Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

Chapter 65 Team Establishment

Since it was the first day of school, there were no arrangements for the afternoon and all students were free to do what they wanted.

That afternoon, Yang Podi gathered several people from the four single-attribute families. Especially when he saw Tailong's nonchalant look, he couldn't help but want to beat him up.

Yang Pingan was the first to speak: "Brother, aren't we going to practice in the afternoon? I feel that the environment of Tiandou Royal Academy is quite good."

Yang Podi pondered for a moment before speaking: "Prince Xue Qinghe came to me today. They wanted me to participate in this Soul Master Competition, but I have rejected it. My goal is to participate in the next Soul Master Competition."

"I have communicated with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three members of the Education Committee. I will form the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy. I will be responsible for all matters of the second team, including recruiting and training personnel, etc."

"I want to confirm with all four of you now whether you have the confidence to participate in the next Soul Master Competition with me."

After hearing this, the four of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all only 12 years old now, and the next Soul Master Competition would be in seven years. Wasn't it too early to make a decision so early?

Without waiting for the four to say anything, Yang Podi spoke again: "Tai Long, Niu Meng, Bai Xiaofei, the three of you are direct disciples of the single-attribute family, and you will inherit the position of family patriarch in the future. The relationship between the four single-attribute families in the Tiandou Empire is delicate. If you want to inherit the position of patriarch, you must have strength. I hope that you all have the strength to be a patriarch, so that our four single-attribute families can develop better."

After hearing this, the three of them started to look serious. As heirs of the family, they enjoyed many benefits of the family, and naturally they would have corresponding responsibilities. Now we are both 12 years old and no longer children.

Niu Meng spoke first: "Brother, I am willing to join the team, but your training method is too intense, I am afraid I can't stand it."

"Cousin, you can rest assured about this. I will develop a training plan based on your physical conditions. Although it will be difficult, it will not affect your completion."

Niu Meng seemed relieved: "That's fine, big brother, don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate and become the patriarch of the Yu clan in the future."

After listening to it, Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei also expressed their willingness to join.

Seeing that the three had joined, Yang Podi spoke again: "The current soul power levels of the three of you are still too low. From now on, your training will mainly focus on attending classes at the academy every morning. In the afternoon, you need to run 50 kilometers with weights. After running, you will take a medicinal bath. At night, you will meditate in your respective simulated environments."

After hearing this, the three of them swallowed their saliva: Running 50 kilometers with a weight, is this still possible for a human being to do?

Niu Meng seemed to regret it a little: "Brother, isn't 50 kilometers of weighted running too much? And how heavy a weight do we need?"

Yang Podi looked at Niu Meng and the other two and said, "For a soul master, the body is everything. Only when the body is strong, the speed of cultivation and other things will be much faster. Especially after you run with weights every day, the effect of taking a medicinal bath will be much better, and the speed of meditation will also be greatly improved, which can also improve your soul power faster."

"As for how much weight you need to carry? I will make it based on your actual situation."

"The training conditions at Tiandou Royal Academy are excellent. Whether it's the simulated environment or the food provided in the academy cafeteria, they're all excellent, even better than your family's. I'll apply for medicinal bath materials for our team members. You don't have to worry about anything else. All you have to do is practice hard."

"Tai Long, find some time to create weights of various weights. Starting tomorrow, Bai Xiaofei's weight will be temporarily set at 10 kilograms, Niu Meng's at 20 kilograms, and Tai Long's at 30 kilograms. Except for the medicinal bath, you cannot take off the weights at other times."

Hearing this, the three of them felt a little guilty, and Tai Long said, "Brother, isn't the 30 kilograms of weight I carry a little too heavy?"

"You three all have beast spirits, and you are all great spirit masters. Logically, your physical fitness should be stronger than Ping An's. Ping An is carrying 40 kilograms of weight on his body, while I am carrying 130 kilograms of weight. The two of us are only weapon spirit masters. Is your physical fitness so poor?"

"Starting tomorrow, Ping An and I will go to the Tiandou City Great Soul Fighting Arena to fight every night. When you reach level 25, you must also go to fight every day, and you must participate in two fights every day until you obtain the Silver Soul Fighting Badge."

"Also, I will inform your fathers about you joining the team and training with me. I believe they will support me."

The three of them were speechless after hearing this. If their father knew that they had joined the team and were training with Yang Po Di, he would be so happy that he would not be able to contain his joy. How could he possibly object?

And with the amount of training I just mentioned, everyone would probably be exhausted, but it seems too late to object now.

In the end, the three of them had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that the three of them agreed, Yang Podi spoke again: "Now your soul power is only level 21, which is too low. There are still seven years before we participate in the next Soul Master Competition. In the seven years, your soul power must at least reach the Soul Master level. In other words, you have to increase your soul power by 19 levels, and at least 2.7 levels every year. Only in this way can you show your strength in the Soul Master Competition. Otherwise, it will be difficult to participate in the Soul Master Competition."

