Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 109 attracts Chrysanthemum Douluo's attention.

Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's question, Salas thought for a moment before speaking: "It seems that the training methods of the Beast Academy have changed in the past two years. All these changes seem to have started with a student named Yang Ping'an joining their team."

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly became curious: "Oh, there are such strange people? What information do you have about this Yang Ping'an?"

Salas quickly saved a bunch of information, including information on all the members of the Beast Academy team, as well as detailed information on Yang Ping'an.

Chrysanthemum Douluo carefully reviewed the information of the others. Just as Salas said, none of the team members had shown any particularly outstanding development in the early stages, but in the last two years, they seemed to have made rapid progress, with improvements in both their soul power level and other aspects.

Chrysanthemum Douluo himself has been involved in the external affairs of the Spirit Hall for many years and has hosted the Soul Master Competition countless times. He is naturally very familiar with the growth rate of the students and can see the problems at a glance.

However, when he started reviewing Yang Ping'an's information, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Half-level innate soul power, how is that possible?"

Salas quickly spoke up: "There is absolutely no mistake about the radius of this innate soul power. I even arranged for someone to go to Notting City in the Fasno Province to check. It was awakened by one of our Spirit Hall's deacons."

"Although this person was an orphan, his innate soul power level was too low, so he was not included in our investigation at the time."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, then carefully examined Yang Ping'an's personal history, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

After reading everything, Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed deeply: "Salas, if Yang Ping'an's experience is not fabricated, then you should understand the meaning behind this."

Salas nodded: "Elder Ju, I have been in charge of Heaven Dou City for decades and have never seen a similar growth experience. Normally, a Soul Master's cultivation will only slow down as it progresses, but this Yang Ping'an seems to be the opposite. The further he progresses, the faster his cultivation becomes."

"I have never seen a student with half a level of innate soul power enter an advanced soul master academy. After all, according to the standards of advanced soul master academies, one usually needs to reach level 20 before the age of 15. But Yang Ping'an was able to enter the divine beast class of the Beast Academy, which means that he has reached at least level 30. And if he wants to join their team, his soul power is probably already above level 35."

Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to have thought of something: "Salas, this Yang Ping'an is an orphan, he should be very short of money. When he received his Soul Master subsidy at our Spirit Hall branch, was there any other record?"

Salas shook his head: "The records we found of Yang Ping'an receiving Soul Master subsidies are from a long time ago. We don't know why they gradually stopped. They probably stopped when he was fifteen. After investigation, we found that he must have earned a lot of gold soul coins in the Soul Arena when he was a Great Soul Master. Moreover, he was already a Silver Soul Medal at such a young age."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "According to you, this Yang Ping'an should be quite something; his combat strength is definitely not bad."

Salas hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke again: "Yang Ping'an has always been a member of the Beast Academy team. Although he is on the list of participants, he has not participated in the entire qualifiers, and he hasn't even participated in the qualifying rounds yet."

Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed amused: "That's a bit strange. Logically speaking, Yang Ping'an's individual combat ability should be quite good, and everyone participates in the Soul Master Competition to show off their skills. How can someone like him not participate at all from beginning to end?"

"But if Dragon Lord really wanted to hide him, why would he include him in the competition roster? There seems to be something strange about this, something just doesn't feel right."

Salas simply shook his head: "I don't know about that, but given the Dragon Lord's personality, he probably wouldn't stoop to suppressing a student he trained."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "Although this Dragon Lord is a bit stubborn, he's not the kind of person who's too despicable. He doesn't seem like the type to do something so petty. If you have time, go and call Yang Ping'an over. I'd like to meet this hardworking person."

Salas hesitated for a moment: "Elder Ju, this Dragon Lord has always been dedicated to running schools and has a great reputation in the Soul Master world, but he seems to be at odds with our Spirit Hall. If I go to call for help, I'm afraid he will stop me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand: "Then we'll talk about it later. Tell me about the recent meeting between Jade Luomian and Dragon Duke."

The Spirit Hall can tolerate these Soul Masters running academies and developing their own families, but it absolutely will not allow them to have too close a relationship with the three upper sects. In particular, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny have the combat power of Title Douluo. If they really join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it will probably affect its plans later.

Salas hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Elder Ju, it seems that the meeting between Lord Long and Yu Luomian this time is also related to this Yang Ping'an. My subordinates are too weak to get too close to their conversation. They only know that Yang Ping'an was called over during their conversation."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face showed a strange expression: "This is quite interesting. Yu Luomian's information should not be as strong as ours. Could it be that he was able to discover Yang Ping'an's abnormality in advance?"

Salas looked conflicted, as if he had encountered something difficult to talk about.

Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted coldly: "Salas, just say what you have to say. I'm here now, so don't hold back."

Salas thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "It seems that the meeting between Dragon Lord and Yu Luomian this time is related to Elder Yu. Normally, Elder Yu should not have any contact with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

"Furthermore, I also found out that Elder Yu used to stay at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, and Yang Ping'an was also a student at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Perhaps they were already acquainted."

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned serious. Yu Xiaogang was the only non-titled Douluo elder of the Spirit Hall, and the situation here was far more complex. Chrysanthemum Douluo himself had followed Qian Xunji for many years, making him a veteran of the Spirit Hall, and naturally knew some secrets unknown to ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand: "Salas, don't bother investigating Yang Ping'an. I'll find some time to meet this interesting kid. I have a feeling I can get a lot of surprises from Yang Ping'an."

After talking with Salas for a while, Chrysanthemum Douluo went to his room alone to think about something, and occasionally flipped through Yang Ping'an's file, feeling that there seemed to be endless strangeness hidden in the file.

However, he ultimately scoffed, "What an interesting kid. I wonder what surprises he'll give me?"

He had been looking for a natural moment to attract Chrysanthemum Douluo's attention and find an opportunity to meet him.
