Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

Chapter 45 Dugu Yan

The three of them were silent for a while, and finally Niu Jinfeng spoke up: "Yanyan, you should try fighting Po Di for a while. If you win, you can fight two of them one by one."

Dugu Yan seemed full of confidence: "Alright! Then I will defeat Yang Podi first, and then I will fight with you two."

After saying that, he walked straight onto the training ground, appearing extremely relaxed, as if he was really facing two little kids.

Yang Ping'an quickly left the martial arts training ground, approached Niu Jinfeng and began to prepare to watch the fight, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

There were only Dugu Yan and Yang Podi on the martial arts training ground.

Dugu Yan, like a little adult, began to introduce his martial spirit and soul power: "Dugu Yan, martial spirit is the Jade Phosphorus Snake, and I am a level 21 control-type great soul master. Please give me your advice!"

Seeing this, Yang Podi also introduced himself: "Yang Podi's martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, a level 22 strong attack system great soul master. Please give me your advice!"

Dugu Yan seemed a little surprised when she heard this: "Yang Podi, you are already level 22? How is this possible?"

Yang Podi couldn't help thinking in his heart, Dugu is now ten and a half years old, which means he will be 11 years old in half a year, and he is only level 21 now. According to this development, after another year and a half of training, he will be at most level 25 to 26, barely reaching the standard to join Shrek.

Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family is probably about the same, but both Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng are already geniuses, after all, they are trained by the two major families. From this, we can see what kind of talents Shrek has recruited? Even Zhu Zhuqing, who has the lowest soul power, may be able to serve as the captain of a strong team after a soul master competition.

Yang Podi ignored Dugu Yan's surprise and directly summoned his own martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear. Then two yellow soul rings flashed under his feet, which was the strength of a great soul master.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan on the opposite side immediately summoned out his own martial spirit, the Green Phosphorus Snake, and two yellow spirit rings appeared under his feet.

Yang Podi carefully observed Dugu Yan's spirit. It seemed to be covered by a green phosphorus snake, and he could control the snake's movements and attacks. Could this be the difference between a beast spirit and a weapon spirit?

At this moment, my mother Niu Jinfeng seemed to have transformed into a referee: "Both sides have completed their spirit summons, and the match begins!"

Dugu Yanzhao was seen controlling a green phosphorus snake, and the snake's head quickly pounced towards Yang Podi, like a prey.

Yang Podi swung the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand and stabbed at the flying green phosphorus snake.

The Green Phosphorus Snake and the Soul-Breaking Spear suddenly collided with each other. At this time, Yang Podi's Soul-Breaking Spear martial spirit weighed 300 kilograms, and the spear head was very sharp, which directly pierced a hole in the Green Phosphorus Snake.

Dugu Yan seemed to feel a little pain, and a dark green gas spurted out of the mouth of the Green Phosphorus Snake and attacked Yang Podi at a rapid speed. It was obviously the Green Phosphorus Snake's own poison.

Yang Podi held the Soul-Breaking Spear in both hands and used a stabbing technique, thrusting it forward with all his might. A burst of spear light instantly pierced through the dark green gas. He then quickly flew forward, heading straight for Dugu Yan across from him.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan seemed to have a smile on her lips, and saw the tail of the green phosphorus snake flying towards Yang Podi quickly, like a whip.

Yang Podi was not surprised at all, nor did he have any intention of retreating. Instead, he swept the Soul-Breaking Spear directly at the tail of the Green Phosphorus Snake, instantly knocking the tail away. Before Dugu Yan could react, he swung the Soul-Breaking Spear again, using the spear-splitting technique to directly split the poisonous gas around Dugu Yan's body. Immediately afterwards, the spear blade was already against Dugu Yan's neck.

The Pozhi clan's Pohun spear focuses on the word "po", which actually means stabbing, but the basic spear techniques that Yang Podi learned are more comprehensive. In addition to stabbing, there are also sweeping, chopping, twisting, picking, blocking, etc., which will be more comprehensive. This is also the reason why Yang Podi has been determined to increase his strength spirit ring. Because this will make his offense and defense more comprehensive, and he will be more powerful in the later stages.

Top masters like Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu rarely use spirit skills anymore, relying more on basic skills and self-created spirit skills. However, Tang San's Seagod Trident weighs a full 108000 jin, which is the fundamental reason why Tang San can fight Bibi Dong just after becoming a Titled Douluo.

At this moment, Dugu Yan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that he would lose so easily and so quickly.

