in an extremely strange environment, with all the elders in seclusion cultivating. Even Dugu Bo shook his head when he saw everyone, so he had no choice but to try to urge his son, Dugu Xin, to cultivate diligently.
On Sea God Island, after hearing Yang Podi that the Soul Beast race was just an ordinary primitive tribe, Xiao Bai couldn't help but fly into a rage. "How dare you say that about our Soul Beast race? In terms of combat strength, our Soul Beast race is by no means weak!"
Yang Podi simply shook his head. " Xiao Bai, tell me, between Soul Beast clans and Soul Master families of equal strength, which would be stronger?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was speechless. There was no need for comparison; if the two sides were to fight each other, the Soul Beast Clan would undoubtedly be defeated.
Yang Podi continued, "The advantage of Soul Beast clans lies in their superior physical strength and greater unity. However, Soul Master families possess many other advantages, such as the inheritance of family knowledge, and the ability for humans to continuously improve through learning. Take our Breaking Clan, for example; besides inheriting our Martial Soul, we also have inherited spear techniques and alchemy knowledge, and even various networks of connections. These are all things that Soul Beast clans cannot match."
Yang Ping'an, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and asked with some doubt, "Big brother, according to your idea, are you planning to use poison to deal with the Evil Spirit Orca pod?"
Yang Podi nodded. " The Evil Spirit Orca bloodthirsty and brutal, and their physical strength is extremely formidable. This is their greatest advantage, but it is also their greatest disadvantage."
"Bloodlust and brutality mean they are difficult to control. If we use drugs to amplify their bloodlust and brutality, they will just be a bunch of madmen. Killing a bunch of madmen is not that complicated. We don't even need to attack them; they will kill each other."
After saying that, Yang Podi took out Bloody Mary and Seven-Colored Splendor from his body. Bloody Mary is the greatest nemesis of the Evil Spirit Orca.
