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

Chapter 422 The Treasure-Giving Boy, Keke
It was a huge sphere, about two meters in diameter, with a metallic silver-gray color throughout.

Although the device looked extremely large, Chen Ping knew with just a quick scan using his mental power that it was actually very light.

After all, according to his detection results, the seemingly enormous sphere in front of him was actually completely hollow inside, with only a few hollow steel pipes welded inside to support the entire sphere.

The bottom of this huge sphere consists of two parts. One part is the four gas propulsion devices that are constantly spraying gas downwards, propelling this hollow sphere. The buzzing and hissing sounds that Chen Ping heard earlier came from this part.

The other part is a piece of clear, white, special synthetic crystal. Chen Ping had seen this thing before in the school magazine of Mingde Hall. It was the masterpiece of Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, a ninth-level soul master of the Sun Moon Empire and a court servant. This kind of special crystal was on the ninth-level soul tool, the Sun God Needle.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, this thing should belong to the secret of the Sun Moon Empire, and is called the Anti-Gravity Module Crystal.

This incredible technology was completely unknown to everyone at Shrek Academy, including Chen Ping.

The anti-gravity module has four metal sails and contains different anti-gravity core arrays, allowing it to maintain a horizontal levitation state.

When it flies upwards using the anti-gravity module and four gas propulsion devices, these sails are retracted and will only unfold after reaching the designated position to assist in levitation.

Moreover, it can adjust its flight angle and position to a certain extent and cope with various severe weather conditions.

If attacked, it can also contact the Sun Moon Empire's army immediately to issue a warning.

It then released a level seven soul-guided shield to protect itself and contracted it at top speed, fleeing at breakneck speed.

Chen Ping was shocked when he first saw the introduction of this level-nine soul tool in the school magazine of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. This thing not only has powerful attack power and is difficult to defend against, but it also has an anti-pickpocketing system!

But what exactly is this round, bouncy ball in front of us? What makes it so qualified to carry an anti-gravity crystal like the Sun Needle, a level nine soul tool?
Chen Ping subconsciously peeked out and looked down at the large sphere. At this moment, the sphere was still about three or four hundred meters away from him, and at the bottom of the valley, many people were whispering among themselves.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, the Battalion Commander has already ordered the soldiers from other battalions to guard the various mountain passes. Shouldn't our camp search the surrounding area as well?"

In the camp below the valley floor, a soldier wearing leather armor looked at the girl beside him and asked a question.

The girl waved her hand impatiently and said, "Since the battalion commander said that the escaped convict ran away to another place and even sent a message for us to continue the experiment, why should we go and cause more trouble?"

"The most important thing is to honestly record the results of these exploration experiments so that we can report back to the battalion commander when he returns. You talkative fellow."

The girl, referred to as the deputy battalion commander, had a somewhat shrill voice and a rather petite figure. However, her eyes were fierce at this moment, giving off a somewhat menacing vibe. Well, even a tigress is still a tiger.

At this moment, there was still mist in the mountains, obscuring Chen Ping's vision. The vertical height from the mountaintop to the valley exceeded a thousand meters, and Chen Ping's mental power could not reach it. Otherwise, he would have recognized the girl immediately. Who else could this girl be but Ke Ke, who was directly killed by Jing Hongchen with a wave of his hand?

At this moment, Keke held a thick stack of data sheets in her hand, on which a lot of dense data was recorded. While staring at a soul-guided display, she said, "While the clouds above our valley haven't cleared yet, let's quickly raise the detector and test how well the optical sensing equipment responds to the view below the clouds."

Keke raised her head and looked at the high-altitude detection soul guide that was slowly flying upwards into the clouds. A hint of fatigue flashed in her eyes.

Although her expulsion from the academy was essentially due to Ju Zi's suggestion, girls help girls, so how could she possibly blame Ju Zi for the mistake? It must all be that jerk Chen Ping's fault.

Furthermore, her position as deputy battalion commander was only promoted to this position because Ju Zi needed a reliable confidant to command, which is why she was promoted so quickly.

So even though the tasks that Ju Zi arranged for her were more and more troublesome than the last, Ke Ke still insisted on carrying them out step by step.

"Hurry up and finish this data test so I can go back to sleep."

Keke rubbed the dark circles under her eyes and cursed inwardly.

If it weren't for that Chen Ping from Shrek Academy, she would probably still be doing experiments under Teacher Xuan's guidance this year, just casually taking it easy.

Why would she need to do something like this, where her daily task is to test the effects of various soul tools after they have been converted for military use in complex environments? No matter what is being tested, she has to personally supervise it to feel at ease, lest she lose the deputy battalion commander position she worked so hard to obtain. She doesn't have Prince Xu Tianran to back her up.

Thinking of this, Keke's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

Slogans are just slogans; only the person in the heart knows what they really think.

Because of her best friend's encouragement, Keke lost the opportunity to graduate from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which was a huge blow to her.

Although she has been promoted to deputy battalion commander because of her hard work, in Keke's eyes this is just the status she will inevitably get after graduating and choosing to join the army.

Just as Keke was pondering whether continuing to follow Ju Zi would allow her to earn more compensation for her youth, the images reflected back from the soul-guided monitor made her vaguely sense that something was amiss.

Although the monitor was still displaying the image of the high-altitude detection soul guide device detecting the area below, for some reason, two rather unsightly large black borders appeared in the transmitted image that Keke saw.

No, those aren't just big black borders, they're clearly the two door frames of a giant skeletal gate! It seems their flying soul tool accidentally flew into that skeletal gate!

"Don't let the probe rise any higher, bring it down!"

Just as Keke realized the seriousness of the situation and cried out, the huge skeletal door on the monitor contracted like a scroll, and the two door frames collided and disappeared without a trace. The image displayed on the monitor also completely broke at that moment.
