Yang Wudi heard this and a hint of confusion appeared on his face: "Could it be that you've taken a fancy to something else from my Breaking Clan?"
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "The Breaking Clan's mastery of alchemy is unparalleled in the world. Naturally, I admire it greatly."
Yang Wudi's face darkened: "Bold! Alchemy is a secret of my Breaking Clan that is not passed down. Even when the Clear Sky Sect was at its strongest, we never handed it over."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "Senior Yang is overthinking. I'm not interested in your alchemy knowledge. What I'm interested in is your knowledge of medicinal herbs. I believe you should have comprehensive research on medicinal herbs, and that's what I need."
"Of course, I won't take it for free. I have a Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma in my possession. Although it's not a top-tier Immortal Herb, it's still a top-tier spiritual herb. I can exchange it for your knowledge of medicinal herbs. I think you should know the value of the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma; it's definitely much higher than your knowledge of medicinal herbs."
Yang Wudi's mouth twitched when he heard this. Of course, he knew the value of the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma even better, especially since he loved alchemy and yearned for Immortal Herbs. He hadn't expected Yang Xiong to actually have such a rare Immortal Herb.
In fact, for Yang Xiong, it just so happened that he could recognize the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, and the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma happened to have no effect on him.
According to the original work, the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma is the finest of ganoderma lucidum, with the effects of strengthening the foundation, nourishing vitality, and increasing power. In the original work, Yu Xiaogang consumed the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, which not only allowed him to break through the level 29 bottleneck but also enabled him to reach the Titled Douluo level in the future. Its effect was already comparable to an Immortal Herb.
And Yang Wudi had long been stuck in a bottleneck, and had stagnated due to long-term alchemy. His situation was probably somewhat similar to Yu Xiaogang's, and the effect of the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma could just make up for the deficiencies, perhaps allowing him to make further progress in the future.
However, Yang Wudi paused: "Yang Xiong, the conditions you've offered are indeed very good, but a Soul Master must ultimately be based on strength. Even if you are currently backed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, without strength, it's just empty talk."
Yang Xiong said: "That's simple. I heard that the Breaking Clan is skilled in combat. Please select a Soul Master below level 60, and I will fight him."
Yang Wudi's face darkened: "Yang Xiong, you are too arrogant. You are only level 45. Can you really defeat a high-level Soul King? You should know that my Breaking Clan has a pure attack Martial Soul, and the attack power of a Soul King is much stronger than you imagine."
Yang Xiong's face was very casual: "Isn't it just a Soul King? As you said, sometimes strength is what matters. If I didn't have absolutely strong strength, there would be no need for me to come to the Breaking Clan."
Yang Wudi didn't hesitate at this moment and spoke directly to the outside of the door: "Wuwei, come here."
As expected, as Yang Wudi's words fell, a young man who looked about 35 years old walked into the hall. From his appearance and looks, he was somewhat similar to Yang Wudi.
"Yang Xiong, this is my son, Yang Wuwei. As long as you can defeat Wuwei, I can agree to the cooperation you mentioned. Otherwise, just go back. Even without the Aromatic Silk Beauty, I cannot sacrifice the hundreds of people in my Breaking Clan."
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate either and stood up directly, walking towards the center of the hall.
Yang Xiong and Yang Wuwei stood opposite each other. In everyone's eyes, this seemed like a completely unequal match.
Yang Xiong spoke first: "My name is Yang Xiong, a level 45 power attack type Battle Soul Ancestor. Please advise."
Yang Wuwei's face was full of arrogance: "Yang Wuwei, a level 59 power attack type Battle Soul King. Our soul power difference is too great. You need to be careful next. And all of my Soul Breaking Spear skills are pure attack skills."
Yang Xiong smiled: "I almost forgot to mention, I can be a power attack type, or an agility attack type, or even a defense type. You should also be careful."
The two quickly revealed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings. Yang Xiong's entire body instantly turned silver, and at the same time, two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Rings appeared. Yang Wuwei had two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Rings.
Both Yang Wuwei and Yang Wudi were shocked: "A ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring? How is this possible?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "Nothing is impossible in this world. Perhaps there will be even more interesting things in the future."
Yang Wuwei instantly understood that this Soul Ancestor in front of him was definitely not easy to deal with. At least, to be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, his physical quality must have reached the Soul King level.
Yang Wuwei held the Soul Breaking Spear, which was over three meters long, and quickly rushed towards Yang Xiong, completely fearless and charging forward bravely, truly worthy of being from the Breaking Clan.
Yang Xiong's hands were like claws, and he grabbed Yang Wuwei's Soul Breaking Spear head-on. He felt that the Soul Breaking Spear was extremely sharp, and even transmitted a terrifying force, causing his entire body to involuntarily retreat several meters.
From the perspective of strength, although this Yang Wuwei was still only a Soul King, he probably already had the combat power of a Soul Emperor, especially his extremely strong attack power, which was probably not weaker than Qin Ming.
Especially from the perspective of age, Yang Wuwei and Qin Ming should be about the same age. It seems that the Breaking Clan has indeed recuperated well over the years.
Yang Wuwei's combat power was indeed very good. Holding the Soul Breaking Spear in both hands, he attacked faster and faster, his attacks like a fierce storm. In terms of strength, he should indeed be considered the strongest Soul King Yang Xiong had ever seen.
But Yang Xiong's speed was even faster. Even though his hands were faintly aching, he was completely fearless of Yang Wuwei's Soul Breaking Spear.
Especially since Yang Xiong knew that the difference in soul power between the two sides was very large, silver armor immediately appeared on his body, which was the Dark Tortoise Armor.
