After a moment's thought, Yang Podi decided to go and see what Chrysanthemum Douluo's purpose was in coming to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Before Yang Podi even reached the reception hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo's female voice rang out. "What's going on at Weather Academy? Where are Old Poison and Old Goat? Where have those two old bastards gone?"
Upon hearing this effeminate voice, Yang Podi couldn't help but want to punch Chrysanthemum Douluo.
" Chrysanthemum Douluo, what brings you to my Heavenly Pursuit Academy today? Perhaps you'd like to spar with my grandfather? He's away on some business. If you'd like to spar, you can come to me instead."
As the sound faded, Yang Podi slowly walked into the room and casually found a place to sit down.
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Yang Podi walk in, his aura much weaker, but he couldn't help but laugh and scold, " Little Podi, weren't you away for two years? Why have you suddenly come back?"
Yang Podi looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo with a meaningful expression. "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I didn't expect you to care so much about my schedule. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were planning to ambush me."
"No, no! Who in the world would dare to plot against you these days? Where's your grandfather? I need to speak with him about something."
"My grandfather is out, but you can contact me if you need anything."
Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered for a moment before speaking, "Now that our Spirit Hall Empire has been established, what is the stance of your Heavenly Pursuit Academy? Or rather, what demands do you have for supporting my Spirit Hall Empire?"
Yang Podi was somewhat puzzled. "With the strength of your Spirit Hall Empire, you should be able to crush the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy is located in a remote area, so I'm afraid we can't provide you with support."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was somewhat conflicted at this moment. "Now everyone in the world knows that among all the sects and forces in the Soul Master World, your Heavenly Pursuit Academy is the strongest, probably even stronger than the Clear Sky Sect back then. As long as you are willing to express your support for the Spirit Hall Empire to unify the world, we don't need to send people to participate in the war directly. Our next war should be much more effective."
Yang Podi sighed softly, "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, you should know that I hate war the most. I cannot support you in starting a war, let alone personally get involved."
"What exactly does Bibi Dong mean by summoning you here? Does she perhaps want to fight me too?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also a bit conflicted at this moment. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Yang Podi had not been heard from for two years, so that the Spirit Hall Empire could take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and even to test Yang Podi's current situation. However, he did not expect that Yang Podi would suddenly return, and that he would be much stronger than before.
Everyone around fell silent. Feng Xuan and Huo Lie were only Soul Douluo, and they couldn't get a word in edgewise during a conversation between Titled Douluo- level individuals, let alone the group of young people like Feng Xiaotian.
Chrysanthemum Douluo then spoke up Youyou, " Little Podi, you are already no weaker than the Great Enshrined. Even His Majesty might not be able to do anything to you. How could I possibly challenge you to a duel?"
Yang Podi simply smiled slightly, "That's not necessarily true. Your Majesty is hiding his strength too well; he's probably already on par with your Great Enshrined."
After their conversation, Chrysanthemum Douluo was preparing to take his leave, it seemed he would be returning empty-handed this time.
But before he could leave, Yang Podi suddenly spoke up, "Although I cannot support your war, we can make another deal."
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked puzzled. "Is there anything more important than our war right now?"
"That's not necessarily true."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out a jade box from his person. As soon as the jade box was taken out, a faint fragrance filled the entire room.
Inside the jade box was an eight-petaled orchid, its entire body pure white and crystal clear, giving it a sense of purity and otherworldly elegance. In particular, its refreshing fragrance seemed to intoxicate one.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also captivated by the jade box, only managing to stammer, " Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, you actually hid Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
Yang Podi ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo's dazed expression and said calmly, "The deal I want to make is this eight- Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. You should know its uses better than anyone else. Is that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to have recovered, but he still asked with some doubt, "What is so important that you're willing to give up this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid?"
Yang Podi also became somewhat serious at this moment. "I would appreciate it if Chrysanthemum Douluo could communicate with Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu. I am willing to borrow your Angel Holy Sword in exchange for this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was completely stunned. " Angel Holy Sword? This is impossible."
"Nothing is impossible in this world. If it weren't for borrowing the Angel Holy Sword, I wouldn't have brought out such a rare and precious treasure as the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression was extremely grim. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Your request is too great. I need to consult His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Enshrined first."
Yang Podi nodded. "Alright, go and ask them as soon as possible. If they don't agree, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Spirit City myself to borrow the sword from them."
Finally, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid in Yang Podi and reluctantly left Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Yang Podi ignored the envious glances from those around him, carefully put away the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and left.
If it weren't for a treasure like the Angel Holy Sword, why would Yang Podi have taken out the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid?
That day, Yang Podi suddenly sensed an extremely strong aura in the Far North, and this aura was very similar to that of Yang Tianyue and her group. It seemed that Yang Tianyue and her group had encountered Snow Empress and her group.
Yang Budi thought for a moment, still a little worried about his parents' safety, and flapped his wings to fly quickly towards the Far North.
In less than half an hour, Yang Podi had already arrived at the edge of the battlefield. However, he did not approach in a grand manner. Instead, he concealed his Soul Power and observed secretly.
On the battlefield, both sides appeared to be fighting fiercely.
