Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 37 Level 30

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was severely injured, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. As expected of a top-grade thousand-year-old soul beast, it had virtually no weaknesses in any aspect. Its strength, speed, and even its reaction speed and intelligence were all excellent.

His first soul skill, the Profound Gold Protective Shield, was used in a very hasty manner, without preparation or charging up, which is why he was injured in the rush.

The wolf king was clearly extremely angry; its eyes turned completely red, and even the fur on its entire body stood on end, as if it were facing a mortal enemy.

Seeing the wolf king pounce at high speed again, Yang Ping'an hardened his heart and threw out another steel net, trying to trap the wolf king.

But the wolf king reacted extremely quickly, managing to twist its body to dodge the oncoming steel net.

At that very moment, a steel wire flew out of Yang Ping'an's hand, hooked onto a tree, and with a strong pull, he flew directly onto the giant tree.

At Yang Ping'an's current speed, he simply cannot outrun the enraged wolf king, especially after being injured, his speed has been further reduced.

The wolf king reacted with extreme agility, actually attacking the tree directly with its claws, cleaving the entire tree in half. As expected of a thousand-year-old soul beast, its strength was indeed formidable.

Yang Ping'an knew this was probably very dangerous, so he used a steel wire to hang from another tree and quickly left the big tree by swinging on a swing.

After flying over countless trees, the wolf king behind him still followed closely, clearly eyeing him. After all, he had already killed three thousand-year-old golden-backed wolves, so the hatred was as deep as the sea.

Yang Ping'an's expression was also extremely grim. With the Golden-backed Wolf's powerful sense of smell and incredible speed, even though it couldn't climb trees, it could still keep tracking him. Last time, in order to escape the pursuit, he had no choice but to hide in a huge Chinese toon tree, and he had also used traps to avoid it. Now, it would probably be even more difficult than last time.

Moreover, judging from the wolf king's current state, it seems they are now locked in a life-or-death struggle and will follow him in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time.

After four consecutive days, and even taking the Golden-Backed Wolf King to the lair of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, Yang Ping'an barely managed to shake off its pursuit. However, by this time, Yang Ping'an had exhausted a great deal of soul power and even suffered many wounds.

However, Yang Ping'an hid in an abandoned nest and began to slowly cultivate.

Although life in the Starry Sky Forest is extremely arduous, the human body is more likely to push its limits when faced with various challenges and under such intense and dangerous conditions. This is more effective than the so-called strenuous activities of carrying stones and running.

Originally, after entering level 29, my entire body felt like a quagmire. No matter how much I cultivated, I felt that my soul power increased very little, and it would probably take a long time to break through. But given the current situation, I can probably resume normal cultivation.

After completing his cultivation, Yang Ping'an took out the corpses of three thousand-year-old golden-backed wolves from his storage soul tool. The purple-gold mastiff next to him had eyes that looked like they were glowing green and ran straight to the corpses to devour them.

Yang Ping'an and the Purple-Gold Mastiff were of one mind, and he simply cultivated silently by their side without thinking about anything else.

For the next few months, Yang Ping'an stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, cultivating in abandoned nests every night and exploring various soul beasts in the forest during the day. On the one hand, he searched for metal-attribute food for the Purple Gold Mastiff, and on the other hand, he trained his body by fighting with some soul beasts.

It must be said that although the Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers, it is also full of opportunities. All kinds of soul beast resources are endless. Sometimes, even a simple hundred-year-old soul beast can make Yang Ping'an look miserable.

During this period, the Purple-Gold Mastiff also ate a lot of metal-attribute soul beasts, but they were all hundred-year-old soul beasts. Apart from the Golden-Backed Wolf, there were only two thousand-year-old soul beasts, and both of them had just entered the thousand-year level.

After devouring soul beasts for some time, the Purple-Gold Mastiff has grown to a full three meters in length, and its limbs have even grown tender claws. Although they are not sharp at all and cannot harm enemies, they have still grown. Two small fleshy bumps have even started to grow on the Purple-Gold Mastiff's back, making it look somewhat incongruous.

After careful consideration, Yang Ping'an gradually understood what was on the back of the Purple Gold Mastiff.

Normally, all the dragon-attribute soul beasts we refer to are Western dragons. Western dragons originally have huge dragon wings. Even if some dragons cannot grow dragon wings due to degeneration, they still have the potential in this regard.

According to the original work, the fact that Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong were able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was actually closely related to their Martial Souls.

Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is the Purple Gold Mastiff, which is an incomplete golden holy dragon, lacking in both bloodline and power.

Liu Erlong's martial soul is a fire dragon. Through the martial soul fusion skill, she made up for the shortcomings of the Purple Gold Mastiff in terms of bloodline and dragon attribute.

Flander's martial soul is the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl, which is like giving the Purple-Gold Mastiff a pair of eagle wings, making the Purple-Gold Mastiff truly take shape as the Golden Sacred Dragon.

This is why Yu Xiaogang, one of the Golden Iron Triangle, is known as the Wisdom Corner and is the controller of the entire Martial Soul Fusion Skill, because the Purple-Gold Mastiff is the foundation of everything.

Normally, if Yang Ping'an were to absorb all the top-grade dragon attribute soul rings, there would be a certain chance of evolving the Purple Gold Mastiff into a Golden Sacred Dragon, or rather, the Golden Sacred Dragon would be the ultimate form of the Purple Gold Mastiff.

However, due to their background and strength, it was impossible to find so many dragon-attribute spirit rings. They could only settle for finding metal-attribute spirit rings, especially gold-attribute spirit rings, which would also promote the growth of the Purple Gold Mastiff.

Having stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, Yang Ping'an had indeed found one or two dragon-attribute soul beasts, but their ages were too young to be used as his third soul ring. The Purple Gold Mastiff, however, was unusually excited, as if it were a rare delicacy, and devoured it before Yang Ping'an could even react.

Especially after the Purple-Gold Mastiff devoured the corpse of the dragon-attribute soul beast, Yang Ping'an even felt his bloodline boiling. Could this be the legendary bloodline activation?

Another point is that the Star Dou Great Forest is a treasure trove of various resources. In addition to soul beast resources, there are also various precious medicinal herbs. Even in the outer areas, many hundred-year-old medicinal herbs have been found. The research on various medicinal herbs in the past has come in handy, allowing us to select herbs that can enhance soul power and consume them to improve our soul power.

And so, Yang Ping'an stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for nearly four months, and his soul power finally broke through again, reaching level 30, which is also Yang Ping'an's biggest bottleneck at this stage.
