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

Chapter 463 Replicating the Heart of Poseidon! (4K, Striving for Average Subscriptions)

Chen Ping nodded: "Yes, not only that, the reason why Tang San was able to obtain the Black and Red level assessments that were different from his other partners is also because he has the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

"After all, the seventh of the nine trials of the Sea God is to pull out the Trident of the Sea God, and to complete this trial, the Trident of the Sea God and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover must first be integrated."

"Based on this point alone, no matter how talented the soul masters who set foot on Seagod Island are, without the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, they would never be able to obtain the Nine Trials of Seagod."

After saying this, Chen Ping subconsciously fell silent for a moment. He could only say that Tang San back then truly deserved to be called the chosen one of destiny in Douluo Continent.

If he remembered correctly, Poseidon in the original novel once said that with Tang San's talent, at best he would only be a top-tier eighth-level Soul Master, and his future achievements would be roughly the same as Poseidon's.

However, it was precisely because of the continuous effect of Tang San's luck that the Heaven Dou Empire sent out an overseas soul tool that seemed to have only four skills but could increase Tang San's ability to withstand risks, ultimately creating a god.

That's the power of luck.

To be frank, if Tang Chen had had this luck back then, wouldn't he have become the Sea God?
With Tang Chen's talent—being able to reach level 99 like Poseidon and Qian Daoliu without relying on divine examinations—he wouldn't have been able to inherit a Sea God's position ten thousand years ago.
Surely Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer can't inherit the Sea God's position, but Tang San can inherit it just by adding the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul?
To put it even more bluntly, if the God of Asura had truly turned a blind eye like he did when searching for a successor for Poseidon, then the Vampire Nine-Headed Bat King wouldn't have been able to possess Tang Chen's body at all. Even with a little extra help, he would have been taken down and then ascended to godhood at lightning speed through inheritance.

First, fate; second, luck; third, feng shui; fourth, accumulating good deeds; fifth, studying.

The fact that Tang Chen couldn't find any other first- or second-level god's divine position to inherit was due to his bad luck. However, the fact that he received a divine test when the first generation Asura God didn't want to inherit the divine position meant that Tang Chen's fate was also bad.

The world's will in Douluo Continent can influence a Soul Master's luck to some extent, but it cannot affect their destiny. Someone like Tang Chen is someone whose destiny and luck are both lacking; no matter how good his talent is, it will be wasted.

Even if he eventually ascended to the God Realm with the help of a shrine and the Haotian Token he gave to Tang San, given his talent, he only ended up as a lowly official or God Realm hunter, not even a third-level god. Whether the old man was truly happy or not, only he knows.

After all, the only thing separating him from the positions of Sea God and Asura was the lack of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and the Asura God's desire to find a successor. That was all.

"If that's the case, then I understand what's missing between us."

Electrolux's tone became confident: "If I remember correctly, you told me that when Professor Mo replicated the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to create the Vast Ocean Universe Tower, the material he used was Koinor Diamonds, right?"

Chen Ping nodded; Electrolux was right.

The Koinor Diamond is not only infinitely similar to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in terms of color, texture, and dispersion, but it can also withstand almost any type of soul power and convert it into energy output with almost no loss. It is the most likely raw material that Poseidon would use to make the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

This also explains why Tang San was unable to find the fundamental reason to repair the Vast Ocean Universe Cover after it was broken.

Because this rare gemstone was originally a specialty of the Sun Moon Continent, and the map of the Sun Moon Empire was not officially opened until Tang San ascended to immortality, where could Tang San find this raw material?
"In that case, Chen Ping, relax your body, gather your mental energy into your spiritual sea, and leave the rest to me."

Electrolux no longer rested in the second sea of ​​consciousness opened by Chen Ping's Life Blade, but appeared directly in Chen Ping's spiritual sea. Chen Ping did not hesitate to relax his control over his body.

Just as Chen Ping lost his most basic control over his body and began to lose his balance, showing a tendency to fall backward, Electrolux took over Chen Ping's body and steadied him with the fastest speed. After more than a second, his eyes turned pure gray.

