Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

"You want the second team to go through the preliminaries to train together? You actually thought of this a long time ago."

Ning Fengzhi, however, saw Yu Xiaogang's embarrassment and seemed to want to help him out: "Student Yang Podi, I heard about the conflicts within your four families with the surname Dan. We, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, are willing to help you mediate the conflicts."

Yang Podi looked at Ning Fengzhi, the old fox: "Thank you, Sect Master Ning! There is a saying that people with different ideals cannot work together. The four families with single attributes just have a good relationship. Each family has its own development and goals. There is no need to force them together. This will not be good for everyone."

"But you have been working together for so many years, so you can face enemies from all sides and develop better."

Yang Podi shook his head: "My Poyi clan is used to self-reliance and development. We don't want to rely on anyone, and we will never be dogs for anyone."

After saying that, Yang Po Di bowed to everyone and left. He didn't bother to pay attention to these monsters.

Yang Podi recently heard that Yu Xiaogang also made changes to Team One's training ground, basically copying the training methods of Team Two, and even increased the training intensity for all team members a lot, which seemed to be a comparison with Team Two.

Yang Podi was speechless. Although Yu Xiaogang had the title of a master, he was only at this level. He dared to copy without knowing anything. Wasn't he afraid of ruining all the students? It would be fun if he ruined Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong.

Five days later, the group set out in a carriage to train in the Sunset Forest.

In order to prepare for this experience, Yang Po Di made a lot of preparations, including secretly protecting Du Douluo and Yang Wu Jue, and also preparing all kinds of supplies.

There are many soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, and there are even many ten thousand year old soul beasts. They are very useful in training everyone to cooperate with each other, react to danger, and fight against high-level soul beasts.

Especially for Yang Tianyue, this little girl is only twelve years old and lacks both social experience and experience in fighting enemies.

Yang Podi even required that everyone, when encountering soul beasts younger than 30,000 years old, must fight together and not show fear or run away.

The days at night were even more difficult. At night, the Sunset Forest was full of hidden dangers, and such days were even more miserable for them.

In just over ten days, everyone had lost a lot of weight. The joy they had felt when they first entered the Sunset Forest had disappeared, replaced by everyone's alert eyes.

Especially when they first encountered the ten thousand year soul beast, Yang Podi would not intervene personally, but let the seven team members face it together.

When they first faced the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, the seven of them had no coordination at all, and the entire team was very disorganized, with no plan at all. Some girls were so scared that they turned around and ran away, completely unlike their previous high-spirited image.

After each battle, Yang Podi would analyze several people, including some long-term combat response plans and so on.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. The entire team seems to have changed completely. Originally everyone was full of childishness, but after half a year of training in the Sunset Forest, everyone has seen blood many times, everyone has fought with soul beasts, and everyone's combat ability has been greatly improved.

With the current strength of seven people working together, they can definitely fight against a 20,000-year-old soul beast. Even if they cannot kill it, they can at least drive it away.

Especially the younger sister Yang Tianyue, who is growing very fast. Although she is still only a Soul Master, her combat ability is no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Master.

After half a year of training in the Sunset Forest, everyone's cooperation was very tacit. Yang Podi even felt that with the strength of these seven people, they could probably at least get the top three places in the Soul Master Competition.

When the experience in the sunset forest ended, everyone's eyes were filled with ferocity, like a wild beast.

While Yang Podi's second team was training in the Sunset Forest, something seemed to be wrong with the first team?

All the members of the team had been training for a long time with excessive load, and after the training, they only had an ordinary medicinal bath. Although everyone seemed to have rapidly improved their soul power, the long-term excessive load training would also leave a lot of hidden injuries in the human body.

For beast soul masters, it may be relatively better, but for weapon soul masters or some auxiliary weapon soul masters, it is more troublesome.

The first person to feel something unusual was Ning Rongrong. Although Ning Rongrong was a girl, she was still strong-willed. After frequent overload training, she felt a little unwell and her physical condition seemed to have deteriorated a lot.

Especially after Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo personally helped him check his body and found that Ning Rongrong had many hidden injuries in his body. The two were surprised and quickly arranged for Ning Heng, who was in the same team, to come for a check-up. After a series of examinations, they found that Ning Heng seemed to have deteriorated in physical strength and had many hidden injuries on his body.

After hearing about this situation, Ning Fengzhi was shocked. After careful research, he found that the two people were caused by long-term overload training, and after training, all of them only took ordinary medicinal baths.

Ning Fengzhi cursed Yu Xiaogang countless times in his heart. He never expected that this so-called master was only at this level.

