Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

The wall of Wuhun City is eighty meters high and more than thirty meters thick. Especially its location does not seem to be built directly on flat ground. Instead, it looks like a mountain was flattened and built on the mountain. In terms of the degree of danger alone, it is probably far more dangerous than Tiandou City.

Moreover, unlike other major cities, ordinary cities use soldiers as patrol teams, but Wuhun City actually uses soul masters for patrols, and they all wear the same uniform and look extremely strong. According to Yang Podi's own estimation, the patrolling soldiers are mainly soul lords, with some soul kings or soul emperors, and even the occasional soul saint.

When Yang Podi saw the tall city, the solid defense, and the powerful patrol team, he couldn't help but admire: The Spirit Hall is worthy of being the holy land of soul masters, and it is worthy of being the most powerful soul master organization in the entire continent. Its strength is indeed far beyond imagination.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the hexagonal Spirit City was built around a hill. Atop this hill stood two striking buildings. The one halfway up the hill was the most imposing. Even from this distance, its pillared structure and dome could be clearly seen. Its facade was clad in a golden material, shimmering in the sunlight. This must be the Pope's Palace, and of course, the so-called Elders' Hall. These two halls controlled the entire Spirit Hall's development.

In order to become an elder of the Spirit Hall, with very few exceptions, one must basically reach the Titled Douluo level.

The other building was on the top of the hill. It was much smaller than the Pope's Palace, only about one-third the size. The building structure was somewhat similar, but the facade was as white as jade. It was far less eye-catching than the Pope's Palace. According to Yang Podi's guess, that should be the so-called Douluo Palace, and even the entire Angel Temple, which was also the highest symbol of the entire Wuhun Palace.

After the group entered Wuhun City, it didn't seem as lively as Tiandou City, but the shops and people there were very impressive. The main items sold in the shops were soul master supplies, including various types of soul guides, soul beast corpses, and even some valuable parts of soul beasts, including rhino horns, soul beast skins, etc. They had everything.

The people walking in Wuhun City are basically soul masters, and ordinary people are rarely seen.

Since entering Spirit City, his entire body, spirit, and even soul seem to have undergone a subtle transformation. He seems to have developed a reverence for the gods, a newfound devotion. This is likely due to the Angel God's divine power enveloping Spirit City. The Angel God's divine power seems completely different from that of Slaughter City. If Slaughter City is filled with blood and murder, the Angel God's divine power seems to possess a certain purifying power. Perhaps cultivating under the Angel God's divine power will clear the mind of a Spirit Master and make him more open-minded.

After entering Wuhun City, they were received by a cardinal. Under the leadership of the cardinal, the group of more than 200 people were arranged in a larger hotel.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao looked at each other, nodded slightly, and left together.

One of the purposes of the two coming to Wuhun City this time was to receive the title of Titled Douluo.

The two first came to the Pope's Palace and seemed to have communicated with Pope Bibi Dong. Then, under the leadership of Bibi Dong, they went to the Douluo Palace together to receive the canonization in the Douluo Palace.

When the two returned to the hotel, they took Yang Podi, Niu Mang and Dugu Bo directly into the room.

Yang Podi looked at the expressions of the two men and felt that something seemed to be wrong with them. They were much more serious than when they first arrived.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao both smiled bitterly, then each took out a golden book of enthronement and a papal decree from their pockets.

The Golden Book contains the specific information of two people, including their martial spirits and spirit powers, but what on earth is this Pope's Order? Normally, the Pope's Order would not be issued for the canonization of a Titled Douluo.

According to what was written in the golden book, Grandpa Yang Wudi was given the title of Soul-Breaking Douluo, and Grandpa Niu Gao was given the title of Plate Armor Douluo. One represents a powerful attack, and the other represents a defense like plate armor.

Yang Wudi was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Normally, the Pope's Order would not be issued, but Old Rhino and I no longer belong to the top three sects. We both have our own forces and families. The Pope specially asked someone to create these two Pope's Orders, which can be regarded as a symbol of one side's power."

Yang Podi's face changed slightly when he heard this: "This Pope Bibi Dong is really scheming. He wants to use a mere Pope's Order to put us in the same predicament as the three upper sects. This can be considered as a provocation."

"Grandpa, Grandpa, why don't you two refuse?"

