Chapter 170 Soul-Exploding Pill
In this battle between Yang Podi and the other seven, it seems that he is going to be at a temporary disadvantage. After all, Yang Podi did not use any soul skills from beginning to end, and he held back his speed and strength, basically suppressing them at the Soul King level.
But just as the others were about to attack, Yang Podi suddenly turned his spear around and thrust it towards Yang Ping'an with a dragon-like thrust.
Yang Ping'an's speed was too fast, and his reaction seemed to be a little slow, so he had to slow down his attack and forcefully suppress his speed.
But this was the moment Yang Podi had been waiting for. He gripped his spear with both hands and delivered a powerful slash that broke through Yang Ping'an's defenses. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the spearhead struck Yang Ping'an, sending him crashing off the stage.
The other six then realized that Yang Podi's target was Yang Ping'an.
But Yang Podi pressed his advantage relentlessly. He rubbed his hands together, causing the spear to spin rapidly, directly meeting Niu Meng's soul bone skill. A sharp cone appeared within the huge ball of fire, splitting the flames apart. The cone formed by the Soul-Breaking Spear went straight forward, piercing into Niu Meng's body.
Even when Niu Meng activated his fifth soul skill again, he still couldn't withstand the sharp spikes formed by the Soul-Breaking Spear. He was forced back and even suffered considerable injuries.
Upon seeing this, Ye Lingling immediately did her best to treat Niu Meng.
But Yang Podi swung the Soul-Breaking Spear again, and countless spear lights appeared on the tip of the spear, all of which attacked Ye Lingling. Moreover, the countless spear lights gradually condensed together to form a huge spear light, as if it was going to pierce Ye Lingling's entire body.
At the critical moment, Niu Kui and Yang Yuxuan stood in front of the spear's edge, unleashing their strongest soul skills in an attempt to block the attack.
Yang Tianyue, however, disregarded the other attacks and used her fourth soul skill, the Sky-Piercing Spear, to stab Yang Podi, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan summoned a gigantic Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, from which a stream of dark green gas was exhaled, also in an attempt to slow down Yang Podi's attack.
However, Yang Podi quickly dodged the two men's attacks and instead attacked Niu Meng, knocking him off the stage with just a few shots.
Yang Podi initially used a direct assault, targeting Ye Lingling. However, after drawing attention to the others, he employed various feints and diversions, keeping Ye Lingling as his primary target. While everyone's attention was focused on protecting Ye Lingling, he successively knocked out the opponent's strongest fighters, Niu Meng and Yang Ping'an. Especially under the effect of the Killing God Domain, everyone's soul skills seemed to be significantly reduced, and their reaction speed was also considerably slower.
With Yang Ping'an and Niu Meng knocked off the stage, the remaining fighters will be much weaker, and they won't even be able to stop Yang Podi.
Sure enough, after the two were eliminated, the other five were quickly knocked out of the ring by Yang Podi, and each of them seemed to have suffered heavy blows and considerable injuries.
Yang Podi stood on the arena, looking at the crowd who had entered: "You guys are still too rigid in your thinking, not flexible enough. Protecting Ye Lingling is indeed very important, but you must protect yourselves first."
"Ping An, Niu Meng, you two have just acquired soul bones and haven't fully mastered the skills they possess yet, or rather, you're relying too much on these soul bones in battle."
"Furthermore, you have never faced killing before. Apart from Ping An at the beginning, the others did not perform well enough in the face of my God of Slaughter Domain. I only comprehended the God of Slaughter Domain after countless killings. Obviously, you have not experienced any killings and are unable to take the correct approach."
The seven of them fell silent, seemingly having been led by the nose by Yang Podi from beginning to end, without being able to showcase their own style and strengths.
Yang Tianyue, however, was still a little unconvinced: "Big brother, you are too cunning. You were clearly attacking Sister Lingling with all your might, but you ended up defeating Brother Ping'an and Brother Niu Meng first while we were rescuing Sister Lingling."
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "When you're facing the enemy, they'll do the same thing. Attack and support, besiege and attack reinforcements, make a show of force and strike from the west. The enemy can take any measure you don't expect, and you'll have to be able to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations."
Yang Ping'an seemed a little puzzled: "Big brother, how should we train now? Those moves you just made weren't difficult, but they were executed incredibly quickly, giving us no time to react. And how much of your strength did you use just now?"
Yang Podi nodded: "Not bad, your insight is decent. From beginning to end, I only used about 50% of my strength and speed. If I had used my full strength, it would have been very difficult for you to stop me."
"Your next training will involve killing. Within a radius of 500 li, there are several bandit groups and some mercenaries who kill and rob. I want you to wipe them all out, leaving no one alive."
"You will rest and receive treatment today, and depart tomorrow. You will not receive any protection or support during the journey."
"Among these groups of bandits and mercenaries, there are Soul Emperor-level experts, so you must be especially careful."
At this moment, Yang Wudi, who had been silent all along, also spoke up: "In today's battle of spirits, you did not show your strength at all. On a real battlefield, the enemy will not give you the opportunity to use your full strength. So I want to tell you, either don't make a move, or when you do, you must go all out, just like a lion hunting a rabbit."
"Those bandit groups and mercenaries are easily wiped out by our Breaking Clan. We haven't even made a move yet; we just wanted to hand them over to you few."
The seven nodded in agreement. This battle served as a wake-up call for them and tempered their arrogance after winning the championship, especially Yang Tianyue, who, after being praised, acted as if she was fearless.
