News of Yang Podi's battle against the Clear Sky Twin Stars spread rapidly throughout the Douluo Continent, with many different accounts of the details.
Some people say that Yang Podi is already the number one expert in the world. After all, Yang Podi almost killed Clear Sky Twin Stars with his own strength. In particular, his Soul Power of Level 98 and Soul Ring Configuration have attracted the attention of countless people. After all, there is no expert of this level traveling outside the entire Douluo Continent.
Some people also described in detail the reasons for the battle, especially the fact that Tang San the Clear Sky Sect was caught sneaking into the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, which was the fuse for the great battle. The reputation of the Clear Sky Sect seemed to have declined a lot, and people no longer worshipped the Clear Sky Sect as the number one sect in the world as before.
Many people say that Heavenly Pursuit Academy is now the true number one sect in the world. Heavenly Pursuit Academy not only has the top expert Yang Podi, but also four Titled Douluo, which has already crushed the former Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In short, there are various opinions, and different forces have different attitudes.
First, there was the Clear Sky Sect. After learning the reason for the outbreak of this war, the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect seemed extremely angry with Tang San. It was Tang San's reckless actions that led to Tang Xiao and Tang Hao being seriously injured, and even made the Clear Sky Sect a laughing stock of the world. However, the three elders did not take any measures because of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. However, Tang Lie seemed unable to help but make sarcastic remarks about Tang San, and the situation within the sect became a bit tense.
Furthermore, countless small and medium-sized forces have wanted to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, especially given the recent severe damage to the strength of the Upper Three Sects and the pervasive sense of insecurity within the Soul Master World. Heavenly Pursuit Academy seems to be a very good patron.
However, Heavenly Pursuit Academy refused all such offers. Even Dean Yang Wudi personally stated: Heavenly Pursuit Academy is just an ordinary Soul Master Academy. If any students want to enroll or any teachers want to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Heavenly Pursuit Academy Heavenly Pursuit Academy will welcome them. However, Heavenly Pursuit Academy has distanced itself from the struggles of the Soul Master World and will no longer agree to allow other sects to join.
Furthermore, neither students nor teachers who join Heavenly Pursuit Academy are allowed to participate in any battles within the Soul Master World, nor are they allowed to have any background in other sect conflicts; otherwise, they will not be accepted.
In short, to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, one can only serve as a teacher or student, and will have to live a life similar to seclusion.
Yang Wudi simply presented the thick set of academy rules to the teachers and students who came. As Soul Master, who wouldn't want to stand out and dominate the world? Asking them to live in seclusion would be more painful than killing them.
Even so, quite a few free Soul Master still joined Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and the number of students was even greater.
The biggest change between the current Douluo World and the original novel is the appearance of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Compared to the original story, the seven characters have undergone significant changes in both strength and other aspects, and this is not simply a matter of the Immortal Herb.
The one whose changes are relatively minor is Tang San. Tang San's current Soul Power is basically the same as in the original story, and he is currently at Level 66, which is not much different from when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself in the original story.
However, the difference in strength was significant. Tang San lacked the Divine Slaughter's Domain and the Martial Soul Second Awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Moreover, in the original work, he used three immortal Immortal Herb: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. It can be said that these three Immortal Herb laid the foundation for Tang San's ascension to godhood.
However, Tang San is currently only using the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which may increase his Soul Power more, but his physical fitness and Divine Power are much weaker. Tang San is currently staying in the Clear Sky Sect, preparing to go to Sea God Island for training.
Xiao Wu has changed the most. In the original story, she had already become Soul Ring, but now she only has the cultivation level of Soul Emperor.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have also changed a lot. They did not return to the Star Luo Empire, nor did they become the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. On the contrary, they are now only at the Soul King level, which can be regarded as the result of their many years of hard training.
The two can no longer return to the Star Luo Empire. After all, Dai Weisi has become the Crown Star Luo Empire and Zhu Zhuyun has become the Crown Princess. It can be said that there is no place for the two of them in the Star Luo Empire.
