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

Chapter 604 Soul-Guided Mechanical Arm Sleeve
After scanning the area, Chen Ping stopped paying attention to his opponent's performance. He gestured with his right hand toward the rare metal on the side of the soul tool making table, and a piece of rare metal weighing one kilogram and dark red in color flew toward him.

As soon as the rare metal flew over, a scorching heat immediately hit us.

This is Flaming Iron. It's an extremely rare metal, found only deep within volcanoes. Among these thirty-two rare metals, it ranks among the top five in value.

Today, Xishui Alliance provided so many rare metals, and Chen An is no longer the chief referee. In order not to make his presence too obvious, Chen Ping naturally couldn't just take everything in one go.

Therefore, when making soul tools, he naturally chose to use more precious and rare metals.

Although the Flame Demon Gauntlets that Xiao Hongchen took out during his battle with Huo Yuhao a few days ago did not show their true power until the end, they did provide Chen Ping with inspiration, making him think about what kind of soul tool would be most suitable for him under this competition format.

Although Chen Ping had previously said after hearing the competition rules that he could easily make his opponents cry for their mothers by simply hammering a metal ingot into a baseball bat, and admitted that the baseball bat in his hand was a level nine soul tool, and that he was ashamed of his own inferiority, there were still three referees watching him in the competition. If he really just whittled out a metal rod, he definitely wouldn't be able to pass the referees' test.

So after careful consideration, Chen Ping figured out what kind of soul tool would be most suitable for him, and began to quickly cut the rare metal in his hand into different small pieces and start processing it at lightning speed.

Although the Soul-Guided Machining Machine Tool provided by Xishui Alliance was not as good as the machining machine tool of Mingdetang and its functions were much simpler, it was obviously of the same lineage. Chen Ping was naturally very skilled at using it and could even process parts with several modules at the same time in an orderly manner.

Therefore, Chen Ping's skillful movements immediately drew praise from the three Soul Master referees who were originally watching the other Soul Masters.

"These must be students from Mingde Hall. Their movements in processing rare metals are truly a pleasure to watch."

A referee, witnessing this, instinctively offered a word of praise.

The other two judges, who had been focused on the three people using the engraving knife to create their own soul tools, couldn't help but nod subconsciously when they saw Chen Ping's hands flying across the processing bed.

Powerful Soul Masters generally disdain using Soul Guidance Processing Beds, instead using their own carving knives to process rare metals. Besides their confidence, another reason is that they have never used the kind of processing bed in Mingde Hall that can even assist in the production of level seven Soul Guidance Devices.

Just like a powerful figure in a fantasy story who can immediately discern the backgrounds of young characters from various sects as they compete, Chen Ping's incredibly skillful operation of the machining bed, without ever having used a carving knife, instantly revealed the fact that he had definitely received advanced training at Mingde Hall.

At this moment, Number 96 and Number 98 also clearly noticed this, and their eyes showed more apprehension towards Chen Ping.

Researchers from Mingde Hall, if they really look up to their mentors, it's fine if their mentors are level eight, but if their mentors are level nine soul masters like their masters, then they're not so easy to mess with.

This was also Chen Ping's deliberate act. The Soul Master badge of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can be forged, but the series of actions performed by using the Soul Guidance Processing Bed year-round cannot be demonstrated without being thoroughly immersed in it.

This is also a kind of curse of knowledge. Just like a person who understands math can't copy a ball's rotation from one revolution to a complete rotation when copying homework, or a chain smoker can't find the opening in a cigarette box for a long time, let alone tear the cigarette box to pieces. It is part of what Chen Ping deliberately revealed.

He possesses the abilities of an evil soul master, and has also studied at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and served as a researcher at the Mingde Hall. Go ahead and investigate him. If you're so capable, have Jing Hongchen, who is currently overwhelmed with worries because his grandson lost the competition, personally investigate the information for you.

Soon, the components Chen Ping made, each roughly one cubic meter in size, gradually took shape. What were they? They looked like the joints of a human hand. Yes, what Chen Ping made were indeed the joints of a human hand. To be precise, they were hollowed-out finger sleeves, connected by simple hinge joints and ball joints, flexible and lightweight.

In no time, Chen Ping put the assembled mechanical gloves aside and began to make the arm.

This was Chen Ping's favorite part of the competition. Although the organizers had said from the beginning that only one soul tool could be made, they did not define the concept of a soul tool.

Therefore, if Chen Ping simply makes a soul cannon or a melee soul tool in a step-by-step manner, then that's really all there is to it. But what if the soul tool he makes is not easy to define as a single item?

In just over ten minutes, Chen Ping's table was piled high with all sorts of parts, making the three referees present break out in a cold sweat when they saw it.

From what they could see, besides the metal gauntlets they had seen before, Chen Ping's table now contained a Soul Guidance Potential Energy Burst Component, a Flame Propulsion Component, a Bomb Launching Component, a blade blank for common melee Soul Guidance Devices, and a thermal cutting line made of Star Ink Silver that only a few Soul Guidance Masters would make.

This guy, how many soul tools are he going to make? This doesn't seem right!
Time passed second by second, and the first person to complete the creation of the soul tool was none other than Soul Master No. 96, who took exactly one hour.

He glanced indifferently at the others who were busy at work, and then handed over his work.

That was a level 5 soul tool.

Huo Yuhao and Number 98 finished making their devices around the same time, only one step behind Number 96. Both of them made Level 5 Soul Tools.

Most of the Soul Masters were completed one after another after an hour and a half.

This is a competition, not a competition where everyone has to submit their best work.

With limited time, the best approach is to create the strongest soul tool you can within that timeframe.

The tall building was completed long ago, but he didn't rush to submit it. Instead, he looked at Chen Ping across from him, becoming more and more alarmed, and his expression became increasingly tense.

Chen Ping had already completed his work a little over an hour and a half earlier; what followed was simply him quickly assembling the soul tool components on his table.

Therefore, almost right in front of Gao Dalu, Chen Ping stuffed all the equipment components, any one of which could be used as a core component of a soul tool, into the sleeve of the soul-guided mechanical arm.

Soon, after checking and finding no problems, Chen Ping put his entire left hand into the sleeve, clenched his fist, and looked at the tall building in high spirits after confirming that there were no issues.

"Perfect timing, shall we go submit our work together?"
