Chapter 220: Encounter with Chrysanthemum Douluo

Just after Yang Podi and his companions finished their treatments, they each changed into a set of brand-new clothes, preparing to head home.

Ever since Yang Tianyue received the inheritance of the Sea God and obtained the Sea God Trident, Yang Podi always felt it looked odd for a girl to carry the trident around. It resembled more of a fishing spear and was far too conspicuous.

So, Yang Podi casually cut down a ten-thousand-year-old willow tree and crafted a long wooden box for Yang Tianyue. Now, whenever Yang Tianyue goes out, she prefers carrying the trident in the wooden box on her back. It certainly looks better than holding a fishing spear in her hand.

But if the Sea God knew Yang Podi treated the Sea God Trident like a fishing spear, would he be enraged to death?

The six of them moved quickly, heading back to Heavenly Academy.

However, after walking for only half a day, someone suddenly caught up with them from behind, radiating an intense fire attribute.

Yang Podi found it strange: recently, he hadn't provoked anyone. Why was this person coming after them?

He ordered the group to stop. Not long after, a giant flaming eagle flew through the sky toward them. It turned out to be Spirit kite Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

To be honest, Spirit Kite Douluo was quite beautiful, with a total "queen" aura. Especially with her short silver hair and her leather outfit, she perfectly highlighted her figure. In modern times, she could probably captivate countless people.

Yang Podi smiled as he looked at Spirit Kite Douluo. "Senior Spirit Kite Douluo, may I ask why you're chasing us? As far as I know, I don't have any conflicts with the Spirit Hall."

Spirit Kite Douluo shook her head. "I'm not here for you. It's that crazy pervert from our Spirit Hall who wants to see you. He wants you and your little friends to have a talk with him."

Yang Podi thought about it carefully. The "crazy pervert" Spirit Kite ouluo mentioned was likely Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo probably suffered a significant loss in the Star Dou Forest and might still be severely injured. Chances are, he wanted Ye Lingling to help with healing.

Yang Podi was also curious about the Spirit Hall's current situation, particularly their results in the Star Dou Forest, as it would impact future actions.

With that, Yang Podi used his soul power to envelop the other five, and with a flicker, the six of them instantly appeared on the flaming eagle's back in the sky. "Senior, please lead the way."

Spirit kite Douluo's eyes widened slightly in surprise when she saw the six of them instantly appear beside her without her even noticing. A trace of caution appeared in her gaze. But in the end, she nodded and guided the flaming eagle to fly swiftly.

In less than a few minutes, they reached a hidden cave. It was clear that this place had been camouflaged and set up, making it almost impossible for outsiders to detect.

Yang Podi didn't bother worrying about any potential danger. He led the other five and followed Sprite kite Douluo into the cave. Inside, the scene was rather miserable.

About a dozen people were present, including Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the Golden Generation trio—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—whom they had encountered during the soul master tournament. In addition, there were five Soul Sages.

Among them, except for the two healing-type Soul Sages, everyone else was seriously injured. Judging by their wounds, it seemed they had been inflicted by Extreme Gold.

Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh. "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, Senior Ghost Douluo, I didn't expect experts like you to get injured. Who managed to hurt you all?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared a bit frustrated as he spoke. "Little Podi, let's skip the chit-chat. Have your little girlfriend help us heal first. This time, we've had quite the mishap."

Yang Podi shook his head. "Healing isn't a problem, but shouldn't we discuss the treatment fees first? It wouldn't be fair to do it for free, right?"

"Hah, you brat! You dare talk about treatment fees with us? We've been nothing but kind to you, even secretly helping you out more than once."

"Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, that's not how it works. Your Spirit Hall is wealthy and resourceful, with healing-type Soul Sages aplenty. Our Heavenly Academy, on the other hand, only has Lingling as an advanced healer, and she's busy with academy affairs. If there's no compensation, we'll just take our leave and not interfere with your healing."

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked even more frustrated. "What kind of compensation do you want, you little brat?"

Yang Podi smiled faintly. "Just two small conditions. Agree to them, and Lingling will heal you all immediately."

"What conditions?"

"First, from now on, regardless of the circumstances, the Spirit Hall must acknowledge the independence of Heavenly Academy, and neither side may initiate conflict. Second, the Spirit Hall must not interfere in Grandpa Ye Renxin's life."

After stating his terms, Yang Podi turned to Hu Liena. "Saintess, these are just minor conditions. I believe you can make the decision."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena seemed hesitant. However, before they could respond, Yang Podi continued, "Heavenly Academy has no intention of provoking trouble. This should align perfectly with the Spirit Hall's interests right now. Besides, your injuries can't be treated by anyone but Lingling."

The Spirit Hall group exchanged glances. Finally, Hu Liena spoke. "I can agree to your conditions, but you must also promise not to interfere with the Spirit Hall's actions."

Yang Podi chuckled. "Heavenly Academy has always kept to itself, as we did during your previous operations."

"Lingling, start the treatment."

Ye Lingling understood Yang Podi's intentions and stepped forward to begin treating them. However, she didn't summon her martial soul or spirit rings, using only green light from her hands to handle their injuries.

Meanwhile, Yang Podi and the other five rested nearby, remaining vigilant.

