Yang Podi looked at the group of people who seemed a little flustered and thought about how to deal with the problem at hand.
Even Li Xiang and Anya were a little flustered. They had been with the team for six years and had developed a very good relationship with everyone. Li Xiang, in particular, had worked tirelessly and had a great relationship with everyone over the years.
After all, whenever everyone was exhausted to the point of fainting, it was Teacher Li Xiang who took care of them hand in hand. After leading the team for six years, Teacher Li Xiang himself has felt the growth of all the students and also felt a certain amount of pressure. After six years of hard training, he has also reached the Soul Emperor level and is now a level 63 Soul Emperor.
As for Teacher Anya, she is still a high-level Soul King, and her Soul Power is only level 58. However, as a healing-type Soul Master, she has only barely improved, which is enough.
Yang Podi looked at everyone and said directly, "I know there's been a lot of news going on outside lately, and everyone's minds are in turmoil. I don't know what you're all thinking?"
"My initial purpose in forming this team was partly to prepare for next year's Soul Master Tournament, but more importantly, it was to improve the four families with single attributes, and to improve all of us."
"After so many years of hard work, you can basically all reach the Soul Master realm, or even higher. This improvement is your own achievement. Think about it, if you hadn't trained these past few years, could your soul power levels, your combat experience, and your individual trials have reached this level?"
"If it were just for the championship, I could have easily found some more talented, more obedient, and more hardworking people to train. There are many such geniuses in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But why didn't I choose them and instead chose you? Because you are members of the four single-attribute families. Because we are from the same school, we are one."
"I don't care what news there is outside, or what decisions the academy makes. I formed this team, and I have the final say in everything. If they insist on putting in a new team leader, or changing the training methods, or having someone else lead us, I'll just disband the team, or I'll just quit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. There's nothing in this world that can't be solved."
"You may have heard about the rewards of the Soul Master Competition, but I don't care about them at all. They're just a few soul bones, right? Compared to that, I value team unity, friendship, and my own improvement more."
After saying this, Yang Podi glanced at the people around him again and secretly pondered a countermeasure.
With Yang Podi's current strength, winning the championship would be an easy task. He doesn't even value the head soul bone that is the champion's reward anymore.
However, the main reason for participating in the Soul Master Competition this time is to show the attitude of the Breaking Clan and the Guardian Clan. At that time, his grandfather Yang Wudi and maternal grandfather Niu Gao will go to the Spirit Hall to receive their titles. Before his strength is strong enough, he doesn't want to go against the Spirit Hall.
On the other hand, he wanted to cause some trouble for the Shrek Seven Devils. His family had a certain grudge against the Clear Sky Sect, and he really didn't want Tang San and his group to get the reward so easily.
The most important point is to deceive Xue Qinghe. Yang Podi doesn't want to fall out with Xue Qinghe for the time being, nor does he want to disgust her too much, as this guy has a very strong desire for revenge.
As for the teams, I'm not so worried.
Of the many people in the team, half were from his own family. He was slightly worried about Tailong, Niu Meng, and Bai Xiaofei. Especially Tailong and Bai Xiaofei, Yang Podi wanted to take this opportunity to see their attitudes and those of their families. If it was confirmed that they were on different paths, he would not take them with him in the future, since it would involve many secrets.
After hearing Yang Podi's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, except for Tailong, whose expression was still a bit strange, as if he was very conflicted.
Yang Podi ignored the change in Tailong's expression. How the Power Clan should choose, or how Tailong should choose, was their own business.
The person who didn't care the most was actually Dugu Yan. The Dugu family and the Po clan had an extremely good relationship, so even if something unpleasant happened, no one would dare to provoke her.
Of course, Yang Podi also planned to change everyone's training methods. After all, with long-term physical training, everyone's physical fitness was almost at its limit, and there was no need to continue training.
Yang Podi looked at everyone and continued, "After such a long period of weighted obstacle running training, everyone's physical fitness has reached its limit and will not improve in the short term. Therefore, we will change the training method from now on. Everyone will go to the simulated environment to meditate with all their might and improve to a higher level of soul power as soon as possible."
"Especially Tailong and Bai Xiaofei, you two need to break through to the Soul Master level as soon as possible. I will arrange the next stage of training next."
Yang Podi then turned to Teacher Li Xiang beside him and said, "Teacher Li Xiang, only Yang Tianyue will continue with the weighted obstacle course training. The rest of you will focus on meditation. Please help us check everyone's progress."
Teacher Li Xiang and Teacher Anya exchanged glances and nodded. If it was just Yang Tianyue alone later, the two of them would feel a little more relaxed.
