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

Chapter 371 The Mystery of the System, Reversing the Future!

Within a day and a night, news of the surprise attack and heavy losses suffered by Mingdetang had spread throughout the mainland.

Even if Mingdetang has been trying its best to suppress the news, how could such a big thing be kept secret?
For a moment, the continent shook.

The entire Three Kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent applauded with joy.

Although they did not know the extent of the damage to Mingde Hall, for them, the fact that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered losses was a great thing.

It is said that the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was so enraged upon learning of this that he fainted on the spot, and his already poor health worsened.

If it weren't for Crown Prince Xu Tianran speaking up for Jing Hongchen, he, as the hall master, would probably have been stripped of his dragon pillar.

Even so, Jing Hongchen still suffered a lot of setbacks, such as losing his duke title.

Jing Hongchen, who was originally only one step away from the hereditary title of Duke, which was as prestigious as the state, now has to climb up again from scratch, and it's hard to say how long that climb will take.

However, these tremors on the mainland had nothing to do with Chen Ping. He first returned to his dormitory, and then went straight into the undead demiplane.

Watching Snake command the other undead creatures, digging a large pit in the undead demiplane and burying sixteen level-nine fixed-mount artillery shells in it like incubating eggs, Chen Ping scratched his head.

Well, that works too. At least this way, we don't have to worry about other undead creatures accidentally blowing this thing up while they're fighting.

Chen Ping lovingly touched all sixteen level-nine fixed-load shells on the shelf before reluctantly withdrawing his hand.

He definitely won't hand this over to the academy, at least not until he has the absolute authority to speak for himself at Shrek Academy.

Sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells—this is something that could change the landscape of the Douluo Continent. To put it bluntly, it could buy the lives of many Super Douluo.

These shells are likely the most powerful single-use force Chen Ping has ever been able to control. Under such circumstances, unless Tang really performs a deus ex machina for him, he at least has the ability to drag the enemy's lackeys to hell.

Although these words may not sound very inspiring, Chen Ping was already proud of himself for achieving this, given that his opponent had become a God-King ten thousand years earlier than him.

After receiving the Conferred God Platform from Snake, Chen Ping looked at the Snow Emperor embryo trapped in a small space by one hundred and eight top-grade storage gems and felt a chill run down his spine.

What kind of powerful spatial stacking skills are needed to create such an abnormal soul tool?
Looking at Xue Di, who was now bound and disoriented by layers of spatial power, and who was always lost when she tried to break free, Chen Ping clicked his tongue slightly, and two questions arose in his mind.

How can we release Xue Di from this place without damaging the Consecration Platform?
What if he releases Xue Di and Xue Di immediately comes after him to kill him?
Before Chen Ping could think further, Electrolux, holding a staff, had already appeared beside him.

Over the past six months, Electrolux has become increasingly engrossed in his research on wondrous entities such as martial spirits and spirit rings.

Judging from the other person's tone, it seems they have already figured out a lot of amazing things.

But whenever Chen Ping tried to delve deeper into Electrolux's research, Electrolux would simply wave his hand, telling Chen Ping to be patient, as his most interesting experiment was nearing completion.

That's why, seeing Electrolux's obviously cheerful face, Chen Ping's heart stirred slightly.

Is it possible that Mr. Yi's last experiment is showing promise?
Before Chen Ping could even open his mouth to inquire with Electrolux, golden light spots rapidly gathered beside Electrolux, slowly condensing into a shape within the undead demiplane—the very form of the long-unseen system spirit.

Electrolux turned his head and nodded to the system sprite, clearly indicating that he could see its presence.

Chen Ping suddenly realized, "You were just fooling me before, weren't you? I knew you two could see each other. You're not going to pretend this time, are you?"
"Boss, it's been a long time!"

The elf hopped and skipped over to Chen Ping, trying to get away with being cute, but Chen Ping ruthlessly interrupted her.

"Come on, I've felt something's off about your system from the very beginning. What kind of system in the world can be seen by someone other than the host?"

"Also, in the past few years, you would get new wounds as soon as old ones healed, and you would fall into a deep sleep from time to time. Today, you had better explain to me exactly what kind of thing you are."

Looking at the little gadget bouncing around in front of him, Chen Ping asked the question that had been on his mind.

The elf hesitated for a moment, then looked at Electrox, and only spoke after Electrox nodded encouragingly.

"In fact, I am the world consciousness of this world, or the spirit of the world."

"To be precise, it was around ten thousand years ago that the World Spirits, possessing advanced intelligence, were born in order to save themselves because the previous Ascended Ones continuously stole the origin of the world after their ascension."

"Possessing the power to actively determine the direction of the world's 'fate'."

The elf spoke in a very serious tone, a stark contrast to the other party's usual carefree manner.

However, the elf quickly lost her composure, because she discovered that her words had not frightened Chen Ping at all, as if Chen Ping had already guessed this.

"Hmm, that's pretty much what I guessed. Now, tell me something I don't know."

Chen Ping nodded, looking at the elf as if he were interrogating a criminal, which made the elf appear quite disheartened.

How did you guess that?

The elf was greatly shocked, never expecting that Chen Ping had already guessed her background.

Chen Ping simply shrugged. He was a guy who was completely different from the traditional system in every way, someone who would be seen by others, and who would even get new scars on his face from time to time.

If it's not mentioned at all in the original work, yet it's definitely a product of the local world, and considering the various abilities that elves can provide, it would be strange if Chen Ping couldn't guess what this thing really is.

