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

Chapter 252 can be exchanged for points.

"Ah! Alright, a VIP has bid 800,000 gold soul coins. Is there any other VIP who would like to bid?"

Qingya then came to her senses and quickly responded.

Silence. The atmosphere on the field remained eerily quiet.

Many of the guests present guessed from Chen Ping and the others' conversation that they were students of Shrek Academy, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

That's not surprising. So what if it's a curse? Shrek Academy can even train monsters like Chen Ping, so how could they not deal with a curse?
However, spending 800,000 gold soul coins just to buy a shop assistant and collect some blood for medicine shows that the Shrek Academy people really don't blink an eye when it comes to spending money.
It must be said that the people of Douluo Continent do have an almost superstitious feeling towards Shrek Academy, perhaps because Shrek Academy replaced the Spirit Hall in terms of ecological niche.

Whether it was Huo Yuhao with six 100,000-year soul rings in the original story, or Chen Ping casually saying that he had a way to solve the curse, the people did not doubt it at all, and only felt that it was a matter of course.

But in reality, Chen Ping estimated that Shrek Academy didn't really have the ability to deal with the curse power within the dragon girl.

The reason Chen Ping wasn't worried about the curse power within the other party was that someone as skilled in the way of the soul as Electrolux would surely have a solution.

However, it's hard to say whether Electrox has retained the memories of dealing with the power of the curse, given the limited memories he has at this point.

Secondly.
"Boss, quickly take this dragon girl down and make her release the curse power within her towards you. I can exchange that curse power for academic points for you!"

Chen Ping's system started chattering again in Chen Ping's mental sea.

"Can the curse power of this thing be exchanged for academic excellence points?"

Chen Ping was completely taken aback when his system said something like that. What a stroke of good luck!
"Yes, besides the Dragon Girl's Curse of Misfortune which can be exchanged for Academic Excellence Points, the Mermaid Blessing of the Sea Princess Clan, the Emperor Beast's Blessing of Great Fortune and Curse of Misfortune can all be exchanged for Academic Excellence Points."

"Well, boss, if you can get your hands on the legendary Blessing of the Goddess of Life, which requires stripping away 10% of the Goddess of Life's maximum divine power to unleash, I might give you 100 million points in exchange."

After hearing what the system said, only one sentence remained in Chen Ping's mind.

One hundred million, one hundred million, more than you could spend in a lifetime.
Chen Ping certainly knew what the system meant by the blessing of the Goddess of Life.

What the other party was saying was roughly about the legend of the God Realm, in which Tang San used the God of Destruction's coup to cause chaos in the entire God Realm, causing the Goddess of Life to bestow the power of blessing upon Tang Wulin out of guilt.

That thing, no matter what, requires the Goddess of Life, one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, to permanently strip away 10% of her own divine power limit to release a blessing. Even exchanging it for 100 million points felt like too little to Chen Ping.

However, this was far too far removed from his life, so Chen Ping focused his attention on the other blessings and curses mentioned by the system.

"When did auspicious beasts start having a curse effect called 'bad luck'? I didn't know that."

"I remember that the ancient Shrek books only recorded that 'Where there are auspicious beasts, all beasts are protected; with the blessing of good fortune, the future is limitless,' right?"

Chen Ping stroked his chin. The curses and blessings that the system was collecting at this moment all seemed to be closely related to luck.

Aside from the blessing of the goddess of life being based on the recipient's strong vitality, the other things seem to either bring great fortune or great misfortune.

For example, if a mermaid bestows her blessing upon another mermaid, it signifies a wish for them to become partners. However, releasing it to other intelligent life forms (excluding mermaids) brings good fortune—this was stated by the sea princess herself, so it's unlikely to be false.

Judging from what the system just said, it seems that in addition to receiving great fortune by drawing on the luck within the auspicious beast, the auspicious beast can also inflict the same curse of misfortune on people as the Dragon Girl.
Wow, this actually seems to work!
Chen Ping carefully recalled the details in the original work and found that this matter was still inextricably linked to Xuanzi.

At that time, Xuanzi not only slapped the auspicious beast a few times, but also sat it down on his backside. The three-eyed golden lion was so anxious that it cursed Xuanzi, wishing him a terrible death and endless bad luck.

Could this be the "curse of bad luck" that the system mentioned?

Soon, the system's answer confirmed Chen Ping's idea: "Each auspicious beast contains a vast amount of fortune, a small portion of which can be either guided and obtained or actively released by the auspicious beast as a curse."

"A life cursed by a mythical beast is not only doomed to death, but those who have been connected to the cursed person by threads of fate are also doomed. The effect is more threatening than the Dragon Girl's curse."

The system's words made Chen Ping nod thoughtfully.

So, if Xuanzi hadn't read that ancient book and forced Huo Yuhao to draw upon a portion of the auspicious beast's fortune, thus weakening the beast, and if the beast hadn't unleashed a curse upon Xuanzi, that old man would probably have had a much harder time.

That's such a shame.
Chen Ping clicked his tongue. He genuinely felt that with Xuanzi's unreliable nature, it was only natural that he would suffer a few days of bad luck after being hit by two curses of misfortune.

But can bad luck really kill Xuanzi?

Chen Ping always felt it was unreliable. What if Xuanzi didn't die from the curse, but happened to be taking his students on a mission and then killed off a bunch of them? That would be ridiculous.

Qingya on the auction stage had already made several procedural inquiries, hoping to see if any buyers would continue bidding, but the room remained silent.

No one was willing to pay a price for this strange and dangerous dragon girl.

Shrek Academy has a way to break the curse, but that doesn't mean they have a way to deal with it. Even if they thought about it carefully, there might be a risky way to obtain Daenerys's power, but no one would choose to do it.

After all, 800,000 gold soul coins are already equivalent to the price of a mediocre ten-thousand-year soul bone.

Such a large expenditure, even within a major sect, would only be paid to the sect leader, sect elders, and the sect's heir.

However, these types of people would absolutely never risk their lives to obtain the Dragon Girl's power.

If a person dies, they really lose everything; it's not just 800,000 that goes down the drain.

As for ordinary Soul Masters with no other options, they can certainly gamble on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, but who would invest 800,000 in them?
"Eight hundred thousand gold soul coins, third time. Sold!"

"Bang." The auction gavel fell, and inside the iron cage covered by a red cloth, the dragon girl trembled involuntarily.

She had no idea that she would actually be chosen, and panic and fear welled up in her heart at the same time.

But all she could do was curl up even tighter and hug herself; there was nothing else she could do.
