Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 217 Yang Ping'an VS Serpent Spear Douluo

After listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo's analysis of the Jade Luo Crown, Yang Ping'an thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Master, my current strength should be enough to fight against a Title Douluo. You can try it if you don't believe me."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and nodded silently, without saying anything more.

The two of them were aware of Yang Ping'an's hard work and dedication over the years, and they also knew how strict Yang Ping'an was in choosing his spirit rings. In particular, Yang Ping'an's sixth spirit ring was already 70,000 years old, so the age of his seventh spirit ring, which they considered to be good, must be extremely high.

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded and said, "How about this, Ping An? The difference in soul power between you and your uncle is too great. There's no point in fighting. Let's find someone with similar strength to Yu Luomian to fight you and see if there really is a gap between you two."

Yang Ping'an nodded. Given his ultimate gold form and strength, he should be able to defeat an ordinary Title Douluo. In addition, with the several soul bones he possessed, he was definitely stronger than Yu Luomian.

Ghost Douluo immediately arranged for someone to retrieve Li Gui, while Chrysanthemum Douluo continued to attend to his own affairs, while also planning to find a suitable opponent for Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, cultivated alone in his room, organizing his cultivation gains from recent years.

Three days passed quickly. In a secluded open space outside Wuhun City, Chrysanthemum Douluo chose the battleground for Yang Ping'an.

The area had already been cleared out. Apart from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there was only one other person present, namely Snake Spear Douluo, who had performed the bone replacement on him. Judging from the situation, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo must have a very good relationship.

Just as Yang Ping'an was surprised, Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke leisurely: "Ping'an, Serpent Spear Douluo is a close friend of mine and Old Ghost in the Spirit Hall. Although he has a weapon spirit, he can transform into a spirit beast, which is somewhat similar to Yu Luomian's dragon transformation. He is a very good opponent."

Serpent Spear Douluo looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo with some displeasure: "Chrysanthemum Guan, how can you talk like that? It's just a mere Jade Luo Crown. If it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind me, I could kill it with a flick of my wrist."

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Serpent Spear Douluo. I'll be troubling you this time."

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded: "Yang Ping'an, you do have some ambition, actually wanting to challenge Yu Luomian. Although I look down on Soul Douluo like him who is stuck at level 89 his whole life, his dragon transformation still has some strength. You should be careful."

Yang Ping'an nodded slightly: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Serpent Spear."

Once the two sides started their soul-fighting competition, the atmosphere immediately became more serious. Even the Serpent Spear Douluo lost his smile and became somewhat arrogant.

"Yang Ping'an, you'd better watch out. I am the Serpent Spear Douluo, my martial soul is the Serpent Spear, and I am a level 94 Title Douluo."

After he finished speaking, a huge serpent spear immediately appeared in Serpent Spear Douluo's hand. It was estimated to be more than three meters long, and the tip of the spear looked exceptionally sharp and seemed to have a trace of sentience.

At the same time, it displayed two yellow, three purple, and four black spirit rings. The nine spirit rings gave people a great deal of pressure. The only one that was a little eye-catching was that the fifth spirit ring was purple.

Yang Ping'an was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the legendary Serpent Spear Douluo, who was supposedly at the bottom of the Title Douluo rankings, had actually reached level ninety-four. It seemed that the ten-thousand-year-old elixir he had given him back then did have some effect.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an's face also became unusually serious: "Senior, please be careful. Yang Ping'an, Martial Soul Golden Demon Dragon, Level 75 Power Attack Type Soul Saint, please give me your guidance."

After he finished speaking, a huge golden dragon immediately possessed him, and two yellow, two purple, two black and one red spirit rings appeared at the same time. In particular, when the seventh spirit ring appeared, even the many titled Douluos present felt extremely strong pressure.

Serpent Spear Douluo and the others were momentarily stunned: "A seventh spirit ring of 100,000 years, that's quite interesting."

After saying that, Serpent Spear Douluo gripped his serpent spear and thrust it forward. The air in the entire space seemed to be torn apart, and one could feel a sharp aura that seemed to pierce through one's body.

Yang Ping'an instantly transformed into a dragon, his limbs becoming extremely thick and covered with golden scales. In particular, his torso turned golden, as if it were covered with the reverse scales of a dragon.

