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

Chapter 582 New Challenges
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao also spoke up: "Don't have any other thoughts, and don't try to spy on us. This is just a warning from my older brother, understand?"

"I understand everything, I understand." Chen An quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed respectfully.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "You must keep our brotherly visit here a strict secret. You must not reveal it to anyone."

"Coming to the competition this time is our own decision. We're just betting money for fun, and the main goal is to get some rare metals to use. Of course, it might also help you make some money. Mutual benefit is the only way to go in the long run, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen An hurriedly agreed.

At this moment, Chen An had completely understood the origins of Chen Ping and the other person.

No wonder these two were able to graduate from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and enjoy enormous wealth; it turns out they were trained there.

Unlike Nana, who only realized the intricate connections between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the royal family, and the Holy Spirit Cult when she was imprisoned.

As the head of a faction in the Mingdu underworld, he had experienced many things, and even if he only guessed, he could find the Holy Spirit Cult, which was hidden in a darker place than darkness itself.

Moreover, the name Xishui Alliance itself speaks volumes. Chen An may not be aware of it, but one thing is certain: Xishui Alliance is the tentacles through which the Holy Spirit Cult indirectly controls the underworld.

"Alright, don't be so nervous. The rumors about us from the outside world are too exaggerated. In reality, we treat our own people very well. We wouldn't go so far as to pull out other people's souls and turn them into vengeful spirits. Dead people are never as useful as living people, don't you agree?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had already played the bad cop, Chen Ping naturally switched to playing the good cop, comforting Chen An with a smile.

However, it was quite obvious that when Chen An heard Chen Ping start by talking about how to extract people's souls and turn them into vengeful spirits, he trembled even more violently.

Sure enough, these two really did come from that place, no wonder!
For a moment, Chen An was incredibly conflicted. The backgrounds of these two were truly frightening, but they were also incredibly generous with the reward money, not even blinking an eye!

If he were truly fortunate enough to serve these two gentlemen well, he probably wouldn't need to continue striving for the rest of his life; he could simply retire and enjoy his old age.

"Next time we meet, I'll bring you some gifts that you'll find more interesting. It's not impossible for you to become one of us. Of course, there will be some price to pay, but the rewards will be even greater."

Chen An was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee beside Chen Ping, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

“I’ll come to you again before the first round. Please compile a list of the rare metal rewards for each round. Also, give me a list of the bets.”

"Yes."

Chen Ping waved his hand before leaving with Huo Yuhao. Chen An personally saw them off, escorting them all the way to the elevator.

After leaving the Qingse Hotel, the two slowly disappeared into the night. They arrived at a private room in the Mingyue Hotel, where Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Chen Ping a thumbs-up with admiration.

"Brother Chen, how come you're acting so convincingly? It's like you've been a rich kid who's been raised on money since you were a child."

"When I saw you take that 500,000 gold soul coin card to bet on an odd number without even blinking, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest."

At this point, Huo Yuhao poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp, finally relaxing a little.

"That's easy. There are so many ready-made examples out there; just follow them and learn." Hearing this, Huo Yuhao scratched his head: "Brother Chen, you mean Sister-in-law Ning Tian?"

Chen Ping rolled his eyes: "Of course it's Wang Dong. Ning Tian is a rich woman, not a rich young master. Of course she should learn from Wang Dong."

"Judging from Wang Dong's behavior when he bought the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone for 9.5 million gold soul coins, it was just like buying a cabbage from a street vendor. If you learn half of that, you'll be able to fool outsiders."

What are you two saying behind my back?

Just then, Wang Dong'er, with wet hair, clearly having just washed her hair, came out with an unfriendly expression.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile. He had made a mistake; Wang Dong'er was also a young woman. This girl had been pretending to be a man for six years, and he had gotten used to it and hadn't realized it yet.

The terrifying scene he used to scare Chen An was actually accomplished by him and Huo Yuhao working together.

Chen Ping was responsible for using mirage energy to condense a large area of ​​gray environment and fog that looked like an infernal hell in Chen An's eyes, while Huo Yuhao used his precise mental control to condense various undead life forms in the fog using mimicry soul skills.

Finally, Chen Ping only needed to release a little bit of the terrifying aura of the undead in the undead demiplane, and his identity as the mysterious King of the Undead was established.

This feeling of being dragged into a strange world without Chen An being able to sense the activation process or any trace of it is more effective than Chen Ping actually summoning a few real undead creatures.

If the punishments are unknown, then the power is unpredictable, and the people will fear their superiors. Preserving a degree of mystery and letting Chen An imagine just how powerful the two of them are is more effective than actually revealing their methods.

"I didn't say anything bad about you. I'm just saying you're going to fight tomorrow."

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Wang Dong'er excitedly leaned closer, her big blue-pink eyes fluttering with eyelashes: "Really? It's my turn?"

But then, a hint of hesitation crept into Wang Dong'er's expression: "If I can't pull off a seven-kill streak, you two can't blame me, can you?"

"Although I am a six-ring Soul Emperor like Brother He Caitou, I am not as strong as you monsters. I can probably take on three or four people by myself, but to defeat seven people at once, I would have to face weak teams with few Soul Kings."

"Wang Dong, it will be quite difficult for you to defeat seven opponents in one go this time."

Just then, Huo Yuhao spoke up. He still habitually called Wang Dong'er "Wang Dong," and Wang Dong'er didn't seem to mind.

Dude, if she were to keep calling him "Dong'er" all the time, she'd feel uncomfortable.

"What, how strong is our opponent this time? Even Yuhao, you have so little confidence in me?"

Wang Dong'er's competitive spirit was instantly ignited: "No matter what, I have a transcendent spirit ring and twin martial souls. My combat power can't be considered weak, right?"

"Although my Thousand Refined Battle Armor has only just been customized and hasn't been put into use yet, unless all seven of my opponents are Soul Kings, I might not be unable to defeat them all at once, right?"
