Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 203 The Current Situation of the Shrek Clan

Once Yang Ping'an had fully adapted to his body, he prepared to continue his training.

Now, there is only a year and a half left before the original Soul Hunting Operation. Especially according to the current situation and the few words of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, it is likely that action will be taken against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in a year and a half. Yang Ping'an's goal is to surpass Yu Luomian's strength before then and take revenge on those people who persecuted and hunted down his father.

However, Yang Ping'an was also very clear that, purely in terms of strength, Yu Luomian was an 89th-level Soul Douluo. Due to the limitations of his own aptitude, he had never been able to break through to the Title Douluo level. Over the years, he had tried every means, but he had never had the opportunity to cross that final step.

This also caused Yu Luomian to become extremely obsessed. Whether it was attacking his own father or repeatedly vying for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, everything he did was in order to break through to the Title Douluo level.

As for why Yu Yuanzhen repeatedly indulged Yu Luomian and even went to great lengths for him, it was always to give the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan another Title Douluo, so that the sect's development would not be so restricted.

To reach Yu Luomian's strength in just a year and a half is incredibly difficult. You must know that Yu Luomian is the purest direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and also the second-in-command. Although he has not yet reached the level of full dragon transformation, he is not far off. In terms of combat power, he can even rival an ordinary Title Douluo. Even Dugu Bo back then might not have been able to defeat Yu Luomian.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Ping'an has not yet made up his mind to go to Poseidon Island. The training time on Poseidon Island is extremely long, at least three or four years. If he goes there rashly, he may not be able to come back.

After some thought, Yang Ping'an decided to go to the Death Valley of the Former King, a place where the core disciples of the Spirit Hall trained. It was said that the place was full of dangers, and no one had ever explored the deepest part of it. Even titled Douluo risked their lives there.

In particular, Death Valley is known as one of the most dangerous places on the Douluo Continent, second only to Star Dou Forest and the Far North Forest, and its danger level even exceeds that of Sunset Forest.

If you can go deep into Death Valley, you will definitely gain a lot.

Even Chrysanthemum Douluo was full of surprise. They did not expect Yang Ping'an to go to Death Valley. They knew that Hu Liena and the others only went to the outer perimeter of Death Valley for training. Even with Ghost Douluo's strength and unpredictability, he did not go to the deepest part.

Especially considering that Yang Ping'an's plan was to go to Death Valley alone this time, without intending to go with Li Gui, the level of danger was unimaginable.

However, despite some concerns, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo gave Yang Ping'an a token to go to Death Valley and personally led him to the passage to Death Valley.

After personally experiencing Xiao Wu's situation, Tang San seemed to have become unusually stubborn, and even incredibly ruthless.

First, under Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San obtained a very good spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. The ring was 30,000 years old and came from a Soul Devouring Spider King. The Blue Silver Emperor spirit greatly enhanced its toxicity and also had the characteristic of devouring. It could absorb the spirit power and even flesh and blood of spirit masters and spirit beasts. In order to become stronger, Tang San absorbed a lot of the blood of spirit beasts with the Blue Silver Emperor.

On the other hand, there's the Shrek Academy team. After the Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy's performance even surpassed that of the Sin Luo Royal Academy team. The Star Luo Royal Family expressed their willingness to give Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing a fair chance to compete.

That being said, in terms of both soul power level and age, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are still far behind Zhu Zhuyun and Davis, especially Davis, who quickly broke through to the Soul King realm after the Soul Master Competition. Even if Dai Mubai is confident in himself, he cannot overcome the seven or eight level difference in soul power between them.

As for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, the gap is even greater, with a difference of more than ten levels in soul power, making them practically incomparable in terms of competition.

In the end, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing decided to go with the flow. Instead of returning to the Star Luo Empire, they stayed at Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, which was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire's influence could not penetrate there.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing did not join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Spirit Hall as Yang Ping'an had said. Instead, she continued to cultivate diligently, hoping to break free from the shackles of fate through her own efforts.

Like Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun also continued to study at Shrek Academy. Both of them were only Soul Masters and were not very old. After three and a half years of cultivation, they had both reached the Soul Grandmaster realm. According to their and Flander's ideas, they wanted to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.

In the original story, Oscar and Ma Hongjun went out to train because they had both reached the Soul Master realm and had a certain level of self-defense ability. However, after losing the immortal herb, the two were not as amazing as in the original story, but they could still reach the level of the Soul Master Competition captain.

On the contrary, Ning Rongrong has already graduated. As the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, she cannot stay outside for long. She needs to return to the sect to cultivate and learn about sect management.

In contrast, Oscar and Ning Rongrong's relationship ended without a clear conclusion. Although Oscar was deeply in love with Ning Rongrong, his strength was far inferior to that in the original work, making it impossible for him to break through the family's limitations as in the original story. After all, even the safety of two support characters together could not be guaranteed.

After Yu Xiaogang absorbed his third soul ring, even though Luo Sanpao devoured countless amounts of dragon flesh and blood, his soul power remained stuck at level thirty-one, unable to advance any further. He became incredibly dejected. If it weren't for the fact that he was still the academy's team leader and that the students on his team had a promising future and a chance to win the next Soul Master Competition, he probably wouldn't have had any hope of improvement at all.

According to Yu Xiaogang's estimate, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan all have a chance to break through to the Soul King realm during the next Soul Master Competition, making them absolute favorites to win the championship.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan. They still used the name of the academy's battle team, but they mainly trained in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.

Originally, Yu Tianheng, as Yu Yuanzhen's grandson, was mainly cultivated within the family. However, with the situation changing unpredictably, these direct disciples will face many dangers outside.

Another point is Dugu Yan. Originally, Dugu Bo, with his strength as a titled Douluo, was feared even by the three upper sects. However, since his disappearance, the Dugu family has lost its prestige in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Especially since Dugu Bo, as a poison cultivator, had offended and killed many people in the past, these people had lost their fear of Dugu Bo and all their attention was now focused on Dugu Yan.

To ensure Dugu Yan's safety, Yu Tianheng took her back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, where no one could threaten her safety.

After absorbing the Soul Ring of the Soul Devouring Spider King, and also using the Blue Silver Emperor to absorb the flesh and blood of many soul beasts, Tang San's soul power level reached level 63. If Tang Hao hadn't stopped him, Tang San would probably have continued to absorb soul beasts to increase his strength.

In the end, Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect alone as Tang Hao had requested. However, since Tang Hao himself was missing his right arm, he did not sever his right leg, so Tang San could only return to the Clear Sky Sect empty-handed.

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect originally had a lot of opinions about Tang Hao, but after seeing Tang San, especially since Tang San had twin martial souls and had already reached level 63 at a young age, he was definitely the most promising disciple of the next generation of the Clear Sky Sect.

However, Tang San was rather stubborn and continued to argue with the elders, even fighting with Tang Lie.

However, considering that Tang San was the most talented disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, and also out of respect for the sect leader Tang Xiao, Tang Lie outwardly agreed that the two were evenly matched, but this was under the condition that Tang Lie controlled his soul power.

After some discussion, Tang San decided to stay in the Clear Sky Sect to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Xiao even personally taught him the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, clearly grooming him as the next sect leader.
