Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 110 Chrysanthemum Douluo

After Yang Ping'an returned to his room alone, he suddenly smelled an unusual fragrance. Before he could react, he heard a faint voice.

"Little friend, you'd better not move around, or I can't be sure what I'll do."

Immediately afterward, a beautiful man in golden armor appeared before Yang Ping'an. His skin was as white as a baby's, and his every move was very feminine. He had clearly applied feminine makeup to his face. If it weren't for his Adam's apple, he would definitely look like a beautiful woman.

In particular, the powerful aura emanating from this person far surpassed that of the Dragon Lord Meng Shu he had encountered.

Whether out of excitement or fear, Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Junior Yang Ping'an greets Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."

Chrysanthemum Douluo simply nodded slightly: "Oh, I didn't expect that a child like you would know my identity."

Yang Ping'an quickly and respectfully replied, "Senior is a guest of this Soul Master Competition, so I have naturally heard of you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Yang Ping'an indifferently. His originally casual thoughts suddenly paused, and then, as if possessed, his face showed boundless joy.

Before Yang Ping'an could react, his hands had already restrained him and tapped him several times. It was as if some kind of peculiar soul power surged into Yang Ping'an's body, but it also quickly circulated within him.

Immediately afterwards, Chrysanthemum Douluo, as if he had seen some kind of treasure, began to sniff Yang Ping'an carefully, his expression one of utter rapture.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This scent is just too captivating. I never imagined I would actually see the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

Yang Ping'an was completely stunned. Under the pressure of Chrysanthemum Douluo's Title Douluo-level strength, he didn't make any move and just let Chrysanthemum Douluo manipulate his body.

After a full ten minutes, Chrysanthemum Douluo's initial excitement began to subside, but a hint of excitement remained in his voice: "Yang Ping'an, have you ever eaten the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?"

After speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo revealed his martial soul in his hand, which was a beautiful Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Yang Ping'an nodded at this moment: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I once saw information about the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in the library of the Beast Academy."

Ignoring all that, Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly asked, "I'm asking if you've ever eaten the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, just like my martial soul."

Yang Ping'an nodded with some hesitation.

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly said in a deep voice, "Yang Ping'an, where did you see the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum? Logically speaking, I have been searching for it for countless years and have never found it. Your information should not be more extensive than mine."

Yang Ping'an hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Senior, I found this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in the Star Dou Great Forest. I was being chased by soul beasts and accidentally entered a dangerous place, where I encountered the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

When Chrysanthemum Douluo heard this, his lips twitched slightly. He felt that what Yang Ping'an said was a bit unreliable, and the plot seemed a bit old-fashioned: being chased, accidentally falling into a desperate situation, and finally encountering a fortuitous adventure. It seemed that many stories were like this.

However, the Star Dou Great Forest is definitely the place with the most spiritual herbs and hidden treasures on the entire Douluo Continent. In particular, the Lake of Life at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest is one of the places with the highest spiritual energy on the entire Douluo Continent. There are many rare and precious materials in it. It is indeed possible to find the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chrysanthemum Douluo paused for a moment, then said, "Yang Ping'an, although your talent is average, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can transform your body. Are you interested in staying by my side? I will definitely do my best to cultivate you in the future."

Hearing this, Yang Ping'an inwardly scoffed, "Why does everyone seem to prioritize talent? When they encounter someone with high talent like Dai Mubai, they'd want to take him as a disciple, even if he's an enemy. But when they encounter someone like me with only half a level of innate soul power, they suddenly want to take me as a subordinate?"

Even though Yang Ping'an was inwardly complaining, he showed a conflicted expression on his face: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I am a student of the Beast Academy, and relying on the Meng family, I'm afraid I cannot go with you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered: "What is the Meng family of the Beast Academy? Although the Dragon Duke and Wind Snake Granny have some strength, in the eyes of my Spirit Hall, they are nothing more than slightly larger ants."

Yang Ping'an's face became extremely tense: "Senior, the Beast Academy has at least nurtured and protected me. I am now able to reach the Soul Master realm thanks to the great efforts of Lord Long and the others. I can't be ungrateful."

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head: "The Soul Beast Academy is only for members of the Meng family. For someone like you who is not a member of the Meng family, their training is ultimately limited, and their resources probably cannot support you to cultivate to the level of a top-tier Soul Master."

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly realized something: "Wait, you are only at the half-level of innate soul power, and you are only eighteen years old now. Although you have already reached the Soul Master realm, the Beast Academy could not possibly train you like this."

After saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo grabbed Yang Ping'an's body again and began to study it. He couldn't help but say, "That's not right. Even if you ate the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, you still can't reach the Soul Master realm at the age of eighteen. After all, your innate soul power is only half a level."

Just now, Chrysanthemum Douluo was only concerned with the unique aura on Yang Ping'an and whether Yang Ping'an had eaten the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, but he overlooked other aspects of Yang Ping'an's situation.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo became extremely focused. He no longer just checked Yang Ping'an's meridians, but instead began to examine Yang Ping'an all over. When he checked Yang Ping'an's right arm, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but he only paused briefly before continuing to examine it. In the end, he even drew out a drop of blood.

However, when Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Yang Ping'an's blood, especially the fact that the red blood actually contained a trace of gold, he was extremely surprised.

After an unknown amount of time, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally spoke slowly: "Yang Ping'an, your body is quite extraordinary. Besides the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, you must have eaten many other fine things. Were these all discovered in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The Ice and Fire Body Refinement method originated from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu of the Tang Sect in Tang San's previous life. It involved consuming the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, which worked continuously within the body, and then being refined using the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to forge a body immune to ice, fire, and poison. Yang Ping'an went even further. Due to his dragon-attribute bloodline and the fact that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was formed from the corpse of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, Yang Ping'an's bloodline underwent a near-complete transformation.

This knowledge far surpasses the understanding of the people of Douluo Continent. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo doesn't know what Yang Ping'an ate.
