Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

After three days of travel, Yang Podi and his group finally returned to Heavenly Academy. However, the academy seemed unusually quiet, as if something significant was about to happen.

This journey had lasted a full four months, and everyone had gained substantial rewards. They had obtained five Hundred -thousand-year soul rings and bones and uncovered some secrets about the Star Dou Forest.

Yang Zhentian, Yang Podi's father, had emerged from his closed-door cultivation and reached Level 97, making him one of the rare top experts on the continent. Even among the Upper Three Sects, only one Titled Douluo at Level 97 existed at most.

Yang Wudi, Yang Podi's grandfather, convened a small meeting to brief everyone about recent events.

In the past few months, multiple forces, including the Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Clear Sky Clan, had sent representatives to visit the academy, mostly to express goodwill. It appeared that these factions wanted to recruit Heavenly Academy to their side, especially the Heaven Dou Empire.

The tension between Spirit Hall and the two empires had escalated significantly. Although Spirit Hall had kept a relatively low profile recently, it was now a source of great concern for everyone, particularly the two empires.

The situation in the Heaven Dou Empire was especially precarious. Within the Heaven Dou City region alone, there were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Clear Sky Clan, boasting a total of seven Titled Douluo. However, the empire itself lacked its own Titled Douluo, and if the two clans ever turned against them, the empire might be destroyed outright.

Meanwhile, Spirit Hall had launched simultaneous attacks on the Upper Three Sects, displaying a significant portion of its strength. Spirit Hall alone had over ten Titled Douluo and tens of thousands of soul masters, placing immense pressure on all other factions.

Moreover, Spirit Hall planned to reestablish the Seven Great Clans next year, further provoking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Clear Sky Clan, who were already weakened and left in a difficult position.

Currently, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Clear Sky Clan each had barely five hundred soul masters. Their combined numbers were even fewer than the Lower Four Sects, which meant they might not even qualify to compete.

According to reports, the Heaven Dou Empire, Clear Sky Clan, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would soon send representatives to visit Heavenly Academy, likely to propose alliances and possibly seek sympathy by portraying themselves as victims.

After careful thought, Yang Podi spoke, "Ignore them. Let's focus on our own matters. In a few days, I'll head to Heaven Dou City to bring Grandpa Ye Renxin back. That way, they can stop dreaming about using him."

Yang Podi had no interest in these sect conflicts. He had specifically taken Ye Lingling to heal Chrysanthemum Douluo to avoid unnecessary clashes with Spirit Hall. Forming alliances was meaningless at this point, especially since Yang Podi held little regard for the Heaven Dou Empire's strength.

For Yang Podi, there was something far more critical than sect politics—his cultivation. Nothing was more important than increasing his strength.

Yang Podi planned to focus on condensing his second soul core, which was the true key to his progress.

However, this was where Yang Podi hesitated. Though his soul power had already reached the peak of Level 97, and he could likely break through to Level 98 within half a year, he still lacked sufficient control over his soul power. His soul power had been accumulated through soul rings rather than cultivated naturally.

One major drawback was that Yang Podi lacked a head soul bone. This limited his spiritual strength and control. Although his spiritual strength was already at the level of an Ultimate Douluo, he was still inferior to Poseidon in this regard.

Moreover, Yang Podi's goal was to form a Yin-Yang Balanced Twin Soul Core, which was even more dangerous and demanded exceptional control over his body and soul power.

Yang Podi, being a full-body martial soul, possessed a physical strength that likely surpassed even most Ultimate Douluo. However, he still lacked a head and torso soul bone, which remained a disadvantage.

As for the composition of his twin soul cores, his first soul core controlled the Extreme Metal attribute, while the second would focus on Extreme Strength. These two attributes were his strongest at the moment.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao had a first soul core controlling spiritual power and a second one controlling soul power. He was the first human soul master to form a Yin-Yang Balanced Twin Soul Core, thanks to the assistance of multiple soul spirits—a near-cheat-like advantage.

Yang Podi, however, had no such external help. He had no soul spirits and no one to assist him, leaving him at a relative disadvantage.

After years of hard work, Yang Podi had mastered the Mysterious Heaven Technique, gaining precise control over his soul power, which was one of his greatest advantages.

This time, Yang Podi entered seclusion without informing anyone. Others would be of no help to him anyway, as his spiritual power and soul power far exceeded theirs.

Inside the secluded chamber, Yang Podi adjusted his state to its peak and began preparing to condense his second soul core.

The first step was to activate his existing soul core. Yang Podi focused inward, visualizing his dantian, where a dark-golden soul core rotated rapidly. This soul core represented the culmination of years of cultivation and the transformation brought by absorbing his ninth soul ring, granting him mastery over Extreme Metal and Extreme Strength.

The first step required separating the metallic and strength attributes within his soul core.