“That’s right. Even if you open your mind now, because your spirit and body are so tightly integrated, it will still be several times more difficult for me to completely control your body than before. This will be beneficial for you to reach a higher level in the future.”

As he spoke, Chen Ping—or rather, Electrolux—raised his hand, and a rough, unprocessed cobalt blue gemstone appeared in his palm.

Chen Ping's brow twitched slightly, and the life-carving knife hidden in his brow jumped out with incredible fluidity, landing precisely in Electrolux's hand.

Electrolux held the roughly made Coynor diamond, about half the size of his palm, in his left hand, while his right hand moved rapidly in rhythm.

His movements were incredibly swift, at least in Chen Ping's eyes. Even though he was using his own fingers to hold the Life Gold carving knife to carve, Chen Ping had a dazzling illusion.

Electrolux moved quickly, and in a short while, the originally irregular, rough gemstone, which resembled a rocky mountain range with nine bends in a hundred steps, began to subtly transform into the most standard triangular pyramid.

At this moment, Electrolux's movements became even gentler. With each cut, the brilliance reflected from the gemstone mirror was dazzling. The life-giving blade of the engraving knife played a significant role in making it so easy and effortless to cut and process gemstones without machine tools.

Soon, in just over ten breaths, Electrolux had transformed a cobalt blue rough diamond into a standard rough form of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

At this moment, the diamond in Electrolux's palm was a crystal-clear blue, three-dimensional triangular in shape, with a shimmering blue light that emanated from it.

Immediately afterwards, a pale golden light shot out from Electrox's gray eyes, landing on the finished gemstone, and strange energy fluctuations emanated from all four sides.

Soon, gray, water-like patterns began to ripple across the blue triangular piece.

These patterns don't look like they're carved on; they seem to come alive.

Chen Ping could see clearly that Electrolux had engraved the standard patterns on the original copy of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover on the four faces of the blue triangle.

Chen Ping just couldn't understand why Electrolux was so confident in doing this, even though he was as skilled as Mo Fang in soul tools, he could only break down the various formations on the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and realize their functions one by one.
Chen Ping soon witnessed what Electrolux was planning to do.

The wisp of Poseidon's divine power that had previously appeared between his fingers and the eight sacred pillars had now transformed from a barely perceptible blue arc into a pale blue film, gently covering the triangular prism. At this moment, the gray runes that Electrox had left on the triangular prism using his own divine sense absorbed the pale blue film like a sponge, then precisely imprinted themselves in the original positions of the runes.

"Is this... etching?"

Chen Ping had no idea that he had only discussed with Electrolux the future core array becoming increasingly complicated, and that perhaps one day the hand-carved core array would be replaced by etching and photolithography technology similar to that on Earth. Electrolux would then be able to use his own divine sense and this almost non-existent power of the Sea God to perform a genuine etching of the core array.

As the pale blue, wave-like core magic array constructed by the power of the sea god gradually materialized on the blue triangle before him, all the magic array conflicts and contact connection problems that Mo Fang had encountered when carving the core magic array with a carving knife were completely swept away.

Soon, circles of blue light flickered, casting a faint glow throughout the second floor of Haotian Fortress. Ilex reached out, grasped the blue triangle in front of him, and infused it with a bit of soul power. Instantly, the ripple arrays on all four sides lit up.

Chen Ping was immediately shocked. Electrolux's performance just now proved one thing: the blue triangle in front of him had indeed replicated all four skills from the original Vast Ocean Universe Cover!
And that's not the main point. The main point is that from now on, this blue triangle is qualified to be called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, or directly called the "Heart of the Sea God"!

After all, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in front of us, apart from not containing a wisp of Poseidon's divine thought, should have the same effect as the original Heart of the Sea God that Tang San once possessed.

Well, if we take that into account, for the sake of accuracy, it might be more appropriate to call this blue triangular object, which was entirely handcrafted by Elder Yi using a wisp of the Sea God's power and materials, the "Heart of the Ocean."

Although Old Yi was very fast, both Chen Ping and Electrolux could already hear Wang Dong knocking on each room one by one.

