115 Situation and PlanningJust as Yang Ping'an was surprised, Long Gong continued, "Ping'an, do you know what your greatest strengths and weaknesses are now?"
Yang Pingan shook his head: "Please give me some advice, Dean."
Duke Long was silent for a while before he spoke: "Your greatest strength is that you can calm down and practice with peace of mind, and you can also find the most suitable specific method for yourself. But your greatest weakness is that you are too low-key. You have no reputation in the spirit master world. Your strength, potential and reputation do not match each other."
Seeing Yang Ping'an's puzzled expression, Lord Long continued, "Think about it, if you were famous now, would the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family still force you to leave like they do now?"
"By the same token, if you become famous, whether it is the three major sects, the two empires or even the Spirit Hall, they are all paying attention to you. Then, can the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family still be as unscrupulous as it is now?"
Yang Ping'an seemed to understand what Lord Long meant: "Dean, if I become famous, I might be able to find a bigger backer than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Is that what you mean?"
Duke Long nodded, but his face was a little tangled: "With your current strength and knowledge, you will definitely be favored by major forces. These are beyond the strength of my Meng family, but I will give you a suggestion. Even if you choose any force, you must not choose the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
Yang Pingan couldn't help but smile: "Dean, are you worrying too much? The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is at least one of the top three sects, and it dominates the world."
Lord Long couldn't help but laugh at this time: "You little rascal, maybe your understanding of the spirit master world is just based on rumors. Today I will teach you a lesson, which can be regarded as my final teaching to you."
"Among the many forces in this world, the only ones that can really be ranked are the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Three Upper Sects, and the Four Lower Sects. Other than that, even my Exotic Beast Academy is far behind them."
"There is no need to say more about the Spirit Hall and the two empires. The Spirit Hall has a large number of high-level spirit masters and even more experts. The overall spirit master strength is the strongest. The spirit masters of the two empires are slightly weaker, but they should not be underestimated. Moreover, they have millions of troops. These three parties can be called the three overlords."
"And the top three sects are able to stay away from the Spirit Hall and the two empires, and sometimes they can even ignore the demands of these three major forces. This shows that they have the capital to be detached from the world."
"Whether it is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, their sects not only have at least one Titled Douluo, but also a large number of Soul Douluo. Although the exact number is unclear, there are at least ten of them, and the number of total Soul Masters exceeds a thousand. You should know that I have practiced hard for my entire life but still cannot break through to the Titled Douluo realm."
"As for the lower four sects, although their reputations are not as loud as the upper three sects, their strength is definitely not weak. In normal lower four sects, the sect masters are usually top Soul Douluo, and there are usually five to ten Soul Douluo in the sect, or even more than ten. The total number of Soul Masters is also around one thousand. Even the upper three sects dare not underestimate them."
Yang Ping'an was also surprised when he heard these words. Although he knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had 1,800 soul masters, he only grew up in the outer sect when he was a child and did not know their true strength. No wonder the three major sects dared to challenge the Spirit Hall.
Judging from this kind of strength, it is almost impossible for him to seek revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for him to slaughter all 1,800 soul masters.
Duke Long continued, "Do you know what the strongest aspects of these seven sects are?"
Yang Pingan quickly bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Dean."
Duke Long couldn't help but sigh: "It can't be called guidance, I'm just telling you, the most terrifying thing about the seven major sects is not their current strength, but their heritage."
"Think about it, these seven major sects can be said to have been passed down for countless years. The top three sects have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Even the bottom four sects have generally been passed down for more than a thousand years. Even if the disciples of the top three sects may be relatively poor in a certain generation, they can still cultivate Titled Douluo. This is their foundation and heritage, and it is also where they are truly powerful."
"Although my Meng family has been passed down for many years, I am the only Soul Douluo. Even though I have a certain reputation in the Soul Master world, in terms of foundation and overall strength, there is still a huge gap compared to those sects."
When Yang Ping'an heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but think of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in the original novel. Although the sect leader Yu Yuanzhen was killed and the sect was destroyed, they still left behind a legacy. Ten thousand years later, Yu Xiaogang's descendants inherited the Golden Holy Dragon, and there were even other people who inherited the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and each of them was shining brightly.
Thinking of this, Yang Pingan's face showed an inexplicable hatred: "Dean, is there no way for me to get rid of the entanglement of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"
Lord Long shook his head: "There may be independent cultivators in this world, but even Dugu Bo still has to rely on the Tiandou Empire. Otherwise, with his behavior, he would have been killed by the Wuhun Empire long ago."
"Given your current situation, the best solution is to shine in the Soul Master Competition and then join a large force, even as a guest official."
"It's best to avoid the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. You should know that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is very exclusive. Even if you make a lot of contributions to them, I'm afraid you won't be able to get their dedicated training. In comparison, among other major forces, you may still have the possibility of development."
"Just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, although they both focus on their own main family, they will still train foreign talents to a certain extent, especially the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Their sect protector Douluo is not named Ning."
"If the time comes, even if you choose the Spirit Hall, it will be better than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
Yang Pingan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked with some doubt: "Dean, aren't you more opposed to the Spirit Hall? Why do you think the Spirit Hall is better than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"
Duke Long smiled bitterly, "Although the Spirit Hall has excluded dissidents over the years, their training of civilian talents is the best among the major forces, and they are the most protective of their talents. No force dares to maliciously target the talents of the Spirit Hall."
"Especially for a civilian soul master like you who has no background, perhaps the Spirit Hall is the best way out."

Yang Ping'an's face also became unusually serious at this time: "Thank you for the guidance, Dean. I feel that the Spirit Hall is not very friendly. I will make specific arrangements in the future after the Spirit Master Competition is over. I will definitely perform well in this Spirit Master Competition and help the academy achieve good results. This is also a thank you for the training of the dean over the years."
Lord Long also nodded at this time: "You are still a student of my Exotic Beast Academy. Before you graduate, no one can deal with you. I can also promise you that as long as you perform well enough in the Soul Master Competition, you will also have a share of the rewards in the future."
After expressing his gratitude, Yang Ping'an left the room alone. However, after he left the room, his originally serious expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Although Duke Long specifically mentioned the Spirit Hall just now, according to the original novel, Duke Long and his men should not be on good terms with the Spirit Hall. I'm afraid that what he said just now was also meant to test them. If he had really revealed his attitude just now, they might have turned against him directly. A mere Soul Sect member like him is no match for these people.
But no matter from which aspect, Long Gong's suggestion is also very good. It is indeed time for him to make an appearance, and he must make a grand appearance, preferably one that dazzles the eyes of the world.
The Soul Master Competition was the real show that he would be in charge of next. Besides, he had already become Ju Douluo's apprentice, so he had to send some kind of gift to the Spirit Hall, or make some achievements to establish his prestige. Otherwise, the situation would be very awkward for both himself and Ju Douluo in the future.
Yang Ping'an's current primary goal in this Soul Master Competition is to snipe Shrek, and his secondary goal is to demonstrate his talent and value. A person without value might not even be looked down upon by Ju Douluo.
