After returning to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Yang Podi simply went to his room alone, without attracting the attention of anyone else.
After finally getting home, all I want to do is have a good night's sleep; that's what home feels like.
However, Yang Podi had just woken up the next morning when his father dragged him to the conference room, where everyone was present.
Yang Podi couldn't help but complain, "Dad, Grandpa, what's the rush? I finally got home, can't I even get a little more sleep?"
Yang Zhentian, the father, looked disgusted. " Podi, you're already Level 99. You could go without sleep for a long time without any problems. Why are you always thinking about sleeping?"
The others also turned pale: Looking at you, there wasn't a trace of Soul Power fluctuation on your body; you seemed like an ordinary commoner. Where was the resemblance to Limit Douluo?
Yang Podi looked at everyone, couldn't help but sigh, and then casually found a place to sit down.
Grandpa Yang Wudi's face seemed somewhat serious at this moment. " Podi, this is no small matter. The Spirit Hall Empire has attacked the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Heaven Dou Empire falls apart, and the Spirit Hall Empire Heaven Dou Empire soon be able to destroy it."
Yang Podi looked at everyone and simply shook his head slightly. "What's the big deal? The Spirit Hall Empire did more than just this; they also wiped out the Star Luo Imperial Family. Now, the royal families of both great empires have been completely eradicated, and the original Upper Three Sects have basically been eliminated. I'm afraid they will soon be able to unify the world."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. They hadn't expected things to be so much more serious than they had imagined. It seemed that the Spirit Hall Empire's unification of the world was just around the corner.
Yang Wudi's expression turned extremely serious. " Podi, how do you know all this? Logically speaking, the news shouldn't have spread yet."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, "The reason is simple: I was there, I witnessed their battle firsthand."
" Podi, since you were there, why didn't you stop it?"
"Why should we stop them? What do the affairs of these two empires and two major sects have to do with us? I don't owe them anything."
Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this. After careful consideration, it seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with them, especially since Heavenly Pursuit Academy and Clear Sky Sect were still on opposing sides and had even fought each other last time.
Yang Wudi thought for a long time before speaking again, "But now the Spirit Hall Empire is very powerful. I'm afraid they will clash with our Heavenly Pursuit Academy sooner or later. At that time, the enemy will be too powerful."
Yang Podi sighed again, " The Spirit Hall Empire is nothing. As long as I'm still here, they won't dare to act recklessly. At least they won't dare to run wild at my Heavenly Pursuit Academy. As for other matters, let them fight it out themselves."
Yang Wudi's expression turned conflicted upon hearing this. " Podi, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School are currently at our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Ning Fengzhi has expressed his desire to join our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Should we accept them?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but think to himself: This Ning Fengzhi is quite interesting; he actually managed to hide at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. If they knew that the Spirit Hall Empire's operation this time was his suggestion, I wonder if they would turn on him on the spot?
Yang Podi thought for a while before speaking, "It's nothing serious. You can handle it yourselves. As long as Ning Fengzhi and the others are willing to abide by the rules of our Heavenly Pursuit Academy and refrain from interfering in any conflicts in the Soul Master World from now on, why wouldn't we be happy to do so?"
"But Podi, won't that offend the Spirit Hall Empire?"
"There's no need to worry about that. I've been cooperating with the Spirit Hall Empire recently, so they should still give me this much face. Besides, even if we take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, what can the Spirit Hall Empire do? What would they dare to do?"
Yang Wudi's face darkened upon hearing this. " Podi, what kind of cooperation do you have with the Spirit Hall Empire? Shouldn't you be more careful about cooperating with them?"
Yang Podi glanced at the somewhat surprised crowd, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "It's nothing major. I just plan to cooperate with the Spirit Hall Empire to hunt two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The targets are the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest. They will get the Soul Ring, and I will get the Soul Bone. It's like getting two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone for free."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened: Such a good deal? When did the Spirit Hall Empire become so generous? They actually only want the Soul Ring and not the Soul Bone.
Yang Wudi seemed to have thought of something, " Podi, didn't you say that the Star Dou Great Forest Star Dou Great Forest?"
Yang Podi revealed a meaningful expression. "It's precisely because the Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous that we went with the Spirit Hall Empire. If anything really happens, they'll take the blame."
Yang Wudi and the others:...
After some discussion, everyone basically agreed on the future operating methods of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Yang Wudi also invited Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo to the conference room.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes seemed to light up slightly when he saw Yang Podi: "Young friend Yang Podi, I didn't expect you to return to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy so quickly. It seems we arrived at a rather opportune time."
Yang Podi nodded slightly as a greeting. " Sect Master Ning, you flatter me. I have been training outside recently and only returned to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy yesterday. May I ask what brings you here to see me?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo around him before speaking, "Young friend Yang Podi, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wishes to join the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. I wonder if you would be willing to accept us?"
Yang Podi simply smiled slightly, " Sect Master Ning, your words are a bit too kind. I personally welcome everyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but it's best to lay some things out in advance, otherwise it will embarrass everyone later."
Ning Fengzhi's expression also became unusually serious. "Young friend, please speak frankly. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can definitely do it."
Yang Podi nodded. "Actually, it's nothing serious. There's no problem with you joining Heavenly Pursuit Academy. However, we must make it clear beforehand that Heavenly Pursuit Academy's purpose is to educate and nurture people. If you join, firstly, you must comply with the Heavenly Pursuit Academy's rules, and secondly, you must abandon past grudges and never participate in the struggles of the Soul Master World again. I wonder if Sect Master Ning can do that? Or can the others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do that?"
"Young friend, may you speak frankly?"
"It's actually very simple. It's about making you abandon your hatred for the Spirit Hall Empire, give up all struggles in the Soul Master World, and from now on, you will all become teachers at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. No matter when or where, you must not transmit the idea of revenge to anyone, and you must not incite other people to hate the Spirit Hall Empire."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's lips seemed to ache slightly. "Does it have to be this way? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has lost three to four thousand Soul Master to the Spirit Hall Empire. This is a deep-seated hatred, and it's far too difficult for me to give up this hatred."
Yang Podi remained expressionless. "It must be so. This is a basic condition for you to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Heavenly Pursuit Academy has always maintained neutrality to avoid conflicts in the Soul Master World. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has too deep a hatred and obsession with the Spirit Hall Empire. I don't want you spreading any ideas of revenge and hegemony within the Heavenly Pursuit Academy Heavenly Pursuit Academy, which would only drag us into the abyss of war."
"Anyone who violates the rules of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, regardless of their status, will be dealt with personally. Don't show any leniency then."
"Another point is that while it's difficult for you to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, it will likely be even more difficult for you to leave someday. I certainly don't want the two sides to end up fighting each other."
Upon hearing this, not only did Ning Fengzhi's face turn extremely gloomy, but even the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind him looked very ugly. After all, they now had such a deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall Empire, and it could be said that revenge had become the goal of all of them, or even their obsession.