The three of them swallowed their saliva again. Improving soul power by 2.7 levels every year is a bit difficult.

Seeing that the three seemed a little confused, he said, "Don't worry, as long as you train according to what I say, I guarantee that you can reach the level of Soul Sect before the age of 19. This will also live up to our reputation as the heirs of the four single-attribute families."

I remember in the original novel, when Tai Long participated in the Soul Master Competition, his Soul Power was level 37. As long as Tai Long worked hard to practice, it would be no problem to increase his Soul Power by three levels, not to mention that the conditions for practice are so good now. As for Niu Meng and Bai Xiaofei, they should be about the same.

As for the immortal grass, Yang Podi had no plans to use it on anyone, not even Yang Pingan at this stage. With everyone practicing together, a sudden surge in soul power could easily arouse suspicion. Especially with Tailong and Bai Xiaofei, the future was uncertain, so they had to be cautious.

As for other basic training methods, it doesn’t matter. Whether it is weighted running or the training method you are about to design, it will not have much impact.

As for giving Yang Ping'an the magic herb, it would not be too late to give it to him after the Soul Master Competition is over.

Chapter 66 Duguyan Visits

After Yang Podi finished telling the four people the specific plan, he dismissed them all and left them to deal with the rest of the matters on their own.

In the afternoon, Yang Podi came to the Education Committee building again. However, the three Education Committee members seemed to be busy in the afternoon, so he had to wait for a while before it was his turn to be received.

The three members of the Education Committee seemed a little surprised to see Yang Podi coming: "Student Yang Podi, we meet again so soon, what do you want to talk to us about?"

"Three members of the Education Committee, regarding the matter of me forming the second team for the Soul Master Competition seven years later, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince confirmed it?"

Meng Shenji, the education committee member, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has confirmed and agreed to your request. From now on, you will be the captain of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy, responsible for the selection and training of the team members. The second team will not be assigned a team leader."

"Thank you three members of the Education Committee. I have already selected several players for the next Soul Master Competition. They are Yang Ping'an, Tai Long, Niu Meng, and Bai Xiaofei. All four of them are now Great Soul Masters. I would like to start training them now."

"Starting training now? Isn't it too early? After all, there are still seven years to go."

"Three members of the Education Committee, the participants of the Soul Master Competition must be at least high-level Soul Masters. My plan is to strengthen their training so that by the time we participate in the competition, we will have at least many Soul Masters. With the students' current grades, it may be difficult, so I plan to train them in advance."

"Student Yang Podi, you are very thoughtful. I wonder what problem you have with us?"

"Three members of the Education Committee, regarding the issue of the students' training, I would like the academy to provide us with a separate training venue, preferably one that is larger in size, and I will arrange for the students to train at that time. In addition, for those who will participate in the competition in the future, can you provide support in terms of medicinal baths?"

The three members of the Education Committee seemed to communicate with each other for a while, and then Education Committee Member Meng Shenji spoke: "Student Yang Podi, regarding the training ground, the No. 3 training ground is still vacant. I can allocate it to you for training. As for the medicinal bath, the academy will have special funds for the teams participating in the Soul Master Competition. You can go directly to the Education Department to collect it. Of course, we will also give you the title of team leader."

"Oh, there is one more thing. Although you are a part-time teacher, sometimes if you go on stage, there are still many things to deal with. We will arrange for Teacher Li to assist you in leading the team, so that you will have more time to practice."

"Thank you three members of the Education Committee!"

Yang Podi communicated with the three education committee members again for a while. The three education committee members encouraged Yang Podi and the second team. Finally, Yang Podi took the documents signed by the three education committee members themselves before leaving.

The document included the appointment of Yang Podi as the next teacher and captain of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy, responsible for the training of the team members.

There is also a document that allocates the No. 3 training ground to Yang Po Di's team.

Finally, there is a document for the special subsidy for the second team of Tiandou Royal College. With this document, you can go to the logistics department of the college to collect relevant medicinal baths, medicinal materials and other supplies.

At this point, the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy has been roughly formed, including three strong attack members: Yang Podi, Yang Pingan and Tailong. One agile attack member: Bai Xiaofei. One defensive member: Niu Meng. Now they only lack control and support, but for Yang Podi, this is not a problem. If it doesn't work, he can just go to the academy to recruit a few more.

That night, Yang Podi was meditating alone in his dormitory when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Yang Podi was surprised because he had just arrived at Tiandou Royal Academy and didn't have any friends. Why would someone knock on the door?

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Dugu Yan who came with a girl.

