Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

However, he finally carefully supervised everyone's weighted obstacle run, which was much more troublesome than simple weighted running, and sometimes there would be various dangers.

Chapter 71 Weighted Obstacle Run

Facing the new training ground No. 3, Yang Podi started running with the weight on his back.

The first thing that caught my eye was the 100-meter fast run. Although it was a straight track, it was completed at the fastest speed.

Next is a deep pit with a diameter of more than two meters. You need to jump into the pit and then climb out quickly, which is a test of your arm strength.

Then there's the sewer crawling, which consists of just a few tubular objects, each less than one meter in diameter and 20 meters long. You need to use your body's strength to crawl through them quickly.

Next is the single-plank bridge. Climb up a small staircase about one meter long, and there is a 30-meter-long single-plank bridge on top. On the bridge is a long log with a diameter of 20 centimeters. I don't know what kind of wood it is. This requires very good balance, otherwise it is easy to fall down, and if you fall down, you have to start all over again.

Next is the five-step pile, which has five irregular piles in a row, each more than one meter apart, and you need to run past them continuously.

Then there is a square pool of more than 30 meters, which needs to be swum quickly. Especially when carrying weight, it is very difficult to swim, which tests physical endurance and balance.

Next is the low stake net in the mud pond, which needs to be crawled over quickly, using the entire body to crawl quickly in the mud.

The next project is the high-altitude swing, which requires climbing a spider web rope over 30 meters high. During the entire climbing process, the rope is shaking, and it is difficult to use leverage, which tests the participants' control over strength.

……

In short, after running a lap, Yang Podi felt a little tired. He was afraid that it was much more difficult than running with weights. No wonder an old soldier in the army in his previous life said: I would rather run five kilometers than 400 meters.

Simply running is indeed more painful than running 3000 meters. If the 5000-meter and -meter runs torture a person's lungs and muscles, then obstacle running hones the entire body and soul. It is quite difficult to complete all the subjects, and it greatly tests a person's willpower.

The other six people were in even greater pain, especially the two girls, who could easily get hurt if they weren't careful.

After everyone had run and stopped many times, it was finally evening, but the distance each person had run was less than 10 kilometers. Even Yang Podi, who ran more, could not reach 50 kilometers.

At this time, everyone had bruised faces and noses, sore muscles all over their bodies, and sweat on their faces. They almost collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Teacher Li Xiang quickly arranged the five people to take medicinal baths next to the training ground. Of course, the medicinal baths were separate for men and women, after all, there are still differences between them.

During the medicinal bath, except for Yang Po Di, the other six people fell asleep directly in the bathtub, which shows that the consumption was huge.

When everyone finished the medicinal bath, they ran to the cafeteria at an extremely fast speed, like a group of hungry wolves.

By the evening, except for Ye Lingling who was a little weak, everyone else had recovered a little.

The evening's plan remained the same as yesterday: continue the fight at the Soul Fighting Arena. Ye Lingling's current condition wasn't enough to recover quickly, so her main focus was on treating everyone on the scene to prevent any accidents.

Yang Podi also told everyone that subsequent training would mainly focus on this kind of weighted obstacle running. The weight for each person would be gradually increased, and the requirement for everyone was basically to run to exhaustion, which meant that everyone had to run to their limit.

Everyone looked bitter when they heard this. Yang Podi finally spoke, "Since weighted obstacle running requires a high level of physical strength, you will have one day off every seven days, and five days off every three months. You can move freely during the rest time, but you cannot stop meditating."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, even Teacher Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, with this intensity, even he would not be able to bear it.

This went on for three months, and everyone began to adapt to weighted obstacle running. After all, they were all soul masters, and their physical recovery and adaptability were far stronger than ordinary people.

After three months of continuous training, everyone's soul power has increased by one level. Niu Meng has increased to level 23, Bai Xiaofei and Tailong are now level 22, Ye Lingling is level 26, Dugu Yan finally broke through to level 30, Yang Pingan broke through to level 28, and Yang Podi himself broke through to level 36.

