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

Chapter 560 One Hundred Days of Meditation
However, Elder Xuan quickly realized that he was not seeing things, because he could clearly see that dust had settled on Chen Ping's body.

Even inside the Sea God Pavilion and the Golden Ancient Tree, Chen Ping's body was still covered in a thin layer of dust from remaining motionless for so long.

Soon, the dust on Chen Ping's body began to slide off in large quantities, revealing his skin that shimmered with a strange pale golden light.

A soft hum rang out, and a faint golden hue began to appear on Chen Ping's exposed skin.

Then, the gold color became more and more obvious, and the light spread outward, with each ray of golden light seemingly driving away the filth on its body.

With a snap, time seemed to stand still for a moment. The remaining filth on Chen Ping's body sprang up instantly, revealing his near-perfect physique, and a powerful surge of energy swept out.

Amidst that golden light, the figure sitting on the ground slowly stood up, stretching its arms powerfully to both sides of its body.

A series of clanging sounds came from his body, like his bones were cracking. Yes, they were clanging, as if his whole body was stretching outwards.

As his body stretched to its limit, suddenly, a thunderous roar, like the cry of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, exploded from Chen Ping's body, and Chen Ping also took the opportunity to let out a long howl.

"Drink up!"

A breath of foul air shot out from Chen Ping's mouth as a streak of crimson light, traveling a full three feet before slowly dissipating.

With Chen Ping's long roar, five spirit rings rose one after another from beneath his feet, spreading around his body.

Yellow, purple, black, gold, and red—the five neatly arranged spirit rings evoked an incredibly moving feeling.

In that instant, Chen Ping even had the illusion that he was omnipotent, and at the same time he felt his two new 100,000-year soul skills - Poison Demon Dance and Earth Demon Cleave!

The pain that nearly tore him apart was not in vain; the fifth-ranked, blood-red soul ring was the best reward.

Although he only has five rings, he already possesses ten powerful soul skills.

These are the Insect Glaives: Frostbite Explosion, Venomous Toxin, Sandblasting, Cold Seal, and Poison Dance.

And those belonging to the Beast Staff: Accumulate Power, Skyward Strike, Shadow Slash, Snowfall, Earth Demon Cleave!

Chen Ping slowly raised his right hand, and the newly appeared fifth spirit ring slowly rose under the guidance of his palm. As it rose, it enlarged and instantly transformed into a blood-red light shield that completely enveloped Chen Ping's body.

As the red light quietly seeped in, Chen Ping's body instantly changed. In the fusion of that red light, his entire body exuded the powerful pressure unique to a 100,000-year-old soul ring.

He might be able to unleash an even more powerful Beast King aura when he borrows the power of the Snow Emperor's Soul Ring, but this kind of 100,000-year Soul Ring aura, which belongs only to him, can only be fully displayed by Chen Ping with his fifth Soul Ring.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Even the seasoned Elder Xuan couldn't help but stand up abruptly and applaud Chen Ping in celebration.

A level 50 Soul King with a 100,000-year Soul Ring! An unprecedented peerless Soul King!

"Elder Xuan, have I been in meditation for a long time?"

After a long howl, Chen Ping felt completely weak, and the faint golden color on his body disappeared at that moment. He struggled to stand up from the floor, but he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

"Not bad, not bad, about a hundred days, at least you didn't miss the competition." Elder Xuan said with a smile, "Based on the ancient book left by that senior Bai Chenxiang, Elder Mu and I both guessed that you would probably be in meditation for about half a year this time. After all, even Tang San of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, who absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring at the seventh level, still meditated for a full hundred days."

"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, in just over a hundred days. You didn't miss a single match. That's good, it saves me the trouble of selecting another starting player and maybe even choosing a captain for your team."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment: "More than a hundred days? I've been in meditation for more than a hundred days?"

Seeing Elder Xuan nod, Chen Ping still couldn't quite believe it. To him, it seemed like only after the intense pain subsided, a warm current spread throughout his body and gradually dissipated. He regained consciousness after such a simple process.

But this simple process took him nearly four months to complete.

A wry smile appeared on his face. "Oh dear, I've been neglecting so many things to keep an eye on. What if something goes wrong? The competition is just around the corner, and I need to clean up this mess first."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan said with some helplessness, "What mess do you have? You have a bunch of arrogant and fierce soldiers under your command. I don't know why those Soul Masters who start at level four are so willing to follow you and risk their lives for your kid. These past few months..."

After Elder Xuan's explanation, Chen Ping finally managed to understand what had happened during the more than one hundred days he had been in meditation. He couldn't help but marvel at how efficient Nana and the others were, allowing him to truly be a hands-off manager. They hadn't caused any trouble even after being out of the public eye for so long!
A single meditation session lasting over a hundred days allowed him to absorb a divinely bestowed soul ring and leap to a level close to level 55, a remarkable improvement for Chen Ping.

The only thing that Chen Ping felt a little regretful about was that, because of all this trouble, his original plan to visit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had to be postponed until after the competition.

After all, he doesn't have much time left now. After he wakes up, he needs to sort out the situation he's been away for the past few months and also get to know his teammates in the competition, especially the qualifiers who he wasn't familiar with before.

Therefore, Chen Ping will wait a while longer for those precious immortal items within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye that can greatly enhance his cultivation talent without any side effects, and help him level up several more times like pulling up a scallion from dry land.

half a month later.

Early morning, at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

The Shrek team, who will represent the Sun Moon Empire in the competition, have gathered here, lightly equipped.

In addition, there was also a group from the Tang Clan, including Tang Ya. They were also well-equipped this time, with a configuration of four Soul Emperors and three Soul Kings, which made them glance at Chen Ping from time to time.

Friends are friends, and competitions are competitions. If given the chance, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and anyone else would definitely want to take first place. If we include Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, then there's even less to say.

Chen Ping completely ignored the gazes directed at him, and even felt a little amused.

Yes, the Tang Sect team is very strong on paper this time, even stronger than their Shrek Academy main team.

So far, they only have one high-level Soul Emperor, He Caitou, while Wang Dong and Ning Tian are just over level 60, and the remaining four are all Soul Kings.

Looking at it this way, they are indeed somewhat inferior in terms of level.

However, in their lineup, there are three Soul Masters who are at least at the seventh level, three and a half Soul Masters with twin Martial Souls, one top-tier support Soul Master on the continent with three Soul Rings that are all unconventional, and a Destroyer King with attack power that rivals that of a Soul Saint with external bones.

This lineup is quite rare even among the starting teams in previous seasons.

Tang Ya wanted to take advantage of the opportunity given by the academy to form a group and become famous overnight, which was a good idea.

However, it would be wishful thinking to try to determine which seven of the fourteen Shrek Academy alumni from the two teams are the true "orthodox" members.
