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

Chapter 535 Gods are truly treasures from head to toe (4K, single page, taking a day off)
If it weren't for the Dragon God's idiotic ideas that threw the entire divine realm into chaos...

Even the number of God Kings has been reduced from fifteen to a handful. Gods' blood has been spilled all over Douluo Star. There is indeed no such thing as a Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent.

In that divine war, the gods and their artifacts were like soldiers and scrap metal in the mortal world, constantly shattering and falling in this unprecedented battle, ending up with the mortal world and the earth.

Each burst of dazzling light signifies the annihilation of another deity's soul, plunging them into the abyss forever.

Like a shooting star, it streaked across the sky and eventually disappeared into the dark night.

The golden-red divine blood was sprinkled into the sky, onto the earth, and even beyond the realm of gods.

That absurd divine war caused more than 80% of the entire divine realm to collapse, and the Dragon God who caused it all chose to escape because he was worried that if the Soul Beasts became gods and ascended to the heavens, they would be ostracized, so he simply prohibited the Soul Beast race from becoming gods.

In response, Chen Ping could only say that the Dragon God's actions had a kind of "beauty" to it, like chopping off one's head when one has a headache or one's feet when one has a foot ache.

Don't ask if I'll live after being cut; just tell me if it doesn't hurt anymore.

Chen Ping didn't know much about the specific details of that divine battle, only a general outline.

However, this was enough for him. Simply put, Douluo Star was imbued with the divine blood power brought about by that divine war by chance, which gave birth to special beings such as soul beasts and soul masters.

Ordinary people can become stronger with the help of this power; level 99 is the pinnacle.

Beyond that, the souls and bodies of ordinary people cannot bear the realm of the gods; they must rely on the power of faith to break through this constraint.

Chen Ping explained his thoughts, and the elf immediately agreed: "That's pretty much it."

"Whether human or beast, all living beings are born to accumulate wealth. They either eat grains or raw meat. Even if they only drink dew and air, they will absorb the most essential energy of heaven and earth into their bodies to a certain extent."

"As for the more powerful Soul Masters and Soul Beasts among humans and beasts, because they have the ability to absorb the free primordial energy between heaven and earth, they will accumulate more energy in their bodies, and the value of the faith power they produce will be much higher. That's pretty much it."

Chen Ping nodded. Although this explanation was pretty ridiculous, it did explain the different developmental paths of the first-generation angel and the sea god, as well as the fundamental reason why Tang San always wanted to become a Buddha in Douluo Continent.

The first generation of angels defeated the spirit beasts on land and established the Spirit Hall. It's unclear whether they obtained the spirit beast faith or not, but they definitely maxed out the human faith.

Therefore, Poseidon became the Sea God. After all, the number of sea spirit beasts was greater than the combined number of land spirit beasts and land spirit masters. Only there could he obtain enough faith power to create a first-level god position.

The reason why Tang San was able to elevate his Sea God status to the level of a demigod king in the later stages is probably the same.

Although his efficiency in reaping faith in mainland China decreased in the later stages, at least he had plenty of time.

In addition, his trick of cultivating bandits to maintain his own prestige and balancing the power of Shrek Academy and the evil soul masters ultimately allowed him to gather the faith power needed to elevate the Sea God's position to that of a demigod king.

For the first generation of angels and Poseidon, the divine position was just something to be content with; after all, it was no longer of any use once they became gods. Traveling through the vast world was the real purpose of their lives.

As for Tang San...
Just don’t say it.

After chatting with the elf for a while, Chen Ping marveled in his heart that the gods were truly a treasure trove of knowledge.

The God of Love perished in the Valley of Love and Destiny, creating a small space with extremely rich spatial power. The Ice and Fire Dragon King is dead, and can create a hot pot with two separate compartments.

The Douluo Continent was merely stained by the blood of various gods, dragon kings, and the aura of dragon gods that had splattered after the war of gods, and a special soul master system patch could be loaded onto Douluo Star.

This shows that the mysteries of dragon blood are indeed worth exploring further. Just as the elves said, every type of dragon blood potion possesses extremely powerful energy.

He hasn't given acupuncture for quite some time, so it's time to pick up his old profession again.

In the past few days, Chen Ping didn't do anything else except get together with Bei Bei and the others, and practice at the training ground every morning to prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in a few months.

Inner Academy students have a dedicated place to practice combat; they do not need to go to the Outer Academy.

The inner courtyard's training ground for actual combat is located on a hill about 100 meters high on the east side of Poseidon Island.

The tops of the hills there look as if they've been flattened; apart from the Sea God Pavilion, this is the highest point on Sea God Island.

