Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 156 On the Edge of Death

As the spirit battle competition came to an end, everyone present was amazed. Whether it was the Beast Academy or Shrek Academy, this competition was full of surprises.

Tang San of Shrek Academy displayed his external soul bone and also showcased his seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill, which amazed the audience.

The Beast Academy, however, was not to be outdone. They reacted very quickly to the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, finding its weakness almost instantly. Meng Haoran and Meng Xuanlang's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was also quite impressive. It seems that the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny will have successors in the future.

What's most amazing is Yang Ping'an, who was able to withstand the true form of the weapon spirit with just two amplification skills. Keep in mind that this is a difference of thirty levels of soul power. Given the domineering nature of the Clear Sky Hammer weapon spirit, even an ordinary Soul Emperor might not be able to withstand it.

Yang Ping'an found it a bit strange that the Spirit Hall hadn't yet made any move against Tang San, but he was also very clear that this was probably just the calm before the storm.

In particular, Yang Ping'an had already heard that since the start of the Soul Master Competition, the entire Spirit City had been sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, which basically blocked Tang San's possibility of sneaking away.

Yang Ping'an only received some treatment and briefly discussed tomorrow's tactics with everyone before returning to his room to rest. Although he had clashed with the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer's spirit in this match, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries thanks to his strong physique.

Tang San, on the other hand, didn't look too good at the moment. Forcibly using the weapon spirit true form and the fourth soul skill had long exceeded the limit of his body's endurance, and his mental strength was probably severely damaged.

Now everyone at the Beast Academy is looking forward to the final championship. Dragon Lord even approached Yang Ping'an privately, saying that if they win the final championship, Yang Ping'an can choose any soul bone he wants.

After all, if Yang Ping'an couldn't go all out against the three Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall, it would be impossible for him to win the championship.

Meng Haoran and Meng Xuanlang were clearly seriously injured, with many broken bones. They might not be able to recover to their best condition until tomorrow. As a result, the only chance of victory now lies with Yang Ping'an.

Although Yang Ping'an outwardly expressed that he would do his best, he inwardly complained: the spirit bones of the Spirit Hall are not so easy to obtain. With the strength of the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, they can naturally escort the two spirit bones away, while he, a spirit master who has graduated from the Beast Academy, will probably fall into the tiger's mouth of many forces in an instant. Not to mention the spirit bones, he may not even be able to save his life.

However, after Yang Ping'an returned to his room and rested for a while, he was dragged to the Papal Palace by Ghost Douluo once again.

Faced with the silent Ghost Douluo, Yang Ping'an was speechless. His uncle was too taciturn, and clearly ruthless despite his few words. He didn't even know how to take care of his nephew.

However, when Yang Ping'an saw Bibi Dong, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he hurriedly bowed. This Pope was not so easy to talk to.

Bibi Dong didn't say anything, but with a wave of her hand, a green light came into Yang Ping'an's hand. It was indeed a green head soul bone, which seemed to be even more powerful than the head soul bone rewarded in the Soul Master Competition.

"This is a 70,000-year-old head soul bone from the Silver Moon Flood Dragon. It is very suitable for your martial soul and is a treasure of my Spirit Hall. It is part of the deal we are making with you."

Yang Ping'an was instantly shocked. It was actually a rare dragon-attribute soul bone. No wonder his martial soul had felt a slight tremor.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong is so generous as to take out a soul bone of this level. You should know that the only inherited soul bones of this level in the three upper sects are of this level.

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Holiness. I will definitely cultivate diligently and become an outstanding disciple of my master, living up to his expectations."

Although this statement is rather vague and does not explicitly say that he is willing to work for the Spirit Hall or join the Spirit Hall, it is a clear indication that he will contribute to his master, which is not much different from joining the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong nodded: "Normally, this soul bone wouldn't fall into your hands. Even in our transactions, we wouldn't use a soul bone of this level. However, you should know that my Spirit Hall is determined to win the championship of this Soul Master Competition."

