Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

"Grandpa, I think the Soul Beast Forest is full of dangers. Even some small soul beasts may be very dangerous, and there will be unknown attacks at any time."

"Defeat the enemy, you are right. We must be extremely careful in the Soul Beast Forest and cannot let our guard down for even a moment. If we are not careful, we will encounter various attacks, and some of them will be very strange."

"We are only at the outskirts of Sunset Forest now. If we enter the central part of Sunset Forest, we will encounter many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. I have even encountered soul beasts that are over 8 years old. The strength of such soul beasts is almost comparable to that of human Titled Douluo."

"Grandpa, a soul beast that has just passed ten thousand years should be easy for you to deal with."

"Defeat the enemy, you are right. For me, a 5-year-old soul beast is really nothing. Grandpa, I can even defeat soul beasts from 7 to years ago. But you must be absolutely careful, you must not get hurt in the soul beast forest. As long as you get hurt, the bloody smell on your body will attract attacks from all kinds of soul beasts, one after another."

"And once you enter the Soul Hunting Forest, you basically go there to hunt for soul rings. If you get injured, it will affect your ability to absorb soul rings and face various attacks, so you must pay special attention to protecting yourself and don't fight soul beasts unless necessary."

"Defeat the enemy, and the most important thing is, you have to remember, in the Soul Beast Village, the most dangerous are never the soul beasts, but the people. Just like now."

Obviously, Yang Wudi felt something.

Chapter 26: Road robbery

Sure enough, after a while, five people came to the two of them.

Judging from the attire of these five people, they should all be soul masters, including four men and one woman. The leading man is relatively old, estimated to be in his 50s. The other three men are in their early 40s, and the woman is in her early 30s, looking younger than the others.

The older man was thinner, but also looked incredibly capable, his gaze shone with a shrewdness. The three middle-aged men were dressed similarly. One was enormous, over two meters tall. The other two had more ordinary features, but their muscular bodies were exposed, demonstrating their impressive strength. Finally, the woman, dressed in revealing attire, appeared quite alluring. Both her figure and appearance were impressive, comparable to those celebrities from her past lives.

Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart: This was the first time I came to the Soul Beast Forest with my grandfather, and I actually encountered a robber?

The five men seemed to be surrounding Yang Wudi. The old man turned around and spoke: "Brother, the five of us are from the Blood Mantis Mercenary Group. I wonder what kind of soul beast you are going to hunt in the Sunset Forest? If you need anything, the five of us can help you."

Yang Wudi didn't even seem to look at them: "No need, we can do it ourselves."

"My dear brother, the five of us are only here to seek wealth. If you hand over all your money, we promise to help you hunt a satisfactory soul beast. Among the five of us, there is one soul king and four soul lords, so hunting soul beasts is easy."

After that, all five of them showed their spirits and spirit rings. As expected, there was one spirit king and four spirit lords. The old man's spirit was a mantis, the three middle-aged men's spirits were a bear, a mouse, and a scimitar, and the only woman's spirit was a snake. However, only the old man had two yellow and three purple spirit rings. The other four had one white, one yellow, and two purple spirit rings.

Yang Wudi sneered and said, "I've already said it's not necessary. If you want to get rich, go find someone else, not me."

The old man didn't seem surprised at all, and continued: "Now it's not a question of whether you want to do it or not, but we must make this deal."

"Oh, so now you're trying to force a sale."

"That's not the case. I guess you're quite strong, brother. But with a child in tow, I'm afraid you're no match for the five of us."

Yang Wudi seemed to ignore the threats from the five men opposite him. Instead, he turned to Yang Podi and said, "Podi, I'm going to teach you a lesson now. Watch carefully."

As soon as Yang Wudi finished speaking, a soul-breaking spear appeared in his hand, and two yellow, two purple and three black soul rings on his body appeared. Then he stabbed the old man in the lead with a spear.

When they saw Yang Wudi’s spirit ring, the opponents were a little stunned.