On the Heavenly Pursuit Academy side, everyone summoned their Martial Soul and Soul Ring, especially Yang Tianyue, who wielded the enormous Sea God Trident, and bursts of Sea God's Light seemed to fill the heavens and earth.
Opposite them were three Soul Beast, including a gigantic Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, 1.5 meters long, with two colors: ice and emerald green. Its front end had four overlapping layers, each slightly longer than half a foot. The head was located on the foremost layer, with silvery-white mandibles. The front half of its four-layered body was covered with hexagonal protrusions. At the very end, there was a tail hook with diamond-like particles, the tip of which shimmered with a silvery-white mirror-like luster. This must be the Ice Empress.
There was also a gigantic Titan Snow Demon Ape Titan Snow Demon Ape stood a hundred meters tall and displayed boundless power.
Finally, there was a gigantic Ice Bear King Ice Bear King, which stood tens of meters tall, covered in thick fur, and displayed immense power.
Yang Podi watched the battle unfold and couldn't help but shake his head: This battle is too chaotic. So many Titled Douluo fighting against these three Soul Beast should have been an easy victory.
Yang Podi also sensed a faint aura, indicating that Snow Empress was probably nearby, but for some reason, she didn't make a move.
Of these three Soul Beast, the most difficult to deal with is Ice Empress. Ice Empress is nearly 400,000 years old, and its strength is even stronger than its father, Yang Zhentian. It takes multiple people attacking it to barely maintain a relative balance.
Ice Empress, her face contorted with rage, uttered a booming voice, like heavenly music. "Humans, even if you are powerful, do you intend to exterminate us all?"
Yang Tianyue, her face solemn, said, "We don't want to wipe them out; we just want a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress flew into a rage. "Humans, you've gone too far!"
The Ice Empress's Soul Power flickered, Ice Seal the entire battlefield within hundreds of meters. Everyone seemed to be under immense ice-attribute threat, and even their movements were restricted. This must be the Ice Empress's skill: Eternal Frozen Domain.
Especially in this Eternal Frozen Domain, everyone seemed to have suffered extreme damage from the freezing attribute. Both their Soul Power circulation speed and physical movements were greatly restricted. If they weren't all Titled Douluo, this move would probably have been fatal to everyone.
But Yang Tianyue was not afraid at all. The huge Sea God Trident emitted endless light, as if it would break through all the ice attribute energy.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhentian, Yang Ping'an, and Yang Wudi also quickly attacked Ice Empress. Yang Ping'an, in particular, seemed to transform into lightning, moving at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, Yang Ping'an used his Thunder Domain Thunder Domain, within which the ice attribute was greatly suppressed.
As for the Titan Snow Demon Ape and the Ice Bear King, they were also besieged, with each Soul Beast having to fight at least two Titled Douluo.
Especially Ye Lingling, who was in the distance, directly summoned a giant Nine Heart Begonia to heal everyone, and even the damage from Ice Empress's Ultimate Ice was quickly recovered.
Judging from this situation, it seems only a matter of time before these three Soul Beast fail.
Ice Empress seemed to understand that the current situation was far from optimistic; if the fighting continued like this, all three Soul Beast might be wiped out in one fell swoop.
The Ice Empress seemed to have pushed his strength to its limit, his body covered in thick armor of ice, likely his Soul Skill Ice Emperor's Protection.
Moreover, an extremely powerful phantom appeared behind Ice Empress, as if it were the wrath of a god. This should be Ice Empress's ultimate desperate attack: the Ice Emperor's Wrath.
Especially with this move, the entire world seemed to be covered in ice and snow, as if it were about to shatter the entire world.
What's even more terrifying is that in this Far North, where the world is already in a state of extreme cold, it seems that by taking advantage of the geographical environment, this move can be brought to its fullest potential.
Looking at the huge phantom of the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, Yang Tianyue quickly swung the Sea God Trident. Behind her was a huge Sea God Phantom. It seemed that all of Yang Tianyue's Soul Power was concentrated on the Sea God Trident. She threw the entire Sea God Trident directly out, which was somewhat similar to Yang Podi's Ninth Soul Skill: Sun Shooting.
This move is the third form of the Golden Thirteen Halberds: Gone Forever. In terms of attack power, it should be the strongest of the first three forms of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, and it can even damage Limit Douluo.
The enormous phantom of the Ice Jade Scorpion collided with the Sea God Trident. The Ice Jade Scorpion shattered instantly, while the Sea God Trident seemed poised to pierce through the Ice Empress's entire body.
At this moment, Ice Empress seemed to be filled with fear. She did not expect that her strongest attack would be destroyed. Moreover, seeing the approaching Sea God Trident, it seemed to possess infinite power and destructive force, and even restrained her Ultimate Ice, as if it would kill her instantly.
At this critical moment, a sigh seemed to come from the sky, a sigh that was unusually ethereal, as if it ignored everything in the world.
Immediately afterwards, a giant ice sword appeared in the sky, colliding with the Sea God Trident of Sea God Trident and directly slowing down its attack. Taking advantage of this moment, the Ice Empress covered his hands with ice crystals, transforming them into the pincers of a giant Ice Jade Scorpion, barely managing to block the attack.
Even so, Hyotei had a large wound on both hands, seemingly severely injured by Ice Empress's Sea God Trident.
