After Yang Podi finished explaining everything, the afternoon training began.
Since Dugu Yan trained with Yang Podi a few times, she had gotten used to carrying weights, and Ye Lingling also chose the smallest weight, 5 kilograms, and ran with weights along with everyone else.
Teacher Li Xiang assisted in supervision and observed everyone's physical condition.
After an afternoon of exercise, almost everyone was exhausted, especially Ye Lingling, who was so weak that she collapsed on the ground, completely losing her ladylike demeanor.
The afternoon's training session was now over. Teacher Li Xiang arranged for everyone to take a medicinal bath, especially the two girls, who were practically carried by Teacher Li Xiang.
The medicinal bath lasted only one hour, and after that, everyone had recovered their energy.
Niu Meng, Tai Long, Bai Xiaofei, and Ye Lingling were all experiencing this level of intense training for the first time. During the medicinal bath, they all felt that every pore was clear and open, as if they had never felt so comfortable before.
After the medicinal bath, the eight of them went to the cafeteria of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a big meal, which would both maintain their energy and ensure nutrition. Inside the cafeteria, the group wolfed down their food like refugees, which shocked the group of noble children next to them. Many people even pointed and whispered about the seven of them, making Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling blush.
After dinner, everyone had their own time. Niu Meng, Tai Long, and Bai He, whose Soul Power was still relatively low, went to cultivate in their own suitable simulated environments. Teacher Li, on the other hand, left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Yang Podi, Yang Ping'an, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is only 20 kilometers away from Heaven Dou City, a journey of just over half an hour by carriage, and even shorter by riding Soul Beast Horse.
The five people arrived at the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena by carriage. For four of them, it was their first time participating in Soul Fighting. However, all four had certain family backgrounds and were quite familiar with the Soul Fighting Arena.
Under Teacher Li Xiang's guidance, all four of them registered as members of the Soul Fighting Arena and also signed up, providing information such as name, age, place of birth, and Martial Soul.
When it came to filling in their ages, everyone wrote their ages a few years older than expected. Yang Podi wrote his age as 20, and the others generally wrote their ages as around 20 as well.
After registration, all four received an Iron Soul Fighter Medal.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, no one uses their own name; instead, they all have corresponding titles.
Yang Podi directly chose the title "White Horse Silver Spear," Yang Ping'an's title is "Spear Breaks the World," Dugu Yan's title is "Jade Phosphor Poison Emperor," and Ye Lingling's title is "Undying Begonia." The titles chosen by the four individuals are all in line with their personalities and Martial Soul characteristics.
At the same time, Yang Podi also formed two-person teams with the other three. Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an formed the Soul Breaking Twin Spears Combination, Yang Podi and Dugu Yan formed the Jade Phosphor Soul Breaking Combination, and Yang Podi and Ye Lingling formed the Soul Breaking Begonia Combination.
According to Yang Podi's plan, he needs to participate in one one-on-one Soul Fighting every day, and then at least one two-on-two Soul Fighting. Who he fights with will depend on the specific situation of the day.
Yang Ping'an and Dugu Yan Yanren had to participate in at least one Soul Fighting every day, while Ye Lingling only needed to participate in two-person Soul Fighting and was also responsible for the healing of everyone.
Teacher Li Xiang was responsible for various information gathering, preparations before the Soul Fighting, and battle analysis after the Soul Fighting. For a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, these were all very simple tasks.
Soon it was Yang Podi's match time. Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something, so he took out 10,000 Gold Soul Coin and gave them to Teacher Li Xiang, asking Teacher Li Xiang to help him bet on his victory.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi entered the arena through the players' passage. It was a fairly large arena, tens of meters long and wide, and the entire stands were almost full, densely packed with people. The size of this venue was much larger than the so-called football and basketball stadiums of his previous life, and it was estimated that tens of thousands of people were watching.
Especially after the two competitors entered the arena, an overwhelming cheer erupted, far more spectacular than any so-called concert in my previous life.
In the Soul Fighting Competition, few people show their true faces directly; they almost always wear masks. Yang Podi also wears a silver-white mask, which makes it impossible for people to tell his actual age.
After Yang Podi and his companion entered the arena, the host began to introduce them, "Now entering the arena is the White Horse Silver Spear, a Soul Elder Soul Power of Level 35, whose Martial Soul is the Martial Soul- Soul Breaking Spear. His record is 0, and today is his first Soul Fighting match." Yang Podi's image, along with information about his Martial Soul and Soul Power Level, immediately appeared on the big screen.
"The other opponent is the King of Strength, a Soul Elder Soul Power level of 38 and the Martial Soul Mighty Savage Bull. His record is 28 wins and 11 losses."
Both sides have one minute to prepare and summon their Martial Soul.
As he uttered these words, Yang Podi summoned his Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear, which simultaneously displayed two yellow and one purple Soul Ring.
The opponent on the other side appeared to be very tall, nearly two meters, and had an exaggeratedly muscular physique, clearly indicating exceptional strength.
Suddenly, the opposing King of Strength contestant also Martial Soul Possession, with a giant phantom of Mighty Savage Bull covering his body, and two yellow and one purple Soul Ring appearing simultaneously.
A minute passed quickly, and the host continued, "Both sides are ready, the match officially begins."
The moment the match began, Yang Podi gripped the Soul Breaking Spear with both hands and charged towards the opponent, clearly intending to launch a preemptive attack.
The opposing player, known as the King of Strength," seemed to share the same sentiment and quickly charged towards Yang Podi, preparing for a strong attack.
As the two drew near, Yang Podi gripped his spear with both hands and thrust it forward horizontally, concentrating all his strength on the spear tip—his signature move: Strike Straight at the Yellow Dragon.
The opposing player seemed to understand the power of this move as well, and immediately clenched his fists, his second Yellow Soul Ring flashing, which was his Second Soul Skill: Savage Bull Charge.
Immediately afterward, the tip of the spear collided with the opponent's fist. Yang Podi himself remained unmoved, while a large stab wound appeared on the opponent's fist. In just one move, the opponent was already injured.
The King of Strength contestant seemed very surprised. Among Soul Elder of the same level, almost no one could surpass him in strength. The opponent had actually injured him without even using Soul Skill.
Yang Podi didn't care about any of that. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent was distracted, he gripped his gun with both hands and thrust it directly into the air. A silver light appeared at the tip of the gun and shot towards the opponent. Before the opponent could react, a piercing wound had been created on his left shoulder, and blood gushed out immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi leaped up again and Sweep Away a Thousand Troops on him. The King of Strength contestant was clearly unwilling to accept defeat, and this time he activated his Third Soul Skill: the Savage Bull's Strength, which was obviously also a power-amplifying Soul Skill.
However, due to his pre-existing injuries—his hands and shoulder were stabbed—the effectiveness of his Soul Skill was greatly reduced.
The King of Strength contestant's fists collided with Yang Podi's gun. He felt an immense force coming from his fists, far exceeding his expectations. He was ultimately sent flying by this force and immediately lost consciousness.
And so, Yang Podi's first Soul Fighting Battle ended. Without using a single Soul Skill, he directly knocked away a level 38 Soul Elder from the opponent's side, sending him flying out of the arena.
The entire stadium fell silent, followed by a deafening roar of cheers.
In high-level Soul Elder Soul Fighting battles, there are very few matches this fast, and even if there are, there are very few matches won so decisively.