Bone Douluo was a little puzzled: "Feng Zhi, I see that Yu Xiaogang's training method is exactly the same as that of Team 2. It can even be said that it is borrowed from Team 2's training method. How come Team 2 has not had any problems for such a long time?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment before speaking: "Team Two must have some way to avoid hidden injuries caused by overload training. I guess it was Yang Podi who did it."

"Yang Podi was born in the Poyi clan. He is basically the best in the world in terms of refining medicine. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the medicinal baths that Yang Podi gives to other students in Team 2 every day. He doesn't use the medicinal bathing method of the Tiandou Royal Academy at all, but the medicinal bathing method of the Poyi clan."

Bone Douluo was instantly furious: "I'm going to find Yu Xiaogang and Yang Podi. They are the ones who harmed Rongrong."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Yu Xiaogang is the son of the old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. If we go and cause trouble, won't it destroy our cooperation with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

"As for that kid Yang Podi, what does this have to do with him from beginning to end? He designed this training plan for his team members, and Yu Xiaogang just learned it secretly, but unfortunately he didn't learn it in the right way."

"Feng Zhi, what should we do now? Rongrong is injured now?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment before speaking: "I will take Rongrong to Tiandou City to find Mr. Ye Renxin. Mr. Ye should be able to cure this hidden injury. In addition, I plan to let Rongrong join the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy. We can train together in the future. This will be better for Rongrong."

Bone Douluo seemed a little confused: "Feng Zhi, that Yu Xiaogang obviously doesn't have any real skills, and that Tang San is also unreliable, why do you still support them so much?"

Just as Bone Douluo said, for some large sects with a long history, the so-called theoretical knowledge released by Yu Xiaogang had already been sorted out within the sect and was of no use.

Although Tang San was doing business with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the price of each set of hidden weapons was extremely high. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the profit was very lucrative. However, even though the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had given Tang San a lot of support, they had never mentioned lowering the price. In addition, Tang San actually wanted to learn the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's distraction control through Ning Rongrong, but he had never offered to pay anything, and simply wanted to take it for free.

This in and out makes everyone feel unbalanced. On the one hand, I buy your things at a high price and even give you all kinds of support, but in the end you want to get my treasure for free.

Ning Fengzhi also sighed: "I know that these two masters and apprentices are unreliable, but Tang San is backed by the Haotian Sect, and Yu Xiaogang is backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Now we must stand on the same side to fight against the Spirit Hall. After all, our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is an auxiliary sect, and in many aspects we cannot compare with the other two major sects."

Chapter 132 Plum Blossom Stake

If Ning Rongrong still has the protection of her elders, then others are even more miserable.

The first to be hit was Oscar, who was originally just a food-type soul master, and after his hard training, he was more likely to suffer hidden injuries.

Ma Hongjun is at the other extreme. Ever since he joined Tiandou Royal Academy, he has needed to vent his evil spirit. Tiandou Royal Academy is full of temptations and beauties, and Ma Hongjun has fallen into it at a very fast speed. Now he is trapped in the land of beauty and cannot extricate himself.

The other two soul masters from the original team one were seriously injured, including a control-type soul master and an agility-type soul master of the Azure Ivy martial spirit, and Bai Xiaofei from the second team.

Although Bai Xiaofei's martial soul is also a beast martial soul, his martial soul, the Spine-tailed Swift, has extremely poor strength and attack power, and is considered to be a relatively different beast martial soul. In the past, Yang Podi spent a lot of medicine to improve his physique.

However, after a long period of training, Bai Xiaofei discovered the difference of the medicinal bath. After all, he had been in the second team for six years, and now he has only been in the first team for a few months, and his physical fitness has deteriorated a lot.

Bai Xiaofei quickly reported to Young Master Tang San and Yu Xiaogang: "Young Master, I feel that the medicinal bath for Team Two seems to be a little different from that for Team One. The effect of Team One's medicinal bath is obviously not as good as that of Team Two. I feel that my health has deteriorated a lot recently, and the recovery effect of the medicinal bath is not that good."

"There are several people in the team who have the same problem as me. If we continue to practice like this, I'm afraid there will be big problems."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were shocked when they heard this. They were just copying the training plan of Team 2, so how could there be any problem?

Tang San, also an expert in medicine, began to carefully examine his own body and discovered that he had also begun to suffer from hidden injuries. He quickly spoke to Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, I feel like there's something wrong with my body as well. I have a few hidden injuries as well."

The three of them hurried to the academy's teaching department, thinking that there was something wrong with the medicinal bath ingredients the academy gave them. However, after some inquiries, they found out that the medicinal ingredients for Team One and Team Two were distributed at the same time and there was no difference at all.

