Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 15 Obtaining the Token

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Yang Ping'an was entering the final year of his fifth grade, his soul power finally broke through to level ten.

Yang Ping'an was extremely excited at this moment, and also felt a sense of relief from the breakthrough. You should know that he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of soul power before the holiday, but this final bottleneck had stuck Yang Ping'an for more than a month.

While he was extremely excited about this breakthrough, he also understood the gap between his innate soul power and aptitude. The higher a soul master's innate soul power, the easier it is to break through bottlenecks, and in some cases, there may not even be any bottlenecks in the early stages.

He has only broken through to level ten and is already encountering a bottleneck. If he really reaches the level of an advanced Soul Master, it will be even more difficult to break through.

Yang Ping'an gradually understood the reason for this difference. Under normal circumstances, the level of innate soul power often represents the blockage of the meridians in the body. The higher the level of innate soul power of a soul master, the smoother the meridians in the body.

Yang Ping'an was the same; his soul power circulation was very sluggish, and his soul power circulation speed was significantly slower than that of others.

After a moment of excitement, Yang Ping'an began to think about how to obtain a spirit ring.

After five years of study, Yang Ping'an has a relatively clear goal for obtaining a spirit ring.

Based on Yu Xiaogang's situation, as the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his spirit rings should definitely be top-quality and excellent, especially those with a sub-dragon attribute. However, this approach is clearly not feasible. Given the strength of the dragon attribute in the bloodline of the Purple Gold Mastiff, one or two dragon attribute spirit rings are not very useful. At least five or more are needed, or one could find a dragon attribute spirit ring that can devour other creatures.

Given Yang Ping'an's current strength and status, he has no backing, no money, and not even combat experience. It would be extremely difficult for him to obtain a high-level spirit ring, and even a common hundred-year spirit ring would be very difficult.

The only way is to follow the path of metal attribute. If you obtain metal attribute soul rings in the early stages, at least you won't get any farting-type soul skills.

Of course, it would be even better if there were gold-attribute soul beasts, but unfortunately, soul beasts of that level are extremely rare.

The next morning, Yang Ping'an went to Director Su of the Academic Affairs Office to apply for a warrant to hunt for a spirit ring.

There are also captive soul beast forests near Notting City, but the soul beasts there are generally not very high-level, at most only thousand-year-old soul beasts, let alone any dragon-type soul beasts.

But Yang Ping'an has no other way now. There is no other way to obtain a spirit ring except through this method, let alone go to the Star Dou Great Forest, which would be no different from courting death.

In addition to needing to be provided by the academy, the Soul Hunter's Token also requires the signatures of three nobles. However, this is not too difficult, as most of the students at Notting Elementary School come from noble families.

Yang Ping'an usually kept to himself and didn't interact with those aristocratic children. He was too lazy to go looking for them, so he simply went directly to Director Su of the Academic Affairs Office. Asking for help himself was not as good as Director Su's word.

When Yang Ping'an arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, Director Su happened to be there, along with two other teachers.

Director Su was surprised to hear that Yang Ping'an wanted to apply for a warrant to hunt for a spirit ring. He didn't expect Yang Ping'an to become a spirit master so quickly.

Director Su looked at Yang Ping'an with some doubt and said, "Yang Ping'an, I can give you the token, but how are you going to obtain the spirit ring? The Soul Hunting Forest is far too dangerous. Our academy organizes several spirit ring hunting expeditions every year. Why don't you come along?"

"Thank you, Director Su. I have already asked some people, and we should be able to obtain a good soul ring."

Seeing this, Director Su could only nod. Although he thought highly of Yang Ping'an, obtaining a soul ring was of great importance and he still needed to make the decision himself.

Moreover, although the school organizes people to hunt for spirit rings, most of them are ten-year spirit rings, and only a few lucky ones will get a hundred-year spirit ring. In addition, these are for students that the academy values ​​highly, in other words, some top students or students who have a special relationship with the academy and are given special training.

"Yang Ping'an, obtaining the warrant requires the signatures of three nobles. Have you found any of their signatures?"

Yang Pingan could only shake his head: "Director, I'll go ask my classmates for a solution now."

Director Su looked at Yang Ping'an's expression. He had been secretly observing Yang Ping'an and naturally understood that Yang Ping'an didn't have much interaction with his classmates: "How about this, don't go looking for those aristocratic classmates. Come to me tomorrow to get the warrant."

"Thank you, Director Su."

After expressing his gratitude, Yang Ping'an left the teaching office alone.

When Yang Ping'an arrived at the Academic Affairs Office the next day, in addition to Director Su, Yu Xiaogang and Dean Wu were also chatting there, and were even discussing something.

When Director Su saw Yang Ping'an arrive, he introduced him: "Yang Ping'an, this is Yu Xiaogang, also known as Master. He is an expert in martial spirit research and can guide you on the direction of obtaining spirit rings."

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly: "Greetings, Master."

Yu Xiaogang's expression remained unchanged, and he simply nodded slightly: "Your martial soul is the same as mine. If possible, it would be best to find a dragon-type soul beast. Unfortunately, this type of soul beast is very rare. If all else fails, the Purple-Gold Mastiff has a keen sense of smell. You can develop in the direction of investigation and find some soul beasts with strong senses, such as canine soul beasts."

Yang Ping'an's expression didn't change much. Instead, he quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. This is exactly one of my goals."

After receiving the warrant and leaving the teaching office, Yang Ping'an's smiling face immediately turned somewhat gloomy: What kind of bullshit suggestion is this Yu Xiaogang making? This kind of advice is simply misleading people. Anyone in the world with a beast soul wants to find dragon-type soul beasts, yet he actually suggests developing in the direction of exploration? The Purple-Gold Mastiff is already very sensitive to auras, what use is finding a canine soul beast?

Meanwhile, Principal Wu and the other two continued their conversation.

Principal Wu seemed a little puzzled: "Director Su, I remember Yang Ping'an comes from a poor family. How could he obtain a spirit ring? Why couldn't he participate in the spirit ring hunt organized by our academy?"

Director Su sighed, "This Yang Ping'an has always been a loner and cultivates very diligently. I reckon he wants a hundred-year soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly: "This kid is a bit too ambitious. An ordinary commoner wants a hundred-year spirit ring, and obtaining a hundred-year spirit ring suitable for a Purple Gold Mastiff is probably very difficult."

Upon hearing this, the other two simply shook their heads. According to Yu Xiaogang, a hundred-year soul ring was simply not something an ordinary person could obtain.

After receiving the warrant, Yang Ping'an went to the blacksmith shop to get some tools and prepared to hunt for spirit rings.

Although Yang Ping'an doesn't have much money now, he still has several dozen gold soul coins after accumulating for so many years.

Especially since the items were so heavy, Yang Ping'an spent half a gold soul coin to rent a carriage to go to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest.

Yang Ping'an had prepared for this acquisition of a spirit ring for a long time, with all kinds of tools at his disposal, including some necessities for living in the spirit beast forest, such as dry food, water bags, mosquito repellent bags, and powerful spirit beast droppings, as well as some special tools.

All the items added up to a large bag. This skill ensured that he could survive in the Soul Beast Forest for a period of time and also ensured that he had a certain amount of attack power.
