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

Chapter 476 Daring to Show Off Such Trivial Skills (8K)

"Back then, in order to cultivate, you not only indiscriminately killed soul beasts, but also used your scorpion tail to suck the little bit of blood from the heart of a powerful soul beast."

"Within a month, the Soul Beast Forest managed to launch a small-scale beast tide without the authorization of any ferocious beasts."

"If it weren't for the fact that Elder Mu happened to be the city lord of Shrek City that year, and was quite responsible, he would have noticed the rioting beast tide at first glance and single-handedly stopped it, preventing any human from losing their lives. Otherwise, do you think Elder Mu would have let you off the hook?"

Elder Xuan's words, which could be described as revealing the truth, helped Chen Ping understand the contradiction that Shrek Academy both labeled Zhang Peng as an evil soul master and let him go back then.

Zhang Peng, damn it, he's really asking for trouble.

Not only did they indiscriminately kill soul beasts, but they also only absorbed a tiny bit of their heart's blood, which caused a small-scale beast tide.

It's no wonder he wasn't beaten to death by Elder Mu back then, but only given a lesson.

Zhang Peng hadn't expected that Elder Mu would tell Elder Xuan about the whole story of what he had done decades ago, and his face turned pale and then red.

"Then I am not an evil soul master! I no longer kill innocent people indiscriminately when I cultivate. In the past few decades, I only kill soul beasts when I need to improve my cultivation!"

Elder Xuan snorted coldly: "Then the number of soul beasts you have to hunt in your lifetime of cultivation has already exceeded the number of soul beasts required for hundreds or even thousands of soul masters to cultivate in their entire lives."

"Zhang Peng, with your current cultivation level, the blood of a soul beast below the ten-thousand-year level is probably not enough to support your rapid cultivation. But an ordinary soul master, even a titled Douluo, only needs four soul beasts of the ten-thousand-year level or above!"

"It's one thing for a Soul Master like you to secretly hide in a corner and play by yourself, wasting the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Beast reserves."

"Now that you've actually accepted that old bastard Jing Hongchen's invitation to come and intercept my Shrek Academy students, then you'll leave your life here today."

The soul power condensed on Elder Xuan's body became increasingly concentrated, and it was on the verge of exploding.

At this moment, half of the sky had turned black, and streaks of yellowish-brown lightning flashed continuously. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a change in the color of heaven and earth.

"No, I didn't! Damn it, Xuanzi, I just came to steal the crafting method for Thousand-Refined Metal!"

"Moreover, Jing Hongchen said that as long as you hand over the method for making Thousand Refined Metal, the conditions he mentioned before will still be valid, and the amount of rare metals he promised you before will still be the same."

Seeing that Elder Xuan seemed to be gathering all his strength to slap him to death, Zhang Peng immediately chickened out and revealed his secret.

Despite the considerable cost Jing Hongchen paid to have the Holy Spirit Cult intervene, the Holy Spirit Cult members were actually afraid that Mu Lao, who was still alive, would come after them for a fight!

Therefore, Zhang Peng wouldn't dare to intercept Shrek Academy students, let alone openly steal the Thousand-Refined Metal Manufacturing Technique. If he actually succeeded, his previous instructions required him to give all the promised fifty-eight silver dragon scales and other miscellaneous resources to the Shrek Academy members.

As for why, it's because some people within the Holy Spirit Church are worried that Moon will come knocking.

Moon is just old, not dead. Give Shrek a reasonable price, even if it's a forced sale. Moon, being old, still has the dignity of Shrek to bear, so he won't have to go to their door in person.

But if they obtained this technology for free, and even injured or killed members of Shrek Academy, then this would be a really big problem.

As he spoke, Zhang Peng clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a black ball of light immediately appeared in his palms. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings quickly rose from beneath his feet. The nine spirit rings took turns emitting a halo of light.

As soon as the black orb appeared, it unleashed an extremely powerful slowing force, actually managing to barely withstand Elder Xuan's attack and sucking in the fiery red giant hand that Elder Xuan had swung out.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to collapse, and Chen Ping felt a moment of dizziness as the sky suddenly darkened. At this moment, Elder Xuan understood Zhang Peng's intentions, and the killing intent in his chest was not so strong, but Zhang Peng's fists did not stop for a moment.

Soon, Zhang Peng was starting to struggle under Elder Xuan's relentless pressure.

The dark clouds in the air suddenly contracted inward, and he roared, throwing out both fists at once. A deep tiger's roar burst forth in the air, and the sound waves and air currents forcefully dispersed the wind from Elder Xuan's continuous punches.

Zhang Peng's body suddenly swelled, transforming in an instant into a giant black tiger. He had unleashed his Martial Soul True Form.

The black tiger he transformed into was over fifteen meters long, with its tail held high and topped with a gleaming black hook.

The dark clouds that had been hanging in the sky were now all beneath his feet. His dark purple eyes gleamed with ferocity. He opened his mouth and let out a roar.

Amidst the expanding, intense sonic boom, countless shrieks echoed through the air. Clumps of dark shadows were released from the clouds beneath him, transforming into various forms of soul beasts that pounced on Elder Xuan with mournful cries.

"You dare to show off your meager skills? You don't take me seriously at all. Taotie Divine Ox, possess me!"

Elder Xuan's voice boomed out like thunder in a rainy night.

It was only then that Chen Ping suddenly realized that Elder Xuan hadn't even activated his Martial Soul Possession; he had only used his soul power to envelop his fist, yet Zhang Peng had still managed to force him to activate his Martial Soul True Body!

No, is it really that exaggerated?
When Elder Xuan went all out and didn't hold back, he could defeat Zhang Peng, a Super Douluo, with his fists and even activate his Martial Soul True Body. But when Elder Xuan was drunk and holding back, he couldn't even catch a level 50 Death Messenger. That's a huge difference.

It's fair to say that once someone is associated with the "lao" generation, they're basically ruined—that's a good point.

"Elder Xuan, stop hitting me. It's no use hitting me. I'm just a vanguard today, leading the charge."

"How about this, I'll wait until you and Elder Mu are both dead before I start absorbing the blood of soul beasts to cultivate? I can't just stop cultivating now, can I?"

The giant tiger that Zhang Peng had transformed into spoke, and Xuanzi, who had been unwilling to submit and had two others who were resentful, transformed back into Xuan Lao. His tiger claws kept swinging, clearly having been broken in several places when he had withstood Xuan Lao's punches earlier.

"You're talking nonsense! Old Mu and I can both live for another hundred years!"

Upon hearing that Zhang Peng was hoping for his and Mu Lao's deaths, Xuan Lao was furious and planned to give Zhang Peng a few hard punches.

Zhang Peng longed for his own death, but Elder Xuan was actually indifferent.

But Zhang Peng was still hoping for Elder Mu's death, and Elder Mu's lifespan was really running out, which was the reason for Elder Xuan's great anger.

"Elder Xuan, I have a good idea that can allow Senior Zhang Peng to continue cultivating without indiscriminately killing soul beasts. I wonder if you would listen to my suggestion?"

Just then, Chen Ping stepped forward and spoke loudly.

He came up with a great idea that might just be able to recruit a Super Douluo for Shrek Academy.

　10,000 words a day, damn it, still only 8,000 words today.
　　Number of updates owed today: 13
　　I drank a liter of milk today and got an upset stomach, wasting two hours. Otherwise, I should have been able to drink 10,000 ml a day. I'll try again tomorrow.
