Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Feng Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother Yang, in fact, according to the opinions of the elders of our four families, we also want to establish a new Soul Master Academy, but unfortunately, we are ultimately lacking in financial resources and are afraid that it will be affected by other factors."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile, and then took out a large number of gold soul coin cards from his soul tool, each ranging from tens of thousands to millions, totaling dozens of cards. Even the people present were astonished.

Huo Wushuang was a little puzzled: "Brother Yang, these are probably worth tens of millions of gold soul coins. How do you get so much money?"

Yang Ping'an's lips twitched: "Brother Huo, have you forgotten that the place I went to train was the Slaughter City? There's nothing else there but the most dead people. Dead people always have something on them, especially the cheapest gold soul coins in the Slaughter City."

As Yang Ping'an said, although he only spent two short years in the City of Slaughter, he probably killed tens of thousands of people in those two years, and most of them were Soul Masters.

After killing people, although he didn't care about the corpses, he still took the treasures that were on them. Anyway, with the soul tool, it was very convenient to store them.

This resulted in Yang Ping'an having a considerable amount of wealth, making him quite a rich man. He even found two soul bones, but unfortunately, they were both thousand-year-old soul bones, which were like chicken bones (meaning they were useless).

Yang Ping'an is undoubtedly one of the richest people in the entire Douluo Continent right now. Not only does he have an astonishing amount of gold soul coins, but even excluding immortal herbs, he has mountains of various spiritual medicines. In addition, after the battle with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he has acquired six top-grade soul bones and a large number of treasures. In terms of assets, he probably far surpasses the four lower sects. If he really wanted to, he could easily take out hundreds of millions of gold soul coins.

"There are about 50 million gold soul coins here, which should be enough for you to do some construction. With your own resources and wealth, building a new soul master academy near Heaven Dou City should not be a problem."

Huo Wushuang looked somewhat conflicted: "Brother Feng, how can we accept so many gold soul coins from you? Besides, the amount is far too much; we might not be able to repay it in the future."

Yang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "The thing I care about the least in this world is gold soul coins. They are basically useless to me now. Consider these as a loan to you. You can pay me back whenever you have them. Of course, you can also consider it my investment in your Elemental Academy."

Before Huo Wushuang could say anything more, Shui Bing'er took the gold soul coin card from the side: "Thank you, Brother Yang. Consider this a loan from our Elemental Academy. We will definitely pay you back when we have the money in the future."

Yang Ping'an just smiled and said, "It's best not to tell anyone except your family elders about the gold soul coins I gave you. I might have some conflicts with some people in the future, which could cause you some trouble."

Shui Bing'er quickly spoke up: "Brother Yang, do you have some enemies to deal with? Although we are not very strong, we can still give you some help."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "My affairs involve too many people. It's best if you don't know, otherwise it might lead to disaster."

Although there was a hint of worry on everyone's faces, no one said anything more. After all, they were all from the Soul Master Academy, and Soul Master Academy generally maintained a relatively neutral stance and did not get involved in too many disputes in the Soul Master world.

The group continued drinking and chatting, getting more and more excited, especially when Yang Ping'an talked about some of the situations in the Killing City, which amazed them.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu even showed off their relationship, which indeed made everyone around them envious. Compared to her previous fiery and strong personality, Huo Wu seemed much gentler and weaker.

Yang Ping'an left only when everyone was slightly tipsy.

However, when Yang Ping'an was walking on the road, Shui Bing'er quickly caught up with him, seemingly in a hurry, which was completely unlike her usual calm personality.

Yang Ping'an was a little puzzled: "Miss Bing'er, it's best to rest well after drinking. Although Soul Masters don't care about the effects of alcohol, they still need to take care of their health."

A hint of determination seemed to appear on Shui Bing'er's face: "Brother Yang, can we talk alone?"

Yang Ping'an nodded and went directly to the top floor of his hotel, where there were only the two of them and a waiter serving tea.

Shui Bing'er took a sip of tea and asked with some concern, "Brother Yang, have you been suffering a lot in the Killing Capital these past few years? Has it been full of danger?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Although the City of Slaughter is full of dangers, I am still somewhat confident. Besides, I have many hidden trump cards to use in order to go to the City of Slaughter, so it is not too dangerous."

Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother Yang, do you still remember what we said five years ago?"

Yang Ping'an nodded, looking at Shui Bing'er in front of him, feeling a mix of emotions.

Shui Bing'er was a great beauty. Although she wasn't as dazzling as Huo Wu and Qian Renxue, she had a gentle personality, a pleasing appearance, and was extremely strong and talented. She was definitely the goddess that everyone dreamed of, and even Yang Ping'an was very tempted by her.

Since killing Yu Luomian, Yang Ping'an seemed to feel more exhilarated than ever before, but he also felt a void in his heart. In order to become stronger, he had been cultivating alone in various dangerous places over the years, and he was indeed a little lonely.

However, Yang Ping'an was also very clear that, given the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Soul Master world, emotions would only become a burden before absolute power was achieved, especially since Shui Bing'er was involved with the entire Tianshui Academy, making it a situation where a single move could affect the whole body.

Yang Ping'an remained silent for a while before speaking: "Miss Bing'er, I roughly understand your thoughts, but I'm already involved in too many things, and I don't want to drag you into this mess."

Shui Bing'er's face showed a resolute look: "Brother Yang, I know you have something important on your mind, but I am now a Soul Emperor, and I can definitely face it together with you."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh: "I'm sorry, my enemy is too powerful. I don't want to be implicated too much, nor do I want the people around me to be in danger."

