Chapter 232: The Aftermath of the Battle
With the battle at Tianxing Academy coming to an end, news of Yang Podi spread throughout the world.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Ning Rongrong sat together, seemingly falling into silence.
Ning Fengzhi spoke after a long pause: "Uncle Jian, what level of strength do you think Yang Podi possesses? Is he truly capable of fighting against Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall?"
Sword Douluo shook his head: "The difference between level 98 and level 99 is enormous. My father was also level 98, but when he fought against Qian Daoliu, Qian Daoliu blocked nine of my father's Killing Word Techniques in a row, which ultimately led to my father's defeat and death."
"The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is a rare god-level Martial Soul in the entire Douluo Continent. In terms of Martial Soul quality, it even surpasses the Clear Sky Hammer. Yang Podi's Martial Soul is still somewhat different, and he will probably have a hard time defeating Qian Daoliu. However, given Yang Podi's age, surpassing Qian Daoliu should be just a matter of time."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought. On the entire Douluo Continent, the only one whose strength was close to that of Qian Daoliu was Yang Podi. However, Yang Podi was clearly unyielding and did not make enemies with anyone except for matters concerning his own family. If it weren't for the Haotian Sect's excessive pressure this time, Yang Podi probably wouldn't have revealed his strength.
However, Ning Fengzhi suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Rongrong, who was standing beside him, "Rongrong, you've been playing with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan lately. What level have Yang Podi's former members of the Tiandou Second Team reached now?"
Ning Rongrong simply shook her head: "I don't know exactly what level of strength they have reached, but their strength is extremely formidable. Once, during a battle of spirits, although they didn't display their spirit rings, I provided them with support, and they drained my spirit power in an instant."
Ning Fengzhi became more serious at this point: "It's only been a little over five years since the Soul Master Competition. Yang Podi has risen from level 67 to level 98, and the others have probably improved quite a bit as well. It's possible that the strength of Tianxing Academy that we've seen this time is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Rongrong, what do you think of Tianxing Academy?"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment before speaking: "Dad, I don't know why, but I feel that the cultivation speed at Tianxing Academy is much faster than in other places, and I am also very happy to be with Sister Lingling and the others."
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but say, "Rongrong, we're leaving soon. If you want to stay at Tianxing Academy, then stay here."
Sword Douluo, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised when he heard this, but seeing that Rongrong was quite happy, he didn't say anything.
Ning Fengzhi continued, "Uncle Jian, who was the one who rescued Tang Xiao and Tang Hao in the end? There shouldn't be any experts of that level in the world."
Sword Douluo shook his head: "Yang Podi's last move could basically kill Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and could even break Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer. To block this move, one would probably need to be at least level 99. The last person to arrive must have the strength of level 99."
Ning Fengzhi was a little puzzled: "Logically speaking, only Tang Chen should have saved Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. But with Tang Chen's strength and status, there is no need for him to hide. Moreover, this battle is related to the reputation of the Haotian Sect. If it were Tang Chen, he should have shown his face."
"Tang Chen's martial soul is also the Clear Sky Hammer, so how come it has a black dragon claw?"
"It seems there are still unknown masters in this world. The Haotian Sect's strength is probably beyond our imagination."
After Ning Rongrong left, Sword Douluo seemed a little puzzled: "Feng Zhi, Rongrong is, after all, the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It's not really appropriate for her to stay at Tianxing Academy."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Among the young people of this generation, only Tang San and a few others from Tianxing Academy are truly outstanding. Rather than letting Rongrong go to Tiandou Royal Academy or manage sect affairs, it's better to let her cultivate here in peace. This can also be seen as finding a way out for Rongrong, and avoiding harassment from others."
Others: ...
At the same time, Xue Qinghe said to Ghost Douluo, "Ghost Douluo, quickly return to the Spirit Hall and tell my grandfather and that woman about today's battle, so that they can prepare in advance."
"Also, who was the person who last appeared and rescued Tang Hao and Tang Xiao? Could it have been Tang Chen?"
Ghost Douluo shook his head: "The last person's strength has exceeded our imagination. He is probably a master at the Grand Elder level."
Xue Qinghe thought for a long time before speaking again: "You should go back to the Spirit Hall first. Also, keep an eye on Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's situation. They are already seriously injured. Perhaps this is a rare opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Ghost Douluo quietly left the room, clearly wanting to inform Pope Bibi Dong and Grand Elder Qian Daoliu as soon as possible, since Yang Podi had become one of the biggest obstacles to the Spirit Hall's unification of the world.
Near Tiandou City, a dark figure flashed by; it was Di Tian leading Tang San and his group.
As a Limit Douluo, Di Tian was extremely fast; covering a mere three or four thousand kilometers took him only half a day.
Di Tian put Tang San and his group down. Tang Hao was still unconscious, while Tang Xiao, though seriously injured, could barely maintain his senses.
Tang San quickly helped Tang Hao up, and when he saw Tang Hao's severed arm and extremely painful expression, his eyes almost spit fire.
Despite his injuries, Tang Xiao bowed to Di Tian and said, "Thank you for saving me, senior. May I ask your name so that we can repay you in the future?"
Di Tian ignored Tang Xiao and instead spoke to Tang San beside him: "You are Tang San? I am Di Tian. I have only come to rescue you on someone's behalf. We are already near your Clear Sky Sect's headquarters. There should be three Title Douluo in the Clear Sky Sect who can ensure your safety."
