Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 52 Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan

Although Yang Ping'an won this battle against Yu Tianheng, their true strength should be roughly equal. Yu Tianheng's soul power is much stronger than Yang Ping'an's, and Yu Tianheng's martial soul also has a significant advantage.

Yang Ping'an stated that through long-term training and repeated consumption of whale glue, his physical abilities were able to rival Yu Tianheng's. In particular, the powerful amplification of his third soul skill played a decisive role in the battle.

Yang Ping'an's third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, is a god-like skill in terms of its amplification effect. It is much stronger than many people's ten-thousand-year soul skills. Moreover, because it is a thousand-year soul skill, the consumption is not that great. He even doubts that many people's seventh soul skills may not have such a powerful amplification.

However, when Yang Ping'an was about to leave the Soul Arena, he encountered Yu Tianheng and a woman. The woman appeared to be exceptionally charming and seemed to be Yu Tianheng's girlfriend, Dugu Yan.

Yang Ping'an originally didn't intend to pay any attention to Yu Tianheng, but Yu Tianheng directly blocked Yang Ping'an's path: "Hello, my name is Yu Tianheng. You should be a contestant from Dragon Travels the World. We should have met on the stage earlier. Can we become friends?"

Yang Ping'an sneered inwardly: "My name is Yang Ping'an, from the Beast Academy. If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. What business do you have with me?"

Yu Tianheng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I lost this round, but I'm not happy about it. I'd like to challenge you to another round sometime. When would you be available?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I don't know when I'll have time either. I should still be in Tiandou City for now."

Yu Tianheng's expression was somewhat earnest: "Yang Ping'an, could I buy you a drink? There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I'm really sorry, I've been quite busy lately, I'm afraid I don't have time. Just say what you want to say."

Yu Tianheng pondered for a moment before speaking: "Yang Ping'an, your strength is outstanding. Could you please join my Heaven Dou Royal Academy team? If you join, we might have a chance to compete for the championship of the Soul Master Competition in the future."

Yang Ping'an sneered inwardly. This Yu Tianheng was thinking too much, or rather, his ambitions were too great. Unfortunately, his strength did not match his ambitions.

"I'm really sorry, but I'm a student at the Beast Academy, highly regarded by the Dean, and I won't be joining any other academy."

After politely declining, Yang Ping'an left without paying any attention to the expressions on Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's faces.

After Yang Ping'an had walked away, Dugu Yan said with a hint of resentment, "Tianheng, didn't you overestimate Yang Ping'an? Although his strength is not bad, his soul power is too low. He is only at level thirty-two now. Even in two years, he will only be a Soul Venerable. We will both have broken through to Soul Sect by then. We should be able to defeat him easily."

Yu Tianheng shook his head: "Yanzi, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm somewhat familiar with this Yang Ping'an, especially his moves. They're probably related to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. And with his strength, if he could join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we might actually be able to compete with the Spirit Hall team."

After Yang Ping'an left, his face turned somewhat cold: He hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to be so shrewd, especially considering Yu Tianheng's status in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, coupled with his ambition and cunning. If he were to reveal even the slightest flaw, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, they had used the name of the Beast Academy, so even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family would probably be somewhat wary of the Beast Academy and wouldn't provoke them without reason.

Yang Ping'an pondered to himself, since Yu Tianheng had appeared in the Soul Arena, Dugu Yan would probably appear there as well.

Sure enough, just three days later, Yang Ping'an encountered Dugu Yan in the Soul Arena, and it seemed that this Soul Arena was also carefully arranged by someone.

Dugu Yan is a poison soul master, and she can be said to be a very powerful existence in the early stage. After all, many soul masters do not have any means of survival, let alone any means of resisting poison gas. This makes Dugu Yan's deterrent power on the field even exceed that of Yu Tianheng in many cases.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about all that. He followed Tang San's method from the original story, which was to spread strong liquor mixed with realgar powder all over the place, and then use the Purple Gold Ray to ignite the liquor, burning away all the poisonous gas.

In particular, Yang Ping'an's third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, can greatly enhance his physical fitness and resistance, enabling him to withstand the poison while attacking Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was shocked, never expecting that someone could restrain her Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom and even use her soul skill to resist it. In the end, she was defeated by Yang Ping'an.

After her defeat, Dugu Yan was furious: "Yang Ping'an, how did you know that realgar powder and strong liquor could counteract my Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom?"

Yang Ping'an simply shook his head: "Miss Dugu, I have been training in the forest for a long time, and this kind of strong liquor and realgar powder are essential items. They can also help me avoid attacks from some poisonous snakes in the forest."

After hearing Yang Ping'an's words, Dugu Yan was also taken aback. Although Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were both chosen ones, they had relatively little experience in the forest. They were always accompanied by top experts and had not paid attention to such details.

Yang Ping'an ignored Dugu Yan and left alone. Now, neither Dugu Bo nor the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family were people he could afford to offend. If he offended Dugu Yan too much, it would be troublesome if he attracted Dugu Bo.

After waiting for some time, it was almost time for Prince Xuexing's birthday. Yang Ping'an then went to Sunset Forest for training again. Along the way, he tried to stay on the essential road between the core area of ​​Sunset Forest and Tiandou City, ready to prepare for his next plan.

Just as Yang Ping'an had predicted, that morning, an astonishing aura seemed to emanate from the sky. Although it was only a fleeting moment, it was filled with boundless killing intent, befitting a titled Douluo-level powerhouse.

Yang Ping'an's heart tightened, and he forcibly suppressed all sorts of thoughts in his mind, treating it as just an ordinary training exercise. He waited for a full half hour until the aura completely disappeared before he began to act.

Based on what just happened and the power of a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo could probably sense my presence. Unfortunately, in his eyes, I am just an ant and will not attract his attention at all.

After waiting for a full half hour, Yang Ping'an began to walk quickly through the Sunset Forest, a rare look of ferocity appearing on his face.

Now that the tiger has left its den, this is a rare opportunity.
