Chapter 190 Arrival in Hanhai City
After arriving at Chrysanthemum Douluo's home in the Spirit Hall, the three of them spent the next few days quite leisurely, relaxing and enjoying themselves without any formalities.
Yang Podi and Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to hit it off immediately. Although Chrysanthemum Douluo's house didn't have many rooms, there was a huge garden in the backyard, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs, including quite a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which Chrysanthemum Douluo had probably collected from outside over the years, some of which were quite excellent.
Yang Podi himself was quite interested in these flowers and plants, especially since he would occasionally take out one or two spiritual herbs, making Chrysanthemum Douluo extremely envious.
However, the two have different views. Chrysanthemum Douluo clearly has a special love for flowers and plants, and regards them as his own life. Yang Podi, on the other hand, has a better understanding of alchemy, mainly the use of flowers and plants in medicine. This is something that Chrysanthemum Douluo, who loves flowers, is more resistant to.
Ghost Douluo, on the other hand, seemed unfazed. Although he didn't interact much with Yang Podi, he didn't show any aversion to him.
Surprisingly, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who lives such a refined life, is also a good cook. It makes one seriously suspect that Ghost Douluo is just here to freeload because he finds it too troublesome.
Of course, during their conversation, they also learned about some of the past of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Ghost Douluo was born into a commoner family, and Chrysanthemum Douluo was born into a poor family. Both of them joined the Spirit Hall when they were young and were raised by the Spirit Hall. In their eyes, the Spirit Hall was their home.
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the two were so loyal to the Spirit Hall. It was practically impossible for them to betray the Spirit Hall. However, the two were still people of character and could be befriended.
Yang Podi wondered if it was because Chrysanthemum Douluo was such a bad person. They had been staying for half a month, and not a single person had come to visit them, or even to treat them.
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke leisurely: "Our injuries have mostly healed. The remaining injuries are mostly fundamental problems that healing-type Soul Saints simply cannot treat, so we have no choice but to recuperate on our own."
"Moreover, His Holiness the Pope went to great lengths to heal our injuries, even using many rare and precious herbs. Otherwise, we wouldn't have recovered to this extent so quickly."
"As for our friends, they are all Title Douluo, either out on business or busy with closed-door cultivation. How could they have time to visit every day? As for the younger generation, there are very few they think highly of."
After hearing all this, Yang Podi was also filled with doubt. Why did Ju Douluo's personality scare away a lot of people? Why did Gui Douluo, who was in charge of the Spirit Hall's punishments, make no one dare to come?
But this is good, it really does resemble real life.
That afternoon, after lunch, the three of them slumped on the sofa, completely lacking any proper posture, when someone came to knock on the door to visit.
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't even open his eyelids: "Little Podi, go open the door."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment, but still went to open the door. However, he was surprised after opening the door.
Two people came to visit, both women. One was Hu Liena, whom I met in the Soul Master Competition, and the other was a pretty middle-aged woman who looked like the Flame Eagle Douluo from the original work, also known as the Spirit Phoenix Douluo.
The two were surprised to see Yang Podi open the door, especially Hu Liena: "Aren't you Yang Podi from the Heaven Dou Second Team? What are you doing at Chrysanthemum Douluo's house?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle: "I've been traveling recently and just happened to come and pay a visit to Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."
Flame Eagle Douluo seemed somewhat unsurprised, or perhaps he already knew, and simply led Hu Liena into the living room.
The two did not hide their conversation from Yang Podi. It seemed that they had come to visit and offer condolences on the orders of Pope Bibi Dong. Moreover, judging from their conversation, the four of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other, especially Chrysanthemum Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo. Their relationship seemed to be very good. If Yang Podi did not know Chrysanthemum Douluo's personality, he would have suspected that the two of them were having an affair.
After their visit, Flame Eagle Douluo and Hu Liena left without paying any attention to Yang Podi.
After the two left, Yang Podi thought carefully and finally spoke to Chrysanthemum Douluo: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I've been away for a while now, and it's time for me to go home. I'll take my leave now. Senior, you're welcome to visit Mount Almo if you have time; I still have many good things at home."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up upon hearing this, seemingly a little reluctant, though it was unclear what he was reluctant to part with. However, Ghost Douluo, who was usually quiet, suddenly spoke up: "Yang Podi, your trip to Mount Almo was quite successful. Tianxing Academy is far away in Mount Almo, so no one will care about such a small skirmish."
Yang Podi quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Ghost Douluo."
After Yang Podi left, Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly spoke up: "Old Ghost, what do you think of this kid?"
Ghost Douluo rarely opened his eyes: "Not bad, a smart person, it's just a bit of a pity."
Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a bit of a pity."
After Flame Eagle Douluo and Hu Liena left, Hu Liena seemed a little puzzled: "Senior Flame Eagle, how did Yang Podi come to our Spirit City? Should we report this to His Holiness the Pope?"
