Chapter 140 Seizing the Opportunity
After the match between Tiandou Team 2 and Tianshui Academy, while the audience was full of excitement, the other teams were full of serious expressions.
The Tiandou Second Team demonstrated most of their strength in this match, but even more so, they showed their unfathomable depth. Facing Tianshui Academy, which had defeated the Tiandou First Team, they were able to win so quickly, and their players didn't even suffer any injuries.
The most surprising thing about this match was the performances of Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling.
Yang Ping'an's fifth soul skill was able to withstand a Soul Master-level Martial Soul Fusion Skill and achieve a complete victory, once again refreshing everyone's imagination of combat power. In particular, the earth-shattering strike of Yang Ping'an's fifth soul skill was probably unstoppable even by Soul Kings.
Even more terrifying is Ye Lingling, whose healing ability is beyond everyone's imagination, and whose soul power level is as high as level 48. Everyone underestimated Ye Lingling.
Yu Xiaogang's face was now even more gloomy than during the arena match: "Xiao San, what do you think we can do to defeat the Heavenly Dou Team Two?"
Tang San's face was also grim: "To defeat the Heaven Dou Second Team, we must first find a way to deal with Ye Lingling. As long as Ye Lingling is still on the field, we have no way to deal with the other team members. However, Ye Lingling is always protected by someone, so it is impossible to get close to her."
"Yang Ping'an, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Niu Meng are four exceptionally capable players, and they work together seamlessly. Even if all our main players were on the field, it would be difficult for us to win."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were still somewhat relieved. Fortunately, they had recruited Tailong and Bai Xiaofei in advance; otherwise, the strength of the Tian Dou Second Team would have been even more terrifying.
As for Yang Podi, they no longer had the mind to consider him. The second team was already this strong even before Yang Podi had appeared. If Yang Podi were to appear, how strong would he be? It was beyond everyone's imagination.
Currently, Tian Dou Team 2 is ranked first among all teams with a perfect record.
Shenfeng Academy ranked second, having only lost one match to Chihuo Academy. Yang Podi was speechless at Shenfeng Academy's defeat; Feng Xiaotian truly lived up to his reputation as a famous sycophant in Douluo Continent, utterly powerless against Huo Wu.
Tianshui Academy is tied for second place. Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy have not yet faced each other, so their strength is indeed outstanding.
Team Tiandou is tied for second place, having only lost one match to Tianshui Academy, but has yet to play against Shenfeng Academy or Team Tiandou II.
The top four teams have already gained a slight advantage and could even be said to have secured their spots in the qualifying rounds.
Following them are Blazing Fire, Thunder, Elephant Armor, and Azure Radiance Academy. These four teams will likely compete for the remaining two qualifying spots.
After the competition, the group was preparing to go back to rest when they unexpectedly encountered Canghui Academy on the way.
The leader of Canghui Academy was a very thin and gloomy old man, who looked like Shi Nian, the leader of Canghui Academy. Next to Shi Nian was Ye Zhi Qiu, whom they had met once before. Back in Hunter Soul Town, Ye Zhi Qiu was humiliated when Yang Po Di grabbed him by the neck and threw him out of the restaurant.
It was Yang Tianyue, the younger sister standing next to him, who spoke up: "Big brother, what do you think of Canghui Academy? It seems like we haven't fought against them yet."
Yang Podi glanced furtively at Shi Nian beside him, who seemed to be plotting something, but simply snorted coldly: "It's just Canghui Academy, don't take it to heart, just treat it as training."
Upon hearing this, the students of Canghui Academy were all filled with anger, seemingly wanting to come over and argue, but the lineup of the Tiandou Second Team made all the members of Canghui Academy feel hopeless, so they just remained silent.
It was Cang Hui's team leader, Shi Nian, who spoke up: "Young man, don't be so arrogant. Although your team is quite strong, the outcome is still uncertain."
Yang Podi completely ignored Shi Nian's words: "Have you ever seen a tiger value a mouse?"
After saying that, he led his team away, ignoring Shi Nian, whose face had turned extremely ashen.
Next was the time to watch the matches, mainly focusing on the competition among the rivals. Yang Podi seemed to catch a glimpse of Shi Nian from Canghui Academy's resentful gaze out of the corner of his eye.
Yang Podi talked with Teacher Li Xiang for a while, asking Teacher Li Xiang to continue leading the team to observe, while he planned to go out and buy something.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi left the group alone, seemingly heading towards the street.
But when Yang Podi walked onto the street, although the street was still bustling, everyone seemed a little surreal, lacking a bit of the lively atmosphere.
Seeing this, Yang Podi pretended not to have noticed anything and continued walking forward.
After walking for a full half hour, Yang Podi spoke up directly: "Have you been playing for so long been any fun?"
Shi Nian seemed somewhat surprised: "Kid, I didn't expect you to know that this was my illusion. And you still dared to follow me out?"
Yang Podi scoffed, "It's just a mere illusion; what impact could it possibly have?"
Shi Nian seemed very angry: "Boy, since you underestimate my illusion magic so much, then I will definitely let you know how powerful I am, so I can teach you a lesson. I love to torture and kill geniuses the most."
