When Tang San and his group returned to Vast Sea City, the entire Vast Sea City was like a military base, with extremely strict checkpoints and inspections, especially the checks on the sea, which were so rigorous that even Sea Soul Master could not set foot on land.
There are even several Titled Douluo- level powerhouses guarding the entire Vast Sea City, making a direct assault impossible.
However, Tang San is quite agile, and with such a long coastline, it's relatively easy for the Speed Clan, who are capable of flight, to find an opening.
After finding a gap in the north, the group stealthily made their way to Mount Aermo, which was the only place the Spirit Hall Empire had truly set foot in at this stage. It was also the gathering place that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's people had arranged in advance.
Tang San and Xiao Wu left the group. Their plan was to go to the Star Dou Great Forest first. On one hand, Xiao Wu missed the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python brothers, and on the other hand, Tang San also had other plans.
Although Tang San's Soul Power has reached level 88, he is still far inferior to true masters. Not to mention Limit Douluo like Yang Podi, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu, he would have a hard time defeating even a Level 95 Titled Douluo.
Bai He and the others continued flying north to reunite with Yu Xiaogang and the others as soon as possible, and then they would find a way to join forces.
The group's strength is currently too weak; there isn't a single Titled Douluo among them, with the highest being Tang San, Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong, and Bai He.
After their training on Sea God Island, Tang San and his companions have improved their strength to some extent. However, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Oscar have truly improved the most. Among these four, Tang San and Xiao Wu are now Soul Douluo, while Dai Mubai and Oscar are only at the Black Level Four Trials. Even if they pass the trial, they will only reach the level of High-Rank Soul Saint, not Soul Douluo.
Zhu Zhuqing, Tai Long, and Bai Xiaofei are currently only Soul Emperor, as all three have passed the assessment below the Black Level, and their improvement through the Sea God Island training is very limited.
Recently, Heavenly Pursuit Academy has been unusually quiet. Even the newly built Soul Tool Research Academy and Body Academy are kept very well hidden, with no information leaking out at all. Especially with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo personally inspecting the area, not even a fly can get out.
Yang Podi and Qian Renxue's relationship has been heating up very quickly recently. They had already had experience spending time together in the illusion, and now they seem to get along quite well.
Especially after a period of correspondence, Bibi Dong's attitude towards Qian Renxue seemed to have cooled down. Occasionally, she would reply with a letter, the content of which was bland and uninteresting, but Qian Renxue would inexplicably get excited when she saw the letter.
Meanwhile, Yang Podi and Qian Renxue seemed to have returned to the illusion, and began living their lives together. From the initial comforting each other, they gradually lived together and even took the final step.
However, there is also a big problem: it's now a three-person world. Qian Renxue is extremely arrogant, while Ye Lingling is relatively gentle and mild-mannered. The two haven't started fighting, but the scene is still quite chaotic.
The mother, Niu Jinfeng, was speechless. She had originally hoped that her son would get married soon and preferably have two grandsons.
Over the years, his son has been devoted to Ye Lingling, and the two have been together for a long time, but they have never gotten married or had children. Now, he has finally found a girlfriend, but she turns out to be a girl from the Qian Family of the Spirit Hall Empire. Moreover, this girl is also proud and arrogant, and it seems that she has no intention of getting married and having children for the time being.
This made Niu Jinfeng and Yang Zhentian a little anxious, and even the two grandfathers were quite worried. They wanted to try to persuade them, but these two girls were both extraordinary. One was the inheritor of the Angel God, and the other was the only Healing System Titled Douluo on the continent.
Yang Podi was also having a headache. Although the Douluo Continent should be considered a feudal era, where it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, the two he had chosen were not simple.
Every time I went to Ye Lingling's place, although I didn't receive any ridicule and felt particularly happy, I always felt that Ye Lingling seemed a bit indifferent and had become quite serious.
Going to Qian Renxue's place was more difficult. Qian Renxue had a queen-like demeanor and was extremely competitive. Often, conversations would turn into a battle of Martial Soul, and even if she lost, she would be extremely unwilling to accept it, as if she wanted to get revenge at any moment.
That day, Grandpa Yang Wudi suddenly sent someone to inform Yang Podi to attend a meeting, leaving Yang Podi completely bewildered. He hadn't paid attention to the academy's affairs for a long time, so why was he suddenly being asked to go?
By the time Yang Podi arrived at the conference room, he had almost figured out everything.
In addition to Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Dugu Bo, and all the senior executives, there were also many outsiders in the conference room, including Flender and Zhao Wuji from the original work, as well as Tai Nuo from the Li Clan, who were once as Strength Clan as brothers.
Yang Podi basically guessed what it was about, so without saying hello, he found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest. He really wasn't interested in these trivial matters.
At this moment, Yang Wudi suddenly spoke up, " Podi, Dean Flender and Tai Nuo want to join our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Do you see any problems with that?"
Yang Podi opened his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and then said, "Grandpa, there are certain rules for any outsider joining our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. You just need to follow the rules, and no matter how much trouble they cause, they won't be able to cause any major problems."
Niu Gao and Dugu Bo couldn't help but twitch their lips. According to Yang Podi's statement, Heavenly Pursuit Academy doesn't recruit any outsiders, especially external forces. Moreover, Flender and his group have been staying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Tai Nuo and his group have been fighting against the Spirit Hall Empire. All of this directly keeps them out of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
Yang Wudi pondered for a moment before speaking, " Podi, letting them join Heavenly Pursuit Academy is somewhat against the rules, but if they genuinely want to join our academy, as long as they comply with the rules in the future, I think there shouldn't be any problem."
Niu Gao, standing nearby, quickly spoke up, " Podi, these people have some connections with us, we can't just stand by and watch them die. See if you can make an exception for them."
Although everyone present was Titled Douluo, they understood the current strength of the Spirit Hall Empire. Without Yang Podi speaking up, probably no one would have been able to make up their minds to accept these people.
Especially now that Heavenly Pursuit Academy is extremely saturated, it has no shortage of teachers, students, or even high-level Soul Master. The entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy now has dozens of Soul Douluo- level experts, and even more Soul Master below the Soul Saint. All of this is thanks to the abundant resources provided by Yang Podi, which allows everyone from students to teachers to improve rapidly.