At the top of the hillside was a flat area about 100 meters in diameter, with an irregular shape. The ground was paved with thick but uneven granite.

These granite formations are remarkably thick. They are integrated with the hill itself, making them extremely solid.

However, just as Chen Ping was warming up on the martial arts stage that morning, feeling his physical abilities improved again after opening one of the eight extraordinary meridians, his communication soul tool rang.

Ning Tian and I quickly arrived at the academy gate to wait. By this time, all the inner academy students who had come for this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had already gathered.

Cai Meier was the last to arrive. She was dressed in a simple gray cloth dress. Although she was over ninety years old, she looked only in her fifties and was very well-maintained.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Vice Dean Cai Meier clapped her hands and led everyone in a self-introduction.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo need no introduction; Chen Ping had already met them at the Sea God's Fate event. One was level 86 with the Martial Soul Moon, and the other was level 82 with the Martial Soul Golden Rope.

If Chen Ping was previously curious as to why He Caitou's Sun Martial Soul and Zhang Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul were so lacking in prestige, not to mention representing the extremes of Yang and Yin, they weren't even considered ultimate attribute Martial Souls, after arguing with the elf a few days ago, Chen Ping has come to understand a bit more.

These martial spirits are essentially products born from being partially imbued with the aura of the Dragon God.

The Sun Martial Soul and the Moon Martial Soul sound impressive, but in reality, they aren't necessarily that much different from the high-level or top-tier Martial Souls on the continent.

On the contrary, those martial souls that are both phoenixes and black tortoises may really be martial souls that have been stained with the divine blood of fallen divine beasts from the divine realm. Although their level is far inferior to that of the Dragon God, one is the blood of a divine beast and the other is just an aura. The difference between them is too great.

But jokes aside, Zhang Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul still makes her quite powerful as a Soul Master.

As the sole survivor among the group most severely harmed after Xuanzi led them to fall ill, this identity itself carries significant weight.

With that crimson 100,000-year soul ring, he'd definitely be able to hold his own against a regular Title Douluo.

Furthermore, if Zhang Lexuan were facing a situation where she was outnumbered, her combat power as the senior disciple of the inner court would be directly boosted to its peak. The moon, like the sun, once it appears, is destined to hang high above everyone's heads.

This also means that Zhang Lexuan's attacks are almost all wide-range attacks.

It's either a Moonlight Sky-Based Cannon like the White Tiger Meteor Shower, or it's simply a sweeping attack soul skill that can indiscriminately illuminate everything below.

Besides these two acquaintances, Chen Ping also met two other Soul Masters who planned to acquire Soul Rings: Li Yongyue, an Agility-type Battle Soul King at level 60.

As for the other reason, it was one of the reasons why Chen Ping specifically wanted to come along.

Mo Xuan, a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor, possesses a Martial Soul Auxiliary Aura. Each ring upgrade increases the auxiliary range by one kilometer, and upon reaching the Title Douluo level, it can cover a ten-kilometer battlefield, with no limit on the number of participants!
This is the fundamental reason why Chen Ping wanted to meet this legendary support soul master. Ten kilometers is enough to fit several regiments, even if it were spread out for positional warfare or a blocking battle!
With his own strength, he can enhance and provide amplification to tens of thousands of well-trained Soul Masters and Soul Instructors. This is a treasure that may change the course of the battle in the future.

Therefore, it's no wonder that when Mo Xuan introduced himself, he said he was a ranged, all-around support-type battle spirit king.

This kind of guy, who seems to be born for war, is even more abstract than Yao Haoxuan, who buffs people with his battle cry.

"My name is Chen Ping, a level 49 offensive Soul Master. I am here with the team to help you find and hunt Soul Beasts. No matter what kind of Soul Beast you two seniors need, I can find several of their usual locations."

Chen Ping spoke very politely and did not deliberately reveal anything. Once they reached the vicinity of the mining area, he would ask Cai Meier or Zhang Lexuan to take him away from the group for a walk. However, these were confidential matters. It was fine to talk about them with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, but it was not convenient to talk about them casually outside.

So he simply chose to do the same thing as Huo Yuhao in the previous competition. Huo Yuhao acted as the team doctor in that competition, and this time he helped by acting as the "mischievous map".

However, his name is now so well-known that even though Chen Ping's self-introduction was very simple, it still caught Mo Xuan's eye.

"Is Chen Ping the same Chen Ping from the Sea God's Fate event a couple of days ago?"

As he spoke, Mo Xuan extended his hand to Chen Ping, shook it, and said, "Back then, it was you who saved Brother Gongyang and Brother Yao, right? They always talked about you. Now I've finally met you in person."

