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

Chapter 372 Liberating the Snow Empress (4K)

At this point, the three of them were completely open with each other, and no one kept anything from the others. They stood staring at each other for a while in the undead demiplane.

"So, what's our next plan?"

Chen Ping spoke first: "Should I try to release Xue Di now?"

"Although directly destroying a level nine spatial sealing soul tool is a bit extravagant, it seems there is no other way."

The elf nodded first, then shook his head: "Boss, wait a minute. If you release the Snow Maiden now, you'll be turned into an ice sculpture in the next second. I'll go in and talk to her first."

As it spoke, the elf transformed into a streak of light, ignoring the maze formed by the 108 gems containing spatial power on the Conferred God Platform, and directly entered the deepest part of the Conferred God Platform, forming a pale green cloud that swirled together with the white cloud in the Conferred God Platform.

"Hehe, you can leave this matter to the elf. If you hadn't brought this Snow Woman embryo, she really wouldn't have been so embarrassed to confront you right away."

"After all, just as she said, there really wasn't much more she could do to help you. Persuading the Snow Woman was one of the few things she could manage."

"The reason I was too embarrassed to tell you before was because I felt as a World Spirit being chased and beaten everywhere, and having most of my essence stolen. It was really embarrassing, hehehe."

Electrox shook the staff in his hand, watching the elf busy himself with great interest.

Chen Ping nodded, looking at the two intertwined, swirling streams of air in the Conferred God Platform: "This is enough. The taste of delicacies is certainly good, but steamed buns and pickled vegetables are also a full meal. Don't I know how to live a hard life?"

"But Elder Yi, do the elves really have such great abilities that they can trick the Snow Empress into offering a sacrifice right away?"

"Although the current Snow Empress is somewhat like a fish on a chopping board, do you really think that a few words from the elves would make such an arrogant being as the Snow Empress choose to store her soul in a soul bone and wait for us to conquer the God Realm before considering resurrecting her?"

Chen Ping's words made Electrolux chuckle: "Well, that's certainly a possibility. As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

"With the elf vouching for her, this is at least a way out for the Snow Woman who has already been captured. She won't be blown to smithereens right away."

"However, who said that the strategy we discussed was to have this Snow Maiden completely sacrifice herself to you, providing you with a soul ring and a soul bone, and that would be the end of it? What do you think I've been researching for the past six months?"

As he spoke, Electrolux waved his hand, and a book of the Sun Moon Empire's Complete Book of Soul Beasts flew into the air and appeared in front of Chen Ping. The pages of the book flipped rapidly until they stopped on the page where the Soul Beast Evil Eye was recorded.

"The Evil Eye Tyrant, a peak level nine magical beast that evolved from the eighth-tier magical beast Evil Eye Lord on the Holy Demon Continent, appeared on Douluo Star due to various coincidences and became the Evil Emperor, the second-ranked ferocious beast with a cultivation of 790,000 years. Killing him is a matter of principle, and slaughtering him is a matter of principle."

"What do you think would happen if these non-humanoid undead creatures, which are like a tide in the undead demiplane, were released to be influenced by the world power of Douluo Star?"

"With so many readily available beast-shaped undead, we can't just kill them to take the ring. It's fine for low-level undead, but doing that to intelligent high-level undead would be a waste."

"Based on my research on the awakening of martial souls in humanoid undead creatures, I've been thinking about whether it's possible to create a deeper bond between soul beasts and soul masters while preserving their intelligence—a bond that might even surpass that between corpse knights and their mounts."

At this point, Electrolux turned his gaze back to the Consecration Platform: "Now we have the answer to this question, and I call this answer the Soul Spirit."

"Simply put, it means that soul beasts, whether they are native soul beasts on Douluo Star or magical beasts that have been influenced by the rules of Douluo Star, no longer need to go through the process of being killed and producing soul rings."

"Instead, it involves a ritual similar to a sacrifice, where the spirit ring is offered while retaining its own spiritual intelligence."

“Souls born under these circumstances can not only provide soul masters with soul rings and soul skills, but can also be released to assist in combat, achieving multiple benefits at once.”

"However, if you want your soul spirit to maximize its combat power, you should at least leave the soul bone to the soul spirit, instead of absorbing it yourself."

