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

Chapter 170 Martial Soul Re-evolution

Seeing Chen Ping's movements freeze for a moment, Qian Duoduo was amused and poured Chen Ping a cup of tea.

"It's just the two of us in this office, master and apprentice. You expect me to speak in riddles for you?"

"Besides, even if I don't tell you so bluntly, if you ask around a bit, wouldn't you be able to guess what this activity is for?"

Qian Duoduo leaned back comfortably in his office chair and said casually, "You've already become my apprentice, so don't worry about how much you'll get. Just take it."

"Anyway, the quota the academy gives you shouldn't be too low, so just take what you think is appropriate."

"If you see a soul bone, take the soul bone; if you see equipment, take the equipment. And if there are any rare metals that are prohibited, classified, or even secret, you should also bring some back for yourself."

"I don't have much influence with Elder Lin, the head of the Treasure Pavilion. When the Treasure Pavilion actually gets its hands on some top-grade rare metals, they're always stingy when it comes to distributing them to the Soul Guidance Department. You understand what I mean?"

At this point, Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow at Chen Ping, making Chen Ping both amused and exasperated.

Just then, Qian Duoduo's communication device on his desk rang.

"Hmm, that kid surnamed Huo is back? Damn, I thought he was dead out there."

"He's in your office, right? Okay, I'll be right there. Fanyu, don't rush to yell at him. Ask him first first."

After putting down the communication device, Qian Duoduo left the office in a hurry, leaving Chen Ping alone.

Judging from the conversation between Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu, Chen Ping felt that his guess was probably correct.

Because Mu Jin's secret soul bone didn't end up in Huo Yuhao's hands and was used as a cushion.

It seems that Huo Yuhao, who directly absorbed the 400,000-year-old Ice Emperor's soul bone and soul ring, was put through several extra days of trouble before completing the absorption of the soul ring.

This caused Huo Yuhao to miss the opportunity to use his 100,000-year soul ring to prepare for the competition.

Chen Ping clicked his tongue in admiration. If he had the chance, he would also like to show off like that; it was so cool.

But then, Chen Ping suddenly remembered something he had forgotten for a long time.

Does he still have a piece of soul bone that he hasn't dealt with yet?

Chen Ping scratched his head. Actually, it wasn't entirely because he had forgotten about it; it was mainly because after the freshman competition ended, he didn't have any fighting to do.

Without an urgent need to improve his combat power, Chen Ping naturally wouldn't have remembered that he had such a soul bone.

As for his holidays, he basically slept in the laboratory, so he didn't even think about the soul bone.

He went to take the upgrade assessment in the morning. There were several students taking the assessment before him. By the time he finished dealing with the Scorpion Tiger and arrived at the Soul Guidance Department, it was already noon.

However, there are still at least three or four hours until the treasure viewing party that evening.

It's the perfect time to absorb that soul bone.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping naturally picked up the lunch that Qian Duoduo had packed on his desk and hadn't had time to eat yet, and quickly stuffed it into his stomach.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Ping took the right leg bone of the Earth-Splitting Barbarian Elephant from his storage soul tool.

As expected, compared to when he first obtained this soul bone, Chen Ping's martial soul now craved it even more intensely. Holding the soul bone in his left hand, Chen Ping had just summoned the Dragon-Touching Staff soul bone when it was immediately attached to the staff with a "pop".

But this time, Chen Ping's soul power instantly began to flow wildly towards his martial soul, a change that was completely unexpected and took him by surprise.

Chen Ping is just a second-ring Soul Master, and he's not even a Soul Master with the ultimate attribute. How much Soul Power does he have in total?
Even with the divine skill of exercise meditation that continuously provides Chen Ping with extra energy, the soul power in Chen Ping's body still rapidly depleted, and in just a few minutes, it was already on the verge of running out.

Beneath Chen Ping's feet, two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, flickered intermittently, while the right leg bone of the Earth-Splitting Barbarian Elephant had completely melted and was sparsely scattered on the Dragon-Touching Staff.

"Baby bottle, yes, baby bottle."

Chen Ping pulled out more than a dozen level-four baby bottles, which Qian Duoduo had given him after his encounter with Zhong Liren.

We prepared one or two sets of melee, ranged, fixed, and auxiliary soul tools for him, just in case.

Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief after activating one of the level four healing bottles that could fully replenish the soul power reserves of an ordinary Soul Master.

Now, the problem of insufficient soul power is basically solved.

Feeling as if he had become a transit station, continuously drawing soul power from the milk bottle and injecting it into the Dragon-Touching Staff, Chen Ping couldn't help but wonder.

When he first used the willow stick to absorb the soul bone of the Dragon King, the quality of his martial soul also increased by one level, upgrading from a low-level martial soul to a mid-level martial soul.

Even so, he never encountered a phenomenon where his martial soul continuously craved soul power.

On the contrary, this time, even though it absorbed a soul bone of a savage elephant, the martial soul would most likely not improve its grade even if it absorbed the soul bone.

In this situation, why would one's own martial spirit so continuously crave soul power?

Looking at the spirit ring beneath his feet, which flickered like a faulty light bulb, Chen Ping seemed lost in thought.

If he remembered correctly, when his martial soul devoured the dragon soul bone, his yellow hundred-year soul ring didn't flash like that.

At this moment, the two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, beneath his feet were flashing continuously, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, which was very strange.

Anyway, since he had nothing else to do, and although his martial soul was constantly craving soul power, fortunately, there were no other problems with it for the time being.

So Chen Ping simply took the baby bottle in one hand and his martial spirit in the other, sat cross-legged on the ground, and carefully examined his two spirit rings.

His two spirit rings were dark yellow and light purple, respectively, and both had many strange patterns on them.

These patterns look somewhat like the core circuitry of a soul tool or a digital-to-analog circuit, but they are much more complex.

This thing is three-dimensional, and its complexity is several orders of magnitude higher than that of two-dimensional graphics.

Chen Ping guessed that this thing was probably the core of the soul skill.

After all, the reason why soul tools can realize various soul skills is that they are essentially based on the fact that the core magic circle is engraved with lines that can simulate the effects of various soul skills.

But the next moment, Chen Ping was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. The lines that formed the soul skills in his two semi-transparent soul rings were changing rapidly!
