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

Chapter 477 Blood Self-Help
"Hmph, nonsense! If such a method truly existed, would I not have thought of it? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue while spouting such boastful words!"

When Zhang Peng saw that it wasn't Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe speaking, but a young man who looked to be under twenty, he immediately started grumbling.

However, Zhang Peng didn't say anything too harsh, just in case what Chen Ping said was true.

As for the other reason, it was naturally because Zhang Peng did not expect that it was not Yan Shaozhe or Qian Duoduo who came to beat him. The beating that Elder Xuan gave him just now had really made him lose his spirit, and he needed to take a break.

Despite being looked down upon by Zhang Peng, Chen Ping didn't show any resentment on his face.

Since he had uttered such shocking words, he naturally had to be prepared to be questioned, which Chen Ping was not surprised by.

"It seems that you haven't been paying much attention to the Shrek Academy competitions lately. In our academy's competitions recently, there is a support-type Soul Master who has emerged as a dark horse, winning battle after battle, and his points have already reached the top ten of the outer academy."

Actually, Zhang Peng had never heard this before, and even Chen Ping had only heard it from Yan Shaozhe yesterday while resting in Maple Leaf City.

After obtaining the Silver Moon Wolf King's soul spirit, Ning Tian basically won more battles than she lost. Her own auxiliary abilities and soul guide exoskeleton, combined with the Silver Moon Wolf King, made her virtually invincible in Soul King-level battles.

In addition, she had been a support-type Soul Master for the past few years, so she didn't need to participate in the Soul Battle Tournament after the third year. As long as she didn't suffer too many consecutive losses, she could naturally improve her ranking in just a few matches.

This was probably one of the surprises Ning Tian had planned to prepare for him, but Yan Shaozhe let it slip without knowing it.

Since Chen Ping participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition in his second year, he has basically been attending Mu En's small group classes, so he naturally doesn't know the specific requirements for the Soul Battle Assessment for Shrek Academy Soul Masters after the third year.

The only information that allowed Chen Ping to learn about the need for Soul Fighting among senior students was probably the time when Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi went to the Soul Fighting Arena in the original work. However, apart from Elder Xuan leading people to select reserve team members, Chen Ping seemed to have never been there to compete.

The reason is simple: Shrek Academy's Soul Arena is a money pit, they're desperate for cash. They charge ten gold soul coins for a single match. Chen Ping was so poor back then, how could he possibly be so extravagant?

Regardless, this intelligence inadvertently became an excuse Chen Ping could use. It was perfect for fooling Zhang Peng.

"What the hell are you talking about? A support class?"

As Zhang Peng was speaking, he suddenly realized that Chen Ping's words seemed a bit inappropriate, and retracted the first half of his statement.

"Alas, it seems that Senior Zhang Peng is not interested in this matter. What a pity."

Chen Ping sighed and shook his head: "I originally wanted to talk to Senior Zhang Peng about how support-type Soul Masters can summon Soul Spirits to fight after obtaining Soul Spirits, and how Soul Spirits can command their subordinate Soul Beasts because they retain intelligence."

“I remember there is a kind of soul beast in the Star Dou Forest called the Six-Winged Colorless Mosquito. The strongest Six-Winged Colorless Mosquito in the group is usually a female, and she usually has hundreds or thousands of small mosquitoes with varying cultivation levels under her command. When the Six-Winged Colorless Mosquito gives an order, hundreds or thousands of small mosquitoes can go out and bring back an unknown amount of beast blood.”

"These six-winged mosquitoes have extremely strong stealth abilities. When their blood-sucking mouthparts pierce the skin of a soul beast, they also release a strong local paralysis effect. Even soul beasts with more than 50,000 years of cultivation rarely discover that these are special soul beasts whose stealth abilities are maxed out just to suck a few mouthfuls of blood."

"These kinds of spirit beasts are usually the first choice for flying and agile attack-type spirit masters. The spirit rings they produce will most likely produce an attack spirit skill with paralysis and piercing effects, or a stealth spirit skill with invisibility and silence." "If you are lucky enough to find a six-winged colorless mosquito mother whose lifespan is about to end as your spirit spirit, perhaps you won't have to worry about how much beast blood you can get before you start your cultivation every day, and you can also do less killing."

"But since you're not interested, then forget it. Anyway, you're only messing with the soul beasts of the Sun Moon Empire, so it doesn't matter."

Chen Ping said this with a smile, but in reality, he was somewhat skeptical.

First of all, although in the original work Huo Yuhao did say that the main targets for selecting soul spirits were those soul beasts that were seriously injured and nearing the end of their lifespan.

But are there really soul beasts that don't live to be 100,000 years old? Even Xiao Wu, that Soft Bone Rabbit, can live to be 100,000 years old!
Secondly, Zhang Peng has already reached the ninth ring.

He wanted to obtain the soul spirit, and he needed to figure out how Tang San removed his own soul ring and returned it to Xiao Wu when he resurrected her.

Tang San's move of dismantling his low-level spirit ring and replacing it with a high-level one is indeed well-founded.

It can only be said that if Zhang Peng, a ready-made Super Douluo, wasn't so tempting, and if Tang Ya hadn't entered the inner sect by taking medicine and was busy cultivating, and if Ma Xiaotao hadn't been cut by the Sword of Judgment and couldn't be kidnapped by the Holy Spirit Cult, Chen Ping really wouldn't have bothered to think about Zhang Peng.

Since the two informants who were practically offered up in the original story failed to join the Holy Spirit Cult, Chen Ping naturally wanted to try his luck. Even if he couldn't win them over, it would be good to see if he could get some information about the Holy Spirit Cult out of Zhang Peng later.

"Oh no, wait a minute."

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Peng's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Hunting soul beasts and cultivating with their blood sounds pretty cool, but if you can only cultivate by hunting soul beasts, then it's not so cool.

Over the past few decades, due to his cultivation issues, he has indeed caused a lot of harm to the soul beasts of the Sun Moon Empire. Even so, it is now becoming increasingly difficult for him to find soul beasts to cultivate with.

The blood of beasts with a cultivation level below ten thousand years, or even just over ten thousand years, has a negligible effect on his cultivation improvement. And the number of high-age soul beasts in a soul beast forest is not particularly large to begin with, and when hunting them, it is easy to be bitten twice by the opponent if they are not careful.

As for the blood of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it would be a great tonic for him, but unless he was prepared to be hunted down by the Star Dou Forest and Shrek Academy, he would not dare to do such a thing again.
As for his past habit of only absorbing the heart blood of soul beasts, that was due to his youthful arrogance. Now, he would rather suck out any blood from between his bones than waste it, let alone heart blood.

If he could really create some kind of soul spirit like Chen Ping said, even if secretly absorbing the blood of a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be risky, absorbing the blood of a high-age soul beast of 80,000 or 90,000 years would be fine too.

This is better than killing a soul beast just for a sip of blood, right?

Then he won't need to work for the Holy Spirit Cult anymore. He can just travel around the continent, spending ten days or half a month in each Soul Beast Forest before leaving. He'll never have to worry about high-level beast blood again. Wouldn't that be great?
