Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

No matter how powerful Yang Ping'an was, he still had great respect for Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.

Yang Ping'an was also a little surprised: "Master, Uncle, why are you at home? Shouldn't you be on the front lines of the Spirit Empire?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, however, was unconcerned: "The situation at the front has been very good recently. The Spirit Empire has occupied a large part of the Heaven Dou Empire's territory. The two sides are currently in a stalemate, so we two plan to come back and rest for a while."

Yang Ping'an quickly asked, "Master, Uncle-Master, are you injured? What's the situation at the front? Have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky School all joined the battle?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head slightly: "Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sent out many direct lineage soul masters, they are probably only half as strong as the others. Sword Douluo is probably still recovering from serious injuries and did not participate in the battle. Bone Douluo is more defensive and cannot pose a great threat."

"Almost all the titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect have participated in the battle, but Tang Chen is still nowhere to be seen."

Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something: "Did Tang San show up? He should be a Title Douluo too, right?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but sigh: "New talents emerge in every generation. This Tang San is indeed a Title Douluo, and I think his soul power has reached level 97. His Clear Sky Hammer currently has four black and five red soul rings, which is indeed extremely powerful. Many Title Douluo elders have been injured by him, and even Old Ghost and I were seriously injured when we fought him."

Yang Ping'an was also surprised. He hadn't expected Tang San's talent to be so extraordinary, reaching level 97 so quickly. However, Tang San had already absorbed all the spirit rings and probably already had spirit bones all over his body. Therefore, he would not be able to improve his strength by absorbing spirit rings in the short term.

It's important to know that advancing from level 97 to level 99 is far more difficult than cultivating one's entire body to level 97. If Tang San wants to cross these two levels, it will probably take him several decades to complete.

Chrysanthemum Douluo continued, "Ping An, why did you suddenly return to Wuhun City? Is there something you need to take care of?"

Yang Ping'an's expression also became a bit serious: "Master, Uncle-Master, the main reason I came to Wuhun City this time is to challenge the Grand Elder."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were immediately surprised: "Ping An, what are you thinking? This is Spirit City. Tang Chen was defeated by the Grand Elder back then. Tell others that you are still young."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "Master, I've recently had some good opportunities, and my soul power has reached level ninety-nine, so I want to challenge the Grand Elder as a way to hone myself."

"About a year ago, Tang Chen and I actually fought once. Our strengths were about the same, and now I am confident that I can defeat Tang Chen."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this. Although they were both level 97, they had never dared to dream of breaking through to level 99, let alone challenging a level 99 expert.

Ghost Douluo seemed unusually serious: "Ping An, are you really sure you want to challenge the Grand Elder? In this Spirit City, the Grand Elder should be invincible. After all, this is the place where the Angel God's legacy is passed down."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo are both veteran Title Douluo elders who know many secrets of the Spirit Hall. In fact, given their combined time, they could have already entered the Hall of Worship.

Yang Ping'an smiled slightly: "Uncle-Master, I just returned from Seagod Island. I challenged Seagod Douluo Poseidon and barely managed to win."

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo couldn't help but swallow hard. Poseidon was known as the invincible sea. Fifty or sixty years ago, Qian Daoliu and others had been defeated by Poseidon. There were even rumors that no one other than a level 100 expert could defeat Poseidon on the sea. Unexpectedly, Yang Ping'an actually did it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was also filled with doubt, wondering just what kind of monster his disciple was. After all, Yang Ping'an was only in his twenties, and for the next hundred years, he would probably be the strongest person on the entire Douluo Continent.

Ghost Douluo seemed to have thought of something: "Ping An, are you challenging the three Limit Douluos from back then? Are you going to challenge Tang Chen next?"

Yang Ping'an remained silent for a while before speaking: "Master, Uncle-Master, you should know about my grudges with the Haotian Sect. It has come to this point, and I'm afraid only one of us can survive. So after challenging the Grand Elder, I plan to challenge Tang Chen. This may be a life-or-death battle."

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly said, "No, Ping An, you still underestimate Tang Chen. If it's just an ordinary Soul Master battle, Tang Chen might only be slightly stronger than the Great Elder, but Tang Chen has his self-created Soul Skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer, which is the legendary Ring Explosion. If he were to fight to the death, I'm afraid no one in the world could be his match."

Yang Ping'an said, "It's too late to say these things now. I've killed too many people from the Haotian Sect. I killed Tang Hao and Tang Lie, and I also killed Titan and Bai He, and seriously injured Yang Wudi and Niu Gao. We've long been at odds with each other."

Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to suddenly realize something: "No wonder I didn't see Tang Lie or the patriarchs of the four single-attribute families on the battlefield. It turns out they were either seriously injured or killed by you. But how could you seriously injure Yang Wudi? After all, he still has some connection with you."

Yang Ping'an's face turned cold: "It wasn't me who went to find them, it was them who found me in Sunset Forest. Since they want to cause me trouble, they should be prepared to get hurt or even die, no matter who it is."

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo fell silent upon hearing this. If Yang Ping'an was merely forced to retaliate, then there was indeed nothing to say.

"Master and Uncle, please pass on a message to the Grand Elder for me, saying that I would like to challenge him to a duel."

Seeing that Yang Ping'an seemed to have made up his mind, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Next, Yang Ping'an discussed some cultivation matters with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. However, the discussion was mainly about exchanging ideas, with Yang Ping'an even giving guidance to Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. The three of them were quite friendly and didn't stand on ceremony.