"In this situation, as long as the soul power supply is sufficient, the soul can exert 70% of its combat power at the same level in life."

At this point, Electrolux revealed a rather proud smile: "At the same time, soul spirits can benefit from the soul master's own amplification soul skills, as well as the auxiliary soul master's support buffs."

"In other words, as long as the amplification is in place, a soul spirit of the same level can even unleash a stronger combat power than it did in life."

Chen Ping finally understood what Electrolux and the elves were really planning, and he revealed the Soul Spirit system!
Moreover, after half a year of research on martial souls and soul beast systems, Electrolux discovered that this brand-new soul spirit system is even more powerful than the soul spirit system in the original work.

As long as the soul spirit that can produce soul bones retains its own soul bone, it can even allow the soul spirit to use all the abilities it could use in its previous life with almost no restrictions, and it can also receive various buffs just like the soul master!
That's ruthless! The effect is too ruthless!
At this moment, Chen Ping felt that the soul magic he had learned from Electrolux over the past six months was really nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.

With such an extraordinary creation as the Soul Spirit, he doesn't even have a concept for its construction yet. Electrolux is just waiting for the Snow Empress to appear before he can put it into practice.

Moreover, once the research on the Snow Empress's soul spirit is successfully completed, Ilex can also turn all the undead in the Undead Demiplane into Soul Masters and Soul Spirits, so that they can possess undead characteristics and release soul skills to summon undead soul spirits to assist in battle.

Just thinking about all this made Chen Ping feel dizzy. He couldn't figure out how Electrolux had managed to figure all of this out in just six months.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. With a formidable person like Elder Yi guarding the house, Chen Ping felt increasingly at ease.

No wonder Electrolux in the original timeline had to be taken offline. If he hadn't, how would Tang Shenwang have trained his dogs?

If Huo Yuhao finds an opportunity to revive Elex and then creates a god-level lich body for Elex, the subsequent plot will most likely be the Cataclysmic War 2.0.

The car overturning the Holy Demon Continent and the car overturning the God Realm seem pretty similar.
Just as Chen Ping was lost in thought, the sprite quickly floated out again and gave Chen Ping an OK sign.

"nailed it?"

Chen Ping looked at the elf with some curiosity, and the elf nodded first, then shook its head.

"No, but at least I'm sure this guy is somewhat interested; he just wants to at least meet us first."

Chen Ping looked at the Conferred God Platform and pondered for a few seconds: "Then wait a moment, let me study this Conferred God Platform some more."

Looking at the precious level-nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, Chen Ping ultimately couldn't bear to smash it and release the Snow Empress.

The main reason he was willing to break the Royal Surveillance Team's restrictive handcuffs was because they weren't his own, and the soul tool level wasn't high, so he chose to break them directly.

But faced with the Conferred God Platform, which might come in handy someday, Chen Ping really couldn't bear to destroy it. If such a level-nine soul tool was damaged, he wouldn't have anywhere to repair it after returning to China, and he couldn't find a single soul master in the entire Shrek Academy who could repair it.

Therefore, after receiving the elf's answer, Chen Ping's first reaction was to pick up the Conferred God Platform and carefully study the more than one hundred space storage gems, each of which could be disassembled to make a high-level storage soul tool.

The vertical pupil between his brows slowly opened, and his True Sight Eye and spiritual power fell together on the Conferred God Platform. The mysteries of the Conferred God Platform were immediately revealed to Chen Ping.

After carefully examining the Conferred God Platform for a while, Chen Ping understood why the Snow Empress was trapped inside it.

Isn't this like the Huarong Road puzzle?

However, compared to the Huarong Road in the two-dimensional plane, the Fengshen Platform that Chen Ping is holding at this moment is more complex. It is a three-dimensional Huarong Road composed of 108 spatial cubes of different sizes.

In this situation, as long as the designer disrupts the arrangement of the space gems on the Fengshen Platform outside the boundary, every time Xue Di, who is at the innermost part of the 'Huarong Road', rushes out, she will either plunge into another spatial gap or crash directly into a certain spatial block.

