Chapter 47: Three Major Events
🕑 Added 2024-10-10 21:18:34 +0000 UTCIn the following period, Dugu Yan trained and studied with Yang Podi and Yang Pingan. Clearly, Dugu Yan was a strong-willed girl. Although she couldn't match Yang Podi and Yang Pingan in training intensity, she managed to keep up to some extent.
Niu Jinfeng privately spoke with Yang Podi, "Son, what do you think of Yan Yan?"
Yang Podi seemed a bit puzzled, "Yan Yan is alright, I guess. She's quite diligent and has decent talent. Although her poison is a bit troublesome, it's not unsolvable."
Hearing this, Niu Jinfeng was speechless. "Son, I meant, what do you think of Yan Yan's personality? Is she pretty? How do you feel being with her?"
"I think she's fine. Yan Yan is a good person, and we all get along quite well."
"Well, son, have you ever thought about making Yan Yan your wife?"
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm only eight years old. Isn't it too early to talk about these things?"
"It's not early at all. Nowadays, many young people are married and having children before they're twenty. You don't have that much time left. You should start thinking about it."
Yang Podi was at a loss for words. "Mom, I'm still young. I don't want to consider such things for now."
In the end, their conversation wrapped up, with Yang Podi using his young age as an excuse to avoid the topic. Niu Jinfeng had no choice but to let it go.
After their talk, Yang Podi thought to himself: According to the original story, Dugu Yan ends up with Yu Tianheng. The two families even plan to form an alliance. Now that the Breaking Clan can cure the poison from the Dugu family's inherited martial soul, do they intend to marry us off? But I'm only eight years old, and there are still so many beauties in the original story that I haven't met. It feels a bit unsatisfying.
Ten days later, Dugu Bo, having completed his treatment, left with Dugu Yan. She seemed a bit reluctant, shedding tears like a little girl as she departed. They promised to visit and play together often.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years passed. Yang Podi was now eleven and a half years old.
Many major events occurred over these three years. First, under the treatment of Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, Dugu Bo's poison was greatly alleviated, and he experienced almost no side effects in the short term. Dugu Bo then seized the opportunity to finally break through to Titled Douluo.
Since Dugu Bo had always been a guest of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, this meant that the Heaven Dou Empire now had a Titled Douluo in their ranks.
However, Dugu Bo was known for his rebellious nature. He only served the Heaven Dou Imperial Family out of gratitude to Prince Xue Xing. His level of commitment in critical moments was uncertain.
Dugu Bo's lifestyle remained solitary—either cultivating at his residence, researching poisons with the Breaking Clan, or training alone in the forest like a lone ranger.
Secondly, significant changes occurred within the Breaking Clan. Yang Wudi, his grandfather, had reached level 86, while his great-uncle Yang Wushuang had reached level 85. Both seemed to increase their spirit power by one level annually and were unlikely to face bottlenecks soon.
His father, even more astonishingly, had reached level 85, surpassing his uncles in spirit power progression. At this rate, he could surpass them both.
Now, his two great-uncles felt pressured. If their nephew or son surpassed them in spirit power, how could they remain clan leaders? So, they were spending more time on cultivation, even at the expense of their medicinal research. Dugu Bo, who visited to discuss poison research, found it bewildering. He would ask, "Weren't we supposed to be studying poison together? Why are you two focusing on cultivation now?" He even found it absurd that they were so focused on cultivating now that they were older rather than when they were younger.
Even so, Dugu Bo wasn't interested in fighting with Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang. They were battle maniacs and, despite being Contras, could even put up a fight against him. He didn't want to be known as the weakest Titled Douluo.
The Breaking Clan had a treasured Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, which his grandfathers used to make pills with the help of Yang Podi's herbs. On the day the pills were ready, they were elated, almost like they had gone mad.
Among the six clan elders, two advanced to Contra, and the remaining four reached high-level Spirit Saint.
Yang Podi's mother also advanced at a rapid pace, reaching level 79 within three years, which was enough to shock many.
However, knowing the rise and fall of the Clear Sky Clan, his two grandfathers encouraged the clan to remain low-profile, hiding the news about their newly advanced Contras.
The biggest event was about Yang Tianyue, the Little Princess of the Breaking Clan. She was loved dearly by the elders, constantly playing with other children, causing chaos in the clan. However, the elders indulged her and couldn't bring themselves to punish her.
Yang Tianyue showed a talent for spears, training with Yang Podi and Yang Pingan at just five years old. Within a year, her spear skills were commendable, making them question their talent.
The grandfathers were especially pleased. Great-uncle Yang Wushuang adored her, often holding her and praising, "She's definitely a descendant of our Yang family. She'll make our Breaking Clan proud."
Yang Podi and Yang Pingan couldn't help but feel that they were treated unfairly.
Yang Tianyue's martial soul awakening was private, attended only by her family. She awakened the Breaking Soul Spear, and when she tested her spirit power, the crystal was filled with energy.
Innate full soul power—Yang Tianyue was the first in the Breaking Clan's history to have this. Her parents and grandfathers were thrilled, seeing her as the clan's future.
Her grandfathers argued over who would train her, almost coming to blows. They eventually agreed to co-train her. Yang Podi's parents were at a loss, realizing their daughter's education had been taken from them.
Publicly, Yang Tianyue was announced as having a ninth-level spirit power. To maintain this facade, they waited two months to let her absorb a soul ring, escorted by both grandfathers. Even Yang Podi was envious of her treatment.