In particular, everyone's physical fitness has improved a lot, most notably the two girls, who are no longer as prone to fainting as they were at the beginning. It can be seen that everyone's willpower and physical fitness have improved a lot.

The muscles of the men are becoming more and more obvious. These muscles are not all the muscles developed through fitness training, but they are like the whole body. The figures of the two girls are also getting better, with a little more curves.

After three months of fighting spirit, Yang Podi has now obtained the Purple Gold Fighting Spirit Medal. In the Soul Master stage of fighting spirit, he has maintained a perfect record in both single and 2-on-2 fighting spirit matches. It seems that he is also the Soul Master who broke through to the Purple Gold Fighting Spirit Medal the fastest in the fighting spirit arena.

However, Yang Podi's next training plan needed to be changed preventively. After obtaining the Purple Gold Fighting Soul Medal, the Tiandou City Great Fighting Soul Arena could no longer hold competitions, because there were no Purple Gold Fighting Soul-level Soul Masters here, and even in the entire Douluo Continent, there were no Purple Gold Fighting Soul-level Soul Masters.

After three months of training, Yang Podi's experience in fighting enemies, on-the-spot reaction and adaptability have improved a lot, and even his physical strength and balance have been greatly enhanced.

According to Yang Podi's estimation and teacher Li Xiang's analysis, even among the Soul Sect level, it is difficult for anyone to be Yang Podi's opponent, especially since Yang Podi has not used soul skills in the Soul Fighting Arena until now. It is terrifying that he has achieved so many victories relying only on spear skills and spear aura.

During these three months, Yang Podi participated in nearly 300 soul fights, an average of more than three fights a day, and these 300 soul fights earned Yang Podi more than 500 million gold soul coins.

Yang Podi is now a star player in the fighting spirit arena. Every time he goes on stage, he is greeted with cheers from the entire audience, and it seems that there are also many fans. Many people directly call Yang Podi the strongest soul master.

Some people also tried to cause trouble for Yang Podi, but they were stopped. Although Teacher Li Xiang's soul power was not high and he was just a Soul King, he was a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy. No one dared to cause trouble for him for these few gold soul coins. You must know that the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy are all powerful Soul Douluos, and they are famous for protecting their own people. If those three old guys were provoked, it would be troublesome.

Dugu Yan, in particular, criticized the other party fiercely, leaving him speechless. When the other party heard that Dugu Yan was the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, he apologized quickly and ran away in shame, fearing that he could not avoid her.

Just as Yang Podi was about to leave with his purple-gold fighting spirit medal, the waiter next to him said, "Mr. Yang Podi, do you have a moment? If so, the person in charge of the Tiandou City Great Fighting Spirit Arena would like to invite you to the office for a chat. Of course, your safety will be absolutely guaranteed."

Chapter 72: Cross-Level Fighting Spirit

After hearing what the waiter said, Yang Podi felt a little surprised.

Now he is just a small Soul Master and has not yet thought about how to face these people. Teacher Li Xiang next to him shook his head when he saw Yang Podi, obviously he also did not agree.

The waiter saw this and said quickly: "Please wait a moment, our person in charge will come to see you in person soon."

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked very shrewd came: "Friends, my name is Jackson, I am the person in charge of the Tiandou City Great Fighting Spirit Arena, can you please go to my office to discuss a business?"

Yang Podi was a little surprised: "Business, we are just fighting spirits, how can we participate in any business?"

Jackson seemed to understand their concerns: "You can rest assured, we will never let you do anything illegal. Besides, considering your background, even our Great Fighting Spirit Arena doesn't want to offend you easily."

Yang Podi and Teacher Li Xiang looked at each other and nodded slightly: "Mr. Jackson, please lead the way."

Then, under Jackson's leadership, several people came to a luxurious reception room.

After everyone sat down, Jackson spoke directly: “Mr. Yang Podi, you have been fighting in the Tiandou City Metropolitan Arena for three consecutive months, participating in at least three fighting games every day, and the continuous fighting speed has exceeded 300 games without any defeat.”