Tang San seemed to have thought of something and asked Bai Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, who prepared the medicinal bath and medicinal materials for your second team in the past? Did you ask about it?"

Bai Xiaofei shook his head: "Everything for Team 2 is decided by Big Brother and Teacher Li Xiang. We just need to execute. They have prepared all the medicinal materials for Team 2's medicinal bath."

Tang San sighed: "I almost understand. The medicinal materials for the medicinal baths of all the personnel in Team 2 were handled by Yang Podi himself. The Podi clan is a family of alchemists, so they can naturally control the dosage of the medicine to ensure that no one suffers internal injuries."

At this point, Tang San felt a pity. It was a pity that the Po Yi clan did not join the Tang Sect, otherwise the Tang Sect’s strength would have been greatly enhanced, and things like today would not have happened.

Yu Xiaogang looked confused: "Xiao San, what should we do now? Team One cannot stop training."

"Teacher, now we have no choice but to ask everyone to stop training and take care of their bodies. If we want to continue training, we'll probably have to find Yang Po Di."

Without waiting for Yu Xiaogang to speak, Bai Xiaofei started talking first: "I heard that Team Two has gone out for training, and we haven't seen them for several months."

Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with rage. "Why is Yang Podi taking the team out for training at this time? Is he doing this on purpose to make fun of us?"

After some discussion, several people found that there seemed to be no way to solve the problem, so they finally had to stop this overload training. The specific solution might have to wait until Yang Podi returns.

Tang San knew how to deal with it. He had some way to treat this kind of internal injury, but this method required the purchase of a large amount of medicinal materials, and the price of these medicinal materials was extremely high. There were more than ten people in the team, and the academy could not buy such high-value medicinal materials.

After half a year of training in the Sunset Forest, Yang Podi and his companions did not return to the Tiandou Royal Academy, but went directly back to the Pozhi Clan.

There are no outsiders in the team now. Instead of going back to Tiandou Royal Academy to face Yu Xiaogang and his group, it is better to go directly back to the Pozhi clan.

Besides, what follows is mainly some meditation, and there are also some personal training methods, which I don’t really want to let Yu Xiaogang and his group see.

After returning to the Pozhi Clan, Yang Podi asked people to create a plum blossom pile forest. It was actually very simple to do. They just took hundreds of trees about five meters long, each with a diameter of about ten centimeters, and all the trees were inserted into the ground.

Each plum blossom pile protrudes about four meters from the ground, and the distance between each plum blossom pile is about one meter.

There are hundreds of them, mainly due to the large number of people.

Yang Podi led everyone to the front of the plum blossom pile forest and said to all the team members, "The next training will be relatively simple. You will spend all daytime on the plum blossom piles, mainly fighting each other and running."

Yang Tianyue looked at the plum blossom tree forest and couldn't help but say, "Brother, this is too simple, and it doesn't seem to be of much help to our cultivation."

"Tianyue, do you think it's easy? Then go up and try it first, and don't fall off the plum blossom pile."

"Just try it. It's just going to the tree stump. How difficult can it be?"

After saying that, Yang Tianyue jumped directly onto the plum blossom pile, but after jumping up, she found that it was much more difficult than she had imagined.

The diameter of each plum blossom pile is only ten centimeters, which is only half the length of the sole of the foot. If you want to stand firmly, you can only stand on the tiptoes of one foot. Moreover, the distance between each plum blossom pile reaches one meter, which is more than the width of one step. In other words, if you stand on two plum blossom piles at the same time, it will be painful.

Yang Tianyue tried to exercise on the plum blossom pile, but after running a few steps, she accidentally stepped on empty air and fell directly off the stump.

After falling off the plum blossom pile, Yang Tianyue came to Yang Podi with an unconvinced look on his face: "Brother, what kind of weird thing did you design? What use is this thing?"

Yang Podi glanced at Yang Tianyue, then at the people around him: "After years of training, everyone has become very good in terms of strength and speed, but you haven't fully mastered your strength and speed, especially your accuracy, which is indeed far behind."

"This plum blossom pile forest can improve your stability, flexibility, and accuracy, increase the elasticity and strength of certain muscles and muscle groups, and enhance the function of your heart and respiratory systems. It's very good for you at this stage."

Upon hearing this, everyone jumped onto the plum blossom pile, wanting to try out what the plum blossom pile actually did.

But as expected, everyone fell off the plum blossom pile after staying there for a while.

In the following time, everyone trained in this forest of plum blossom piles. According to Yang Podi, in addition to standing on the plum blossom piles, everyone also needed to fight with each other's spirits, and the fighting time was not short and required several hours.

