Yang Podi had no time to deal with those insects at the moment. Rather than spending time thinking about them, he would rather cultivate as soon as possible and reach Level 99.
This is also why Yang Podi has always kept a relatively low profile. If he were truly stronger than Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi Di Tian, these insects wouldn't have a chance to come and whine.
However, Yang Podi also knew that when he reached Level 99, he would be an enemy of the world. No matter which force, they would never allow a Level 99 Limit Douluo to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. His original enemies might even unite to deal with him.
Yang Podi had already asked his grandfather to find out where there were fire-attribute Soul Beast over 90,000 years old in the Douluo Continent. After all, the number of fire-attribute Soul Beast in the original work was very small, and the strongest one was probably the inner core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. Unfortunately, he had already used up that inner core.
As for spirit- Soul Beast and water-type Soul Beast, they already have targets; all they need is to improve their strength a little more before they can make a move.
Yang Podi carefully reviewed his recent improvements in strength, wanting to roughly assess his true combat power.
Yang Podi is now at Level 98. Especially after acquiring the Yin-Yang Balance Dual Soul Cores, his cultivation speed has become even faster, and the speed and depth of his Soul Power recovery have become even more formidable.
After adding power-type Soul Ring over the years, Yang Podi's Soul Breaking Spear has reached 32,000 jin, a weight very close to that of the Angel Holy Sword. The name " Soul Breaking Spear" is no longer suitable. Yang Podi renamed the current Soul Breaking Spear " Atlas Spear," also referencing Yun Ming from the original work.
Whether it was fate or not, Yang Podi's Ninth Soul Skill, "Sky Support- Supporting," was the same one he used in his previous battle against Xiong Jun. If Di Tian hadn't intervened, Yang Podi was confident that he could have severely injured Xiong Jun, or even killed him.
Yang Podi's Ninth Soul Skill, the second one, " Sun Shooting," even has a name somewhat similar to Yun Ming's. He pours all his Soul Power into the Atlas Spear- Atlas Spear, which not only possesses the Ultimate Metal and Ultimate Strength, but also all the attributes of Yang Podi's other Soul Ring. It locks onto the enemy and shoots them down, just like Sun Shooting. Moreover, this Soul Skill has a locking effect, making it an ultimate single-target damage skill, truly a divine skill.
This is one of the reasons why Yang Podi has always pursued the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in his Soul Ring. If he could collect all five elements, the power of the Sky-Piercing Spear's Soul Skill, Atlas Spear Sun Shooting, would probably be even stronger, and it might even be able to counter Bibi Dong's Ninth Soul Skill: Undying Body.
Meanwhile, Yang Podi obtained three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone during his time in the Star Dou Great Forest, all of which are quite good.
Godly Taotie Bull Right Arm Soul Bone Skill 1: Godly Bull's Strength. When using this Soul Bone Skill, strength is increased several times and it has a large-area gravity suppression effect.
Godly Taotie Bull Right Arm Soul Bone Skill Two: Godly Bull Charge. When using this Soul Bone Skill, the right hand possesses infinite power, capable of shattering anything in front of it.
The Third Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul: Taotie Body Protection, which can transform into the Godly Taotie Bull, possessing ultimate defense.
The second of the Third Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul: Godly Bull Heaven-Shaking Strike, can transform into Godly Taotie Bull, attacking enemies in a wide range of damage, and the gravity within the attack range is controlled.
The Hell Leopard's Left Leg Soul Bone skill one: Extreme Speed. Using the Soul Bone Skill can increase speed by 500%, which is estimated to exceed the speed limit of human Soul Master.
The second skill of the Hell Leopard's Left Leg Soul Bone: Hell. When using this Soul Bone Skill, the body can merge into darkness, making it invincible in the night.
The Fourth Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul is: Hell Ghost Slash. It is somewhat similar to the Instant Body Strike, but it is faster and does not even produce Soul Power fluctuations. Its power is also very great, and it can attack continuously. It is indeed worthy of being Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill. Especially at night, it can almost transform into the Hell, and the consumption is minimal.
The second of the Fourth Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul: Hell Passage. It can transform into the Hell Passage any object, including the opponent's Soul Skill lock and block. In other words, when using Hell Passage, you can ignore the opponent's Soul Skill defense. Similarly, the power will be doubled at night.
Golden Scorpion Emperor's Left Arm Soul Bone Skill 1: Golden Scorpion's Pincer. The left hand can transform into the Golden Scorpion Emperor's claw, capable of crushing everything with a single grab.
Golden Scorpion Emperor's Left Arm Soul Bone Skill Two: Golden Scorpion Poison Stinger. The left hand can transform into the Golden Scorpion Emperor's tail stinger, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy, and the attack possesses the potent venom of a 200,000-year-old Golden Scorpion Emperor.
The Fifth Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul is: Golden Scorpion Emperor's Domain, which is somewhat similar to the Domain of Metal. However, it can cause extreme metal-type damage within a certain range of the body, and the damage range is extremely large. Within this Soul Skill's range, one is the master of the metal element.
The second of the Fifth Soul Skill of the Body Martial Soul: the Golden Scorpion Emperor's Wrath, which is the ultimate control of metal attribute within the range, and can destroy anything, especially the metal attribute energy of the opponent.
Yang Podi felt that these Soul Ring skills and Soul Bone Skill were very good. All the Soul Skill and Soul Bone Skill seemed to have inherited the original Soul Beast's strongest attributes, as well as their strongest attack and defense.
Especially the two leg Soul Bone, which combine the attributes of speed and space, and even the attribute of darkness, allow them to easily deal with even the strongest opponents. If they can't win, they can at least outrun their enemies.