"Judging from your clothes, you should be students from the Tiandou Royal Academy. You came to the Tiandou City Great Soul Fighting Arena just to hone yourself, but now I'm afraid there are no opponents, and I'm afraid the training will no longer be effective."

Yang Podi thought for a moment: “Yes, the last few fighting spirits have been a bit easy for me, and I may not be able to participate in fighting spirits anymore. I wonder what the business Mr. Jackson just mentioned is referring to?”

"In order to attract spectators, our Tiandou City Great Fighting Spirit Arena sometimes has some special matches, such as cross-level battles."

"Fighting across levels? What do you mean, Mr. Jergenson?"

Jackson thought for a while before speaking: "We want to invite Mr. Yang Podi to have a cross-level soul battle, that is, your opponent is a soul master at the Soul Sect level."

"After analyzing you in our Great Soul Fighting Arena, we found that you now have the strength of a Soul Sect Master. This Soul Fighting Arena will be held in the highest-level main Soul Fighting Arena."

"We also know that Mr. Yang Podi, you used the help of this gentleman beside you to place bets. In the past three months, you should have earned about 500 million gold soul coins. These are not a big deal. As long as you participate in this soul fight, you can place bets on your own in the future, and there is no limit on the amount. As long as you don't lose on purpose, it will be fine."

Yang Podi thought for a moment, and finally said: "What is your purpose in doing this?"

Jackson smiled and said, "As the manager of the fighting spirit arena, it is naturally for the business of the fighting spirit arena. The battle between the Soul Master and the Soul Sect is very attractive, and it can also attract a large number of people to come and place bets, which is also for making money."

"Besides, you are the star player of my fighting arena, so it is only right that I give you some preferential treatment."

Yang Podi closed his eyes and thought for a moment before finally speaking: "Okay, I believe you will need some time to prepare, and you can let me know the specific time."

Jackson was delighted when he heard this answer: "Mr. Yang Podi, you can rest assured. Our fighting arena will ensure that your information will not be leaked. We will also select a star player to fight with you. When the time comes, it will definitely set the whole city on fire. We will notify you of the specific time of the fighting and also provide you with your opponent's information."

After the two sides discussed the details of the fighting spirit, Yang Podi followed the others and left the fighting spirit arena.

In the carriage, Teacher Li Xiang said in a serious tone, "Defeat the enemy. You have to think carefully about this soul battle. If your opponent is a star-level player, he must be at least a level 48 or even 49 soul master. Soul masters of this level are almost as powerful as soul kings, and they have extremely rich combat experience."

"Teacher Li, I understand. I think this is the only way to hone myself better."

The people nearby were all shocked after hearing this. You know, the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Datian Dou City is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially those star players, who are all very powerful. And Yang Podi, with the soul power of the Soul Master level, actually dared to fight against high-level Soul Masters, and even fight against those with the strength of primary Soul Kings.

Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something: "Teacher Li, please arrange for someone to go to the Pozhi Clan to inform them about my fighting spirit."

Dugu Yan on the side also said: "Badi, don't worry, although I am already level 30, I will not go to hunt for spirit rings first. I will go after you complete this spirit fight. And I will ask my grandfather to watch it together, and I guarantee that no one will dare to cause trouble for you."

Ye Lingling at the side also said: "Captain, don't worry, no matter how serious your injury is, I promise to heal you and won't leave you with any hidden dangers."

Yang Podi was speechless after hearing this. Are you so sure that I will get hurt? Are you so sure that I will lose?

On the other hand, Yang Ping'an didn't say anything, as if he was full of confidence in his elder brother.

The next day, a piece of news spread throughout Tiandou City that a high-level soul fight would be held in the Grand Soul Fighting Arena in ten days. The two sides in the fight would be a level 36 Soul Master and a level 48 Soul Sect.

At the same time, the fighting spirit information of the two was also announced. The name of the level 36 Soul Master is White Horse Silver Spear, and his martial soul is Soul-Breaking Spear. His record is 106 wins and 0 losses in single-player battles, and 238 wins and 0 losses in double-player battles. He is the only Soul Master in the Tiandou City Continent Soul Field who has won the Purple Gold Fighting Spirit Medal.