Everyone was also surprised. Yang Xiong now had a certain reputation outside, and they had even heard that Yang Xiong possessed an External Soul Bone, but seeing it now was a different matter. The defense of this Dark Tortoise Armor was indeed extremely strong.
Yang Wuwei's Soul Ring flashed, and he directly used his First Soul Skill: Quake. The entire Soul Breaking Spear seemed to emit a powerful explosive aura, and his own momentum reached its peak.
Yang Xiong was not afraid at all. He clenched his fists and rushed forward, colliding head-on with the Soul Breaking Spear. This was his Self-Created Soul Skill: Bone Crushing Punch.
Although Yang Wuwei was powerful, this was only his First Soul Skill. With the collision of a punch and a spear, Yang Xiong himself remained motionless, while Yang Wuwei instead took a step back.
Yang Wuwei was also surprised. At least in terms of strength, Yang Xiong was completely not weaker than Yang Wuwei, and in some aspects, he might even be stronger.
Next, the speed of the two was extremely fast. Yang Wuwei kept attacking. In comparison, Yang Xiong's speed and strength were completely not weaker than his, and he even had a slight advantage.
The Soul Breaking Spear was indeed a top-tier Tool Martial Soul, and its attack power was indeed strong enough, but Yang Xiong's reaction was also fast enough, especially since he also mastered the Teleportation skill, launching counterattacks from time to time. The two fought back and forth.
Yang Wuwei released Soul Skills multiple times, but they were all quickly resolved by Yang Xiong with extreme speed. He even used Self-Created Soul Skills to counterattack from time to time. For a while, they seemed evenly matched.
All of the Soul Breaking Spear's Soul Skills were single-word skills, and all of them were attack-type Soul Skills. Especially since Yang Wuwei's combat power was extremely strong, his strength was already not weaker than the Charm Demon of the Spirit Hall team.
After several minutes, Yang Xiong's fourth Soul Ring flashed directly. His muscles immediately began to swell, and even his skin and bones hardened at the same time, making him look even more brave and fearless. This was his Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon Elephant Adamantine Body.
Yang Xiong had been trying his best not to use Soul Skills according to the rules in his main body, but this kind of amplification-type Soul Skill had no specific target, and using it would not make him afraid of being targeted in the future. So, he had gradually started using Soul Skills recently.
After using the Dragon Elephant Adamantine Body, Yang Xiong's strength, attack, and defense were greatly increased, and even his body's endurance was greatly increased. In terms of strength, he could completely suppress Yang Wuwei.
Yang Wuwei felt as if he had been provoked, and also felt an unprecedented humiliation. He, a dignified Soul King, was suppressed by a Soul Ancestor. This was completely unacceptable.
Yang Wuwei's fifth Soul Ring flashed, and an endless black flame immediately emanated from his body. The black flame quickly enveloped the entire Soul Breaking Spear. This was his Fifth Soul Skill: Rupture.
Seeing Yang Wuwei unleash his attack power to the extreme, Yang Xiong was not afraid at all. The Dragon Elephant Adamantine Body greatly increased his body's endurance. He directly condensed a huge golden Rasengan in his right hand and struck towards Yang Wuwei with all his might.
With the full power of both sides, both were sent flying dozens of meters. Yang Xiong's amplification Soul Skill, Dragon Elephant Adamantine Body, might be stronger, but Yang Wuwei also unleashed the power of his Tool Martial Soul to the extreme.
However, in comparison, Yang Xiong could still barely stand, and his body even began to gradually recover, but Yang Wuwei was severely injured by Yang Xiong's Rasengan.
But Yang Wuwei was exceptionally brave. He struggled to get up and wanted to continue fighting Yang Xiong. It could be seen that the Breaking Clan was indeed a fighting clan, and their combat awareness was indeed very strong.
At this time, Yang Wudi spoke: "Enough, Wuwei, you lost this time. Next, just work hard to cultivate and try to get your revenge."
Then Yang Wudi looked at Yang Xiong: "Yang Xiong, your combat power is even stronger than I imagined, especially your special Martial Soul and physical quality. I'm afraid no one within the Soul Emperor level is your opponent."
"I, Yang Wudi, keep my word. My Breaking Clan is willing to go to the Heaven Dou Empire with you, but I hope you won't disappoint me in the future. I don't want things to become too ugly between us then."
Yang Xiong smiled: "I, Yang Xiong, have always kept my word, and there is nothing I want to do that I cannot do. As long as your Breaking Clan follows me, I will definitely not let you suffer any losses."
Immediately after, Yang Xiong directly took out the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma and the Aromatic Silk Beauty from his Soul Tool and used soul power to carry them to Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi looked at these two Immortal Herbs, a hint of struggle in his eyes, and finally smiled bitterly: "Alright, whether it is for me personally or for my Breaking Clan, these two Immortal Herbs are very suitable. Perhaps I really should consider it carefully."
"Yang Xiong, you are taking out these two Immortal Herbs so rashly now. Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "I know Senior Yang's character somewhat, and I also like the style of the Breaking Clan very much. Although you are a bit reclusive and stubborn, you are true warriors and true men. You have always been open and aboveboard in your actions and will never violate your principles for the sake of just two Immortal Herbs."
Yang Wudi then sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who could recognize the style of our Breaking Clan. Forget it, you can rest in my Breaking Clan for half a month. After half a month, we will go to the Heaven Dou Empire with you. I hope this decision of mine is correct."
Yang Xiong nodded twice: "Thank you for Senior Yang's trust. I will definitely not disappoint you."
