Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Yu Xiaogang is here
When the group arrived at Training Ground No. 3, they found it locked from the inside, but judging by the sounds coming from within, someone was training.
Ning Rongrong, unconcerned about formalities, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Teacher Li Xiang opened the door upon seeing Ning Rongrong but looked puzzled when he noticed the others, especially Qin Ming, whom he recognized.
"Miss Rongrong, Teacher Qin Ming, what brings you all here?"
"Teacher Li Xiang, these are our academy's new students. They wanted to visit and observe Team Two's training," Qin Ming explained.
"But our training is always confidential," Li Xiang replied.
Ning Rongrong waved off his concern. "What's there to keep secret? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
After thinking it over, Li Xiang relented and allowed them in. As Ning Rongrong had said, it wouldn't matter as long as no confidential information was involved.
When the Shrek group entered Training Ground No. 3, they were stunned by what they saw.
The originally flat training ground had been transformed into a complex facility, featuring pools, deep pits, barbed wire, and high walls.
Eight individuals were undergoing rigorous training, all carrying significant weights. The training resembled Yu Xiaogang's methods but was far more complex.
While Yu Xiaogang's training involved simply running while carrying rocks, this environment seemed like a wild obstacle course. As the Shrek group imagined themselves in such a setting, they were shocked by the sheer intensity.
Among the trainees, they spotted a familiar figure: the eccentric individual they had met at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, who had easily repelled a Soul King with a single blow.
Yu Xiaogang immediately turned to Li Xiang. "Teacher Li Xiang, do they train like this all the time? How long do they train each day?"
Li Xiang looked at Yu Xiaogang with confusion, wondering, Who are you to ask such direct questions about others' training methods?
Qin Ming quickly intervened to smooth things over. "Teacher Li Xiang, this is one of our new teachers for Team One. He's just curious about Team Two's training methods."
"Does Team Two always train like this?" Qin Ming asked.
Li Xiang, aware of Qin Ming's status and the respect the three Education Committee members held for him, finally replied, "Yes, this is Team Two's routine every afternoon."
"Afternoons? How long do they train each afternoon?"
"Until they're utterly exhausted. Every trainee must push themselves to their limits."
Yu Xiaogang was astonished. He hadn't expected anyone's training methods to resemble his own, let alone surpass them. He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Li Xiang, did you come up with this training method?"
Li Xiang shook his head. "I only assist. All of Team Two's training is devised by their captain."
Yu Xiaogang was surprised. "Their captain? Doesn't Team Two have a teacher leading them?"
"Our team leader is also our captain. I just assist him in managing the team. He's the one who assembled the entire team."
Yu Xiaogang seemed excited by the idea and asked eagerly, "Teacher Li Xiang, could you introduce me to your captain? I'd like to discuss some things with him."
Initially hesitant, Li Xiang glanced at Ning Rongrong, who seemed eager to meet the captain as well. Finally, he agreed to speak with Yang Podi about it.
Yang Podi, in the middle of his training, noticed the group in Training Ground No. 3. He recognized some faces after a moment of thought—it was the Shrek Academy group from the original story. What are they doing at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?
When Teacher Li Xiang approached him, Yang Podi was reluctant to meet the group. However, curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to see what Shrek Academy wanted.
When Yang Podi approached the Shrek group, he addressed Qin Ming directly. "Teacher Qin Ming, may I ask who these people are, and why they've come to Training Ground No. 3?"
Qin Ming looked a bit uncomfortable but answered, "These are our new teachers and students from Team One. They wanted to exchange ideas with you."
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward. "Hello, I'm Yu Xiaogang from Shrek Academy, known in the spirit master world as the Grandmaster. I'm now a teacher for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Team One. I heard your Team Two doesn't have a leader. Could I serve as your team's leader?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "I'm sorry, Teacher Yu Xiaogang. Team Two's leader position is already filled by me. We don't require another leader."
Yu Xiaogang pressed on, "But during tournaments, you'll also be competing. Without a dedicated leader, things might become inconvenient. With my knowledge, I'm confident I can help your team achieve great results."
Yang Podi ignored Yu Xiaogang and turned to Qin Ming. "Teacher Qin Ming, Team Two does not need a leader. Please refrain from interfering with our training."
Inwardly, Yang Podi was unimpressed. Yu Xiaogang, what qualifications do you have? What use is your so-called knowledge to me?
