Chapter 101 The Eve of Departure
It is unknown how much time passed before Yang Podi slowly regained consciousness.
Yang Podi was still in the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but now he felt very peaceful, unlike when he first entered.
The red hot spring no longer had the fiery heat of the past; instead, it was like a regular hot spring. The blue hot spring was no longer as icy as before; it was just like ordinary ice water.
Upon seeing this, Yang Podi became extremely excited, as the Ice and Fire Body Refinement he had been longing for had finally been completed.
Immediately afterwards, in Yang Podi's mind, there was still a giant holding the Soul-Breaking Spear, but the giant had undergone earth-shattering changes. The entire giant's body had turned silver-white, making it appear powerful and even ferocious.
Finally, I've achieved a second Silver-level awakening of my original martial soul. From now on, I will no longer fear anyone.
Whether it's ice immunity, fire immunity, or poison immunity, it will make one's own martial soul more powerful. Moreover, through ice and fire body tempering, one's physical foundation will be incredibly solid, and future development prospects will be even greater.
Meanwhile, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang was extremely nervous. Ever since Yang Podi swallowed the two immortal herbs, he seemed to have become abnormal. The two soul bones were revealed without any warning, and then he jumped directly into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
It should be known that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well contains powerful fire and ice attribute energy. Even as a quasi-titled Douluo, I dare not get too close. If I rashly enter the well, I might be in danger.
Fortunately, I could always sense the life force and soul power fluctuations in the spring water; otherwise, it would have been a real problem.
Yang Podi stayed in the spring for three whole days. When he woke up, both his physical strength and soul power seemed to have reached their peak. No wonder Tang San used ice and fire to temper his body in the original story. Indeed, tempering the body with ice and fire makes the body stronger and can also create the foundation for becoming a god.
When Yang Podi emerged from the eyes of ice and fire, his clothes had long since turned to ashes, revealing the tail bone of the Golden Crocodile King and the wings of the Tiger Eagle.
But both seem to have become more powerful.
After this tempering of ice and fire, the length of the Golden Crocodile King's tail soul bone has increased significantly. It was originally about 2 meters long, but now it has increased to 3 meters. More importantly, both its hardness and sharpness have improved considerably, and it should have officially entered the level of a ten-thousand-year soul bone.
The wings of the tiger eagle have also changed a lot. Originally, each wing was about two meters long, but now they are estimated to be three meters long. Judging from the situation, the age of the soul bone should have exceeded 3 years.
More importantly, after this ice and fire tempering, the Tiger Eagle Wings have completely integrated with the body, making them more agile to use. Moreover, the Tiger Eagle Wings, originally silver-gray, have turned silver-white after the ice and fire tempering, and have even developed a slight connection with its original martial soul.
Yang Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Podi emerge safely from the spring. However, upon closer inspection of his grandson, he noticed his impressive height and muscular physique, especially his two external soul bones, which were truly enviable.
After Yang Podi emerged, he carefully observed the changes in his body, seemingly having achieved all his goals. However, he felt something was amiss, especially after seeing his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang. He then realized that he wasn't wearing any clothes. At his age, he was still naked in front of his second grandfather.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi quickly went to his soul tool, took out a new set of clothes and changed into them.
After Yang Podi changed his clothes, his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, finally spoke: "Podi, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Second Grandfather, I feel that I am in very good health now, and I am stronger than ever before. Even my strength and physical recovery ability are much stronger."
"Not bad, thank goodness you're alright. The power of the spring water in this Yin-Yang Well is really frightening. I wouldn't dare to approach it if anything happened to you."
Yang Wushuang still seemed uneasy, so she pulled Yang Podi aside and carefully examined his body. Only after confirming that there were no problems did she feel truly relieved.
"Second Grandfather, how long has it been since I took the elixir?"
Yang Wushuang still seemed a little scared: "You stayed in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for three whole days this time. If I hadn't sensed the fluctuations in your soul power, I would have called your father to come and collect your body."
"Second Grandfather, it's not that dangerous. I'm perfectly fine. There's absolutely no need to worry."
"You brat, don't do such dangerous things again. Even if you want to become stronger, the family has other ways. There's no need to risk your life."
"Po Di, you're already level 50, and your physical abilities have become even stronger after consuming the immortal herb to refine your body. How about we look for a spirit ring in Sunset Forest?"
Yang Podi thought for a while before speaking: "Second Grandfather, aren't you going to the Star Dou Great Forest recently? I'd like to go with you."
Yang Wushuang asked doubtfully, "We're going to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, where there are only soul beasts that are 5 to 8 years old. But it's too dangerous there. It would be extremely dangerous for a quasi-Soul King like you to go. And that world isn't even something a Soul Master of your level can access."
"But I want to find some powerful and rare soul beasts, preferably dragon-attribute soul beasts. There are many more soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and I have more choices."
"You brat, where in this world are there really that many dragon-attribute soul beasts?"
After some discussion, the two decided not to hunt for spirit rings for now, but to return directly to the Broken Clan, and to deal with other matters later.
After returning home, Yang Podi planned to relax for a few days. After all, he still needed to make some preparations for going to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Whether it was inviting people or other things, it would take some time.
In the past few days, Yang Podi has also been training his younger sister Yang Tianyue at home.