Dugu Yan's first two soul skills are Jade Phosphorus and Red Poison, and Paralysis Poison. Jade Phosphorus and Red Poison is a hyperactive poison that stimulates nerves, increasing attack power and speed by 20%. Her second soul skill, Paralysis Poison, eliminates pain for allies and increases defense by 30%. It's essentially useless in a one-on-one duel, so it's safe to say she's already at her full strength.

However, Yang Podi did not use any soul skills from beginning to end, and even used the spear only once. It can be said that he won easily with less than half of his strength.

Yang Podi retracted his Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Spirit: "Sister Yanyan, I'm sorry, you lost."

Dugu Yan also found it a little unbelievable: "I actually lost so quickly, to a kid who is two years younger than me?"

Yang Podi glanced at Dugu Yan and couldn't help shaking his head: Dugu Yan is just a little girl who has never seen the world, never understood the competition among soul masters, and has never suffered any setbacks.

Just as Yang Podi was about to leave, Dugu Yan spoke again: "Wait, don't leave yet, let's fight again, I don't believe you can beat me so quickly."

Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. His soul was already that of an adult, so how could he still be entangled by a little girl?

"Sister Yanyan, don't forget that I didn't use any soul skills just now."

After Yang Podi finished speaking, he left without looking back. He still had to study, so he didn't have time to pay attention to her.

After hearing what Yang Podi said, Dugu Yan seemed to understand something: This kid was able to defeat her without even using his soul skills, so how strong could he be?

After breakfast, Yang Podi and Yang Pingan prepared to go to class. Dugu Yan seemed a little curious about Yang Podi and followed him to class.

Since he became a Great Soul Master, Yang Podi didn't want to go to class, especially the theory class, but after being taught by his parents and the teacher, he had no choice but to give in. However, during class, Yang Podi spent more time meditating, and he had already learned the knowledge taught by the teacher by reading books.

Dugu Yan followed Yang Podi and Yang Pingan all day long. At dinner time, she couldn't help but ask, "Yang Podi, shouldn't we soul masters focus on improving our soul power? Why don't you spend any time meditating? Is your exercise useful?"

"Sister Yanyan, I meditate in my room every night. Although we are soul masters, our bodies are our foundation. Only when our bodies are stronger can the meditation be more effective. Especially after exercising and taking a medicinal bath every afternoon, the meditation effect will be even better."

"Then don't you have other activities on weekdays? Like shopping, playing, hanging out with friends, etc."

"As a soul master, I think strength is the most important thing. We are still young, and this is the best time for us to train. If we want to play, there will be plenty of time in the future."

After hearing this, Dugu Yan was a little speechless: Is this a child? It's simply a monster.

Chapter 46: A Day in the Life of Duguyan

The next morning, when Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an got up to practice their spear skills, Dugu Yan unexpectedly came as well, leaving them both speechless.

Seeing the two people's surprised eyes, Dugu was also a little arrogant: "Why, only you two can do it? Can't I come to train too?"

Yang Po Di couldn't help but shake his head, picked up his usual iron spear, and started practicing.

Recently, Yang Po Di has completed the practice of basic spear techniques and is now preparing to learn some relatively more advanced spear techniques. However, they are all the Overlord Spear Techniques, Yue Family Spear Techniques, and Yang Family Spear Techniques, which he had only a superficial understanding of in his previous life.

As a layman in martial arts in my previous life, I only knew some basic moves of these handed down spear techniques, and even learned many of them on the Internet. I didn’t know the essence at all. But now I have plenty of time to study and research slowly.

Dugu Yan watched as both of them were practicing their marksmanship, but he himself knew nothing about it and had never even touched a gun before, so he had no idea where to start.

Finally, Dugu Yan couldn't help but interrupt the two people's practice: "You two stop for a moment and don't practice for now."

Yang Podi was puzzled: "Sister Yanyan, is there anything wrong? Morning is a good time for exercise, we can't waste it."

"Can you two teach me how to shoot?"

"Sister Yanyan, you have a beast spirit, why do you need to practice spear skills? It's totally unnecessary."

"So you two are practicing your marksmanship, what should I practice?"

Yang Podi thought about it carefully, but there didn't seem to be anything else he could do to help Dugu Yan exercise. Then, he suddenly remembered the Shrek Academy in the original novel, where students were required to run while carrying rocks on their backs. While this type of exercise wouldn't have any miraculous effects, it did have some effect on the Beast Spirit.

Dugu Yan is a beast martial soul, and a rare control-type one at that. Practicing running more often will help him run faster in the future. At least he won't be so easily targeted.