The most important feature of the plum blossom pile is that there can be no extra movements. If the movements are too big or too extra, it is easy to fall off the plum blossom pile. For everyone, this is a little torture.

Yesterday, when Yang Podi was practicing, someone suddenly came to inform him that a guest was coming to visit.

Yang Podi was puzzled. He had returned to his family, so why would someone come to visit him?

However, when he arrived at the reception room, in addition to his grandfather Yang Wudi, there were also Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Jian Douluo and Ning Rongrong.

The two sides just exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ning Fengzhi spoke bluntly: "Student Yang Podi, I heard that your team is not full of people now. I would like to arrange for Rongrong to join your team. I wonder if it is possible?"

Yang Podi quickly replied: "I'm really sorry, Sect Master Ning, our team is now fully staffed, and all the physical training of the team members has been completed. Now everyone is just meditating in the Poyi Clan, and there is no other training plan."

"But I heard that your team only has six people, how come it's complete?"

"Master Ning, our team has recently recruited two more outstanding players. Now there are eight people in the entire team. We have enough personnel."

"But doesn't every team normally have seven main players and four substitutes? Doesn't your team need substitutes?"

Yang Podi shook his head: "Master Ning, my plan is for the preliminaries. I will not play, and the other seven must participate in every game. This will help them practice their coordination and gain experience in the competition. Even if Miss Rongrong joins, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to play."

Before Ning Fengzhi could continue speaking, someone came up to announce, "Chief, Chief Tai Tan, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Tang San are here to visit us. They are now at the gate of the clan."

Yang Wudi didn't want to pay attention, but Ning Fengzhi spoke up: "Patriarch Yang, if you have anything to do, you can go ahead and I can visit your clan land."

Yang Wudi thought about it and said, "Master Ning, there is nothing to hide. You two are familiar with each other, so why not meet together?"

After saying this, Yang Wudi said to the messenger, "Please ask the four of them to come to the hall."

When Yu Xiaogang and his three companions arrived at the hall, they were also surprised to see Ning Fengzhi and his three companions.

This was the first time Titan came to the Pozhi Clan after the last split, but now they were not as close as before, and they could not even be considered friends.

Yang Wudi was not polite either: "Chief Titan, may I ask what brings the four of you to our Yuanpo tribe?"

Tai Tan said with a gloomy face: "I came here only to ensure the safety of the young master. Now the young master wants to find you. I don't have anything to do."

Everyone immediately looked at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. Yu Xiaogang seemed to hesitate for a while before speaking: "Student Yang Podi, can I ask you a question?"

Yang Podi looked at Yu Xiaogang with a smile on his face: "Teacher Yu Xiaogang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all familiar people here."

Yu Xiaogang said seriously, "Let me ask you, is the medicinal bath you used for Team 2 different from the one provided by the academy?"

"Indeed, I used some of my family's precious medicinal herbs when I gave the team members a medicinal bath."

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if other people followed your training methods?"

Yang Podi smiled and said, "Teacher Yu Xiaogang, I remember that my training method is closed. No one should use my training method! If someone secretly learns it, it shouldn't be my fault if something goes wrong."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned red. "How can you say that? Since you created this training method, shouldn't you be responsible for all those who use it?"

Yang Podi was speechless for a while: "I have never heard of such a saying. Your apprentice Tang San is also proficient in pharmacology. He should also be able to make a method to nourish the body. Ask your apprentice how many gold soul coins are needed for this level of medicinal materials, and how much does it cost?"

"Just because of what you said, do you want me to spend money to help you train students?"

Tai Tan seemed a little angry: "Young man Yang, watch your attitude when talking to the young master."

Yang Podi looked at Tai Tan and said, "Senior Tai Tan, I've spent so much time and energy cultivating Tai Long over the past few years. Otherwise, do you think Tai Long's talent could have been raised to the Soul Sect level so quickly? And now you're following Yu Xiaogang and saying these things to me? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Even though Titan was thick-skinned, his face turned slightly red and he couldn't say anything.

Yang Podi ignored Titan and continued to talk to Yu Xiaogang: "I heard that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has a secret technique of dragon transformation, which requires corresponding medicine to practice. However, if outsiders secretly learn the secret technique of dragon transformation, they will all be killed. I wonder if this is true?"

After hearing this, everyone at the scene fell silent.

Chapter 133: Prepare to Take Action

After hearing these words, everyone at the scene fell silent. Most of those present were from large sects. If an outsider dared to steal the secrets of their sect, they would probably be ruthlessly killed.
