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

Chapter 214 If it doesn't work, then I'll just die?

The golden crystal, which had previously shone brightly in Chen Ping's hands, now performed another extraordinary feat.

Within the cramped passageway, the spherical protective shield made of golden crystal instantly shattered the surrounding passageway and became firmly embedded in the cave wall.

The impact of the explosion was terrifying, but when faced with the invincible shield sphere that had completely crushed the rock wall and was embedded in the tunnel, the first wave of terrifying impact and surging heat pounded on the sphere, barely managing to make it creak and pop, and forcibly pushing the shield sphere back a few meters.

This is an invincible protective sphere that completely crushed the rock wall; in terms of architectural level, it's equivalent to building materials wedged into the building using a mortise and tenon structure!

Even the terrifying shockwave from the explosion still pushed the entire protective sphere several meters away, and the rock wall near the sphere was directly cut with two arc-shaped wounds. The mountain was crushed, which shows how terrifying this explosion was.

Looking at the surging fire clouds and flying sand outside the invincible shield, the terrifying scene that resembled hell and was only a few meters away from them, the group subconsciously swallowed.

Chen Ping had already devised all the possible solutions the moment the Zhongli brothers arrived.
However, Chen Ping had arranged for everyone to retreat into the tunnel early on, and skillfully used the invincible protective sphere that had expanded to isolate the shock wave of the explosion in the tunnel.

Could this guy have already thought about all sorts of uses for the gold crystals after he was captured by Zhongli last year?
The answer is indeed so.

Otherwise, why would Chen Ping buy that golden crystal at the treasure appreciation event?
The Invincible Shield is a soul tool that is at least level five. It's hard to say when he will be able to make a soul tool of this level.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Chen Ping was attracted by the inherent properties of the gold crystal, rather than by the invincible shield that the gold crystal could create.

The three seconds passed quickly, and the invincible protective shield sphere formed by the explosion of the golden crystal also dissipated instantly.

The intensely hot air, so hot that just inhaling it would scald one's lungs, carried dust and heat waves, and poured out onto everyone as if it had found an outlet.

Suddenly, everyone's hairstyles started to look strange.

Except for Ma Xiaotao, who is resistant to high temperatures due to her own martial soul, everyone present had their hair curled up and became scorched and hot due to the extremely high temperature and heat waves.

Well, that's quite something. They went out to carry out a prosecutorial team mission, and when they came back, the male trainees had permed hair and the female trainees had big waves in their hair.

"Puff puff"

Yao Haoxuan spat out the sand that had been poured into his mouth with a helpless expression; his tongue was blistered from the scalding sand.

This shows just how terrifying the high temperature of the explosion was.

"It should all be over, right?"

Xixi touched her short hair, which had been permed by the high temperature, with lingering fear. Her face was somewhat pale.

She had just been bitten by a wolf-like beast spirit in a near-fatal attack, and now everything in front of her was almost entirely white. She was only able to stand by relying on her willpower.

Attacks like Beast Souls, which can directly damage the essence of the spirit, are almost ineffective against spirit-type Soul Masters with strong spiritual power or Soul Masters of the same level as the Zhongli brothers, but they are very effective against weaker opponents.

Unfortunately, those present were the ones who ended up on the receiving end.

Therefore, the people in the inner courtyard were not in very good condition at the moment.

"The end? You ants who toyed with the great Beast Soul Master, are you only now feeling fear?"

The next moment, two enormous gray snakes, each estimated to be two meters tall and seven or eight meters long, appeared at the end of the passageway, their scarlet eyes fixed intently on the crowd. Neither snake was in good condition. The one on the left was likely Zhongli Tian in disguise, for the simple reason that it bore the most severe injuries, while the other snake's injuries were less severe.

This is probably because the Crimson Gold Lion, as the natal beast soul, had half of its head blown off by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Roaring Strike before it could block the damage for Zhong Litian. Naturally, it could withstand less explosive damage, which led to its own injuries being more severe.

It’s over.

This was Chen Ping's only thought at that moment.

Half a minute had passed since the Zhongli brothers appeared, which was all the time Chen Ping could manage to buy himself after all his scheming.

If Xuanzi can get there within thirty seconds, they will survive.

Thirty seconds have passed, and Xuanzi has not yet arrived. Looking at the Zhongli brothers, who have transformed into two giant Netherworld snakes in their Martial Soul True Form state, Chen Ping is now at his wit's end.

If it doesn't work, then let's just die?
This whole thing is so complicated, it's like there are other solutions.

Although the beast souls within the Zhongli brothers' beast soul staffs were all blasted to ashes by those fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, and their natal beast souls, which were connected to their lifeblood, were also destroyed, the two brothers suffered severe injuries.

But no matter what, these are two Soul Douluos who still possess their Martial Soul True Forms!
At this point, almost everyone in their group was injured, and the only ones who could really hold on for a little longer were Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.

Expecting these two people to take on two Soul Douluos who have activated their Martial Soul True Form is simply wishful thinking.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Ping once again grasped the Life Carving Knife in his hand.

"Gentlemen, it's time to leave it to fate. If anyone is accidentally killed because of me, then accept it."

Chen Ping gripped the carving knife tightly; he did indeed have one last trump card.

But this trump card is like the coin of destiny in Dungeon Fighter Online. If it's heads, you'll be fully healed; if it's tails, you'll be instantly killed by divine punishment. It's a desperate gamble where everything depends on fate.

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, the inner court students, who had long been prepared to die at the hands of evil spirit masters, all burst into laughter.

From Chen Ping's words, one can tell that once he reveals this side of himself, he will be ruthless, showing no regard for friend or foe, and showing no mercy to family.

But so what? By joining the Shrek Supervisory Group, they were already prepared to die in battle.

It's a pity that this annihilation wasn't due to Chen Ping's tactical arrangements. The two Evil Soul Douluos who were outside the tactical board won't give them a chance to do better in the next mission.

"Hehehe, you little brat who haven't even grown any hair yet, who are you trying to scare? You think you can make us back down with just a few words?"

"You killed my brother, you damned brat! You'll pay with your life, hehehehe!"

Although Zhong Litian was the most seriously injured at this moment, he laughed wildly. Large patches of snake scales had fallen off and were bleeding in his Martial Soul True Form state, making him look quite miserable, but the ferocity in his eyes did not diminish at all.

He has suffered more serious injuries than this more than once or twice in his life. How could he be so easily intimidated by Chen Ping, a great soul master?
Hmm. In a moment of desperation, he broke through the barrier of soul power level and became a quasi-Soul Master, but what's the point of that?

Zhongli Tian's bloodthirsty eyes carefully observed Chen Ping. Once he was sure that Chen Ping had no other abilities, he suddenly lunged forward, his massive snake body seemingly spring-loaded as he sprang towards Chen Ping!
