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

Chapter 419 Every bite and sip is preordained; enemies are destined to meet.
Chen Ping stood there for a long time before he recovered from Ning Tian's sudden sneak attack.

Just as he was about to follow the wolves to their den where they had rested, Chen Ping heard whispers coming from down the mountain.

"Battalion Commander, I, I, I saw, I saw people! There are people fighting, fighting, fighting above our camp!"

Just as Chen Ping was about to turn and leave, a soldier wearing the standard leather armor of the Sun Moon Empire, carrying a level four flying soul tool and a soul ray gun on his back, slowly flew up from below the cliff. He pointed at Chen Ping and stammered a lot.

Chen Ping looked the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master up and down. Apart from the leather armor he was wearing, the soldier who spoke with a slight stutter seemed to be well-fed and had gained some weight.

Right next to the other person's chubby face was a magnetic microphone pressed against his face, transmitting the information he had just received in great detail.

The opponent's equipment wasn't the best, but it was quite complete. It even included shin guards and ankle guards to protect the thighs and calves. In the Star Luo Empire's military camp, this kind of equipment would be reserved for at least a lieutenant.

Upon seeing the Soul Master before him and the camp the other mentioned, a bad feeling suddenly flashed through Chen Ping's mind.

He seemed to remember that in the original novel, Ju Zi mentioned that the Sun Moon Empire had a legion stationed near the Jingyang Mountains.

Soon, Chen Ping's ominous premonition came true. As the soldier in front of him, who was speaking with a slight stutter, finished speaking, at least a dozen fourth-ring soul masters controlling flying soul tools flew up from the bottom of the mountain range through layers of dense forest. Among them, the leader was a woman.

The woman had long black hair, looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and had a pair of bright, mischievous eyes.

The other person's skin may have originally been quite fair, but it has become a bit darker due to the tempering of her military career. However, given the natural beauty of her skin, just looking at her skin without a single visible pore, one can tell that she is a very eye-catching beauty.

Just as Chen Ping was sizing up these people, the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master soldiers who had just flown up turned to look at the woman and spoke.

"Battalion, battalion commander, it's him, he's fighting on our garrison grounds."

"Alright, alright, I know, I don't like listening to you."

The woman, referred to as the battalion commander, waved her hand impatiently and landed in front of Chen Ping.

"Hello, I am the battalion commander of the Second Battalion stationed at the main ridge of the Jingyang Mountains by the Sun Moon Empire."

"Although I don't know what you were doing that caused such a commotion, you have entered the vicinity of our camp."

"Considering you're still young and probably in school, I won't say much more. Just leave here quickly, and when you enter a gathering place for spirit beasts in the future, pay close attention to the signs nearby."

As she spoke, the woman raised her hand and pointed to an inconspicuous little sign in the distance, which read: "Military camp location. Do not approach. Violators will be held responsible."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping felt somewhat helpless. He and Ning Tian hadn't noticed the small print on the sign during their journey, and then they were surrounded by the Silver Moon Wolf King and his pack, so they naturally paid even less attention to the sign.

Despite his displeasure, the young female battalion commander neither uttered any harsh words nor directly tried to drive him away, so Chen Ping simply nodded, not intending to continue the argument. At this moment, at the bottom of the main branch where Chen Ping was, many Soul Master soldiers, their soul power aura at the Soul Venerable level and wielding Level 3 flying soul tools, also flew up, their numbers probably numbering thirty to fifty.

"Are you a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? It's fate that we meet. Let's get acquainted. What's your name?"

Just then, the female battalion commander, perhaps sensing the remarkable soul power emanating from Chen Ping, stepped forward and extended her hand towards him.

At this age of sixteen or seventeen, Chen Ping's cultivation speed of over forty levels might be a bit slower than that of the top few in Shrek Academy, but for the Sun Moon Army, he was definitely a promising talent.

Those who can participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, even those who are eliminated in the first round, are actually among the best of the younger generation in the entire Douluo Continent.

In addition, with the strange-looking soul-guided exoskeleton that Chen Ping was wearing, the female battalion commander in front of her could guess Chen Ping's identity as a soul guide even though she couldn't quite see what it was for.

This is why the female battalion commander in front of us didn't say anything harsh when she saw Chen Ping mistakenly wander into the vicinity of the military camp, but instead showed goodwill.

The female battalion commander's leather armor was very form-fitting and of superior quality. It was entirely crimson red and clearly custom-made.

The opponent's leather armor had some ring-like parts, as well as some slots. These were clearly for combining with different soul tools.

Chen Ping shook hands lightly with the other party before saying, "Sir, you are too kind. My surname is Chen. Although I am a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I am not a citizen of your country."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping could feel the female battalion commander in front of him pause slightly while holding his soft hand before letting go.

"Hmm, that's quite a coincidence. You might not know, but I used to be a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. So, you were probably an exchange student at Shrek Academy? I wonder how many of the exchange students at Shrek Academy have the surname Chen?"

As the female battalion commander spoke, she slowly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, she was protected by layers of soldiers.

"Of course, it's just me."

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, he saw the female battalion commander retreat behind the group. Combined with her slightly strange reaction when they shook hands, Chen Ping immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Chen Ping, Chen Ping, you've really chosen the path to hell when there's one. I was just arranging for a few classmates to tease the freshmen in your college, and you had to interfere and cause chaos throughout the entire college?"

"It's all thanks to you. I originally planned to study at the academy for two more years, but because of the commotion you caused, I had to escape from the academy early, which saved me a lot of wasted time. In less than a year, I made many outstanding contributions and became the battalion commander of the second battalion of this Soul Master Corps."

"Since you can't take a joke and make such a big deal out of the smallest things, I'll show you today just how much I can't take a joke! Keke has told me off about you countless times!"
