Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

Yang Podi didn't rush to come out of seclusion. Instead, he continued cultivating alone, aiming to restore his physical condition and soul power to their peak.

When Yang Podi finally exited seclusion, his father, Yang Zhentian, looked at him strangely and asked, "Podi, what happened to you recently? I felt that the soul power fluctuations in your cultivation area were unusually strong. Especially five days ago, it seemed like all the soul power in the vicinity had been drained."

Yang Podi merely smiled faintly. "Dad, I've reached level 98."

Yang Zhentian was shocked. "How did you reach level 98 so quickly? I remember you were only at the peak of level 97 before you went into seclusion. How did you break through?"

"And you don't even have a full set of soul bones. How is it possible to advance to level 98?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "I just had some insights during cultivation and broke through."

Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was speechless. Many people spend their entire lives unable to break through from level 97 to level 98, yet his son managed to do it so effortlessly. What kind of monster was his son?

Yang Podi had no intention of revealing the secret of his dual soul cores for now. After all, no one else could form a Yin-Yang balanced dual soul core. The risks were too high, and their physical bodies wouldn't be able to handle it.

He decided to study it thoroughly himself first, and only then think about researching the resonance dual-core soul core.

After reaching level 98, Yang Podi felt a qualitative leap in his physical strength. His body, speed, and all other attributes had become significantly stronger. Even his cultivation speed and application of soul power had improved greatly.

However, Yang Podi still felt some deficiencies. He needed to obtain a skull and a torso soul bone as soon as possible. Without them, he felt incomplete.

Just as Yang Podi was immersed in his cultivation, his mother suddenly informed him that he was needed in the family's reception hall.

Hearing this, Yang Podi's heart grew heavier. They've come so soon? It seems I'll need to show some strength.

When Yang Podi arrived at the reception hall, it was already filled with people. Among them were Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Sword Douluo, Ning Rongrong, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Tang San from the Clear Sky Clan, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, as well as Tai tan and Bai He. From the looks of it, their visit was anything but friendly.

On his family's side, his grandfather Yang Wudi, father Yang Zhentian, maternal grandfather Niu Gao, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo were all present. Their expressions were solemn, indicating that the discussions had not been going well.

Yang Podi ignored everyone else and sat directly next to his grandfather Yang Wudi, adopting the demeanor of a decision-maker.

Looking at the tense faces of the four, Yang Podi calmly said, "Grandfather, let me handle this. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi felt more at ease and nodded slightly without saying another word.

Yang Podi then addressed the visitors. "Your Highness Crown Prince, Clan Master Tang Xiao, Clan Master Ning, may I ask the purpose of your visit to our Tianxing Academy?"

The group fell into silence at Yang Podi's words, seemingly unsure how to respond.

Finally, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe broke the silence. "Student Yang Podi, we've come here this time to discuss forming an alliance to jointly resist Spirit Hall. What do you think?"

Yang Podi replied coldly, "I have no thoughts on the matter. Our Heavenly Academy is just an ordinary academy dedicated to teaching. We have no intention of forming alliances or participating in the conflicts of the soul master world."

Xue Qinghe shook his head. "Spirit Hall's power is growing. They've attacked the Clear Sky Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, inflicting significant losses. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has even been annihilated. Their ambitions are clear—they intend to unify the soul master world and the entire Douluo Continent. Even if Heavenly Academy wishes to remain neutral, it will be impossible to stay uninvolved."

Yang Podi sneered. "The three clans have been opposing Spirit Hall for years. It's only natural for something like this to happen. What does it have to do with our Heavenly Academy? Moreover, our academy is located in a remote area and has never intended to meddle in the soul master world."

Xue Qinghe seemed a bit annoyed. "Yang Podi, don't forget that you hold the title of Champion Marquis in the Heaven Dou Empire. The empire's current dire situation demands your service."

Yang Podi stared at Xue Qinghe and said, "That Champion Marquis title was a reward for the Soul Master Tournament, not because I pledged allegiance to the Heaven Dou Empire. If the empire wants to revoke it, they can do so. Do you think I care about such a title?"

Yang Podi's indifferent attitude caused the room to fall silent once again. Xue Qinghe simply shook his head and said nothing further.

Yang Podi scanned the group and continued, "Our Heavenly Academy is just an ordinary academy, not a major sect or power. We don't want to provoke trouble. We don't wish to offend Spirit Hall or the three clans. So, we won't participate in your affairs."

Ning Fengzhi spoke sternly. "Young friend Yang Podi, is this really your attitude toward Spirit Hall? Even if you try to avoid it, once Spirit Hall finishes dealing with us, they won't spare you."

Yang Podi shook his head. "My attitude is the same toward everyone: If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. But if people offend me, I will kill them. This applies to Spirit Hall and the three clans alike."

