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

Chapter 444 Immobilization Spell and Sleepiness

"These crooked and twisted core magic array patterns, although different from the stable and balanced patterns of our current soul tools, are clearly also based on the design concept of soul tools."

"Ten thousand years ago, apart from storage soul tools, there were basically no other types of soul tools on the Douluo Continent."

“I have read in ancient books that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, also known as the Heart of the Sea God, is a treasure left by the first Sea God Poseidon in the human world to choose his successor.”

"Since the other party was able to design such a soul tool, it is probably a work created by learning the soul tool design concept of the Sun Moon Continent at that time."

Mo Fang nodded repeatedly at Chen Ping's words: "That's right, that's right. In the past few days, when I was studying this soul tool, I was surprised to find that the patterns on the rubbing of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover were extremely similar to the core array design concept I once found in the ancient book on Sun and Moon Soul Tools."

"You may not know, but the design concept of soul tools ten thousand years ago is very different from that of today. It emphasizes perfection in one stroke, and all functions must be integrated into a core magic array."

"This is why the successive sect leaders of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School have been unable to figure out the secret of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from the rubbing diagrams, while your teacher and I were able to understand the manufacturing process of this thing without much effort, and even produced many simplified versions of the Vast Ocean Universe Tower Soul Guidance Device."

"They don't realize that the core array from ten thousand years ago and the core array now are completely different things."

"I spent more than a month assembling these rubbings and studying them for a while. I added breakpoints to these core magic arrays according to my own understanding, then disassembled them and re-engraved them on high-level energy-gathering gems. It didn't take much effort to create the Vast Ocean Universe Towers you see."

And this kind of operation?

Chen Ping's eyes widened in astonishment at Mo Fang's deciphering of Poseidon's soul tool design, but at the same time, he was even more shocked by Poseidon.

As of now, based on Chen Ping's knowledge, Poseidon's abilities include, but are not limited to, hand-crafting divinely bestowed spirit rings, creating the divine skill Golden Thirteen Halberds, increasing the age of spirit rings out of thin air, and now also having the identity of an ancient top-level spirit master.

Perhaps the trick of increasing the age of a spirit ring out of thin air was learned from Poseidon and the first generation of angels, after all, Qian Renxue in the original work also increased the age of her spirit ring, but the rest of the skills seem to have been developed by herself.

All I can say is that living a long life is truly impressive.

Based on Chen Ping's speculation, the reason why Poseidon was able to master the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool manufacturing method so skillfully was most likely because he discovered the Sun Moon Empire while fighting for a thousand years during his conquest of the sea, and thus learned some soul tool manufacturing methods along the way.

This also explains why, even though there were hardly any soul tools in the Douluo Continent more than 10,000 years ago, the level of soul tools in the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was several stories high—do you understand the value of the first generation of overseas students?

"Professor, have you figured out the specific meaning of these magic arrays?"

Chen Ping asked the question that concerned him most: "Judging from my sparring with those disciples from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School just now, this soul tool doesn't just achieve effects like fire-breathing or energy gathering; it actually integrates soul skills into it!" Chen Ping couldn't help but care about this question. After all, for a soul tool like the Vast Ocean Universe Tower, whether its shape is a knife, sword, or gun is completely unimportant. This thing is essentially a soul skill launcher.

Aside from the fact that the Vast Ocean Protective Shield skill is indeed a super-sized, pyramid-shaped shield when it is released, what is the relationship between the remaining skills, Raging Sea and the unused Qiankun Demon Breaking skill, and the shape of the Soul Guidance Device itself?

This led Chen Ping to speculate whether the reason why Poseidon could create divine soul rings that could directly grant users the soul skills that best suited them was related to these wave-like core magic arrays.

After all, if Poseidon could force four soul skills into the Heart of the Sea God, there's no reason why the other party couldn't directly customize soul skills on the soul ring, right?
Upon hearing this, Mo Fang immediately shook his head: "You overestimate me. I only have a rudimentary understanding of the core arrays of these ancient soul tools. It's already quite good that I can distinguish where the breakpoints of the four core arrays of soul skills integrated on the Vast Ocean Universe Cover are."

"Want to directly understand the function of this core magic array that looks like an earthworm, and even use it as a basis to inscribe other soul skills on a soul tool? Difficult, extremely difficult."

As he spoke, Mo Fang sighed, his words filled with awe at Poseidon, an ancient man from more than 10,000 years ago.

Clearly, even in the eyes of Mo Fang, a level nine soul master, Poseidon's soul tool level was still considered extremely high.

"Alright, enough of that. I knew from your success rate in creating the Soul Guidance Core Array that your mental strength is extraordinary, perhaps even comparable to other mental-type Soul Masters of the same level."

"Therefore, I have specially prepared a Vast Ocean Universe Tower for you. The skill that can be activated is called Universe Stabilizing Shield. The coverage area of ​​the shield is determined by your own spiritual power. Any Soul Master whose spiritual power is less than one-third of yours will feel a strong sense of dizziness in an instant and be forcibly frozen in place."

"As for the duration, it depends on the difference in mental strength between you and your opponent, as well as the number of people you can control at once. If it's an ordinary person, with your mental strength, making someone sleep for a day and a night might not be a difficult task."

Chen Ping had initially thought that the Qiankun Dingshen Shield skill conflicted with the effect of his Han Ding Seal, and that it could only be used to bully weaker opponents. However, after Mo Fang explained all the effects of the item, Chen Ping changed his mind.

Damn it, it's true that both the immobilization spell and the sleep spell can immobilize a person for a certain period of time and render them unable to resist, but the application scenarios of these two skills are very different, and you really can't do without either one.

For Chen Ping, the Cold Fixed Seal was clearly more convenient for his combat, but if he really had to carry out an infiltration mission, he couldn't just kill a large number of henchmen with one blow. That's when the Qiankun Fixed Spirit Cover came in handy.

It makes a whole bunch of people dizzy; you'll know how effective it is once you try it!

Just as Chen Ping was happily receiving the Vast Ocean Universe Soul Guidance Pagoda from Mo Fang, at the same time, at the bottom of the Haotian Sect, also within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a lively scene unfolded.
