Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

Bibi Dong nodded with some satisfaction: "These two people are quite sensible. Well, we only need to send spies near Mount Almo, and let them handle the rest on their own."

All the major forces have collected a lot of secret books, and the contents of the secret books are indeed very attractive, but out of caution, the major families only arranged for a very small number of disciples to practice at the beginning, and they would decide on the specific methods after seeing the results.

Among all the major forces, the craziest one is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

When Ning Fengzhi saw these secret books, he could tell at a glance that they came from the Haotian Sect, or the Tang Sect.

Ning Fengzhi has always been very interested in Tang San's self-created soul skills and hidden weapon making, but due to Tang Hao and the Haotian Sect, he has never had the chance to take action.

How can you not be happy when you can get these good things just on the black market?

Ning Fengzhi immediately gathered some disciples to start practicing the contents of the secret book, wanting to confirm the effect of the secret book as soon as possible.

Especially for the drawings of making various hidden weapons, Ning Fengzhi was even more crazy. With these drawings, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect could make various hidden weapons by themselves, and no longer have to buy them from the Tang Sect at a high price. As a businessman, what could be happier than saving a lot of money?

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the largest and richest sect on the continent. It has various industries throughout the continent, including the blacksmith industry. After all, the initial development of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect relied on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower's martial spirit to find mineral veins.

Ning Fengzhi immediately gathered a large number of blacksmiths and started making various hidden weapons. Although there was no master blacksmith in the family, there were still many senior blacksmiths, and various hidden weapons could be made in a very short time.

After acquiring various secret techniques, Ning Fengzhi no longer had any interest in trading with Yang Podi's self-created soul skills. It would be better to spend more time learning the current secret techniques, especially the body movements and hand-training techniques, which were tailor-made for the soul masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

As for the two great empires, they also began to intensify their research on these secret manuals, investing a large amount of manpower and material resources in this endeavor, especially in the production of hidden weapons, which could obviously greatly enhance the empire's military strength.

Speaking of this secret book sale incident, the one who suffered the greatest loss was probably the Tang Sect. Ever since the secret book came into the world, its largest customer, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, has not had any orders. Even the Tiandou Empire, which originally intended to purchase it, has no news now.

The Strength Clan and the Agility Clan were once again in trouble, completely lacking the high spirits they had when the Tang Sect was first founded.

The most confused person is Tang Yuehua. Now all kinds of secret books have been leaked. There are rumors that these secret books come from Haotian Sect. But as Tang Xiao's sister, she has no idea where these secret books come from. Haotian Sect doesn't seem to have such secret books. They are a bit similar to the practice of her nephew Tang San. Unfortunately, there is no news about Tang Hao and Tang San recently, so there is no way to ask.

Tang San had been practicing in secret with Tang Hao, isolated from the outside world during the practice. He had no idea that the Tang Sect's skills, which he regarded as his life, had spread throughout the world. If he knew, I wonder what his expression would be.

Chapter 168 Tianxing Academy

At this time, everyone in the Po clan and the Yu clan seemed both excited and nervous.

After more than half a year of construction, the construction of Mount Almo has been completed, and even the city of Monet and the college at the foot of the mountain have been completed.

At the foot of Mount Almo, many medicinal fields have been created, which can be regarded as the future development and wealth of the Poyi clan.

Even Dugu Bo, with his son Dugu Xin and some clansmen, came to the Poyi clan, which was considered the third type of family on the mountain.

At the same time, due to Ye Lingling's arrival, Ye Renxin, after much consideration, also sent some of his clansmen to Mount Almo to make some preparations for the family. The most senior among them included a healing Soul Saint, who made up for the shortcomings of the three families.

As for the large and small sects around Mount Almo, basically most of them were incorporated and became the outer sects of the Pozhi clan. However, these sects were very small, with the largest having dozens of people and the smallest having only a few people. According to Yang Podi's plan, all of them would become outer disciples or go to the academy to be teachers.

At this time in the meeting room of the Poyi Clan, some core figures gathered together, and each of them had a serious expression on their faces.

Because the plan Yang Podi just proposed was too rare and too shocking.

According to Yang Podi, everyone can handle their own affairs independently within the family, but in the future, all matters facing the outside world must be handled in the name of the academy.

