As the Soul Master competition ended, the teams from the Heaven dou region returned to Heaven dou City with Prince Xue Qinghe and five hundred guards.
As for the soul bones, they were all kept by Yang Podi, and no one knew exactly how they would be distributed. Yang Podi himself was not planning to distribute them yet, and he intended to wait until they returned to the Breaking Clan before making any decisions.
The journey back to Heaven dou City was very safe, and there were no disturbances along the way. Everyone knew that the champion of the Soul Master competition had three high-level soul bones, but no one dared to make a move. After all, there were Title Douluo-level powerhouses in the team, such as Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Poison Douluo. Anyone foolish enough to try to rob them would be courting death.
Upon returning to Heaven dou City, everyone did not head directly to the Heaven dou Royal Academy, but instead went straight to the Heaven dou Imperial Palace.
Inside the palace, Emperor Xue Ye seemed unusually energetic. The Heaven dou Royal Academy had claimed the top two spots in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, a historic achievement.
To welcome all the participating teams, the palace held a grand ceremony, attended by almost all the high-ranking officials of the Heaven dou Empire.
In the end, the participating teams were all granted titles by Emperor Xue Ye. As previously mentioned, the second Heaven dou team would have their titles raised by one level, but what surprised everyone was that Emperor Xue Ye directly granted Yang Podi the title of Marquis. Additionally, because they had won the Soul Master competition, Yang Podi was named the Champion Marquis, with lands in Almo Mountain. Not just the mountain itself, but a surrounding area of nearly three hundred kilometers.
In terms of land size, Yang Podi now possessed the largest fief in the entire Heaven dou Empire. To put it in perspective, even a Kingdom like Balak was only about a thousand kilometers wide, making this fief even larger than the largest kingdoms and some smaller principalities.
Yang Pingan was granted the title of Count, and the other team members were made Viscounts. All of their lands were located near Almo Mountain. Yang Podi became the youngest Marquis, Yang Pingan the youngest Count, and Yang Tianyue the youngest Viscount. Even the substitute players Yang Yuxuan and Niu Kui were granted Viscount titles.
Furthermore, each member was given a mansion in Heaven dou City.
After the ceremony, all members of the second Heaven dou team requested graduation. After some communication, Prince Xue Qinghe agreed. However, although Yang Tianyue had graduated, she was still listed as a student of the Heaven dou level, a precaution for the future, since she was only thirteen years old.
Next, everyone traveled to the Breaking Clan's headquarters.
Inside the Breaking Clan's secret chamber, a number of people had gathered. The older generation included Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Niu Gao, and Poison Douluo. The middle-aged generation included Yang Zhentian, Niu Jin Feng, and Niu Mang. The younger generation included Yang Podi, Yang Pingan, Yang Tianyue, Niu Meng, and Dugu Yan. Ye Lingling was absent for the moment.
Yang Wudi spoke seriously to everyone, "Today's matter is of great importance. None of you can speak of it, or the consequences will be severe."
Seeing that everyone nodded, Yang Wudi turned to Yang Podi and said, "Podi, it's up to you to handle this today."
Yang Podi nodded and took out several items.
The first was the three soul bones obtained from the Soul Master competition. After thinking for a moment, Yang Podi handed the left leg soul bone, which granted rapid flight, to Yang Pingan, saying, "Pingan, your attack power is impressive. This left leg bone should make your attacks even stronger."
Next, Yang Podi handed the right arm soul bone with fiery flames to Niu Meng, "Cousin, this speed-enhancing soul bone is also very suitable for you. Your speed is a bit slow, and although your defense is strong, your attack needs improvement. This fiery soul bone should help increase your attack power."
Afterward, Yang Podi gave the rare 60,000-year-old mental wisdom head soul bone to Yang Tianyue, saying, "Tianyue, your talent is outstanding. With this premium head soul bone, your development will be even better in the future."
Yang Podi looked at Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo and couldn't help but sigh. He then took out a soul bone from his soul tool, the Eight Spider Lances.
He handed it to Dugu Yan, "This is an external soul bone from the 2,000-year-old Human Face Demon Spider. It also has poison attributes, making it a great fit with your Jade Phosphor Serpent. This will greatly enhance your power in the future."
Everyone was stunned upon seeing this soul bone. They never expected Yang Podi to have an external soul bone, and the value of this bone could rival a ten-thousand-year soul bone.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan stared at the soul bone, their gazes full of desire.
Yang Podi interrupted their gaze with a smile, "Grandpa Dugu, this soul bone is for Yan'er, not for you. I hope you won't try to steal it?"
