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

Chapter 474 Chen Ping, the Preparatory Elder

"Well, alright then, let's let that old bastard Jing Hongchen off the hook for now."

Qian Duoduo scratched his head awkwardly: "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by the fact that Jing Hongchen is only level 92 or 93. His level 9 soul tool, which he's armed to the teeth, is really powerful."

"Over the past two years, Jing Hongchen and I have sparred quite a few times."

"Don't let my title of Super Douluo fool you. With my defensive martial soul, I'm not easy to deal with this guy. I'll have to use all my level-eight soul tools to suppress this old man."

"The improvement of the soul tool is indeed too great. It can even bridge the gap between Title Douluos by several levels and cross the chasm between ordinary Title Douluos and Super Douluos. It's terrifying, terrifying."

Yan Shaozhe also said, "Alas, if it weren't for this, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't still have such formidable national strength even without a single Super Douluo."

"Let's talk about the withdrawal, Chen Ping. What suggestions do you have?"

If it were any other student, how could Yan Shaozhe, in his position, possibly ask for their opinion?

By asking this question, he had already elevated Chen Ping to a level almost equal to his own. It was a question, not a simple inquiry.

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "I think it would be better if we split up. Their target is me and the senior members of our academy who are leading the team; other students are not within their scope of consideration."

"Therefore, my personal suggestion is to split up. Dean Yan and Dean Qian can go with Elder Xuan, and I will stay until tomorrow."

"As for Yuhao and Caitou, although they have learned a lot of knowledge at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the past two years, they are definitely not a thorn in their side. It is enough for Dean Xian to escort them."

"After all, even if they really wanted to do something, they would have to consider Elder Mu's influence. It wouldn't benefit them to mess with Yuhao and Caitou; it would only cause them trouble. Unless they're out of their minds, they wouldn't make a move against them."

"If I walk with my classmates, I have to be careful to protect them, and they are actually in more danger. It would be much more beneficial to split up."

Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. The sooner the better."

"As for Yuhao," Yan Shaozhe turned his head and said, "You and Chen Ping both made great contributions to this exchange program. There will be plenty of time to reward you after we return to the academy."

"Now, you and Lin'er go to the other students' table. After you finish eating, just leave openly and honestly. As long as we are still in the city, you will have a smooth journey."

After watching Xian Lin'er and Huo Yuhao leave the room, Yan Shaozhe turned to Chen Ping and continued, "Chen Ping, we have all seen the contributions you have made to the academy."

"After Lin'er proposed it to the Sea God Pavilion meeting for discussion, all the elders unanimously approved your special permission to enter the Sea God Pavilion."

"Congratulations, you are now a prospective elder of the Sea God Pavilion, at the same level as our Shrek City Lord Shi Xing, and one level higher than Du Weilun, the head of the Martial Soul Department who is still in the assessment period."

"Oh, I forgot to tell Yuhao about this. His achievement of getting so many blueprints is enough to get him into the Sea God Pavilion and become a prospective elder. But Lin'er will probably tell him."

"Preparatory Elder, so fast? I haven't even entered the inner courtyard yet."

Elder Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Chen Ping, this is what you deserve. But it's best that only you know about this. We can't announce it to the public yet, partly to protect you."

"The other one of you is still a student at the academy. You'll be able to officially graduate from the inner academy after this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament." Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then said, "But, it seems I haven't done a single mission for the inspection team yet."

Yan Shaozhe chuckled and said, "What you've accomplished is already ten times the amount of the inspection team's mission. What's more, you've also taken down an evil soul master stronghold in Mingdu, deep within the heart of the Sun Moon Empire, the evil soul master's lair."

"If such achievements, plus the three Evil Soul Douluo brothers you killed before, are not enough to complete the mission of the Inspection Team, then there really aren't many people who can complete the mission of the Inspection Team."

"The academy should not be a constraint on you, but only a support. What you are researching now is your career, and that is the stage for your development."

Elder Xuan interjected, "But you absolutely must win the championship in this competition. We all believe you have the ability. You've been diligently studying soul tools these past few years; your cultivation hasn't suffered, has it?"

Chen Ping said confidently, "I'm already level 48. I might reach level 50 before the competition starts."

As he spoke, Chen Ping released his soul power fluctuations.

This level of cultivation is incredibly solid, even more so than that of an ordinary Soul Master who focuses on building a strong foundation while suppressing any potential advancements.

A hint of shock flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes. "Incredible, truly incredible."

"That kid who used to rely on scraps of Old Man Hei's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall as medicinal food, and who only had a second-level innate soul power, is now a Soul King! Hahaha, time really flies."

Qian Duoduo grinned and said, "Chen Ping, I think you're almost ready to be the academy's mascot."

"why?"

"Little monster! You are the student I have ever met who best fits the word 'monster'."

Yan Shaozhe smiled and congratulated Chen Ping before asking him about the matter of the soul.

Clearly, it wasn't just the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that was envious of the Soul Spirits; Shrek Academy, upon seeing this technology that was completely different from the traditional Soul Ring system, was also as curious as a kitten scratching its head!

After all, they had all witnessed how Ning Tian immediately became a Beast Tamer after obtaining the Silver Moon Wolf King's soul spirit. He had both support and combat power, it was simply outrageous!
Although Yan Shaozhe had previously sent a letter to Qian Duoduo asking about it, and Qian Duoduo then asked Chen Ping, who explained the matter of soul spirits, just looking at how Elder Xuan, who was originally gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly stopped eating, showed just how curious they were about soul spirits.

"My soul is the Ice and Snow Maiden from the far north. The Ice and Snow Maiden was not in good condition to begin with. She was captured and imprisoned for a long time before I released her."

"Because I recently read an ancient book left by a master of the path of the soul, and benefited greatly from it, and then due to some fortuitous circumstances, this snow maiden became my soul spirit. Not only did she retain her consciousness, but she can also cooperate with me in battle."

Chen Ping selectively recounted the matter of the soul, concealing the identity of the Snow Empress and the story of Ilex, but the elders were still amazed.

That being said, Chen Ping was actually not lying.

The Snow Empress is the Ice and Snow Maiden, that's true, right? She was trapped in a state of reincarnation and cultivation, and it's true that she was released by him, right?
There was also the matter of reading ancient books left behind by powerful figures in the path of the soul. Chen Ping had indeed read quite a few books that Electrolux had arranged for him to read.

So there's nothing wrong with that statement; it just selectively preserves the fact that the author of the book was still alive and within his spiritual realm.
