Chapter 154 Pope Bibidon
Led by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yang Podi followed him to a villa. The villa was exquisitely decorated, and there was a large garden behind it, filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants. This must be Chrysanthemum Douluo's home.
Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled and said to Yang Podi, "Young friend Yang Podi, do you know where I've brought you?"
Yang Podi simply smiled and said, "Judging from the decor of this house, it must be your home, senior."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly: "Then do you know why I brought you here?"
"Senior should have already sensed the difference in my scent and body; it's probably because of what I've eaten!"
Ju Douluoka quickly interjected, "Young friend, do you know what you've eaten?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment: "A rare and precious chrysanthemum, but unfortunately I've already eaten it. I'm afraid it will never be found again in the entire Douluo Continent."
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke again: "Do you know the function of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum? You actually ate it so easily."
Yang Podi shook his head: "Without this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, how could I have achieved the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years? Senior's martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, so you should understand its function even more."
After pondering for a long time, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally spoke: "Young friend, I am willing to accept you as my disciple. I wonder if you would be willing to become my master?"
Yang Podi simply smiled and said, "Senior, do you think I still need to become an apprentice with my current strength?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a little surprised when he heard this: "Young friend, you have unlimited potential. You are only nineteen years old and you have already reached level sixty-seven. Obviously, you have your own cultivation methods and plans. I really have nothing to teach you in terms of cultivation."
Upon seeing this, Yang Podi quickly said, "Senior, you flatter me. Although I have my own cultivation methods, I'm afraid that apart from our Po clan, there are very few people on the entire continent who understand the rare flowers and herbs in your garden."
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately became interested: "Young friend, do you also study all kinds of rare flowers and herbs? Where did you obtain your extraordinary chrysanthemum?"
"Senior, when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest with my elders to search for my fourth spirit ring, I discovered this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. I guess I was quite lucky."
Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered for a moment: "Humans rarely venture into the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the spiritual energy there is abundant, making it indeed possible for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to grow there. However, while a single Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can enhance your physique, it cannot withstand the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and it probably won't be enough to support you in absorbing your ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring."
"As expected, you have a deep understanding of rare flowers and herbs. At the place where I obtained the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, I also obtained another immortal herb that can enhance spiritual power."
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself, "Although there are many kinds of immortal herbs in this world, it seems that very few can enhance spiritual power. Wait, did you perhaps consume the 'Longing for Autumn Dew'?"
Yang Podi quickly said, "Senior, you are indeed amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to deduce it from just a few words. I admire you."
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Young friend, have you discovered any other immortal herbs? Are there any immortal herbs you haven't eaten yet?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi remained silent and did not respond.
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to realize his abruptness and calmed his agitated emotions before speaking: "Young friend, you can rest assured that I will absolutely not tell anyone about what we met today. I can keep this promise."
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "I'm really sorry, but this last immortal herb is already a treasured heirloom of my Po clan. It is currently kept in the clan and is being personally guarded by the elders."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was indeed a genius when it came to plants. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Po Clan is skilled in alchemy and poison making. The immortal herb you mentioned that has become a treasured heirloom of the Po Clan, could it be the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb? No wonder the Po Clan's alchemy level has improved so much in recent years. It turns out it's because of this immortal herb."
"If you are interested, you are welcome to visit my Broken Clan at any time."
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's previously excited expression cooled down: "Young friend, our Spirit Hall has a grudge against the Breaking Clan. Are you really so indifferent to past hatred?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "In the war back then, many of my Po clan members did die, but with your strength, senior, if you had taken action against my Po clan, I'm afraid none of my Po clan members would have escaped back then."
"Besides, haven't my grandfather and maternal grandfather already challenged the senior to a duel? Some things are better left unsaid than a fight."
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to carry a hint of pride: "I would disdain to slaughter ordinary soul masters. As for the feud between our two families, we'll talk about that after this great battle between your grandfather and me."
At this moment, Yang Podi also became serious: "Senior, I have something I would like to ask you to enlighten me on. I wonder if it would be convenient?"
Seeing Yang Podi's serious expression, Chrysanthemum Douluo also became serious: "If there's anything you want to know, just ask. I can't guarantee I can answer it."
Yang Podi pondered for a moment before speaking, "Senior, given the current situation, how can my Po clan be preserved?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to deliberately pretend not to understand Yang Podi's words: "Young friend, your knowledge is quite good. I heard that your fief is Mount Almo, that place is quite nice."
Yang Podi quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
The two then discussed some exotic flowers and herbs, and even some medicinal properties of herbal remedies. They got along quite well.
After chatting for more than an hour, Yang Podi left Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence and returned to the arena to watch the battle. Of course, Yang Podi also invited Chrysanthemum Douluo to visit the Po Clan after the battle.
When Grandpa Yang Wudi saw Yang Podi return, he seemed a little worried and asked, "Podi, what did Juhua Pass want with you? Did you get into trouble?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo invited me to discuss some rare flowers and herbs, but he didn't make things difficult for me."
Grandpa Yang Wudi was somewhat relieved: "This Chrysanthemum Pass, whose martial spirit is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, has only ever liked studying flowers and plants all his life, but he has never obtained any immortal herbs in his entire life."
With the conclusion of the third round, Tiandu Team 2 has advanced to the fourth round, bringing the total number of teams in the fourth round to six.
