Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 145 Tearing Apart the Netherworld White Tiger

Ying Wei of Xingluo Royal Academy's all-out attack ultimately bought some time for Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, and also for the entire team.

Within the entire Star Luo Royal Academy, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun are the strongest and the absolute core members. Everyone else is willing to go to great lengths to protect them.

The others disregarded their own safety and tried to stop Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran, while the Shangshan Ruoshui sisters used all their strength to activate their third soul skill: Shangshan Ruoshui. The two amplified soul skills quickly arrived on Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who were already seriously injured, were still coughing up blood, but they managed to get together quickly. Given their current physical condition, they had no way to stop Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran, so they could only use their trump card, the Netherworld White Tiger, with all their might.

As Zhu Zhuyun and Davis came together, their martial souls, White Tiger and Netherworld Cat, strangely merged together. In the end, their figures disappeared and formed a giant tiger. Although some parts of it were still white, parts of its body seemed to have turned black. It was several times larger than their original martial souls and seemed to be full of power.

With a tremendous roar, the Netherworld White Tiger pounced forward, its massive paw seemingly brimming with power, as if it wanted to swat Yang Ping'an, its enemy, away.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an's opposite personality emerged, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. Especially under the effect of his third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, he also slammed out with a huge dragon claw. The tiger claw of the Netherworld White Tiger collided with Yang Ping'an's dragon claw, and Yang Ping'an was immediately sent flying several meters away, but the Netherworld White Tiger also retreated quite a bit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Haoran quickly blocked Li Yang and Tang Hongning, who had come to provide support. The others also launched their soul skills to attack the Netherworld White Tiger. In particular, the control soul master Li Yi launched the Spider Web Binding again, trying to trap the huge Netherworld White Tiger directly.

But the Netherworld White Tiger let out a deafening roar, and its two enormous tiger paws swatted away the spider web bindings.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Ping'an flew forward and grabbed the Netherworld White Tiger with both claws. This attack struck the Netherworld White Tiger's back while he was swatting away the spider web bindings, and the Netherworld White Tiger let out a huge scream.

The Netherworld White Tiger, in pain and disregarding its injured back, swung its claws again. Yang Ping'an swung his hand, transforming it into a dragon claw, and forcefully grabbed the Netherworld White Tiger's claw. Then, with all his might, he tore it apart, seemingly shattering the entire tiger's paw.

The Netherworld White Tiger appeared noticeably dimmer, but it still roared fiercely. This time, it actually stretched out its head, trying to bite Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else and directly grabbed at the tiger's head with his claws, enduring the tiger's bite head. His claws even gradually reached deep into the tiger's head, as if he wanted to tear the entire Netherworld White Bone apart.

Finally, Yang Ping'an used all his strength to tear it apart with almost all his might. The entire Netherworld White Tiger seemed to have suffered an extremely painful attack, and its form slowly dissipated, transforming into Zhu Zhuyun and Davis. The two of them were in very bad condition and lay on the ground bleeding profusely.

Before Yang Ping'an could prepare to attack the remaining members of the Star Luo Royal Academy again, the opposing team leader had already conceded defeat. Before the referee could even announce the result, several healing soul masters had already rushed to the arena to treat Zhu Zhuyun and Davis immediately.

Davis is the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. Even if the competition is lost, no losses can be allowed. Even the Spirit Hall is wary of him.

Only then did the referee belatedly announce the victory of the Beast Academy. Yang Ping'an sighed, withdrew his martial soul and soul skill amplification, and returned to his original ordinary human form.

Looking at his wound, Yang Ping'an shook his head. He had been accidentally injured by Zhu Zhuyun. Although he immediately used his third soul skill to increase his defense, he was still scratched.

Meng Haoran, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed. If he hadn't failed to block Zhu Zhuyun, Yang Ping'an wouldn't have been injured at all.

The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone had expected a fierce battle, since the goal of the Silla Royal Academy was clearly to win the championship. Their overall strength was among the top three of all the participating teams. But now they were defeated so easily. In fact, only Yang Ping'an was slightly injured by Zhu Zhuyun's sneak attack.

Moreover, judging from Yang Ping'an's current condition, this minor injury seems to heal quickly. His defense and reaction speed are quite frightening. You have to know that Yang Ping'an was ambushed while fighting to the death with Davis, who had a soul power level five higher than him. If it were anyone else, they would probably be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

Yang Ping'an was actually able to withstand the Netherworld White Tiger with the amplification of his third soul skill, and even to tear the Netherworld White Tiger apart with his bare hands in the end. The amplification of this third soul skill was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Of all those present, only the Shrek Academy members and Feng Xiaotian had ever witnessed Yang Ping'an's third soul skill. They were all still shaken. If it were a life-or-death battle between soul masters, how could they withstand such an amplification skill?

The expressions of all the participating teams beside the arena became extremely serious. The teamwork between Yang Ping'an and the Beast Academy far exceeded their expectations. According to their estimates, they had virtually no chance of defeating the Beast Academy.

Even the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, who had initially maintained a calm demeanor, became serious. Hu Liena looked at Yang Ping'an with a grave expression: "Brother, Yan, do you think we could defeat Yang Ping'an in a one-on-one fight?"

Xie Yue shook his head: "Nana, in terms of individual combat ability, Yang Ping'an has already surpassed the three of us. I'm really curious about what kind of soul beast Yang Ping'an's third soul skill comes from, and why the amplification is so strong, and it's basically an all-round amplification."

Yan was unusually nervous: "I find this Yang Ping'an very strange. His soul power level is much lower than mine, but his combat power is no weaker than mine, especially his defensive ability, which seems to be even stronger than mine. Zhu Zhuyun's attack just now was timed very well, and even I would have been seriously injured."

"Nana, even if Yang Ping'an is strong, he can't deal with your demons, right?"

Hu Liena shook her head: "If Xie Yue and I use the Demon Charm, dealing with Yang Ping'an shouldn't be a problem. Even if his combat power is good, his mental strength is still insufficient. The Demon Charm is superior to the Netherworld White Tiger. I just want to know what Yang Ping'an's fourth soul skill is, and whether he has any other trump cards."

Yang Ping'an has only appeared a few times, so there are hardly any records of him, making it impossible to ascertain his true strength.

The third round of the finals proceeded smoothly, with most of the strong teams advancing except for Xingluo Royal Academy.

The six teams that advanced to the fourth round were the Beast Academy Team, the Spirit Hall Team, the Shrek Academy Team, the New Divine Wind Team, the Tianshui Team, and the Black Tiger Academy Team from Xingluo.

Yang Ping'an didn't care much about the draw. In terms of overall strength, the Spirit Hall team was unique, and other academies were relatively weaker. Given the Spirit Hall's track record, the Spirit Hall team probably wouldn't draw any strong teams.