Early the next morning, Yang Ping'an followed Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to the Hall of Offerings again, but this time Yang Ping'an took the lead throughout.

After the three arrived at the Hall of Offerings, Yang Ping'an walked in front, with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo following behind him on either side. Judging from their expressions, they still seemed extremely worried.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the offering hall, Yang Ping'an presented the visiting card and had the gatekeeper hand it over to Qian Daoliu.

Throughout the entire process, although Yang Ping'an secretly did a lot of things for the Spirit Hall, most of it was done in the form of cooperation. He did not join the Spirit Hall, so it was more convenient to present his invitation as a guest. Both of them were level 99 Limit Douluo in the Douluo Continent.

After the visiting card was handed over, the doors of the ancestral hall were flung open, and a dignified voice rang out: "Come in!"

Yang Ping'an glanced back at Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, signaling the two to relax, and then walked into the Hall of Worship alone, since it was inconvenient for Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to stand next to Yang Ping'an given his status.

The entire hall was now extremely solemn. Qian Daoliu stood at the highest point in the center of the hall, below him stood six extremely tall men, each radiating extremely strong soul power. These were the six great elders.

Qian Renxue stood to the side, her expression seemingly rather unpleasant.

The entire hall seemed extremely oppressive, especially the huge angel statue behind Qian Daoliu, which emitted a golden light and appeared extremely solemn and majestic.

After entering the Hall of Worship, Yang Ping'an bowed slightly to the center of the hall: "Greetings to the Grand Elder, greetings to the Six Elders, and greetings to Miss Qian Renxue."

Qian Daoliu appeared incredibly dignified: "Yang Ping'an, is it you who wants to challenge me? You should know that in my eyes you are just a child."

Yang Ping'an said, "Yes, Grand Elder, I would like to invite you to a battle according to the rules of the Soul Master world. The location will be decided by you. Please grant my request."

The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, suddenly spoke up in the center of the hall: "How dare you! You, a mere child, dare to challenge my elder brother? At least show us your strength first, otherwise, what are we, the six elders, but merely decorations?"

As Golden Crocodile Douluo finished speaking, a giant golden crocodile king seemed to fly out from beside him, displaying two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit rings, indicating that his spirit power had reached level ninety-eight.

Yang Ping'an's face darkened slightly: "Second Elder Golden Crocodile Douluo, I think I don't need to consult with you six elders."

As Yang Ping'an finished speaking, the enormous golden dragon soared into the sky, radiating boundless dragon might, and displaying five black and four red soul rings, which could even faintly rival the divine power of the angels in the Hall of Worship.

Everyone present changed their expressions slightly. Although the Second Elder's soul power had reached level 98, he only had an ordinary soul ring configuration. Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, had soul rings that were all over 10,000 years old, and even had four 100,000-year soul rings. Even Qian Daoliu seemed to feel a bit of pressure.

Qian Daoliu suddenly spoke up: "You must have more than just this kind of spirit ring configuration, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to reach the Limit Douluo level in your twenties."

Yang Ping'an smiled slightly. In terms of knowledge, Qian Daoliu was indeed much better than others, after all, he was also the High Priest of the Angel God.

Yang Ping'an withdrew his Golden Dragon Martial Soul and Soul Rings, and his entire body instantly turned black, radiating an incredibly powerful black aura. At the same time, he displayed a Soul Ring configuration of three red, one black, and four red rings, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.

In particular, Yang Ping'an's black aura seemed to be resisting the golden light emanating from the angel statue, as if the angel's light was being subtly absorbed by the black aura.

Qian Daoliu seemed to show a hint of admiration, clapping his hands: "Not bad, what a powerful soul ring configuration. I never thought that besides Bibi Dong and Tang San, there would be someone in this world with twin martial souls, and you have basically cultivated twin martial souls to the great perfection. It seems that you are indeed qualified to challenge me."

"One more thing, Yang Ping'an, your luck seems to be quite good. I didn't expect you to be a successor of the gods. Did you come to challenge me to complete the gods' test?"

Yang Ping'an glanced at Qian Renxue beside him, a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "Yes, High Priest, I came to challenge you precisely because of the God's inheritance test."

Qian Daoliu seemed a little puzzled: "Your assessment shouldn't be that simple, right? You probably don't just want to challenge me alone."

Yang Ping'an said, "My assessment consists of challenging Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, the Angel Douluo Grand Elder, and Tang Chen, the Haotian Douluo. I have already finished challenging Senior Poseidon. After that, I will challenge Tang Chen."

Qian Daoliu seemed to show a hint of nostalgia: "I didn't expect you to have already defeated Poseidon. It seems I need to get serious. I am known as the invincible in the sky. We will fight in the skies above Wuhun City in three days."

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Elder."

After saying that, Yang Ping'an prepared to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, this matter concerns your assessment. Aren't you afraid I'll avoid the battle?"

Yang Ping'an remained calm: "Given your character, you would naturally not deliberately avoid battle. Moreover, compared to me, you have more concerns. Of course, if you were to pass away prematurely, my assessment would naturally be considered complete."

The six elders and Qian Renxue were immediately enraged upon hearing this, but Qian Daoliu's expression became even more serious. Compared to the others, he understood the meaning behind Yang Ping'an's words better than anyone else. (End of Chapter)
