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

Chapter 552 Promotion to Captain
The next morning, Cai Meier personally led Chen Ping and Ning Tian on a trip to the mining area for an on-site inspection.

She was genuinely worried that something might go wrong after Chen Ping and Ning Tian left the team!

Fortunately, the mine site inspection went smoothly, and Chen Ping offered some suggestions based on the common safety standards used on construction sites.

Although the safety standards on the construction site are actually inadequate compared to actual mining operations.

However, even without proper safety training, Chen Ping's proposed improvements were far more advanced than the mineral mining industry standards of the Three Kingdoms period and even the Sun and Moon Empire.

The group's soul-hunting operation finally got back on track. Because the three Zhongli brothers logged off early, they didn't encounter the two dark gold dinosaurs, one male and one female.

As for the three wolf-axes that were suspected of possessing the Trinity Fusion Agent, they were just happened to run into by the group, and were then ruthlessly suppressed by Cai Meier. One of them became Li Yongyue's soul ring.

This time, the academy didn't miss the soul bones on the legs of the three wolf-apes. The main reason was that everyone knew the saying "dog meat is so tough that even immortals can't stand it," so the first thing they thought of after the fight was to cut off two wolf legs, and they happened to find the three wolf-apes soul bones.

Chen Ping had little interest in these three soul bones. Although these three soul bones possessed more spatial power than the dark power of their own attributes, they could instantly teleport to their companions or teleport in any direction.

This spatial teleportation ability allows the Three-Life Wolf Ape to form a pincer attack in battle, greatly improving the efficiency of encirclement.

But frankly speaking, that's about the quality of these three soul bones.

A truly powerful space-type soul bone should be like the one Xiao Wu produced, which has an invincible golden body and teleportation capabilities. It can teleport to any location it wants, so why bother with swapping locations or teleporting in a specific direction?
To actually absorb such a soul bone, frankly speaking, it might not even be worth the price drop; calling it a version trap wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Just as Cai Meier said, if these three identical soul bones, which exude a purplish-black aura and contain silver light, are fused together, the resulting new soul skill might have some value. However, if they are separated individually, their value is indeed not great.

Therefore, Cai Meier ultimately just put away the three soul bones, planning to throw them directly into the academy's treasure vault. If no one needed them in the next two years, she would gradually distribute them to the inner and outer academy's treasure appreciation events.

Regardless of the twists and turns, this Soul Hunting Operation was ultimately a very successful one.

Needless to say, Chen Ping suffered the greatest misfortune, but also reaped the greatest rewards.

One is the Hegemony Domain, which is still not fully understood through experimentation; another is the Mirage Shell, which can create illusions; and by the way, he also gained a lot of soul power and mental strength by having a big meal.

Ning Tian also obtained her third special auxiliary light, bringing a perfect end to his acquisition of the first six auxiliary amplification light soul rings.

As for Mo Xuan and Li Yongyue, they both obtained their desired spirit rings. Because Chen Ping was present, they also enjoyed several extra spirit beast feasts. On their return journey, they seemed quite content and reluctant to leave.

After all, although the food cooked by Shrek's chef was also delicious when they got back, it wasn't as varied or as tasty as Chen Ping's dishes.

However, regardless of what these people were thinking, Cai Meier still brought everyone back and breathed a sigh of relief—she didn't want to encounter any more accidents.

On the third floor of the Sea God Pavilion, Chen Ping was reporting his newly acquired domain to Mu En. Mu En was reclining on a deck chair, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

It has to be said that Chen Ping is quick-witted. After confirming that his Life Gold Carving Knife had no effect on Mu En's injuries, Chen Ping thought through all the medicines that appeared during the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, and then suddenly had a brilliant idea.

He brewed a bowl of anesthetic powder for Moon to drink, the kind that only partially numbs.

Yes, this is based on the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult has a drug called Soul-Destroying Powder, which can even be prepared by a Title Douluo by gathering his soul power. It contains many herbs that are thousands or tens of thousands of years old.

Although giving Mu En anesthesia was somewhat outrageous, Mu En drank it quite happily. The Dragon Pill was constantly ravaging his body, eroding it at every moment.

Although using anesthesia to block out physical pain was somewhat self-deceptive, and the erosion of his body by the Dragon Pill would not be slowed down in the slightest, Mu En had been able to get a few good nights of sleep lately, which was quite rare.

"In your field, just like in the game of 'Reigning Supreme,' you need to improve through battle after battle. If 'Reigning Supreme' is built upon the unwavering belief in victory, then growth in the field of 'Dominating the World' lies not in what comes after victory, but in what comes before victory."

After sensing the domineering domain released by Chen Ping, Mu En quickly gave a sharp and insightful assessment.

"Perfect timing. There are still about six months left before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament begins again. That will be a good opportunity for you to improve your skills."

"I've heard rumors about some kind of restructuring lately, and it seems quite a few sects are going to sign up. Is that true?"

Seeing Chen Ping nod, Mu En said, "Well, this year's competition should be very interesting. So, are you confident about winning the championship this time?"

Chen Ping nodded: "I'm sure I'll reach level 50 before the competition. Then, teacher, just wait for me to bring back another championship."

"When I won the championship back then, I was only level 20 or so, and the level difference between my opponents could be as high as 30 or 40 levels."

"If I go this year, I'll start as a five-ring Soul King. Even if my opponent has a higher Soul Power level, they can't be thirty or forty levels higher than me, right? Wouldn't that make me stronger than the referees?"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Mu En burst into laughter.

Yes, let alone the fact that the strongest in the past competitions was the Soul Emperor, and even the fact that there isn't a Soul Emperor in every competition, even if this competition includes the participation of sects and there are Soul Saints under the age of twenty, so what?

A seven-ring Soul Saint is only twenty levels higher than Chen Ping. Even with such a large gap, is it difficult for Chen Ping, who was twenty levels higher, to face a Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings on his own?
“Good, that sounds inspiring,” Mu En nodded. “You, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Cai Tou, that makes four. I know you’re the kind of kid who doesn’t turn back once you’ve made up your mind, so I won’t ask you a second time if you want to join the Tang Clan.”

"In that case, the captaincy of the Shrek team will be in your hands this time. You'd better recruit a few more members and bring the championship back."

Upon hearing what Moon said, Chen Ping was taken aback: "Teacher, you mean, Brother Beibei and the others?"