Perhaps due to some communication between Star Luo Emperor and Xue Ye, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing continued to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For now, they are just ordinary students, but it seems that they will become teachers at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the future, which can be considered as having a small backer.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar have changed the most. They've both fallen into the trap of romance and dated quite a few girlfriends at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It seems that after they graduate, they'll likely become the sons-in-law of some meritorious noble family.
Although Flender was strict with Ma Hongjun and Oscar, it was just ordinary training. As for their personal lives, that was related to their future development, and for ordinary Soul Master, this was perhaps the best way out.
Judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that either Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang from the original novel, or Oscar and Ning Rongrong, will have a chance.
Although Ma Hongjun still got to know Bai Chenxiang through Tang San, given Ma Hongjun's current reputation at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, despite his excellent Soul Power and talent, neither Bai He nor Bai Chenxiang seemed to think much of him.
Even in the original novel, it was only after undergoing trials on Sea God Island that Ma Hongjun won Bai Chenxiang's heart.
As for Oscar, although he still couldn't forget Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong was much more clear-headed than in the original story, and had seen far more geniuses. Why would she be interested in the philandering Oscar? Especially since Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi repeatedly tried to stop them, and Oscar was only Food System Soul Master, which further eliminated any possibility of the two being together.
Finally, there's Ning Rongrong. Although her strength has barely reached the Soul King realm, and she even has some combat power by practicing the Tang Sect's secret manuals that Yang Podi spread out, she is still just a support character.
Especially after the upheaval at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she seemed to have matured a lot, and really did resemble a little princess.
Besides the Shrek Seven Devils, the others also underwent various transformations.
On the day of the battle at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Yu Xiaogang watched from a distance. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but rather that his strength was simply too weak. In a battle of this level, he could easily become cannon fodder if he got close.
However, after watching the battle, he was very disappointed with the result. The Clear Sky Twin Stars, whom he had always admired, were actually defeated by Yang Podi and almost lost their lives.
He only truly breathed a sigh of relief when Clear Sky Twin Stars and Tang San were finally rescued.
But the news that followed was even more disappointing to him: Tang Hao lost an arm, Tang Xiao was seriously injured, the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect plummeted, the prestige of being the number one sect in the world was completely gone, and even Tang San became a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect in everyone's mouth.
Yu Xiaogang wanted to speak out and explain, but given his power and status, no one paid any attention to him.
Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed, people around him have become less respectful of Yu Xiaogang. Without the status of being the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's son, who would still fear a level 29 Soul Grandmaster like him?
If it weren't for Flender, Liu Erlong, and Qin Ming, the leader of Heaven Dou Team One would probably have been replaced long ago. You should know that among all the teachers in the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Xiaogang is the only exception.
When Yu Xiaogang learned that Tang San had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he himself rushed Clear Sky Sect as well.
However, the situation at the Clear Sky Sect disappointed him greatly. Tang San seemed to have become more ruthless and dejected, and his status in the Clear Sky Sect seemed to have declined considerably. Tang Hao, Tang San the other hand, had been in a coma since losing an arm, and even after multiple treatments, his condition could only be stabilized. He had not yet woken up.
As for Elder Ye Renxin, ever since he heard about the great battle at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, he immediately took his medicine chest and some servants (experts) and went on a journey. Now he can't even be found, clearly because he doesn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did take it quite seriously, each assigning two Healing System Soul Saint to treat Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. Unfortunately, the effect was not significant. According to the Healing System Soul Saint, Tang Hao would probably not wake up without several months of continuous treatment. Tang Xiao, on the other hand, had recovered slightly, but it would probably take at least one or two years for him to fully recover.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San mainly discussed the trip to Sea God Island. According to Yu Xiaogang's plan, since the Soul Master Tournament was no longer held, it would be better for Tang San to lead all the members of the Heaven Dou Team One to Sea God Island for training. In any case, the Soul Master Tournament would not be held again in the future, so it would be better to let them work hard to improve their strength so that they could become the backbone of the fight against the Spirit Hall in the future.
