After a full two days, Zhao Wuji and Oscar finally made up their minds. Both decided to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Yang Xiong.
In fact, there was nothing difficult about the choice. Yang Xiong treated both of them as good friends and gave them the best options. This wasn't just about treatment; it was more about their future prospects and how much importance they would be given.
As Yang Xiong expected, at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they could only be teachers or students, with no special treatment, and no one would go all out to cultivate them. After leaving with Yang Xiong, their future paths would be clearer, especially for Zhao Wuji, whose last two Soul Rings were very difficult to obtain.
Flander didn't think too much about the plans of these two. Flander and Zhao Wuji had been friends for decades. Coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time, Flander had actually planned to find a future for all the teachers. Leaving with Yang Xiong might be the best choice.
As for Oscar, a food-type Soul Master, neither Flander nor Yu Xiaogang had experience cultivating him into a strong individual. Leaving with Yang Xiong might allow him to show better value.
At this point, basically everyone from the original Shrek Academy had dispersed. Tang San and Xiao Wu left directly, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing planned to go out for training, and Yang Xiong took Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhao Wuji. Now only Ma Hongjun was left.
Ma Hongjun was only a Soul Ancestor now. He hadn't made up his mind to go out for training yet and planned to continue studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He was also Flander's only student.
In addition, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, who joined the Shrek team later, also planned to leave. Both were over twenty years old and had no chance to participate in the next Soul Master Competition. They had already planned to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
The Shi Family brothers also left the team. Both were now Soul Ancestors and over twenty years old, so there was no great need to stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Finally, among all the team members, only Ye Lingling and Ma Hongjun remained at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Both could still participate in the next Soul Master Competition and were highly valued by Yu Xiaogang. It was estimated that a new team would be organized with the two of them as the core.
On this day, under Yang Xiong's leadership, Oscar, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Shuang returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect together. Qin Shuang was originally arranged by Yang Xiong to come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so she naturally left with Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong.
When the four returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was clearly very attentive, personally meeting with Zhao Wuji and Oscar. Although both were just Yang Xiong's friends and had not joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it did not prevent Ning Fengzhi from valuing them. He directly arranged the highest specifications, giving both of them a small villa in the Inner Sect, directly adjacent to Yang Xiong's home.
Yang Xiong brought these two back to his home and also introduced them to his parents and elder brother. Next, his elder brother Yang Wei would be Zhao Wuji's main training target, which made Yang Wei's scalp tingle.
Although his father Yang Lin and mother Sun Yu did not fully understand Yang Xiong's actions, they did not say much. Yang Xiong had been very decisive in his actions since childhood. As Soul Masters, having Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, to teach them would often yield twice the results with half the effort.
After Yang Xiong finished handling everything, he went alone to the core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to see Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were both present, as if they knew Yang Xiong would come to report the situation.
After Ning Fengzhi arranged for Yang Xiong to sit down, he spoke with a smile: "Little Xiong, you went to Shrek for the past two years, and it seems you've grown quite a bit. You're more steady in your actions than before, and you've brought back quite a few things for the Sect. Rong Rong has also grown very well in the past two years. These are all your contributions."
Yang Xiong quickly replied: "Sect Leader, these are all things I should do. However, Oscar and Zhao Wuji both prefer a free and unrestrained life and may not necessarily join the Sect."
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "That's fine. Since they are willing to be with you, it means you have gained their trust. Even if they don't join the Sect, they will always be our friends."
"By the way, what are your plans for them? Will they cultivate in the Sect or do you have other plans?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully for a while: "Sect Leader, I want to obtain my fourth Soul Ring first, and then arrange their next plans. However, Zhao Wuji should stay in the Sect, mainly responsible for the combat training of me and my elder brother. After all, I invited him to be my private combat coach."
"For Oscar and Qin Shuang, I plan to let them go out for training. There is still a lack of real danger in this Sect. With their talent, they can only grow through real tempering. However, I need the Sect Leader to arrange for someone to protect them secretly."
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "I am still confident in Qin Shuang. She does need training. When they go out, I will arrange for someone to follow and protect them secretly."
"By the way, Little Xiong, how did you feel about going to the Spirit Hall this time?"
Yang Xiong, who had been relaxed, suddenly became extremely serious: "Sect Leader, the strength of the Spirit Hall is probably beyond everyone's imagination. This time, they sent out seven Titled Douluo to fight against Tang Hao. Their ambition is probably not small, and we also need to prepare in advance."
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "You do think long-term, but you should know that in terms of both the number of Soul Masters and the number of top experts, we are too far behind the Spirit Hall. This is one of the reasons why I have always maintained good relations with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "Sect Leader, the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for more than ten years, and we probably can't rely on them. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family is in turmoil itself and probably can't protect itself. Perhaps we need some new allies."
Ning Fengzhi immediately became interested: "New allies? Is there anyone who dares to contend with the Spirit Hall now? You should know that the Spirit Hall has been trying to win over those small and medium-sized forces over the years, and their infiltration of the Soul Master world is far beyond your imagination."