In just one day, the injuries of the eight Spirit Hall members improved significantly. Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but marvel at the results, and even the two healing-type Soul Sages were amazed, praising Ye Lingling's healing methods.

Chrysanthemum Douluo curiously asked Yang Podi, "Little Podi, aren't you interested in knowing how we got injured?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "Judging by your wounds, they were likely inflicted at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest. What's so strange about that?"

Hearing this, the Spirit Hall members were stunned, as if their secrets had been exposed.

Yang Podi simply smiled faintly and took out a petal of a chrysanthemum flower from his soul tool. Evidently, it was a petal from Chrysanthemum Douluo's battle in the Lake of Life.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was puzzled. "Did you also go to the Lake of Life? That place is full of danger. Weren't you afraid of dying?"

Yang Podi smirked and replied, "We weren't there to hunt rabbits, so what's there to fear?"

The Spirit Hall members were shocked. They couldn't believe that their covert operation had been discovered by Yang Podi.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned serious. "Yang Podi, how did you find out about this?"

"Isn't it obvious? Everyone knows that Pope Bibi Dong has twin martial souls. Her second martial soul doesn't have all its spirit rings yet. During the soul master tournament, she failed to capture that rabbit. Now she's sent so many experts to the Star Dou Forest. Naturally, it's to capture that rabbit; otherwise, she would've gone herself."

Yang Podi smiled and continued, "It seems the Spirit Hall treats its Titled Douluos poorly. Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, Senior Ghost Douluo, why don't you come teach at Heavenly Academy? The work is light, the pay is good, and there's free medical care."

The group's faces fell instantly. Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly replied, "Little Podi, stop joking. We're not leaving the Spirit Hall."

"By the way, why did you bring up that condition about Ye Renxin earlier?"

Yang Podi shook his head in disdain and looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo. "Is the Spirit Hall's intelligence really so poor that I have to explain it to you?"

Ghost Douluo coldly interjected, "Ye Renxin treated Tang Hao. Doesn't he know that Tang Hao is our Spirit Hall's enemy?"

"Grandpa Ye is just a doctor. Why would he care about the affiliations of his patients? Besides, you could also seek treatment from him if needed. He has treated many people from Spirit Hall in the past—it's just that you all don't dare to go."

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly tried to defend himself. "Who said we don't dare? It's just that the journey to Heaven Dou City is too far."

"With the deeds your Spirit Hall has done, going to Heaven Dou City risks getting cut into pieces by Sword Douluo and the others. By the way, why haven't you gone back to Spirit Hall for treatment? Why hide in this godforsaken place instead?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.

Yang Podi ignored him and turned to Hu Liena. "Your Highness the Saintess, how about we discuss a deal?"

Hu Liena looked puzzled. "What kind of deal can we make?"

Yang Podi said calmly, "Please convey to Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff that we can collaborate to deal with those three soul beasts. Our Heavenly Academy is willing to send two Title Douluos to assist, but I want that snake."

After saying this, Yang Podi left with his group, leaving the Spirit Hall members in a state of shock.

After a while, Hu Liena finally spoke. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, does Yang Podi have his eyes on the Azure Bull Python? Otherwise, why would he propose such a collaboration? Could it be that Yang Podi has already reached level ninety?"

At this point, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression became serious. "That kid Yang Podi is always hiding his true strength. I honestly don't know his exact soul power level, but I feel like there's more to his proposal than meets the eye."

The others in Spirit Hall remained silent. This matter was beyond their ability to influence.

After leaving, Ye Lingling turned to Yang Podi and said, "Podi, thank you for thinking about my grandfather. I've been quite worried about his situation in Heaven Dou City."

Yang Podi shook his head. "Heaven Dou City is extremely chaotic right now. It's best to persuade Grandpa to come to our Heavenly Academy. Since Grandpa saved Tang Hao, the people from the Clear Sky Clan and Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't harm him. As long as Spirit Hall doesn't intervene, he should be relatively safe for the time being."

"I'll make a trip to Heaven Dou City in a while to try to convince Grandpa to leave that place of trouble."

On the side, Yang Tianyue asked curiously, "Brother, why would you propose a collaboration with Spirit Hall? I feel like they're not trustworthy."

Yang Podi merely smiled. "Spirit Hall indeed isn't trustworthy, especially with Bibi Dong's overwhelming ambition. I'm sure she's already considered those three soul beasts as her private property. How could she possibly collaborate with us?"

Still confused, Yang Tianyue pressed on. "Then why did you even suggest working together?"

Instead of answering, Yang Podi turned to Yang Ping'an. "Ping'an, why don't you tell her why I brought up a collaboration with Spirit Hall?"

Yang Ping'an thought for a moment before responding. "Big Brother has no intention of actually cooperating with them. He likely wants Spirit Hall to believe that Big Brother is particularly interested in the Azure Bull Python. This will push the Supreme Pontiff and her people to act against those three soul beasts, forcing a confrontation. Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses."

Yang Podi's face turned cold as he spoke darkly. "Neither that rabbit nor Spirit Hall will ever be our allies. My suggestion was merely to provoke a clash between them, hoping they'd weaken each other. No matter which side comes out on top, it will work to our advantage."

"A mere Bear Lord isn't much of a threat. What I truly want is for Bibi Dong and her people to test Di Tian's strength. He's the one who will truly be difficult to deal with."
