Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

After Tang San finished his conversation with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, he returned to his room alone and began contemplating.

Tang San was now thirty-nine years old, with spirit power at level sixty-six, similar to his level in the original novel (excluding the spirit power increase from the hundred-thousand-year spirit rings and spirit bones).

Tang San carefully reflected on his growth over the years. His greatest advantage over others of the same age was his innate full spirit power, along with the crystal blood dragon ginseng he consumed in the past. However, now that Tang San was close to becoming a Spirit Saint, the effects of the crystal blood dragon ginseng had been fully absorbed, and his cultivation speed was likely to slow down in the future.

Tang San couldn't help but recall the Earth Origin Fruit that Yang Wudi had taken out, as well as the mention by Yang Podi during the Spirit Master Tournament about consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Based on Tang San's own observations, several of the immortal herbs mentioned in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had already appeared on the Douluo Continent.

Notably, the Breaking Clan had produced five Titled Douluo in just twenty years, especially Yang Podi, who became a Titled Douluo at the age of twenty-four. This indicated that the Breaking Clan had likely obtained numerous immortal herbs.

To put this into perspective, Tai tan and Bai He, who were comparable to Yang Wudi and Niu Gao in terms of talent and status, were now only at the Spirit Douluo level. Moreover, their spirit power hadn't grown in recent years, showing that they had reached the limits of their potential.

After much deliberation, Tang San decided to investigate Heavenly Academy at night to uncover its secrets. Even if he were discovered, with the high-end strength of the Upper Three Sects behind him, it wouldn't be a big issue. He might even use this opportunity to pressure the Breaking Clan.

Tang San always believed that the members of Heavenly Academy should have been subordinate to the Clear Sky Sect and part of his sphere of influence. Although the Clear Sky Sect was in the wrong in the past, without the Clear Sky Sect, the Breaking Clan wouldn't have its current standing.

After all, the Speed Clan and the Strength Clan, who were also abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect back then, had both returned to the sect. It was only logical for the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan to do the same. (A/N In the original story, Tang San's efforts to recruit the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan likely stemmed from this mentality. Otherwise, why didn't Tang San attempt to recruit other Spirit Douluo-level clans?)

After organizing his thoughts, Tang San found an excuse to leave Monet City. He changed into a set of black clothes and quietly disappeared into the night.

Monet City was very close to Heavenly Academy. In less than half an hour, Tang San reached the foot of the mountain.

The area at the foot of Heavenly Academy was merely an ordinary spirit master academy, so security was relatively lax. For someone of Tang San's level as a Spirit Emperor, it was effortless to sneak past.

Especially since Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Although it hadn't undergone a second awakening, it gave him an extraordinary sense of nearby Blue Silver Grass, allowing him to detect people and danger from a great distance.

After avoiding several patrols, Tang San reached the mountainside, the main activity area of Heavenly Academy. Aside from a few core disciples and high-ranking officials, most of the members of the four great clans resided here. The mountainside resembled a small city.

The defenses on the mountainside were much tighter, with a city wall over thirty meters tall. Patrols of spirit masters and various defensive weapons were stationed on the wall.

Using the cover of night, his Blue Silver Grass detection, and his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track technique, Tang San moved as if invisible, avoiding detection effortlessly. His mastery of the Mysterious Heaven Skill had reached a high level, allowing him to hide his spirit power, making it difficult even for Spirit Saints to notice him.

Upon reaching the city wall, Tang San observed the defensive facilities and was intrigued.

Ever since the blueprints for hidden weapons were leaked, many sects had created a large number of Zhuge Divine Crossbows for defense and ambushes. Yet, Heavenly Academy hadn't made these. Instead, they used other equipment, including ballistae and crossbow carts. Compared to the Zhuge Divine Crossbows, these were much larger; the largest ballistae were the size of small houses.

However, as an expert in hidden weaponry, Tang San quickly discerned the purpose of these weapons. While they lacked the portability and concealment of Zhuge Divine Crossbows, they were better suited for defending a city due to their greater power. Some of the crossbow carts even resembled improved versions of the Zhuge Divine Crossbows, offering more strength and lower production costs, as they didn't require precious metals.

After carefully studying these defensive devices, Tang San grew increasingly wary. Heavenly Academy's depth far exceeded his expectations. They not only had access to Zhuge Divine Crossbow blueprints but had even improved upon them to create new devices.

Tang San wandered around the mountainside of Heavenly Academy for a long time without making any major discoveries.

The overall strength of Heavenly Academy surpassed his imagination. On the mountainside alone, he spotted two Spirit Douluo and numerous Spirit Saints. In terms of mid-tier strength, Heavenly Academy was even stronger than the current Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Heavenly Academy's training methods also appeared more refined than those established by Yang Podi at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, suggesting better results.

