Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 107 The Reason Luo Sanpao Farted

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Yang Ping'an simply smiled and asked, "Mr. Yu Xiaogang, do you often feed your martial spirit white radishes?"

Without a second thought, Yu Xiaogang said, "That's right. If my martial soul, Luo Sanpao, doesn't eat white radish, the power of its farts is too weak to achieve the effect of a soul skill."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really sorry, my martial soul, the Purple-Gold Mastiff, sometimes gets hungry, but apart from what it likes, I never feed it anything. Even if its soul skill isn't powerful enough, I've never thought of feeding it white radishes."

Yu Xiaogang looked puzzled: "What could be the reason for this?"

The people around were also puzzled. Could it be that eating alone could affect one's soul skills or even the growth of one's martial soul?

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "Actually, those of us who study martial spirits should be quite clear that normal martial spirits have their own thoughts, which means that martial spirits are actually alive."

"Moreover, both Luo Sanpao and the Purple Gold Mastiff are actually Golden Sacred Dragons that have not fully evolved. When it comes to absorbing Soul Rings or nourishing Martial Souls, the most important thing is definitely their attributes."

"The Golden Sacred Dragon possesses the bloodline of the dragon race, as well as extremely strong metal and light attributes. Since I cannot increase its dragon bloodline, I can only develop its metal and light attributes. Therefore, I only allow the Purple Gold Mastiff to eat the meat of metal-attribute soul beasts. I will not feed it anything else, even if it is really hungry. I would rather use my soul power to nourish it than let it eat white radishes."

"Besides being a wood element, white radish has no other useful effects. It's probably because you made Luo Sanpao eat white radish for a long time that he has a lot of impurities in his body, which even pollutes his bloodline. In the end, all he can do is fart."

After Yang Ping'an finished explaining everything, Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. He had been feeding Luo Sanpao white radishes all along without considering Luo Sanpao's own preferences or whether he only wanted to eat when he was hungry. In a sense, he had wasted the potential of Luo Sanpao's martial soul.

The people around suddenly realized what was happening, especially Yu Luomian, whose face turned somewhat gloomy.

In Yu Luomian's eyes, Yang Ping'an had a very thorough understanding of dragon-type martial souls. If he were brought back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, his knowledge might make the clan stronger. Especially in recent years, it has been difficult to find lightning-attribute soul beasts, and the clan has been trying to change its approach. This has led many disciples to start choosing strength-type soul rings.

However, this is a special time, with countless eyes focused on the Soul Master Competition. The competition committee is also intricately divided. Faced with such a talent, they probably won't let him take him away easily. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family wouldn't miss such a talent, not to mention Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall is also eyeing him covetously.

Even the Dragon King and Snake Queen wouldn't be easy for him, since their strength was superior to his own.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, since you have such a deep understanding of Luo Sanpao's martial soul, you must know a way to help me continue cultivating."

The people around him immediately looked at Yu Xiaogang with a hint of disdain. Yu Luomian, in particular, felt a little ashamed when he heard this. His nephew was known as a master, but now he had to rely on the family's power to force others to help him. Was that nickname really just for show?

A hint of resentment appeared on Yang Ping'an's face. He glanced back at the crowd around him. Yu Luomian's expression was calm, while Tang San, Yu Tianheng, and the others stood quietly beside Yu Xiaogang, not finding anything wrong with what Yu Xiaogang had said.

The members of the Beast Academy all looked somewhat unwilling, and remained silent in the middle of the night.

Then, Meng Yiran, the youngest among them, suddenly spoke up: "How can you be like this? Don't you call yourself a master? Shouldn't you be finding your own way to break through your own problems?"

Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with urgency, as if he no longer cared about what others were saying, while Yu Luomian's face showed a trace of embarrassment again.

Only then did Master Long speak calmly: "Brother Yu, my granddaughter is just being childish and speaking without thinking. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Before anyone else could speak, Long Gong continued calmly, "However, I think what my family said is still quite right. Soul Masters still have to rely on themselves, after all, everyone has a different path."

Yu Luomian was somewhat speechless with anger upon hearing this. Although Long Gong hadn't explicitly said anything, his words were full of disdain and sarcasm. He could only smile and say, "Brother Long, you're being too modest. Soul Masters still need to exchange ideas with each other; otherwise, wouldn't that be a bit like being closed off from the world?"

"Xiaogang, is there anything else you want to ask besides this?"

Upon hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang realized he had been too hasty. He paused, forcing himself to calm down, and asked, "Thank you, Second Uncle. Yang Ping'an, how should a Soul Master with a Dragon-type Martial Soul improve if they hit a bottleneck?"

If it were just a problem for Yu Xiaogang himself, Yu Luomian might have been more mindful of his seniority and not interfered too much. But now it's probably a problem for everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and even he himself wants to ask about it.

As for the others, they all seemed to understand the importance of this issue to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and remained silent. After all, the three great sects were not so easy to provoke.

Yang Ping'an thought for a while before speaking: "Actually, if we are stuck in a bottleneck, it is either because our innate soul power is insufficient, or because our martial soul itself has undergone malignant mutation. But in the final analysis, it is all because our bloodline is not strong enough."

"If we train our bodies to absorb high-age soul rings, that's one way, or we can use external objects to forcibly enhance our body's dragon attribute. However, if we use external objects, the requirements are extremely high."

"Either rare and precious materials with dragon attributes, or a large amount of dragon-attribute soul beast meat, or dragon-attribute soul bones, all three methods should be acceptable."

Everyone present nodded in agreement upon hearing this, confirming that these three methods were indeed theoretically feasible.

But Yang Ping'an's next words greatly disappointed Yu Xiaogang: "However, Mr. Yu Xiaogang, judging from your physical condition, I'm afraid you haven't been training much over the years, and your physical condition is relatively poor. Even if you use my method to forcibly increase your soul power, I'm afraid you won't be able to absorb your third soul ring across levels."

"Without the modification of your body by the soul power in the soul ring, even if you can break through the level 29 bottleneck through external means, you will still be stuck in the bottleneck when you reach level 39."
