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

Chapter 354 The Founder of the Domain (3K)

To be honest, if given a choice, Chen Ping felt that Xuan Ziwen was a bit better.

After all, Xuan Ziwen's soul-guided all-terrain exploration vehicle and sealed milk bottle technology are really amazing, and they can even be kidnapped.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Ping realized that Huo Yuhao could definitely handle the job, so he didn't seem to need to worry about it.
Although he still felt like he hadn't considered something, Chen Ping nodded and stepped forward.

A level nine Soul Master as an instructor? That's a super talent that Shrek Academy and Douluo Three Kingdoms don't even have.

Chen Ping couldn't possibly think that level nine soul masters were unimportant just because there were more than a handful of them in the Sun Moon Empire.

Each level nine Soul Master represents their pinnacle of achievement in at least one field.

Even if a leading expert in such a field doesn't teach anything truly profound, simply sharing insights into the general trends and developments in their area of ​​expertise is still incredibly valuable.

Soul guidance is essentially an applied science. Your theory may be good, but if you can't translate it into practice, it will only have theoretical significance. If you try to make a living with this stuff, you'll just starve.

Following a top expert in a field who has reached level nine means that the expert knows which research directions are dead ends and which research directions, if you put in the effort, are likely to yield results.

This is definitely a great gift for a young soul master.

Having talent in the field of soul tools can only allow one person to progress faster than others.

However, a level nine Soul Master can tell you which direction to take so you won't fall into a pit and be unable to climb out.

The research and development of soul guides is most likely to yield fruitful results by cultivating uncharted territories between established disciplines.

But whether these empty areas are truly uncultivated or are actually quicksand traps that devour people without spitting out their bones, the junior soul mentor certainly doesn't know.

Before anyone else had even finished choosing their mentors, Mo Fang nodded in satisfaction as soon as Chen Ping stepped forward, then turned and led Chen Ping into the teaching building.

Before leaving, Chen Ping continued his mental scan, and only then could he barely see some of the other people's teacher assignment results.

For example, Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen have a deep connection, and in the end, Huo Yuhao still drew the other person's name.

"Hurry up! How come you, a strong teenager, are walking slower than an old man like me?"

Just then, the old man Mo Fang strode up to the second floor and urged Chen Ping to hurry up.

Chen Ping was now truly certain that he had encountered a big shot.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, the professors at his university in his previous life, from being selected as Yangtze River Scholars to later being named National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Thousand Talents Program members, and even academicians, all had an incredibly high level of energy.

Especially the academicians, who are giants at the academician level, are said to be in their seventies or eighties. They work through several nights in a row, with an average of only four or five hours of rest per day. After getting up, they are full of energy all day long, and can work harder than young people in their twenties.

Seeing his newly assigned mentor climb the stairs as easily as hurdling in a hundred meters, Chen Ping instantly understood the true value of this old professor.

Working on projects with this guy means that as long as you're willing to work hard, you're guaranteed to suffer endlessly.

Moreover, the other party isn't treating me like a nuclear-powered donkey to be used; rather, it's highly likely that the other party has far more things to do than I do.

Chen Ping quickly followed Mo Fang's footsteps. Judging from the fact that the other party had ignored Lin Jiayi's arrangements and just picked people out, as long as he could please the old professor, the professor would most likely teach him anything he wanted to learn.

As for the things Jing Hongchen told us?

These words might not work if spoken to a level 7 or 8 Soul Master, but if spoken to a level 9 Soul Master of the same level, then it really depends on how much Jing Hongchen's old face is worth in this professor's eyes.

Soon, under the guidance of the old professor, Chen Ping climbed directly to the sixth floor, which was the top floor of the teaching building.

Chen Ping understood immediately; this was the prestige of a level nine Soul Master. If he remembered correctly, Xuan Ziwen was in the third laboratory on the fifth floor.

Soon, the other party stopped in front of the second laboratory on the sixth floor.

Chen Ping looked around. There seemed to be six laboratories on this floor. In other words, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy alone had a total of six level nine soul masters?
This number is simply outrageous.
However, this makes Fan Yu's statement in the original work that the Sun Moon Empire only has three level-nine Soul Masters a joke.

Chen Ping guessed that Fan Yu had probably swallowed a word while speaking, and that he had said there were only three level-nine soul masters instead of the thirty level-nine soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, even considering only the leaders of the five Guardian Soul Master Corps, the four Level 9 Soul Masters in Mingde Hall, the Level 9 Soul Master Elders in the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, and Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin and Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, the number of Level 9 Soul Masters already far exceeds ten. Adding to that the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult who cultivate both the Way of Evil Souls and the Way of Soul Guidance, the number of thirty Level 9 Soul Masters is a conservative estimate.