Yang Wudi shook his head: "Although this thing is hot, we have to accept it. In fact, this is also Bibi Dong testing our attitude. If we don't accept it, I'm afraid she will think that we still have various connections with the upper three sects. Taking this Pope's Order can also be regarded as a way to cut ties with the Haotian Sect."

Yang Podi thought about it carefully before speaking: "Grandpa, grandpa, this is not a big deal. We have our own plans anyway. As long as it does not conflict with our own plans, it will be fine. Anyway, no one takes the Pope's order seriously now."

Grandfather Niu Gao also nodded: "Old Goat and I think so too. No matter if he is trying to stir up trouble or not, we will stay away from him and will not interfere in the mess of Haotian Sect and Wuhun Hall anymore."

After everyone arrived at Wuhun City, there was three days of rest, and the finals were about to be held.

Teacher Li Xiang also explained the rules of the finals to everyone in detail, including some specific matters of the finals.

The rules of the finals are simple. The first stage is all elimination matches, with the winners advancing and the losers eliminated. The competition process is very intense, with only one day of rest between each round.

There are a total of thirty-three teams, including the two empires and the Spirit Hall. Among them, there are fifteen teams from the Star Luo Empire, sixteen teams from the Tiandou Empire, plus the teams recommended by the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall.

The two guaranteed teams plus the first place in the Tiandou regional promotion tournament, three teams will have byes in the first round. The remaining thirty teams will draw lots for one-on-one matches, and half will be eliminated directly, leaving a total of eighteen teams to enter the next round.

In the second round, the second place in the Tiandou regional qualifying tournament and the first place in the Xingluo Empire qualifying tournament will have a bye, and the remaining teams will continue to draw one-on-one.

As a result, a total of ten teams entered the third round.

The teams that had a bye in the third round were the second place in the promotion match of the Xingluo Empire and the third place in the promotion match of the Tiandou Empire. A total of six teams entered the fourth round.

If a team is eliminated early, all teams with byes will be postponed.

In the fourth round, teams that did not have a bye will compete directly in a one-on-one match to determine the final top three.

After four rounds of eliminations, three teams entered the fifth round.

After the fourth round, there will be a three-day break. In the fifth and final round, only three teams will enter the competition. The three teams will first use the promotion match to eliminate seven players each to determine the team with the strongest individual strength. Then the two losing teams will have a team battle, and the winner will challenge the winner of the previous individual competition to determine the final champion.

As the first place in the Tiandou Empire promotion tournament, Tiandou Team 2 had a bye in the first round and could only officially play in the second round.

Yang Podi looked at everyone in the team, seeming more serious than usual. "You should all know that Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao have just been canonized as Titled Douluo. From now on, at least on the surface, our family will be considered a major force. I want to win the championship in the finals and congratulate them."

"So starting from the first game of the finals, I will play, but you can't take it lightly. This finals can only be won and not lost."

"Everyone should probably know that the reward for the finals champion is three soul bones. Let me say one last thing. For the sake of the family, I want the soul bones, but I want the championship even more. And I am determined to win it."

After hearing this, everyone became much more serious. This Soul Master Competition was no longer just about individuals, but more about the two major families.

In fact, Yang Podi did not say it, but ever since they came into contact with the two Pope's orders, the attitudes of the Po clan and the Yu clan towards the Spirit Hall have become very clear, and even their attitudes towards the three upper sects have become very clear. From now on, the two major families are independent forces, and will no longer be dependent on any sect, nor will they become affiliated forces of any sect.

As a large sect, winning the Soul Master Competition is a way of announcing to the world and a display of future strength.

And now that things have come to this, instead of continuing to retreat and endure, it is better to move forward.

There was nothing particularly outstanding in the first round of the finals. Among the thirty teams, except for the Tiandou team, no other team had more than four Soul Masters, and there were basically no Soul Masters with a Soul Power of level 45.

The Tiandou region also demonstrated its strength, with all four teams advancing to the next round, making the official staff of the Tiandou Empire, led by Xue Qinghe, all smiles.

The only thing that was a bit surprising was that the Kamikaze Academy and the Blazing Academy actually formed the so-called New Kamikaze Force, just like in the original work.

But in Yang Podi's eyes, this is the so-called new Kamikaze Team, which is not good enough at all. The two teams together have only four Soul Masters, and Feng Xiaotian, who has the highest soul power, is only level 44.