The name of the level 48 Soul Master is Tian Xiang Wu Di, his martial soul is Diamond Mammoth, his record is 367 wins and 49 losses in single-player games, 167 wins and 26 losses in double-player games, he is a winner of the Gold Fighting Soul Medal, and also a star player in the Tian Dou City Grand Fighting Soul Arena.

When the two people's information was announced, there was an uproar. This was not a fighting spirit competition at all, it was simply a huge gamble, especially for the invincible player Tian Xiang. The Diamond Mammoth Martial Spirit was known as the strongest defensive beast spirit. How could he lose to a mere Soul Master?

In a short time, this fighting spirit attracted a lot of people's attention, and even more people planned to suppress Tian Xiang Wudi player and make a fortune.

Of course, the bets of both sides were quite different. After Tian Xiang Wu Di player bet on it, the odds were 1 to 1.6, while after Bai Ma Yin Qiang player bet on it, the odds were 1 to 5.3. Obviously, not many people were optimistic that Soul Master could defeat Soul Sect.

The Pozhi clan was also in an uproar at this time. Although they also knew that Yang Podi had been fighting in the Soul Fighting Arena recently, they didn't expect that he would play it so big. This time, he actually dared to challenge the Soul Master as a Soul Lord, and the opposing martial soul was a Diamond Mammoth.

Yang Wudi's face was a little gloomy: "Zhentian, you go to Tiandou Royal Academy tomorrow to see what the situation is like with Podi?"

Chapter 73 Reactions from all parties

Yang Po Di's fighting spirit attracted a lot of attention.

In the Crown Prince's Mansion, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe read the recent news about Yang Podi, especially the news that he had obtained the Purple Gold Fighting Spirit Medal. He couldn't help but snort coldly, "Didn't this guy say that he didn't have enough combat experience and didn't want to participate in this Soul Master Competition? How come he keeps winning every time he gets to the Soul Fighting Arena, and remains undefeated?"

"Snake Spear, you are the only Title Douluo in the world who can use a gun. What do you think of his combat ability?"

The Snake Spear Douluo below spoke up: "Young Master, according to your arrangement, I have watched Yang Podi fight twice. This kid's spear skills are very good, both his soul power and strength are very good. It is difficult to find an opponent among the Soul Venerables. Even the ordinary Soul Sect may not be his opponent."

"So what do you think of their chances of winning this time? His opponent is the Diamond Mammoth Martial Spirit."

Snake Spear Douluo thought for a moment before speaking: "Young Master, I think Tian Xiang Wu Di is slightly stronger, but I'm afraid it will also be a tough battle."

Xue Qinghe smiled faintly: "Since he is a genius, then we should go and take a look to see if they are both true geniuses."

All the major forces were also in an uproar, especially the leader of the Xiangjia Sect, Hu Yanzhen: "A mere Soul Master from the Poyi Clan actually dared to challenge the Soul Master of my Xiangjia Sect. He is quite courageous."

"Lie'er has been fighting in the Great Fighting Soul Arena of Tiandou City for many years. He is experienced in combat and can definitely win easily. Let the world see the defense of our Elephant Armor Sect's Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul."

At this time, Yang Podi, who was at Tiandou Royal Academy, was in a miserable situation because his parents came to Tiandou Royal Academy early in the morning.

Especially my mother was worried: "Break the enemy, how come you are so brave? You have only been in school for a few months, but you dare to participate in the soul fighting, and you are even a higher level soul fighting. Do you know the information of the opponent? Do you know how powerful the opponent is?"

"Mom, don't worry, I'm sure of it."

"How can you be so sure? Your opponent is level 48, with a Diamond Mammoth spirit, clearly from the Elephant Armor Sect. From what I know, that brat, Tianxia Wudi, is already in his 30s. He's been hanging around in the Tiandou City Soul Arena for years, relying on his strong defense to bully those of his level."

