Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 73 Dragon Duke Meng Shu

Yang Ping'an remained silent upon hearing this, but a strange light shone in his eyes.

After three months of hard training and numerous matches, Yang Ping'an and his teammates have become quite familiar with each other and have a very good relationship.

In particular, Yang Ping'an has a better relationship with Meng Haoran and Meng Yiran. Both of them are geniuses from the Beast Academy and direct descendants of the Meng family, so they naturally know that the recent training plan was provided by Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an and Meng Haoran became acquainted through fighting. Through their numerous battles, they became very familiar with each other's fighting styles and admired each other's strength.

Meng Haoran was an upright and honest man who, despite his young age, already possessed the demeanor of a great man. Even after losing to Yang Ping'an multiple times, he only became more indomitable.

After each match, the two would discuss their experiences, especially Meng Haoran, who would also discuss the weaknesses he had made and be able to quickly make up for them through hard training.

Yang Ping'an himself felt that someone like Meng Haoran was worth getting to know, especially since they occasionally exchanged ideas about the Meng family's inherited cultivation techniques during their conversations, which provided him with some new ideas for his independent cultivation.

As for Meng Yiran, she was simply a little fangirl. This kind of privileged girl seemed to admire strong people, especially hardworking people like Yang Ping'an.

The three of them became a good little group within the team, learning from each other and growing together. Sometimes, when Yang Ping'an planned to go out to participate in auctions or online shopping, the three of them would go together.

As for the other team members, their relationship with Yang Ping'an was fairly good. After various battles, they would occasionally give each other pointers. It's actually quite easy to build a bond with teammates who fight together.

At this moment, whether it was Long Gong Meng Shu, Meng Chuan, or Meng Kang, they all agreed with Yang Ping'an's current attitude. After all, in the world of soul masters, it's better for a student without any background to keep a low profile.

Especially after Yang Ping'an contributed the whale glue, theoretically the two sides had reached a certain level of cooperation. The Meng family could provide protection for Yang Ping'an under certain circumstances, but they definitely did not want Yang Ping'an to be a troublemaker.

At this moment, Meng Chuan continued, "Yang Ping'an, did you tell anyone else about the whale glue you contributed last time?"

Yang Ping'an was startled upon hearing this: "Director Meng, I haven't told anyone this secret until now. Right now, only the Meng family should know it."

Meng Chuan nodded at this point: "That's good. I plan to have all the team members take whale gel soon. Do you think there are any risks involved? Or will the news leak out?"

Yang Ping'an's expression changed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that among the younger generation of the Meng family, only Meng Yiran had taken whale glue, and even the direct descendant Meng Haoran hadn't taken it yet. It seemed that they wanted to keep it a secret, at least not let the news spread widely. After all, Meng Haoran had been hanging out with others for a long time, and it would be easy for his sudden increase in soul power and physical fitness to be leaked.

Yang Ping'an thought carefully before speaking: "Director Meng, the people inside the team should all be very reliable. I believe they won't leak the information."

Meng Chuan looked somewhat relieved: "That's good. Otherwise, if everyone increases their soul power by one or two levels, I'm afraid it will attract attention from the outside world. This kind of secret isn't so easy to hide."

At this moment, Meng Chuan suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, who exactly is the person you've been wary of? Or rather, who is your enemy?"

Yang Ping'an's eyes widened upon hearing this, and his hands even trembled slightly for no apparent reason. His nerves were extremely tense at this moment, as if he had encountered something terrifying.

Seeing that Yang Ping'an remained silent, Long Gong Meng Shu suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, is what you're truly worried about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

Yang Ping'an was even more surprised when he heard this, and looked at Long Gong with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Long Gong continued, "I have been in the Soul Master world for many years, and I am quite familiar with the domineering style of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Whenever a dragon-type martial soul appears, you either have to submit to them or be secretly dealt with by them."

"Although your martial soul is still called Purple Gold Mastiff, it is clearly in the form of a dragon now. You could even say that its future development potential is no less than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is why you are afraid."

Yang Ping'an suddenly stood up and bowed to Long Gong, saying, "Senior, I am just an ordinary person. I would never dare to offend the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, much less bring disaster to the Beast Academy."

Long Gong waved his hand: "Please sit down first. I will make the decision on this matter."

Yang Ping'an looked around at the other fans and silently sat down. Based on the original Long Gong's personality, he should not have submitted to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, they were not afraid to offend the Spirit Hall for the sake of their promise.

"Are you wondering why I think this way?"

"Please enlighten me, Senior Dragon Master," Yang Ping'an asked hurriedly.

After pondering for a while, Long Gong spoke: "The domineering nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is well known. They look down on any dragon-type martial soul, believing themselves to be of the noblest dragon bloodline, and regarding other dragon-type martial souls as a disgrace."

"Although the martial spirit passed down in my Meng family is the dragon-headed cane, it is still somewhat related to dragons. We have also been suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If it weren't for my remaining strength, my Meng family would probably have ceased to exist long ago. Do you know why they did this?"

Yang Ping'an hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior, could it be because of the spirit rings?"

Long Gong couldn't help but nod: "You have quite the insight, kid. The problem with spirit rings is indeed one of the most serious reasons. Normal dragon-type martial souls usually require dragon-type spirit beasts as their most important requirement. However, dragon-type spirit beasts are extremely rare in the spirit master world. Judging from the current number of people in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they will not be able to find a dragon-type spirit ring sooner or later."

"However, there is an even more important point. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is known as the number one beast spirit in the world. They are afraid that other dragon spirits will surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, and then their title of number one beast spirit in the world will be in jeopardy."

"Don't underestimate this title. It is precisely because of this title that they have been able to remain among the top three sects and attract more Soul Masters to join them."

"Your father's death is probably related to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Yang Ping'an was stunned by the last words. This Dragon Lord was indeed the pinnacle of commoner soul masters. His knowledge was extraordinary. He probably guessed something because of the soul bone in his body.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an quickly composed himself and said, "Senior, my parents died when I was four years old. I don't know anything about my father."

Write down a powerful backer, or rather, an ally.