"Especially Yao Ge, who used to be my roommate. For the first few days after he came back from the competition, he kept talking about you, saying how he and you had an incredibly awesome team fight back then, which made the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy run away in a panic."

Chen Ping hadn't expected that before he could even think of a topic to talk about with Mo Xuan, the other party would approach him first.

As for what the other party said, Chen Ping couldn't help but chuckle. The reason he was able to achieve such an exaggerated effect was indeed due to Ning Tian's final assistance and Yao Haoxuan's gravity control that greatly increased the speed of the falling stick.

As for why these three people are so familiar with each other, Chen Ping guessed that it might be because whether it is Mo Xuan, Gongyang Mo, or Yao Haoxuan, they all have some kind of support-type soul master characteristics.

"Senior Mo Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard about your Aura Martial Soul many times. The speed at which ordinary soul skills consume soul power is terrifying, but the range is frighteningly large. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of people you can assist."

Although Chen Ping was simply stating the truth, he clearly paid great attention to his manner of speaking. No matter how many people were assisting him, it didn't sound as exciting as saying "theoretically, there is no limit to the number of people who can assist"!
For a moment, Mo Xuan felt a sense of regret for not having met Chen Ping sooner.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ning Tian introduced his martial soul and soul power level.

When Mo Xuan and Li Yongyue heard that Ning Tiancai was only seventeen years old and was already aiming to obtain his sixth spirit ring, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Zhang Lexuan said, "Alright, everyone has finished introducing themselves. I'll just briefly assign our formations after entering the Star Dou Great Forest."

"In this operation, Dean Cai will only accompany us as a backup. If we encounter any problems along the way, we will have to solve most of them ourselves."

"I'll lead the way, with Li Yongyue and Chen Ping on the left and right flanks respectively. Ning Tian and Mo Xuan will provide support in the middle of the group, and Ruoruo will bring up the rear at the end."

“Ning Tian, ​​you don’t need to worry about any conflict between your amplification and Mo Xuan’s aura support. Besides the huge support range that Chen Ping just mentioned, the most important thing about Mo Xuan’s amplification is that it can be stacked with other Soul Masters to provide support.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's surprise at Mo Xuan increased even more.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was born to assist powerful Soul Masters, and like a shadow, the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow, and the stronger the Soul Master being assisted, the more the effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be highlighted, then Mo Xuan was born to fight large-scale battles.

Once he reaches the level of a Title Douluo, his effect on the entire battle group is equivalent to nine fixed buffs that can be permanently active during battle.

This might not be very intuitive, but the Sun Moon Empire only has five of the most powerful Soul Master Corps, which are known as the Guardians of the Nation. The Soul Masters in these Corps are the elite of the elite, and the Soul Tools they use are all top-of-the-line.

However, if Mo Xuan, a Title Douluo-level expert, were present, within a ten-kilometer radius, he could amplify the five second-tier Soul Master Corps within the Sun Moon Empire to the point where they could exchange blows with the five Guardian Hands.

If it's a top-tier Soul Master Corps, their performance after amplification might even surpass that of the Guardian Hand.

Ning Tian's speculations were all correct, and Chen Ping was even certain that the academy thought the same way; otherwise, the original work would not have indicated that the other party could enter the Sea God Pavilion's assessment sequence after reaching the eighth ring.

The funniest part is that although Shrek Academy has already drawn Mo Xuan, a top-tier Soul Master Corps power-boosting card, Shrek Academy doesn't actually have a Soul Master Corps, at least not yet.

After getting to know each other a little, the group set up their formation according to Zhang Lexuan's instructions and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, no one particularly showed off their speed, and under Zhang Lexuan's deliberate control, the formation remained perfectly intact.

These inner court students were all quite familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, having visited it many times before. They rarely interacted with each other on the way, simply hurrying on their way.

When they entered the Soul Beast Forest this time, Chen Ping finally rediscovered the feeling he had when Du Weilun and Shi Xing took him out to hunt souls years ago.

Without cautiously exploring or seeking out animal trails to conserve energy, they simply moved forward at full speed.

A layer of shimmering white light emanated from Zhang Lexuan, and wherever she passed, the bushes on the ground cleared a path on their own.

The powerful aura emanating from her was so strong that even low-level soul beasts dared not approach her.

For a moment, Chen Ping even felt a thrill, as if he had accidentally gotten into Brother Gua's car team.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After being led to such a carefree soul hunt, he felt that he could no longer adapt to his previous steady and methodical approach to soul hunting.