Yang Ping'an's heart stirred, realizing that this soul bone was indeed not so easy to obtain. He quickly said, "Your Holiness, tomorrow's competition will likely be a fierce battle. According to the Beast Academy's tactics, I will confront Hu Liena and Xie Yue's enchanting charm, Meng Haoran and Meng Xuanlang's martial soul fusion skill will confront Yan, and the rest of us just need to hold our ground and remain undefeated."

Bibi Dong thought carefully for a moment before slowly speaking: "Your performance as a Soul Master this time was very good, especially today when you were able to withstand the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer's weapon spirit. Even Nana and Xie Yue might not be able to do that."

"Tell me then, what are the chances of the Beast Academy winning against my Golden Generation's three Soul Kings?"

Yang Ping'an carefully considered the recent performance of the Spirit Hall team, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Your Holiness, if I go all out, the Beast Academy's chances of winning should be over 80%. Even if I only hold back Hu Liena and the other demons, the Beast Academy still has a 60% chance of winning."

Bibi Dong shook her head: "That's not enough. No matter what methods are used, the Spirit Hall team must win, and it must be a complete victory. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall's image will be affected."

Yang Ping'an was speechless. If Shrek Academy's Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique were suddenly used against the Spirit Hall team, the Spirit Hall team would probably have no chance of winning. Now they actually want to win completely? It's just wishful thinking.

However, when Yang Ping'an's gaze fell on Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, he originally wanted to ask for their help, but the two of them actually showed an indifferent attitude, which made Yang Ping'an feel that his apprenticeship was a waste.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Ping'an tentatively spoke up: "Your Holiness, this is a bit of a stretch. If the Spirit Hall had a fourth Soul King, the chances of winning could be increased to 70%. If they had a Soul Emperor-level expert, the chances of winning would definitely be 100%."

Bibi Dong's expression immediately tightened, and a powerful pressure emanated from her, making Yang Ping'an feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him: "What do you mean by that? Do you know something?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were standing to the side, were also shocked. They never expected Yang Ping'an to say such a thing. Could it be that he really knew the secret of the Spirit Hall?

Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were about to plead for mercy, the pressure on Yang Ping'an vanished instantly, but Bibi Dong's expression remained extremely unpleasant.

This was followed by a loud, angry shout: "Yang Ping'an, if you can't give us a reason, then stay here in the Spirit Hall and face our judgment."

Yang Ping'an was shocked and quickly said, "Your Holiness, I was just guessing. With the Spirit Hall's cultivation and emphasis on young geniuses over the years, there must be a lot of talented people emerging. I'm afraid there are hidden geniuses besides Hu Liena and the others."

Bibi Dong spoke with a half-smile: "Your words alone cannot dispel my doubts. I cannot allow anyone to know the secrets of my Spirit Hall."

Yang Ping'an simply went all out: "Your Holiness, I know you want to demonstrate your strength with the Golden Generation, but if you really want to demonstrate your strength, you'd better build an insurmountable mountain so that the three upper sects will be thrown into disarray."

Bibi Dong simply smiled and said, "That's quite interesting. Showing off my strength is indeed my idea, but what makes you think you know about the hidden genius of my Spirit Hall? I doubt Elder Ju would tell you so easily."

Ju Douluo, who was standing to the side, was terrified when he heard this. He didn't want to be suspected by Bibi Dong.

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Legend has it that the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is a god-level Martial Soul and the highest quality Martial Soul in the world. As the symbol of the Spirit Hall, it is impossible for it to lose its inheritance so easily."

Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing nearby, quickly gave Yang Ping'an a meaningful look, but Yang Ping'an seemed not to notice and continued to speak.

"I have seen the illustrations of all martial spirits in the world and have also studied the six-winged angel martial spirit in detail. If I remember correctly, the six-winged angel should have another successor."

Bibi Dong coldly said, "I think leaving you here would increase the chances of my Spirit Hall team winning."
