Chapter 135 On the Eve of the Soul Master Competition
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were all looking at the two letters with very gloomy expressions.
Finally, Ning Fengzhi spoke up: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, this is an unprecedented crisis for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We must immediately find out who sent these two letters."
"This person is clearly very familiar with the information of our three upper sects, and even with some of the things we are preparing to do. Judging from the current situation, our strength alone is not enough to fight against the Spirit Hall. We must bring the other two major sects into the fray, especially the Clear Sky Sect. They have been hiding for more than ten years and need to step forward."
"Furthermore, if possible, this person may have sent more than just these two letters. We need to know information about other letters in order to take appropriate measures."
Bone Douluo also spoke up in a somber tone: "Feng Zhi, does this messenger have any information?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "According to the information we obtained from the various branches of the Spirit Hall, the other party is a flying spirit master, and should be a fire-attribute flying spirit master with extremely fast flying speed. He is probably at least at the Spirit Saint level or above."
Clearly, all three major powers were very interested in this messenger, but after investigation by all parties, they found no trace of him.
Even the advanced flying soul masters near Heaven Dou City were thoroughly searched by various forces, but no useful information could be found, not even a trace of them.
The Spirit Hall, in particular, has been making very frequent moves, as if a major battle is about to break out. However, all parties seem to be exercising great restraint, and no conflicts have occurred for the time being.
Yang Podi didn't care about the rumors circulating outside. According to his estimation, everyone should be looking for the person who sent the letter, but with his disguise, it would be a miracle if they could find him.
Especially the Spirit Hall, after learning the true strength of the Clear Sky Sect, I don't believe they won't be wary. In the future Soul Hunting Operation, the Clear Sky Sect will probably become one of the targets to be wiped out. That will be interesting to see.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they probably won't have the chance or time to cause trouble for me anymore; they need to take care of my safety first.
Time flies, and more than half a year has passed in no time. Yang Podi has turned nineteen. Although the entire Tiandou City region appears calm on the surface, it seems that all sorts of huge waves are hidden beneath the calm.
The biggest event in the Tiandou City region was a major battle that took place on the territory of the Power Clan.
It is said that during the great battle, the two sides fought fiercely. One side was a black-clad man wielding a hammer, and the other side was two Soul Masters wielding sticks.
According to those who witnessed the scene, the battle covered a very wide area, and could even be described as earth-shattering.
Whether it was a hammer or a stick, both sides were like a mountain, and the entire Power Clan was directly razed to the ground, with countless large craters appearing on the ground. Countless members of the Power Clan were killed or injured, and even the clan leader Titan was seriously injured.
After a fierce battle, the Soul Master who wielded the hammer fled the scene, but was relentlessly pursued by the two, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
According to Yang Podi's estimation, the Spirit Hall must have discovered Tang Hao's whereabouts and learned that he was with the Power Clan. So they sent Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo to besiege him. As a result, a great battle ensued, and Tang Hao barely managed to escape, but the Power Clan and the Tang Sect suffered a devastating blow.
Ultimately, under the cover of the white crane, the remaining members of the Power Clan moved to Tiandou City along with the members of the Agility Clan to prevent further attacks.
The Heaven Dou Empire strongly condemned the Spirit Hall, believing that the Spirit Hall disregarded peace and openly killed disciples of the Power Clan, which was far too cruel and murderous, and called on the people of the world to jointly punish it.
However, the Spirit Hall directly issued a message: the Power Clan openly colluded with Tang Hao, the murderer who harmed the former Pope, and actively provoked the Spirit Hall. They hoped that the Heaven Dou Empire would not protect them, otherwise the Heaven Dou Empire would also bear the wrath of the Spirit Hall.
However, after a long wrangling, nothing came of it. Clearly, neither the Spirit Hall nor the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to start a war over this, and it seems that the only one who would suffer was the Power Clan.
On the other hand, after Tang Hao returned to the waterfall, he discovered that his soul bone had been stolen, and based on various signs at the scene, it was the work of the Spirit Hall.
In the end, Tang Hao smashed several branch halls of the Spirit Hall in a fit of rage, attracting a large number of Spirit Hall personnel to attack him. Unfortunately, Tang Hao escaped on his own with his formidable strength, and there is no news about where he hid.
Of course, the news from the outside world is also very chaotic. Some reports claim that the Haotian Sect, once the number one sect in the world, plans to make a comeback in the world of soul masters and intends to join forces with the other three upper sects to overthrow the Spirit Hall.
However, after the news had been circulating for some time, neither the Haotian Sect nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect released any information, and not even a trace of the Haotian Sect could be seen.
