Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Academy Life



While Yang Podi was meditating alone atop Mount Almo, something unusual was occurring within the academy.

At first, everyone was simply engaging in their usual cultivation, but over the past few days, they felt their cultivation speed accelerating. Some even sensed their comprehension improving as if something had changed in the heavens and the earth.

Feng Xuan, Huo Lie, Feng Xiaotian, and others observed the snowy figure atop the mountain peak from a distance, each lost in thought.

Currently, all of Heavenly Academy's senior members were in the Extreme North, leaving only these people behind.

Feng Xiaotian asked curiously, "Dad, what is His Excellency Sky Supporting Douluo doing up there? I feel no fluctuation in the surrounding soul power—it doesn't seem like he's cultivating at all."

Feng Xuan, watching Yang Podi with envy, replied, "I'm not sure. The gap between our levels is too vast. This is far beyond our understanding."

At that moment, Yang Podi opened his eyes, and the surrounding snow began to melt. The accumulated snow and ice on his body cracked and fell away.

Now, Yang Podi exuded no soul power fluctuations whatsoever, appearing completely integrated with the natural world. He had an air of simplicity and purity, as if he had returned to his original essence.

By Yang Podi's own estimation, he had touched the threshold of becoming a god, effectively entering a demigod state.

After reaching the realm of Limit Douluo, each Limit Douluo developed unique characteristics. For example, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi could command the power of the sea, while Qian Daoliu could wield the power of the sky. Similarly, Yang Podi now felt a faint connection with the natural world, suggesting he might harness the power of the heavens and the earth in the future. Even when facing Di Tian, he believed he could hold his own. As long as Di Tian didn't use the Dragon God Claw, Yang Podi was confident he could even defeat him.

As Yang Podi descended from the mountain peak, everyone bowed deeply in respect.

Yang Podi merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment and prepared to leave. In his eyes, these so-called geniuses no longer held much value.

However, Ning Rongrong suddenly asked, "Big Brother Yang, what level are you at now? It feels like I can't sense your aura at all."

Yang Podi smiled faintly. "You little girl, once you reach the realm of a Title Douluo, you might begin to understand my current level."

Feng Xiaotian quickly interjected, "Your Excellency, now that we're part of Heavenly Academy, could you give us some guidance in our cultivation?"

Yang Podi looked at Feng Xiaotian. This version of Feng Xiaotian was quite different from the one in the original story; at least he didn't exhibit the same sycophantic tendencies.

Moreover, since joining Heavenly Academy, these young people had been training diligently. Feng Xiaotian, in particular, had already reached the Soul Emperor level.

In the original story, Feng Xiaotian was a rather extreme case. At 24, he was only at rank 45, a prime example of wasted talent. Yet, in just five years, he advanced to the Soul Emperor level, demonstrating a speed comparable to that of the Shrek Seven Devils after consuming immortal herbs.

Considering that the others present were also members of Heavenly Academy, offering them some guidance wouldn't be an issue.

Yang Podi finally spoke, "Perhaps you think my progress is fast, or that the members of Heavenly Academy are a group of monsters, with talents far beyond ordinary people."

"But you're wrong. To improve quickly, talent, effort, opportunities, methods, and resources are all indispensable."

"In terms of talent, you're no worse than Yang Ping'an and the others. Regarding innate soul power, aside from Tianyue, the others in his group only started with rank seven innate soul power. But over the years, through rigorous training using my methods and constantly pushing their limits, they've achieved what they have today."

"Over the years, none of them have slacked off for even a moment. The resources they've consumed in medicinal baths alone would be unimaginable to most. Moreover, every one of their soul rings was meticulously chosen, each pushing the limits of their capacity."

Hearing Yang Podi's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Feng Xiaotian, still puzzled, asked, "But I've also absorbed spirit rings at the maximum limits of their ages, and each one was chosen to suit my martial soul. Why haven't I achieved the same results?"

Yang Podi sighed and shook his head before explaining, "The so-called limits of spirit ring absorption that you follow are based on the guidelines created by Yu Xiaogang. While they aren't entirely wrong, they're incomplete."

"The maximum age of spirit rings that each person can absorb varies depending on factors such as their physical condition, the strength of their martial soul, and their personal endurance. Yu Xiaogang's table is tailored to ordinary soul masters, but for someone like you with innate full soul power, it's actually inaccurate."

"I've subjected Yang Ping'an and his group to incredibly rigorous physical training since they were young, combined with the best medicinal baths in the world. This has significantly enhanced their endurance, allowing them to absorb spirit rings that far exceed conventional limits."

"Of course, this process is long and grueling, requiring immense pain, effort, and personal insight."