Yang Podi was speechless for a while: "Mom, isn't it just a diamond mammoth? How can it compare to your plate armored giant rhinoceros? Watch me use the Soul Breaker Spear to break his defense."

But his father Yang Zhentian didn't seem to be worried at all: "Po Di, why did you participate in this fighting spirit? According to your usual personality, you would not participate in such a high-profile fighting spirit competition."

Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Dad, I've been doing Soul Master-level fighting spirits continuously recently, and I really don't feel any pressure. It just so happened that the person in charge of the Grand Fighting Spirit Arena brought it up, so I thought I might as well give it a try and hone my own combat abilities."

"Okay, defeat the enemy. If you want to fight with your soul, just go ahead and fight with your soul. If there is anything else, we can talk about it after this battle."

Yang Podi felt strange: "Dad, aren't you worried that I will lose?"

"Break the enemy, I know something about your combat ability. It is not difficult to win with your strength. The only difference is how much strength you will show."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. If it really comes to the last resort, I won't force myself."

Yang Podi understood his father's words very well. If he used the Crocodile King Spear, he could defeat or even kill the opponent, but this trump card must never be revealed, especially when his strength was not strong enough.

Yang Podi suddenly thought of something: "Dad, since you have come to Tiandou Royal Academy, why don't you stay here for a few days? Anyway, I have a lot of dormitories, and you can teach me how to use the Fusion Ring."

Yang Zhentian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "You are quite greedy, wanting to learn the Fusion Ring at such a young age. The Fusion Ring of our Poyi clan is a little different from that of other clans. It can almost be said to be a desperate move, which requires extremely high physical fitness. I originally planned to teach you a few years later, but since you want to learn it, I will teach you now."

In the next few days, Yang Po Di practiced in the dormitory every day except for doing weighted obstacle running in the afternoon to exercise his body. His father also taught him the Fusion Ring of the Po Yi Clan.

Ring Fusion involves combining the power of all spirit rings into a single one, and then using that ring's soul skill. This can be described as exhausting all one's soul power, unleashing a fatal blow. The Ring Fusion of the Po Yi Clan is even more dangerous and powerful, as all of the Po Yi Clan's spirit masters essentially utilize offensive soul skills. Stacking the same type of spirit rings creates greater power and a more powerful attack.

After Yang Zhentian taught his son the basic principles of ring fusion, he repeatedly warned his son not to use it unless he was in desperate circumstances.

Yang Podi seemed to understand the strength requirements of the body for the fusion ring, especially for the weapon spirit master, the physical requirements would be higher, and he was afraid that he would not be able to use it in the short term.

As for the fact that Yang Zhentian and Niu Jinfeng were staying in Yang Podi's dormitory, Teacher Li Xiang had already reported it to the college, and no one interfered.

Ten days passed quickly. This time, all the students went to the fighting arena together. Everyone wanted to see how strong their captain was, and at the same time expressed their support for the captain.

When everyone arrived at the fighting arena, the entire arena was extremely lively, especially the odds and the introduction of the two people. Countless people decisively bet on Tian Xiang Wudi, as if no one wanted to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.

Yang Podi himself also came to the betting window and directly bet all the gold soul coins on himself to win, with the total reaching 560 million gold soul coins, which was basically all the money he earned in the past three months.

At this time, the entire main fighting arena was full, especially the guest seats, where many big shots were sitting.

Including Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect Huyan Zhen, Patriarch of the Breaking Clan Yang Wudi, Patriarch of the Control Clan Niu Gao and others, and even quite a few people from the Spirit Hall came.

Prince Xue Qinghe mainly wanted to see how talented Yang Podi was.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was not very interested at first, but when he heard that it was Yang Podi's fighting spirit, Jian Douluo became more interested, which led to the three of them coming to watch together.

Poison Douluo was called over by his granddaughter, and he now has a good relationship with the Poyi clan and also wants to give them a hand.

The rest of the people basically have some relationship with both sides of the fighting spirit.

As for Yang Podi's parents and teammates, they went directly through the team passage and watched the battle at the front.