As for going to the Great Soul Arena for a Soul Battle, Yang Podi felt it was completely unnecessary.
In the past few years, since everyone broke through to the Soul Master level, everyone has been scheduled to participate in long-term Soul Battles, mainly single and double Soul Battles. Now everyone has Silver Soul Battle Medals, and everyone is considered to have rich combat experience. The only thing they lack is life-and-death experience. Yang Podi plans to take everyone to Sunset Forest for training in a while so that they can truly improve.
Yang Podi himself has been focusing more on meditation, and basic training is no longer necessary. With his current physical abilities, although he is only a level 63 Soul Emperor, he is not afraid of even facing a Soul Saint, and he even has a certain chance of winning against some ordinary Soul Douluos.
There has been a lot of news lately, much of it related to the Soul Master Competition.
The first piece of news is that the Spirit Hall is said to have produced a group of elite disciples, whom Pope Bibi Dong called the Golden Generation. Their specific strength is not yet clear to the outside world, but judging from the atmosphere within the Spirit Hall, there should be quite a few geniuses among them, and the Spirit Hall will do its best to cultivate them.
The second point concerns the Soul Master Competition next year. Since the finals are being hosted by the Spirit Hall, the venue is not the relatively neutral location of the past, but rather directly in Spirit City.
Both empires initially opposed the proposal, but the Spirit Hall seemed determined, especially regarding the championship prize. They offered three spirit bones over ten thousand years old and, citing the safety of the spirit bones, held the finals at the Papal Palace in Spirit City. Faced with such a reward, the two empires had no choice but to agree.
For any faction, a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is extremely rare, especially since these three soul bones are all over thirty thousand years old. Many people were stunned when they heard this news.
Even within the Spirit Hall, this caused quite a stir, and both empires were agonizing over finding outstanding students, clearly not wanting to lose face.
In fact, it was clear to everyone that these three soul bones were prepared for the so-called Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, but the temptation was too great and the rewards too generous, and almost everyone went crazy.
The third thing is that the Po Clan and the Yu Clan actually announced that Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po Clan, and Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu Clan, will go to Wuhun City during the Soul Master Competition to receive their titles from the Douluo Hall.
Logically speaking, all titled Douluo should go to the Spirit Hall to receive their official appointment. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall has the right to punish the relevant personnel. After all, the Spirit Hall is a recognized holy land for spirit masters, and in the eyes of many spirit masters, the status of the Spirit Hall is even higher than that of the two great empires.
However, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's attitudes were rather strange. Logically speaking, both families had a blood feud with the Spirit Hall during the war with the Clear Sky Sect, and the two had been finding excuses not to accept the title of Title Douluo.
To outsiders, the Po Clan and the Yu Clan should have been the vanguard against the Spirit Hall, but the fact that the two clan leaders made statements at the same time stunned everyone.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall promoted the matter extensively, suggesting that both sides intended to reconcile. The Spirit Hall even sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to personally visit and confirm the relevant matters of the investiture.
Even their titles have been decided: Yang Wudi will be named Soul Breaker Douluo, and Niu Gao will be named Plate Armor Douluo. Both names come from their martial souls, Soul Breaker Spear and Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros.
As for the past grudges between the two sides, both Niu Gao and Yang Wudi stated that accepting the title was a common practice in the Soul Master world, and that past grudges would be settled separately with the relevant personnel from that year. The two even challenged Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from afar, and for a time no one was clear about the attitudes of the two clans.
Some busybodies inquired about this matter with the Min and Li clans, which are also among the four single-attribute clans. The two clans only stated that they would never forget the hatred of that year. As for the matter of Niu Gao and Yang Wudi accepting the title, they remained silent and did not offer any opinions.
Many people now believe that next year's Soul Master Competition will likely cause quite a stir.
Some have even discovered that the four single-attribute families are putting all their efforts into training the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The second team is basically composed of members from the four families, which will be a major highlight of next year's Soul Master Competition.
Regardless, the Soul Master world, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, seems to have suddenly become more entangled in grudges and feuds, as if the waves are rising again.
The Spirit Hall members, especially the higher-ups, completely disregarded the so-called second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as they understood that the Spirit Hall's lineup for the Soul Master Competition would be unprecedentedly strong.
In short, the Soul Master Competition has not yet started, but the debates from all sides seem to have already begun. Compared to the high profile of the Spirit Hall team, the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is frighteningly low-key, because the members of the second team have not appeared in the outside world for a long time, and their strength is unknown.