But at this moment, the Soul-Breaking Spear had already reached the old man opposite. The purple soul ring on the old man's body lit up, and he quickly used his fifth soul skill. A pair of huge mantis legs slashed towards Yang Wudi's attack like a sickle.

The old man's attack was ineffective. The entire mantis was pierced by the Soul-Breaking Spear, and even the old man's body was pierced.

Seeing this, the other four knew they had met a tough guy today and wanted to turn around and leave.

Yang Wudi pointed the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand directly, stabbing one of the middle-aged men, and then swung the Soul-Breaking Spear quickly, knocking one of the middle-aged men away.

The remaining two people were so frightened when they saw this that they quickly ran away. But Yang Wudi would never let them get away. He flew and quickly chased after one of the middle-aged men. The Soul-Breaking Spear ignored the man's soul skills and pierced another middle-aged man's body. The last woman had already run dozens of meters away.

Yang Wudi directly took the Soul-Breaking Spear and shot it out like a javelin. The Soul-Breaking Spear was as fast as lightning and directly nailed the last woman to the ground.

At this moment, the five opponents were wiped out by Yang Wudi, and they couldn't even escape.

Yang Podi watched his grandfather kill five people in a row as smoothly as flowing water. The opponents had no ability to resist at all, and his grandfather didn't even use any soul skills.

The deaths of the five people on the opposite side seemed extremely miserable. Three of them were directly pierced through the body by the Soul-Breaking Spear, and the other middle-aged man was blown up. The only middle-aged man who was not killed instantly was also directly hit by the gun and lay on the ground dying. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

Yang Wudi didn't care about that. He walked up to him and shot him directly, killing him quickly.

At this time, all five people on the opposite side were killed, and their deaths were extremely miserable. There was blood everywhere, and there were even some broken internal organs on the ground.

This was the first time that Yang Podi had seen murder in his previous and present life, and also the first time he had seen such a bloody scene. He couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

Yang Wudi ignored the expression on his grandson's face and said, "Po Die, check the bodies of the five people and take back all the valuables from them."

Seeing this, Yang Podi suppressed the urge to vomit and began to walk towards the bodies of the five people.

The first body they went to was the body of the elderly leader. They saw that the entire body had been pierced through by the Soul-Breaking Spear. There was a huge wound on the chest, and blood was still gushing out of the wound. Even the entire body was stained red with blood.

After groping in the blood for a while, he finally found a soul guide. He then continued to search the other four people. It took him quite a while to finish searching all five of them.

When the search was completed and he returned to Yang Wudi, his body was covered in blood. Yang Wudi couldn't help but vomit, as if he wanted to vomit out everything he had eaten in the past few days.

Yang Wudi ignored the situation and took out a large bag of water and a new set of clothes from his soul guide: "Wash the blood off your body and change into new clothes. We are leaving here soon."

Seeing this, Yang Podi suppressed the trembling of his hands, took the water from his grandfather's hand, carefully washed his body and changed into a new set of clothes.

After changing and washing, Yang Wudi took his grandson's hand and left quickly, as if everything was normal.

Yang Podi felt that his grandfather seemed to have changed completely since he met these five enemies. He no longer had the kindness he used to have. On the contrary, he had become very stern and murderous.

Even his attitude towards his grandson had changed drastically. It seemed as if he was not his grandson, but a stranger.

About half an hour later, the two came to a new open space and Yang Wudi set up the tent again.

The two of them sat together again. At this time, Yang Wudi suddenly spoke up: "Po Di, tell me, from what happened just now to now, what questions do you have? What else can you find?"

Obviously, Yang Wudi wanted to use this to educate his grandson.

Chapter 27: Thousand-pound Ant

Faced with Yang Wudi's question, Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Grandpa, the two of us entered the Sunset Forest without any baggage. It is obvious that the other party is confirming that Grandpa has a soul guide. Soul guides are generally very valuable, at least there is a certain amount of family property."