Qin Ming felt awkward at Yang Podi's response, especially since Yu Xiaogang had made such an unreasonable request. In the end, the two sides parted on bad terms, leaving Yu Xiaogang disappointed. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong had already arranged to go shopping with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Yang Podi was planning a trip to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for spirit rings. His mother also needed her ninth spirit ring, so preparations were underway. The expedition would include his father, Yang Zhentian; his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang; Dugu Bo; and his mother, Niu Jinfeng. His grandfather would stay behind to oversee the clan.
Originally, Dugu Bo wasn't part of the plan, but the old man volunteered when he heard it was for Yang Podi's spirit ring.
With three Title Douluo joining the trip, they were confident in securing a suitable spirit ring.
After leaving the training ground, Yu Xiaogang questioned Qin Ming. "Qin Ming, why does Team Two have their captain acting as their leader?"
Qin Ming hesitated but eventually explained, "The person you met is Yang Podi, a member of the Breaking Clan. Six years ago, he joined Heaven Dou Imperial Academy at the age of 12, with a spirit power of 35."
"Six years ago, he formed Team Two himself, recruiting and training all its members."
The Shrek group was shocked. "Twelve years old and already at rank 35? That's impossible! Even with innate full spirit power, it shouldn't be achievable."
Qin Ming smiled bitterly. "I doubted it too, but his entrance was personally tested by a teacher and verified by the crown prince and the three Education Committee members. It can't be fake.
"Moreover, I couldn't sense his current spirit power. He likely uses some treasure to conceal his level. No one knows his true strength now."
Yu Xiaogang muttered, "A genius like this from the Breaking Clan... what a waste."
Yu Xiaogang originally wanted to become the captain of the second team, and then bring Tang San along to lead them. With his knowledge and Tang San's strength, plus the current lineup of the second team, they would surely achieve great results and gain fame.
However, Tang San, who was standing beside him, asked, "What is the Breaking Clan? I've never heard of it before."
Flender then began to explain: "The Breaking Clan is one of the four single attribute families. The four single attribute families include the Breaking Clan, the Power Clan, the Agility Clan, and the Defense Clan. These four families were originally subordinate families of the world's top sect, the Clear Sky Sect. After the Clear Sky Sect's battle with the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect retreated into seclusion, and these four single attribute families left to develop on their own."
"All the soul rings of the single attribute families are chosen from soul beasts of the same attribute. The Breaking Clan has the Breaking Soul Gun as its martial soul, and all of its soul rings are offensive, making them invincible in the same realm."
"The Power Clan's martial soul is the Vigorous Orangutan, all of its soul rings are strength-type. The Defense Clan has the Plate Armored Giant Rhinoceros, which is known as one of the strongest defensive martial souls in the world. The Agility Clan's martial soul is the Sharp-Tailed Swift, known as the fastest martial soul in the world."
"In recent years, the clan leader of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi, has broken through to the Title Douluo rank and is someone that no one dares to provoke in the Tiandou region."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was immediately shocked: "The clan leader of the Breaking Clan broke through to Title Douluo? How is that possible?"
Yu Xiaogang had been at Nuoding Academy for a long time and didn't know much about the soul master world. Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, he understood the difficulty of breaking through to Title Douluo, and he never expected anyone from the Breaking Clan to achieve such a feat.
Flender seemed to understand Yu Xiaogang's thoughts and couldn't help but try to console him: "Xiaogang, our seven little monsters from Shrek Academy are all exceptionally talented and strong. We will definitely win the Soul Master Competition."
But Yu Xiaogang still couldn't accept it. It seemed like there was a direct path to success, but he realized that path had nothing to do with him.
Now, with Yang Podi's background and strength, it seemed he wouldn't be so easy to handle. Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and helplessly shook his head.
At this moment, Yang Podi wasn't concerned with Yu Xiaogang. He was waiting for news from his second grandfather and Duolongbo. Once they confirmed the timing, they could immediately head to the Star Dou Forest.
He did find it a bit strange that Shrek Academy had actually joined the Tiandou Royal Academy. If Sword Douluo saw Xiao Wu and discovered her 100,000-year soul beast identity, it would be interesting.
As for Yu Xiaogang, Yang Podi really didn't want to deal with him. Their first meeting, and Yu Xiaogang was already trying to be the captain of his team. Who gave him such confidence?
In the next few days, Yang Podi continued his training while waiting for news from home.
Meanwhile, it seemed there were some issues with the Shrek Seven joining the Tiandou Royal Academy, even some significant conflicts.
For soul masters, Tiandou Royal Academy could be considered heaven, but for some, it was more like hell, an endless abyss.