In the original novel, they were dissatisfied with Tang San's Shrek Academy and felt that the two teams would have a chance of winning if they combined. However, with the current strength of Tiandou Team One and Tiandou Team Two, even if the two teams combined, they probably would not have much chance of winning. So what was the point in combining?

In the second round of the competition, Tiandou Team 2 was officially ready to take the field. To everyone's surprise, the opponent Tiandou Team 2 drew was actually this new Kamikaze team, which surprised everyone.

Under normal circumstances, it would be rare for strong teams to meet so early in the draw. However, this newly formed Kamikaze Team met the Tendou II Team, which was considered to be the favorite.

Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer: It seems that the Spirit Hall also wants to test my strength, otherwise they would not allow the Divine Wind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy to regroup. I just don't know if they have any other countermeasures after I have demonstrated my strength.

Chapter 152: Victory over the New Kamikaze

The Spirit Hall specially opened up a special venue for the finals of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.

This site is located in the center of Wuhun City. The huge arena is also a hundred meters in diameter and is completely repaired from granite.

The ground of this huge arena was made of precious metals, and it was even reinforced with a large number of soul guides to prevent damage. According to the information provided by the Spirit Hall, this venue was strong enough to withstand any attack from soul masters below the level of Soul Emperor without being damaged.

Looking straight ahead from this competition arena is the Pope's Palace. The arena is less than a kilometer away from the magnificent palace where the Pope's Palace is located.

Even the Spirit Hall has posted a notice announcing that the top three in the finals will compete in front of the Pope's Palace.

Today is finally the second round of the competition, and it is also the first time that Tiandou Team 2 takes the field.

Almost all the teams came to watch this game. In everyone's eyes, Tiandou Team 2, which has at least two Soul Kings, is a huge threat to their promotion match.

The two teams in this competition are the Tendou Team 2 versus the New Kamikaze Team.

The new Kamikaze Team is also very powerful because of its combination with the original Blazing Academy. When facing an opponent yesterday, they defeated it easily without any bloodshed.

Under the referee's instructions, all the players from both teams went on the stage. The lineup of the new Kamikaze Team was the same as the previous game. The three leaders were Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang. All three of them performed very well in both the preliminaries and the promotion matches, and they can be called star students.

The strength of Tiandou Team 2 is even more exaggerated. Yang Pingan is the best student in Tiandou area, and Dugu Yan has broken through to the Soul King realm in the promotion match. Tiandou Team 2 almost crushed Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy in both the preliminaries and promotion matches. The two teams probably wanted to get revenge and joined together.

The lineup of Tiandou Team 2 this time is Yang Podi, Yang Pingan, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Niu Meng, Yang Tianyue, and Niu Kui.

Among them, Yang Podi is level 67, Yang Pingan is level 52, Duguyan is level 51, Ye Lingling is level 49, Niu Meng is level 45, Yang Tianyue is level 41, and Niu Kui is level 38. In terms of the average soul power level of the personnel, it has already exceeded the Soul Master Academy of the Spirit Hall that appeared today.

After the seven players took the stage, the referee gave the order, and all players on both sides began to display their martial spirits and spirit rings. It seemed that everyone's attention was on Yang Podi. Everyone was full of curiosity about this student who had never played before. As the captain of Tiandou Team 2, no one doubted his strength. However, they did not know Yang Podi's specific spirit power level.

Yang Po Di looked coldly at the new Kamikaze Team opposite him, summoned his own martial spirit, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and at the same time displayed his soul rings one by one - yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black.

When Yang Podi displayed all his soul rings, everyone at the scene was stunned: the fourth ring of ten thousand years, three black soul rings, Soul Emperor, these were things that had never appeared in the Soul Master Competition.

Even the referee and the opposing New Kamikaze Team were stunned. The referee seemed to have forgotten to count the time, while the opposing New Kamikaze Team forgot to prepare.

Yang Podi said to the people on the other side: "I am Yang Podi of the Poyi Clan, a level 67 Strong Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. Please give me some advice!"

Although Yang Po Di's voice was not loud, it was full of firmness and decisiveness. It spread throughout the arena and reached the ears of everyone in the audience.

When the referee heard this, he quickly said that the game should continue and signaled the members of the new Kamikaze Team to get ready.

After hearing the referee's signal, all the members of the new Kamikaze team recovered from their shock and quickly summoned their martial spirits and spirit rings.

Unexpectedly, in the Tiandou Team 2, the formation seemed very random, with only Yang Podi at the front and all the others at the back. Although they had also summoned their martial spirits and spirit rings, they did not look prepared for battle at all.