"Grandpa brought two of us into the Soul Hunting Forest. They knew he might be quite powerful. Just now, they didn't intend to attack Grandpa. Their real target was probably me. They wanted to use me to make Grandpa hesitate."

"Grandpa just killed them all, probably to prevent them from going out and telling others about the situation."

"Also, Grandpa asked me to search them just now. I think he also wanted me to see blood and understand the cruelty of the soul master world."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi nodded: "Not bad, defeating the enemy, being able to understand so much in a short time is really great."

"Why did I kill five people just now? It's not because I'm afraid he would tell the news, but I want to tell you a truth. In the world of soul masters, if you take action, you must cut the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Another point, did you pay attention to my attack just now? I attacked five people in a row just now, and killed them before they could attack you. When we have a lot of soul-breaking spears, we emphasize flexibility and quickly resolve the battle. If you want to develop pure strength, how should you deal with the situation just now?"

"And the most important point is that our Po Yi clan is a fighting clan. Everyone in our clan is a natural warrior and will not be threatened by anything. If you are really caught by them, my Soul-Breaking Spear will only become more powerful without any scruples. This is also the basis for the strength of our Po Yi clan and Soul-Breaking Spear."

After hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help swallowing. It seemed that he really was living in a comfortable environment, forgetting the roots of his family and the cruelty of the world.

"Po Die, think carefully about what I just said. Tell me if you think of anything."

Then, both of them fell into silence.

Yang Podi was thinking carefully about what his grandfather had just said. In the original novel, there were only more than 100 direct disciples of the Poyi clan left, but even so, they did not stop fighting against the Spirit Hall. It was because of this fearless and indomitable spirit of his grandfather that he could fight against the Titled Douluo with the strength of a Soul Douluo.

Thinking of this, Yang Podi couldn't help but wonder, if he could be like his grandfather in the future? Would he have the strength of his grandfather? The Soul-Breaking Spear Technique was developed by the Yang family for generations. Is it really feasible for him to go the route of pure strength?

After thinking about it all night, Yang Podi couldn't fall asleep and didn't know how he finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Yang Po Di slowly opened his eyes and saw his grandfather's big face, who seemed to be looking at him carefully. He was immediately shocked.

Yang Wudi was speechless for a moment. Was he really that scary? Even his grandson was frightened.

However, Yang Wudi had returned to his usual kind appearance at this time: "Po Di, I told you so much yesterday, but it was actually a little early for you, but you should also reflect on it."

"Grandpa, I thought about it carefully last night. I am still determined to take the route of pure strength, no matter how difficult it is."

"Okay, defeat the enemy. Grandpa believes you will succeed. But I will teach you one more lesson first. In the Soul Hunting Forest, you must not fall asleep at any time and must remain alert at all times."

"Okay, grandpa, I understand." Although Yang Podi said he understood, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: He was only six years old, and he followed his grandpa who was a peak Soul Saint out, but he had to rely on himself to be vigilant. It was too deceptive.

After having some breakfast, the two continued their journey to search for soul beasts in the Sunset Forest.

I seemed to be lucky today and soon found a good soul beast. I saw a nest in the distance, which was obviously the nest of a Qianjun ant.

There were countless thousand-ton ants moving around the nest, and one of them looked very large, more than seven and a half inches long, even close to eight inches long.

In any soul beast forest, the Thousand Jun Ant is a very common soul beast, and there are a lot of them, but most of them are ten-year soul beasts, and those that break through a hundred years are relatively rare.

The Thousand-Bound Ant is a spirit beast with extremely strong vitality. Its body has outstanding defensive capabilities and strong resistance to blows. It also has incredible strength, with strength far beyond its body proportions. Because of this, the Thousand-Bound Ant is also the favorite of all power-type spirit masters, and its strength increase is extremely exaggerated.

Generally speaking, a 10-year-old ant is about three inches long, with only a pair of saber teeth in its mouth that can bite off hard objects. A 100-year-old ant is no longer than six inches long, and only after a thousand years of cultivation can it grow to one foot. Thousand-year-old ants are extremely rare and difficult to find.

