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

Chapter 435 The Functions of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians

Seeing Chen Ping's gaze fall on the white bead, Ning Junping's explanation reached Chen Ping's ears at just the right moment.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Junping saw a vertical pupil suddenly appear between Chen Ping's eyebrows, and it was staring wide-eyed at the white bead.

Although Ning Junping was surprised, he knew that everyone had their own secrets, so he just watched quietly as Chen Ping observed the pillar with his vertical pupils without saying a word to disturb him.

[A weakened divine-given spirit ring: A divine-given spirit ring that has weakened due to being away from the Sea God Pillar for too long and lacking the power to nourish it. Using it near the Sea God Pillar may produce unexpected changes. A complete analysis of its composition requires 2000000 academic points.]

That's why Chen Ping didn't have anything in his mouth, otherwise he would have spat it all out in one gulp.

A divinely bestowed spirit ring! Moreover, it's a divinely bestowed spirit ring whose composition can be completely analyzed!

Although two million academic points were an astronomical figure that Chen Ping couldn't possibly come up with at this moment, he had Old Yi as an external brain, didn't he?

Once he obtains this divinely bestowed soul ring, he can wait for Elder Yi to use his divine sense, a versatile detector, to figure out most of the mysteries involved in the synthesis and manufacture of this divinely bestowed soul ring. If there are still parts he can't figure out, he can spend some points to have the system use the power of destiny to deduce them.

Well, the plan worked.

Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction, but he was also curious about how this soul ring had ended up in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Just then, Ning Junping seemed to notice Chen Ping's confusion and said, "This divinely bestowed soul ring was originally a companion of Ning Rongrong, the daughter of one of the sect leaders of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School ten thousand years ago. It was an extra divinely bestowed soul ring that Xiao Wu, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, had after completing the Sea God's Trial."

Sect Leader's Daughter
Chen Ping's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this title. Judging from this title, Ning Rongrong must have ascended to immortality quite early, and had never even served as the sect leader for a single day.

Could the Shrek Seven Devils' hasty ascension be the reason why Ma Hongjun ascended while Bai Chenxiang remained in the mortal realm?

Chen Ping listened silently, noting down everything Ning Junping said, and comparing and verifying this information with his memories of the original work.

"The so-called divinely bestowed soul ring refers to a kind of reward left by various gods on the Douluo Continent. The divinely bestowed soul ring in front of you is a reward that is only produced in the Sea God's Trial of Black Level and above."

"Anyone who has undergone a Black-level or higher assessment will have the opportunity to obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring upon reaching their first bottleneck."

"There's no need to hunt spirit beasts. The divine spirit rings will grant them the spirit skills they need most and the highest level spirit rings they can withstand. Everyone only has one chance."

"Of course, after Tang San, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, was the first to achieve the position of Sea God, the other Shrek Seven Devils who followed him in the test also received an extra God-given Soul Ring. As Tang San's partner, Xiao Wu, although she only undertook the top-level test, ultimately received a total of three God-given Soul Rings as a reward."

"As a student of Shrek Academy, I guess you should know something about Xiao Wu being a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form."

"So when Tang San successfully resurrected her and returned the 100,000-year soul ring, Xiao Wu's cultivation level had already reached over 70, and she could only absorb two divinely bestowed soul rings at most."

"That's why this divinely bestowed soul ring was left over. Tang San took it and gave it to his only disciple on the Douluo Continent, Ji Xiang, who was once just a mortal and had no innate soul power whatsoever."

Ning Junping's words seemed to awaken long-dormant memories in Chen Ping's heart. No matter how good his memory was, after more than ten years in Douluo Continent, it was impossible for him to remember the details of the original work, especially the details of the first Douluo era, so clearly.

But when Ning Junping, who relied on the sect's heritage, passed on the events of ten thousand years ago to Chen Ping, Chen Ping almost instantly recalled a series of memories related to Jixiang.

Although Jixiang on Purple Pearl Island is an ordinary person without innate soul power, with the help of rare and precious materials and the assistance of a master of internal energy to circulate the medicinal power and open up the eight extraordinary meridians, it is indeed possible for him to regain his innate soul power cultivation.

This is by no means baseless ramblings, but a real way to acquire innate soul power.

Even though Tang San was born with full soul power, after absorbing the Eight Spider Lances external bone and perfectly fusing with it under the soul power suppression test of the Heaven Dou Third Teaching Committee, he also opened up his first of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and felt a real increase in his cultivation speed.

Chen Ping guessed that from that period onwards, Tang San's innate soul power level should not have been level ten, but level eleven.

After that, whether it was Tang San, who gradually opened up all eight extraordinary meridians by chance, or the Shrek Seven Devils, who opened up some of the eight extraordinary meridians after consuming immortal treasures, their innate soul power level was probably around level ten or so.

The increases they made after consuming the celestial products, ranging from level five to level seven, were most likely increases in their innate soul power or the number of extraordinary meridians that were opened.

Only such talent in cultivation is worthy of their achievements, which far surpass those of their peers and even allow them to defeat Feng Xiaotian, who is seven or eight years older than them but has full innate soul power.

A level 7 or 8 innate soul power isn't very high, so what if I add another level 6 or 7?
This made Chen Ping even more envious of the delicacies in the hot pot.

It's definitely easier for an ordinary person's meridians to open up than for a top-tier Soul Master.

This is probably why Tang San was able to open all of Ji Xiang's eight extraordinary meridians and bestow innate soul power upon him using only a golden ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king, whose value was far lower than that of the crystal blood dragon ginseng.

But for Chen Ping, the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King wasn't good enough; he could always use the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum instead.

The ability to circulate Qi through the limbs and unblock the eight meridians allows one to cultivate an indestructible body—all of this is clearly stated in the original text.

Even if you can't open all eight extraordinary meridians at once, opening the Ren and Du meridians shouldn't be a problem, right? As for the remaining six meridians, you can open them slowly. There will always be a day when all eight extraordinary meridians are open.

When the time comes, with innate level 18 soul power, even if it's not as good as Qian Renxue's innate level 20 back then, it will definitely be close.

Chen Ping even suspected that it was not impossible for the full opening of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to directly increase a Soul Master's innate Soul Power by an additional ten levels.

Even though this era no longer has the shortcut of using divine tests to quickly increase one's soul power level, Chen Ping believes that his innate soul power level is enough for him to cultivate and reach level 99 by the time he is in his forties or fifties, or even his thirties or forties.

Just as Chen Ping's thoughts were wandering because of the name Jixiang, Ning Junping's introduction quickly brought Chen Ping's attention back.