The scene before Yang Podi's eyes was fleeting, seemingly returning to his life in the Po clan from a young age, where he was loved by his parents and cared for by his grandfather. Then the scene spun around, showing the battle of the Haotian Sect, where countless members of the Po clan died in pools of blood, even his own parents and grandfather were covered in blood.
At this moment, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer: "Shi Nian, your martial soul is quite interesting, but you are just a Soul Saint, which is far too weak."
Inside the illusion, Yang Podi's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and a beam of white light shot out from his body, instantly covering the entire illusion and shattering it.
Next to them came into view a gloomy old man, Shi Nian. However, Shi Nian was not in good condition at this time. He was bleeding from his seven orifices and his breathing was weak. He seemed to be in great pain.
Shi Nian, suppressing his surprise and the pain in his body, said, "I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age. You are also a member of the Heavenly Dou Team. I'm afraid you've been hiding your strength for the final battle."
Yang Podi shook his head: "It's just a Soul Master Competition, nothing special. I just want to see the Spirit Hall's attitude towards my Po Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. These are the more important things."
Suppressing his surprise, Shi Nian continued, "You should have known you were under my illusion spell as soon as you left the Soul Arena, so why did you pretend to be under it and come all this way with me?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "Although you are only a Soul Saint at the time, I don't really care about your life or death, but I am quite interested in that soul bone you have. After all, it is a ten-thousand-year soul bone, and it is a waste to have it on you."
Shi Nian was instantly shocked: "How do you know I have a soul bone? Are you so sure you can defeat me? I am a Soul Saint."
Yang Podi sneered: "A mere Soul Saint? It's not like I haven't killed them before."
Shi Nian seemed to be fighting back desperately, and seven spirit rings instantly appeared on his body. At the same time, the seventh spirit ring flashed, and the whole world seemed to be in a dreamlike state.
However, Yang Podi's eyes turned red, and two blood-red spear beams shot out from his eyes, instantly turning the illusion into nothingness.
This is the fourth move of Yang Podi's Nine Soul-Breaking Techniques: Blood Rain and Bloody Wind, which he only recently comprehended.
Yang Podi's Blood Rain and Blood Storm technique integrates mental power, the Killing God Domain, and the spear's aura into one. It uses mental power to strike the enemy, who will gradually be engulfed in a blood rain and blood storm. At the same time, it causes great mental trauma to people. After being injured, even their mental power and soul power will be suppressed, which can kill people invisibly.
According to Yang Podi's own estimation, even those below the Title Douluo level would likely find it difficult to cope with this attack. In particular, as Yang Podi's mental strength increases, this move will have a great potential for improvement. Especially after reaching the Title Douluo level, it will likely become even more powerful and impossible to defend against.
In the entire Douluo world, apart from Soul Masters with head Soul Bones and mental abilities, there are basically no mental attack methods. This move can be considered to make up for Yang Podi's own lack of mental ability. With this move, Yang Podi even dares to fight Soul Douluo one-on-one.
As the illusion shattered, Shi Nian lay on the ground, severely injured and on the verge of death. This was only because Yang Podi had deliberately controlled the power of his attack; otherwise, he could have instantly killed Shi Nian.
Yang Podi felt it was a pity about Shi Nian, both his martial soul and soul bone. A spirit-type soul master at the Soul Saint level was very rare in Douluo Continent. If he could have subdued him, he would definitely have been of great use in the future.
As for that ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from that time, it was really a bit of a waste. If we're talking about soul bone skills, it would be like a cheat code in the entire Douluo Continent, but the age limit is just too low. If it could reach sixty thousand years, Yang Podi would be tempted to absorb it, but it's only ten thousand years, so it's really not worth it.
If my talent were a little worse, or if I had met Shi Nian a few years earlier, I probably could have outmaneuvered him. Now, Shi Nian is too useless in terms of both strength and soul bone.
In the end, Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh. He took out some medicinal pills and fed them to Shi Nian, then put Shi Nian into the soul tool of the living creature and quickly left.
In just ten minutes, Yang Podi had returned to the Po clan. Before his grandfather Yang Wudi could speak, he followed his grandfather and father into the secret room.
Inside the secret chamber, Yang Podi took Shi Nian out of his soul tool. After taking the pill, Shi Nian seemed to have improved somewhat.
Yang Wudi couldn't help but ask, "Podi, isn't this Shi Nian from Canghui Academy? Why did you bring him back?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head: "Shi Nian just ambushed me, but I ended up injuring him. I originally wanted to kill him, but I think his martial spirit is still somewhat useful, and he has a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone on his body."
"How about this, Grandpa? Let's seal his soul power first, heal him, and see if he's willing to serve our Po clan. If he resists, let's just kill him."
Grandpa Yang Wudi spoke up: "This man has a terrible reputation these days, and he's extremely vindictive. Wouldn't keeping him around be a potential threat?"
"Grandpa, although this person has a bad reputation, his abilities are not bad. I will need him in the future, so it's better to keep him for now. After all, he's just a Soul Saint, and we can kill him at any time."
Finally, Yang Wudi spoke up: "Alright, since you value Shi Nian so much, let's lock him up in our Po clan for now and talk about it again when he's feeling better."
Yang Podi nodded and returned to the Soul Master Tournament arena.
