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

Chapter 443 Vast Ocean Universe Tower

To Chen Ping's surprise, Chen Ying's answer to this question also carried a somewhat uncertain tone.

"I'm not too sure about what you're talking about. I only know that these soul tools seem to have been gradually distributed to the disciples of the sect in the last few months. They are called the Vast Ocean Universe Towers, and each tower has different skills available within it."

"Like Dashan and Gulipa just now, the solidified skills in the Vast Ocean Universe Tower Soul Guidance Device are Vast Ocean Protective Shield and Vast Ocean Raging Waves, respectively. And if I remember correctly, the solidified skill in the Vast Ocean Universe Tower on Xiaonian's waist seems to be called Universe Demon Breaker."

"If I remember correctly, the sect leader also seems to have researched this kind of soul tool, but basically every time he returned empty-handed. On the contrary, it was only after Professor Mo came to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that this kind of soul tool began to appear in the sect one after another."

The Vast Ocean Universe Tower! A soul skill activated by a soul tool! A transmitter for solidifying soul skills!

Chen Ping's mind raced, and almost instantly he thought of the Heart of the Sea God that Tang San had once possessed—the one that was first placed in the diamond-shaped hole of the Trident of the Sea God, and later shattered when it was used to save the day when Qian Renxue was chasing him.

By the way, to be precise, that thing wasn't originally installed on the Trident of Poseidon. It was a national treasure hidden in the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury, called the Vast Ocean Universe Shield. It integrates four skills: Vast Ocean Protective Shield, Vast Ocean Raging Waves, Universe Immobilization Shield, and Universe Demon Breaker.

This thing is essentially a tool that the first Poseidon, the sea god, specifically left in the human world to find a successor. It is highly unlikely that it is the equipment on the trident of the sea god, otherwise it would not have been possible to just stuff a whale pearl of the deep sea demon whale king into it and get away with it.

This is why, after the Vast Ocean Universe Cover completed its certification by drawing blood from Tang San's body, a voice appeared saying that they had finally found a physique capable of withstanding the power of the Vast Ocean.

Poseidon clearly had two plans for the Heart of the Sea God. For Soul Masters who looked down on it, this thing was an incredibly powerful Soul Tool that could unleash four different Soul Skills at once. No one would casually throw it away; instead, it would be constantly used.

Once a host is found, things will be much easier. Even if Yu Xiaogang doesn't tell Tang San about the Seagod Island overseas, the remaining divine thoughts in the Heart of the Seagod will most likely appear in Tang San's dream and ask him to go to the island for trials.

However, what puzzled Chen Ping was why there was a replica of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and why it had only been created in the last few months.

The answer to this question came when Chen Ping temporarily bid farewell to Chen Ying and arrived at Mo Fang's laboratory.

The laboratory on the other side, which had a layout exactly the same as that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, was filled with all kinds of Vast Ocean Universe Towers of all sizes.

"Young Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Please sit down, please sit down. Thanks to you, I haven't had such a pleasant research session in a long time."

Chen Ping lay on Mo Fang's experimental table, watching Mo Fang use a carving knife to draw on the four sides of a brand-new Vast Ocean Universe Tower. After drawing various crooked curves that resembled ocean waves, a Vast Ocean Universe Tower, completely different from the traditional way of carving the core array of soul tools, was freshly made.

It was only then that Old Man Mo finally noticed Chen Ping, who was perched opposite him, watching with great interest. He stood up with some surprise, a smile spreading across his face. "No wonder Professor Mo, you haven't sent out a single message for the last few months after arriving at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. You've been researching this the whole time?"

Chen Ping casually picked up a Han Hai Qian Kun Tower and looked at the strange wave-like patterns on the four triangular sides, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Mo Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "More or less. Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has relatively little reserve of high-level rare metals from the Sun and Moon Continent, it's enough when I add the rare metal quota in my old storage soul tool."

"Originally, after I came to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, I had been focusing on how to further optimize the linked defense soul tool. It was at that time that Sect Master Ning heard about my troubles and handed me a stack of ancient books, saying that these were rubbings of the Heavenly Dou National Treasure Vast Ocean Universe Cover from various angles. Studying these might be helpful for the linked defense soul tool."

"According to him, the real Vast Ocean Universe Cover can integrate four soul skills at once. It belongs to an ancient soul tool from ten thousand years ago. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master of his generation was only fortunate enough to imprint the patterns on the four sides of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover because of his status as the Crown Prince Tutor of the Heaven Dou Empire at that time."

"To be honest, before seeing those rubbings, many people in the Sun Moon Empire, including myself, believed that becoming a god at level 100 was just a legend. But the technology used to create the Vast Ocean Universe Tower comes from more than 10,000 years ago. It's truly unbelievable."

Mo Fang's sigh made Chen Ping subconsciously fall into thought.

In the original novel, when Tang San was bestowed the title of Blue King and obtained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Ning Fengzhi seemed to be present and even showed a look of envy.

Judging from Mo Fang's words, Ning Fengzhi at the time was probably so envious of Tang San simply because even he, as a tutor to the Crown Prince, hadn't managed to get his hands on this thing; he had only managed to obtain the qualification to make a copy.

However, despite the existence of rubbings, the understanding of soul tools in the Douluo Continent at that time was basically limited to storage soul tools and functional soul tools similar to the Dragon Abyss Boat.

They had no concept of rare metals or core magic arrays, let alone directly overcoming countless technological barriers to replicate the time-defying Vast Ocean Universe Cover created by the old Sea God.

Moreover, the fact that this thing mentioned by Chen Ying only started to be equipped in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the last few months also illustrates a point: even though the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School clashed with the Sun Moon Continent, and the two sides' technologies merged during the war for thousands of years, they still did not master the technology to replicate this soul tool.

It wasn't until Chen Ping, through a series of coincidences, directly brought back Mo Fang, a ninth-level Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire, that the technology contained within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover created by the old Sea God Poseidon began to be gradually cracked and made into Soul Guidance Devices, which were then equipped on the disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Otherwise, given the level of soul guidance research within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Ping highly doubted whether the school would need several thousand more years to fully understand this thing.

Hearing Mo Fang's exclamation about the existence of gods in Douluo Continent, Chen Ping said, "Professor, although gods did exist in Douluo Continent more than 10,000 years ago, and there were quite a few of them, I guess the design inspiration for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover probably came from the Sun Moon Continent, right?"
