Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 138: Going Out to Hunt Souls
"Um"

Ning Tian glanced at the Soul-Devouring Knife that Chen Ping had already put away, and immediately pursed his lips.

"What an ugly carving knife! Is it really useful to buy such an ugly carving knife? And I heard it's very dangerous. Many owners have died because of it."

"If you want a carving knife, just tell me. Ranking knives are hard to come by, but I can lend you a few near-ranked knives that are ranked outside the top 100. You can use whichever one you like, and when you get tired of it, ask me to replace it."

Ning Tian's words immediately made Chen Ping scratch his head. He didn't get the Soul-Devouring Knife purely for its value as a carving knife.

This Soul-Devouring Knife may seem to be the last one on the list of carving knives, but in fact, it was cursed and killed its owner repeatedly, which is why it has been dropping down in the rankings to the bottom of the list.

In fact, the core material of this soul-devouring sword is a piece of living gold weighing about one kilogram.

What is the concept of Gold of Life? Even a million-year-old soul beast as big as the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can only extract one drop of Gold of Life, which is almost one gram.

Such a large piece of gold of life is equivalent to the condensed form of all the vitality extracted from the bodies of nearly a thousand Tianmeng ice silkworms.

Judging from the value alone, this Soul-Devouring Knife is the undisputed number one on the list of carved knives. The combined value of the remaining knives from second to one hundredth place cannot possibly exceed that of this knife.

Chen Ping just suddenly realized one thing, this list engraving knife is not a special fire from heaven and earth, it is a man-made list!
How big is the difference between the Dark Azure Dragon carving knife, which ranks 90th in the original novel, and the one hundred and first carving knife, which never appears in the original novel?
The ranking carving knife may be of great help in the production of soul guides, but it definitely does not mean that only the ranking carving knife can be used to produce top-level soul guides in the world. This is why Shrek only has two ranking carving knives.

Damn it, this so-called engraving knife list might have been pushed out by the Sun-Moon Empire. Two-thirds of the engraving knives on the list are in the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul masters. How can this be a recommended engraving knife list? Isn't this a pure tax on the rich?

Chen Ping silently kept this matter in mind. He had traveled to the three major empires over the years, but he had never actually visited the Sun-Moon Empire, so his impression of the Sun-Moon Empire was not very clear.

Now, with a glimpse of the whole picture, we can gain a better understanding of the Sun-Moon Empire.

How to say it, high emotional intelligence is the reason why the business atmosphere of the Sun and Moon Empire is so rich.

This trick of low emotional intelligence is probably similar to the three-day clearance sale at a clothing stall at your doorstep that hasn't sold out in a year. It's all a trick to trick people into spending money.

After putting the box away, Chen Ping suddenly laughed out loud: "This carving knife doesn't look very good, but it's not the problem of the carving knife itself, but because it once had an evil soul master as its owner."

"But it doesn't matter. What we Shrek are best at is killing evil soul masters. The curse left by an evil soul master is nothing."

After hearing this, Ning Tian suddenly understood and nodded.

It turns out that Chen Ping is still as good at making money as he was at the beginning of the school year. It doesn't take much effort to find a teacher in the college to remove a curse.

But in this case, a ranking engraving knife that only costs tens of thousands of gold soul coins would probably suddenly become hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gold soul coins, right?
As the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian knew very well that making money, to put it bluntly, was to buy low and sell high, and to buy cheap and sell expensive. But no matter what, these eight words all relied on information to survive.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping, a guy who only goes between the classroom, cafeteria and dormitory all year round, can actually grasp such accurate information. This makes Ning Tian even more curious about Chen Ping.

However, in just over a month, the net profit exceeded millions of gold soul coins, which is a considerable figure in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

What’s even more terrifying is Chen Ping’s interest rate, a profit of one thousand percent or even several thousand percent!

But even though he made such a huge sum of money, Chen Ping's expression was only somewhat happy.

This made Ning Tian feel as though she, the Young Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, was as naive as a rookie when it came to making money. So, between her and Chen Ping, who was truly from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
The next day, in front of the Shrek student dormitory building.

"Chen kid, let's go when you're ready."

At this time, Du Weilun was standing with another tall middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. His sturdy body even had a sense of majesty, just the style of a future Shrek City Lord.

At this moment, Shixing's attention was all on Moon lying in the rocking chair. He said something to Moon in a low voice with a respectful look on his face, and it was obvious that he had great respect for Moon.

"Okay, okay, everything is ready."

Chen Ping patted his storage ring, indicating that there were quite a few good things prepared inside.

Originally, Chen Ping planned to go to the Wuhun Department today to see if Yan Shaozhe could help purify the Soul-Devouring Sword.

But yesterday, not long after he got the Soul-Devouring Sword, he ran into Du Weilun, who said that he and Shi Xing were both free on the weekend.

Since that was the case, Chen Ping naturally had no reason to refuse. He directly said that he would go back to pack his luggage in the evening and go hunt for the second soul ring tomorrow.

At this time, Shi Xing finally finished greeting Mu Lao and looked at the energetic Chen Ping with a kind smile: "Chen Ping, hello, I am Shi Xing, the deputy city lord of our Shrek City, and I am also from Shrek."

"You've been very famous lately. Even I hear about you often."

Chen Ping and Shi Xing now knew each other.

The three of them said hello to Mr. Mu, then left the academy and headed straight for the south gate facing the Star Dou Forest.

The two great Soul Douluos came to escort them, just to hunt down a soul beast that was no more than a thousand years old.

For Chen Ping, Du Weilun and Shi Xing, this trip was no different from a vacation.

If their lineup can still fail in the outer area of ​​​​Star Dou Forest, Chen Ping, Du Weilun and Shi Xing will all be killed by the computer screen.

There is no computer screen in Douluo Continent?
That's fine.

But no matter what, Chen Ping felt that the safety factor of their trip was still very secure.

After all, at least this time they were going to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, and there was no Xuan Laodengzi among the entourage.

This is why Chen Ping is so relaxed.

As soon as he left the dormitory building, he had prepared what Du Weilun had said. What he prepared was nothing else but the fine thirteen spices he had been collecting since he settled in Shrek Academy, and made from materials of plant-type soul beasts.

Well. It sounds cruel, but considering how tempting it is to sprinkle this stuff on a roasted animal-type soul beast, it doesn't matter if it's a little cruel.