According to Yang Podi's plan, his first soul core would focus on Extreme Metal, while his second soul core would harness Extreme Strength. As for a potential third soul core, he would decide in the future. Yang Podi had no doubts about reaching the Ultimate Douluo level.

Using the Mysterious Heaven Technique to its fullest, Yang Podi's entire body filled with soul power. His existing soul core operated even during rest, continuously cultivating.

As time passed, the soul core slowed its rotation, as if it were extracting some primordial force. Its golden hue gradually darkened, the original metallic color fading.

When Yang Podi had depleted about 70% of his soul power, a black sphere began forming beside his original soul core. However, it was only a semi-formed soul core located near his heart.

By the time Yang Podi had consumed 90% of his soul power, his entire body was overwhelmed with weakness. Both soul cores seemed to have drained all his energy.

This was the critical moment. He had to make both soul cores rotate simultaneously, and in reverse directions, which required immense spiritual strength.

The golden soul core, located in his dantian, was the foundation and began spinning first, relatively easily.

Activating the second soul core, however, was the real challenge. It was the ultimate goal.

As the first soul core rotated, Yang Podi's body exuded a repulsive force, as if it sought to expel all attributes related to strength.

When Yang Podi exhausted his soul power, the second soul core finally started spinning. However, this marked the true beginning of his ordeal.

As the black soul core began to rotate, two soul cores now coexisted in his body. The repulsive force between them was overwhelming, as if it might tear his body apart.

This moment tested Yang Podi's physical resilience. In the original story, among all the soul beasts, only Di Tian successfully formed a second soul core, thanks to the innate physical strength of his Black Dragon lineage. Yang Podi relied on the golden-grade awakening of his full-body martial soul.

Over time, the two soul cores continued to repel and clash, with each collision threatening to shatter his body. Yang Podi could feel his physique cracking and breaking apart.

However, as the twin soul cores operated, they absorbed energy from the surrounding air, spinning faster and faster, like two high-speed spheres intent on destroying everything.

Yang Podi's body underwent repeated cycles of destruction, repair, and reconstruction, accompanied by excruciating pain.

The biggest problem now was whether the body had enough energy to sustain the operation of two soul cores simultaneously—this was a concern that had always troubled Yang Podi.

Huo Yuhao had relied on the dragon pill given by Long Xiaoyao to have sufficient power to form his second soul core. However, Yang Podi had no such dragon pill.

Fortunately, Yang Podi possessed another item—the inner core of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake obtained in the Slaughter City. He had originally planned to use this inner core to form a fire-attribute soul ring, but it seemed he would have to use it earlier than planned.

Throughout the Douluo world, inner cores of such caliber were exceedingly rare, their value immeasurable.

Ma Hongjun had used the inner core of a Ten-Headed Sun Snake to achieve a second evolution of his martial soul. This demonstrated the immense energy contained within the core, as it was capable of advancing even a Phoenix martial soul.

Enduring the pain ravaging his body, Yang Podi took out the inner core and placed it against his chest.

The two soul cores within his body continued spinning rapidly, absorbing the energy from the surrounding air at an alarming rate. As his body began to absorb the energy from the inner core, the process became both more ferocious and perilous.

Over time, the Ten-Headed Sun Snake's inner core began to spin as well, slowly disintegrating into countless streams of energy that were gradually absorbed by the two soul cores.

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed, but the once-clashing and repelling soul cores began to stabilize, achieving a new equilibrium. Each core developed its own unique rotation patterns, forming vortex-like structures.

Yang Podi himself had already exhausted all his spiritual power and fell unconscious. Even in his unconscious state, his body continued to endure extreme pain.

After an unknown period, Yang Podi finally regained consciousness. His body seemed to have undergone a profound transformation. It had become stronger, as if it had been forged through countless trials, with results even superior to the Tide Body Refinement of Seagod Island.

Yang Podi immediately performed an internal inspection. Within his body, two soul cores were spinning steadily. A golden soul core resided in his dantian, embodying the Ultimate Gold attribute. Meanwhile, a black soul core, signifying the Ultimate Strength attribute, was located near his chest.

The two soul cores existed in a peculiar balance within his body. They seemed to neither interfere with one another nor work against each other. Instead, they promoted mutual growth and development. When the two cores spun simultaneously, his cultivation speed had significantly increased compared to when he had only a single soul core.

Yang Podi's face lit up with excitement: "It's done! I've finally succeeded in forming the Yin-Yang Balanced Dual Soul Cores. With just a little more time, I will truly have the strength to contend with Di Tian."

Moreover, the successful formation of the two soul cores had enabled Yang Podi to break through to Rank 98. This was an accomplishment achieved through his own cultivation efforts. Even against an Ultimate Douluo, he now had the confidence to face them head-on.
