"Brother Yang Fan."
"Where are we going now?"
Ever since he returned, this little girl Bai Chenxiang wanted to cling to him.
Not annoying!
She just wanted to learn some experience by following him, trying to make breakthroughs in soul master cultivation.
Little girls...
Always worship those stronger than themselves.
Since he didn't have anything important today, he simply brought her along.
"To buy medicine."
This time returning to the sect, he estimated he probably wouldn't go out training for a long time.
Perfect!
He could take this time to improve his alchemy skills.
Yao Lao had said: An excellent alchemist is fed by pills.
"Buy medicine?"
"Just to buy medicine?"
Whether in tone or expression, Bai Chenxiang showed her disappointment.
"What's wrong with buying medicine?"
"Walking is also a form of cultivation."
Bai Chenxiang looked puzzled, then stared at Yang Fan with eyes that seemed to say: Liar! What kind of cultivation is walking?
"You've always wanted to speed up your cultivation speed, so today I'll teach you."
At these words...
Bai Chenxiang's two ears almost perked up like a rabbit's.
"Follow me!"
"Circulate your soul power down to your legs, then release it with every step you take..."
Soul master cultivation besides meditation also had this method of soul power consumption and regeneration.
Of course!
The latter was more effective under heavy pressure, with the best manifestation being combat.
"Brother Yang Fan."
"So you were cultivating even when you walked normally. No wonder you became so strong."
Bai Chenxiang felt she had learned an ultimate secret technique, but soon realized the drawbacks of this cultivation method.
"If I cultivate like this every day, what if I encounter trouble?"
Soul master attack methods were actually very simple.
Soul skills were the gun, soul power was the bullet!
If you wasted all your 'bullets' normally, then when danger came, you might not be able to release even one soul skill.
"You don't go out adventuring, what danger is there in the family?"
Bai Chenxiang was right!
In the Douluo Continent's world where the weak are prey to the strong, few soul masters would let their soul power flow away for no reason, especially those wandering soul masters without sect background.
He dared to do so because he had a Yao Lao he could trust one hundred percent.
"Practice!"
No cultivation method could complete transformation overnight. He had also slowly achieved results through accumulated daily effort.
But one had to admit!
With the method Yang Fan taught, Bai Chenxiang's steps became much lighter.
...
Arriving at the medicine shop.
Yang Fan ran into two familiar faces head-on.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters from the Sky Water Academy, though now they should be called people's teachers.
"Yang Fan?!"
"Old friend, long time no see."
Shui Yue'er was still as familiar as before, coming up to put her arm around Yang Fan's shoulder like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
"Hey..."
"Did you find that Bone Spirit Fruit you were looking for?"
Yang Fan nodded slightly.
Sort of!
It was indeed unexpected that Shui Yue'er could still remember he was searching for Bone Spirit Fruit. Speaking of which, he really should thank that Dean Bing from the Sky Water Academy.
"You really are an unpredictable guy."
She had tried to persuade Yang Fan so much back then.
Back then, Dean Bing had said if Yang Fan really went to the Extreme North, he would likely meet a terrible fate. In the end, just as she guessed, he returned completely intact.
"Hey...?"
"Is this your new girlfriend?"
Only now did Shui Yue'er shift her attention to Bai Chenxiang behind him.
Delicate features!
Two small purple pigtails made her even more lively.
The look in Shui Yue'er's eyes as she looked at Yang Fan again changed, seeming to say: Beast! So you like them this young!
"No... this is my sister."
Yang Fan had always treated Bai Chenxiang as a sister of different surname, even more so now after the Speed Clan and Breaking Clan became one.
"You have a sister too?"
For Shui Yue'er who always loved gossip, this could be considered big news.
The few people chatted briefly at the pharmacy entrance before going their separate ways.
"Hey... sis."
"How come I never heard Yang Fan had a sister before? Do you think this is his biological sister or sworn sister?"
Shui Bing'er beside him said impatiently: "Whether biological or sworn, it has nothing to do with you."
...
Herb shop.
When the shop owner saw Yang Fan enter, he immediately went up to greet him with a smiling face.
"Young Master Yang honors us with your presence."
"May I ask what medicinal materials you need this time?"
The medicine shop Yang Fan came to was also quite prestigious in Tian Dou City.
It was said this medicine shop was the property of Prince Xue Xing, and the boss in charge of the shop was himself a noble.