The largest Qianjun ant that has been heard of is only about one meter long and has been cultivating for more than 30,000 years.

Some time ago, the leader of the Power Clan, Titan, broke through to Soul Douluo, and the leaders of the four families with the surname Shan went together to hunt for soul rings. According to Yang Wudi's description, the defense of the 30,000-year-old Qianjun Ant was very strong, and even he had to spend a lot of effort to break through its defense. Its strength was even more exaggerated, not inferior to that of ordinary 70,000-80,000-year-old soul beasts. If Yang Wudi did not take action, I am afraid that Titan might not be able to defeat the 30,000-year-old Qianjun Ant.

"Destroy the enemy, that big Qianjun Ant is probably over 500 years old, closer to 600 years old. What do you think?"

"Grandpa, aren't there any other better soul beasts? I always feel that the Qianjun Ant is a little bit weak. How about we look for some more dragon soul beasts?"

Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart: He is a time traveler, but he actually uses an ant as his first soul ring. He always feels that it is too low-class.

"Defeat the enemy, you don't understand. For a strength-type soul master, the Qianjun Ant is a top-notch product. Old Titan's eighth soul ring and soul skill effects are so good that even I envy him. More importantly, his physical strength has also improved a lot."

After thinking for a while, Yang Podi spoke: "Grandpa, this is the Qianjun Ant. Please help me catch it."

Yang Wudi nodded upon hearing this. He then quickly rushed towards the Thousand Jun Ants. With a jolt of his Soul-Breaking Spear, he sent all the smaller Thousand Jun Ants flying. He then stabbed the larger Thousand Jun Ant. With just one stab, a large wound appeared on the Thousand Jun Ant's body, and blood flowed profusely.

Before the other Thousand Jun Ants could react, they grabbed the Thousand Jun Ant and quickly left.

With Yang Wudi's strength as a peak Soul Saint, it was easy for him to deal with a mere hundred-year-old soul beast.

After Yang Wudi returned, he didn't stay, but instead took Yang Podi's hand and quickly left. This place was too close to the Qianjun Ant's nest, so if they wanted to absorb the spirit ring, they had to go a little further to prevent any accidents.

Chapter 28 The First Soul Ring

After Yang Wudi found an open space, he put down both the Thousand Army Ants and Yang Podi, with a worried look on his face: "Podi, to obtain spirit rings, you have to hunt them yourself. Now, go and kill this Thousand Army Ant."

"Break the enemy, you need to think carefully again. The age of this Qianjun Ant is much higher than the age of normal spirit ring absorption. The risk factor will be very high, and the absorption process will be very painful."

"Grandpa, you should have tested my physical strength. I will definitely succeed."

Looking at the injured Qianjun Ant in front of him, Yang Podi summoned his own martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and stabbed it directly into the Qianjun Ant's eyes, instantly piercing the Qianjun Ant's eyes. The Qianjun Ant immediately bled profusely and died.

Immediately afterwards, a yellow soul ring appeared above the body of the Qianjun Ant.

Yang Podi looked at the spirit ring and sat cross-legged on the ground. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mental state to the best, and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Following the spirit ring absorption method, Yang Podi raised his right hand, concentrating all his spirit power in his palm. With a flash of sharp light, a black soul-breaking spear appeared in his hand. Simultaneously, Yang Podi's entire body seemed to react, as if he too was yearning for the spirit ring. Clearly, the Qianjun Ant's spirit ring was a perfect match for his martial spirit.

But Yang Podi didn't pay any attention to it. Under the guidance of his soul power, the spirit ring of the Thousand Jun Ant slowly flew towards him. At this moment, as the spirit ring of the Thousand Jun Ant approached, he felt an unprecedentedly strong pressure, and even his bones made a slight sound under this pressure.