Yang Xiong said: "Although the Spirit Hall is powerful, there are also many forces in the Soul Master world that dare to oppose them. This time I go to hunt for Soul Rings, I might also go to the Star Luo Empire. There are some things I need to deal with."
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "That's good. The Star Luo Empire's imperial family is too strong, but there are also many ordinary Sects. Perhaps we can find some help."
...
After everything was discussed, Yang Xiong originally planned to leave, but Bone Douluo, who was standing nearby, snorted coldly, "Yang Xiong, come out with me for a moment."
Yang Xiong was also a little surprised, but he could only follow behind Bone Douluo. As for Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, a hint of a strange smile appeared on their faces.
The four quickly arrived at the training field. Bone Douluo looked exceptionally serious. "Yang Xiong, I heard that you claim to be my disciple outside. However, I have never taken any disciples before. Do you know your crime?"
Before Yang Xiong could even speak, Bone Douluo directly released a terrifying power from his body. Yang Xiong felt as if his entire body was under immense pressure, as if his whole body was about to be crushed.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and instantly summoned his martial soul and soul rings. His entire body turned silver, and even the armor on his body appeared.
But Bone Douluo was a top-tier expert at the Titled Douluo level. Even if it was just pressure, it was something Yang Xiong couldn't contend with at this stage.
Yang Xiong felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be crushed, as if a huge force was pressing down on him, forcing him to submit.
However, at this moment, Yang Xiong also felt a bit ruthless inside. Although he had used Bone Douluo's name before, that was just using the name of a senior from the sect as a disciple of the sect. He had never thought there would be any real consequences.
As the pressure grew stronger, Yang Xiong's body began to twist slightly. The pressure gradually increased from that of a Soul Ancestor to that of a Soul King. Even Bone Douluo was a little surprised.
Normally, a Soul Master's body cannot withstand the pressure of their own soul power level. Only some exceptionally outstanding Battle Soul Masters can withstand pressure that matches their body's soul power.
At this moment, Yang Xiong was only at level forty, but the pressure Bone Douluo was exerting on him had already reached level fifty. This was unimaginable among Soul Masters.
But Yang Xiong was never someone who easily admitted defeat, nor was he someone to be slaughtered at will. Yang Xiong's face looked a little serious, and his eyes instantly turned purple. A purple light shot directly from his eyes towards Bone Douluo's head. It was the Purple Demon Eyes.
In terms of the cultivation realm of the Purple Demon Eyes, Yang Xiong was completely on par with Tang San. Not to mention that Yang Xiong's body was his martial soul, and his head was also part of his martial soul, so his mental power was slightly stronger than Tang San's.
Bone Douluo was also startled, but a captivating light emitted from his body. The light beams shot from Yang Xiong's eyes were instantly unable to advance even an inch and eventually dissipated.
"Little fellow, this unyielding character is quite good, but your strength is still too weak."
As Bone Douluo's words fell, the pressure on Yang Xiong's body grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he knelt on one knee, barely able to resist by circulating Tai Chi and deflecting the force. At this time, the pressure on Yang Xiong had already reached level fifty-six.
Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were standing nearby, were a little surprised. Although they had seen Yang Xiong go all out in Spirit Hall, his current performance seemed even stronger than before.
Yang Xiong felt immense pressure on all his bones, and even his hands began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to move involuntarily. It was clear that if the pressure increased further, these two dragon claws would not be able to be hidden.
Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred in Yang Xiong's body. His right hand turned red, and his left hand turned blue. He used all his strength to grab forward with both hands. This was the soul bone skill of the Ice and Fire Dragon Claws: Exploding Dragon Claw.
Even with Bone Douluo's formidable strength, he didn't expect Yang Xiong to suddenly attack at this moment, especially since the power of Yang Xiong's pair of dragon claws was extremely formidable. His right hand was like a raging fire, while his left hand was like cold ice. Under the combined force of these two powers, it was exceptionally swift and powerful.
But Bone Douluo was a top-tier Titled Douluo. His physical quality had reached the peak of the Titled Douluo level, and his strength was even more unfathomable.
Although Yang Xiong suddenly erupted and attacked, Bone Douluo was only slightly surprised. Then, he lightly tapped Yang Xiong's attack. Yang Xiong felt a terrifying force, and his entire body was directly sent flying.
Of course, at this moment, the pressure emanating from Bone Douluo also disappeared.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, on the other hand, were extremely surprised. They stared intently at Yang Xiong's hands. They had seen Yang Xiong fight against Charm Demon with all his strength in Spirit Hall. They didn't expect Yang Xiong to still have reservations, and that he actually had two offensive external soul bones on his hands.
Especially the power of Yang Xiong's attack just now was extremely exaggerated. It actually forced Bone Douluo to make a move. This was definitely not an ordinary attack. One must know that Bone Douluo was proficient in defense, and in terms of defense alone, he was unparalleled in the world. His move just now clearly acknowledged the power of Yang Xiong's attack.
