Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 42 An Unexpected Joy

Looking at the current state of the Purple-Gold Mastiff, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but let out a long roar. Judging from its current condition, the Purple-Gold Mastiff should have already evolved to the level of a dragon. As long as he continues to move in that direction, it will eventually evolve into a Golden Sacred Dragon.

The golden mastiff looked at Yang Ping'an with some confusion, let out a low growl, and then buried its head to continue enjoying its food.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips. This golden mastiff really didn't care about anything, all it did was eat.

However, Yang Ping'an ignored the expression of the Purple Gold Mastiff and began to study the third soul skill he had obtained. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was indeed a top-quality soul beast, giving him a very good soul skill: Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation.

When using the Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, one's body is extremely enhanced, with attack and defense increasing by 200%. It possesses the brute strength of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and the metallic properties of the Dark Gold Dragon Claw Bear. The hands can transform into bear claws, capable of tearing apart any opponent.

Yang Ping'an carefully studied the effect of this soul skill. It was somewhat similar to Dai Mubai's third soul skill in the original work, but also somewhat similar to his fifth soul skill. It was like a combination of his two soul skills, but he felt that its strength was even greater than the sum of his two soul skills.

With such a powerful amplification soul skill, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but want to laugh. Even though he was only level 32 at the moment, with such a powerful amplification, Yang Ping'an was confident that he could withstand high-level Soul Masters. Especially when he reached the level of advanced Soul Master, such an early-stage amplification soul skill would be even more terrifying.

After dealing with everything, Yang Ping'an retrieved his spoils: the corpses of numerous human-faced demon spiders. However, the Purple-Gold Mastiff looked at the corpses with obvious disgust.

The corpse of the human-faced spider is highly poisonous and is very valuable when traded. However, the most important factor is the fact that it was discovered in that very moment.

When all the human-faced spiders died at the beginning, Yang Ping'an actually discovered a strange light on a human-faced spider that was over two thousand years old. At that time, it seemed familiar and full of longing.

At this moment, the corpse was taken out, and the human-faced demon spider's corpse was carefully parted. The person was even a little trembling. There was a crystal green light in the corpse, just like a piece of soul bone.

But this soul bone seemed a bit different. It didn't look like a torso soul bone; instead, it had eight spider legs on it, just like the back of a spider.

Indeed, this is the Eight Spider Soul Bone from the original work. Yang Ping'an originally planned to find a way to intercept Tang San's Eight Spider Soul Bone in the future, since the Eight Spider Soul Bone is probably considered a top-grade item in the history of external soul bones.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Ping'an showed a hint of fear when he saw the soul bone. Does this mean that history has already been changed? But according to the original story, Tang San is clearly the chosen one of this era. If history is changed in this way, will Tang San have other adventures?

The Eight Spider Soul Bone not only increases attack power, but especially after mastering the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Control, it can greatly enhance a Soul Master's attack power and attack methods. In particular, the Eight Spider Soul Bone contains a potent poison. Even in the finals of the Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall team was defeated by the Eight Spider Soul Bone. In addition, the Eight Spider Soul Bone has a devouring effect. In every aspect, it can be called a top-grade item.

In particular, if the Eight Spider Soul Bones were to fall into the hands of an evil soul master, they could even cultivate a Title Douluo-level expert in a short period of time, which would be even more terrifying.

In the original story, Tang San used the Eight Spider Soul Bone to absorb the energy of soul beasts and soul masters. If viewed in later generations, this would definitely be considered a representative of evil soul masters.

Now that Tang San and I are practically mortal enemies, the Eight Spider Soul Bone absolutely cannot fall into Tang San's hands. The fact that it has now fallen into my hands is an unexpected surprise.

However, Yang Ping'an thought about it for a long time. He had originally planned to absorb all eight soul bones, but the Purple-Gold Mastiff looked disgusted and even howled at Yang Ping'an as he was about to absorb the eight spider soul bones, which annoyed him.

Such a treasure, yet the Purple-Gold Mastiff doesn't like it. I wonder if it will hinder the evolution of the Purple-Gold Mastiff's martial soul in the future. Also, the Purple-Gold Mastiff will probably grow wings sooner or later. Will the Eight Spider Soul Bones and wings overlap or even repel each other? Moreover, the Eight Spider Soul Bones are poisonous, which is obviously incompatible with the Purple-Gold Mastiff itself.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. In the end, he decided to put away the Eight Spider Soul Bones first and absorb them later if necessary. Right now, the evolution of his martial soul was the most important thing.

After everything was tidied up, Yang Ping'an left the abandoned nest with the Purple Gold Mastiff. He flashed his soul power in his right hand, and a steel claw directly split open the hole that was originally blocked. Even the hard stone was cut as smoothly as tofu.

Following that, Yang Ping'an continued to train in the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month, and he became very proficient in both his soul skills and the Dark Gold Bear Claw. Then he began to work on the next step of his plan.

Yang Ping'an's strength has now reached the Soul Venerable realm. With various methods, he is confident of defeating even the four-thousand-year-old Golden-backed Wolf King. As for the other Black Wind Demon Wolves, although there are more of them, they are far inferior in all aspects.

After searching for a while, Yang Ping'an finally located the wolf pack. There were still more than ten wolves in the pack, but it seemed that their overall strength had decreased a lot, perhaps because they had suffered a major setback.

After navigating various traps and defeating the wolves one by one, Yang Ping'an himself made continuous attacks, using the power of the Dark Gold Bear Claw to relentlessly harvest the wolves.

Only at the very last moment, when only two golden-backed wolves, one large and one small, along with a few black wind wolves, remained in the entire wolf pack, did they launch their final, deadly attack.

Upon seeing Yang Ping'an, the Golden-Backed Wolf King acted as if meeting an enemy, displaying unusual ferocity.

However, Yang Ping'an at this time was no longer the same as before. His steel claws made him look fierce and powerful. Especially after using his third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, he could directly withstand the Golden Backed Wolf King.

After a fierce battle, even enduring two scratches from the Golden-backed Wolf, he used his claws to cut the Golden-backed Wolf King in half, thus avenging the continuous pursuit and attack.

The golden mastiff was also overjoyed and almost disregarded Yang Ping'an's control, lunging directly at the corpse of the Golden Wolf King. It was indeed a big glutton.

After everything was finished, Yang Ping'an calculated the time and decided to leave the Star Dou Great Forest after resting for a few days.

I spent a few more months in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the year is almost over. Now it's time to make the next plan.

Up until now, Yang Ping'an has not considered any revenge, mainly because his strength is too weak. But now that the original plot is about to begin, it is time to stir up trouble and seek revenge.
