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

Chapter 202 Believing Yu Xiaogang's Boasting

The group's journey did not come to an end until noon.

Chen Ping glided down from the air with a calm expression, clearly indicating that the performance of the new level-two flying soul tool even exceeded his expectations.

Now it wasn't just Dai Yueheng who was interested in this thing; Ning Tian couldn't help but be tempted as well.

She didn't intend to take advantage of Chen Ping like Dai Yueheng did, by simply buying out his technology; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't short of money.

A flying soul tool that can be used by a level two Great Soul Master, and one that can fly for a long time, is quite useful for the disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In Ning Tian's eyes, the flying soul tool that Chen Ping, a great soul master, could use was perhaps no less significant than the hidden weapons that Tang San sold to the sect back then.

Giving support Soul Masters in sects, who have little combat ability, the ability to quickly maneuver and retreat can indeed greatly improve their survival efficiency.

The investment Ning Fengzhi made in purchasing hidden weapons ten thousand years ago preserved the vast majority of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength, making it undoubtedly a good deal.

However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School actually treated Tang San's investment as a mixed bag of bad debts.

After all, no one knows why it wasn't the most resilient Tang Hao who died on the eve of that divine battle, but instead met a tragic end with broken swords, shattered bones, and white hair.

No one knows why Tang San's biological mother and wife could be resurrected, and even his two brothers-in-law were suspected of being resurrected, while Jian Gu and the other two died completely in the end.

There are very few records about that era that have survived.

However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School later added an ancestral precept: "When investing in a person, don't just look at what they say, but also what they do."

This person was truly terrified by Tang San's saying, "Once a teacher, always a father."

Ning Fengzhi back then was absolutely convinced by Yu Xiaogang's boastful claims.

He was convinced by Yu Xiaogang's constant praise of Tang San, saying things like Tang San kowtowed to him on their first meeting, which led him to repeatedly bet on Tang San.

Who knew that in the end Tang San would completely disown his father and let Yu Xiaogang grow old and die in Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, Chen Ping had been exposed to too many empty and grandiose principles, so he generally didn't like to talk about these grand principles and would just do what he thought of.

This actually gave Ning Tian more confidence and ideas to invest in Chen Ping. At least, she could do what Ning Fengzhi did before and first ask Chen Ping to purchase some flying soul tools.

The copyright of the so-called flying soul tool that Chen Ping mentioned belongs to Qian Duoduo. He can fool Dai Yueheng, but he can't fool her.

Chen Ping has virtually no social circle. Apart from chatting with He Caitou in the lab and occasionally talking with classmates during breaks, he spends most of his time cultivating like an ascetic.

Chen Ping only talks more when they eat together in the cafeteria or when he asks them to research the dishes each week. They discuss problems they encounter in their studies and some interesting discoveries worth sharing.

Therefore, Ning Tian was certain that this flying soul tool was definitely not Qian Duoduo's work; at least a significant portion of it was completed by Chen Ping.

The reason he said that was probably just to cover his tracks.

Fortunately, there was no rush to purchase the flying soul tool. At noon, the group benefited from Chen Ping's cooking and enjoyed his meal. Everyone ate and drank their fill, looking completely satisfied.

After traveling for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Ahead, a large military camp blocked their way.

Dai Yueheng, the user of the Face Fruit in the Star Luo Frontier region, quickly activated his Devil Fruit ability, obtaining more than a dozen military-grade flying soul tools from the local military camp.

After switching to their flying soul tools, the group traveled for a while and finally arrived at the western border of the Star Luo Empire in the dead of night. It was the darkest time of the night, with no starlight or moonlight, and they could not see their own hands in front of their faces.

Soon, streaks of dazzling light pierced the night sky and then landed slowly and orderly on the ground; it was Shrek Academy's group.

Their arrival caused quite a stir, and soon, streaks of light descended from the distant sky, landing precisely in their direction.

The elderly man with a stern face who was leading the group was none other than Old Man Du, named Du Leisi.

Yes, this name fits the naming habits of people in Douluo Continent.

Soon, Dai Yueheng once again used his influence to successfully lead the group into the military camp and obtain intelligence about the target.

According to intelligence, the Death Hand bandit gang's main area of ​​operation is in the central Mingdou Mountains. The gang consists of more than 300 people, all of whom are young and middle-aged.

Soul Masters accounted for about one-tenth of the total.

There is no accurate information about who the leader of the bandit gang is; all that is known is that he is a Soul Master with a cultivation level of Soul King or above, and his abilities are unknown.

The hand of death never leaves anyone alive; its methods are extremely cruel.

In addition, the military camp recently uncovered a fur smuggling case, seizing more than 700 furs from various spirit beasts, with a value exceeding 20,000 gold spirit coins.

Each of these fur coats, when spread out, costs less than thirty gold soul coins, but the key is that the person smuggling these fur coats is a member of the Death Hand Bandit Gang.

Unfortunately, these people were just low-level thugs of the Death Hand bandit gang, and the military camp was unable to extract any information from them.

This is the intelligence that the military has gathered to the best of its ability without affecting its garrison.

The Mingdou Mountains are a sensitive area that serves as a border, and even flying soul tools cannot be used for reconnaissance over them.

Looking at the briefing in his hand, Chen Ping fell into deep thought.

Did the original book mention this fur smuggling case?

Was it because they thought the matter was too small to be worth mentioning, or because their own actions had a butterfly effect that catalyzed this smuggling case?

"Alright, time is of the essence. Now that we have the map and briefing, let's get going."

Ma Xiaotao put away the briefing and map, and then prepared to leave with everyone.

The group from Shrek Academy followed Ma Xiaotao without any objection, as if they were already used to doing so.

Chen Ping was stunned after hearing Ma Xiaotao's words. Was she really going to go up there and risk her life?

He originally thought that Shrek's preparations for dealing with the Death Hand bandits in the original story were glossed over, but now that he sees it, isn't that pure nonsense?

This is an attempt to crush everyone by relying on a high enough soul power level without any prior intelligence!

It would be strange if the mortality rate wasn't high; no wonder so few members of the Shrek Inspection Team survived!
Ma Xiaotao also noticed the unusual situation with the reserve team.

None of the seven reserve team members, led by Chen Ping, actually set off.

Chen Ping merely raised his hand slightly, and the other six reserve team members all stopped temporarily, as if it were a spell.