"Sister Yanyan, long time no see. Why are you coming to my dormitory so late?"

Dugu Yan seemed a little excited: "Yang Podi, you little brat, you came to Tiandou Royal Academy to study without even telling me, didn't I tell you a long time ago that I was studying at Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Sister Yanyan, I'm really busy today and have a lot of things to do."

"Don't call me Sister Yanyan anymore. Just call me Sister Yan from now on. You are not a child anymore."

"Well, Sister Yan, how did you know I came to Tiandou Royal Academy?"

Dugu Yan was speechless. "Who doesn't know that you are at Tiandou Royal Academy? Yang Podi, a genius disciple of the Po Yi clan, has the Pohun Spear as his martial soul. He is only 12 years old, but his soul power is already at level 35. He has been admitted to Tiandou Royal Academy. Now the entire Tiandou Royal Academy knows about it. It will probably not take a few days for the entire Tiandou City to know about it."

Hearing this, Yang Podi was speechless. Although he knew that this admission would attract attention, he did not expect it to cause such a sensation.

"Sister Yan, I don't want to be famous like this. Come sit in my dormitory first."

He welcomed the two into the dormitory's living room and poured them a cup of tea.

Regarding this dormitory, Yang Podi sighed more than once, saying that Tiandou Royal Academy is really luxurious. Not only is the dormitory a stand-alone building, but it also has a full range of facilities, including a kitchen, bedroom, living room, and even a conference room. It is almost suitable for a team to live in for a long time.

The girl who came with Dugu Yan seemed to be her classmate. She was about the same age as Dugu Yan, with a slim figure, a black veil covering her face, and a waterfall of long blue hair draped behind her. She had a pair of extremely beautiful big eyes, the same color as her hair, but she looked more quiet and seemed a little familiar.

"Sister Yan, how do you know where my dormitory is?"

Duguyan smiled slightly and said, "Now you are a celebrity in Tiandou Royal Academy. I will ask the teacher in the teaching department and I will know where you live."

"Sister Yan, you have good connections. You can just find a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy."

"What are you talking about, you little brat? We haven't seen each other for only half a year. Do you miss me, Sister Yan?"

Yang Podi couldn't help but smile. Ever since Dugu Yan followed his father to visit the Pozhi clan three years ago, the relationship between the two families seemed to be getting closer and closer. Every once in a while, Dugu Yan would go to visit the Pozhi clan, and Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an would occasionally follow their parents to visit the Dugu family in Tiandou City.

The three of them were not much different in age, and they were all considered geniuses, so they gradually communicated more and more.

Dugu Yan, in particular, is a rather bold and heroic person, giving her a bit of an older sister vibe. Both Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an like her quite a bit, and they are also quite familiar with each other.

Yang Podi was a little confused: "Sister Yan, what's the matter with you coming to my dormitory so late?"

"Nothing much. I heard that you came to study at the Royal Academy and became so famous all of a sudden. So I brought my sisters here to see you and get to know you, a celebrity."

Chapter 67 Duguyan and Ye Lingling

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Yang Podi felt speechless. They were all so familiar with each other, yet they came to meet each other in the middle of the night.

Duguyan seemed to have thought of something and began to introduce the girl who came with her: "Podi, this is my classmate, Ye Lingling. Today, news about you has spread throughout the school. Lingling is also quite curious, so I brought him here to meet you."

Yang Podi was a little surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that this girl was Ye Lingling, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, the auxiliary soul master of the Tiandou Royal Academy team in the original novel. Her healing ability was incredible. Unfortunately, there was no news about her afterwards.

Yang Podi began to introduce himself: "Hello, classmate Ye Lingling, my name is Yang Podi, I am 12 years old, my martial soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear, and my soul power is level 35."

Ye Lingling seemed a little shy: "Hello, my name is Ye Lingling, I'm 14 years old, my martial soul is Nine Heart Begonia, my soul power is level 25, and I'm currently in Tianzhi Class B."

Yang Podi felt a little strange, but continued to speak: "Sister Lingling, hello, welcome to visit my dormitory. We are all soul masters, and we can communicate and learn from each other in the future."

Dugu Yan seemed to see Yang Podi's surprise and spoke directly: "Little guy, what do you know? Lingling's martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia, the number one healing martial soul on the continent. Although it is only level 25, Lingling's healing ability is stronger than that of ordinary soul masters."

"Sister Lingling, I'm really sorry. I thought too much. I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

Duguyan continued: "Yang Podi, which class are you in?"

"Sister Yan, I'm in Class A of the Tiandou Grade."