Being able to personally come out to greet at this time was pulling out all the stops.
The reason the medicine shop boss respected Yang Fan so much wasn't just because Yang Fan was the champion of the Soul master Academy Elite Tournament, but also because of the Breaking Clan's rapidly rising status on the Douluo Continent.
Of course!
More importantly, it was because Yang Fan was the shop's old customer, and also the biggest one.
Just this point was enough to make the medicine shop boss run around tirelessly.
"Boss Wang."
"These are the medicinal materials I need this time."
Yang Fan handed the pill formula he had written in advance to the medicine shop boss.
Densely packed... dozens of medicinal ingredients in total.
"Ice Fire Fruit, Blood Python Branch, Cyan Nether Fruit..."
Just a simple glance made the medicine shop boss's scalp tingle.
"The medicinal materials you want are all extremely precious."
Yang Fan smiled slightly.
Did that need saying?
The medicinal materials he needed were all for refining Tier-6 pills.
These were just what he thought the largest medicine shop in Tian Dou City could find. As for those not easily found, he would need to think of other ways himself.
"Indeed!"
The medicine shop boss suddenly remembered that the Breaking Clan itself was in the alchemy business.
If they were common medicinal materials on the market, they wouldn't need to come here.
"Young Master Yang."
"Most of the medicinal materials on your list, we temporarily don't have here."
"However..."
"I can try to collect them for you as much as possible."
The medicine shop boss knew his capabilities couldn't satisfy Yang Fan's needs, but didn't want to lose this God of Wealth who came to his door because of this.
"Alright!"
"I'll give you a week. I'll come to collect the medicinal materials in a week."
"Then we'll take however much there is."
This result was completely within Yang Fan's expectations, and after reaching an agreement with the medicine shop boss, he paid one million gold spirit coins.
"One million..."
Bai Chenxiang watched one million gold spirit coins being spent so effortlessly, her throat constantly moving.
She had never seen so much money in her life.
Now it was only because of the Breaking Clan's light that life had improved.
In the past...
The entire Speed Clan couldn't produce not just one million gold spirit coins, but even one hundred gold spirit coins.
"This is just the deposit."
Yang Fan estimated that the medicinal materials on his list combined would be worth at least over five million.
He remembered again what Yao Lao often said.
Rather than saying alchemists are fed by medicinal materials, it was better to say they were smashed out by money.
This was also because the Douluo Continent didn't value alchemy.
On the Dou Qi Continent, even a Tier-1 alchemist would have families willing to support them like distinguished guests.
"Brother Yang Fan, what are we going to do now?"
"Go home... cultivate!"
Bai Chenxiang had originally wanted Yang Fan to take her to have a good time in Tian Dou City.
But when she heard the word 'cultivation' come from Yang Fan's mouth, her heart instantly became ashamed.
Yang Fan was already so strong and still thought of cultivating all the time, while she, so weak, was still thinking of playing in Tian Dou City.
She deserved to die!
...
On the other side.
The news that the Breaking Clan's younger generation had fought with Xue Beng and other playboy disciples gave Yang Wudi a headache.
He had said a few days ago that he needed to properly knock down these little brats a peg, but unexpectedly, before he could act, they had already caused trouble.
Beat up Xue Beng?
Was that something you could casually do?
Even if a chick got two punches from those boys in their family, it would probably be beaten out of them.
Most important was Xue Beng's identity.
Prince!
Although it currently looked like the Tian Dou Empire's throne would fall to Xue Qinghe, that didn't mean just anyone could slap Xue Beng twice.
Even if Xue Beng was useless, he was still Emperor Xue Ye's son, still the face of the Tian Dou imperial family.
"Wushuang."
"Where are these boys?"
As soon as the words fell.
Yang Fan suddenly felt the atmosphere around him become wrong.
He abruptly turned around, staring at Yang Wushuang with surprised and angry eyes.
"It really is you!"
At this moment, Yang Wudi realized he had been tricked.
This matter from beginning to end came from Yang Wushuang's mouth, and he was now too focused on the Breaking Clan's development.
Afraid that the family's young people would make irreparable mistakes because of arrogance.
"Big Brother... sorry!"
Yang Wushuang showed his hand.
He also knew he had no need to pretend anymore. Those bastards Gui Mei and Yue Guan had already prepared for his exposure when they had him lure Yang Wudi out from the family.
