Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 144 Battle against the Star Luo Royal Academy Team (Part 2)

All eyes were on the battle between Yang Ping'an and Davis. Normally, Yang Ping'an was only level 44, while Davis was level 49, so the difference in their strength was obvious.

Davis was like a tiger descending from the mountain, exuding a domineering aura in every move, as if it were an aura that the White Tiger Martial Soul was born with.

Yang Ping'an, however, showed no weakness. His hands seemed to be full of power, and even a simple attack looked like it could crush Davis's fist. Clearly, Davis was weaker than Yang Ping'an in terms of strength and speed.

After just a few moves, Davis had already been scratched twice on his arm, clearly indicating that he was at a disadvantage in this exchange.

Davis himself was also a little surprised. His soul power was five levels higher than the other party's, so how come he seemed to be suppressed by the other party? This seemed to have hurt Davis's self-esteem.

Davis let out a loud roar, as if giving some kind of instruction. At that moment, the sisters Shangshan Ruoshui simultaneously used their second soul skill: Water Enhancement. The two forces immediately merged into Davis's body, further enhancing his strength and speed.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about that. His attacks became even more ferocious, especially since his claws seemed to have some kind of special cutting ability, which could almost cut through the soul power attached to his hands.

Davis roared again and used his third soul skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation. His muscles swelled instantly, his strength was enhanced once again, and even his limbs became much thicker.

As expected of the White Tiger Clan's inherited method of absorbing soul rings and the choice of soul skills, its power is indeed extraordinary.

But Yang Ping'an only started to get really excited at this point, and he became more and more courageous in the battle, his claw and palm techniques becoming increasingly ferocious.

Just then, taking advantage of the moment when Yang Ping'an was enduring the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Davis directly activated his second soul skill: White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. A golden light flew out from his hand, as if he wanted to severely injure Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an showed no weakness, imbuing his hands with golden soul power, intending to withstand Davis's attack head-on.

However, Davis's expression suddenly changed, and the White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave, which had been blocked, moved rapidly, transforming into a Blazing Light Cutting Line, as if it were about to slice Yang Ping'an's entire body in half.

Yang Ping'an was only trying his best to block it, but when he saw the Light-Splitting Cutting Line flying over quickly, as if it wanted to cut his body in half, he quickly used the Profound Gold Protective Shield. Instantly, a Profound Gold Armor appeared around him, blocking the Light-Splitting Cutting Line.

Before Davis could react, Yang Ping'an, with his powerful physique and dragon claws, reached out and grabbed at the beam of light, as if he wanted to shatter it.

Davis was taken aback. He knew the power of his soul skill even better, and he never expected that someone would catch a mutated version of his soul skill with their bare hands.

But before he could react, Yang Ping'an used both hands to push him forcefully against the light, forcing even Davis himself back several steps.

Then, with all its might, it pounced, directly bypassing the White Tiger Light Wave emitted from Davis's hand, and swung its claw at him. Davis was caught off guard and one claw had already grabbed his arm, tearing off a large piece of flesh.

Davis seemed to have been greatly insulted. He couldn't believe that he could still be suppressed after using his third soul skill. It was simply unbelievable.

But before he could defend with all his might, Yang Ping'an kicked out with a back kick, a spinning kick. Even though he tried to block with his arms crossed, a powerful force traveled from his arms through Davis's entire body, sending him flying several meters.

Instead of getting angry, Davis laughed and even clapped his hands: "Very good, very good. This is the first time I've been suppressed by a Soul Master. It seems your combat power is really good. Then I'll have to play for real."

Yang Ping'an sneered, "I hope you can step up your game later, otherwise this battle won't be very interesting."

Seeing that Davis was injured, the two support sisters, Shangshan Ruoshui, quickly used their third soul skill: Shangshan Ruoshui. Two beams of light quickly entered Davis's body, and Davis's originally consumed soul power seemed to be recovering rapidly. Even his wounds improved a lot, and his speed increased significantly.

Yang Ping'an merely snorted coldly and met Davis's attack head-on with great force.