"Sister Yanyan, I'll teach you an exercise method. Take a weight from us, carry it on your back, and run along the entire training ground, or along the entire Poyi Clan. This will also be very effective."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan was puzzled. "Running with weights on your back? Will that work? I've never heard of this kind of exercise before."

"Weighted running can improve one's physical resilience, especially after fatigue. The effects will be even better if you take a medicinal bath, exercise, and meditate. All of us in the Poyi Clan will be carrying weights to climb the mountain this afternoon. How about you join us this afternoon?"

"Okay, I'll try it as you say. If it doesn't work, I'll make trouble for you. My sister's poison is very scary."

Hearing this, Yang Podi and Yang Pingan were a little speechless. How could a defeated general be so arrogant? Even in terms of poison, she was not necessarily stronger than the Poyi clan.

For two hours in the morning, Dugu Yan ran with a weight on her back. Although the weight was relatively small, she was still exhausted and out of breath.

When Yang Podi and Yang Pingan finished their morning gun training, Dugu Yan also stopped running and walked up to them: "You two are just practicing gun skills, is this training intensity okay?"

Yang Podi and Yang Pingan just smiled when they heard this. At this time, Yang Pingan said, "Sister Yanyan, try to use the gun that big brother just practiced with. Then you will know."

Dugu Yan was confused and walked to the gun rack and grabbed the gun that Yang Podi used in the morning. Suddenly, a huge force came from the gun and his hands were a little unsteady.

"Why is this gun so heavy? It must weigh at least two hundred pounds. Have you been practicing with it all morning?"

"Sister Yanyan, this gun does weigh exactly 50 kilograms, but Big Brother is also carrying 100 kilograms of luggage. Although I'm not that heavy, the combined weight of the luggage and the gun is almost kilograms."

At this moment, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "How on earth did you do it? You are only 8 years old."

Yang Podi thought for a moment: "Practice, practice non-stop, and absorb the soul rings of power-type soul beasts."

After hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but complain in her heart: Eight years old, is this really eight years old? Is this something an eight-year-old can do?

Yang Podi ignored Dugu Yan and went back to his room alone to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and then prepared to have breakfast.

After the family had breakfast, Yang Podi, Yang Pingan and Dugu Yan came to the family primary school to start their morning study.

However, throughout the morning, Yang Podi was either reading a book or meditating alone, and basically didn't pay attention to the class.

However, with the arrival of Dugu Yan, she attracted the attention of a bunch of children around. Although these children were very young, they were eight or nine years old and knew a little bit about things. They all surrounded Dugu Yan, leaving him speechless.

After learning about alchemy in the afternoon, Yang Podi and his team started their afternoon exercise. When they first came here, their afternoon exercise mainly involved weight-bearing mountain climbing.

But according to Yang Podi's plan, many items were added to the afternoon, and it was no longer as monotonous as before.

Specifically, it includes weighted running, weighted climbing, weighted swimming, weighted frog jumping, etc. After all the operations, everyone will be exhausted and feel like they would rather die than live.

The first time Dugu Yan took part in exercise, she was determined not to go for the weighted swimming part because she was not a good landlubber and as a girl she didn’t really like swimming.

Secondly, as a ten-year-old girl, Dugu Yan thought she was no worse than boys, so she chose the same weight as her peers. This was quite a bummer, as she was almost exhausted after only half the time.

Finally, someone helped me to the rest area.

In the evening, the three were brought back home by Niu Jinfeng. However, they were so tired that they almost fell down, especially Dugu Yan. Her limbs were so weak that she had no strength in her whole body. She had to be carried back by Niu Jinfeng.

After returning home, the three of them took medicinal baths in their respective rooms, and the supplies for the baths had already been prepared.

As a family of soul masters, there are quite a few servants in the family. Several servants are mainly responsible for chores such as cooking, boiling water, and washing clothes, while the medicinal bath is prepared by Niu Jinfeng herself.

The whole medicinal bath process lasted for half an hour. After half an hour, the three of them had recovered some energy and the whole family prepared to have dinner together.

The dinner was very rich, with soul beast meat, vegetables, staple foods and stews.

After taking the medicinal bath, Dugu Yan seemed to have recovered a lot. He became more active and his body seemed to be particularly unobstructed.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own rooms and began today's meditation.

At this time, Duguyan found that today was a bit strange. In the past, she had medicinal baths every day, but after exercising this afternoon, the effect of the medicinal baths was obviously much better than before, and the meditation at night seemed to be much smoother than usual. What was the reason for this?