Seemingly because they hadn't managed to scare Chen Ping enough to make him bow down in excitement, the elf thought for a moment and then called on the leader again.

"Boss, if I tell you later that all the abilities I can offer you are the same as what you've enjoyed before, you won't look down on me, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping abruptly tilted his head: "You mean those deduction functions that I have to spend academic points to use, are also considered abilities provided to me?"

Upon hearing this, the elf's expression immediately turned embarrassed, and he said, "Before your soul came to this world, I had already distributed the destinies I could." "Destiny can be understood as luck or fortune in common parlance."

"In short, by that time, I had basically lost the ability to change this world, leaving me only with the ability to prevent the previous generation of ascendants from spying on me a few times."

"So from the very beginning, you were just a casual pawn I left behind, a backup plan that might be useful if the chosen one of destiny failed to deliver."

"At that time, besides a little bit of bad luck that I could still pass on, I basically had nothing else to give you, so I just dumped the bad luck on you. At least fortune and misfortune are intertwined, right?"

Seeing Chen Ping's slightly pale face, the elf quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, "It's gone. From the moment you came into this world, boss, all that bad luck has basically disappeared after several concentrated outbreaks."

"Besides, boss, the fact that you made so much money this time already means your luck has turned around, right?"

Chen Ping merely snorted in response, unconvinced by the elf's explanation.

After all, he's not like Huo Gu, who can always find a test subject to bring back when he encounters trouble; that's real luck.

The reason he was able to obtain the Snow Emperor embryo and those fixed shells was the result of his planning three months in advance, not some stroke of good luck.

The elf continued, "Since I didn't have much fate left to allocate at that time, the only choice I could make was to inject a considerable amount of fate power into your martial soul, Boss."

"Although it cannot be upgraded to the peak in one go, it at least gives the martial soul the ability to devour and evolve, and can also be used for multiple purposes. This is a unique ability in the entire Douluo Continent."

"As for the system, it is an auxiliary tool that I created based on the strongest obsession you had after coming to this world."

"As long as you study hard and think deeply, you can absorb the extremely rare power of destiny that is scattered between heaven and earth and convert it into points due to the constant fluctuations in your mental strength."

"This power can accomplish almost anything. As long as you pay enough, it's not impossible to make a 100,000-year-old soul beast appear out of thin air in front of you. Deducing prescriptions and finding the location of soul beasts are naturally even easier."

"The main reason I'm hoping you'll spend more points is because I can take 70% of the points you spend."

"Although that bit of power of destiny is not much, it is enough for me to recover my strength and resist the erosion of the previous ascendants."

"How much? Seventy percent?"

Chen Ping listened to the elf recounting one secret after another about the world's past, but he didn't react much.

He finally broke down when he heard that the elf was taking away 70% of the points he had worked so hard to earn each time.

No, you won't even split it 50/50? You're going to take 70% of the profits?
Seeing Chen Ping's murderous gaze, the elf shrank back behind Electrolux in fear: "Fifty-fifty, can't we split it 50/50 from now on?"

"After all, I can help you, boss, protect yourself from the prying eyes of the ascendants. We should at least make up for it, right?"

Seeing that Chen Ping was still angry, the elf quickly revealed the last card she had prepared to play when confronting Chen Ping.

"Boss, I have a way to prevent that Ice and Snow Maiden from self-destructing after she comes out. Really, trust me."

"Although I saw my fate, or rather the fate of the entire Douluo Star, in your sea of ​​memories long ago, I felt that it could only be a chance given to us and the entire Douluo Star by destiny."

"That Douluo Star, which Tang San treated like his own backyard, is just a warning, a warning that allows us to reverse the future."

"Boss, you've come this far, and the entire development of this world has been completely changed, which means that everything in the future is uncertain."

“I don’t think that the World Spirit who was completely devoured is me, and Electrox doesn’t think that the Joker who died completely and has no chance of being resurrected is him.”

"A fence needs three posts, and a hero needs three helpers."

"Me, Electrox, and Yuki-onna make three. Let's bet everything. Can we gamble with you, boss, for a chance to turn the future around?"

Bet everything, reverse the future!

After hearing all this, Chen Ping's heart pounded, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Do I even have a choice?"

"From the moment Elder Yi and I stopped Wang Qiu'er, whom Tang San had handcrafted, I was completely on the pirate ship to fight Tang San to the end."

"If you jump ship now and lose your ability to stop Tang San from spying, I'll most likely be the one who gets killed first, right?"

As he spoke, Chen Ping stretched out his hand: "So be it. Being able to live a second life is already a great fortune. With you guys who are both teachers and friends, plus the advantage of being prescient, even if we fight Tang San to the end, I don't think we will necessarily lose."

"Besides, I don't have the habit of being someone's dog, let alone an old dog."

Upon hearing that Chen Ping had fully accepted everything, the elf jumped for joy and excitedly placed her illusory little hand on Chen Ping's outstretched hand.

"To fight against Heaven, to fight against the gods?"

Old Yi, who had been silent until now, revealed an excited smile: "The elf is right. I don't think I'll die so hastily and so thoroughly."

"This is much more interesting than beating up the Pope, I'm in too."

As he spoke, Old Yi's illusory palms also came up, and with a forceful swing of the three palms, they swung down heavily.

From this day forward, a Soul Master, a remnant soul, and a wisp of world consciousness.

An unbreakable anti-'heaven' alliance has been officially established!

　Hmm, I've been stuck for a long time. I don't know how everyone will feel about this chapter. I'm a little nervous.
