Chapter 127 Calculating the Avalanche
After returning to his dormitory, Yang Podi began to carefully recall the events of the day.
I think my statement today should be enough to keep Qian Renxue in line for now, and at least she shouldn't target me in the short term.
He had already made his position clear to Qian Renxue, so whether Qian Renxue was on the side of the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire, there was at least a buffer period.
As the epitome of an easy win in the original novel, Prince Xue Beng was a spoiled brat in the early stages, but later he simply said he was faking it to protect himself and got away with it. Yang Podi had no intention of indulging him. How dare he try to take advantage of his own sister? He would feel guilty if he didn't kill him, especially since Qian Renxue was a formidable opponent.
Ning Fengzhi, the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, relying on the reputation of the so-called Upper Three Sects, actually intended to use his own family as cannon fodder, clearly harboring malicious intentions. Meanwhile, Bone Douluo, relying on his Title Douluo strength, seemed somewhat reckless. Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble for them, merely wanting to quietly watch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffer. Now, however, he felt he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't do something to retaliate.
As for how to retaliate, we still need to think about it. They have two Title Douluos, plus Ning Fengzhi's assistance, and 4000 Soul Masters. We need to consider how to make good use of the Spirit Hall as a weapon.
Yu Xiaogang's attitude today really annoyed Yang Podi. How could a mere level 29 Great Soul Master have the confidence to talk to him like that? Could it be that he's relying on the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Even that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen has retreated into hiding, yet he still dares to jump around so enthusiastically.
However, Yu Xiaogang is not easy to deal with, and he also has Bibi Dong behind him, so we need to plan this carefully.
Finally, there's Tang San, a mere Soul Master. Isn't he just relying on his titled Douluo father? And the fact that the Clear Sky Sect has six titled Douluos? If the Clear Sky Sect's strength had been revealed earlier, they wouldn't have gotten away with it like in the original story.
Yang Podi has always looked down on the Haotian Sect. He hides away when he encounters difficulties and only survives because of Tang Chen's reputation. He also comes out to pick up bargains on the battlefield and has basically suffered no losses from beginning to end.
As for Tang San himself, without the Eight Spider Soul Bone and the Ice and Fire Body Refinement of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, let's see how arrogant he can be in the future.
Throughout the original novel, Yang Podi always looked down on the Shrek Academy group, especially Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. It's unbelievable that such scoundrels could achieve so much later on.
What Yang Podi wants to confirm most right now is Tang Hao's location. Tang San took Xiao Wu to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he doesn't believe Tang Hao isn't following them. Otherwise, Xiao Wu will be exposed at any time, and then this 10-year soul ring and soul bone will be completely lost.
After considering how to deal with these people today, Yang Podi stopped thinking about it and continued cultivating. Nothing was more important than improving his own strength.
However, in the following days, both Tailong and Bai Xiaofei seemed to be acting strangely. They would disappear from time to time and showed little interest in cultivating their soul power. What could be causing this?
That morning, Yang Podi received a message from his family that a gathering of four single-attribute clans would be held in five days, and the location of this gathering would be the Min clan.
Yang Podi snorted inwardly. This gathering was probably going to be interesting. He wondered what choices the Power Clan and the Agility Clan would make.
However, before Yang Podi could go to the party, there was a knock on the dormitory door. When Yang Podi opened the door, it turned out to be Dugu Bo who had come into his dormitory.
Yang Podi invited Dugu Bo into the dormitory, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Grandpa Dugu, what brings you to my dormitory today? Is something wrong?"
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a sneer: "Little monster, I heard you were bullied, so I came to check on you."
Yang Podi asked curiously, "Grandpa Dugu, don't you know my personality? No one in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy should be able to bully me, right?"
"I heard that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came to see you. What's wrong? Weren't you bullied by them?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle: "Grandpa Dugu, you're quite well-informed. But it's not so much bullying as just a bit of a dislike for them."
"Yu Xiaogang is just a mere Great Soul Master, yet he wants to be your team leader. Can you really tolerate this? If I had a temper, I would have just killed him."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment: "This Yu Xiaogang is just a useless piece of trash with no real strength. He's just daydreaming. He's still Yu Yuanzhen's own son, so let's give him a little face."
"Little monster, this isn't like you. With the current strength behind you, you shouldn't be afraid of either the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."
Yang Podi shook his head: "Grandpa Dugu, if I wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang, do you think he could escape?"