But all of this gradually calmed down because the biggest event on the entire continent: the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Students was about to begin.
Through diligent training, everyone in Yang Podi's team has made significant progress.
Yang Podi himself reached level 67 in soul power, which is a good result, as he increased his soul power by four levels in one year.
As for the others, Yang Ping'an, who has the highest soul power, has finally broken through to the Soul King realm, and his soul power is now at level fifty-one.
As for Dugu Yan, her current soul power is at the peak of level 49. It seems she can break through at any time, but she still can't break through the last level.
Ye Lingling's soul power reached level forty-eight.
Niu Meng's soul power reached level 45.
Yang Tianyue, who made the most progress, actually increased her soul power by five levels in one year, and has now reached level thirty-eight.
As for Niu Kui and Yang Yuxuan, who were originally planned to be substitutes, after a year of hard training, they have now barely reached level 38.
In other words, the current lineup of the second team includes one Soul Emperor, one Soul King, three Soul Sect Masters, and three Soul Venerables. Dugu Yan is expected to break through to the Soul King realm before the finals. Such strength is quite unusual. The team's highest and lowest Soul Power is 29 levels apart.
Surprisingly, aside from pursuing Tang Hao, the Spirit Hall did nothing else. They neither targeted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor clashed with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Clear Sky Sect, and they didn't even disband the Heaven Dou Team.
Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, seemed to be much busier and hadn't come looking for him again.
Moreover, for some reason, Team Tiandou gave up their direct advancement spot and instead added the spot to the Tiandou region.
The Tian Dou region originally had 28 teams competing for the top five, but now it has been changed to 29 teams competing for the top six.
The strength of Team Tiandou exceeded everyone's expectations; they actually assembled a full lineup of Soul Masters, especially Tang San, whose strength was astonishing, reaching level 45.
Yang Podi was particularly curious about this. Even in the original story, Tang San, after consuming the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom and cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a long time, only barely managed to break through to level forty-one or forty-two.
Now he's actually four levels higher. Could it be that Tang Sanli has had some kind of extraordinary encounter?
To increase soul power so quickly, Tang San would need to absorb a soul ring for the Clear Sky Hammer in advance. However, neither Tang Hao nor Yu Xiaogang would allow him to do something so counterproductive.
However, the soul power levels of the others were not particularly impressive; they only made simple progress, and could even be described as somewhat lackluster.
Yang Podi carefully observed Tang San and found that Tang San's blood was boiling and his body even had a slight rosy glow, which was obviously because he had eaten something very nourishing.
Yang Podi suddenly woke up and began to understand: Could it be that Tang San ate the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that Bai He had treasured? If so, it would not be surprising that Tang San was able to improve so much.
The team consists of seven Soul Masters: Tang San, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ning Heng, Tai Long, Bai Xiaofei, and Xiao Wu.
Indeed, the last Soul Master in the team was Xiao Wu. It's unclear what spurred her on, but she advanced to Soul Master three months earlier than in the original story. Even Yang Podi couldn't sense the aura of a Soul Beast on Xiao Wu; it seemed to be concealed by some treasure. Even Sword Douluo and his grandfather hadn't noticed.
Yang Podi secretly suspected that Xiao Wu should not be able to hide the aura of the soul beast on her body, nor should she be able to improve so quickly.
As for the acacia flower at home, Yang Podi had already taken it back from his father.
When Yang Podi asked his father for the Acacia Heartbreak Red, he thought his father would refuse. But the opposite happened. His father was pleasantly surprised and gave him the Acacia Heartbreak Red without saying a word. Moreover, there seemed to be a playful expression on his face, which made Yang Podi a little confused.
A month before the Soul Master Competition, Yang Podi gave everyone a break, and everyone returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Sometimes you might run into Yu Xiaogang and Qin Ming and Liu Erlong's group, and sometimes you might even see Flander.
Yu Xiaogang seems to be in particularly high spirits lately, his smile is almost impossible to hide, as if the championship is already in his grasp.
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. This was only the beginning. The lineup of the first team was indeed impressive, but there were still the Spirit Hall team and the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With their lineups, they were still far behind, and they might not even be able to pass the Star Luo Royal Academy team. You have to know that Zhu Zhuqing is only a Soul Master now, and Dai Mubai is several levels lower than in the original work. How could they possibly fight against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld White Tiger from the Star Luo Royal Academy team?
It should be noted that a Netherworld White Tiger at the level of a dual Soul Master is much stronger than a Netherworld White Tiger at the level of a Soul Venerable and a Soul Master. This one definitely possesses the combat power of a high-level Soul King, and may even be higher.