With the referee's command, the game officially began.

Yang Podi held the Soul-Breaking Spear in both hands and rushed directly towards the New Kamikaze Team. Suddenly, Yang Podi flashed and disappeared. Then, Yang Podi appeared in front of Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the New Kamikaze Team. Yang Podi held the gun in both hands and stabbed Feng Xiaotian directly.

This is the first of Yang's nine methods of defeating enemies and destroying souls: instant attack.

Yang Podi's move seemed to scare everyone. Feng Xiaotian was worthy of being the captain of the new Kamikaze Team. Seeing that he could not dodge, he quickly attached his soul power to his hands. His hands were like the claws of two wind wolves, trying to desperately resist this move.

But Yang Podi's move was powerful and heavy, and at this time Yang Podi's Soul-Breaking Spear weighed a full four thousand pounds. How could it be easily resisted?

Yang Podi's spear was as powerful as a dragon, piercing through the soul power on Feng Xiaotian's hands, the martial soul phantom, and his hands. When Feng Xiaotian reacted again, the tip of the Soul-Breaking Spear was already against Feng Xiaotian's throat. At this moment, Feng Xiaotian seemed to be only a moment away from death. Feng Xiaotian's desperate resistance was like paper.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi turned the gun and bypassed Feng Xiaotian's neck, then swung the Soul-Breaking Gun and hit Feng Xiaotian directly. A huge force was transmitted from the gunshot to Feng Xiaotian, knocking Feng Xiaotian out of the ring.

In just a moment, the captain of the new Kamikaze team was knocked out of the ring, which seemed to stun the other six people on the field.

Yang Podi turned around, held the gun with both hands, and stabbed at Huo Wu next to him again. This shot was as fast as lightning and almost did not require any charge.

Huo Wu quickly used her third soul skill: Resist Fire Ring. A huge fire ring blocked Yang Po Di's Soul-Breaking Spear. Huo Wushuang on the side directly activated his fourth soul skill: Fiery Impact, as if trying to rescue Huo Wu.

But Yang Podi was totally unmoved, instead he increased his own strength. Although the Resistance Fire Ring emitted a burst of resistance, the two forces collided with each other and directly pierced the Resistance Fire Ring along with Huo Wu. Huo Wu seemed to have been affected by a great force as well, and fell directly on the ring.

And Huo Wushuang on the side seemed to have used his fourth soul skill as well. A huge one-horned fire dragon rushed towards Yang Podi desperately.

Seeing this, Yang Podi was not in a hurry. He held the gun with both hands and chopped the gun blade directly at the one-horned fire Tyrannosaurus. The one-horned fire Tyrannosaurus collided with the huge gun blade. To everyone's surprise, the huge one-horned fire Tyrannosaurus was directly split in half, and the gun blade seemed to be even more unstoppable, even splitting Huo Wushuang's martial soul and soul power. By the time everyone reacted, the gun blade of the Soul-Breaking Gun was like a big sword, directly against Huo Wushuang's neck.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul-Breaking Spear turned, and then Yang Podi pressed down with both hands, and a huge force pressed down on Huo Wushuang, knocking Huo Wushuang directly to the ground. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

In just three moves, Yang Podi had defeated the three main forces of the New Kamikaze Team.

The remaining four people were instantly horrified, as if they had seen something terrifying. Among them, a member of the original God Wind Team quickly launched a powerful wind-attributed attack spirit skill, seemingly wanting to attack Yang Po Di from behind.

Yang Podi took a step forward with his right foot, turned his body 90 degrees to the left, and at the same time, held the gun with both hands and moved it from back to front. This was the move: looking back at the moon.

The tip of the Soul-Breaking Spear collided with the opponent's soul skill, directly defeating the opponent's soul skill attack, and then continued to move forward. This shot directly pierced the shoulder of this team member, and then the gun head turned and swung hard, and this team member flew directly out of the ring.

This was because Yang Podi restrained his strength and controlled his position, otherwise he could have stabbed him directly in the vitals or even pierced his body.

Before the other three people could react, Yang Podi once again grasped the gun and stabbed the other people.

The remaining three were all at the Soul Master level. No matter in terms of strength or soul power, there was a huge gap between them. After only three moves, all three of them fell down.

This fight lasted only two minutes from beginning to end, and Yang Podi had injured all seven opposing players, two of whom were thrown out of the ring, and five of them fell on the ring in pain.

