Words and images are two entirely different mediums, and Duke was well aware of this. He wasn't discouraged by his mother's evaluation.

"Dad, you should take the immortal herb first. The Nine-Piece Dragon Grass is the best among spirit herbs and possesses dragon attributes. It could even evolve your martial soul and help you break through to Title Douluo level."
"Alright, then I'll take it first."

Yang Zhen Tian thought carefully, and his expression became serious. The father and son sat together to discuss.
"Son, tell me your plan."
"Dad, you should know the value of these immortal herbs. Since we found them, they belong to us, to our family, not to the entire Breaking Clan....
After pondering for a moment, the two began searching in the direction of the source of the poison barrier.
After searching for a while, they indeed saw an area where the poison was thickening, but Yang Podi was only at level 22 and could not withstand it. Moreover, the deeper they went, t...
At this moment, Yang Podi appeared somewhat serious. "Dad, although you might find this unbelievable, I genuinely feel a strong pull towards the Sunset Forest.

Yang Zhentian was a little puzzled, "S...
After his son made the decision, Yang Zhentian finally breathed a sigh of relief. His son's second soul ring was finally settled.

When Yang Podi heard that Dugu Bo had brought his son for treatment, his eyes lit up.

The next day at breakfast, Father brought home a young boy. The boy looked a bit sad, his face pale, likely still immersed in the grief of losing his mother.

Hearing this, Yang Wudi felt a bit puzzled: "Podi, how did you come up with the idea of searching for medicinal herbs in the Sunset Forest?

In response to Yang Wudi's question, Yang Podi pondered for a moment before speaking.

Sure enough, after a while, five people appeared in front of the two.
Judging by their attire, these five were likely "soul masters", consisting of four men and one woman. The leader of the group was an older man, probably in his fifties, while the other three men appeared to be in their e...
After about two hours of travel, Yang Wudi and Yang Podi finally arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest. The outer edge of the forest was home to a small hunting town.

After a period of meditation, Yang Podi finally understood that he did indeed possess a second martial soul, but it could not be fully summoned.
Whenever he meditated, besides the Breaking Soul Spear, his body would exhibit unusual, strange sensations, as if it could operate on its own.
Yang Podi took the book handed to him by his father and began to read carefully. Meditation, in itself, was actually quite simple—every soul master knew how to do it.
Thinking of this, Yang Podi couldn't help but recall Tang San's "Mysterious Heaven Technique". It could be considered an ...