"Tian Dou Class A? I envy you so much that you can enter the Tian Dou class so quickly. You are already level 35 now. Do you have any plans to participate in the Soul Master Competition in two years?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to see me personally today. I don't plan to participate in this Soul Master Competition. I want to participate in the next Soul Master Competition. And now I am the captain and team leader of the second team of the next Soul Master Competition."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both surprised: "No way, how come the next Soul Master Competition is coming up so soon? And you are actually the captain and leader teacher?"

"This is what I proposed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three members of the Education Committee. It's mainly because I'm worried that I don't have enough combat experience, so I don't want to participate in this Soul Master Competition."

"The next time we compete in the Soul Master Competition, we will be more confident. Now, with me, we have five people."

"You're moving too fast. There are still seven years left, and you already have five players. Isn't that a bit too early?"

Yang Podi smiled and said, "It's getting late. Although 7 years seems like a long time, the strength of several students is still a little lacking. They need more training."

Dugu Yan seemed to have thought of something: "To defeat the enemy, either Lingling and I will join your team, so that there will be exactly 7 people. How about that? Welcome me to join!"

"Of course I welcome both of you to join us. If Sister Yan and Sister Lingling can join the team, it will be even better. Our team will be perfect."

Before Ye Lingling could speak, Dugu Yan had already made her decision: "It's settled then. From now on, Lingling and I will be members of the second team of the next Tiandou Royal Academy team."

Ye Lingling on the side was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to refuse or agree.

Dugu Yan comforted Ye Lingling: "Lingling, don't worry, Yang Podi is very good at coming up with some weird training methods. It's very good to train him. I'm already level 29 now."

Hearing Duguyan's words, Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart: Duguyan's talent is not bad, but in the original work, Duguyan is 7 years older than Tang San, and was only level 42 during the Soul Master Competition. How did this soul power level come about? The improvement speed is too slow!

I remember that at the beginning, in the Soul Fighting Arena in Soto City, when the Shrek team first fought against the Tiandou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan's soul power level was already level 38. However, in the Soul Master Competition, after a year and a half, nearly two years, her soul power was only level 42. This improvement speed was too slow. It took such a long time to improve by 4 levels. Yu Tianheng also improved by 4 levels. The average level of Shrek Academy improved by 10 levels. Xiao Wu, who had not eaten the fairy grass, improved by or levels, not to mention Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun, who had eaten the fairy grass but improved by more than levels.

However, Yang Podi finally smiled and said, "Then welcome the two beauties to join our Tiandou Royal Academy Second Team. With the addition of the two beauties, the strength of Tiandou Royal Academy Second Team will surely surprise everyone."

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will gather all the members together. The two beauties will also go to training ground No. 3. Training ground No. 3 has now been allocated to our team."

Yang Podi communicated with the two again before sending them away.

After seeing the two off, Yang Podi continued to meditate in the dormitory. The team’s affairs were all trivial matters, and his own practice was the most important.

Early the next morning, Yang Podi changed into the school uniform of Tiandou Royal Academy, looked at himself carefully in the mirror twice, and couldn't help nodding.

The school uniform of Tiandou Royal Academy is platinum in color, showing the symbol of nobility and royalty. It looks very high-end and elegant. Even the school uniforms of ordinary students are estimated to be very expensive.

After Yang Podi put on this school uniform, although he was still strong and muscular, the uniform covered all his muscles. With his thin face and black hair, he looked more aristocratic and much more handsome.

Today is the first class of the Tiandou class. Although Yang Podi himself doesn’t care much, he still decides to go to class first to see what the Tiandou Royal Academy can teach.

When Yang Podi finished his morning training and breakfast and came to the classroom, there were already quite a few people in the classroom.

The Tiandou class is the highest level class in the Tiandou Royal Academy. All students are required to have a soul power of 30 or above. Yang Podi looked around carefully and it seemed that everyone was over 20 years old. There were only a few under 20 years old, but they were at least or years old.

Most of these students were scattered around, some were chatting, some were reading or meditating alone. From the looks in all of them, one seemed to see some arrogance and arrogance, a bit like aristocrats.

Yang Podi ignored the people around him and found a secluded place to sit down alone. To Yang Podi himself, these classmates were meaningless to him. They were all imperial nobles, while he was from a soul master family, and they would rarely have any interactions in the future.

However, many people looked at Yang Podi more or less. Although Yang Podi looked tall, reaching 1 meters, his face was still relatively childish and he did not look like a 7-year-old.

And the news that came out yesterday was that the academy enrolled a 12-year-old level 35 Soul Master, who will probably be arranged in a Tiandou-level class. It is possible that he is the boy with a childish face mentioned above.

As time passed, the entire classroom gradually filled up. According to Yang Podi's estimation, there were about 25 people in the entire class.

There are 500 students in the entire Tiandou Royal Academy, and Tiandou-level students account for about one-tenth, which is two classes.