Dugu Yan seemed a little confused, but she still suppressed her curiosity and tried to meditate.

Chapter 47 Three Major Events

For the next period of time, Dugu Yan trained and studied with Yang Podi and Yang Pingan.

Obviously Dugu Yan is also a strong-willed girl. Although her training intensity is far inferior to that of Yang Podi and Yang Pingan, she can still barely hold on.

Niu Jinfeng also went to Yang Podi privately: "Son, what do you think of Yanyan?"

Yang Podi was a little confused: "Sister Yanyan is not bad, she is hardworking and talented. Although the poison in her body is troublesome, there is a solution."

Hearing this, Niu Jinfeng was speechless for a while: "Son, I'm asking about Yanyan's personality? Is she pretty? How do you two feel about getting along with each other?"

"I think it's pretty good. Sister Yanyan is a very nice person, and we are all happy getting along with each other."

"Son, have you ever thought about letting Yanyan be your wife?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm only eight years old. Isn't it too early to talk about this kind of thing now?"

"It's not too early. Nowadays, many young people get married and have children before they are 20 years old. You don't have many years left, so you have time to think about it."

Hearing this, Yang Podi was speechless: "Mom, I'm still young, so I won't consider this matter for now."

In the end, the conversation ended hastily. Yang Podi said that he was too young and didn't want to think about these things for the time being, and Niu Jinfeng was helpless.

After finishing the conversation, Yang Podi thought to himself: According to the original novel, Dugu Yan is with Yu Tianheng, and the two families also want to form an alliance. Now that the Pozhi clan can cure the Dugu family's ancestral martial soul poisoning problem, could it be that the two families want to form an alliance?

I am still young, only eight years old, and I haven’t seen so many beauties in the original book yet. I feel a little unwilling.

Ten days later, Dugu Xin took Dugu Yan home because the treatment was completed. In the end, Dugu Yan was reluctant to leave and cried like a little girl before leaving. However, both parties agreed to play together often in the future.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Po Di is already 11 and a half years old.

A lot of big things happened in the past three years. First of all, under the treatment of Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, Dugu Bo's poisoning condition was greatly alleviated, and there were almost no sequelae in the short term. Dugu Bo also took this opportunity to finally break through to the Titled Douluo.

Since Dugu Bo had always been a guest official of the Tiandou royal family, the Tiandou Empire began to have its own Titled Douluo.

However, Dugu Bo was a particularly unruly person. He became a guest of the Tiandou royal family only to repay Prince Xuexing for his help. As for how much help he could provide at a critical moment, it was hard to say.

Dugu Bo's life was very monotonous. He either practiced in his own house, or joined the Pozhi clan to study poisons, or trained alone in the forest. He was a lone ranger.

Secondly, earth-shaking changes have also taken place within the Poyi clan. Grandfather Yang Wudi has been promoted to level 86, and second grandfather Yang Wushuang has been promoted to level 85. Both of them are now almost promoted by one level every year, and they should not encounter any bottlenecks in the short term.

My dad's situation is even more exaggerated. He has also reached level 85. His soul power is increasing faster than that of my two grandfathers. If he continues like this, he will surpass them sooner or later.

Now the two grandfathers are under a lot of pressure. If their soul power level is surpassed by their son or nephew, it will be embarrassing. How can they be the clan leader in the future?

As a result, the two of them have recently been spending more time on cultivation, even less time refining medicine. This left Dugu Bo, who had come to visit, speechless. What about the promise to study poisons together? Why are you two so focused on cultivation? Moreover, you didn't practice diligently when you were young, but now that you're old, you're doing it instead. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Although he said so, Dugu Bo does not like fighting with Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang. These two are fighting maniacs, or even fighting perverts. They are only at the soul power level of Soul Douluo, but in a battle, they can't even beat Dugu Bo himself. Are they really going to live up to their reputation as the weakest Titled Douluo?

As for the ninth-grade purple ganoderma that was contributed to the family, after some communication between the two grandfathers, they finally chose to use it together with many high-value medicinal herbs. They even took a lot of herbs from Yang Podi and refined them into pills. It is said that on the day the pills came out, the two grandfathers were like crazy.

Two of the six elders broke through to the Soul Douluo level, and the remaining four became high-level Soul Saints.

And my mother's soul power is increasing very quickly, even a little exaggerated, because she is already level 79, and she has increased by 6 levels in just three years. If this speed were to be spread out, it would scare a lot of people to death.