Especially after the soul ring approached the top of his head, a huge force surged into his body from the soul ring. This force seemed to exceed Yang Podi's own limit. After entering his body, it began to rush around, and both his meridians and blood vessels felt as if they were about to burst.

At the critical moment, Yang Podi's own martial soul began to take effect, and began to gradually absorb this power, and his body gradually calmed down.

Without giving him any chance to react, the yellow halo suddenly shrank and turned into a bracelet-sized, yet extremely solid soul ring that landed directly on the Soul-Breaking Spear martial soul in the palm of his right hand. Yang Podi felt as if his right hand was invading magma, a stream of scorching energy madly poured into it, and a violent heat flow instantly rushed into his body, instantly, his internal organs were burning, and his body could not help but tremble violently.

At this moment, Yang Podi used all his strength, gathered his mind, and began to use meditation to guide the energy pouring into his body to flow throughout his body. The Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand, under the influence of this force, seemed to have experienced countless strikes, and the gun body gradually became deeper and gloomier, like a piece of ordinary iron that had been hammered a thousand times.

At this time, Yang Podi could see more clearly the direction of the flow of soul power in his body, the internal structure of his body, and his own mind. It was like a giant holding a Soul-Breaking Spear in a sea of ​​fire. The giant was strong, and the Soul-Breaking Spear stood proudly in the sea of ​​fire, indomitable.

I don't know how long it took, but the powerful energy in my body gradually merged into one, and my whole body became warm and comfortable. My meridians seemed to have widened a lot, and the flow of soul power became faster, as if my body had broken through a bottleneck.

"It's done. The first soul ring has finally been absorbed successfully."

When Yang Podi slowly opened his eyes, he felt that his body was extremely unobstructed. The power and strength of his whole body were greatly improved. He seemed to be full of strength, and his body was much stronger than before. He even grew a lot taller.

Yang Wudi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Podi successfully absorb the first soul ring. After all, this was a soul ring that was nearly 600 years old, which was the highest record for the first soul ring in the soul world, and it was also a historical breakthrough.

"Grandpa, I succeeded. I absorbed my first spirit ring successfully."

Yang Wudi's face was also filled with satisfaction: "Defeat the enemy, you are really good, you actually absorbed it successfully. You are worthy of being my grandson, Yang Wudi."

"Podi, let me check you out to see if there's anything wrong with your body, or if you have any hidden injuries or something like that?"

"Grandpa, I feel very healthy now, there will be absolutely no problem."

But Yang Wudi ignored Yang Podi's objection and carefully checked his body. Finally, he said, "Yes, there is indeed nothing wrong with his body, and he seems to be much stronger. How is it? Podi, the spirit ring of Qianjun Ant is good, right?"

"Break the enemy, what is the soul skill of your first soul ring? What is the effect?"

"Grandpa, the name of my first soul ring's soul skill is Thousand-pound Strength, and it has a very good effect. When I use the first soul skill, my physical strength increases by 12%, and the power of the Soul Breaking Spear increases by %, and it lasts for ten minutes. And my soul power is now at level ."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi swallowed his saliva and said, "Po Die, your first soul skill is really good. I'm afraid it's comparable to the thousand-year soul skill of the Power Clan. Moreover, I rarely hear of weapon spirits that can increase physical strength. Usually, this effect can only be achieved after the seventh soul skill."

Hearing what his grandfather said, Yang Podi could not help but smile. After becoming a Soul Saint, a Soul Master and his weapon soul could be in perfect harmony, especially the mental power. However, he had two souls, and the second soul was his body soul. The harmony between the souls would be better, so his body could also be amplified.

Just like before becoming a Soul Saint, many people can only see their weapon spirits when looking inward, but they can see the body that holds the weapon spirit in their hands. This is the spiritual connection between the weapon spirit and the body.

Especially the power-type soul beasts, and they are power-type soul beasts that have surpassed their age. Not only have their weapon spirits been improved, but even their body spirits have been strengthened a little bit, which can be called perfect.
