Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After hearing Yang Ping'an's analysis of Ma Hongjun, Flander was also extremely worried. Although he had always known that Ma Hongjun had problems, he never thought that the problems would be so serious.

In recent years, Ma Hongjun has been going to brothels more and more frequently, and he has become increasingly fat. Although he has reached the Soul Master realm, the gap between him and others is widening. His soul power level is even lower than that of Ning Rongrong, who is a support-type character. Ning Rongrong is currently spending a lot of time learning how to manage the sect.

Flander became increasingly worried, after all, from the perspective of all the students, Ma Hongjun was his true disciple, and both of them even had flying beast martial souls, so they could accept his inheritance.

"Yang, could you please advise on how Hongjun can overcome the evil fire within him? Or, besides absorbing a spirit ring, are there any other ways to alleviate his symptoms?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "The best way is if every soul ring he absorbs is a fire-attribute bird soul beast with phoenix bloodline, it might make up for the serious deficiency of his martial soul. But right now, there probably isn't any good way."

"Of course, as a Soul Master, I suggest he reduce his visits to brothels as much as possible. In addition, he needs to train hard. Perhaps with the improvement of his physical fitness, he can gradually overcome his psychological dependence and even slowly control his evil fire."

"If all else fails, I suggest you take your beloved disciple to the far north. The extremely cold weather there might be able to effectively suppress the evil fire within him."

Flander nodded, and even Yu Xiaogang was a little surprised. Clearly, they approved of Yang Ping'an's two methods, as they were indeed feasible.

However, the two were even more frustrated. One was a master who was known as the most invincible in the theory of the Soul Master world, and the other was the dean of an advanced Soul Master Academy. They were actually no match for a student's understanding of Martial Soul and cultivation.

Flander glanced at Ma Hongjun beside him and almost wanted to punch him. In terms of talent, he was definitely among the top in Shrek Academy. In terms of explosive power, he could even be said to be the strongest among them. However, he was rather lazy and his cultivation speed was the slowest. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so fat.

Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine, because no matter which method Yang Ping'an used, he was going to suffer.

Yu Xiaogang, as if struck by a thought, suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, based on your analysis of my martial soul, could Ma Hongjun and I both use the environment to control it?"

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. This Yu Xiaogang was quite interesting; he actually had this kind of reaction at this moment, which did have a certain theoretical basis.

"That's right, it's possible. If Mr. Yu Xiaogang is suited to the environment in which the dragon race lives, or if Ma Hongjun can find a suitable environment for the fire phoenix to grow, it is indeed possible."

"However, if I remember correctly, Luo Sanpao is not a fully formed Golden Sacred Dragon. There shouldn't be a metal and light attribute environment in this world that is extremely suitable for his cultivation. Ma Hongjun could consider going to Flame Canyon to cultivate, which is the Blazing Fire Academy. With the Blazing Fire Academy's research on fire, they might be able to come up with a good solution."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized: "So this is why you left your martial soul at the blacksmith shop when you were in the junior soul master academy? So you had already thought of this method."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "That's true. In the early stages of a Soul Master's cultivation, especially before the Martial Soul absorbs a Soul Ring, it is indeed possible."

"Unfortunately, you grew up in Thunder Canyon of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. The lightning attribute is extremely strong there, but there is not much metal or light attribute. It may even inhibit the growth of your martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was indeed unsuitable for Luo Sanpao's cultivation.

A moment of silence fell over the scene, especially since Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been somewhat provoked, and his face looked rather unpleasant.

Ma Hongjun quickly spoke up: "Brother Yang, may I ask if there are any other methods besides the one you just mentioned? For example, using external aids or something?"

Yang Ping'an nodded: "Yes, there is, but given your circumstances, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Flander quickly said, "If any external aids are of any use, I will try my best to find a way. Please let me know, Yang."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother? My method is indeed quite difficult. Let me put it this way, if you can find a top-grade fire-attribute spiritual herb or a top-grade fire-attribute soul bone, especially a head soul bone, you might get unexpected results."

"Ma Hongjun's fire attribute is not pure enough, which is why he has evil fire. If he can find a fire attribute spiritual medicine, he can indeed make the flame in his body purer. However, such spiritual medicine must be at least ten thousand years old, which can be said to be priceless."

"In addition, if it is a fire-attribute soul bone, it can also improve the body, especially the head soul bone, and can even increase the body's mental resistance, which may have unexpected good effects."

Flander and Ma Hongjun were stunned when they heard this. These two methods were indeed theoretically feasible, but they were simply not something they could do.

Actually, Yang Ping'an had another method: Ma Hongjun could find a girl with a top-grade ice-attribute martial soul to cultivate with, which would also help suppress the evil fire within him. Given the current situation on the entire Douluo Continent, probably only Shui Bing'er could do that. However, Yang Ping'an would never allow Shui Bing'er to be harmed by someone like Ma Hongjun, not even for the slightest reason.

A few minutes later, Yang Ping'an finally spoke: "That's about enough. You should know what you wanted to know. I don't have time to tell you any more. Let's call it a day."

"However, Dean Flander, Mr. Yu Xiaogang, you'd better also fulfill the request I made. If you don't see Tang Hao within a month, or if you don't convey the message, it might cause unnecessary trouble, and I might have to take some relatively extreme measures."