Mo Fang took out a nameplate from his pocket, waved it in front of the door, and a flash of light appeared. The laboratory door then opened to both sides.

"Enter."

Mo Fang uttered a single syllable, then led Chen Ping directly into the laboratory.

This laboratory is quite large, even larger than the small shed in Qian Duoduo's place that is actually a blacksmith's shop but is actually a laboratory.

Various soul tools and some metal materials are also displayed here.

The enormous experimental table is over thirty square meters in size. The matte silver-white metal tabletop is clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Mo Fang first returned to his seat and sat down before looking at Chen Ping: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Mo Fang, a level 88 control-type Soul Douluo."

“Yesterday, Jing Hongchen came to me and asked me to take on a student, so I agreed. I hope that as a student from Shrek Academy, you won’t be a worthless nobody.”

"In the field of soul tools, I am skilled in constructing defensive soul tools, and I have studied energy defense soul tools the most deeply."

"There is a branch of this called linked defense soul tools. In this field, I should be considered the founder."

"I'll give you a reading list later. You can fill in the gaps in your knowledge by reading the books you haven't read yet. A month later, I'll give you a test. If you get over 50 points, I'll keep you on the list."

Seeing Chen Ping, whose forehead was already damp with sweat, Mo Fang smiled kindly and comforted him, "That test paper was out of 100."

Despite Mo Fang's reassurance, Chen Ping remained completely unperturbed.

With a Soul Douluo level of 88, Mo Fang is ranked as a level 9 Soul Master, which is enough to show his extraordinary and profound attainments in the field of Soul Guidance, which can even make up for the gap brought about by Soul Power level.

The fact that he is the founder of the field of defensive soul tools, energy defensive soul tools, and linked energy defensive soul tools indicates his status as an academic leader in a certain field.

Even if the test paper was out of 100, Chen Ping felt that getting 50 points from it wouldn't be an easy task.

Moreover, the founder of the field of linked energy defense soul guide devices?
After thinking carefully about this somewhat unfamiliar soul tool technology, Chen Ping suddenly remembered what it was used for.

This is a technology that has not yet been widely deployed to the Sun Moon Soul Master Battle Groups; it is usually only used in the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Test Grounds.

The reason is simple: if any part of this defensive soul tool is damaged, it can be disassembled and repaired, which is much cheaper to maintain than traditional defensive arrays.

It wasn't until Xuan Ziwen's sealed baby bottle technology was invented that the linked defense soul tool technology was successfully brought to the battlefield.

Its extraordinary ability to protect the entire Soul Master Corps by being activated individually or by hundreds or thousands of people simultaneously is truly remarkable.

While Chen Ping was deep in thought, Mo Fang had already prepared the reading list. To Chen Ping's surprise, of the seven or eight books listed, only two were related to defensive soul tools, while the rest were related to counting rods.

"Over the years, I have attended many reports among Soul Masters in your Douluo Three Kingdoms and have also seen some students led by Level 7 or 8 Soul Masters. I have found that they all have a common problem: whatever their mentor is good at, they can learn it perfectly."

"I don't think this is good, because the former teachers of these level seven or eight soul masters, and their teachers' teachers, are still good at these things."

"These students are not making soul tools, but rather creating idols through a complex and precise process that they themselves do not understand the principles behind."

"This decision would have been a good choice a thousand years ago, or even the thousand years before that. After all, the soul tool technology in your Douluo Continent started from the most basic level one soul tool. Following the textbook was not unreasonable."

"But now four thousand years have passed since the war between the sun and the moon, and you are still at the level of knowing what happened but not why it happened, which is not good."

“Each level nine soul tool carries the designer’s unique design style and ingenuity. At the same time, the precision of many parts has exceeded the limits of your ability to replicate by hand.”

"Under these circumstances, if you still cannot optimize the structure of the soul tool to a structure that you can handle, and continue to rely on empiricism to try to reverse engineer the level nine soul tool little by little, then even if another thousand years pass, you will not produce a true level nine soul tool master."

"Mastering numerology will at least allow you to eliminate most meaningless optimization points when optimizing and creating your own soul tools by simply connecting various relationships and conditions, saving you a lot of time. This is even more important when it comes to defensive soul tools."