Seeing Di Tian looking at him, Tang San quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me, senior. May I ask which friend entrusted you with this task?"
Di Tian shook his head: "My friend will meet you in a while. Also, you'd better be careful in the future, and try not to provoke people you shouldn't."
Tang San seemed a little puzzled: "Senior Di Tian, with your strength, you should be above Yang Podi, so you shouldn't need to be afraid of him at all. Why didn't you just finish him off earlier?"
Di Tian merely snorted coldly: "What do you know? This Yang Podi didn't even use his full strength just now. If he really used his full strength, he would probably only be slightly inferior to me. Moreover, if I really fought him, none of you would survive."
"Tang San, remember this: only the strength you gain through your own hard work truly belongs to you. Before you have the strength, it's best not to provoke those you shouldn't provoke, otherwise, you might not be so lucky next time."
After saying that, Di Tian left immediately, preparing to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San carried Tang Hao on his back, and Titan carried Tang Xiao on his back. The three of them quickly returned to the Clear Sky Sect.
When the five people returned to Haotian Sect, the three elders were stunned when they saw the miserable condition of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. You know, with the strength of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, there should be very few people in the world who can hurt them like this.
Tang Xiao simply shook his head slightly: "This time when we went to Tianxing Academy, we clashed with them. After a fierce battle, Hao Di and I were no match for them and were seriously injured. If it weren't for someone helping us, we would probably be dead."
The Second Elder seemed puzzled: "Sect Master, although Yang Wudi and the others are strong in combat, they are only newly promoted Title Douluo. Their soul power level shouldn't be high. How could they have injured you and Tang Hao like this? Besides, didn't you go with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe? Where are they?"
Tang Xiao sighed: "This time it was a conflict between us and Tianxing Academy. Yang Podi of Tianxing Academy is already level 98. Even if Hao Di and I joined forces, we were no match for him."
"As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family, neither of them participated in the war, probably because they didn't want to offend the Heavenly Journey Academy too much."
Following that, Tang Xiao described the course of the battle in detail, especially Yang Podi's combat power and spirit rings. He didn't mention the reason for the conflict or the fact that Yang Podi gave away the Earth Origin Fruit. He only said that the conflict occurred because Tianxing Academy was unwilling to return to Haotian Sect. Tang Xiao said this mainly to prevent the people of Haotian Sect from ostracizing Tang San and Tang Hao.
Upon hearing Tang Xiao's words, Tang Lie couldn't help but fly into a rage: "What exactly are the Po Clan and the Yu Clan trying to do? Just because they don't want to return to the Haotian Sect, they've injured the Sect Master and Tang Hao like this! They're so ungrateful! And what's the situation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family? Weren't they supposed to be allies? Why is this their attitude at this crucial moment?"
After hearing these words, Tang Xiao and the others could only remain silent. They couldn't very well say that all of this was caused by Tang San's infiltration of Tianxing Academy.
The Second Elder, however, looked grave. “Sect Master, I’m afraid our Clear Sky Sect won’t have an easy time from now on. We’ve already offended the Spirit Hall, and now we’ve made such a powerful enemy. Especially, according to what you said, Yang Podi is only twenty-five years old, but his soul power is already at level ninety-eight. I’m afraid he’ll break through to level ninety-nine in a few years. At that time, he’ll probably come after our Clear Sky Sect.”
"Sect Master, although Yang Wudi and Niu Gao are rather domineering, they are still reasonable people. Moreover, their Po Yi Clan and Yu Yi Clan have been protected by our Haotian Sect for many years, and they have received our kindness. Even if what our Haotian Sect did back then was a bit inappropriate, it shouldn't have come to the point of irreconcilable enmity. I wonder if the two sides can still resolve their enmity now, or even just live in peace with them."
Tang Xiao fell silent again upon hearing this. This conflict was purely provoked by the Haotian Sect, and now it would be much more difficult to negotiate again. Especially with Yang Podi's strength, he would probably surpass his grandfather Tang Chen in the future. If he came knocking on their door then, the Haotian Sect would likely face annihilation.
Finally, Tang Xiao spoke up: "Let's not worry about that for now. We are now allied with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so the Heavenly Path Academy should not target us for the time being. The most important task now is to heal Brother Hao's injury. Brother Hao lost an arm this time, and I'm afraid his future strength will be severely damaged."
"Besides, the strongest force in the Soul Master world right now is the Spirit Hall. They should be even more wary of Yang Podi and Tianxing Academy. Let's just wait and see what these two forces do next."
After hearing this, the Second Elder nodded silently. The most important thing now was indeed the injuries of the Sect Master and Tang Hao. These were the two strongest people in the Clear Sky Sect and the true foundation of the sect. As for other matters, they could be dealt with later. If things really didn't work out, they could simply go back to seclusion. The Breaking Clan and the Controlling Clan shouldn't be so ruthless, otherwise they would be condemned by the Soul Master world.
Tang San silently took care of his father, Tang Hao, while recalling Di Tian's words. Never before had he craved strength and the desire to avenge this humiliation as much as he did now.
As for the reason for all this, Tang San never felt that he had done anything wrong, after all, he had done this kind of thing often in both his past and present lives.
