Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 45 The Mad Tang Hao

Tang Hao, as expected of a top-tier Title Douluo, found it extremely easy to track down a mere Soul Master. He chased after him like a madman, relying solely on a trace of aura present.

But it was clear that the enemy had come prepared this time. Although the traces left on the scene were very faint, their escape speed was extremely fast.

In particular, after Tang Hao chased after them, he actually arrived at a forest of soul beasts.

The Soul Beast Forest is filled with the auras of countless soul beasts, and these auras are extremely varied and difficult to track. Even experts who specialize in tracking them will find it very difficult to locate a specific target in the Soul Beast Forest.

Tang Hao searched for quite some time in the Soul Beast Forest, but he became increasingly confused. In the end, he swung the Clear Sky Hammer, leveling most of the Soul Beast Forest. He did find a few ordinary Soul Masters, but they didn't match the person who stole his Soul Bone.

After searching and even resorting to threats, Tang Hao finally confirmed that these Soul Masters didn't match up at all. He instantly went berserk, smashing the captured Soul Masters into mincemeat, as if venting his anger and madness.

Meanwhile, Yang Ping'an, still disguised, ran at top speed and finally entered the Star Dou Great Forest just before sunset. While he might be able to find people in other places, he would find absolutely no one in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Ping'an immediately retrieved the firestone from his body. After changing his appearance once again, he even discarded all the clothes he had been wearing and put on a brand new set of clothes before heading towards the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Title Douluo in Douluo Continent are all extremely powerful. Each Title Douluo is capable of establishing their own sect. Yang Ping'an would never dare to underestimate Tang Hao's abilities, let alone his persistence and madness. Therefore, he never summoned the Purple Gold Mastiff from beginning to end. Only after entering the Star Dou Great Forest did he dare to truly reveal his soul power.

After Tang Hao had almost completely leveled a small soul beast forest, he discovered a wisp of fire-attribute energy heading towards the outer edge of the forest. However, a full day had passed by then, and when he tried to follow the wisp of fire-attribute energy again, there was no trace of it left.

However, Tang Hao was extremely unwilling and plunged headlong into the Star Dou Great Forest, 200 kilometers away.

Although Tang Hao was a reckless man, his intelligence was definitely not low, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo. At this moment, he also realized that the enemy had probably entered the Star Dou Great Forest, and even he had to be careful inside.

After searching for several days in the Star Dou Great Forest, there were no more clues about the enemy. He had even killed countless soul beasts and soul masters on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Tang Hao, his face streaked with tears, knelt on the ground and roared at the sky, "Ah Yin, my Ah Yin, I'm so sorry, I can't find the enemy, I can't find your soul bone."

After wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest for a while, Tang Hao finally returned to the waterfall. Now the enemy had no clues left, and all that remained was a line of words on the stone wall.

Tang Hao suppressed his anger and did not use his soul power to shatter the entire stone wall. He just stared intently at the words.

According to Tang Hao's own analysis, the enemy was able to track him for so long, probably because of a powerful force, and one that had a grudge against him. Among all the forces in the world, the only one with a deep-seated hatred for him was probably the Spirit Hall. Even after more than ten years since he killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall, they had not given up on their pursuit and killing of him.

After careful consideration, Tang Hao basically determined that the enemy came from the Spirit Hall, but they were probably not high-ranking members. They were likely just ordinary Soul Masters or Soul Sect Masters, and they were fire-attribute Soul Masters.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao couldn't help but recall the two letters he had intercepted. All signs indicated that the person who reported him and the person who committed the theft were the same person, or rather, the same group of people. The other side had probably been observing him for a long time.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao's eyes blazed with rage, and he smashed the Spirit Halls of Notting City and several surrounding cities into pieces, causing a huge uproar.

Yang Ping'an paid no attention to all that. He simply continued wandering through the Star Dou Great Forest for a while before deciding on his next plan.

Yang Ping'an found a relatively secluded spot and took out the lead box he had obtained.

Upon opening the lead box, a deep blue light was revealed, seemingly brimming with boundless vitality; it was indeed the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

Yang Ping'an himself thought about this soul bone for a long time and finally decided not to absorb it for the time being. Even the Purple Gold Mastiff felt unusually comfortable in this blue light and did not reject it like it did with the Eight Spider Soul Bone.

This soul bone is extremely valuable and has a rare life attribute, making it a versatile choice among all soul bones. The only problem is that absorbing the soul bone will greatly increase one's soul power, which may be detrimental to concealing one's strength in the future.

She had already revealed a lot about Meng Chuan, but at the time she could only reveal that whale glue could enhance soul power. Now that her soul power has increased again, she is afraid that it will attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives.

I don't have the protagonist's halo, nor the halo of being stupid, nor do I have an overpowered background. I can't be like the original protagonist who dared to swagger around even with a soul bone and no one would try to kill him.

However, the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor was extraordinary, and from now on, he would practically have a healing-type Title Douluo by his side.

Yang Ping'an knew the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Moreover, Tang Hao must have seen him before, at least secretly. Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang had always suspected him and wanted to study his martial soul. Rashly increasing his strength would probably bring about a bloody disaster.

Finally, Yang Ping'an took out a small soul tool from his person. He had recently acquired it at an auction. It had only a few cubic meters of space, but it was very small and could be kept close to his body.

Yang Ping'an kept this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone separately, so that he would have a backup plan in case it was discovered by someone.

However, whether it was luck or just bad luck, he unexpectedly encountered Meng Yiran in the Star Dou Great Forest that day. He originally intended to avoid her, but he still couldn't escape the perception of a Soul Douluo powerhouse.

The three of them, Dragon Lord, Snake Lady, and Meng Yiran, were walking together, seemingly preparing to obtain Meng Yiran's third soul ring.

Left with no other choice, Yang Ping'an quickly bowed to the Dragon God and Snake Goddess: "Greetings, Deans. I am Yang Ping'an from the Beast Class of the Beast Academy."

Long Gong and She Po served as the deans of the Advanced Soul Master Academy and the Intermediate Soul Master Academy of Beasts, respectively. Moreover, Long Gong himself was the city lord of Beast City, so theoretically he could be considered their student as well.

The Dragon King and the Snake Queen simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.
