Chapter 52: Yang Wudi's Shock
In an instant, dozens of wind blades tore through the air and landed precisely on the petrified Thousand-Titan Ant King.
Boom!
The stone statue exploded, and black soul power surged out of the fragments, condensing into a black soul ring that hovered above the scattered rubble.
Even though the ant king had been petrified by Medusa's Gaze, it was still a soul beast. After being shattered by Davis's White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash, it still released a soul ring.
Unfortunately, Davis wasn't lucky this time. Although the soul ring emerged, no soul bone dropped.
> If it had, he would've obtained another 80,000-year-old soul bone!
---
"Roar!"
Seeing their brother fall so easily, the other two Thousand-Titan Ant Kings lost the will to fight and swiftly burrowed underground to escape.
Dugu Bo didn't pursue them.
After all, defeating an 80,000-year-old soul beast wasn't that simple.
Even Dugu Bo had to use 30% of his soul power just to petrify one of them.
Davis also didn't want the Thousand-Titan Ant Kings to die too early. The Thousand-Titan Ant Queen was a power-type soul beast with strong earth attributes, making it an excellent choice for a future soul ring.
His fifth soul ring was already from a 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. For the sixth, he was considering the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger. As for the seventh, he might go with the Thousand-Titan Ant Queen, or perhaps take it even further and pursue the Titan Giant Ape.
---
Once the two remaining ant kings had retreated, Dugu Bo dispersed the surrounding poisonous mist, and Davis approached Yang Wudi and his grandson.
> "Senior Yang Wudi, are you alright?"
> "No problem. Thank you for saving our lives."
Yang Wudi replied calmly, though there was clear confusion in his expression as he looked Davis up and down.
> "Young man, who are you? How do you know my name? Have we met before?"
> "Hahaha, the name of the Breaking Clan's chief, Yang Wudi, is well known.
As the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, I've naturally heard of you.
> I recognized your martial spirit as the Soul-Breaking Spear, and your soul power is at level 75.
It wasn't difficult to guess your identity."
---
Hearing this, Yang Wudi was stunned.
He hadn't expected the young man before him to be the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire!
He quickly bowed in salute.
> "So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Zhen'er, quickly thank His Highness for saving our lives!"
Yang Wudi's tone was extremely respectful, showing no arrogance.
After all, the Breaking Clan currently lived in the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Offending the Crown Prince would bring nothing but trouble.
> "Yang Zhen thanks Your Highness for saving our lives!"
Yang Zhen, his grandson, respectfully bowed and gave thanks.
Davis observed that Yang Zhen's soul power had already broken through level 31, clearly confirming that Yang Wudi had brought him to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his third soul ring.
---
> "Haha, no need to be so formal!"
Davis smiled and then turned his attention fully to Yang Wudi.
> "I've long heard that the chief of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi, is a master of medicine refining. I've always wanted to visit you, but haven't had the chance.
I didn't expect we'd meet here today."
> "Haha, I've admired Your Highness for a long time as well!
In recent years, the Star Luo Empire has grown increasingly powerful—even the Spirit Hall doesn't dare underestimate it.
The people say the Empire's strength is thanks to Your Highness's efforts.
And I've heard that Your Highness is the most talented genius in the Empire.
After seeing you today, I believe it!"
Yang Wudi wasn't exaggerating.
He had witnessed Davis's strength firsthand: someone who appeared only a few years older than his grandson, yet had already reached the level of a Soul King—and a powerful one at that.
Such talent was undoubtedly the number one prodigy in the Star Luo Empire.
---
After a few polite exchanges, Davis got straight to the point:
> "Senior Yang, you are known for your expertise in refining medicines and identifying herbs.
Coincidentally, I recently acquired many rare herbs.
Could I trouble you to help me refine a few of them into pills?"
Without waiting for a response, Davis took out several herbs from his soul guide ring.
Among them were:
Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid
Qiluo Tulip
Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma
And several others that even Davis couldn't identify
These unidentified herbs were the most troubling. Even though he was now immune to all poisons, he didn't dare eat them carelessly—what if one of them harmed his body?
Since Yang Wudi could identify even the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product, then he likely knew the others as well.
---
As soon as the herbs were presented, Yang Wudi's eyes widened with shock.
> "This is… the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid! A legendary herb that strengthens the body and nourishes vitality.
I thought it was only fictional, but it really exists!"
> "And this… the Qiluo Tulip—the king of all plants!
It's even more beautiful than the books described…"
> "The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma!
While not as rare as the other two, it's still a top-tier herb.
Incredible… there are so many of them!"
> "And these—Fire Dragon Grass, Ice Phoenix Flower, Dragon Snake Grass, Gengjin Fruit, Dark Night Rose…
I can't believe I'm seeing all the herbs from the Illustrated Guide of Immortal Herbs with my own eyes.
Heaven has truly favored me!"
Yang Wudi was overcome with emotion, nearly to the point of tears.
Originally, he thought Davis had just stumbled upon the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product by luck.
But now, it seemed clear—Davis had found a genuine treasure trove.
---
Seeing Yang Wudi's awe and excitement, Davis smiled subtly.
> "This is in the bag."
> "Senior, you truly are a master of alchemy—you clearly have deep love for immortal herbs.
I still have many more herbs like the Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma.
If you like them, I'd be happy to gift you some.
> I only hope you can help me refine these herbs—like the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma—into pills."
These herbs were gentle and nourishing, ideal for middle-aged and elderly soul masters.
There was only one Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, so Davis intended to have it made into a pill to give to his parents and grandparents.
Especially his grandfather Dai Tianxing and grandmother Zhu Lingyun, who were both peak-level Soul Douluo at level 89.
With this pill, they might finally break through to the Title Douluo realm.
Refining the medicine was also a way to strengthen ties with the Breaking Clan, helping Davis recruit them in the future.
It was a perfect strategy.
---
Faced with this treasure trove of herbs, Davis's goodwill, and his act of saving their lives, Yang Wudi naturally had no reason to refuse.
He smiled.
> "Alright! Your Highness saved our lives—I'll do all I can in return.
Please, come with me to the Breaking Clan's settlement."
> "Haha, of course!"
Davis agreed happily, then turned to Dugu Bo.
> "Senior Dugu, please escort us to Xingyao City!"
Xingyao City was a city within the Star Luo Empire and the current base of the Breaking Clan.
It was located not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and was also close to Longxing City, where the Defense Clan was based—making it easy to maintain ties with the three great clans.
