Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 187 Soul Power Level 60

Every time Yang Ping'an fought against a soul beast, especially a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the killing aura emanating from his body could make even the soul beast tremble, let alone the Killing God Domain.

However, after experiencing too much killing in the Killing City, a murderous aura seemed to involuntarily emanate from his body, even resembling the smell of blood.

In battle, Yang Ping'an tried his best to use his most fundamental power, which meant trying to materialize his killing intent in the battle, so as to ultimately control it.

In the first few battles, as the fighting intensified, Yang Ping'an gradually went berserk, eventually tearing the battle beast to shreds. It took him a long time to recover. If Li Gui hadn't been watching over him, there might have been other dangerous situations.

As time went by, Yang Ping'an gradually began to utilize the killing intent emanating from his body. In particular, when Yang Ping'an used the Seven Kill Sword Technique, the killing intent on his body seemed to be greatly stimulated, as if it was easily guided by the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Indeed, the Seven Kill Sword Technique is the purest form of swordsmanship focused on killing. The stronger the killing intent and the way of killing, the more ferocious the sword technique becomes. In particular, the sword path emphasizes offense and attack, which is similar to the way of killing. The stronger the killing intent, the more powerful the Seven Kill Sword Technique tends to be.

Especially after Yang Ping'an used the Seven Kill Sword Technique more and more, the higher the level of swordsmanship he cultivated, the more easily the killing aura that involuntarily emanated from his body became to be controlled.

Yang Ping'an was overjoyed. His plan was indeed correct. If he could cultivate the Seven Kill Sword Technique to a higher level, he could definitely achieve the state of returning to simplicity. At that time, he would be able to completely control the killing energy and even transform it into swords, which would be even more powerful.

As time went by, Yang Ping'an cultivated in the Sunset Forest for a full year. After this year of cultivation, the killing intent on his body had completely disappeared without a trace, or rather, he had been able to completely control it and contain it within his body.

To outsiders, Yang Ping'an appears to be an ordinary person, no longer displaying any murderous aura. However, to experts, Yang Ping'an resembles a sword, a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment to slay enemies.

This also means that Yang Ping'an's swordsmanship has improved significantly again. In particular, when Yang Ping'an casually swung his longsword, a sharp sword aura flew out quickly, directly cutting a boulder in half, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

Even Li Gui, a Contra Master, felt as if he were looking at a monster when he saw Yang Ping'an, and he was a little frightened.

However, the downside is that if he doesn't use dragon transformation, or if it's not a precious sword, an ordinary longsword simply cannot withstand Yang Ping'an's sword energy and will easily shatter.

After this period of cultivation, Yang Ping'an's soul power finally reached level sixty. It should be noted that in the City of Slaughter or in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Yang Ping'an basically did not put much effort into cultivating his soul power; everything seemed to happen naturally.

It should be noted that since Yang Ping'an last absorbed a soul ring at level 53, only three and a half years have passed. His progress has not been very fast, and it could even be said that it has been rather slow.

However, in the past few years, Yang Ping'an has not spent much time meditating. After all, the killing aura is full of danger and cannot be meditated. In the past year, he has mainly been controlling the killing aura, so he has not been able to calm down and meditate.

Even so, my soul power seemed to increase involuntarily, especially with the effects of the killing aura and the power of ice and fire. My soul power seemed to increase without me even realizing it.

Yang Ping'an was surprised. When he meditated again recently, he felt that his soul power was increasing at a very fast speed, even faster than when he was tempering his body with ice and fire. This showed that Yang Ping'an's current talent was definitely not inferior to those geniuses with full innate soul power.

In the past year, Yang Ping'an has also challenged Li Gui many times, mainly to hone his ability to handle sudden dangers, especially those strange and unusual soul skills.

Li Gui's martial soul is Ghost Shadow, which makes his attacks extremely unpredictable. He has a variety of soul skills, making him one of the strongest fighters in the Contra series.

Especially after taking the ten-thousand-year-old elixir given to him by Yang Ping'an, both his aptitude and martial soul seemed to have become much stronger. When the two parted ways at the entrance of the City of Slaughter, Li Gui was only level 82. It should be noted that the improvement speed of Soul Douluo is extremely slow, basically taking a year or even several years to improve by one level.

However, Li Gui is the complete opposite. In recent years, he has been improving by more than one level every year. After just three years, his soul power level has reached level 87, which means he has improved by a full five levels in three years, which is a bit terrifying.

If things continue like this, Li Gui will definitely be able to break through to the Title Douluo level in three to five years at most, and then he will truly become one of the top masters in the world.

Although Yang Ping'an and Li Gui were far apart in strength, Yang Ping'an's formidable combat power surprised even Li Gui, who felt a slight sense of danger. It should be noted that Li Gui was already considered a master in the Soul Douluo realm.

After their battle that day, Yang Ping'an, as usual, collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted. Li Gui, though seemingly calm, had a bead of sweat between his brows if you looked closely, clearly indicating that the battle had put him under pressure and that he was even slightly injured.

Yang Ping'an rested for a while before speaking: "Uncle Li Gui, can't you go easy on me a little? You're supposed to be a Soul Douluo-level expert, how could you use such a heavy hand on a quasi-Soul King like me?"

Li Gui's face was gloomy, and a strange laugh came from his mouth: "Ping An, how dare you call yourself a Soul King? Have you ever seen a Soul King as powerful as you? Have you ever seen a Soul King with a domain?"

Yang Ping'an was speechless for a moment: This Li Gui is indeed worthy of being carefully cultivated by Ghost Douluo. His personality is completely similar to Ghost Douluo's, but his behavior is unpredictable and he doesn't care about others at all. No wonder this group of people are all bachelors.

However, after resting for a while, Yang Ping'an asked, "Uncle Li Gui, has my master said when he's coming? I'm getting impatient lately."

Li Gui shook his head: "I don't know. Elder Ju sent a letter a few days ago. The Spirit Hall is quite busy lately, so they won't be coming for a while."

"By the way, Ping An, your sixth spirit ring requirement is too high. Does that mean your seventh spirit ring will need to be at the 100,000-year level?"

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "That's hard to say. The seventh spirit ring is something for the future, we'll talk about it then. But even if it's not 100,000 years, it probably won't be too far off."

I've recently explored most of Sunset Forest, fought many spirit beasts, and encountered all sorts of different spirit beasts, but I still haven't found one that meets my requirements.

According to Yang Ping'an's ideas and requirements, the best soul beast is one with both metal and dragon attributes, around 70,000 years old. It doesn't necessarily have to be a metal attribute like before, but it absolutely must be a dragon attribute soul beast. This soul ring must not have any mistakes, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.

Yang Ping'an has been trying his best to evolve the Purple Gold Mastiff, and now it has reached the most critical moment. The Purple Gold Mastiff has grown dragon wings and can now be called the Purple Gold Demon Dragon, but in reality it can only be called a sub-dragon. It has not grown dragon horns, and its dragon claws are not as sharp as those of a real dragon. Although scales have begun to appear on its surface, they are still far from being the scales of a real dragon.

According to Yang Ping'an's plan, they still need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, especially the core area. Therefore, a Title Douluo must lead the team. It is ultimately not safe for Li Gui, a Soul Douluo, to be in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.
