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

Chapter 179 Insatiable Desire
Now there are no obstacles between Chen Ping and the "golden apple" in front of him.

The rich aroma of fruit made Chen Ping feel as if he were strolling through an orchard.

Even though he hadn't eaten the fruit yet, just by smelling it, Chen Ping felt that his cultivation speed had increased slightly.

This was a tremendous joy for Chen Ping.

After consuming three Xuan Shui Pills, his cultivation speed had only barely increased to the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

Although Chen Ping was able to increase his cultivation speed by one or two levels with the help of drugs that stimulated his potential.

However, without the pressure of something like the Freshman Competition that urgently required him to improve his soul power level, Chen Ping did not continue to take out loans to accelerate his cultivation. Instead, he completed one overdraft cycle normally and then stopped overdrafting his potential.

This is why, although it seems that Chen Ping's soul power level has increased a lot in this academic year, in reality, after deducting the foundation he accumulated after reaching level 20 and the level 3 soul power he gained by absorbing a thousand-year soul ring, Chen Ping has only increased his level by four in total since the end of the freshman competition.

This is already the result of Chen Ping's hard work in not being left behind by the first group. Who could have predicted that Ning Tian and Dai Huabin, both second-year students, would be competing for the fastest breakthrough record of Soul Master?

Compared to these cultivation monsters, Chen Ping's cultivation progress, which he barely managed to keep up with through medication, exercise, and meditation, was simply insignificant.

As I said before, even if Chen Ping pedaled his rickety tricycle non-stop all day long, until the chain was smoking, it would still be hard to beat a car that drives for eight hours a day.

But all of this will soon become a thing of the past!
Chen Ping looked at the golden apple in front of him and swallowed hard. If he ate this golden apple, he could at least increase his innate soul power by one level, and with good luck, it was not impossible for him to increase it by two levels.

This is a personal talent that has been further enhanced after consuming the Mystic Water Pill!

Although the efficacy of this golden apple is far inferior to the celestial treasures in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it is still extremely precious.

If the potent medicinal herbs near the hot pot could transform Chen Ping's cultivation speed from pedaling a tricycle to driving a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The golden apple's improvement in Chen Ping's cultivation speed was at least like adding a battery and motor to his broken tricycle.

Without hesitation, Chen Ping picked up the "golden apple" in front of him and took a bite without hesitation.

Biting into the peel releases a strong, fresh, and fragrant aroma, as if it were a gift from nature.

The deliciousness of the fruit instantly filled his mouth, its flavor like sweet honey, nourishing every taste bud of Chen Ping's mouth.

The flesh was soft and elastic, sliding down the esophagus into Chen Ping's stomach, and seemed to melt away in an instant, transforming into surging power of light and life flowing through Chen Ping's body.

At this moment, every bite Chen Ping took felt like savoring the essence of nature, as if he were in a bright world.

He ate very carefully, holding the fruit in one hand and supporting it with the other, not wanting to waste even the juice that dripped down.

If Chen Ping felt refreshed, clear-headed, and cool after consuming the Mysterious Water Pill, then...

So when Chen Ping ate the golden apple, he felt soothed, comfortable, and warm.

Feeling the effects of the golden apple, Chen Ping actually drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, Chen Ping seemed to have arrived at a hot spring in a snowy landscape. The leisurely and comfortable feeling made Chen Ping almost want to groan out loud.

It's freezing cold outside, but the hot spring is warm and comforting. Is there anything happier than this?

Golden energy flowed through Chen Ping's pores.

Chen Ping's 48,000 pores seemed to be breathing, rhythmically exhaling and inhaling golden energy.

Each time a golden stream of air burst forth, it was accompanied by a barely perceptible amount of black ash, the residue from Chen Ping's body that had been dried and burned by the power of light within the fruit.

It was ejected from his body, carried by a golden stream of air. This saved Chen Ping the trouble of washing the sheets again.

Although these ashes also sprayed out of Chen Ping's body, they were much easier to deal with than the sticky filth that the Xuan Shui Pill had washed out before.

However, this also shows that the impurities in Chen Ping's body are significantly less than when he first took the Xuan Shui Dan.

The golden aura only lasted for half an hour before dust stopped emanating from Chen Ping's body, and the golden aura gradually receded, flowing towards Chen Ping's dantian.

Level 28!

The abundant nutrients inside the fruit were nourishing Chen Ping's dantian, and in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Ping advanced one level.

Immediately afterwards, more and more power converged towards Chen Ping's dantian.

Every muscle on Chen Ping's muscular body, which looked as if it had been sculpted with a whetstone, was now emitting a faint golden light.

This also means that Chen Ping's cultivation level is steadily and systematically increasing, just like accumulating sand to form a tower.

The next day.

When Chen Ping woke up again, the feeling of having slept so well made him stretch out vigorously, his bones cracking and popping.

"Level 29? This golden apple not only increases the speed of soul power cultivation, but it also increases the soul power level?"

Chen Ping was already greatly surprised after just sensing his own soul power level.

As expected of the Golden Ancient Tree, which is the only one of its kind in the entire Douluo Continent, it takes nearly a thousand years to produce twelve golden apples.

Not only did it significantly boost his cultivation talent, but the remaining energy also helped him advance two levels.

This is basically equivalent to consuming two more Soul-Upgrading Pills.

Breaking through to the Soul Master realm is just around the corner!
Chen Ping had originally thought that cultivating the remaining three levels of soul power would be extremely difficult.

For Chen Ping, breaking through to the Soul Master level before the start of the third grade next year would already be a tremendous victory.

As a result, after eating a golden apple, both his cultivation level and speed increased, and the Soul Venerable realm was practically within reach.

In as little as one month or as long as two months, Chen Ping was confident that he could break through to the Soul Venerable realm.

Cool!
This was Chen Ping's strongest thought at that moment.

He knew that there was no future in just hunching over and practicing.

No man can get rich without windfall gains, and no horse can get fat without night grass. If you want to level up, you still have to rely on drugs!
I wonder how many golden apples Old Mu has left.
Having just finished eating a golden apple, Chen Ping was already eyeing the remaining stock of Old Master Mu's apples.

Since the first Xuan Shui Pill is the most effective, the second is the second most effective, and the third is basically ineffective, could the Golden Apple be the same?

What does it mean to be insatiable? Chen Ping's current state perfectly exemplifies this.

These treasures are only twelve in a thousand years. Being able to eat even one is already a blessing. To covet any more would be going too far.

However, this is also human nature. Without the ambition to exploit all resources, Chen Ping probably wouldn't have reached his current level.
