Chapter 123, First Soul Skill
Chapter 123 The Sixth Soul Skill
After hearing Yang Podi's words, not only did his grandfather Yang Wudi express doubt, but the others also expressed doubt, feeling that although the Spirit Hall was domineering, it would not go so far as to destroy the major sects.
Yang Podi glanced at everyone before speaking, "Grandpa, you used to be the Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect's outer sect. Do you think that if Tang Hao hadn't happened, the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect would have gone to war?"
Grandpa Yang Wudi pondered for a while before slowly speaking: "Back then, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall had a deep conflict. They were almost always right in every aspect. Even without Tang Hao's incident, they would probably have been bitter enemies long ago."
"Grandpa, which do you think is stronger, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now or the Clear Sky School back then?"
Yang Wudi shook his head: "Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has developed rapidly in recent years and its overall strength has improved a lot, it is still far inferior to the Clear Sky School of yesteryear. No matter how much the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School develops, it only has two Title Douluos so far."
Yang Podi continued, "Since the Spirit Hall was able to attack the Clear Sky Sect back then, it can naturally attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as well. Moreover, the current Pope, Bibi Dong, is much stronger than the previous Pope, and her ambitions are probably even greater."
Yang Wudi looked at his grandson with a hint of disbelief: "Po Di, is this also the reason you've been keeping our Po clan hidden? Is this also the reason you've been trying to keep our family away from the Spirit Hall as much as possible?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "That's only one of the reasons. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family clearly want to make someone stand out. Our four single-attribute families are barely strong enough, and they want us to take the lead in opposing the Spirit Hall like the Clear Sky School did back then. They all have ill intentions."
Yang Wudi thought for a long time before speaking: "Podi, for next year's Soul Master Competition finals, I plan to go to the Spirit Hall with your maternal grandfather Niu Gao to receive the Spirit Hall's investiture. At least we will be more low-key in the future and will no longer oppose the Spirit Hall."
Yang Podi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was genuinely worried that his grandfather would be stubborn and recklessly oppose the Spirit Hall, which would bring annihilation upon the family. Even if he wanted to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall, he should at least wait ten years until he had grown up.
Yang Podi returned to his room and began to sort through his spoils. As for the 80,000-year-old golden lion king head soul bone, he decided to leave it with his grandfather for safekeeping.
To be honest, an 80,000-year-old head soul bone is already considered top-grade in the outside world. The inherited soul bones of the three upper sects in the past were probably only of this level. However, I still felt it was too low for me. After all, I have a second martial soul. If I don't get a full set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice.
This time, after absorbing the 80,000-year-old Golden Lion King Soul Ring, my Soul Power increased by three levels, and I am now at level 63, which is barely acceptable.
Yang Podi's next soul ring target is 100,000 years, and he has even almost figured out his target.
After absorbing the sixth spirit ring, the Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to have undergone a significant change. Although the spear body was still black, the spearhead had changed from its original silver-white color to a hint of gold, and the spearhead seemed to be much sharper, perhaps because the Golden Lion King was a metal elemental character.
Yang Podi even felt that if he absorbed two more metal-attribute soul beasts, his martial soul could evolve into the ultimate metal. Unfortunately, this type of soul beast was extremely rare, and it seemed that only Xiong Jun possessed the ultimate metal attribute.
The weight of the Soul-Breaking Spear itself has also increased significantly. It originally weighed 2,000 jin when it absorbed the fifth soul ring, but now it is estimated to be around 4,000 jin. I don't know if it's because of the increase in the metal attribute or the increase in the strength attribute.
Although the Soul-Shattering Spear was much heavier, it was still relatively easy to use, and he had greatly improved by absorbing the power of this top-grade soul ring. Yang Podi even felt that, in terms of strength alone, he was no weaker than a Soul Douluo.
This time, he also obtained a very good soul skill, which is called: Golden Lion Roars to Heaven.
During the use of the Soul Skill, the Soul-Breaking Spear emits a golden light, piercing directly at the opponent like a desperate strike from the Golden Lion King. It ignores defense and is accompanied by a golden lion's roar, capable of breaking through the enemy's additional attributes. The specific power is determined by the amount of Soul Power used.
Yang Podi felt that this move was not simple and had a tendency to develop towards the ultimate gold. If his Soul-Breaking Spear really evolved into the ultimate gold, this move could probably reach the realm of breaking through nothing, which would be powerful.
Moreover, there are other surprises after absorbing the spirit ring.
Both of his external soul bones seem to have undergone significant evolution. Among them, the Tiger-Eagle Wings should have exceeded 50,000 years in age, and its flight speed will become even faster. According to Yang Podi's estimation, its maximum speed effect should be much faster than that of a Soul Douluo. It's just unknown whether it can match that of a Title Douluo.