"You should recall Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei from Heaven Dou Academy's first team. They were the same age as Niu Mang, with identical levels of innate soul power. When they left Heaven Dou Academy's second team, their strengths were similar. But now, the gap between them is immense."

At this point, Shui Bing'er spoke up. "Your Excellency, does this apply to all soul masters? Even ones like me with martial souls that have flaws?"

Yang Podi smiled. "Every martial soul is alive, with its own consciousness. Take your Ice Phoenix martial soul, for example. While it may have some flaws, being a phoenix-type martial soul, it's already among the pinnacle of beast martial souls. These flaws can be mitigated through the right spirit rings."

"If every one of your spirit rings has ice attributes and phoenix bloodline, and you absorb them beyond the standard limits, you should be able to compensate for your Ice Phoenix's inherent flaws—at least before you reach rank 70."

"You've probably heard of Yu Xiaogang. His martial soul is Luo San Pao. But in reality, his true martial soul should have been the Golden Sacred Dragon. The Golden Iron Triangle was formed around his martial soul Fusion. Unfortunately, his martial soul was incomplete, preventing him from fully awakening his bloodline. If his first two spirit rings had been from spirit beasts with Golden Sacred Dragon bloodlines—or if he had used other methods to strengthen his Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline—his achievements would have far surpassed that of a mere Soul Grandmaster."

Everyone thought about Yu Xiaogang's martial soul and recalled their own experiences absorbing spirit rings. Their expressions turned strange.

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's expression grew serious. "Big Brother Yang, based on what you're saying, how can we compensate for the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Yang Podi pondered for a moment before responding, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is already an exceptional martial soul. Its high quality makes its flaws more difficult to overcome compared to ordinary martial souls."

"Being a gem-type martial soul, it should be considered earth-attribute. If you were to select top-tier earth-attribute spirit beasts for every spirit ring, you might have a chance to overcome its limitations."

"However, given that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda requires seven different spirit rings to enhance various attributes, finding suitable top-tier earth-attribute spirit beasts will be extremely challenging. For example, for your second ring to increase speed and your third to enhance soul power, finding earth-attribute spirit beasts of such specific types is extraordinarily rare."

"If you could find spirit beasts like Earth Dragons or even an Earth Dragon King, their essence would greatly enhance your martial soul. Among all spirit beasts, dragon-type beasts possess the most powerful bloodlines. Absorbing dragon-attribute spirit rings could also provide significant benefits."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened. Earth Dragons were top-tier soul beasts, and no one had seen one in countless years.

Ning Rongrong seemed a bit dejected. "Big Brother Yang, is there no other way?"

Yang Podi slightly shook his head. "There are, of course, other ways, but the higher the grade of the martial soul, the harder it is to improve it further. If you can obtain a full set of high-year-limit, perfectly matched earth-attribute soul bones or gemstone-type soul bones, there's still some hope. Alternatively, you can look for some rare heavenly treasures."

After saying this, Yang Podi didn't bother with Ning Rongrong's disappointed expression and turned to the others. "That's all for today. I'll likely be staying at the academy for a while. If you have any questions, you're welcome to come and ask me, but try not to disturb my cultivation time."

With that, Yang Podi left directly. As for the three elemental academies that had just joined, giving them some guidance was fine, but he certainly wouldn't invest too much into them.

In the days that followed, Yang Podi lived a relatively leisurely life. He occasionally gave pointers to those who came to ask for advice. For most of his time, though, he simply ate and rested. Sometimes, he wandered around the inner grounds of Heavenly Academy, and occasionally, on a whim, he even taught a few lessons to the students there, if only to pass the time.

Of course, he also occasionally teased a few of the young beauties, indulging in some lighthearted moments amidst his otherwise idle routine.

According to Yang Podi's calculations, the group heading to the extreme north to obtain spirit rings would need at least a month. Both Snow Empress and Ice Empress were likely hiding very well, which would make locating them a challenge. This would also be a good opportunity to test whether Yang Tianyue had sufficient wisdom and decision-making capability.

However, only a few days had passed before his peaceful life was interrupted.

One day, while Yang Podi was resting, Huo Wushuang came to inform him, saying that a guest had arrived, and it would be best if Yang Podi personally went to greet them.

Seeing Yang Podi's puzzled expression, Huo Wushuang had to explain, "Your Grace, the guest this time is a Titled Douluo. My father and the others feel somewhat pressured hosting him and don't dare to make any decisions, so they would like to request that you come and take a look."

Yang Podi extended his senses slightly and indeed detected the presence of a Titled Douluo. Judging by the aura, it was likely Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Yang Podi felt a wave of confusion. The Spirit Empire had just been established, and Chrysanthemum Douluo should be busy. Why would he take the time to travel so far to Almo Mountain?