Ning Fengzhi pressed further. "Can you represent everyone in Heavenly Academy?"

Yang Podi replied calmly, "Since I'm the one speaking, I can naturally represent Tianxing Academy."

The members of Tianxing Academy, including Yang Wudi and the others, remained silent, clearly acquiescing.

At this point, Yu Xiaogang grew agitated. "Why is everyone so selfish? Spirit Hall is committing atrocities, aiming to destroy all sects and unify the soul master world. This threatens the entire continent!"

Yang Podi shook his head. "Yu Xiaogang, on what grounds are you saying these things? Everyone here is a leader of a major power, and they should all understand that every great power rises by stepping over countless corpses. Whether it's the three clans or the Heaven Dou Empire, they've all destroyed countless opposing forces to maintain their dominance."

"Especially the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How many dragon-affiliated sects did they destroy back then? Does that not count as harming the soul master world?"

"Our Heavenly Academy has no interest in these grudges in the soul master world. Why should we go against Spirit Hall?"

Yu Xiaogang was speechless. As Yang Podi pointed out, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had indeed been notorious for their dominance and had eliminated many sects.

Tang San, however, stepped forward coldly. "Yang Podi, I hope you'll show respect to my teacher."

At his words, an overwhelming killing intent erupted from Yang Podi, enveloping the entire room. Everyone felt as though a mountain was crushing them.

The killing intent focused intensely on Tang San, who felt as if he had been thrown into a hellish abyss, completely losing control of his body.

Tang Xiao quickly pulled Tang San behind him, shielding him from the killing intent. Even so, a streak of blood trickled from Tang San's mouth.

Seeing Tang Xiao intervene, Yang Podi smirked coldly, withdrawing his killing intent as if nothing had happened.

Yang Podi said to Tang Xiao, "Tang Clan Master, I advise you to discipline your nephew. Not everyone fears the Clear Sky Clan, and not everyone will give you face."

Tang Xiao's expression turned grim. "Yang Podi, don't you think you've gone too far?"

Yang Podi sneered. "If someone interrupted you while you were speaking, how would you respond, Clan Master Tang?"

Tang Xiao turned to Yang Wudi. "Yang Wudi, is this how your grandson speaks to people?"

Yang Wudi showed no hesitation. "Did Podi say anything wrong? With the Clear Sky Clan's reputation, anyone who dared speak to you like that would've long lost their life."

Tang Xiao's expression grew more serious. "Do we really have to go this far, Yang Wudi? Don't forget, the Breaking Clan rose to prominence because of the Clear Sky Clan. Without us, your clan would've been wiped out long ago."

Yang Wudi's face darkened as he replied coldly, "It's true that the Breaking Clan rose thanks to the Clear Sky Clan. But we also fought for you for many years and lost half of our people in the process. Do you still think that's not enough?"

Tang Xiao gritted his teeth. "Not enough. The Breaking Clan was just a fallen family of a few dozen members. Without the Clear Sky Clan, you could never have grown to hundreds of soul masters, comparable to the lower four clans."

Yang Wudi's anger surged. "What do you want, then? The Breaking Clan will never be anyone's dog again. Besides, it was your Clear Sky Clan that abandoned us back then."

Tang Xiao didn't respond, but instead looked at Tang Hao behind him, the silence speaking volumes.

Tang Hao, uncharacteristically quiet, appeared frail and dispirited. Clearly, he had suffered severe injuries, and his strength was greatly diminished.

Yang Wudi sighed, tossing a jade box to Tang Xiao. "Forget it. This Earth Origin Fruit can heal Tang Hao's injuries. From now on, the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan will sever all ties with the Clear Sky Clan. If something like today happens again, don't expect any courtesy."

Yang Podi's maternal grandfather, Niu Gao, echoed resolutely, "From now on, the Defense and the Breaking Clan are no longer affiliated with the Clear Sky Clan. All ties are severed."

Yang Podi shook his head at the scene. His grandfather and Niu Gao had spent most of their lives in the Clear Sky Clan. Cutting ties wasn't easy, and Tang Xiao's words about the clans owing their rise to the Clear Sky Clan weren't untrue. The debt was heavy.

But perhaps this was for the best—cutting the last ties and ending the entanglements once and for all.

With nothing more to say, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and his group left Heavenly Academy.

After they left, Yang Wudi seemed despondent. "Podi, did I make the wrong choice?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "Grandfather, our family values clear distinctions between gratitude and grievances. That Earth Origin Fruit is nothing more than a rare treasure. At most, it can heal Tang Hao's injuries. Given his condition over the years, it's unlikely he'll ever progress further without other heavenly materials."

"And besides, Tang Hao is just one man—he can't stir up much trouble."