However, when Yu Xiaogang told Ning Fengzhi about the plan, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo looked at each other in bewilderment: Rongrong hadn't even returned from the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, so how could she possibly go to Sea God Island? Besides, Sea God Island was full of dangers, and it would probably be extremely difficult for Rongrong, a support Soul Master, to go. It would be better not to go at all.
It's important to understand that Ning Fengzhi's trust in Tang San was far less than in the original story. After all, in the original story, Ning Rongrong had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a rare treasure that appears only once every ten thousand years. Her strength and combat experience were far superior to what they are now.
Furthermore, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo didn't want Ning Rongrong to have anything to do with Oscar, as the current Oscar wasn't as outstanding as in the original work.
As for the other six members of the Heaven Dou Team One, Ma Hongjun thought about it for a long time and then refused to go to Sea God Island. After all, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire was not under control and needed to be vented regularly. There was nowhere to vent it on Sea God Island, and he might even lose his life if his Evil Fire flared up.
The other five agreed to go to Sea God Island. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were still unwilling to stay in the Heaven Dou Kingdom for the rest of their lives and wanted to go out and make a name for themselves. Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei were simply Tang San's underlings and would do whatever Tang San did. Oscar, after thinking for a long time, also decided to go to Sea God Island Sea God Island, hoping that he could change the fate of Food System Soul Master there.
Yang Podi ignored the situation outside and continued his cultivation. After all, danger could strike at any time, and Yang Podi wanted to wait for the Spirit Hall's attitude.
Yang Podi was still somewhat wary of Bibi Dong. Theoretically speaking, Bibi Dong was the one who was truly closest to godhood, because currently only she and Yang Tianyue were the true Godly Trial. If he were to risk everything to hunt for Soul Ring, who knew how long it would take her to become a god?
In the original novel, among the Sea God, Angel God, and Rakshasa God, only Bibi Dong did not have Peerless Douluo sacrifice himself. It can be said that she truly became a god step by step. Both Tang San and Qian Renxue received great help through the Godly Trial, while the Rakshasa God did not give Bibi Dong any help at all.
Therefore, in terms of talent alone, Bibi Dong might even be superior to Tang San and Qian Renxue.
After finishing his cultivation that day, Yang Podi originally wanted to talk to Ye Lingling about Ye Renxin. After all, they had already broken ties with the Clear Sky Sect, and Ye Renxin might be in danger staying in Heaven Dou City. Especially since those people in the Clear Sky Sect were a bunch of shameless lunatics. Now that they had suffered such a great loss, who knew what they might do?
Unexpectedly, the girls were cultivating together, and Ning Rongrong was one of them.
Yang Podi asked, somewhat puzzled, " Rongrong, I remember Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo should have already left, why haven't you left yet?"
Ning Rongrong seemed to have reverted to her usual Little Demoness self. "My dad and Grandpa Jian have already left. I'm just staying here to play with Sister Lingling and Sister Yanyan. It won't affect their cultivation."
Yang Podi looked puzzled. "Don't Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo worry about your safety?"
Ning Rongrong seemed utterly disdainful. "Is there anywhere in the world safer than Heavenly Pursuit Academy? Right now, I'm just an ordinary student at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy."
Yang Podi mentally scoffed: Who allowed this Little Demoness to stay at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy? Besides, have you ever seen an ordinary student living on a mountaintop?
However, after seeing the expressions of Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Yang Tianyue beside him, Yang Podi did not speak again.
Yang Podi hurriedly went to find his grandfather Yang Wudi, but Yang Wudi was also conflicted. " The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect helped us during the war between the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, otherwise many more people in our family would have died. Now that Sect Master Ning has spoken, it's not easy to refuse."
"Besides, she's just a little girl; it shouldn't have any impact."
Yang Podi looked incredulous. "Grandpa, is this just an ordinary little girl? She's the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Since we have no connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we should avoid suspicion. We can't possibly fight the Spirit Hall for her sake, can we?"
Yang Wudi hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Actually, it's mainly because the four girls get along well. Tianyue and Yanyan came to see me."
Yang Podi:...