For instance, the weighted obstacle courses were more precisely designed, with more diverse training options suitable for spirit masters of various levels.

Tang San also noticed a variety of training equipment he had never seen before, some of which completely changed his perspective. These tools, designed by Yang Podi based on modern fitness concepts, were unlike anything found in traditional martial sects.

Additionally, Heavenly Academy had large-scale medicinal bath facilities, allowing for efficient resource use and faculty allocation. The academy's operations resembled those of a factory rather than a sect.

Tang San also found many simulation environments tailored for spirit masters, designed to maximize resource utilization.

From his observations, Heavenly Academy resembled a militarized training base for spirit masters rather than an ordinary academy.

Based on his analysis, Tang San noted a few key features of Heavenly Academy:

Firstly, Heavenly Academy was extremely wealthy. Even ordinary spirit masters enjoyed high-quality medicinal baths, a luxury reserved for core disciples in major sects.

Secondly, the academy had an abundance of simulation environments, far surpassing those of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. This suggested that their financial resources rivaled those of the Heaven Dou royal family.

Lastly, Heavenly Academy's education was highly structured and its facilities incredibly advanced. At this rate, the academy's high- and mid-tier spirit masters would see explosive growth within the next twenty to thirty years, potentially surpassing the peak strength of the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Tang San originally estimated that Heavenly Academy had around 1,500 spirit masters, most of whom were low-level. However, with their training and cultivation methods, it was likely that all 1,500 would eventually reach Spirit King level or higher, with many becoming Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo. Their strength would become terrifying.

Tang San couldn't understand how the Breaking Clan, despite being the largest producer of medicinal herbs on the Douluo Continent, had amassed so much wealth. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, known as the richest sect, wouldn't invest so heavily in ordinary disciples.

Most notably, everyone at Heavenly Academy seemed incredibly hardworking. Even late at night, the simulation environments were crowded, a stark contrast to the leisurely attitudes often found in major sects.

What Tang San didn't realize was that this was thanks to Yang Podi, who, after obtaining treasures from the two great clans, implemented a reward system within Heavenly Academy. Various leaderboards ranked individuals based on breakthroughs and combat performance, with top performers receiving rare resources, including medicinal herbs and spirit bones.

Tang San finished exploring the mountainside of Tianxing Academy, growing more interested in their strength. With such formidable power and wealth, if they could be used to develop the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect, it could quickly restore the Clear Sky Sect's status as the number one sect in the world.

At this point, Tang San became even more curious about the academy's core area at the mountaintop. If the mountainside held such surprises, the mountaintop would undoubtedly be even more astonishing.

But Tang San also knew very well that the mountaintop area would likely be exceptionally difficult to explore. After all, there were five Title Douluo there, and the number of Soul Douluo and Soul Saints would likely be even higher. A small mistake could easily result in being caught.

However, Tang San was bold and skilled, or perhaps more accurately, he was even more interested and excited about exploring the secrets of the sect.

It is known that in the original work, Tang San, as just an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, managed to find the Heaven Treasure Record of the Tang Sect, which was almost unbelievable. After coming to Douluo Continent, he had also explored Gengxin City and the Star Dou Forest, even once infiltrating the Spirit Hall team that was hunting Xiao Wu, and another time tracking the team hunting Da Ming and Er Ming. Every time, he gained a lot.

Tang San seemed unusually excited, but in the end, he calmed down and stealthily moved toward the core area at the top of Heavenly Academy.

However, as soon as Tang San entered the core area of Heavenly Academy, Yang Podi had already noticed the anomaly. As a 98th-level Title Douluo, he could detect even the slightest movement, even if it was just a bug entering the mountain top.

Especially since Tang San had deliberately hidden his aura, but in terms of the Mystrious Heaven Technique, Yang Podi's cultivation realm was far higher than Tang San's, so how could he not detect the exploration of a mere Soul Emperor?

Not to mention Tang San, even the hidden movements of Ghost Douluo, which Sword Douluo and Tang Xiao failed to detect, were easily noticed by Yang Podi.

However, Yang Podi did not raise the alarm for now. He wanted to see what Tang San was up to. At the same time, he also wanted to check the internal defenses of the family. If Tang San was not detected and was allowed to leave unharmed, it would mean that major reforms were needed within the academy. Otherwise, it would be easy for enemies to take everything.

After Tang San entered the mountaintop, he became especially cautious. He mainly walked through areas with Blue Silver Grass, using it to mask his aura.

Looking at the original work, there is no doubt about Tang San's infiltration abilities; his thieving actions also align with his usual character.