Dugu Bo flushed slightly and angrily responded, "Little rascal, do you think I would steal from my own granddaughter? But you should think carefully, this soul bone's value is enormous. Are you sure you want to give it to Yan'er?"
Yang Podi shook his head, "At the moment, she's the only poison attribute soul master among us. No one else is suitable."
Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Yang Podi spoke again, "The next issue is critical. It concerns the survival of our families, so I ask everyone to keep it a secret."
After saying that, Yang Podi took out several jade boxes and was about to distribute them to those around him.
Before Yang Podi could act, both of his grandfathers grabbed the boxes first and couldn't help but exclaim, "Podi, we knew you had more hidden. Finally, you're willing to reveal it."
Yang Podi looked helplessly at his two grandfathers, "Grandpa, these are for them, not for you."
Grandpa Yang Wudi chuckled, "Who's stealing from whom? I'm not trying to take from the kids; I just want to know what you've hidden."
They opened the first jade box, revealing a plant with a golden fruit at the tip, glowing with mysterious energy.
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang examined it carefully before handing it to Niu Meng, "This is the Vajra Ahart fruit. It's said that consuming it will greatly improve physical strength and grant the power of the Vajra, making your body even more durable and your defense stronger."
Next, they opened another jade box, revealing a huge blood-red spiritual herb that looked extraordinary.
Yang Wudi handed it to Yang Pingan, "This is the Nine-Pill Dragon Mushroom. It's a rare spiritual herb formed from dragon's blood, and it's one of the top-tier herbs. Consuming it will enhance your body's strength and give you a dragon-like quality. This should help improve both your physical attributes and talent."
They opened the next jade box, revealing a dark green bamboo shoot, appearing equally valuable.
Yang Wudi lovingly handed it to Yang Tianyue, "This is the Dark Jade Bamboo. Tianyue, you already have excellent talent. This premium spiritual herb will increase both your soul power and enhance your martial soul, greatly improving your physical attributes as well. It's perfect for you."
Finally, they opened the last jade box to reveal a purple flower with seven different auras emanating from it, particularly a strong poisonous aura that seemed to resemble Dugu Bo's.
Yang Wudi handed it to Dugu Yan, "The Seven Deadly Poison Flower. A premium poison attribute spiritual herb. Consuming it will improve both your martial soul and soul power and greatly enhance your poison attribute. Your martial soul should evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent King, making it the most suitable herb for you."
Dugu Yan eagerly accepted the box, but Dugu Bo seemed slightly displeased, "You little rascal, if you had taken this out sooner, Yan'er wouldn't have had to suffer so much."
Yang Podi shook his head, "This herb is too outstanding. If consumed, it could not only increase soul power but also make martial souls evolve. Yan'er's changes would be too obvious, attracting unwanted attention, especially from those at a bottleneck. They would do anything to get their hands on it."
"For Yan'er's safety, I've been holding onto it all this time. I didn't want to put her in danger."
Everyone understood what Yang Podi meant. Many people had their martial souls mutated and became trapped at a bottleneck, like Yu Xiaogang from Tiandou's first team. If someone like him or his backers learned about the herb's properties, it could attract people like Yu Yuan Zhen or even Bibi Dong, who would stop at nothing to seize it.
For soul masters, evolving their martial soul was nearly everyone's dream.
The next few days were spent with everyone absorbing soul bones and consuming spiritual herbs. Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang personally taught the methods of consuming the herbs, and they were very reluctant to part with them, treating them like treasures.
During the soul bone absorption process, there was an unusual event. When Dugu Yan absorbed the Eight Spider Lances, she suddenly grew eight spider legs from her back, which tore her clothes, exposing her fair skin.
Dugu Bo quickly shielded her and hurriedly handed her clothes to change into.
Once Dugu Yan had changed, Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a touch of anger, "What's wrong with you, little brat? Why give my granddaughter this external soul bone without warning? What are you trying to do?"
"I don't care, you've seen my granddaughter's body now. You'll have to take responsibility for her."
Yang Podi looked speechless, "Grandpa, this isn't my fault. You weren't complaining when you first saw the soul bone."
Dugu Yan hurriedly pulled Dugu Bo's hand, her face flushed, "Grandpa, you can't say that. Podi only gave it to me because he cares about me."
Dugu Bo snorted, "You little rascal, I'll let it go this time because of Yan'er. But I'll settle this with you later."
Yang Podi could only feel helpless. Trying to do something good had ended up with him taking the blame.
Meanwhile, his parents and both grandfathers watched the scene with amused smiles, making Yang Podi wonder what was going on.
The process of absorbing soul bones and spiritual herbs took a full two days, with everyone first absorbing the soul bones, followed by the herbs for better effect.
