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

Chapter 151 Breakthrough to the Thousand Forging Realm
Chen Ping's suggestion was quickly followed by the fact that all the soul tools in Zhong Liren's storage soul tool were sent to the inner courtyard.

If they're lucky, the academy will likely gain something from those tokens and soul tools.

However, this was not within Chen Ping's consideration.

Chen Ping's life returned to peace after a long time. Apart from studying, eating, and resting, his busiest tasks were being dragged by Ning Tian and Wu Feng to cook special meals for him from time to time, and preparing food for the auspicious beast every half month.

That's why Chen Ping was happy to be captured by Ning Tian and Wu Feng, as it would be a good opportunity to use the two of them as guinea pigs, a win-win situation.

During this time, Chen Ping also managed to finally obtain his second soul ring after many twists and turns.

The thousand-year-old Demon Eye Tree is very troublesome, and its hunting difficulty is no less than that of some ordinary ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts.

But Chen Ping is no longer the isolated and helpless man he once was. Under Qian Duoduo's Wulong Shield, the venom splashed by the Demon Eye Tree and its powerful mental intimidation skills were completely ineffective and were quickly suppressed.

The Second Ring Road is a thousand years old!

The most immediate effect of absorbing such a transcendent soul ring was that Chen Ping's soul power level jumped three levels, from level 20 to level 23.

This is the benefit of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit. The level increase is not limited by cultivation talent at all. The higher the age, the higher the spirit power level will be.

This gave Chen Ping a strange idea: if he could have the qualification to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring at level 30, could he directly send himself to level 40 with just one soul ring?
Yes, it's theoretically possible, but it's only theoretically possible.

However, it is a fact that the higher the age of the spirit ring, the greater the increase in the spirit master's spirit power level.

This made Chen Ping pay more attention to training his physical strength.

Unlike Huo Gua's busy holiday, Chen Ping found himself in an awkward situation after finishing his first academic year, unsure of where to go.

After finally finishing a whole school year, most students naturally choose to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Even Huo Yuhao, at least had a place in the far north to go, to persuade the Ice Emperor to make it his second martial soul.

Hmm. I wonder if Huo Yuhao, without the secret technique soul bone as a medium, can withstand the impact of directly absorbing the Ice Emperor soul bone. If he gets knocked unconscious, he'll be frozen into an icicle, won't he?
However, this is Huo Yuhao's own opportunity and challenge. Chen Ping doesn't have the ability to fool the Ice Emperor, so naturally he won't be envious of the other party's destiny.

He planned to try to reach the level of a second-level Soul Master during the holiday, and at the same time, experience the so-called Blacksmith realm.

Yes, throughout the entire academic year, Chen Ping not only improved his Soul Master level, but also made rapid progress in his mastery of Soul Tools.

The reason is simple: as a semi-research dog who had spent a lot of time in the lab in his previous life, Chen Ping is very adaptable to the learning environment of the Soul Guidance Department, and can even make a group of senior students feel uneasy.

As a freshman, I spend weekends in the lab, bringing my own sleeping mat, working all night, and only taking a short nap after sunrise. I only manage to eat one meal a day.

That's not the most infuriating thing. What's most infuriating is that this guy not only rolls around, but when he gets tired of rolling around, two beautiful women come to the Soul Guidance Department to call him back. Every time he comes back the next day, he's full of energy and ready to start forging iron again. That's really annoying.

At this moment, Chen Ping was busy doing something in front of Qian Duoduo's private soul guide production table.

Even for someone as prestigious as the vice-principal of Shrek Academy, Qian Duoduo's soul tool production table only had bellows, a furnace, a forging hammer, an anvil, and the like. Compared to the Sun Moon Empire's integrated stamping soul tool machine, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Amidst the clanging and banging, Chen Ping held iron tongs in one hand and wielded an iron hammer in the other, heating up pieces of rare metal and hammering them into the shapes he desired.

Compared to his short stature when he first enrolled, Chen Ping's height quickly grew like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, thanks to the ample food supply he received every day.

Standing at over 1.7 meters tall, he doesn't look like a twelve-year-old boy, but rather a young man in his twenties.

Although they can't compare to the towering figures of the Soul Guidance System like He Caitou, Fan Yu, and Qian Duoduo, who are often 1.8 meters, 1.9 meters, or even 2.2 meters tall.

Fortunately, judging from the fullness of his muscles, Chen Ping, after a year of training, was by no means inferior to them.

That's why, even though Chen Ping hasn't reached the Soul Venerable realm yet, he can wield these heavy hammers effortlessly.

The clanging and banging sounds echoed continuously in the room, like a melodious sonata in a garden at night.

Soon, a piece of refined steel with impurities removed appeared in front of Chen Ping. This process was called purification in the first and second stages of the Dou process, but in the third stage, it was called hundred-times forging.

This is why Chen Ping didn't try to replicate the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Experiment Table using his own memories.

He's not Huo Yuhao, who can use mental detection to replicate all the blueprints of the Soul Guidance Experiment Table. Even if he could replicate it, the rare metal parts he could cut and process using the Soul Guidance Experiment Table could only be called casting.

Metal parts hammered out by hand, based on the internal texture and life rhythm of the metal, even if two parts are exactly the same, are forged rather than cast.

To be honest, Chen Ping was shocked when he first learned about this viewpoint and was puzzled as to whether the so-called internal texture of metals refers to the arrangement of atoms inside the metal.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't guess where the internal texture of a clean piece of metal could be found.

But after he persisted in practicing his skills in the Soul Guidance Department for a year, he finally felt what it was all about.

Because he discovered that the metals he understood were not quite the same as the metals on the Douluo Continent. The rare metals on the Douluo Continent basically all had the characteristics of layered Damascus steel!
These metals do indeed contain strange patterns, but only after being forged a thousand times can they be successfully presented to the world.

Just like how Damascus steel blades must be acid-washed to create beautiful patterns.

However, being able to feel the texture inside the metal is still quite different from actually bringing it out completely.

Even though Chen Ping exchanged several copies of folk blacksmithing videos he had watched before as learning materials.

However, due to the differences in forging techniques between the two worlds, the properties of the forged metals are vastly different. Therefore, despite Chen Ping's considerable efforts, he still failed to reach the level of "thousand-times forging".

try again!
Chen Ping's gaze sharpened. The other components of the soul tool he wanted to make today, as well as the core array, could be replaced with rare metals that had been cut and shaped. The only exception was the turbine blades that needed to withstand high-temperature jets.