This is Yang Ping'an's dragon transformation after entering the Soul Saint stage. Except for his head, his entire body can now be transformed into a dragon, greatly improving his combat power in all aspects.

However, Yang Ping'an has yet to figure out the most crucial part: the dragon transformation of the head. The manual given by Chrysanthemum Douluo also lacks the most critical and highest-level part.

At this moment, facing the Serpent Spear Douluo's thrust, Yang Ping'an transformed his hands into claws and grabbed forward with all his might. Instantly, his claws collided with the tip of the Serpent Spear, and his entire arm felt as if it were about to be pierced through, causing him excruciating pain.

In just the first move between the two, Yang Ping'an was forced back four or five meters, and a faint wound appeared on his claws.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but exclaim: As expected of a Title Douluo's attack, even without using a soul skill, its power is so great.

This was Yang Ping'an's first battle against a Title Douluo-level expert, and his strength was indeed formidable.

But Yang Ping'an was not afraid at all. In an instant, he pounced forward like a vicious dragon, grabbing at the target with all his might.

Serpent Spear Douluo was also a little shocked. He didn't expect that his spear would be blocked so easily. Although the difference in soul power between the two was close to twenty levels, their combat power was not that different.

Both sides charged at each other with all their might, each move seemingly aimed at tearing the opponent apart, unlike any ordinary sparring match.

As the battle continued, Yang Ping'an gradually became accustomed to fighting opponents at the Title Douluo level, and became increasingly adept at it.

However, the Serpent Spear Douluo Martial Soul was clearly extraordinary. In addition to its extremely strong tearing power, the Serpent Spear itself seemed to be very intelligent, as if it could attack him unexpectedly. Especially the tip of the Serpent Spear, its attacks were even more difficult to defend against, and he was almost ambushed several times.

After fighting continuously for five minutes, Yang Ping'an seemed to grow stronger with each battle, and his moves became increasingly refined.

However, the difference in soul power between the two sides is indeed very large, after all, there is a difference of twenty levels. If they cannot win quickly, it will probably be very difficult to fight later.

Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth and instantly used his third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Dragon Transformation, and his fourth soul skill, Tear Crocodile Claw, simultaneously. His limbs seemed to grow even larger, and he became incredibly fierce, with his claws becoming extremely sharp.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Ping'an used all his strength to grab forward, and instantly a golden "kill" character appeared, swiftly attacking the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Serpent Spear Douluo merely snorted coldly and thrust forward with all his might, seemingly tearing the entire space apart as it forcefully blocked the attack.

"Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Technique can actually be used with a beast spirit, that's quite interesting."

Yang Ping'an didn't care about that and continued to grab forward, sending out several golden "kill" characters in succession. They seemed to carry a trace of killing intent, but unexpectedly, the "kill" characters seemed to carry a trace of black aura, somewhat like the death aura in the Death Forest.

Serpent Spear Douluo was also formidable. The huge serpent spear in his hand instantly transformed into a strange serpent, charging forward with extraordinary force and directly blocking Yang Ping'an's Seven Kill Sword Technique.

When Yang Ping'an unleashed his fourth "Kill" attack, even the Serpent Spear Douluo was slightly alarmed. He immediately used his third soul skill, Nine Shadow Slashes, which produced nine unusual beams of light. These beams, likely from the Serpent Spear, collided head-on with Yang Ping'an's fourth "Kill" attack, causing both of them to retreat dozens of meters.

Serpent Spear Douluo suddenly shouted, "Yang Ping'an, you've been using the Seven Kill Sword Technique for so long, don't you have anything of your own?"

"Although the Seven Kill Sword Technique is powerful, Soul Masters should rely on their own unique skills; other people's skills are, after all, other people's skills."

Yang Ping'an instantly understood what Serpent Spear Douluo meant. The Seven Kill Sword Technique was indeed extremely powerful, and he liked it very much. However, he was ultimately a Beast Martial Soul and probably could not reach the pinnacle of the Seven Kill Sword Technique, especially since Serpent Spear Douluo could fight without fear even when facing Sword Douluo.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an roared, and a white light flew out from his body, filling the entire sky, directly facing his God of Slaughter Domain.

Under the domain of the God of Slaughter, even a powerful expert at the level of a Title Douluo will have their soul power greatly restricted.

However, Serpent Spear Douluo shouted loudly, and his whole body instantly became like a giant serpent spear, even transforming into a huge two-headed serpent, using his soul power to forcefully withstand the Killing God Domain.