In other words, the core members of several major families will focus on the construction of the academy in the future.

According to Yang Podi's suggestion, the newly built academy was named Tianxing Academy and was divided into the inner and outer colleges. It could recruit all kinds of students. As long as anyone in the fiefdom had awakened their innate soul power, they would all be recruited to study at Tianxing Academy.

All ordinary students study in the outer courtyard, and some more reliable students can be selected. Whether they are loyal to the major families or have very good talents, these disciples can be recruited into the inner courtyard of Tianxing College.

Regardless of the outer or inner courtyard, all the soul masters from the former major families are sent to serve as teachers, but they are trained from a young age.

The disadvantage is that if things continue like this, everyone will only know about Tianxing College and no longer just a few major families.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent, wondering whether this plan was feasible and the future development of the family.

Yang Wudi said solemnly: "Po Di, have you thought it through? Do you know that if you do this, our Po Yi clan will probably disappear slowly in the future? Especially if you follow your approach, I'm afraid there will be all kinds of problems."

Yang Podi nodded: "I have thought this through carefully. If any family only has a single martial spirit, it will be difficult to continue."

"In the past thousand years, the most powerful ones are the Haotian Sect, the Qibao Liuli Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family. These three families rely on their powerful martial spirits and their own advantages to basically bring their families to the extreme."

“Especially the Haotian Sect. Everyone in the world knows that the Haotian Sect’s inheritance is the Haotian Hammer martial spirit. But even though the Haotian Sect is so powerful and Tang Chen was so powerful back then, it is still inevitable that it will decline. If a large-scale spirit master war really occurs, there is even a possibility of destruction.”

"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has done relatively well. With an auxiliary martial spirit, it has been able to develop to this point today. But who can guarantee that after a hundred years, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will not be destroyed by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo? You know, if there were no Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be the biggest piece of fat in everyone's eyes."

"After we establish the academy, we can absorb all kinds of powerful students and martial spirits. Even if ten thousand years later, our Poyi clan is no longer the leader of Tianxing Academy, it can still be passed down."

"There is another problem. The elders of our three families have a very good relationship now. Whether it is the Poyi Clan, the Yuyi Clan or the Bilin Clan, they all seem to be doing very well now. But when it comes to making specific decisions, how should we deal with it? If there is a conflict between the two families, how should we deal with it?"

"Now that we all have Titled Douluo, it can be said that our three families are at their most powerful in history. If one day our family does not have a Titled Douluo, won't we immediately fall into trouble?"

"If the academy exists, it will be a hub connecting the major families. We can deal with problems together. As long as everyone has a Titled Douluo, we can ensure the continuation of the three families."

“Perhaps we will introduce new families in the future, but this will also make the academy stronger, especially in the face of the huge changes that may happen next.”

"Moreover, in terms of long history, the several existing elemental academies are not weaker than the top three sects. Even if they don't have a Titled Douluo, or even a Soul Douluo, they can still stand for thousands of years."

Yang Wudi was still a little conflicted: "The Po Yi Clan has been passed down for hundreds of years. I am afraid that I will become a sinner of the Po Yi Clan in the future."

Yang Podi shook his head: "Grandpa, no matter how it develops, the Poyi clan will develop better in the future, and our several major families will also develop better in the future. Don't forget the Xuantian Baolu and Xuantian Gong that I got."

"Regarding the dissemination of Xuan Tian Gong, only the core disciples of the family will be able to practice it in the future. Moreover, after the few of us present here have memorized the original copy of Xuan Tian Gong, we will destroy it. Only the core disciples of the family can pass it on orally. As for ordinary disciples, I will make a simplified version that will be easier to practice than the castrated version circulated outside, and will also be more effective. This will also be our greatest advantage."

After hearing this, the scene fell into silence again. Everyone was wondering whether this plan was feasible and whether it would benefit their family.

Yang Wudi thought for a moment, then spoke to Niu Gao and Dugu Bo beside him: "Old Rhino, Old Poison, what do you two think?"

