Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 5 Martial Soul: Purple-Gold Mastiff

Old Tom looked at Su Yuntao with a hint of doubt: "Sir, what does half a level of innate soul power mean?"

"That means he has a chance to become a Soul Master, but at most he'll become an ordinary Soul Master, probably not exceeding level 20." Su Yuntao hesitated for a while before speaking, after all, he himself had never seen a Soul Master with half a level of innate Soul Power.

After all the children had left the wooden house, Su Yuntao pointed at Yang Ping'an and said, "That's him. This child's martial soul is a pig, and his innate soul power is half a level."

Yang Ping'an seemed to feel a voice coming from the depths of his heart, as if pointing out the name of his martial soul.

Seeing this, Yang Ping'an quickly bowed to Su Yuntao: "Greetings, sir. My martial soul is called Purple Gold Mastiff. Although my innate soul power is only half a level, I am sure I can become a soul master."

Seeing Yang Ping'an's resolute expression, Su Yuntao finally nodded and said, "Alright, your martial soul will be called Purple Gold Mastiff."

After saying that, Su Yuntao gave Yang Ping'an a certificate of awakening his martial soul, and at the same time said to Old Tom next to him, "Village chief, your village only has one child who has awakened innate soul power. I'll just give you the work-study spot as well. You can make your own arrangements."

Without a second thought, Old Tom immediately gave Yang Ping'an the work-study student quota certificate.

According to regulations, each village has one work-study student quota, but Wanghun Village has not had a child awaken innate soul power for many years. The quotas given in the past have been wasted. This year, they finally had one awaken, but it seems that apart from Yang Ping'an, no one else can use this quota.

Yang Ping'an accepted the Soul Master certificate and the work-study student certificate, ignoring the whispers of the other villagers, and returned home alone.

Su Yuntao nodded as he watched Yang Ping'an's retreating figure: "This child is quite independent, but it's a pity that his innate soul power is too low. Otherwise, he would be a good prospect to join the Spirit Hall."

Old Tom also felt a pang of regret: "This child is pitiful. His parents died two years ago, and now he is all alone. It's quite remarkable that he has grown up this big."

Su Yuntao felt even more regretful upon hearing this. Orphans like this were always the focus of the Spirit Hall's training program, but unfortunately, this child only had half a level of innate soul power, making his training value extremely low.

After returning home alone, Yang Ping'an's face turned dark, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes seemed unusually fierce.

He is now burdened with a blood feud, and his enemies are all exceptionally powerful. He has only awakened a mere half-level of innate soul power, and his martial soul is the Purple Gold Mastiff (Luo Sanpao). It can be said that his hope of revenge is extremely slim.

"So what if I'm only half a level of innate soul power? Even if I'm shattered to pieces, I will definitely avenge myself. The hatred for my parents is irreconcilable. Tang Hao, Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanzhen, I will make you pay the price."

Yang Ping'an let out a low roar, his face becoming unusually ferocious and resolute.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ping'an's mind gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the future developments.

First of all, his martial soul is the Purple-Gold Mastiff, and his innate soul power is half a level, which is something that cannot be changed.

However, while others may not know, Yang Ping'an understands very well that the Purple Gold Mastiff is just a facade; the Purple Gold Mastiff Martial Soul is actually the Golden Sacred Dragon.

However, evolving the Purple Gold Mastiff into a Golden Sacred Dragon is not so simple. In the original story, Yu Xiaogang only truly awakened the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul after consuming the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma. In other words, the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma was his only hope. If there were a real Ninth-Grade Dragon Ganoderma in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the effect would definitely be better.

However, although I have read some books, I am completely unfamiliar with immortal herbs. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent novel, Tang San is familiar with various immortal herbs because of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu from his previous life. Among all the people in Douluo Continent, it is estimated that only Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Wudi are familiar with immortal herbs.

However, all the knowledge about immortal herbs was accumulated by these two through countless efforts; it was a secret passed down through their own family, and outsiders could not possibly know it.

Most importantly, Dugu Bo has taken over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Although Dugu Bo followed the main characters in the original novel, it was precisely because of the main characters that Dugu Bo was romanticized. You should know that Dugu Bo was capricious and prone to killing, even massacring entire cities. In any world, he would definitely be an unparalleled demon.

As a result, according to the original setting, Dugu Bo became a positive character who valued loyalty and righteousness, meaning that the ordinary soul masters and civilians who died at his hands had all died in vain.

Having no background, no knowledge of immortal herbs, and no exceptional talent, it was simply a pipe dream for him to want to get close to Dugu Bo.

Let alone Dugu Bo, even an ordinary nobleman or sect disciple would look down on him. An ordinary student, or an ordinary commoner soul master, would probably be no different from an ant in the eyes of nobles and high-level soul masters.

Another issue is whether he has a second martial soul. When he awakened his martial soul just now, Yang Ping'an felt dizzy and his whole body seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, but after observing carefully for a long time, he could not find out where the changes were.

I feel like I've become more dexterous, or at least my senses seem stronger. Normal martial soul awakening shouldn't cause this phenomenon. Considering that my mother didn't awaken a martial soul, I have no idea if I have a second martial soul.

However, we can talk about the second martial soul later. Regardless of whether we have a second martial soul or not, our future cultivation plans cannot be delayed.

Yang Ping'an summoned his martial soul, the Purple-Gold Mastiff. The Purple-Gold Mastiff sat blankly beside him, looking quite cute. In particular, the Purple-Gold Mastiff had its eyes squinted, which made it look rather imposing, not at all like a useless martial soul.

The most important thing is the training of the Purple Gold Mastiff.

The Purple-Gold Mastiff is an unformed golden holy dragon, possessing the bloodline of the dragon race, making it extremely noble.

However, let alone the Golden Sacred Dragon, even golden-type soul beasts and martial souls are extremely rare throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

The only known one is Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second elder of the Spirit Hall. Golden Crocodile Douluo has a spirit power of level 98, making him the number one expert below the peerless Douluo. He also seems to be the only level 98 spirit master in the entire Douluo series.

Unfortunately, the Golden Crocodile Douluo is a million miles away from me, and such a peerless master would never look up to me. It seems that I have to rely on myself for everything.

Although I have read a lot of books, my knowledge is still limited. It seems that I should focus on improving my knowledge at school, and then consider how to cultivate the Purple Gold Mastiff and even how to train my body. In any case, training and building a strong physique are always good things.

After summoning the Purple-Gold Mastiff, Yang Ping'an felt that there seemed to be a connection between him and the Purple-Gold Mastiff. He seemed to be able to sense the Purple-Gold Mastiff's emotions. The Purple-Gold Mastiff seemed to be completely different from other beast martial souls. It could not possess a martial soul like other beast martial souls. In the future, these combat methods would probably be completely different as well.

There's a line in the original work that says: Martial spirits have their own thoughts. Only by fully understanding your own martial spirit can you bring it to its full potential.

The little pig in front of us, who is about to fall asleep, seems unusually lonely, or perhaps unable to truly awaken, which is its own tragedy.

Yang Ping'an gently rubbed the head of the Purple-Gold Mastiff, seemingly feeling a little tender: "Whether it's the Purple-Gold Mastiff or Luo Sanpao, from now on we're partners. I will do everything I can to make you the strongest in the Soul Master world, and I will also become the strongest person in the world."

The golden mastiff snorted and went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.
