Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 74 Level 40

After saying this, Yang Ping'an became extremely tense, his expression more serious than ever before. He hadn't expected that the Dragon Lord could deduce so much from his past; it seemed he would have to be even more careful in the future.

The three remained silent as they watched Yang Ping'an. Finally, Long Gong sighed and said, "You can go now. Don't tell anyone about today's conversation. Although my Meng family is not as powerful as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, we can still protect you."

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Long Gong, and thank you, Director Meng and Teacher Meng."

After saying that, Yang Ping'an left the office alone. Especially after leaving the office, his originally serious expression became unusually gloomy.

For a commoner Soul Master, the early stages are often the most difficult to develop. Not to mention seeking revenge, they don't even dare to really participate in the struggles of the Soul Master world. They have always just wanted to cultivate quietly within the academy.

This is the true tragedy of being a commoner Soul Master. In the early stages, there are no conditions, no resources, and not even cultivation techniques. Especially in the eyes of those advanced Soul Masters, they are like ants. If they show the slightest hatred, they will be wiped out. No advanced Soul Master will tolerate a young Soul Master growing up peacefully.

Thinking of this, Yang Pingfan couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed he needed to make backup plans as soon as possible, otherwise he would die without even knowing how.

After Yang Ping'an left, the three people in the teaching department fell silent for a while. After some time, Long Gong Meng Shu suddenly spoke up: "Chuan'er, Kang'er, you two have been observing Yang Ping'an recently. Have you discovered anything?"

Meng Kang shook his head: "Uncle, Yang Ping'an has been training seriously lately. Apart from staying in the training ground, he spends all his time meditating in the training ground or the simulated environment, without any communication with the outside world."

At this moment, Long Gong looked at Meng Kang with an extremely serious expression: "Based on your description, this Yang Ping'an shouldn't be a spy planted by other forces?"

Meng Kang then became very serious: "It shouldn't be the case. This kid usually spends almost all his energy on training. Whether it's the effects of the whale gel or his suggestions for our training methods, they are all excellent. The strength of everyone in our team has improved significantly."

Long Gong nodded: "As long as it's not a scheme by other forces, that's fine. That's why I haven't let Haoran and the others take whale glue. Now that it's confirmed, let's get those trustworthy disciples to improve their strength as soon as possible. But this kind of news must be kept absolutely secret."

"Chuan'er, what do you think about this Yang Ping'an? You should know that he has a soul bone on his arm."

Meng Chuan thought for a while before speaking: "Father, we are just a Soul Master Academy. Our main job is to teach and nurture students. If people find out that we are taking students' soul bones, our reputation will be very bad. Besides, with the strength of our Meng family, we don't care about this one soul bone. Moreover, Yang Ping'an is indeed a person worth cultivating, and he has made many contributions to us. It is best to win over such a talent."

Long Gong nodded with some relief: "You have made progress over the years. Our family is based on the academy, so we should not get too involved in the dirty business of the Soul Master world, otherwise it will easily bring disaster to our family. Just treat Yang Ping'an as an ordinary student and give him some protection as long as it does not exceed the limit."

Meng Chuan looked puzzled. "Father, what about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? Won't we offend them by doing this?"

At this moment, Long Gong snorted coldly: "We are just ordinary teachers and educators. What's the point of talking to those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? They are probably in dire straits themselves right now."

As a veteran commoner powerhouse, Long Gong Meng Shu has witnessed the development of the Soul Master world over the past few decades. Since the incident with the Clear Sky Sect, several major forces have been desperately expanding, among which the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have grown rapidly in strength.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has been complacent and closed off in recent years, and its strength has clearly fallen behind other major forces. Moreover, it has only been supported by the veteran Title Douluo Yu Yuanzhen. If a new Title Douluo had not been born when Yu Yuanzhen died, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan would probably have been expelled from the three upper sects.

Time flies, and almost a year has passed. During this year, Yang Ping'an devoted almost all his time to cultivation. On this day, Yang Ping'an's soul power finally reached level 40.

Raising one's soul power to level four within a year is quite good; at least there were no major bottlenecks encountered during the process.

The Soul Master Tournament is just over a month away, but the preliminary rounds in the Barak Kingdom region are basically meaningless. As a veteran powerhouse, the Beast Academy team is one of only two teams with a Soul Master among all the teams. Winning the preliminary rounds will be a piece of cake for them.

In particular, as the person with the highest soul power in the Barak Kingdom, Long Gong Meng Shu was like Mount Tai in the entire Barak Kingdom, and basically no one dared to disturb the team's training.

Of course, the strength of the entire Beast Academy team has improved significantly during this year. Meng Shu, the Dragon Lord, obviously has many connections in the market for purchasing whale glue. Even Meng Chuan himself went to Han Hai City in secret and bought a lot of whale glue there.

All the regular team members are basically talents trained by the Beast Academy, and they all have more or less a close relationship with the Beast Academy. Basically, everyone has taken whale glue.

In particular, Captain Meng Haoran, as a direct descendant of the Meng family, received even more intensive training, basically consuming a lot of whale glue until it had no effect anymore.

During this period, the Beast Academy also conducted many experiments, which basically proved that whale glue has no side effects on soul masters, which is why they dared to train their own disciples.

After a year of training, everyone's soul power has increased significantly, basically by about four levels, and some even more.

Among them, the team leader Meng Haoran is now a level 45 Soul Master, and his powerful physical attributes are comparable to those of a high-level Soul Master with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.

In order to help his direct grandson obtain a spirit ring, the three of them—Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, and Meng Chuan—actually set out together and went to the Star Dou Great Forest. It took them more than a month to obtain a decent dragon attribute spirit ring, which was said to be six thousand years old, a miracle among spirit masters of the same level.
