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

Chapter 24: Insect Stick - Touching the Dragon

"Ok?"

Watching the Dragon King's right arm bone snap onto the willow stick as if it were a magnet.

Not to mention that Chen Ping had never seen this scene, even Beibei had never seen it.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, neither of them saying a word.

Fortunately, it was Beibei who broke the deadlock in the end. She pointed at Chen Ping's willow stick with a look of shock on her face.

"Hey, Chen Ping, your soul bone has melted!"

"Melt?"

Chen Ping felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this. What does it mean to turn the soul into bones?

Turning his head suddenly, Chen Ping looked at his martial soul and the soul bone absorbed by it.

The right arm bone originally had intact bones, and emitted a faint golden glow. The soul bone's brilliance was restrained, but the strong energy fluctuations were enough to frighten any young soul master.

At this moment, it collapsed limply on the willow stick like a piece of melted clay.

This incredible situation made Chen Ping feel at a loss for a moment. He had never heard of such a situation as soul bone melting. Not only did it not appear in the "Five Three" he was reading, but it also did not appear in the original novel.
Hey, the original book seems to have mentioned a similar place, it seems to be when Xiao Xiao absorbed the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Not only did the right metacarpal bone nearly melt Xiao Xiao's palm, but it was also taken over by Huo Gua.

It turned into a ball of golden liquid soul bone, which was successfully absorbed by Huo Gua and became the external soul bone on Huo Gua's body.

But what’s the point of this soul bone turning into a martial soul?

After hesitating for just one or two seconds, the bones in the right arm of the Dragon King had completely melted. Unless he used a shovel, it would be difficult to collect them again.

Looking at each other, they were both obviously at a loss for words about this sudden change, but as time went on, Chen Ping's martial spirit began to change slightly.

It seemed as if it was swallowing up the soul bone solution. However, in just a few breaths, it was visible to the naked eye that the soul bone solution attached to the willow stick seemed to have decreased by 10%.

In contrast, the willow stick, which used to have uneven grain and scales like armor, not to mention cracks in the wood grain, now has a smoother texture.

The stick, which was originally rough and uneven, and felt extremely bad to hold, and was covered with layers of rough materials like fish scales, now feels a bit more delicate.

If Chen Ping's martial spirit was of poor quality before, like a stick picked from a willow tree to beat a child, the type that would have to be broken into pieces and burned as firewood after hitting the person.

Nowadays, Chen Ping's willow stick was at least carefully selected by the children of a village. It was the straightest, most delicate and best feeling willow stick.

Although it is still a willow stick, if Chen Ping's martial soul was originally of inferior quality among lower-level martial souls, now its appearance has reached the average level of lower-level martial souls.

To put it simply, it is an ordinary martial soul with a little bit of weak soul power. It is not ugly, but it is not good-looking either.

Chen Ping exerted a little force on the willow stick, and the change in the feel made him confirm one thing almost instantly.

His willow stick has been greatly improved in terms of toughness and other basic parameters compared to the past.

If Chen Ping used the current willow stick to knock down the big dragon king again, he would be confident that he could turn the opponent over directly.

Instead of knocking the opponent sideways, he had to rely on Tang Ya's help to finally pull the opponent over.

And this is just the beginning.

Looking at the willow stick, which emitted a faint golden luster after completely devouring the entire soul bone solution, Chen Ping suddenly understood something. No wonder his martial spirit needed to consume tens of thousands of academic points to complete a complete test.

His martial soul is indeed of the same type as Yu Xiaogang's. Both are incompletely evolved, which makes them look particularly useless. If they were fully evolved, they would be very powerful.

It may be due to congenital deficiencies, or other reasons, but in the end, only an underdeveloped version was produced, such as Luo Sanpao and his inferior willow stick.

But the question is, why does my martial soul have to devour soul bones to become less useless?
Just hold on, can't I wait until I get to Yuanyang Hot Pot and find some magical items for you?

Chen Ping covered his chest with some heartache. This was 100,000 gold soul coins, and it only slightly improved the quality of his martial soul?

Although I don’t know what kind of magical item from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire can upgrade the willow stick, we can try it first.

Even if we find out in the end that this martial soul cannot evolve like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it will still be in time for us to eat soul bones, right?
Just as Chen Ping was writing an obituary in his heart for his missing 100,000 gold soul coins.

For example, when he was writing "A Memorial to the Huge Sum of Money Flying in" and "A Memorial to the Emperor on the Hundred Thousand Gold Coins", the willow stick in Chen Ping's hand unexpectedly underwent other changes.

Those segments that looked like the pale golden chitinous shell of a tentacle dragon were not illusory, but actually "grew" out of the wooden stick.

They are lined up in rows, one ring after another, tightly connected, and each section sparkles with a metallic luster, both hard and flexible.

These segments gradually wrapped around the entire willow stick, transforming it from a simple wooden weapon into a new weapon full of vitality.

Even Beibei was startled by this sudden change, and he hurried over to touch Chen Ping's stick.

When he stretched out his hand, he felt something cold, a bit like the feeling of using the Thunder Dragon Claw to hit the Dragon King.

Seventy-two sections of light golden shell composed of alternating long and short sections completely wrapped the entire willow stick.

The pale golden shell of the tentacle dragon sparkles in the light, like a lifelike trumpet tentacle dragon.

Just from the appearance, it is more than one level higher than the willow stick just now.

But this was far from the end. Soon, the willow stick, which was now covered with a thick layer of shell, began to tremble slightly.

"Kengkeng!"

Two sounds rang out at the same time, almost forming a line.

At the two ends of the willow stick, a pair of large teeth that originally grew next to the Dragon King's mouth suddenly emerged from the two ends of the willow stick.

There were large white spots on both ends of the willow stick, one on each side, one facing forward and one facing backward, which added a bit of ferocity to the willow stick.

It was clearly just a long stick, but it carried a bit of the fierceness of the Insect King.

By the way, people nowadays don’t call it by this name anymore!
Chen Ping carefully felt the information conveyed to him by his martial soul and soon learned the new name of his martial soul.

Insect stick—touch the dragon!
He casually swung the stick, and the next moment, a whirring sound was heard in the ears of Chen Ping and Beibei.

Along with it, there were two indistinct loud sounds - these were the sounds of the extremely sharp blades at both ends of the long stick tearing through the air.

Just by listening to the thick sound, you can tell how painful it is when the dragon-touching stick is swung and hits someone!
Compared to the weak sound of breaking through the air when the willow stick was swung before, the sound of breaking through the air by the dragon-touching stick sounded much more powerful.

If we say that a few minutes ago, Chen Ping's martial soul was on the same level as Tang Ya's blue silver grass.

Then, considering the striking power and other excellent basic panels of the current Dragon Touching Stick, it can at least be on the same level as intermediate martial spirits such as the Ghost Vine.