The Crocodile King Spear, a soul bone at the tail, has also reached the 30,000-year level. It seems to be even sharper, although its length is still about three meters. However, its hardness has been greatly improved. Even if it is used as a whip, it is probably not so easy to break through.
The biggest surprise was the change in the martial soul. After absorbing this soul ring, when looking into his mind, the silver giant in his mind seemed to have grown much taller, and there were even some golden patterns on the silver giant's body.
Given this situation, if one were to absorb two more spirit rings from 100,000-year-old gold-type spirit beasts, there might be a chance to awaken the gold-level spirit of one's own body. However, there are very few 100,000-year-old gold-type spirit beasts left in the entire Douluo Continent.
After resting at home for one night, Yang Podi returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Yang Podi carries a Concealing Breath Grass with him at all times, so very few people can tell his exact soul power level. At least, it's impossible to tell below the Title Douluo level, and even among ordinary Title Douluos, it would probably be the mental type that can tell.
After Yang Podi returned to the academy, something strange seemed to happen in the group; everyone seemed a little absent-minded.
After some investigation, Yang Podi realized that a lot had happened during this period.
The first thing is that, for some unknown reason, Tai Long actually had a conflict with Tang San, just like in the original story.
As a result, Tailong's soul power had reached level thirty-nine, Soul Master, and he was about to enter the Soul Sect realm, yet he was defeated by Tang San, whose soul power was lower than his.
Originally, a small win or loss wouldn't have been a problem, but for some reason, the news of Tailong being beaten reached his father Tainuo's ears. As a result, Tainuo came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cause trouble for Tang San, but was instead taught a lesson by Tang San.
Ultimately, a situation arose where the younger one was beaten, and the older one stepped in to take the lead. Titan actually came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and wanted to teach Tang San a lesson. However, under a series of gravity suppression, he forced Tang San's second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, to emerge.
When Titan saw Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer spirit, he was moved to tears. He then had a private talk with Tang San, and the final result was that Titan asked Tailong to recognize Tang San as his young master.
This melodramatic plot seems to mirror the original story. Currently, everyone in the team is in a state of panic, especially Talon himself, who is unsure whether to listen to his grandfather.
If Tailong truly acknowledges Tang San as his young master, how will his other brothers and friends view him? Will other members of the family also be pressured by their parents to acknowledge Tang San as their young master?
In short, the team is in a mess right now. The members of the four single-attribute families have mixed feelings, but Yang Ping'an and Yang Tianyue don't care. Their eldest brother is the backbone, and they just need to do everything according to his requirements. As for Tang San, who cares about him?
The second matter was that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also visited Tang San, mainly to discuss the purchase of hidden weapons. After some communication, the two sides decided that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be responsible for making various parts, and Tang San would be responsible for assembling them. Moreover, they were quite valuable, with each set costing as much as 10,000 gold coins. Ning Fengzhi was very generous and gave 5 million gold soul coins at once, directly ordering 500 sets.
It is unknown whether Ning Fengzhi also knew that Tang San's second spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer, and whether he trusted Tang San very much, and clearly stated that he would fully support Tang San.
Thirdly, Yu Xiaogang reiterated his desire to become the leader of the second team at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and he plans to bring Tang San and the others to join the team. However, there's no concrete news yet, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe hasn't responded. Nevertheless, this matter has received Ning Fengzhi's support. It's unclear what that old fox is thinking.
Because of these three major events, the team is currently in a relatively chaotic state. Everyone is worried about the addition of an unknown figure like Yu Xiaogang as the leader of the second team.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, is quite cunning. He wants to squeeze Tang San and Yu Xiaogang into the scheme, which will make it difficult for the four single-attribute families to sever ties with the Haotian Sect. In fact, it could be said that the four single-attribute families will also be unable to sever ties with the three upper sects.
The situation of the second team will be very complicated. The team members are direct descendants of the four single-attribute families, plus members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School. The team leader is the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's sect leader. No one would believe that they have no connection with the three upper sects.
However, Ning Fengzhi overlooked two things. First, he was currently the leader and captain of the second team. If he didn't give the order, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be able to come, and even if he did, it wouldn't be of much use. If all else failed, they could simply part ways, since they weren't short of soul bones anyway.
The second matter is that only Emperor Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe can truly make the decision. The biggest surprise will be the true identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. I wonder if Xue Qinghe will push the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to hell in advance once he finds out.
As for the Power Clan, someone will naturally deal with them when the time comes. What does all this have to do with me? As long as the Destruction Clan is divided up as soon as possible, I can sit back and watch the tigers fight.
If all else fails, the Broken Clan can simply move away. I refuse to believe that once we move to Hanhai City, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can still interfere with us.
What was most surprising was that Sword Douluo perfectly avoided Xiao Wu. Whether it was a coincidence or someone's arrangement, Yang Podi couldn't help but wonder if Tang Hao had also come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Sword Douluo would be attending the Soul Master Competition, and it would be really interesting if he found out that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