As long as the opponent doesn't possess a top-tier spatial control-type Soul Skill, they can move freely in any situation.
Yang Podi couldn't help but think of Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's Eighth Soul Skill — Life and Death Are but a Dream. This was a rare domain-type skill. It could form a large protective shield. Once someone was protected by the shield, it was like entering a trap, and their attributes would decrease accordingly. Bibi Dong was the absolute ruler in this space. Moreover, if the opponent's attack hit the shield, the shield would reflect the attack back at the opponent from the front.
Bibi Dong's Soul Skill is top-notch; I wonder if my " Golden Scorpion Emperor's Domain " can break through Soul Skill.
However, Yang Podi has always preferred to use brute force to overcome all techniques and to pierce through everything with his spear. He could probably break through a mere domain Soul Skill with ease.
When Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe visited again, Yang Podi didn't want to pay much attention to them. He simply made an excuse that he was in seclusion, since Heavenly Pursuit Academy's stance had already been decided, and his grandfather should be able to handle it.
These two old foxes are two-faced. They smile and talk to you in public, but they might stab you in the back. Don't you see, Xue Qinghe calls Ning Fengzhi "Master" every day, and Ning Fengzhi has even taught Xue Qinghe quite a lot.
However, when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was attacked, the Spirit Hall members rushed thousands of miles without receiving any prior notice, which was completely strange, especially since they had to cross a large area of the Heaven Dou Empire. No one would believe that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe did not take action.
However, after they finished their cultivation that day, Yang Podi was instructing the five of them on their cultivation progress when Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared.
It should be noted that Yang Podi cultivates and lives on the mountaintop, while the normal reception area is located halfway up the mountain. The mountaintop is considered a top secret of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Yang Podi asked, somewhat puzzled, " Rongrong, how did you end up on the mountaintop?"
Ning Rongrong actually bowed properly. " Brother Yang, it's been a long time. I came mainly to see Sister Lengleng and Sister Yanyan. I won't disturb your cultivation."
Yang Podi looked at Ning Rongrong's expression with a bit of discomfort. " Rongrong, you seem to have matured a lot since then."
Ning Rongrong looked somewhat sad. "It's probably because too many things have happened recently. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has undergone a tremendous change. Grandpa Jian lost an arm, and the entire sect is gone. I've come to understand the hardships my father endured to maintain the sect."
" Brother Yang, can I ask you a question? Of course, you can answer if you can, and it's okay if you can't."
" Rongrong, you're being too polite. Just ask me whatever you have a question."
Ning Rongrong thought for a while before speaking, "Why do you all like to cultivate in such remote places? Why did you cultivate so hard before? Did you foresee what would happen?"
Yang Podi also became somewhat serious. "I did anticipate this, and I believe your father did as well, but he didn't expect things to happen so quickly, nor did he anticipate that things would be so serious."
"As for why I cultivate so diligently, and why I like this remote place, the answer is actually quite simple. In my eyes, all conflicts and interests are minor matters; family and friends are the most important."
"Throughout the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy, practically everyone is my family and my friend. I don't want any of them to die, so I cultivate diligently, hoping my abilities can protect everyone. Of course, this is also why I led my family away from the Heaven Dou region."
Ning Rongrong thought for a long time before speaking, " Brother Yang, perhaps you are right. During the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect battle, I lost many friends and relatives. Some of my uncles and even my best friends died. I was very sad and helpless at the time. Only then did I realize my lack of strength and understand why you cultivated so diligently."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, " Rongrong, it seems you've really grown up. I hope you'll become a qualified sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future."
Just as Yang Podi was about to leave, Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke again, " Brother Yang, can we become true friends?"
Yang Podi ignored Ning Rongrong's question and left alone, but everyone eventually heard three words: "Perhaps."
That evening, when Yang Podi and Ye Lingling were alone together, Ye Lingling seemed to become somewhat melancholy. " Podi, I feel that Rongrong has changed a lot. She's completely lost her innocent and adorable self. Now she seems to be burdened with worries and has become much quieter."
Yang Podi shook his head. "As the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong has enjoyed all the resources and glory, and naturally she also has her responsibilities. This war of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has made her understand the cruelty of the Soul Master World, and naturally it has also made her grow a lot."
Ye Lingling hesitated for a long time before speaking, " Podi, can you help Rongrong? I feel sorry for her just looking at her."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, " Lingling, the Spirit Hall's strength is beyond all our imagination. I'm not confident that I can defeat them right now. If we rashly help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, I'm afraid it will drag our Heavenly Pursuit Academy into the abyss."
"Based on the current trend, the Soul Master World will experience the greatest upheaval in ten thousand years, and countless sects will be wiped out. I only hope that our Heavenly Pursuit Academy can survive."
"Besides, Ning Fengzhi is the biggest smiling tiger in the entire Douluo Continent Douluo Continent, and also the biggest businessman. In his eyes, profit is above all else. I don't want to be stabbed in the back by them, or I might end up being eaten alive without even bones left."
Ye Lingling seemed a little puzzled. "Is the situation really that critical right now?"
Yang Podi's face was grave. "The situation is even more serious than I described. Neither Qian Daoliu nor Bibi Dong, the strongest members of the Spirit Hall, have made a move yet. Qian Daoliu is currently the strongest expert on the continent, and Bibi Dong's strength is not weak either. Moreover, the Spirit Hall possesses the inheritance of the Angel God."
"This upheaval in the Soul Master World will likely result in the death of more than half of all Soul Master, and countless ordinary people as well."
Ye Lingling's face filled with fear upon hearing this. "That's impossible."
Yang Podi looked at Ye Lingling with a pang of heartache. As a healing Soul Master, he truly disliked too much death.