Of the six teams that made it to the fourth round, Tian Dou Team 2, Tian Dou Team 1, and Wu Hun Dian Team are clearly the strongest, while the other three teams are much weaker.
In the fourth round, there were no clashes between strong teams. Although Yang Podi took to the field, it was not very interesting to fight against such a weak team. So he simply stayed at the back of the team and let the other six fight. Even though it was six against seven, Tian Dou Team 2 had a crushing situation and easily won the victory.
Team Tian Dou and Team Wu Hun also won easily and advanced to the fifth round.
As time went on, the finals finally reached the fifth round, and the location for the fifth round changed to the front of the Papal Palace.
Early that morning, the main players and substitutes of all three teams walked to the front of the Papal Palace, seemingly waiting quietly for the final match.
Of the three teams, Team Tiandou 2 had the easiest time. At least on the surface, under the leadership of Soul Emperor Yang Podi, they were unstoppable and basically crushed all their opponents.
The most nervous team was the Spirit Hall team, especially the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, who held a very high position within the Spirit Hall.
After years of fighting, the three of them broke through to the Soul King realm, and their strength far surpassed that of their peers. Moreover, all three of them had obtained the Purple Record Medal. It can be said that the Spirit Hall had spent a great deal of effort to cultivate these three, and it can even be said that the three soul bones were carefully selected for them.
In a sense, the three of them already represent the glory of the Spirit Hall. In any case, this Spirit Master Competition cannot allow any failures; the championship is their only goal.
Judging from previous matches, they have basically dominated all their opponents.
Surprisingly, the strength of the Tian Dou Second Team exceeded everyone's expectations, especially Yang Podi, a Soul Emperor whose strength had reached level 67, far surpassing the three members of the Golden Generation. He could even easily defeat the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo Royal Academy team.
How could the Spirit Hall team not be nervous when they encountered such a formidable opponent on their path to victory? If they lost, all of Spirit Hall's previous publicity and efforts would be in vain, and they would have to give away three spirit bones to others for nothing. At that time, the so-called Golden Generation would truly become a laughing stock.
Team Tian Dou seemed quite nervous. They had reached the final three, and who wouldn't want to win? Especially since the championship was related to three priceless soul bones.
On the surface, however, the Tian Dou team is the weakest of the three teams, and all their boasts seem destined to be nothing more than a joke.
However, Yang Podi noticed that there seemed to be a new player in the Spirit Hall team's substitute lineup. This person was tall, with long golden hair, and even wore a veil. But the eyes that were visible were very beautiful, and could even exude an air of arrogance.
Yang Podi thought to himself: I didn't expect her to come out for a Soul Master Competition. This final is going to be quite interesting.
Just then, twelve cardinals emerged from the side door of the Papal Palace, the leader announcing, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
Everyone present, including those from the Spirit Hall, seemed excited and cheered, "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Immediately afterwards, the doors of the Papal Palace opened, and everyone's attention seemed to be focused on the center.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a long, shimmering gold gown from head to toe, wearing a purple-gold crown and holding a scepter, walked out of the Papal Palace with a solemn expression. It was Yang Podi's first time seeing Bibi Dong, and indeed, she had a perfect figure and stunning beauty.
Behind her were six people: Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao.
Apart from Ning Fengzhi, everyone else was a Title Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi himself was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, holding a high position, and was also an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall.
After the seven entered the arena, countless people knelt down on one knee, even the Spirit Hall team knelt down, only the Heaven Dou Team 1 and Heaven Dou Team 2 did not kneel down.
Chrysanthemum Douluo whispered a few words behind Pope Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong's gaze immediately found two people in the two teams: Yang Podi from the Heaven Dou Second Team and Tang San from the Heaven Dou First Team.
An invisible pressure seemed to emanate from the two of them.
Although Yang Podi felt immense pressure, it was nothing compared to his current strength.
Yang Podi stood still, like a javelin. In his spiritual sea, a silver giant held the Soul-Breaking Spear, facing the pressure with unwavering determination, seemingly ready to pierce through everything at any moment.
Tang San of the Heaven Dou Team showed a hint of pain on his face, but his eyes seemed to have turned purple, and a purple light even appeared in his eyes, as if he was about to shoot towards Bibi Dong.
The cardinal standing nearby angrily rebuked, "How dare you! How dare you disrespect His Holiness the Pope!"
Bibi Dong gently waved her fair, jade-like left hand, and the cardinal fell silent.
Bibi Dong first looked at Yang Podi, seemingly praising him slightly, "Yang Podi, you are very good. I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age. Your future is definitely limitless."
Bibi Dong's words seemed to be praise, but Yang Podi seemed to sense a trace of killing intent. This was only because Yang Podi had been in the City of Slaughter for a long time, and even the titled Douluo present did not sense it.
Then, Bibi Dong looked at Tang San of the Heaven Dou Team and said calmly, "Are you Tang San, the disciple of Grandmaster? You are very good. You do indeed have some of Grandmaster's spirit back then."
Tang San seemed rather surprised, but ultimately spoke respectfully, "I dare not compare myself to my teacher."
Bibi Dong no longer paid attention to the two of them, but looked at everyone present and gently waved her scepter: "Rise, all of you."
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, everyone who was kneeling seemed to stand up rhythmically.
