At this moment, Qian Daoliu seemed to become exceptionally sacred. "Young friend, although you are only Level 98 now, you are already no weaker than a Level 99 Limit Douluo. With your strength, you are probably no weaker than Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect back then, which is truly a pity."
Yang Podi shook his head slightly. "Senior, you flatter me. I am just a junior, and I dare not compare myself to you."
Qian Daoliu seemed to become even more serious. "The sky is my home turf. As long as I am under the sun, my Soul Power will be inexhaustible. Although your wings can approach my speed, they cannot compete with the sun in the sky."
Yang Podi simply said, "Senior, you are too confident. Even the sun can be shot down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light emanating from Qian Daoliu intensified, carrying an endless aura of fire. Clearly, this was the fire of the sun, and with Qian Daoliu's strength, he could draw upon the power of the sun.
Yang Podi merely smiled coldly, and a black light also emanated from his body—this was Yang Podi's Gravity Domain.
At this moment, Yang Podi simultaneously activated his Soul Breaking Domain and Gravity Domain, directly colliding with the sky full of flames, causing the entire sky to tremble.
Yang Podi became even more ferocious at this moment. In a flash, he appeared in front of Qian Daoliu.
The tip of the Soul Breaking Spear seemed to possess boundless Destruction power, piercing towards Qian Daoliu once more. Qian Daoliu's strength and speed were even more ferocious than before, and his Angel God Sword also seemed to have become considerably more powerful.
In the sky, the two figures flew swiftly, the Soul Breaking Spear and the Angel God Sword seemingly having clashed countless times. The two occasionally used their Soul Skill, but neither could truly seriously injure their opponent.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and both Qian Daoliu and Yang Podi suffered some losses and had many wounds.
Unexpectedly, although Qian Daoliu recovered his body by relying on his powerful Angel Martial Soul, or rather, his powerful Angel Divine Power, Yang Podi's recovery was no less than Qian Daoliu's.
This also puzzled Qian Daoliu greatly. He had fought against Tang Chen and Bo Saixi many times, but even Tang Chen and Bo Saixi did not have such a strong recovery ability, which was beyond his imagination. In particular, Yang Podi's Soul Power seemed unfathomable. Even after fighting for so long, there was not much difference from the beginning.
How could Qian Daoliu know that after Yang Podi's Body Martial Soul Gold-Grade Awakening and absorbed Soul Ring with the attribute of Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Wood, his physical recovery ability had reached an unimaginable level. In particular, Yang Podi also had Yin-Yang Balance Dual Soul Cores, and his Soul Power recovery speed was no less than that of Qian Daoliu. In fact, Yang Podi did not use his Body Martial Soul at all from beginning to end, and it can be said that he only used half of his strength.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu became unusually serious. The Six-Winged Angel behind him seemed to have become enormous, even covering the entire sky. In particular, the huge Sacred Sword turned into a black and white sword that slashed down from the sky, as if it carried some kind of special power of rules.
This is likely a special skill of the Six-Winged Angel used by Qian Daoliu: Angel Judgment.
Yang Podi felt as if he were on a trial bench, exuding an aura of being at the mercy of others, or rather, an aura of being judged.
Yang Podi gritted his teeth, his eighth red Soul Ring flashed, and the Soul Breaking Spear Soul Breaking Spear enormous, turning completely golden. It flew directly toward the Angel God Sword, as if it could pierce through everything.
This was Yang Podi's Eighth Soul Skill: Earth Behemoth Break. The moment the enormous Six-Winged Angel figure and the huge black and white Sacred Sword down, the Soul Breaking Spear was like a golden Golden Behemoth, with endless fierce roars, as if it wanted to tear the heavens and the earth apart.
As the black and white Sacred Sword fell, they collided with the massive Golden Behemoth, and the entire void seemed to begin to shatter, until finally everything turned to nothingness.
At this moment, a huge wound appeared on Yang Podi's chest, obviously caused by the Angel Judgment just now. Qian Daoliu on the opposite side was in a similar situation, with a huge wound on his shoulder, as if he had been pierced by the Soul Breaking Spear, or as if he had been torn through in mid-air by the claws of the Golden Behemoth.
Yang Podi was shocked by the wound. Even with his powerful regenerative abilities, it seemed difficult to heal in a short time. It was as if some special force was hindering the healing of his wound. No wonder it was an attack containing the Angel Divine Power.
Qian Daoliu on the opposite side was also extremely surprised. Yang Podi's attack seemed to contain the ultimate metal element, which even the Angel Divine Power could not recover in a short period of time.
"Young friend, your move was indeed impressive. Very few people can seriously injure me anymore. Now, take my final blow."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, his Ninth Soul Ring flashed, and at the same time, he seemed to merge with the sunlight in the sky, and even merge with the Divine Power on his body, making him like the sun.
It was his Ninth Soul Skill: Angel's Glory. Clearly, this was his strongest Soul Skill, especially since it contained boundless Soul Skill. It could be said to be a convergence of perfect timing, location, and human Divine Power.
Facing the dazzling sun formed by Qian Daoliu in the sky, Yang Podi gritted his teeth and said, "So what if it's the sun? Watch me shoot it down."
Immediately afterward, his Ninth Soul Ring flashed, Soul Breaking Spear seemed to possess boundless divine Divine Power, especially since it seemed to possess various elemental powers, including Ultimate Metal, Ultimate Strength, as well as powerful wood, spatial, and earth attributes, and even boundless Slaughter intent. This strike seemed capable of truly shooting down the sun.