Immediately afterwards, the serpent spear transformed into a strange snake that pounced over, as if it wanted to devour Yang Ping'an whole.

Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth, his sixth soul ring flashed, and a huge golden demonic dragon appeared in the sky, pouncing with all its might at the snake-spear Douluo in disguise. This was Yang Ping'an's sixth soul skill, Demonic Dragon True Form.

The enormous serpent and the golden dragon instantly clashed in mid-air, seemingly tearing at each other with all their might.

However, Yang Ping'an clearly felt that since the Serpent Spear Douluo transformed into a strange serpent, his strength and other aspects seemed to have increased significantly. This serpent spear truly lived up to its reputation as a top-grade martial soul. It not only possessed the attack power of a weapon martial soul, but also the amplification of the body by a beast martial soul. No wonder the Serpent Spear Douluo could become the only titled Douluo in history with a fifth soul ring after a thousand years. Indeed, every titled Douluo is not to be underestimated.

Just then, the enormous golden dragon in the sky opened its ferocious maw and spat out a golden light that seemed capable of melting away enemies. Even the strange serpent could not stop it. This was Yang Ping'an's sixth soul skill, the Dragon Breath.

Even with the formidable strength of Serpent Spear Douluo, he was almost caught off guard by Yang Ping'an's sudden second transformation of his sixth soul skill, and even his transformation into a strange snake seemed to be affected.

At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo was a little annoyed. He never expected that he, a titled Douluo, would be suppressed by a Soul Saint. It was too humiliating.

Thinking of this, Serpent Spear Douluo gripped his spear and became even more ferocious. It seemed as if countless energies in the sky began to surge into the spear, making the entire spear seem like the embodiment of lightning. Then, Serpent Spear Douluo thrust with all his might, as if countless bolts of lightning were piercing through. This was Serpent Spear Douluo's fifth soul skill: Thunderous Explosion Kill.

It seems that Serpent Spear Douluo is going all out from the start, and the power of this attack is astonishing. No wonder Serpent Spear Douluo chose a thousand-year spirit ring for his fifth spirit ring; it must have come from a top-tier spirit beast.

Yang Ping'an also used all his strength, using his fifth soul skill: Devouring Golden Dragon Break. Instantly, a huge golden dragon rushed towards the Serpent Spear Douluo's huge lightning. In particular, the golden dragon seemed to have an extremely strong suction power, and even the lightning began to weaken.

After exchanging this move, both Yang Ping'an and Serpent Spear Douluo retreated dozens of meters, indicating that the two sides were still evenly matched, and Yang Ping'an even had a slight advantage.

This is mainly because Yang Ping'an himself possesses a ten-thousand-year soul skill, while the Serpent Spear Douluo's soul skill is only a thousand-year skill. However, the Serpent Spear Douluo's soul power level is far higher than Yang Ping'an's, which is why they are ultimately evenly matched.

The Serpent Spear Douluo shouted, "Yang Ping'an, your soul skills are quite interesting. Now show me your true strength and let me see the power of your 100,000-year soul ring."

After speaking, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately used his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body. The serpent spear in his hand seemed to instantly become enormous, like a golden figure holding the spear, as if it could pierce through everything around him.

Yang Ping's face also turned extremely ferocious. His blood-red seventh soul ring flashed, and his entire body instantly transformed into a huge golden demonic dragon, which pounced forward with all its might. This was Yang Ping'an's seventh soul skill, Demonic Dragon True Form.

As the enormous golden serpent spear collided with the true form of the demonic dragon, the two sides engaged in a relentless tearing and collision.

Several minutes later, even though the Serpent Spear Douluo's soul power was extremely strong, he was ultimately unable to withstand the 100,000-year soul skill. He was directly grabbed and sent flying by the Golden Demon Dragon. In particular, the huge dragon shadow seemed to ignore the amplification of the Serpent Spear Martial Soul's own body defense and struck his body hard.

When the scene returned to calm, Serpent Spear Douluo returned to his usual calm demeanor, but a hideous wound on his arm looked rather unsightly.

Yang Ping'an was panting heavily, after all, the difference in soul power between the two sides was too great. Although Yang Ping'an was able to gain a certain advantage in soul skills, his soul power was ultimately suppressed.
