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

Chapter 383 Confession of the Specific Methods of Abducting Xue Di

Chen Ping's words confused Mo Fang.

This... this works? It's that simple?
But soon, Mo Fang burst into hearty laughter: "Good, good, good! Whether it's you or the Body Sect, as long as the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo doesn't fall into the hands of Old Man Jing, I'm happy!"

Seeing Mo Fang's relieved expression, Chen Ping spoke again: "Professor Mo, I have answered all your questions, but you still haven't told me why Jing Hongchen was so determined to hunt you down."

"Could it be that the underground coordinates of Mingde Hall were really sold to the Body Sect by you? And that this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo was a scheme orchestrated by you, the Star Luo Empire, and the Body Sect from the very beginning?"

"Bullshit!" Mo Fang cursed upon hearing Chen Ping's words. "Do you really think I'm such a despicable person?"

Mo Fang took the Conferred God Platform from Chen Ping's hands and examined it carefully, saying, "His Mingde Hall is riddled with holes, how can you blame me for that?"

"This is a long story, and I will tell you slowly, but I have never betrayed any information about Mingde Hall."

As he spoke, Mo Fang dusted off his clothes, a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "The whole story begins when I was young."

"Jing Hongchen and I are basically from the same era, and we both showed great skill in soul tools when we were young."

"Unfortunately, our research directions have always overlapped significantly, and in terms of both output and speed of progress, I am slightly better than Jing Hongchen. I can barely say that I have more wins than losses."

"Unfortunately, in the later struggle for the position of head of Mingde Hall, the number of people who supported me was far less than the number of people who supported Jing Hongchen."

“Jing Hongchen has transformed into the head of Mingde Hall, while I have become the most awkward level nine soul master in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.”

"Perhaps because I lost more than I won in the past, any experimental project I submitted afterward not only faced difficulties in getting approved, but also in obtaining funding, which was much more difficult than before."

"Even if the funding is eventually approved, it will be very stingy, and I will basically have to put my own money into the project to continue the research."

"For all these reasons, I have become estranged from many of my colleagues who supported me."

"My students have all switched to other schools because they are worried about not being able to graduate, which is why I have only had you as my student all these years."

"If that were all, it would be fine. The winner takes all, and I understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain'."

"But the key point is that even if I pay for the research myself, Jing Hongchen will still stop me."

"Do you know why he stopped me? It's because the soul tools produced by Mingde Hall should obey the empire's overall strategy and should not be allowed to flow into the Douluo Three Kingdoms at will."

At this point, Mo Fang's face turned somewhat pale, and his large, aged hands trembled slightly.

"Isn't my research for the sake of the empire?"

"If it weren't for Jing Hongchen deliberately cutting off my research funding, would I have gone to such lengths to raise money myself to continue my research?"

Mo Fang's voice was already a little hoarse as he spoke, and he gripped the Conferred God Platform tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white.

"In order to continue to raise money for research, I can only frequently attend the Soul Master Exchange Conference of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, and take the opportunity to secretly sell some of the Soul Tools I made."

"And that absolute defense that you destroyed in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was made by me."

"Even so, these research funds are only enough to support some of my small and medium-sized projects at most."

"As for the linked defense soul tool that I consider to be my greatest achievement in this life, the research and development funds required are in the tens of millions." "It took me a full ten years to scrape together this money before I finally created a linked defense soul tool that could be deployed on the battlefield."

"However, when my final work was sent to the Royal Hall of Fame, the only comment I received was that it was quite interesting."

"To comfort me, Jing Hongchen installed the linked defensive soul tool in the academy's soul tool trial field."

"I thought he had let go of his prejudice against me, but only today did I realize that he was just waiting for me to die so that he could rightfully turn my achievements into Mingdetang's output!"

At this point, Mo Fang was already panting uncontrollably, his left hand clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand looking like they were about to burst.

Chen Ping saw bloodshot veins in the old man's cloudy eyes, the look of a cornered beast driven to the brink of despair.

"In order not to let my research results be tarnished, I secretly made up my mind that even if I had to save up money again, I would send the linked defense soul tool to the military and equip each soul master regiment with it for free, so that the superiority of the linked soul tool could be proven in actual combat."

"For this reason, I specially made the ninth-level soul tool, the God Sealing Platform. I originally planned to go to the far north to catch more of the Ice Spirits, which are extremely special soul beasts that can be seen but not touched."

“This kind of soul beast is similar to the souls you just purified, Chen Ping. It is difficult to touch by ordinary means, let alone capture it alive.”

“Any Ice Spirit, even one that is ten years old, would cost several thousand gold soul coins.”

"Placing it in the home not only provides a strong cooling effect, but more importantly, it can showcase one's status."

"And if an Ice Spirit with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years can be sold to an Ice-attribute Soul Master, it can earn enough gold soul coins to buy a level seven Soul Tool."

"But even I didn't expect that I would go deep into the core area of ​​the far north and still not find a single ice spirit."

"On the contrary, I managed to capture one of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts that is currently transforming into humans and has already transformed into a state similar to an ice spirit."

At this point, Mo Fang couldn't help but grin.

Even after going through so much, just thinking about finding a 100,000-year-old soul beast still made Mo Fang smile broadly.

Mo Fang's smile quickly vanished, for he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Chen Ping, an aura so terrifying it felt as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast.

However, this aura came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in no time, leading Mo Fang to believe it was just an illusion.

Mo Fang was unaware that the Snow Emperor was already causing chaos in Chen Ping's mental sea.

Snow Emperor never expected that after finally encountering a snow lotus with 100,000 years of cultivation, which she used to seal herself, and finally getting a chance to be reborn as a human, she would end up being captured by a human for such a ridiculous reason!

"Chen Ping, don't stop me. Give me some soul power, and I'll go out, kill him, and come back."

"As long as you let me kill him, I will personally teach you the Three Absolute Techniques of the Snow Emperor. Even without soul skills, you will be able to perform these three moves."

Xue Di's cold voice carried barely suppressed anger.

Obviously, whoever it is, after cultivating for 700,000 years, only to be captured alive for such a ridiculous reason, would probably not be able to suppress their anger.

If Mo Fang hadn't been a level nine Soul Master whom he had painstakingly persuaded, and if the compatibility between the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Skills and himself wasn't very high, Chen Ping would have been tempted to let the Snow Empress go out and kill people.
