Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 57 An Encounter

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo became even more furious, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A dignified Title Douluo powerhouse and a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire had actually been outmaneuvered by a petty thief.

However, when Dugu Bo was venting his anger, he suddenly saw a note somewhere in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He initially thought it was something a thief intended to use to humiliate these things, and wanted to tear the note to shreds.

But upon closer reflection, would a dignified Poison Douluo be afraid of a thief's provocation? Perhaps he could find some clues about the thief from the note.

However, when Dugu Bo saw the contents of the note, he seemed to be shocked.

The fact that the Dugu family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is highly poisonous is unknown to anyone outside the entire Douluo Continent except for members of the family. The contents of this note are very simple: it is possible to transfer the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul to a Soul Bone.

Dugu Bo himself has been studying the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul for many years, so he naturally understands that the poison of this Martial Soul is difficult to remove. Even the best healing-type Soul Master or the best antidote in the world can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, the more the Martial Soul poison is suppressed, the more intense the later outbreak will be.

Her son, Dugu Xin, died young because of the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's spirit. Her granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has good talent and is already a member of the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy at a young age. However, Dugu Yan has already begun to show symptoms of the spirit poison.

Although this thief stole countless herbs, the note, though very simple, contained a solution to the poison of the martial spirit.

At this moment, Dugu Bo couldn't help but mutter, "Transferring the poison of the martial soul to the soul bone seems feasible. I can go back and try it out first. However, if I want to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, I'm afraid I'll need an extremely powerful soul bone."

Although soul bones are extremely valuable, obtaining them is not difficult for the Heaven Dou Empire's only guest elder. He only needs to ask, and both Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing would probably offer them up without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's face turned cold, even filled with lingering fear: "Just who is this little thief? Not only does he know how to enter and exit my medicine garden, but he also knows about the poison of my Dugu family's martial spirit, and even knows the solution. Does that mean that if this person wants to control my Dugu family, it would be an easy matter?"

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo gave up the idea of ​​finding the person who stole his medicinal garden. This person knew so much that only a very powerful force could do it.

Dugu Bo casually waved his hand, and countless sand and gravel flooded the tunnel's exit. Then he quickly flew towards Tiandou City. No matter what, he still needed to verify the method of transferring the toxin to the soul bone. If it really worked, it would solve the problem that had plagued the Dugu family for a thousand years. A mere medicinal garden was not worth having.

As for the thief, Sunset Forest is a vast and boundless place, making it virtually impossible to find him. Moreover, the thief was clearly prepared and has probably already made his escape.

Yang Ping'an didn't know what Dugu Bo would do, but for his own safety, he would try to avoid Dugu Bo and even Dugu Yan. He also deliberately entered the Star Dou Great Forest to prevent being discovered.

After much deliberation, Yang Ping'an decided to return to the Beast Academy.

I'm currently only a level 32 Soul Master. Even if I can be invincible at the Soul Master level, my strength is still too weak. I need to find a backer, otherwise even normal growth will be a problem.

As for finding other powerful backers, Yang Ping'an could only sigh.

Given Tang Hao's strength and status, the three upper sects are all in cahoots, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would only be his enemy. They would never offend the Haotian Sect for his sake.

The Spirit Hall is also in a relatively difficult situation right now. Despite sending out so many letters, there has been no reaction from the Spirit Hall, which shows that the various forces within the Spirit Hall are intricately intertwined. If things go wrong, the Spirit Hall could become cannon fodder.

From any perspective, the Beast Academy is the best support in the short term, bar none.

However, just as Yang Ping'an was about to leave, he encountered a group of people who came to hunt for spirit rings. He originally wanted to avoid them, but there were a lot of people on the other side, and they seemed to be there to hunt for spirit rings as well. Moreover, the Purple Gold Mastiff did not smell any murderous aura in those people.

However, when Yang Ping'an saw these people, he was also taken aback. He never expected to encounter these people in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The group of people were dressed in combat uniforms, some red, some green, and some blue. They looked very young, especially the leader, who even had half his face covered.

Yang Ping'an mentally scoffed: Aren't these the people from the Elemental Academy in the original story? And isn't the leader the legendary Douluo Continent's infamous sycophant, Feng Xiaotian?

There were seven or eight people in the group, and they all looked very young; there wasn't a single older person among them.

Among them were Feng Xiaotian and two others from Shenfeng Academy, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from Chihuo Academy, and Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu from Tianshui Academy. Judging from their appearance, they should be training in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yang Ping'an felt a little strange. Under normal circumstances, they should not have reached level 40 yet. After all, when the Soul Master Competition actually came, Feng Xiaotian, who had the highest soul power, was only level 44. And now there is still a full year and a half before the Soul Master Competition. The others' soul power levels should probably be even lower.

Everyone was puzzled to see Yang Ping'an alone in the Star Dou Great Forest with the Purple Gold Mastiff, as they rarely saw young people traveling alone in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Feng Xiaotian seemed to be relatively more knowledgeable among this group, after all, he was much older than the others, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Yang Ping'an's clothes.

The group was clearly led by Feng Xiaotian, who stepped forward and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Hello, friend. I am Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy. We are training in the Star Dou Great Forest, but since this is our first time here, we have accidentally gotten lost. Could you please lead us out?"

Yang Ping'an mentally scoffed: This must be the first time the young masters of the Elemental Academy have entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone, yet they still managed to get lost in it.

However, Yang Ping'an quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "I have long admired Feng Xiaotian of Shenfeng Academy. I come from the Beast Academy and am currently preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest. If you gentlemen do not mind, we can go out together first."

Huo Wushuang, who was standing to the side, quickly clasped his hands in thanks: "Then thank you very much to this friend from the Beast Academy. We were unlucky this time. A few days ago, we were chased by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and lost contact with our teacher."

Yang Ping'an simply nodded. Since he was leaving alone anyway, it wasn't a bad idea to go with these people. At least these students weren't vicious criminals.

Yang Ping'an felt a strange thought: theoretically, their teachers should all be at least Soul King level experts. If they were to lead them to the Star Dou Great Forest, there would probably be even Soul Saint level experts. How could they be scattered by a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast? It's likely that some teachers were secretly observing their training.
