Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 22 Intermediate Soul Master Academy

After obtaining the storage ring, Yang Ping'an used his soul power to sense and retrieve all the items inside.

First was a lead box, which, although only about a meter long, weighed over a hundred kilograms. Upon opening the box, a beam of yellow light shone out, illuminating the entire room.

Inside is the very soul bone that put his father in such a predicament, the same soul bone he obtained when acquiring his sixth soul ring—a 15,000-year-old dragon-dragon right arm soul bone.

At any time, a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is a treasure of a soul master. If this soul bone were to be auctioned, it would probably be worth at least several million gold soul coins, or even tens of millions of gold soul coins.

Without saying a word, Yang Ping'an placed the soul bone on his right arm, ready to begin absorbing it.

The absorption of soul bones is not limited by age or soul power level, but because the danger factor is too high, once exposed, it is easy to attract the covetousness of a large number of people. Therefore, the soul master world rarely allows low-level soul masters to absorb soul bones.

But Yang Ping'an couldn't care less about that. Soul bones represented an increase in strength, and no matter what he wanted to do in the future, strength was everything. Rather than letting them gather dust in his hands, he might as well absorb them directly.

Especially the ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, which have a great effect on both physical fitness and future cultivation.

It took a whole day to absorb this soul bone. This is because ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are incredibly powerful, and normally only soul kings and above can obtain them.

After absorbing the soul bone, Yang Ping'an's soul power increased by two levels, and he has now reached level seventeen, especially the power of his right hand has been greatly enhanced.

At the same time, Yang Ping'an also obtained a good soul bone skill: Dragon Flood Claw. When using this soul bone skill, his right hand can transform into a dragon claw to deliver a powerful blow to the enemy.

As expected of a ten-thousand-year soul bone, it is probably a top-grade ten-thousand-year soul bone skill. No wonder Yu Luomian coveted this soul bone so much.

After fully adapting to the soul bone, Yang Ping'an began to examine the other items in the soul tool.

There are many books about cultivation, including methods for cultivating dragon-type martial spirits, as well as some medicinal bath recipes. These recipes should be passed down from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. I don't know how my father got his hands on them.

As for those pills and herbs, they were clearly accumulated by the father over many years, probably for his own future.

Finally, there's a large amount of Soul Coins. All the Gold Soul Coins added up to about 80,000. For a Soul Emperor-level expert to only have 80,000 Gold Soul Coins in assets is quite a small amount.

Over the next few days, Yang Ping'an studied various books while also getting used to the function of the soul bone in his right hand.

Since absorbing the soul bone, I feel that my cultivation speed has increased slightly, especially when my soul power is circulating in my body or hands. It feels like the meridians in my arms have become more unobstructed.

As for those so-called cultivation books, Yang Ping'an only glanced at them. These were all from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and practicing too much of them would easily attract attention.

After staying in Wanghun Village for more than ten days, Yang Ping'an left again with his pack. Except for the larger items, all other items were stored in the pack.

At this stage, Yang Ping'an is only an ordinary Soul Master, and his strength is too weak to properly safeguard something like a Soul Tool. Every storage Soul Tool is extremely valuable.

As for the original story, Tang San and his group, despite their young age, possessed soul-removing tools and were able to roam freely without attracting anyone's covetousness. This was probably because Tang Hao, Flander, and Zhao Wuji drove away a large number of troublemakers.

After traveling for half a month, Yang Ping'an finally arrived at his destination, the intermediate soul master academy where he would live and study for the next three years.

Yang Ping'an thought about it for a long time and finally decided to join the Beast Academy, which is one of the best choices at this stage.

The Beast Academy is located in the Beast City of the Barak Kingdom, about 400 kilometers away from Soto City. The entire Beast City was built around the Beast Academy.

This city includes the Advanced Soul Master Academy for Beasts and the Intermediate Soul Master Academy for Beasts, as well as many Elementary Soul Master Academyes.

Yang Ping'an carefully selected this Beast Academy, primarily because it had a relatively powerful backer.

The dean of the Beast Academy, Long Gong Meng Shu, is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, while his wife, Snake Granny Chao Tian Xiang, is also a Soul Emperor. The couple is a very famous Soul Master couple in the Soul Master world, known as the Peerless Dragon and Snake.

In particular, the two possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Dragon-Snake Combination Strike, which allows them to even go toe-to-toe with Title Douluos. Below the Title Douluo level, virtually no one dares to provoke them.

Throughout the original novel, although the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were not exactly good people, they were indeed brave enough to step up at crucial moments and they also valued their promises very much; otherwise, they wouldn't have fought against Chrysanthemum Douluo for Tang San.

After joining the Intermediate Soul Master Academy of Beasts, although he was just an ordinary student and might not attract the attention of the Dragon God and Snake Goddess, he could still use this tiger skin for protection in the short term.

Another reason is that although Yang Ping'an has done a lot of research on the Purple-Gold Mastiff, he doesn't know if the Beast Academy is more suitable for the Purple-Gold Mastiff's growth.

Registration at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy for Mythical Beasts is very simple. First, you need to meet the admission requirements, have clear student information, and possess an admission notice.

Of course, the tuition fees for the Beast Academy are also very expensive. The intermediate Soul Master Academy alone requires fifty gold soul coins per year, which is considered relatively high among the many intermediate Soul Master Academies.

Another point is that the martial soul is related to the mythical beast. Although Yang Ping'an's martial soul, the Purple-Gold Mastiff, looks relatively weak, it can still be considered a mythical beast.

After passing the soul power level test, the martial soul test, and other entrance examinations, Yang Ping'an finally enrolled in the Intermediate Soul Master Academy of Beasts. He will probably stay at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy of Beasts for at least three years.

This Beast City is indeed impressive, especially the Beast Intermediate Soul Master Academy, which is exceptionally prosperous. While its environment may not be as good as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the original story, its overall learning atmosphere is excellent.

After Yang Ping'an completed all the formalities and received two sets of school uniforms, he went to the dormitory.

The next few days may be a bit busy, mainly involving things like the opening ceremony and class assignments.

Of course, Yang Ping'an also has his own learning plan, mainly referring to the training methods of Shrek Academy in the original work, plus some utilization of the academy's resources.

After entering the intermediate soul master academy, Yang Ping'an is no longer short of money, and he will no longer be a blacksmith. His focus now is on physical training, improving his soul power, and enhancing his combat skills.