Grandpa Niu Gao thought about it, and finally couldn't help but sighed: "Old goat, I've always been entangled. Over the years, your Po Yi clan has developed too well, or too strong. Now in your Po Yi clan, even if you don't count Jin Feng, there are already three Titled Douluo, especially the three children Po Di, Ping An and Tian Yue, they all have the qualifications of Titled Douluo."

"If we weren't so close, and if you hadn't helped us so much, and if the real owner of Mount Almo wasn't my grandson, I really wouldn't dare to come to Mount Almo. I'm afraid that after many years, my Yu clan will become a vassal of your Po clan."

"Po Di's words today have really enlightened me. They've given our Yu clan hope, a hope for continued inheritance. Just as Po Di said, after the academy was established, the major clans will develop independently, but they must work together to face challenges. Even if our generations are gone in the future, at least the clan can continue."

"We have followed the Haotian Sect in battle for countless years. How many families have disappeared? How many martial spirits have disappeared? If the plate-armored giant rhinoceros of our Yu clan can last for ten thousand years, it will be the greatest achievement of our generation."

"You should also know that whether it is the Plate Armored Giant Rhino or the Soul-Breaking Spear, there is still a certain gap between them and the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. With our martial spirit inheritance, it is impossible for our family to last for ten thousand years."

"I agree with the idea of defeating the enemy and establishing an academy. From now on, all external affairs will be referred to as the academy, while internally, each family will be managed separately."

After Niu Gao finished speaking, several people looked at Dugu Bo together.

Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment. "Why are you two looking at me? We are a small family, so as long as the family lineage can continue, that's all that matters. You two are thinking about things thousands or even millions of years from now. I'm just thinking about having more descendants for the family, and not letting the lineage of the Green Phosphorus Snake die out."

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao were speechless when they heard what Dugu Bo said: This guy has changed too quickly. He just said that he didn't want to be bound by the rules of the academy, how come he said such things in the blink of an eye?

Yang Wudi continued: "Defeat the enemy, how should the academy be planned specifically?"

Yang Podi glanced at the people around him and said, "From now on, each of our four families will have a clan leader who will manage their own family affairs. Among the four clan leaders, one will serve as the dean of Tianxing College, and the other three will serve as vice-deans. If there are major decisions, they will all be decided by the four clan leaders, with two votes for the dean and one vote for the vice-dean. At least three votes are required to pass major decisions. And they are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of other families. Other Titled Douluo can serve as elders of the college and jointly maintain the college."

"The position of dean will be rotated. The specific number of years of rotation is something you need to consider yourselves."

"Also, I will establish a set of house rules that everyone must abide by. However, the foundation of our house rules is equality among the four races, low-key development, and avoiding trouble."

"The Po clan is mainly responsible for the medicine fields and medicine refining, creating profits for the academy. Every year, they need to set aside a certain percentage to maintain the academy. The Yu clan is responsible for patrolling and guarding, including the management of Monet City. The Bilin clan is responsible for maintaining the academy rules, including punishing those who violate the rules. The Jiuxin clan is responsible for logistics and medical care."

After hearing this, several people finally nodded.

As for what happens next, they are mainly about details and Yang Podi doesn't need to ask about them anymore.

After much thought, Yang Podi created a relatively complete set of hospital rules and sent them to several people, asking them to jointly confirm whether they could be implemented.

In the next few days, several major families seemed to be in an uproar. They were all shocked by the sudden news and it seemed difficult for them to accept it in the short term.

However, these people have extremely high prestige within the family and are also the strongest in the family. After some explanation, the family members accepted it.

The more troublesome one is the Nine-Hearted Begonia family. There are not many people coming here to begin with, and the highest one is only a level 72 healing Soul Saint. However, these matters are directly decided by Ye Lingling. After all, she is the direct descendant of the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul and the next patriarch of the Nine-Hearted Begonia family.

Yang Podi also took advantage of this time to pass the original version of Xuantian Gong to several people, including Yang Pingan, Yang Tianyue, Niu Meng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.

As for other disciples, Yang Podi created a simplified version of Xuantian Gong, which is slightly better than the castrated version outside. At least there will be no loopholes and omissions, and it will be easier to practice. However, it is still inferior in terms of personal improvement and cultivation speed, and it only has 5 levels. The last 4 levels require the consent of the clan leaders of each tribe before they can be taught.

