Chapter 54 Gathering of the Imperial Clan
Chapter 54 Gathering of the Imperial Clan
Since his marksmanship contest with his father, Yang Zhentian, Yang Podi has frequently challenged his father to a duel, which has not only honed his skills but also enhanced his combat experience.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Podi officially turned 12.
At this time, Yang Podi's soul power had reached level 34. The reason why he was able to increase two levels in half a year was partly because the Golden Crocodile King's soul ring made him reach level 32 and he also had a certain amount of excess soul power. The other reason was that he had fought against his father many times in the past six months, and it was indeed easier to improve in actual combat.
As for his height, Yang Podi has now reached 1.7 meters, which is half a head taller than his peers. He looks a bit broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. If it weren't for his slightly immature face, people would think he was an adult if he wore a mask.
Since absorbing his third spirit ring, Yang Podi's strength has surged again, and he has also used more precious metals to carry his weight, which has increased considerably.
His wrist guards, each supporting 20 kilograms, and his chest armor, supporting 50 kilograms, brought his total load to 130 kilograms. This is incredibly impressive in terms of strength.
However, Yang Podi always felt he was lacking, especially in terms of agility, feeling that it couldn't keep up with his strength. Recently, he had been thinking of ways to improve his agility and balance. He had already figured out a method, and he figured he could also forge some tools while he was in Tiandou City.
My younger brother Yang Ping'an's soul power has reached level 26, and I estimate he will reach level 27 soon.
My dad and my two grandfathers' soul power remained unchanged, but my mom finally broke through to level 80 and reached level 81 after obtaining a soul ring.
Yang Podi also understands that his combat experience is relatively lacking, and plans to train at the Great Soul Arena for a period of time in the near future.
However, the plan may have to be postponed for a while.
Since the four single-attribute families moved to Tiandou City, the patriarchs of the four families have agreed to meet once a year, which is much more frequent than in the original story.
In the original Douluo Continent novel, the four single-attribute families agreed to meet once every four years, mainly because they were too far apart. Even the three major families within the Star Luo Empire were quite far away. The Power Clan, on the other hand, lived in Heaven Dou City, and the round trip by carriage took a month, which was indeed quite inconvenient.
Currently, the four single-attribute families are very close to each other, while the furthest is the Breaking Clan, which is 40 kilometers away from Tiandou City. The other three families are very close, with a distance of no more than 10 kilometers.
This gathering is at the Royal Clan. My two grandfathers had already agreed that the whole family would go to the Royal Clan for a visit and also exchange ideas with other people.
Yang Podi was initially reluctant to go. He used to be surrounded by four little kids, which he found rather boring. However, now that everyone was 12 years old, they should have something to talk about. Especially since this gathering was at his maternal grandfather's house, it wouldn't be right not to go.
And so, the whole family prepared to go out. The two grandfathers, their own parents, and the three children from the maternal side all went together, along with some direct descendants.
As for the family, with six elders in charge, there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, they have two Soul Douluos with Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Souls and four Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Souls; even if a Title Douluo attacks, they can hold them off for a while.
Of course, these two Soul Douluos have always concealed their true strength, displaying only Soul Saint-level power in public. If any Soul Douluo-level expert dared to attack the Breaking Clan, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
And so the group departed from the Broken Clan in a grand procession, riding in a carriage.
In fact, the two clans' residences were not far apart, only an hour or two by carriage, and they soon arrived at the residence of the Yu clan.
Compared to the Po clan, which is backed by Qingyuan Mountain, the Yu clan is surrounded by a more open area, almost like a small town. It is also named Longxing City, just like in the original work. I wonder if my grandfather had some special quirk.
Entering Longxing City, the city itself is not very large, but it still has a grand presence in every aspect. Both the exterior buildings and the interior houses appear quite magnificent, and the style is rather rugged, somewhat resembling my grandfather's own style.
The roads within the tribe are quite wide, and there's even a small lake and a huge training ground. Tall buildings stand in rows, but they don't feel crowded; instead, they look quite well-proportioned.
Ironically, the interior of the house is quite exquisite, with various decorations arranged very cleverly. Perhaps due to its limited financial resources, none of the decorations appear to be particularly high-end.
In short, it seems impeccable from the inside out, exuding the aura of a sect. No wonder it's the Yu clan, renowned throughout the Douluo Continent for its construction.
As the seven men arrived in the hall, they heard a hearty voice from afar: "Old Goat, why are you so late? We've been drinking for a while now."
In the center of the hall stood a round table, where three people were drinking, each holding a very large cup. These three were Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan; Titan, the patriarch of the Li clan; and Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan.
Niu Gao was tall and imposing, wearing a golden bull horn on his head and the clothes of the Yu clan. His chest muscles were mostly exposed, especially the black hair between his two chests, which made him look particularly rugged. He was incredibly strong and looked like a broad and solid fortress.
Titan was an elderly man with gray hair and beard. His short hair stood upright on his head like steel needles. He was extremely burly, over two meters tall, like a majestic mountain, immovable and giving people a sense of awe without anger. His muscles were particularly exaggerated.
The white crane has a slender body, but it looks very well-proportioned. Its long hair is draped down its back, but the hair is already snow-white, and its face is as rosy as a baby's.
The one who just spoke was his maternal grandfather, Niu Gao.
Niu Gao looked at Yang Podi and the other two: "My little grandson and granddaughter are here. Not bad, my little grandson has grown so much, just like me. Hahaha!"
Yang Wudi quickly interjected, "Old Rhinoceros, what do you mean by 'like you'? This is my grandson, he should be like me."
Before the two could start arguing, Yang Podi quickly led his younger brother Yang Ping'an and younger sister Yang Tianyue to bow to the three of them: "Greetings, Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Baihe, Grandpa Titan."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gao laughed heartily: "Not bad, as expected of my grandson. Now that you're here, you're at home. Don't be so formal." Clearly, Niu Gao had discerned Yang Podi's soul power level.
The white crane beside him smiled and nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with these younger generations.
Titan spoke up: "That's right. I heard from your grandfather that you like to study the way of power. You can come and visit our Power Clan when you have time, and spar with each other."
"Thank you, Grandpa Titan. I will definitely visit you often."
Yang Tianyue, standing to the side, also bowed in a very proper manner, which made everyone laugh happily.