Yang Podi retracted his martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and looked at the referee next to him who seemed to be stunned.

The referee finally came to his senses and spoke with a bitter and slightly stuttering voice: "In the second round of the finals, all members of the Kamikaze team were eliminated. Team Tendou II won."

Yang Podi no longer paid attention to the situation on the scene, but led all the team members back to the place where their team was watching the battle.

Even though the next game had already started, everyone seemed to be recalling the match that Tiandou Team 2 had just played, especially those from the big forces. It seemed that all of them had serious expressions and no one knew what they were thinking.

Everyone at the scene seemed to be discussing how Yang Podi had managed to acquire a fourth soul ring that lasted for ten thousand years. This was far beyond the number of years required to absorb a fourth soul ring.

More people were discussing how Yang Po Di, who was only nineteen years old, had already cultivated to the sixty-seventh level of Soul Emperor. His talent and cultivation speed were simply terrifying.

You should know that Qin Ming, the former mentor of Tiandou Team, broke through to the Soul Emperor at the age of 34, and was known as the second fastest soul master to break through to the Soul Emperor in history. Yang Podi is only 19 years old now, which is horrible.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Glass were also discussing it. Ning Fengzhi seemed to have a serious expression when he asked, "Uncle Jian, what do you think of Yang Podi now?"

Jian Douluo looked unusually solemn: "I find this Yang Po Di very strange. His spear skills are completely different from those of the Po Yi Clan. Even his Po Hun spear is different from that of ordinary Po Yi Clan members. His attack on Feng Xiaotian just now was very exaggerated in terms of strength, speed, and even sharpness. And when he attacked Huo Wushuang with his spear, I even felt a hint of sword intent."

"This person is so young, yet has a unique understanding of spearmanship. He is simply a rare genius. I'm afraid that within 20 years at most, the Po Yi clan will give birth to another Titled Douluo, or even sooner."

"This person has studied cultivation very thoroughly. He is simply a genius created by heaven. No wonder he can train the Tiandou Second Team so well. Feng Zhi, our Qibao Liuli Sect must also make plans early."

Ning Fengzhi simply shook his head. "The attitudes of the Po Yi and Yu Yi clans are unclear. They clearly don't want to fight against the Spirit Hall and have always wanted to distance themselves from us, the Upper Three Sects. Now they want to move away, simply because they don't want to be drawn into our disputes. Furthermore, given the current strength of the Po Yi and Yu Yi clans, they're probably no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

"Now I begin to understand the reason behind the Po Yi clan's attitude. I'm afraid they want to bide their time until Yang Po Di rises completely. By then, who among the younger generation will be able to rival him?"

Ning Fengzhi seemed a little confused: "Uncle Jian, how much of Yang Podi's strength did he show in the previous match?"

Jian Douluo shook his head: "Yang Podi only used his own soul skills throughout the match, and didn't even use a soul ring skill. He showed at most 50% of his strength, maybe even less. According to my estimation, he is at least Soul Saint level, maybe even stronger."

The two continued to talk for a while, and finally Ning Fengzhi seemed to have made up his mind: "Uncle Jian, I plan to let Rongrong go to the Poyi Clan to study. This will be better for Rongrong's growth, and it can also be regarded as a kind of attitude."

After hearing this, Jian Douluo just nodded slightly.

Xue Qinghe, who was standing aside, also had a dark complexion. He couldn't help cursing in his heart: Yang Podi, you liar, you were talking about hunting for the fifth soul ring in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. I always thought you were a Soul King, but I didn't expect you to hunt for the sixth soul ring, and you entered the Soul Emperor level at almost the same time as me.

Qian Renxue had always been very confident in her talent. She was originally a god-level martial soul, a six-winged angel, and had an extremely rare innate soul power of level 20 throughout history. However, she never expected that her soul power would be surpassed by Yang Podi, who was younger than her. Especially since Yang Podi, this brat, had actually touched her hand...

Everyone in the Spirit Hall was also very surprised, especially the Platinum Bishop who presided over the Spirit Master Competition, whose expression was extremely ugly.

The three top-grade soul bones originally prepared were carefully selected for the Golden Generation. Now that Tiandou Team 2 has a Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings, the Golden Generation is in danger.

However, a handsome man in golden armor in the Spirit Hall seemed shocked when he saw Yang Podi coming on the field.