As for the original version, it can only be passed on orally to the next patriarch.

Strict requirements were also made within each family, and no one was allowed to pass on the skills to outsiders, otherwise they would be dealt with according to family rules.

During the rest of the time, he worked hard to practice and improve his soul power.

Chapter 169: Practicing Xuantian Gong

Since coming to Mount Almo, Yang Podi has changed his meditation method to practicing Xuantian Gong. Although he needs to start from scratch, the effect is indeed very obvious after practicing Xuantian Gong.

Xuantian Gong is worthy of being the supreme martial art of Taoism. After practicing it, it can indeed make the soul power endless and powerful. Among soul masters of the same level, after practicing Xuantian Gong, the soul power will obviously increase a lot.

The biggest feature of Xuantian Gong is the understanding of meridians, which is also the biggest difference between the martial arts world and the Douluo world.

In the world of martial arts, internal force circulates throughout the body, and there is a lot of research on meridians. To a certain extent, the research on the human body is more detailed.

In the Douluo world, there are no such things as meridians. It is more about circulating soul power throughout the body. The level may be higher, but it is not as detailed as in the martial arts world.

Especially the human body's meridian map. Now only Yang Podi and a few others have the complete version. Those castrated versions of Xuantian Gong that have been circulated outside have also castrated a lot of the meridian maps. This is the biggest difference.

Those meridian maps that were castrated only had a rough division of the meridians, but did not have the detailed eight extraordinary meridians.

The meridians in the human body can generally be divided into twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. The twelve meridians refer to the gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, lung meridian, large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, and triple burner meridian. These twelve meridians connect the vital energy of the five internal organs in the human body, including the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, large intestine, small intestine, stomach, gallbladder, bladder, and triple burner. If the meridians in the whole body can be opened up, the circulation can be achieved naturally, and the body will be endless and continuous.

If the study of meridians is basic knowledge, then the study of the eight extraordinary meridians is a higher-level study of meridians.

The eight extra meridians are different from the twelve regular meridians. They are neither directly related to the internal organs nor have any exterior-interior coordination relationship. They are called "extraordinary meridians" because they take "different paths".

The eight extra meridians crisscross and run among the twelve meridians, and their functions are mainly manifested in two aspects.

First, it connects the twelve meridians. The eight extraordinary meridians connect the meridians with similar locations and functions, achieving the function of regulating the qi and blood of the relevant meridians and coordinating yin and yang.

Secondly, the eight extra meridians regulate the accumulation and infiltration of qi and blood in the twelve meridians. When the qi and blood in the twelve meridians and internal organs are vigorous, the eight extra meridians can accumulate them, and when the body's functional activities require it, the eight extra meridians can infiltrate and supply it.

It is precisely because of these differences that Yang Podi dared to release the Xuantian Gong.

At the same time, Yang Podi was also very fortunate that he had eaten the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. One of the greatest functions of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was that it could open up the eight meridians. In other words, without the cultivation of internal strength or soul power, one could reach the state where soul power could circulate automatically in the meridians. It was truly a magical item.

After half a year of practice, Xuantian Gong has only reached the third level. The first level, which was the easiest, only took one month, and the second level only took two months. According to estimates, the third level may take about four months.

But Yang Podi personally felt that it would take at most two years to practice Xuantian Gong to the level of his current soul power.

After passing Xuantian Gong to several other people, their cultivation speed was obviously much slower than Yang Podi, and it took them almost twice as long as Yang Podi.

But for everyone, this time is very worthwhile. The highest among them is only a Soul King, which means that when they practice to the 5th level of Xuantian Gong, they can fully adapt to the practice of Xuantian Gong. At that time, they will have a wider space for practice and a broader prospect. Compared with soul masters of the same level, their soul power is much stronger, and even the recovery speed of soul power is much faster.

Unexpectedly, the person who practiced Xuantian Gong the fastest was not Yang Tianyue who had the highest talent, nor Ye Lingling who had the highest soul power, but Niu Meng. Perhaps it was because the Vajra Arhat Fruit had a similar effect to the Qirong Tongtian Ju, and his meridians would be smoother.