After everyone left, Yang Podi said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I remember seeing a Soul-Exploding Pill in our family's pill recipe. Is it possible to successfully refine it? Especially to increase the yield significantly."
Yang Wudi's expression turned serious: "What do you need the Soul-Exploding Pill for? It's something that can only be used when you're in dire straits. It can indeed temporarily boost your soul power, but it severely damages your foundation and has significant side effects. You might never be able to improve it again in your lifetime."
Yang Podi shook his head: "I want to refine a kind of pill that can upgrade soul beasts that are over 90,000 years old or over 95,000 years old to the 100,000-year level."
Yang Wudi suddenly widened his eyes: "You want a 10-year Soul Ring? Judging from your current situation, you should be able to reach level 70 soon, but level 70 may not be able to withstand a 10-year Soul Ring."
Yang Podi shook his head: "With my current physical condition, absorbing a 10-year soul ring shouldn't be a problem. And I should be able to break through to level 70 in at most ten days."
Yang Wudi thought for a moment before speaking: "The Soul Explosion Pill can indeed increase the age of a soul beast, but for soul beasts over 9 years old, the increase is very limited. It would require countless rare and precious materials, which is not worth the effort."
Yang Podi smiled and said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten? A 10-year-old soul beast is guaranteed to drop a soul bone. Even if it costs a lot of rare and precious treasures, it's worth it to get a 10-year-old soul ring and a 10-year-old soul bone."
Yang Wudi finally thought about it and said, "Based on the medicinal herbs stored in our family, we should be able to provide enough Soul Explosion Pills for your last three Soul Rings."
Yang Podi shook his head: "I need at least six Soul Explosion Pills, or even more. If possible, I need eight."
Yang Wudi was a little puzzled: "You can only absorb three more spirit rings at most, why do you need so many Soul Explosion Pills?"
Yang Podi sighed inwardly: "Grandpa, this is my biggest secret, and I've never wanted to tell anyone."
After speaking, Yang Podi's soul power flickered, and his entire body suddenly turned silver-white, even his hair, making him look like a pure silver metal man.
Yang Wudi was immediately stunned: "What's going on with you? How can you have soul power fluctuations without using your martial soul? And why is this happening?"
Yang Podi then slowly spoke up: "Actually, when I awakened my martial soul, I awakened two martial souls. My second soul is my body. With the strength of my body now, even without using the Soul-Breaking Spear, I can fight against a Soul Saint."
Looking at Yang Podi's body, Yang Wudi couldn't help but laugh: "I never thought my grandson would have twin martial souls. The rise of my Yang family is promising."
"But you need so many Soul-Exploding Pills, do you perhaps intend to acquire a lot of Soul Rings this time? When you have twin martial souls, you should cultivate the first martial soul to its peak before adding Soul Rings to the second martial soul. This is the only way to maximize its potential. Moreover, you should pay special attention to the mutual repulsion between the two martial souls to prevent the body from exploding."
Yang Podi shook his head: "I only plan to hunt for two spirit rings this time, and I have actually already thought of a cultivation method to prevent the twin martial spirits from exploding."
Yang Wudi seemed a little puzzled: "In the Soul World, there's only one successful example of cultivating twin martial souls, Bibi Dong. This is one of the secrets of the Soul Master world. How did you come up with that?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, the cultivation method for twin martial souls is quite simple. It's just that if your physical strength isn't sufficient, you can't withstand the pressure of two martial souls at the same time. As long as you continuously train your body to make it stronger, and with high-age soul bones throughout your body, you won't experience the phenomenon of your body exploding."
"Furthermore, my twin martial souls are different from Bibi Dong's and Tang San's. My other martial soul is my body, and there is no repulsion between my body and the Soul-Breaking Spear. Moreover, I can use two martial souls at the same time."
After speaking, Yang Podi summoned his martial spirit, the Soul-Breaking Spear. There was indeed no repulsion between his silver body and the Soul-Breaking Spear.
Yang Wudi nodded with satisfaction, but he was still a little hesitant: "The family's current resources are indeed insufficient to refine too many Soul-Exploding Pills, especially given the high level of effect you're demanding. To enhance a soul beast's soul power from 5000 to 1 years, we need far too many rare and precious materials."
Yang Podi simply smiled and then handed Yang Wudi a storage ring.
Yang Wudi examined the contents of the storage ring and was immediately stunned. Finally, he couldn't help but curse angrily, "This brat, these were probably all found inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! Just how much have you hidden?"
"Moreover, this savings ring contains quite a few herbs that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, but there are no immortal herbs. Are you hiding something else?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "Grandpa, I don't have much left to keep. Including what I gave to the four of them last time, I've basically given it all. There's only a little left."
"By the way, Grandpa, we can take some out to train the elders. It would be best to also talk to Grandpa about it, since it would also help improve the strength of the Loyal Academy."
Yang Podi really didn't have any ordinary medicinal herbs left; all he had were immortal herbs.
Yang Wudi nodded: "In the next two weeks, I'll try to refine two Soul-Exploding Pills for you. You probably won't need the rest so soon. I'll slowly study the formula to see if I can maximize its effects."
Yang Wudi suddenly remembered something: "Podi, does your father also have a lot of medicinal herbs on him?"
Yang Podi simply smiled and left.
A furious shout came from behind: "That brat! He's been hiding so many things from me! I'll teach him a lesson and show him who's the son and who's the father!"