"I won't be staying in Tiandou City for very long this time, maybe only a month or two at most. After that, I will go to a very dangerous place to train until I can defeat my opponent."

Shui Bing'er asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother Yang, who exactly is your enemy? You're already a Soul Saint. With your combat power, there shouldn't be many people in the world that you're so afraid of."

Yang Ping'an remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Tang Hao!"

Shui Bing'er was immediately astonished: "Haotian Douluo Tang Hao? How is this possible? Hasn't Haotian Douluo disappeared for countless years? And why would you become his enemy?"

Yang Ping'an nodded: "Tang Hao has indeed been missing for a long time, but I know very well that he should come to Tiandou City soon, after all, his son Tang San is here."

Shui Bing'er was a little puzzled: "But how could the missing Tang Hao have become your enemy? And if I remember correctly, you should be an orphan."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "Tang Hao used to live in seclusion in a place called Holy Soul Village. He was a blacksmith in the village, which was very close to my home in King Soul Village. Back then, when my father helped the villagers deliver things to Tang Hao for repair, he was killed on his way back. All signs indicate that Tang Hao was responsible, so I want to find him for an answer."

Shui Bing'er quickly spoke up, "Brother Yang, Tang Hao is a Title Douluo after all. Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go find him?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Tang Hao was severely injured in the Spirit Hall back then, losing an arm. He probably still has the fighting power of a Title Douluo. Over the years, I have gained some survival skills through training. Facing a Title Douluo should not be a problem. At least he can't do anything to me."

In fact, Yang Ping'an came to Tiandou City this time mainly to find an answer.

When his father died, although all signs pointed to Tang Hao as the culprit, and even had a motive, Yang Ping'an himself always regarded Tang Hao as his imaginary enemy.

However, things are unpredictable, and no evidence was left at the scene, making it impossible to definitively identify Tang Hao as the perpetrator.

Tang Hao himself is always elusive and impossible to find. He can only appear when Tang San establishes the Tang Sect. Otherwise, if you want to find Tang Hao next time, you will probably have to force your way into the Clear Sky Sect, which has a total of six Title Douluos.

Yang Ping'an stayed in Tiandou City for so long specifically to wait for Tang Hao. He needed to find an answer first; otherwise, he would be in trouble if he had chosen the wrong enemy.

Moreover, the Heaven Dou Palace Incident was the turning point of everything. Given Tang San's current situation, especially without Dugu Bo, it was impossible for him not to show up. You must know that Tang Hao is not like the one who lost an arm and a leg in the original story. In addition, he is the only Title Douluo by Tang San's side.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er seemed to have a hint of fear on her face, and her face was full of worry. After all, Tang Hao was a person who dominated an era and could be called a true master.

"Brother Yang, your enemy really is Tang Hao, a true Title Douluo powerhouse."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "I came to Tiandou City this time just to get an answer, I won't really fight him to the death."

"After all, Tang Hao is backed by the Haotian Sect, and possibly even the entire Tiandou Empire. It would be best if you and Tianshui Academy didn't get involved."

Shui Bing'er remained silent for a while, then a resolute look appeared on her face: "Brother Yang, could you take me with you next time you go on your training? I also want to become stronger and truly keep up with you."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "Perhaps the place I go to for training next time will be even more dangerous than the City of Slaughter. Do you want to come with me?"

Shui Bing'er nodded: "I'm not afraid of danger. A Soul Master can't truly grow without facing danger."

Shui Bing'er was already extremely beautiful, especially after drinking some wine, she was slightly tipsy, with a little red on her face, and with her light blue hair, she looked even more charming. Even Yang Ping'an couldn't help but want to touch her face.

Finally, Yang Ping'an gently stroked Shui Bing'er's hair: "Alright, as long as you're not afraid of danger, it will definitely help you grow a lot."

As if he had thought of something, Yang Ping'an took out a jade box from his hand. Even though it had just been taken out, the whole room seemed to be filled with cold air.

Back when Yang Ping'an was at the Yin-Yang Well, there were two very special immortal herbs. In a prominent position in the Yang Spring was the top-grade fire-attribute immortal herb, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, while in a prominent position in the Yin Spring was the top-grade ice-attribute immortal herb we are now presenting: the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower.

"Bing'er, I obtained this Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower by chance. It is a top-grade ice-attribute spiritual herb. Your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul has a slight flaw and is inherently deficient. This Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower should be able to make up for your flaw and may even make your Martial Soul stronger."

The Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower resembles a giant sunflower, but it is entirely white, like a proud ice phoenix, appearing exceptionally ethereal and extraordinary. Even Shui Bing'er felt a slight tremor in the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

"Brother Yang, this is too expensive, I cannot accept it."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "This is just something I obtained occasionally, and it has no use to me. I don't have any ice-attribute soul masters around me. Besides, if they want to go out with me for training, they have to be strong enough, otherwise they will easily hold me back."

Shui Bing'er then accepted the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower.

"This Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower is quite special. You should swallow it directly and guide it with your soul power. Do not chew it. There may be some pain during the process, but you must be able to endure it, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced."

"Also, don't let anyone know about this for now, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Shui Bing'er then nodded.

The two continued talking for a while before Shui Bing'er reluctantly put away the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower and left the room.

Watching Shui Bing'er's departing figure, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh: "After all, I'm still just an ordinary person, and I can't completely suppress all hatred in my heart."