So quickly, Electrox put away the Life-Carving Knife, gently held the Heart of the Ocean in his left hand, and a faint blue light pierced through the disguise that covered the holy pillars and shone directly into one of them.

Even though the sacred pillar in front of them was wrapped in a layer of iron birch wood, a faint blue light, the same color as the Heart of the Ocean, still shone through that layer of iron birch wood the next moment.

"Hehe, I guessed right. Since the Trident of Poseidon requires the Vast Ocean Universe Cover or something like the Heart of Poseidon to be properly activated and used, to prevent some fool from forcibly taking it away, these eight sacred pillars will naturally have a similar activation method."

As Electrolux's voice rang out, Chen Ping looked at the lit holy pillar and could do nothing but shout "Old Electrolux is awesome!"

"Assessment, rewards. Assessment level, seniority increase, reward distribution, teleportation to the Divine Examination Hall. Hmm, the functions within the Sea God Pillar that Bo Saixi is in charge of are indeed numerous."

"It's just that you're not the one being tested by the gods right now, so even if I wanted to activate these functions in the Holy Pillar, I couldn't."

Electrolux returned control of Chen Ping's body and then injected his divine sense into the Holy Pillar, easily sensing the various functions that had been activated within it.

Electrolux's statement that he couldn't get the reward because he wasn't a candidate for the divine test made Chen Ping suddenly understand a question he hadn't figured out before—why was Tang Wutong's ninth soul skill the Descent of the Sea God?

Now the truth is clear: from the very beginning, Tang Wutong, who bore the mark of the Trident of Poseidon on her forehead, had already undergone the divine test.

It could be the top-level test, or it could be the third or seventh test, or even a god-level test. In any case, if Tang San wanted to increase Tang Wutong's age and create two more soul skills, he only needed to modify the rewards for the god-level test and then issue them.

As for Tang San's 'top-level assessment' being completely without difficulty, does it violate the rules of the God Realm for selecting successors?
The Asura God who used to be in charge of this issue is now Tang San.

Furthermore, with the two great god kings of good and evil replaced by new people, as long as the god king of destruction doesn't have his eye on Tang San, it would be incredibly easy for Tang San to steal from the place!

"Elder Yi, could you use this Sea God Pillar to send me a quest or something? Once the quest is sent, I can figure out how to complete it, and then you can use this sacred pillar to give me any rewards you want?"

"I remember that both Qian Renxue and Tang San received a reward for increasing the age of their spirit rings after completing the Divine Trial, up to a maximum of 50,000 years. Why don't you try getting my first three spirit rings to 50,000 years first, Elder Yi?"

Chen Ping's eyes darted around. This was a real divine artifact, even more divine than the trident.

If this were set in the Douluo Continent, it would be like playing a survival mode game and suddenly finding an administrator control panel!
Moreover, Tang San is currently the actual controller of these eight Ocean Sacred Pillars. No matter what functions they use on their side, it is highly likely that Tang San, who is far away in the God Realm, will help them pay for it!

"You little rascal, you're dreaming," Electrox chuckled, clearly amused by Chen Ping's extremely greedy statement: "Have you forgotten that all those who take the Divine Exam have a Divine Exam mark on their foreheads?"

"I can indeed use this sacred pillar to give you a test right now. It's hard to say about the nine trials of the Sea God, but with your talent, the top eight trials are definitely no problem. But the next second, Tang San from the God Realm will probably find out."

"Do you think we've lived a long life, or do you think the elf has been sleeping too much lately and are planning to give it some more training?"

"Uh"

Chen Ping was immediately drenched in sweat after Electrolux said that.

Yes, if he were to accept the divine test, wouldn't that be like sending a lamb to the slaughter, offering his neck to Tang San?

Over the years, he has been extremely cautious, trying his best not to act in a high-profile manner in front of Tang San's spies, all to avoid being noticed by Tang San.

If he were to actually accept the divine test issued by the Holy Pillar, he would be waiting for Tang San to send a divine communication to his brain and then kill Electrolux again.
