Chapter 69: Yang Wudi, the Clan Destroyer
Looking at the page of information in his hand, Yu Tianlin read softly,
"Yang Wudi. Martial Soul, Soul Breaking Spear. Rank eighty one, power attack type Spirit Douluo. Former patriarch of the Breaking Clan, one of the four single attribute clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect."
After going through the documents for a while, Yu Tianlin slowly pieced together his memories of Yang Wudi.
In the original story, after Xiao Wu's sacrifice, Tang San wanted to rebuild the Tang Sect on the Douluo Continent. He went to find Titan, patriarch of the Power Clan, and from there the four single attribute clans re entered the stage.
Among the four clan heads, Yang Wudi was the last Spirit Douluo to appear and had the lowest Spirit Power cultivation. Yet in terms of pure combat strength, he was actually the strongest.
Because the Breaking Clan suffered the heaviest losses when they were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, Yang Wudi's hatred toward the Clear Sky Sect was also the deepest among the four patriarchs. When Tang San went to subdue him, he had to fight Yang Wudi head on and only barely managed to win.
After that, Tang San gave him the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. It was this combination of force and benefit that finally brought Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan under the Tang Sect banner.
From this alone, it was clear that Yang Wudi recognized the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. Later in the story, it was also mentioned that he knew about the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Putting all of this together, Yang Wudi was clearly familiar with immortal herbs, and not just one or two. It was very likely he could recognize most of them.
Judging from the information in Yu Tianlin's hands, the Breaking Clan's large scale medicinal trade also showed they had deep research into medicine.
As for Dugu Yan's poison, Yang Wudi should be able to handle it.
In the original story, when Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she secretly poisoned Emperor Xue Ye. Dugu Bo was completely helpless against that mixed poison and could only use poison against poison to barely delay the inevitable.
When he could not hold on any longer, Dugu Bo rushed to Tang San for help. That time, Tang San brought Yang Wudi along with him.
As a result, they ran into Qian Renxue and two Title Douluo, the Serpent Spear and Porcupine, inside the palace, turning it into a three against three confrontation.
Tang San relied on his special techniques, while Qian Renxue also held back somewhat, so the two sides fought to a draw. Dugu Bo, however, was thoroughly suppressed. His opponent happened to be his natural counter, so he was completely on the back foot.
Only Yang Wudi shone in that battle. He faced a Title Douluo alone and fought him to a standstill, never showing weakness.
It was worth noting that in the first part of the original story, Title Douluos were truly terrifying. Aside from the Shrek Seven Devils, who carried the protagonist's halo, almost no one could fight a Title Douluo above their level.
Even powerful martial soul fusion skills like the Golden Sacred Dragon and the Dragon Snake Combination Strike could only barely contend with a Title Douluo.
But Yang Wudi was different. He fought a Title Douluo one on one and held his own. That alone showed how frightening his combat power was.
Later, reinforcements arrived and Tang San and the others successfully rescued Emperor Xue Ye. Afterward, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi worked together to detoxify the emperor.
Although the story said Dugu Bo helped, Yu Tianlin estimated that Dugu Bo had only played a supporting role. If Dugu Bo could have solved that poison on his own, he would have done it long before. In the end, the one who truly resolved the problem should have been Yang Wudi.
If Yang Wudi could handle such a troublesome mixed poison on Emperor Xue Ye, then Dugu Yan's condition would be nothing more than a minor case in comparison.
All he needed to do was find her a suitable Spirit Bone, then use medicine to guide the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom into that Spirit Bone. For someone of Yang Wudi's level, that should not be too difficult.
From every angle, Yang Wudi fully met the conditions Yu Tianlin had in mind.
"It's just that the Breaking Clan is a little far away."
Yu Tianlin sighed.
According to the documents, the Breaking Clan mainly operated in the Star Luo Empire, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory lay in the northwest province of the Heaven Dou Empire. To find Yang Wudi, he would have to cross a national border and half of the continent.
Even so, Yang Wudi was clearly the best option. Yu Tianlin set that page aside on its own, then continued flipping through the rest of the stack to see if there was anyone else who met his requirements.
After reading everything, Yu Tianlin realized that there really was no better candidate than Yang Wudi. In the end, he chose him.
As for the Star Luo Empire being far away, so what? For the sake of immortal herbs, and to cure Dugu Yan's poison, he would go no matter how far it was.
Although Yu Tianlin had already decided to seek out Yang Wudi, now was not the time to set out. First, he needed to finish celebrating his tenth birthday.
Once he made up his mind, Yu Tianlin put away all the materials, walked to the lightning rod, and began his nightly cultivation.
He had to increase the age of his first Spirit Ring as much as possible now. Otherwise, once he headed to the Star Luo Empire, he would not have much time to use lightning to temper it along the way.
Over the next few days, the entire clan busied itself with preparations for Yu Tianlin's tenth birthday celebration. Representatives from several affiliated clans that were on close terms with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan arrived early. After they were settled, Yu Mingfeng took Yu Tianlin to meet each of them.
As the direct grandson of the clan master, maintaining good relationships with the affiliated clans was naturally part of his duty.
Not long after, his eldest brother Yu Tianheng also returned. His timing was perfect, arriving exactly one day before Yu Tianlin's tenth birthday.
On the day of the celebration, crowds filled the clan grounds. Representatives from every major force operating in the northwest province of the Heaven Dou Empire gathered to offer congratulations, making the event extremely lively.
While everyone else was enjoying themselves, Yu Tianlin, as the main character of the banquet, could only sit in his seat and receive wave after wave of unfamiliar guests. He had to smile, respond politely, and exchange greetings with every one of them.
By the time the banquet finally ended, he felt like his face was nearly frozen from smiling.
This kind of thing is actually more exhausting than fighting.
After they finished seeing off the last group of guests, Yu Tianheng walked over with a grin.
"Xiao Lin, how did it feel today?" he asked.
"Exhausting," Yu Tianlin replied weakly. "Much more tiring than a battle."
"Haha, I knew you would say that." Yu Tianheng laughed loudly. "I felt exactly the same when I turned ten."
Yu Tianlin could not help recalling that day four years ago when Yu Tianheng had celebrated his own tenth birthday. At that time, Yu Tianlin had not even turned six, and his Martial Soul had yet to awaken.
He never expected those four years to pass in the blink of an eye.
I am already ten years old. Another four years, and I will be fourteen. I wonder what I will be like by then.
Forget it, no point thinking that far ahead.
"Big brother," Yu Tianlin asked, "now that my tenth birthday is over, when are you planning to return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
"Tomorrow," Yu Tianheng said after thinking for a moment. "I will leave tomorrow. I still have things to take care of over there. What about you, Xiao Lin, do you want to come back with me?"
"I am not going with you."
Yu Tianlin shook his head. For now, he had no intention of returning to Thunder Academy.