This is Yang Podi's Ninth Soul Skill, the second one: Sun Shooting. It is also Yang Podi's strongest Soul Skill at this stage, after all, it is a 500,000-year Soul Skill, and it is also a collection of various Soul Power attributes on his body. Of course, Yang Podi did not use the Ring Fusion, that is a truly desperate move.
The sun sets in the sky, while the Soul Breaking Spear pierces through the heavens, as if trying to pierce the entire sun.
With the final blow from both sides, Qian Daoliu seemed to be in a terrible state. A huge Soul Breaking Spear pierced through Qian Daoliu's shoulder, but it couldn't completely penetrate it. In particular, there seemed to be a special golden energy on Qian Daoliu Qian Daoliu's body that prevented the Soul Breaking Spear from piercing through him.
Yang Podi also seemed to be seriously injured. The golden sun from earlier seemed to possess some kind of special Divine Power, and Yang Podi had multiple burns on his body.
Yang Podi coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he merely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before speaking to Qian Daoliu, "Senior, your Angel Divine Power is indeed formidable; you truly deserve to be called a god."
Qian Daoliu, standing opposite him, glanced at his wounds and blood and couldn't help but shake his head. "Young friend, your strength is indeed formidable. If we continue fighting, we'll probably only end up both of us severely injured."
Yang Podi hardened with resolve. "That's a question for you, senior, on whether my Heavenly Pursuit Academy is qualified to remain neutral. I don't want to get involved in the Spirit Hall's petty squabbles right now. If your Spirit Hall really wants to fight, we can just part ways, and I wouldn't mind opposing the Spirit Hall."
Qian Daoliu simply nodded slightly after hearing this and said nothing more.
Immediately afterwards, both Yang Podi and Qian Daoliu's bodies flashed with Soul Power, their wounds healed at an extremely fast speed, and even the blood on their bodies disappeared completely.
Yang Podi glanced at Qian Daoliu's condition. His blood seemed a bit abnormal; it wasn't completely red, but rather had a hint of gold.
Just a few minutes later, the two returned to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Qian Daoliu said calmly to Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Hu Liena, "Let's go. I will discuss the matter of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy with the Pope."
Yang Podi watched the four of them leave.
Yang Wudi and the others rushed over. " Podi, how are you now? Were you injured just now?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "I'm fine. Qian Daoliu's strength is even greater than I imagined. I didn't expect him to be able to use some Divine Power."
Yang Wudi asked, somewhat puzzled, "So, how was your battle? Who won and who lost?"
Yang Podi thought carefully before speaking, "In terms of strength, I should be slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu, but the gap between us shouldn't be too big. Even if I win, it will probably be difficult to kill him. After all, he is indeed very fast, especially if he returns to Spirit City, I'm afraid even I might not be his match."
"Besides, Qian Daoliu was somewhat restrained and dared not unleash his full Divine Power, so this battle can be considered a draw."
Father Yang Zhentian was somewhat conflicted. " Podi's defenses, what should we do now? Will the absorption of the Elemental Academy and the development of the academy be affected in the future?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "I've already confirmed my stance with Qian Daoliu. From now on, we'll continue to develop normally. As long as we maintain a neutral position, neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Daoliu can do anything to me. Even if both of them come at me together, I can still escape unscathed."
"By the way, you all should have gained some insights from my fight against a master of Qian Daoliu's caliber, right? Keep up the good work and improve yourselves; war might be breaking out soon."
Everyone nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
Yang Podi returned to his room alone and began to ponder the gains from the battle. In particular, he was now holding a drop of blood with a trace of gold and a golden feather in his Yang Podi, left behind by Qian Daoliu during the fight.
The battle appeared intense, but neither side actually went all out. Although Yang Podi used his Ninth Soul Skill, he did not use his own Body Martial Soul, which can be considered as holding back. Otherwise, with the powerful recovery and tough defense of his Body Martial Soul, he would not have been injured.
As for Qian Daoliu, he was probably thinking about Qian Renxue, so he didn't use all his divine Divine Power, and he was somewhat restrained throughout the battle.
Regardless, Qian Daoliu is indeed a top expert. Fifty years ago, he had already reached the Level 99 Limit Douluo. Now, his strength is even more unfathomable, especially in his application of Soul Power and Martial Soul. He has basically reached the pinnacle of Soul Master and can even use some Divine Power.
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh: This Qian Daoliu is really interesting. He hides his strength so deeply. Throughout the entire original work, he was basically just a minor character. If Qian Daoliu had made his move earlier, Tang San wouldn't have had a chance.
After leaving Heavenly Pursuit Academy with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Hu Liena, Qian Daoliu addressed the three directly. "I plan to go to Heaven Dou City to see Xiao Xue. The three of you should return to the Spirit Hall and communicate with the Pope. In this battle, I fought Yang Podi to a near draw. Tell her to pay special attention to Yang Podi; he might become the biggest obstacle to our Spirit Hall's rule over the continent. But at this stage, unless there are special circumstances, try not to offend him."
"As for the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, it should remain neutral at least until we unify the continent, so we don't need to worry about it for now."
After finishing his speech, Qian Daoliu left immediately. Yang Podi was putting immense pressure on him. At such a young age, Yang Podi had already achieved such strength, and his future goal was probably to become a god. Meanwhile, Xiao Xue had wasted so many years in Heaven Dou City, and now the gap in strength between her and Yang Podi was widening. He needed to find a way to end all the mess in Heaven Dou City as soon as possible.
As for Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Hu Liena, they merely exchanged glances, knowing that Qian Daoliu was someone they dared not provoke.