After half a year of hard training, Yang Podi finally reached the peak of level 69 and would soon enter level 70. According to his own estimation, it would take at most ten days or half a month to break through to the Soul Saint realm.

At this time, the family residence has been completed and Tianxing College is finally about to open.

In the past six months, the tribesmen have taken over the entire Almo Mountain area, and have arranged personnel to perform martial spirit awakening on ordinary people in the entire Almo Mountain area.

The Spirit Hall has apparently withdrawn from the entire Almo Mountain area, and even officials from the Heaven Dou Empire have withdrawn from the Almo Mountain area.

Although the various sub-halls of the Spirit Hall are spread all over the continent, they are still unable to reach the vicinity of those major sects.

The lord of Monet City is a member of the Yu clan, a level 73 Soul Saint. He also built a Champion Marquis Mansion in Monet City, but it is usually uninhabited and serves as a symbol of the highest rule in the region.

The Almo Mountain area now almost completely belongs to Yang Podi, or in other words, to Tianxing Academy.

I don’t know if it’s because the area around Mount Almo is too remote, but children in many areas have not awakened in time. This time, apart from the 6-year-old children, there are also some or -year-old children whose martial spirits have awakened in the entire area.

In the entire Almo Mountain area, there are about 300 children who have awakened their martial spirits. However, generally speaking, their spirit power levels are relatively low. More than 5% of them have innate spirit power below level 5. There are only more than 30 people with innate spirit power above level 7. The highest is only level , and there is only one person.

Moreover, according to the regulations just issued by the Champion Marquis' Mansion in Mount Almo, Tianxing Academy will enroll students of all appropriate ages. Anyone under the age of 12 who has awakened their innate soul power can enroll. Anyone between the ages of 12 and 18 who has become a soul master can also enroll. However, there are only about a hundred people in total.

However, with these 400 people, the academy can almost operate normally. But this also leads to a very strange phenomenon. Among all the academies in the entire Douluo Continent, Tianxing Academy has the strongest faculty, but the overall level of its students is the worst.

However, neither Yang Podi nor his family members care much about it. At this stage, the most important thing is the accumulation of students and teaching. As time goes by, or the reputation of the academy spreads, the number of students will naturally increase, and even the level of students will gradually improve. Any high-level soul master academy is formed after years of accumulation.

Tianxing Academy is very different from other academies. All students in the academy are free of charge, and all funds are provided by the academy, which also includes various training resources, mainly some facilities and simulated environments.

As for more resources, you need to rely on your own efforts to obtain them, such as gaining the favor of a certain teacher, or being extremely talented and willing to stay in Tianxing College to make contributions in the future.

Regardless of the measures, the purpose is to enhance the strength of Tianxing Academy.

Some children from several major families also entered Tianxing Academy to study, but there were only a few dozen people in total, and they were considered the backbone of Tianxing Academy students.

At this time, on the top of Mount Almo, on a ring, Yang Podi and several others were on the ring, and some core members of the family were watching around them.

However, at this time, Yang Podi was standing alone on one side, while the other side was composed of the rest of the group, including Yang Ping'an, Yang Tianyue, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Niu Meng, Yang Yuxuan, and Niu Kui.

Yang Podi said to the other seven people: "All along, the seven of you have been practicing on your own, and you have some experience fighting against soul beasts in the forest. Perhaps among your peers, you have more combat experience."

"But today I want to teach you another lesson, and it is also the most important lesson. Do you know what you are still missing?"

The seven people on the opposite side shook their heads. They were all very strong and talented. They could even win the Soul Master Competition with just this seven-man lineup. They were the strongest among their peers.

Yang Podi said coldly: "You have been in the academy all this time, and you have never really fought a life-and-death battle with the enemy, nor have you killed anyone. There is a big difference between the fighting spirits in the academy and the fighting in the soul master world. The biggest difference is that you will do whatever it takes to kill the opponent."

"I will fight you today. I will not use soul skills. I will suppress your soul power and strength to the same level as you. I will let you understand what true killing is."

The faces of the seven people on the opposite side suddenly became very solemn. They had fought against Yang Podi before, but they were defeated miserably every time. No one could last a few rounds against Yang Podi, and this was when Yang Podi did not use his full strength.
