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

Chapter 460 Sea Pillar Operators Must Understand Technology

Hmm? I won't redeem it!

Chen Ping's eyes lit up immediately.

Although Erming's words were brief, they contained a great deal of information!

Unlike the repeated tests and difficulties that Da Ming and Er Ming put on Huo Yuhao in the original work, Er Ming's words at this moment conveyed a very clear signal.

While they and Tang San weren't exactly sworn enemies, they were definitely not on the same page as Tang San.

Come to think of it, the way Erming and Daming challenged and tested Huo Yuhao in the original work was essentially the same thing: they were almost silently questioning Huo Yuhao – are you capable?

The first time these two truly treated Huo Yuhao with kindness was when Elder Yi appeared after burning his divine soul, and together with the power of Da Ming and Er Ming, they suppressed Xue Dan.

From that moment on, everything was already settled for Da Ming and Er Ming, and it was no longer meaningful for them to test Huo Yuhao's behavior.

If these two brothers were truly of one mind with Tang San, there would be no need to go through all that trouble with Huo Yuhao. They could have just dealt with Electrolux step by step instead of wasting all that effort.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Even if Da Ming and Er Ming's hearts were made of stone, being sent down to the mortal realm by Tang San and raising Wang Dong'er from childhood to adulthood, it was impossible for these two guys to remain completely unmoved.

The reason they still followed Tang San's arrangements step by step was simply because they lacked that one opportunity to make a move. They helplessly watched Wang Dong get sick and then become 'Tang Wutong', even managing to force out a Sea God's Descent for his ninth spirit ring.

So judging from the tone of Da Ming and Er Ming, if given a chance, these two brothers would most likely do something, at least they would remain neutral.

These are friendly forces!
When Chen Ping first entered Haotian Fortress, his biggest headache was Er Ming's ability to tear open space with a casual grab, demonstrating combat power on par with Di Tian.

There's no way around it; these are units that can't be dealt with in the early to mid-game. He can only try to take them down one by one when he's fully developed in the late game.

But if these two brothers seem to be Tang San's men, they could actually cause him a lot of trouble if they seize the opportunity.
Chen Ping didn't even need these two brothers to take action; as long as they didn't, it would already be a huge benefit for him.

After all, if these two brothers really followed the same path as Tang San, Chen Ping would have to consider the reaction of the Clear Sky Sect no matter what he did, fearing that these two brothers might jump out and end his life with a single punch.

But if these two are just plain lazy and won't move unless Tang San orders them around, or even if Tang San does order them around, they'll still do whatever they want if given the chance, then things will get really interesting.

Just as Chen Ping was pondering whether he could emulate Electrolux's creation of the Heart of Light to revive Tang Wutong and test the attitudes of Da Ming and Er Ming, Electrolux interrupted.

"Chen Ping, do you remember the eight pillars I told you about before?" Electrolux's words instantly energized Chen Ping: "Of course, how could I forget? Didn't you say before that it was precisely because of those eight pillars that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within Haotian Fortress could be perfectly controlled in the upper half of Haotian Peak?"

Electrolux gave a barely perceptible hum and said, "That's why I suspect this guy doesn't know how to use these eight sacred pillars at all. He probably only knows the most basic functions of assigning tasks and distributing rewards."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping still didn't understand what Electrolux meant.

Even if Tang San doesn't understand how Poseidon's eight sacred pillars, used to find successors and distribute trials and rewards, were made, wouldn't it be enough that he knows how to use them?
Although Tang San doesn't know how the Sea God Pillar is made, they don't know the manufacturing process either.

Seemingly sensing Chen Ping's confusion, Electrolux chuckled and said, "Do you remember that soul-guided stamping and grinding integrated workbench you used in Mingde Hall, which you studied for several days before you fully understood its functions by referring to the instruction manual?"

Chen Ping nodded slightly: "Of course I remember. The workbench in Mingde Hall is simply the perfect equipment in the field of rare metal processing. Except for the fact that it cannot achieve the purification of metals beyond the hundred-fold forging, that machine can almost meet all the basic processing needs of a Soul Master."

Electrolux said, "You're right, that all-in-one workbench is indeed very powerful and has many functions, but do you think it's more complicated to make than those Sea God Pillars?"

"Of course, those sacred pillars," Chen Ping replied without the slightest hesitation.

“That’s right,” Electrox said with a hint of satisfaction that his student was teachable. “The eight sacred pillars you see are even more complex to make than the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Without instructions, how long do you think it would take you to fully understand the technology involved, even just the technology of using these sacred pillars?”

Chen Ping was beginning to understand what Electrolux meant.

Let alone this sacred pillar, even with the Mingde Hall's stamping integrated metal processing machine, without the help of the instruction manual, Chen Ping might not be able to use all the patterns created by the developers clearly and understand them even after a year.

If you don't read the instruction manual carefully, accidentally pressing a few buttons or losing a couple of fingers in Mingde Hall is not uncommon. You can just go to the school clinic to pick it up.

The reason Electrolux used the processing machine tool of Mingde Hall as an example for Chen Ping was actually to tell Chen Ping that, given that Tang San knew nothing about soul tools and that the previous Sea God ran away at lightning speed after inheriting the Sea God's position, this guy probably couldn't understand how to use these eight holy pillars at all!
At present, Tang San's ability to understand how the Sacred Pillar issues missions and rewards, and how to improve his soul power level and soul ring age is probably already quite remarkable.

As for the other functions of these pillars, if he could really figure them out, he wouldn't have let that divine energy dissipate into the air, benefiting a whole bunch of flying soul beasts for nothing.

This gave Chen Ping and Electrolux an opportunity.

If Tang San had truly studied those eight test inheritance pillars left by Poseidon so thoroughly, neither Chen Ping nor Electrolux would dare to risk being exposed by Tang San through the internet and cause trouble.

Judging from the conversation between Da Ming and Er Ming, they seem to have already reported to Tang San about the elimination of Electrolux. Tang San's divine sense was also damaged to some extent when he contacted Da Ming and Er Ming across realms, and he will need at least a few months of rest in the lower realm to fully recover.