If it were just a single spatial cube, Xue Di's strength wouldn't be insufficient to smash it. However, the key is that each spatial cube on the Conferred God Platform is of a different size, yet they interlock and are tightly connected with the other cubes.

In this situation, every time Xue Di tried to force her way in, she would be suppressed by all 108 space gems at the same time, her strength being gradually dissipated, and she would eventually be imprisoned unwillingly in the deepest part of the Conferred God Platform.

genius!

Having figured out the underlying principle, Chen Ping was stunned by this seemingly genius idea. Could this be the reincarnation of Master Gongshu Ban?

Looking at the 108 gemstones in front of him, each one potentially affecting the whole situation, Chen Ping was at a loss.

Understanding the principles and being able to unlock the Fengshen Platform are two different things. Although Electrolux had taught him a lot of spatial technology, it's like how air conditioners and range hoods are both in the furniture industry, but their technologies are basically not interchangeable.

Soon, looking at the more than one hundred gems in front of him, Chen Ping suddenly remembered the question Mo Fang had given him.

How should the densest stacked three-dimensional core array be depicted to represent the most core arrays while saving as much space as possible?

The way to unlock the gems on the Conferred God Platform right now is to rearrange them into a three-dimensional core with the densest stacked structure, isn't it?
Almost subconsciously, Chen Ping picked up the Conferred God Platform and began to push the gems of varying sizes around. Inside the core of the Conferred God Platform, the Snow Emperor felt the first glimmer of hope for escape.

She could clearly sense that the space around her was changing in response to external movements.

After a while, Xue Di's excitement and trepidation turned into drowsiness and doubt about whether Chen Ping was capable.

A full day and night had passed, and Chen Ping still hadn't managed to push the hundred-plus space gems to their designated positions.

This is normal. A typical Huarong Road puzzle has around ten pieces, and it already takes dozens or even hundreds of steps to solve.

The three-dimensional Huarong Road puzzle made up of more than a hundred gemstones in Chen Ping's hand is naturally much more difficult to solve.

"Click."

After Chen Ping pushed the last gem into its corresponding position, an exit, large enough for Xue Di to emerge from the space cube of the Conferred God Platform, finally appeared.

Chen Ping breathed a long sigh of relief.

If Mo Fang hadn't explained the creation of the densest stacked three-dimensional core array to him beforehand, he felt he definitely wouldn't have been able to solve the Conferred God Platform before him.

However, doesn't this mean that Mo Fang is actually capable of making sealing devices for the spatial domain, such as the Conferred God Platform, but has just never shown it?
Just as Chen Ping was pondering this, a wisp of white mist, like smoke, quietly slipped out through the gap in the Conferred God Platform that Chen Ping had pushed out.

In an instant, the temperature of the undead demiplane within a hundred meters radius of Chen Ping's feet suddenly dropped at an alarming rate, and the deathly land, which looked like it had been stained with ink, was now covered with a layer of frost.

"You are the human chosen by the Elf Lord?"

"Human, what methods did you use to make the esteemed elf condescend to reside in your human body?"

A cold voice, tinged with wariness and disgust, rang out in front of Chen Ping, as white mist gathered together.

Chen Ping was shocked by Xue Di's appearance.

She had a human appearance, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with long, white hair that hung down to her feet.

His sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Her slender body was flawless. Although she was wearing a long white dress without any decoration, it made her look so noble and stunning.

Even though the Snow Emperor was currently stuck in the transformation stage, her physical form was still meticulous, like a plum blossom in the winter snow, outstanding and defying the snow and frost.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping glanced at the elf with amusement. This guy, condescending to be so noble?

That statement doesn't seem to make any mistake, but it has nothing to do with him.

Wasn't it mainly because the elf failed to protect his own source power, was beaten and forced to run around, and eventually possessed him?

Seeing the elf secretly hiding behind him with her hands clasped together, begging him not to expose her and to give her some face in front of the native life of Douluo Continent, Chen Ping shrugged.

"More or less. The elf saw my potential and thought I had the potential to go in that direction, so he appointed me as his general."

"If it weren't for the Elf Lord, I might still be a vagabond on the Douluo Continent, opening treasure chests everywhere."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with opening treasure chests and picking up trash to eat, but the world of Soul Masters is much more open and expansive for me."
