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

Chapter 447 Old Master Yi: Just died, don't mention him.
"Second Father, are you hiding something from me?"

“When I went home last year, I asked you and Uncle to check what that light that came out of my head was. You obviously knew something, so why didn’t you tell me? Now you’re being so evasive.”

Upon seeing Erming's expression, Wang Dong jumped off his chair and looked warily at Erming, whose face appeared quite unnatural.

"Xiaodong, you're being ridiculous!"

At this moment, Da Ming spoke up, his tone full of criticism: "When your second father and I were investigating that light in your head, we suspected it was related to a strange disease, but we couldn't be sure. We were afraid you would become paranoid, so we didn't tell you."

"As for your second father hiding something from you, that's utter nonsense. Inside the Cold Jade Room, there's a frozen spring that absorbs the cold energy of heaven and earth, which is only found in the far north, and a ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow Bed that is of great benefit to ultimate ice attribute soul masters."

"If your classmate can draw the cold energy from the Jade Bed into his body and circulate it for a few cycles, the slow cultivation of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul can be greatly alleviated. This can be considered as your second father and I repaying a favor. Is there anything we're hiding from you?"

Da Ming's criticism was rather harsh, making Wang Dong momentarily doubt whether he was wrong. So he obediently lowered his head and apologized, "Second Father, Second Father, I misunderstood you. Please don't be angry with me."

As he spoke, Wang Dong reached out and grabbed Er Ming's hand, shaking it back and forth.

Erming wasn't good at lying, and he was quite nervous. Now, with Wang Dong pulling his hand and shaking him around, the scene before him seemed to overlap with his memories. He subconsciously blurted out, "Wutong... how could Uncle Erming have given birth to you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Erming belatedly shut his mouth. However, Wang Dong himself hadn't paid much attention to Erming's words. Although he was puzzled about what his second father had just called out, Daming quickly found an opportunity to laugh it off.

It wasn't until Wang Dong left the largest council hall on the third floor of Haotian Fort that Da Ming's somewhat reproachful gaze fell on Er Ming.

"Second brother, your heart is in turmoil. You've fallen for this child. Do you still want Wu Tong to come back?"

Da Ming's words left Er Ming silent for a long while before he finally spoke in a muffled voice, "I... I understand, brother. I will control my emotions."

"Hey, I hope so."

Da Ming let out a long sigh, as if speaking to Er Ming, or perhaps to himself.

Within the undead demiplane.

Chen Ping was listening intently as Electrolux analyzed the blank spirit ring and explained its current discovery.

Of course, Chen Ping listened attentively, but whether he understood what he heard was another matter entirely.

After all, the technology involved in a divinely bestowed soul ring is too advanced. To dismantle it, one must be at the same level as Poseidon, like a master of Electrolux's level, to solve the problem.

At this moment, Chen Ping was like a student being led by a top doctoral supervisor to various conferences. Every time the supervisor pointed to a big shot's technology and said that the implementation of the technology was composed of several parts, all Chen Ping could do was nod, giving his supervisor the illusion that he might have understood.

Fortunately, Electrolux knew that the knowledge he had imparted to Chen Ping was insufficient for him to understand the creation process of a divinely bestowed soul ring, so he did not force him.

In his view, it would take Chen Ping at least a hundred years to fully master his mantle.

This amount of time seems like a lot, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem like much. Putting aside other factors, if all the level nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire had a lifespan of three hundred years, then at least thirty percent of them could become level ten soul masters.

If this timeframe were extended to a thousand years, probably 90% of them would be qualified to become level 10 Soul Masters.

This is the power of time: given enough lifespan, even an ordinary person can achieve remarkable success.

For geniuses, a long lifespan allows them to fully realize their potential.

Whether it was Poseidon or Elex, whether they gained immortality through the power of faith or by transforming themselves into liches, it is clear that, after being refined by a thousand years of wisdom, they possessed a level of intelligence that ordinary people could not comprehend.

But if they both only had a lifespan of a hundred years, they would never have achieved what they have today.

Just as Electrox's own divine sense withdrew from the weakened divinely bestowed soul ring, Electrox seemed to sense something, and his expression instantly became strange.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Chen Ping looked at Electrolux, who had suddenly stopped, with some confusion. Electrolux didn't seem to have suddenly fallen into thought; rather, he seemed to be sensing something.

Electrolux didn't answer Chen Ping. Instead, he raised his staff, consuming some of Chen Ping's soul power and mental power, and instantly summoned a tiny undead gate. Then he continued to sense something.

Soon, Electrox closed the small gate to the dead and spoke with a strange expression.

"It's nothing. I just died briefly. Judging by the time, I should be completely dead by now."

Electrolux's nonsensical question left Chen Pinglei completely dumbfounded. What did he mean by "just died briefly, and is now completely dead"?

But looking at Electrolux's confident expression, Chen Ping's mind raced, and he quickly understood what Electrolux meant by "dying for a moment".

"Elder Yi, what about the half of your divine sense that you left in Huo Yuhao's body before?"

Electrolux nodded: "You guessed right, it's that half of divine consciousness."

"I can sense that half of his divine sense has only been awake for about a year, and he is still extremely weak. I estimate that he can only rest most of the time. Even teaching that little guy named Huo Yuhao is a struggle for him. As for doing more, that's just a pipe dream."

"This is why, after I sensed the Life Gold Carving Knife within your storage soul tool, I didn't hesitate to split my already weakened divine sense in two again. Without the nourishment of Life Gold, the recovery of divine sense would take years, even decades or hundreds of years to accumulate."

"In my condition at the time, I probably wouldn't have survived until then; I might have naturally perished. As for opening and closing the gates of the dead at will and using my divine sense to study the various interesting things on your Douluo Continent, that's just nonsense."

"So I guess the reason why my other half of divine sense was able to persist until now before it finally died is probably because it forcibly seized a bit of the spiritual essence of that big worm in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, which is why it persisted until today. Then, in return, it ignited its divine soul and helped that child resolve the crisis."