"Haven't you thought about revenge? Do you want me to go with you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? At least to intimidate them and prevent them from having any improper thoughts."
Yang Podi shook his head again: "Of course we need to take revenge, but how many more good days do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan have left? That old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has been hiding at home all this time. Do you think he dares to go out now? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is feeling too much pressure and wants to drag my Po Clan out to take the blame."
"If I were to actually cause them trouble and expose my family's power, wouldn't that be exactly what they wanted?"
Dugu Bo thought about it carefully: "It's good that you have a plan. I also heard about a kid, I think he's Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, who's also quite impolite."
"You're talking about Tang San, right? He's no ordinary person; he has a powerful background."
"How powerful could his connections be? At worst, we could just kill him secretly, without anyone knowing."
"Grandpa Dugu, I advise you not to make a move. Tang San is Tang Hao's son. Tang Hao might be protecting him in secret."
Dugu Bo seemed a little surprised: "Haotian Douluo Tang Hao? I didn't expect him to actually show up again, and his son even wants to participate in the Soul Master Competition. This is quite interesting."
"By the way, Grandpa Dugu, I've already spoken with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe today. I'd like to ask you to take on the role of the deputy leader of the second team at my Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Dugu Bo seemed a little annoyed: "You brat, I, a titled Douluo, am here as your deputy leader? Who is your leader?"
"Excuse me, I am the leader of the second team of the Heaven Dou Empire. You are just a figurehead. At least you have deterred some people from having any improper thoughts."
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment: "That's more like it. You little monster, you always cause me trouble."
The two chatted for a while longer before Dugu Bo left. Watching Dugu Bo's departing figure, Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "That old man Dugu Bo is quite interesting."
After returning to the Crown Prince's palace, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe spoke into the darkness: "Snake Spear, immediately investigate who Xue Beng has been associating with lately, especially his cronies. Also, simultaneously investigate any major moves by these people."
In the darkness, a man dressed in black bowed to Xue Qinghe: "Yes, young master."
In just one hour, Serpent Spear Douluo returned, bringing with him a large amount of data.
Xue Qinghe carefully examined all the information, his face turning pale: "Very good. My younger brother has been hiding his strength quite well. I never imagined he would have such great power without me even noticing. And my good royal uncle, it turns out he has been secretly supporting my brother all along."
Serpent Spear Douluo quickly spoke up, "Young Master, should I eliminate these two people?"
Xue Qinghe was speechless. What kind of people were his subordinates? They were all strong but simple-minded.
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment before finally speaking: "Inform Salas that I need to see him."
Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo simply left in secret.
Xue Qinghe, meanwhile, was deep in thought. Yang Podi, that brat, only dared to make a move on his sister, Xue Beng, and wanted to use him to get rid of her. What methods would he use to deal with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang and their ilk?
Thinking about how he held her hand and even touched it again today, she couldn't help but blush: "That brat, how dare he take advantage of me again! I'll definitely chop his hand off someday."
Yang Podi still finds it a bit strange. Logically speaking, Xue Qinghe already knows that Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and Tang Hao is his father's killer, yet he hasn't taken any action against Tang San.
In the original story, Ning Fengzhi also took Tang San to see Xue Qinghe and revealed Tang San's identity. Xue Qinghe didn't seem to take any action from beginning to end. What exactly did this little angel mean? Did he want to win Tang San over?
Yang Podi sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Tang San was truly the chosen one, or if the villains in Douluo Continent had simply become too stupid. As Tang Hao's son, Tang San participated in the Soul Master Competition from beginning to end, yet the Spirit Hall didn't seem to target him. Neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Renxue seemed to notice Tang San at all, even when he revealed his twin martial souls, they took no action.
Bibi Dong's only so-called assassination attempt involved sending Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, while the opposing side clearly had Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo. It was practically suicide.
However, Yang Podi had no time to care about that. The gathering of the four single-attribute families was about to begin, and according to Yang Podi's own guess, this was probably the last gathering.
Judging from Tailong and Bai Xiaofei's current attitudes, Tang San has clearly recognized Titan, and may even have recognized Bai He. Now it depends on their choices. If they choose Tang San, then they can't blame me for showing no mercy.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the original story, the Min clan fled to the Star Luo Empire and suffered even greater losses, but they still followed Tang San. Now their lives are much better than in the original story, so their ambitions are probably even greater. Who wouldn't want to recreate the glory of the Haotian Sect back then?