"Bastard!"
"Have you forgotten how many clan members Spirit Hall killed?"
"And now you've actually become Spirit Hall's running dog!"
Although Yang Wudi had prepared himself psychologically for Yang Wushuang being a traitor, when Yang Wushuang truly exposed himself, his heart was still as if eroded by ten-thousand-year cold poison.
With that!
Yang Wudi's aura suddenly erupted, and his eagle-claw-like palm grabbed toward Yang Wushuang.
Though Yang Wushuang was prepared early, a Soul Douluo was simply not worth mentioning before a Super Douluo.
With just one palm, Yang Wushuang was sent flying a hundred meters away.
And this was under the premise that Yang Wudi didn't use lethal force. Otherwise, this palm could have made Yang Wushuang die on the spot.
Wa—
Yang Wushuang's body crashed heavily to the ground, followed by a mouthful of old blood spurting out.
"Bastard!"
"How long are you going to keep hiding?"
Yang Wushuang was so angry he cursed out loud.
Spirit Hall let him return to the Breaking Clan as a spy.
He did it!
They had him lure Yang Wudi away from the Breaking Clan.
He did that too!
Now he had been beaten half-dead by Yang Wudi, yet these bastards were still watching from the shadows.
At this moment...
A ghost shadow suddenly moved along the ground, and golden chrysanthemums began to fall from the sky at the same time.
Yang Wudi didn't even need to guess who had come.
Just as Gui Mei and Yue Guan launched their attack, Yang Wudi's nine rings were displayed.
His long spear suddenly stabbed out a fierce spear toward the ghost shadow on the ground.
"Not good!"
A great roar suddenly came from within the ghost shadow.
When Gui Mei and Yue Guan saw the red soul ring with three patterns on Yang Wudi's body, they knew Yang Wushuang's message was true.
Yang Wudi had really become a Super Douluo!
Facing the lightning-fast spear Yang Wudi stabbed out, Gui Mei instinctively tried to dodge.
But his speed was too fast...
Under the lightning-like speed, his change of direction was still half a beat slow.
Gui Mei suffered a slash from the Soul BreakingSpear across his abdomen because he couldn't dodge in time.
At this moment!
Gui Mei, of whom only the ghost shadow was seen but not the true body, appeared.
Looking at the ten-centimeter-long wound on his abdomen, his heart couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Just a little more and he would have been pierced through by the Soul BreakingSpear, unable to see tomorrow's sun.
"Yang Wudi."
"I never thought you old thing really became a Titled Douluo."
The curse of the Soul BreakingSpear soul masters wasn't a secret on the Douluo Continent.
Precisely because of this!
So in the past, basically no one took the Breaking Clan seriously.
But now it was completely different.
The Breaking Clan's curse being broken also meant it might break the ecological balance of the Douluo Continent.
Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
A seven-layer pagoda was already heaven-defying enough. If it reached nine layers...
Yue Guan and Gui Mei sandwiched Yang Wudi from front and back.
"Old Ghost!"
"Be careful."
"This old thing is now completely different from before."
Seeing the Soul BreakingSpear in Yang Wudi's hand, Yue Guan couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in his heart.
The soul master world accepted that the strongest attack martial soul was Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, but that was because Yang Wudi hadn't become a Titled Douluo.
Now with a purely attack-focused Titled Douluo before him, the title of strongest attack martial soul on the Douluo Continent might really need to change hands.
"Old Chrysanthemum."
"Let's attack together."
Yang Wudi's lightning-fast spear just now had let Gui Mei experience the terrifying attack of the Soul BreakingSpear.
Though he didn't want to admit it!
But with their two Level 95 strengths, neither of them alone facing Yang Wudi would be a match.
At this moment...
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, both reading the next decision in each other's eyes.
Mind as one!
Both showed Level 95 Titled Douluo speed at this moment, rushing toward each other from two directions, while the nine soul rings on their bodies all flashed at the same time.
"Spirit Fusion Technique!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Spirit Fusion Technique wasn't a secret on the Douluo Continent. One could say the two of them sat firmly in Spirit Hall precisely because of this powerful Spirit Fusion Technique.
Yang Wudi was very clear.
Once the two of them executed their Spirit Fusion Technique, even with his current Level 96 strength, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage.
"Break!"
Yang Wudi executed his fifth soul skill, and a circle of black flames suddenly rose from around his body.