While Yang Ping'an could suppress Davis, the others were suppressed by him, especially Zhu Zhuyun in his fight against Meng Haoran. Zhu Zhuyun's soul power was two levels higher than Meng Haoran's, and Zhu Zhuyun's speed was much faster. Instead, Meng Haoran was repeatedly scratched by Zhu Zhuyun.

Yang Ping'an clashed violently with Davis, his claws gripping Davis's fists so tightly they seemed intent on breaking his hands, clearly indicating the considerable pain he was enduring.

Just then, a figure flashed by, and a dark shadow swiftly grabbed at Yang Ping'an. This was his fourth soul skill: Netherworld Slash.

Even though Yang Ping'an reacted extremely quickly, he seemed to have lost the initiative in that instant, as if he could only watch helplessly as Zhu Zhuyun grabbed his body. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding that Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had developed through long-term cooperation.

Yang Ping'an steeled his resolve, his third soul ring flashed, and he immediately activated his third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Dragon Transformation. His defense and strength were greatly enhanced. With this moment of powerful strength, he managed to dodge Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld Slash, which was aimed at his vital points, but a long bloodstain still appeared on his shoulder.

Meng Haoran, who was standing nearby, originally wanted to come to the rescue, but Yang Ping'an gave him a look and he immediately understood Yang Ping'an's meaning. Instead, he grabbed the dragon-headed cane and attacked Davis.

Zhu Zhuyun's figure flashed again, and his claws suddenly became extremely sharp, obviously his attack power seemed to have increased a lot. This was his second soul skill: Netherworld Hundred Claws. Obviously, the previous attack had not achieved the desired effect, and he wanted to take the opportunity to join forces with Davis to eliminate Yang Ping'an.

But at this moment, the dragon-headed cane in Meng Haoran's hand suddenly transformed into a giant dragon head, which was his first soul skill: Dragon Head Strike.

Davis quickly abandoned Yang Ping'an and activated the White Tiger Vajra Shield to try and block Meng Haoran's attack.

Just as Zhu Zhuyun was about to grab Yang Ping'an's body, Yang Ping'an's left hand forcefully blocked Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld Hundred Claws attack. But before she could react, Yang Ping'an's left hand pushed forward horizontally, forcefully shifting her position to the right. Meanwhile, his right hand slashed down with force. Before he could react, his right claw had already grabbed Zhu Zhuyun's shoulder, tearing a large piece of flesh, and he was instantly sent flying.

Davis exclaimed in alarm, "Zhu Yun, be careful!"

Yang Ping'an coldly replied, "Davis, you'd better watch yourself."

Davis had forcibly activated the White Tiger Vajra Shield to block Meng Haoran's attack.

But now he was very close to Yang Ping'an, especially after Yang Ping'an used his third soul skill, his body became extremely burly, and he slammed down hard, instantly shattering Davis's White Tiger Vajra Shield. Then he grabbed hard, and a large piece of flesh on Davis's shoulder was instantly torn away, and Davis was also sent flying.

As Yang Ping'an struck, Davis was sent flying more than ten meters away, rolling several times on the ground and spitting out a lot of blood.

Zhu Zhuyun was in a similar situation; she was also sent flying more than ten meters, and a lot of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

In fact, if it weren't for the rules of the competition, Yang Ping'an could have grabbed their necks or arms, or even other vital organs, and even if they didn't die, they would have been seriously injured.

Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran planned to press their advantage and quickly rushed towards Davis and Zhu Zhuyun respectively, hoping to eliminate the two of them.

Ignoring the damage inflicted on others, Ying Wei, a member of the opposing team, forced his way to Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran, and activated his fourth soul skill: Water Buffalo Charge. He transformed into a giant, inflated water buffalo and charged towards Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran, trying to protect Zhu Zhuyun and Davis behind them.

But Yang Ping'an couldn't care less about that now. He struck out with a palm, while Meng Haoran struck out with his dragon-headed cane, forcibly breaking through his soul skill and sending Ying Wei flying off the stage.
