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

Chapter 405: Older Single Women?

As a beautiful sunset rose in the western sky, the three of them finally arrived near their destination.

Looking out from high above, Chen Ping realized that he couldn't completely trust what Ju Zi said in the original story. This thing didn't look like a spider at all; it was just a giant octopus crawling on the ground.

Regardless of whether the Jingyang Mountains resemble a spider or an octopus, one thing is certain: the mountains before us can only be described as majestic.

Although both are habitats of spirit beasts, the feeling Chen Ping experienced here was completely different from that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Starry Sky Forest is deep and boundless, but it also has a wild and fierce atmosphere.

Perhaps the resources here are far less than those of the Starry Sky Forest, but they are far more aggressive.

"Let's rest nearby tonight. We'll go into the mountains again tomorrow and try our luck finding a suitable soul beast for you," Chen Ping said.

The three landed a hundred miles away from the Jingyang Mountains and set up camp in a high and flat place.

With the existence of storage soul tools, soul masters can carry quite a lot of things. Three people and three tents were quickly set up under Chen Ping's busy work.

Wu Feng looked at Chen Ping, who was diligently helping them set up their tent, and said with a smile, "How come you're so skilled at setting up a tent? You've worked hard this time. We'll go find some firewood for you later."

Chen Ping chuckled and said, "That's great, I can use both of you at once. Remember to gather plenty of firewood."

"Let me see if there are any suitable ingredients here. The fresher the food, the better it will be when cooked."

Chen Ping's gaze swept into the distance, he slowly turned around, and his spiritual power swept out. Soon, as if he had found something, his figure flashed out instantly and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Ning Tian stared blankly in the direction Chen Ping had disappeared. Although Chen Ping had only risen a few ranks on paper in the past year, she somehow felt that his improvement was much greater than she had imagined.

Before Ning Tian could say anything, Wu Feng chuckled and teased, "I think you're in trouble, young master. This guy has clearly gotten a bit more insightful in the year we haven't seen him."

"This guy has both cultivation and strength, he seems to really meet your standards, young master, otherwise you wouldn't have invited him back to our sect."

Ning Tian lightly spat, her pretty face slightly flushed, "You little brat, trying to absolve yourself again, aren't you? Talking like Chen Ping didn't help you set up the tent earlier. What are you doing, trying to run away now? Don't even think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng blushed deeply: "He wouldn't run away, but Chen Ping is too strong. He's clearly different from the gentle and refined young men in our sect."

"I could take down several of those guys by myself, but they kept getting humiliated by Chen Ping. If he bullies you in the future, I'm worried I won't be able to protect you, hehe."

Ning Tian said irritably, "You still have the nerve to say these things? The year your martial soul awakened, when the sect was selecting a new generation of protectors, who was it that ignited the Dragon Flame and drove away more than a dozen sect disciples of the same age?"

"Now look what's happened. All the sect disciples who have their eyes on me are scared like quails by this person. The boy that the sect assigned to him was afraid of being abused at home, so he ran away too."

"After all this trouble, we two young women ended up spending six years together. Now that we finally have someone who can keep you in check, you're still causing trouble."

"Ah, stop talking! Stop talking!"

Ning Tian brought up the outrageous things Wu Feng had done as a child, and white smoke immediately billowed from Wu Feng's forehead, making his face look like a monkey's bottom that had been burned red.

The "someone" Ning Tian mentioned was naturally Wu Feng, who had just awakened his martial soul not long ago. At that time, Wu Feng was known as the troublemaker of the sect and loved to follow Ning Tian around.

Upon hearing that after the sect's protector selection was over, she would be cultivating with those spineless, good-for-nothing boys in the sect, and Ning Tian wouldn't have time to play with her anymore, she couldn't stand it and immediately staged a scene at Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School. And so, these two girls became some of the few unlucky girls in the entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School without protector partners, forced to live together in a makeshift way. As soon as they reached the required age, they were immediately released from the sect and enrolled at Shrek Academy.

Whether they can figure out the cultivation method of the Red Dragon Martial Soul is secondary; the main problem is that these two girls really can't find a partner within the sect.

Although the two girls were only eleven or twelve years old at the time, they were already considered old maids in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Just as they finished talking and were gathering some firewood nearby, Chen Ping returned.

He seemed to be carrying something in his right hand, but it was too dark to see clearly, and then he busied himself with something.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng didn't even see what kind of wild beast Chen Ping had caught. When they looked closely, all they could see were strips of meat.

Each strip of meat was cut very evenly, about the length of a palm and the width of two fingers, with a moderate thickness.

"Wu Feng, come on."

Chen Ping set up the campfire and immediately called out to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was originally quite familiar with these things, but because of what Ning Tian had just said, he suddenly became distracted and almost set all the ingredients on fire while setting the fire.

Seeing this, Chen Ping slightly extended his palm and pushed, and a wisp of cold air surged from Chen Ping's palm. In just a few breaths, he actually extinguished the flames that Wu Feng had set off everywhere.

"What's going on? Are they trying to pay homage to Senior Xiaotao's rampaging state of evil fire?"

Chen Ping chuckled and teased Wu Feng.

"What's wrong with your cold aura?"

Wu Feng's eyes widened; she didn't remember that Chen Ping's martial soul had an inherent ice attribute.

Chen Ping smiled. This was naturally the effect of absorbing the Snow Emperor's soul spirit, and it was also the reason why he had the confidence to bring the two of them to Jingyang Mountain Range to hunt for souls.

Even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, whose combat power can only be described as adding fuel to the fire, was used as a super-sized beverage packet by the ferocious beasts of Star Dou Forest for more than 10,000 years. The little bit of power left was sealed to Huo Yuhao, and it could still unleash a Heavenly Dream Finger to easily freeze Ma Xiaotao.

The Snow Empress, who did not experience self-destruction and was completely absorbed by Chen Ping in this timeline, would not have left Chen Ping with a killing move for safety reasons.

She was also afraid that she had finally chosen a human to bet on, only for Chen Ping to accidentally die.

I'll tell you later, let's eat first.

As he spoke, Chen Ping took out three small bowls, added something to each bowl, and mixed it into a thick, semi-transparent brown sauce. He then took a fork and handed it to the two women.

"You can just eat the grilled meat with the sauce."

As he spoke, Chen Ping gently lifted a strip of meat from the peeled tree branch beside him with his fork.
