Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 46 Dragon God and Snake Goddess

Although Long Gongshe and the two were rather cold, after all, as the deans of the Soul Master Academy, they had seen countless students, and hundreds of students like Yang Ping'an would graduate every year.

Meng Yiran, on the other hand, was more enthusiastic. The two were classmates and had played against each other many times, so they knew each other quite well.

"Yang Ping'an, how did you end up in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Meng Yiran was still a little puzzled to have met Yang Ping'an.

"Miss Meng, I recently felt that I had hit a bottleneck, so I took leave a few months ago to train. I have been training in the Star Dou Great Forest for several months now."

"Oh, so how are you doing now? I'm already level 30, and I'll be able to become a Soul Master soon. I'll definitely be able to beat you then."

"I'm so sorry, Miss Meng, I'm already a Soul Master now, and I acquired a Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest some time ago."

Yang Ping'an quickly explained, while also feeling somewhat fortunate that he hadn't absorbed the soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. Otherwise, with his soul power greatly increased, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the eyes of the Dragon Duke and the Snake Granny.

Meng Yiran looked extremely surprised: "That's not right, how did you break through to Soul Master so quickly? I remember when we fought for the first time, your soul power was two levels lower than mine."

Yang Ping'an could only force a smile: "I recently had some good opportunities in the Star Dou Great Forest and found some good medicinal herbs, so my soul power has improved quite a bit."

At this moment, Long Gong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an? Aren't you the student Meng Chuan mentioned, the one who discovered a method to increase soul power?"

Although Long Gong spoke in a rather calm manner, as a powerful high-level Soul Douluo, he possessed an immense aura.

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Dean, I did indeed visit Dean Meng Chuan before coming to the Star Dou Great Forest for training, and I also reported some things."

Upon hearing this, Long Gong's tone was noticeably less cold and authoritative than when they first met: "You're not bad, kid. You're actually willing to report such a big matter to the academy. Besides what you told Meng Chuan back then, do you have any other requests?"

Yang Ping'an was immediately shocked. Given the strength and status of the Dragon Lord, he should not be discussing such topics with someone as insignificant as himself. There must be something more important to come. He quickly bowed again.

"Dean, as a student of the Beast Academy, I would naturally report any discoveries to the academy immediately, since I am also a member of the school."

Long Gong nodded slightly: "Yang Ping'an, I also have a question for you. I wonder if you have any research on this?"

"Dean, I will definitely report anything I know to the college."

"I've already taken the whale gel you mentioned. It does indeed significantly improve a Soul Master's body and Soul Power, but it seems that only the first dose produces a substantial boost; subsequent doses don't seem to have the same effect. Do you have any research on this?"

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Dean, I also took whale gelatin. Whale gelatin can indeed greatly improve physical fitness and soul power the first time it is taken, and can even increase the absorption period of a soul master's soul ring. However, as the body becomes stronger, the effect of whale gelatin will gradually weaken, but it will not have any side effects."

At this moment, Meng Yiran suddenly interrupted, her face slightly flushed: "Grandpa, Yang Ping'an, what are you two talking about? How can you talk about whale glue in public?"

When Long Gong heard his beloved granddaughter say these words, he had no choice but to first explain to Meng Yiran what had happened recently, especially the effects of whale glue.

After hearing this, Meng Yiran seemed a little embarrassed and angry: "You, Yang Ping'an, actually discovered such a good thing. No wonder I can never beat you in a soul battle, especially since your physical strength is so much stronger than mine, and your soul power increases so quickly."

Yang Ping'an's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this; mentioning whale glue in front of a girl was indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, Long Gong quickly dismissed Meng Yiran: "Yiran, this matter is of great importance. The effects of whale glue must not be revealed to any outsiders, otherwise it will cause great trouble."

"Yang Ping'an, I have another question for you. Are there any restrictions on men and women taking whale gelatin? Will it have any other effects on female soul masters?"

Yang Ping'an quickly replied, "I would like to inform the Dean that after taking whale glue multiple times and conducting long-term research, female soul masters can also take it without any side effects. However, it will still have some impact on that aspect of their lives."

Snake Granny and Meng Yiran were puzzled. What could be the cause?

After thinking for a while, Long Gong said, "Yiran, let's not try to get a spirit ring for now. You should take the whale glue first, and then we can get a spirit ring with a higher age."

Meng Yiran looked a little embarrassed: "Grandpa, why would a girl like me eat whale jelly? This is probably not appropriate."

Long Gong quickly comforted Meng Yiran with a doting expression: "Yiran, only we have discovered the effects of whale glue. If you take whale glue, you can even absorb soul rings that are over two thousand years old, which will greatly improve your soul power and strength."

After some discussion, Long Gong, She Po, and Meng Yiran decided to find a secluded place to have Meng Yiran take whale glue first, and then obtain the soul ring. Of course, Yang Ping'an had no choice but to follow the three of them during this process.

Finally, the three found an abandoned cave. After instructing Meng Yiran on how to take the whale glue and the precautions, Long Gong arranged for Snake Granny to assist Meng Yiran, while he took Yang Ping'an and the other two far away.

When Yang Ping'an and Long Gong were together, Long Gong directly attacked Yang Ping'an, carefully examining his body. After checking his entire body, he couldn't help but nod, and even his tone became much gentler.

"Ping An, your body is indeed well-trained. I've seen many Soul Masters, but very few have honed their physical abilities to the level of yours. I'm afraid even those high-level Soul Masters can't compare to you in terms of physical strength."

Yang Ping'an sighed inwardly. He realized that he had no chance against high-level Soul Masters, especially Soul Douluo-level experts. The difference in strength was indeed too great.

"Dean, I just have a slightly different view on Soul Masters than others. I personally believe that the body is the foundation of Soul Master cultivation, so I have paid more attention to physical training since I was a child. This is also one of the reasons why I was able to discover the effects of whale glue."

After hearing this, Long Gong pondered for a long time before speaking: "Ping An, it seems that you have indeed done some research on Soul Master cultivation. The higher the level of Soul Master, especially those who have entered a bottleneck, the more they understand the importance of the body."

"Your research direction is correct, but you need to maintain a balance between physical training and soul power enhancement. It's probably because your innate soul power is too low that you pay so much attention to physical training."

Yang Ping'an remained silent upon hearing this. Indeed, as Long Gong said, many Soul Masters with higher talent might not pay as much attention to physical training, but instead focus more on improving their Soul Power. After all, improving their Soul Power is much simpler and less painful than physical training. Long Gong truly deserves to be the Dean of the Soul Master Academy.
