Ignoring the surprised expressions of the crowd Yang Podi spoke again, "Both the Soul Tool Research Academy and the Body Martial Soul Research Academy will be top secrets of our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. It is best not to let any outsiders know about them except for those present here. I hope everyone will keep this a secret."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this; now, no one dared to doubt Yang Podi's decisive and ruthless nature.
After the meeting concluded, only Yang Podi, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo remained in the conference room.
Ning Fengzhi's face was filled with gratitude. "Mr. Yang, thank you for your support of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I will definitely manage the Soul Tool Research Academy well and make it flourish."
Yang Podi stared at Ning Fengzhi and the other two with a gloomy expression. "Mr. Ning, the research on Soul Tool is of great importance. I thought about it for a long time before choosing you to lead it. There are two points you need to pay close attention to."
Ning Fengzhi in a fist and palm salute. "Mr. Yang, please feel free to speak your mind."
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Ning, there's no need to be so nervous. There's nothing too serious. First of all, the entire Soul Tool Research Academy must maintain absolute secrecy. No one is allowed to leak any private information, especially those people from the Clear Sky Sect back then. I don't want my grandfather and maternal grandfather to be affected by past relationships, so I specifically chose the three of you experts."
"Secondly, I hope you will be mindful of your stance. I can allow your original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect to continue developing, and I can even guarantee that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul can continue for ten thousand years. But the premise is that you must forget the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and forget the past hatred. Now you are members of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and I do not want to cause conflict with the Spirit Hall Empire because of you."
Ning Fengzhi and the other two were shocked to hear this. They hadn't expected Yang Podi to harbor such deep hatred for the Clear Sky Sect, or even for the Strength Clan. He had probably chosen them, these outsiders, to deal with those whom Yang Wudi and the others couldn't easily deal with, and to sever their ties completely.
Faced with such benefits, Ning Fengzhi and his companions were exceptionally decisive. "Mr. Yang, you can rest assured that as long as I, Ning, am here, no one will leak a single secret. We will also sever all ties with those people from the Clear Sky Sect, and if necessary, we will eliminate all potential threats."
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh. Talking to smart people was indeed different; these people were truly a sharp blade.
After finishing his explanation, Yang Podi went back to rest alone.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo remained in place with unusual seriousness.
Sword Douluo looked puzzled. " Fengzhi, what exactly does Yang Podi mean? I didn't expect him to suddenly give us so many benefits."
Ning Fengzhi's smile gradually faded, and he finally sighed, "Things aren't that simple. Since they've given us benefits, they'll naturally need to pledge their loyalty in the future. From now on, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can only stand firm, stay at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and must not make any further moves, nor can we mention any more hatred towards the Spirit Hall Empire."
"Another point is that in the future, when we encounter the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan, or even Tang San, we must draw a clear line and, if necessary, wipe them out completely."
Bone Douluo looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with the Strength Clan?"
Ning Fengzhi sneered, "Indeed, it doesn't matter, but don't forget, the Strength Clan and Tang San are all excellent blacksmiths, perfectly suited for crafting Soul Tool. If knowledge of Soul Tool were leaked to them, it would greatly increase their strength, and what we need to do is nip that possibility in the bud."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo fell silent upon hearing this. Since they had already received such great benefits, they naturally had to make a sacrifice, which was to eliminate any potential enemies.
After resting at home for a few days, and especially after completing the planning of the Soul Tool Research Academy and the Body Martial Soul Academy, Yang Podi left Heavenly Pursuit Academy again. As long as the academy follows its own plan, it will definitely stand tall in the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years.
Yang Podi himself went directly to Spirit City, preparing to complete the Fifth Trial trial of the Asura God as soon as possible.
Recently, especially since Bibi Dong acquired the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python Soul Ring, the world seems to be operating much faster.
The millions of troops of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire were rendered useless. Faced with the army of the Spirit Hall Empire, which possessed Titled Douluo, they suffered rapid defeats, either surrendering or being annihilated. Only a very small number of people were still organizing armies to resist.
The Spirit Hall Empire has now begun to rule the entire Douluo Continent. Almost all Soul Master have submitted to the Spirit Hall Empire. Even the few forces that resisted were quickly wiped out by the Titled Douluo sent by the Spirit Hall Empire.
Bibi Dong seems to have gained more control over the empire, and she is using those Titled Douluo or Soul Douluo experts more and more frequently. She also understands the role of high-level Soul Master in the Soul Master World better.
They have now unified the continent and have mobilized a million troops, ready to invade Vast Sea City at any time. This is the only place on the continent that the Spirit Hall Empire has not set foot in.
Vast Sea City is no ordinary place; almost all its Soul Master are Sea Soul Master. If Soul Master in Vast Sea City encounters a dangerous situation, they can immediately retreat to the sea.
Once they reach the sea, they are like dragons entering the ocean. No matter how many troops the Spirit Hall Empire has, they can only look on helplessly. This is one of the reasons why Vast Sea City is the most difficult to conquer.
For some unknown reason, Bibi Dong remained inactive, seemingly brewing some final plan.
The entire Vast Sea City was in chaos. Originally, all the Sea Soul Master in Vast Sea City worshipped the Sea God, but the Spirit Hall Empire did the exact opposite, with all the Soul Master worshipping the Angel God.
The clash between the two faiths seems unavoidable. However, with the Spirit Hall Empire's growing power, many Sea Soul Master have begun to pledge Spirit Hall Empire, though the proportion is still relatively small, especially with a lack of high-level Sea Soul Master.
Another point is that, perhaps due to some stimulus, a large number of Sea Soul Master have gathered together in Vast Sea City. The previously loose Sea Soul Master organization has actually formed a whole, as if they plan to leave Vast Sea City as a group.
Bibi Dong also seemed afraid that the enemy would be driven to desperation. The million-strong army had not yet attacked Vast Sea City. If all these Sea Soul Master were to escape, they might pose a threat to Vast Sea City in the future.
Yang Podi ignored all of this and had already arrived alone near Spirit City, preparing to challenge Qian Daoliu, the undisputed number one expert in the Douluo Continent.
