Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 123 Battle against Shrek

After the Beast Academy defeated Thunder Academy, Shrek Academy was the only remaining opponent with any real strength.

After Yu Xiaogang fed Luo Sanpao dragon-attribute soul beasts for a while, Luo Sanpao's body and soul power seemed to have become stronger. The bottleneck that had plagued him for many years was finally loosening up, and it looked like he should be able to break through level 30 soon.

Meanwhile, the Beast Academy has encountered its closest rival, Shrek Academy.

Yang Ping'an was the first to go on stage as usual, but unexpectedly, the first player from Shrek Academy to go on stage was actually substitute Tyrone.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but complain when he saw this: He usually only plays one or two games, so what did Shrek Academy mean by sending a substitute? Did they want to use the substitute to wear down his strength, or did they send someone to deliberately lose?

Tailong's martial soul is the Mighty Ape, but compared to Yang Ping'an, the gap in strength is too great. In fact, even in terms of sheer power, he is no match for Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else, and didn't even use his soul skills. He quickly knocked Tailong off the stage, achieving his first victory against Shrek Academy.

The second to take the stage was Zhu Zhuqing. In terms of speed, she was indeed very good, and could even be said to be comparable to many Soul Masters. However, compared to Yang Ping'an, the gap was too large.

Agility-type Soul Masters rely on speed to launch surprise attacks. Since Zhu Zhuqing was slower than Yang Ping'an, the gap in strength and other aspects was even greater. Even if she expended her Soul Power, she couldn't succeed and was quickly defeated by Yang Ping'an.

The third player from Shrek Academy to appear was Ma Hongjun. It seems their plan was indeed to use Soul Masters and substitutes to wear down Yang Ping'an's strength.

Ma Hongjun's advantage is that he can fly, which can restrain everyone to a certain extent. However, his disadvantage is that he is only a Soul Master so far. Flying also consumes soul power, and even Soul Masters need to use soul skills to fly.

Yang Ping'an stood motionless on the stage, ignoring Ma Hongjun's verbal provocations. He didn't even care about Ma Hongjun's insults. This chubby guy seemed to have no other outstanding strengths besides verbal provocations that made people attack blindly. At least he didn't have that kind of strength yet.

As time went on, Ma Hongjun's soul power was increasingly depleted by flying, forcing him to descend from the sky and launch an attack.

Yang Ping'an had been waiting for this moment. His hands, like sharp claws, reached out and grabbed Ma Hongjun's attack with one hand while grabbing his arm with the other.

Ma Hongjun was immediately alarmed. Flames flickered around his body, and he quickly activated his first soul skill: Phoenix Fire Line. A beam of fire shot out from his mouth and rushed straight at Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about any of that. He covered his hands with soul power and forcefully blocked the attack. Before Yang Ping'an could attack again, Yang Ping'an grabbed Yang Ping'an's neck. With just a little force, Yang Ping'an could break Yang Ping'an's neck.

Everyone was amazed by what they saw. Although Ma Hongjun's strength was average, he performed quite well in the Soul Master Competition. At least his top-grade Fire Phoenix Martial Soul had fire damage capabilities, and with the speed of a flying Soul Master, he could often restrain his opponents.

But when facing Yang Ping'an, he was simply being tortured.

Actually, this can't be blamed on anyone else. Since the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, Yang Ping'an's physical fitness has been improved to the limit, especially his ability to be immune to ice and fire. He can handle the flames of a mere Soul Master with his bare hands without any problems.

After defeating Ma Hongjun, Yang Ping'an had no interest in leaving the arena. He just wanted to see what kind of strength the next few people from Shrek Academy had.

The fourth to take the stage was Dugu Yan, one of the four Soul Masters of Shrek Academy, who was even known for her wide-range destructive power.

However, among the four Soul Masters of Shrek Academy, the one who was easiest for Yang Ping'an to deal with was Dugu Yan, especially after she had undergone Ice and Fire Body Refinement, which had made her immune to deadly poisons.

After the match began, Dugu Yan transformed into a giant Jade Serpent, filling the entire arena with a green aura, which looked extremely eerie.

Dugu Yan spoke calmly: "Yang Ping'an, although I lost to you before, my strength is now vastly different. The method you used with realgar powder and strong liquor can no longer suppress my snake venom."

Yang Ping'an sneered: "Our strength has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. You underestimate me by a mere venomous snake."

After saying this, Yang Ping'an simply activated his martial spirit and rushed towards Dugu Yan. Even though the poisonous fog covered the entire area, it seemed to have no effect on Ping'an.

Dugu Yan was immediately shocked. She hadn't expected that the large amount of poisonous fog on the scene would have no effect on Yang Ping'an. She hardened her heart and exhaled a green breath from her mouth. It looked extremely cold. This should be the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else and directly slapped the poisonous mist away, instantly dispelling it. Surprisingly, there was no sign of poisoning on his hand.

Although Dugu Yan was surprised, she gritted her teeth before Yang Ping'an could get close and lashed out with her huge snake tail like a whip.

Yang Ping'an transformed his hands into claws and grabbed the snake's tail, ignoring the force transmitted from it.

Then, with a strong pull, Dugu Yan was instantly thrown into a state of weightlessness by the snake's tail, and flew towards Yang Ping'an with a slight stagger.

Immediately afterwards, he slapped his hands down, his hands containing boundless soul power, even like a dragon's roar, directly breaking through the poisonous mist surrounding Dugu Yan's body and striking her shoulders heavily.

Before Dugu Yan could react, Yang Ping'an leaped forward again and unleashed several palm strikes, sending Dugu Yan and her body flying off the stage.

With Dugu Yan knocked out of the arena, Yang Ping'an had already defeated three opponents in one battle. Even the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, which many people found terrifying, seemed to have no effect on Yang Ping'an.

The crowd was in an uproar. Yang Ping'an had actually defeated three opponents without using any soul skills, including a Soul Master. His strength once again surprised everyone.

Yu Tianheng immediately helped the injured Dugu Yan up. After arranging for someone to treat her, he slowly walked onto the arena, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Yang Ping'an sneered: "Yu Tianheng, you should know the difference in strength between us. If you went up now, you would definitely not be my match."

Yu Tianheng shook his head: "Yang Ping'an, I don't know why, but I feel that you have some hatred towards me, or rather, you have some hatred towards our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. I know I shouldn't force you like last time, but my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family can definitely provide you with the best platform for development."

Yang Ping'an scoffed, "I know a thing or two about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's ways. Do you really think they would train an outsider?"

I'm really sorry, I'm sick and can only post two chapters. Let's start with the highlight: defeating seven Shrek Seven in one go.