Flame Eagle Douluo shook his head: "His Holiness the Pope already knew about Yang Podi's first day in Wuhun City. His Holiness the Pope has his reasons, so you don't need to worry."
"But Nana, you have to work even harder to be in the same era as this kid, otherwise he will become a nightmare for all of your generation."
As Yang Podi led the black horse away from Martial Soul City, he looked at the towering city and couldn't help but shake his head: "Martial Soul City is indeed a good place, especially for cultivation. It's a treasure trove, but it's a bit of a pity."
During these two weeks, under the special light of Wuhun City, my state of mind became more peaceful than before, and I even had some insights that I didn't usually have. Although I didn't cultivate, my soul power seemed to be slowly increasing.
Yang Podi continued walking, stopping frequently, and even went to the place where he was born, which was the original location of the Haotian Sect. He seemed to feel a little nostalgic, but at the same time, he also showed a hint of hatred towards the towering mountains in the distance. In the end, he sighed and left.
This journey lasted a full eight months, covering almost half of the Douluo Continent, and finally arrived at Hanhai City, which was also the final destination.
Of course, they also encountered the wolf bandits. Seeing the bloody scene full of killing, it felt like returning to the city of slaughter. Yang Podi himself also became ferocious and killed all the wolf bandits, regardless of age or gender, and happily obtained a piece of his left leg soul bone.
After arriving in Hanhai City, Yang Podi completely changed. He was no longer as relaxed as when he was traveling. He became much stronger and returned to his former decisive and shrewd self.
As Yang Podi gazed at the boundless sea and its surging waves—the first time he had ever seen the ocean in either of his lives—he felt a surge of emotion. His mind became much more open, and his soul power broke through to level eighty-five in that instant. All of this happened as naturally as water flowing into a channel. It's worth noting that Yang Podi hadn't cultivated at all for the past eight months; instead, he had focused on refining his mental state.
At this moment, Yang Podi's heart was as vast as the sea, and his spiritual power seemed to have undergone a qualitative leap. With each blink of his eyes, it was as if the world had changed and the sea had turned into mulberry fields. His spiritual power seemed to have broken through a certain realm.
After arriving near Hanhai City, Yang Podi released the black horse that had been following him for some time and stayed alone at the Hanhai City Hotel, preparing to wait for his younger sister and the others to arrive.
Yang Podi himself also toured the entire Hanhai City, purchasing various supplies, and even bought the Dragon Abyss Boat from the original novel, which can be considered a small gain.
In the time to come, the main task is to adapt to the fighting style of the Sea Soul Masters. With Yang Podi's current soul power level, he simply cannot enter the Soul Arena to fight; he can only observe.
Yang Podi simply rented a beach to practice swimming and exercise, and he achieved some success.
After waiting in Hanhai City for almost a month, the people from Tianxing Academy finally arrived. This time, Yang Zhentian personally led five people with him.
The five were overjoyed to see Yang Podi, especially Ye Lingling. The two embraced for a long time, feeling as if they were newlyweds after a short separation.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, seemed to have a somewhat resentful expression on her face.
After this period of hard training, everyone has improved.
Among them, Yang Tianyue has made the greatest improvement. Her soul power has now reached level 66, which is the highest among all the people. In particular, with the Ice and Fire Body Refinement and the four top-grade soul bones and external soul bones on her body, she is probably hard to match among people of the same realm.
Yang Tianyue's sixth soul ring is also around 70,000 years old. It is a top-grade ice-attribute soul beast, the Xuanbing Giant Dragon. It is said that her father, Yang Zhentian, and her two grandfathers personally went to the far north to hunt it.
Ye Lingling is currently level 65, ranking second in soul power among the five. Support-type cultivators do tend to progress relatively slowly, and since she had already consumed whale glue, consuming more won't significantly improve her abilities. However, compared to when she left Tianxing Academy last time, when Ye Lingling was only level 60, she has improved by five levels in less than a year, which is quite a good improvement.
Yang Ping'an is currently level 65, which is after consuming whale glue, acquiring his sixth soul ring, and absorbing a top-grade soul bone.
Dugu Yan is currently at level 62, which is only considered decent. After consuming the immortal herb, her soul power improvement is comparable to that of others.
Niu Meng is currently at level 59, and is the only one among them who has not yet reached the Soul Emperor realm.
Yang Podi thought about it carefully for a while. There was still about a month and a half before Tianyue's assessment requirements, so there was still a chance to improve again.
So, Yang Podi took out the left leg soul bone obtained by the wolf bandits and handed it to Niu Meng: "Niu Meng, absorb this soul bone as soon as possible. Before we set off for Seagod Island, try to reach level 60 and absorb all the soul rings. Then we can all become Soul Emperors."
Yang Podi knew that one could obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring during the Seagod Island assessment. Naturally, the higher the level, the better the effect of absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring. If the group could reach level 80 or 90 to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring, the effect would be even better, which was a bit of a pity.
Moreover, Niu Meng's speed was already a bit slow, so this soul bone that could accelerate him was very suitable for him.