Seeing a hint of murderous intent in Yang Ping'an's eyes, Flander quickly said, "Don't worry, Yang, I will definitely pass on your words to Tang San. However, we will have to wait for Tang Hao's reply. In any case, I will give you an explanation."

Yang Ping'an nodded slightly. Talking to businessmen is clear; the other party also understands that this is just a transaction, and if the two sides are not equal in strength, they are not qualified to trade.

At this moment, Dai Mubai suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, Yang Ping'an, could you please tell me what you said to Zhu Qing a few days ago? She's been looking sullen these past few days."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "It's nothing serious. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong came to visit that day. We knew each other back then, so we chatted casually. Of course, we also talked about the current situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Dai Mubai seemed a little angry: "How is that possible? If you hadn't told her, why would she have been so resistant to me these past few days?"

Yang Ping'an merely glanced at Dai Mubai, a hint of intense killing intent flashing in his eyes. Even though Dai Mubai had already reached the Soul King realm, he seemed to tremble slightly inwardly.

Flander quickly stepped in front of Dai Mubai: "Student Yang, Dai Mubai has been having some problems with his cultivation lately. I hope you can understand."

Yang Ping'an simply snorted coldly, and a murderous intent seemed to fill the entire space. Even Flander felt a chill run down his spine: "I don't know what happened between you, and I don't want to have anything to do with anyone from Shrek Academy, especially this Dai Mubai. There were many people meeting him that day. If you have any questions, go ask Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong. I don't have time to deal with you."

Before Dai Mubai could speak, Flander quickly patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder. Dai Mubai instantly felt as if a thousand-pound weight was on his shoulder, and his entire soul power seemed to be suppressed.

"Of course, of course. Please rest assured, Yang, I will definitely educate Mu Bai properly when we get back. But if there are any further problems..."

Then, led by Flander, Dai Mubai and the others left the room.

Yang Pingan watched the group leave and couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at all the people at Shrek Academy, only Dean Flander has any brains and knows how to assess the situation. No wonder he was able to make Shrek Academy so successful. He truly is a rare and shrewd businessman.

As for the others, Liu Erlong is obsessed with love, Yu Xiaogang has ambitions but no practical experience, and as for Dai Mubai and the like, they are just a bunch of reckless fools. I really doubt how they became gods with such mental fortitude.

After leaving the room, Flander, who had been smiling slightly, immediately became extremely serious: "Mu Bai, unless there are special circumstances, try not to provoke this Yang Ping'an. Even if you see him on the street, take a detour immediately."

Dai Mubai, somewhat unconvinced, spoke up: "Dean, is it really necessary to be so wary of this Yang Ping'an? He's not much older than me, and how much stronger can he be?"

Flander shook his head: "Mu Bai, Yang Ping'an is already a high-level Soul Saint."

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Xiaogang were all surprised. Their soul power was too low to know Yang Ping'an's true strength.

"Dean, you're not joking, are you? Yang Ping'an is only a year older than me, how could he possibly have reached the Soul Saint level?"

Flander's expression turned extremely solemn: "I never expected that in just five years, Yang Ping'an would have increased his soul power by more than thirty levels. It's terrifying, especially the hint of killing intent he showed just now. Even I felt a little scared. In terms of strength, I'm afraid even I might not be his match."

They couldn't help but swallow hard; being surpassed so much by someone their own age was truly disheartening.

Flander continued, "I don't know why, but I feel like Yang Ping'an is a bit hostile towards us, especially when Erlong was speaking just now. I felt his killing intent was particularly strong. I wonder if he has some kind of grudge against Erlong."

When Yang Ping'an returned to his room, his face was somewhat gloomy. He really had no interest in the Shrek Academy members. If anyone dared to oppose him in the future, he would simply kill them all.

However, all three members of the Golden Iron Triangle are present now. The three of them combined have a combat power of barely reaching the level of a Title Douluo, and they are currently in Heaven Dou City, so they cannot make a move.

In the following days, apart from his daily meditation, Yang Ping'an either drank and chatted with Feng Xiaotian and the others, or went shopping with Shui Bing'er. Although the two seemed very indifferent, the distance between them seemed to have been invisibly shortened.

After Shui Bing'er consumed the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower, her entire body became like an ice sculpture, as if her body and martial soul had been frozen solid.

A full day passed before the ice sculpture shattered completely, and a giant ice phoenix flew out of her body, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. It was clear that this was the real ice phoenix, while the previous ice phoenix martial souls were merely superficial.

In fact, judging from Shui Bing'er's top-grade ice-attribute martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, her aptitude in the entire Soul Master Competition was definitely among the top three, or even the strongest, and probably no weaker than Tang San.

Unfortunately, her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was not fully awakened, which is why Shui Bing'er has always been a control-type Soul Master rather than a power-attack-type Soul Master. Otherwise, given the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul's attack power and extremely strong ice attribute, she would probably be stronger than Yan from the Spirit Hall.

After consuming the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower, Shui Bing'er seemed to become more confident, and her originally gentle face began to be filled with sharpness.