It has to be said that Yang Tianyue, the younger sister, is truly talented; she deserves to have innate full soul power.
Yang Tianyue is six years younger than me, and is only nine years old now, but her soul power is increasing at a rapid pace. Judging from this rate of increase, she will probably reach level 30 or above when she is 12 years old, which should be similar to my own rate of increase.
Keep in mind that she didn't absorb any immortal herbs or absorb any soul rings beyond her level. As expected, her innate full soul power increases very quickly.
Given the speed at which Yang Tianyue's soul power is increasing, she might be able to participate in the next Soul Master Competition, and by then she might even reach the level of a high-level Soul Venerable.
As for the immortal herb, Yang Podi and his father had already agreed that it would be given to him only after the next Soul Master Competition. The external soul bone of the Earth Demon Bear would be absorbed when he reached the Soul Master level.
Especially recently, when she was at home, Yang Tianyue kept dragging her to have matches, and she even made her suppress her soul power to compete with her in spear fighting.
However, this little girl's Soul-Shattering Spear Technique was quite good. Although she suffered repeated defeats, her spear technique was becoming somewhat respectable. Moreover, her style of action was completely unlike that of a girl; she was more like a little warrior. This made Yang Podi wonder: Are all the disciples of the Po Clan battle maniacs? Even his own sister is so violent at such a young age.
Every time Yang Tianyue lost, she was particularly unconvinced: "Brother, can you please not use such a heavy gun? With such a heavy gun, I have no way to fight you."
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle: "Tian Yue, don't your enemies adapt their fighting style to your needs? I use a heavy spear because I'm used to it and feel it's more powerful. Do you expect a strength-type Soul Master to reduce their power when fighting you?"
"I don't care, you're my brother, so you have to do as I say and fight me with a lighter gun."
Looking at his spoiled younger sister, Yang Podi felt only joy, without any dislike or disgust, after all, she was his family.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi took a relatively light gun that Yang Tianyue had personally selected and continued to compete with her in marksmanship. As before, Yang Tianyue was defeated in less than half an incense stick's time.
The little girl was speechless for a moment: "Brother, you cheated. Your marksmanship was much faster than before."
Yang Podi couldn't help but pat Yang Tianyue's head: "Of course, the speed will be faster with the light Soul-Breaking Spear. Even if I use the heavy spear, I can still use it faster."
"The weight of a spear is not just a personal choice, Tianyue. If you really want to practice better spear skills, I suggest you practice with a heavy spear. That way, when you switch back to the light Soul-Breaking Spear, you will be more flexible in using it."
After some instruction, whether the little girl understood or not, she seemed to become more diligent in her training, and she would practice with a heavy spear from time to time.
Yang Podi felt quite good watching his younger sister grow up day by day.
About five days later, the two grandfathers were almost ready, and everyone had arrived. They were all ready to head to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The group that went to the Star Dou Great Forest included his two grandfathers, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and his maternal grandfather Niu Gao, plus Yang Podi himself, making a total of 5 people. His father stayed at the family headquarters to prevent any accidents from happening.
As for Titan of the Power Clan and White Crane of the Agility Clan, they are both only Soul Douluo at the moment. Even if they went to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, they wouldn't be of much help, so they were not invited.
Especially since the two of them still seem to have some lingering ties with the Clear Sky Sect, it might not be so easy to sever those ties. It's best not to tell the Breaking Clan about the simultaneous emergence of two Title Douluos for now.
However, when Dugu Bo and his maternal grandfather Niu Gao heard that Yang Podi was also going to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, they were both amused.
In particular, Grandpa Niu Gao spoke up: "Po Di, you're so young and you want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Do you want me to carry you? Don't worry, I can definitely guarantee your safety."
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat gloomy: "Yang Podi, I heard that you are the captain of my granddaughter's team, and all the training is designed by you. My granddaughter hasn't been home much lately, and every time she comes home, she complains endlessly. This is all your fault."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi was immediately shocked: "Grandpa Dugu, you can't blame me for this. After my training, Sister Yan's strength has obviously improved a lot. She is now a high-level Soul Venerable."
Dugu Bo nodded: "Your training has improved quite well, but as a grandfather, I can't bear to see my granddaughter suffer like this. Tell me, how should I make it up to my Yanzi?"
"Grandpa Dugu, you should have seen Sister Yan's improvement. Isn't this enough to compensate her?"
"Kid, your little tricks might fool others, but they won't fool me. What good medicinal bath recipes could those useless guys from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy possibly have? You probably added something to it."
"Isn't this good for Sister Yan? I estimate that by the next Soul Master Competition, Sister Yan will be able to reach the advanced Soul Master level, and may even be able to challenge the Soul King level."
Yang Podi was absolutely telling the truth. A year ago, Dugu Yan was already level 36, Yang Ping'an was already level 35, and even Ye Lingling was level 33.
It can be said that both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling have improved much faster than in the original work.
Based on the current development, by the time the next Soul Master Competition begins, Dugu Yan and Yang Ping'an will both be at least high-level Soul Masters, and breaking through to Soul King is not out of the question.
Of course, given their talent, they might encounter a bottleneck before breaking through to Soul King, or even before breaking through to Soul Master. But even if their cultivation is slow, reaching the high-level Soul Master stage should be no problem.
