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

Chapter 611 Top Ten on the List, The Deadly Blade Devouring Spirit
Soul-Devouring Blade?

Moreover, it's a Soul-Devouring Blade that can be purified of the death curse power within at any time?

For a moment, not only were the referees and No. 96 and No. 98 shocked, but even the VIPs in the VIP treasure chest on the high platform were slightly speechless.

"This kid actually possesses the ability to remove death curses at will, yet he doesn't know who his elders are in my Holy Cult?"

In the VIP room, an elder spoke with some curiosity.

Another elder, upon hearing this, also spoke with some surprise: "I have also heard of the ferocity of this Soul Devouring Blade. The curse power on it is really troublesome. It can kill ordinary soul masters, and evil soul masters will not hesitate to kill them if they hold it in their hands."

“I have always been worried that this Soul-Devouring Blade was actually dropped by Shrek Academy to lure Holy Cult Soul Masters into a trap. Although I have heard of this carving knife being auctioned off in various auction houses over the years, I have never dared to make a trip to Douluo Continent to acquire it.”

Just then, a female Soul Master sitting between the two elders spoke up: "What you did was right. The power of the Death Curse is a Holy Church power second only to the power of Soul Purification. Even if you don't die after obtaining it, you will be plagued by misfortune."

"Moreover, didn't this Soul-Devouring Blade eventually come to the Sun and Moon Continent after going around in circles? It even brought us a promising talent who was born with the power of the Death Curse. How wonderful."

After saying the last two words, the female Soul Master sitting in the middle seemed to realize something, said no more, and continued to look at the duel below.

"what?"

At this moment, an uncontrollable greed suddenly burst forth in Number Ninety-Eight's eyes: the Soul-Devouring Blade that could remove the death curse from it?

At this moment, not only did Number Ninety-Eight's eyes instantly flash with greed, but all the Soul Masters present who understood the significance of this carving knife subconsciously swallowed.

A sword burdened with a death curse, whose users, except for its creator, would die instantly upon use, practically risking their own lives to gain the power of the carving blade, could still occupy the last place on the list of carving blades. If such a carving blade were to truly remove the curse from its body, how could it possibly be stopped at merely the twentieth place?

When judging the level of the blood-coagulated carving knife that Gao Louda possessed, which was a family heirloom, no one took the bloodline factor into account. They simply evaluated the knife based on its best performance and ranked it in the thirties.

When Chen Ping was evaluating the Soul-Devouring Blade, he actually took into account the risk that it might kill someone if used for a while. Even so, the carving knife was still on the list.

Therefore, the judges present quickly made a prediction about the grade of Chen Ping's engraving knife. After removing the curse power on it, it was a top-grade engraving knife that was guaranteed to be in the top ten or even the top ten!

At this moment, everyone present knew that the carving knife in Chen Ping's hand was a valuable treasure.

However, just as Chen Ping said earlier, it's one thing for a Dark Azure Dragon, which ranks lower, to gamble against the cursed Soul-Devouring Blade, but if it weren't cursed, how could a Dark Azure Dragon be qualified to gamble against it?

"In addition to the Dark Azure Dragon, I'll add another level eight long-range soul tool for you, how about the Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannon? Although it can only be used once a day, its direct burst power can reach the full force of a level ninety-five Super Douluo's attack."

"This kind of equipment is just as good as a regular level nine soul tool. How about that, is that enough?"

Number Ninety-Eight's words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the nearby Soul Masters. An eighth-level long-range Soul Tool capable of unleashing the full power of a level ninety-five Super Douluo, even if it could only be used once a day, was already an equipment that was infinitely close to a level nine Soul Tool.

"Do you think you can fool people? The level eight soul tool, the Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannon, is a common item. It appeared at the Star Emperor Auction five years ago and only sold for seven million gold soul coins. Although it is powerful, it can only attack stationary targets. What use is this kind of garbage to me?"

Number Ninety-Eight was clearly surprised that Chen Ping knew so much about the Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannon. He wasn't fooled by the fact that the Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannon's direct burst of power was enough to reach the full force of a level 95 Super Douluo's attack. He could only grit his teeth and say, "You're quite the expert. In that case, what do you want?" "I need you to add another defensive soul tool, a level nine one, and it must be a mental type defensive soul tool. It can be either an actively activated or passively triggered defensive soul tool."

While toying with the Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand, Chen Ping slowly and deliberately stated his conditions.

"you!"

Number 98's face immediately turned a deep liver color.

A level nine defensive soul tool is a life-saving artifact that is far more expensive to manufacture than level nine melee or ranged soul tools.

Even his master didn't have many, let alone the level nine mental defense soul tool that Chen Ping wanted, which was even rarer.

"Can't you come up with anything? You poor wretch, you have nothing, and you still have the nerve to bet like others?"

Chen Ping chuckled and put away his Soul-Devouring Blade. Huo Yuhao and Chen Ping, on the other hand, were quite clear about what Chen Ping wanted to do because they had their mental detection activated. Without saying a word, they slammed their standard carving knives on the table.

"I'm betting, I'm wagering a standard-issue engraving knife!"

After shouting those two sentences, Huo Yuhao immediately put away his standard carving knife and pretended that nothing had happened, whistling.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's behavior was undoubtedly imitating the action of Number 98 slamming his Dark Azure Dragon on the table and betting against Chen Ping, but in the end, he could not produce the corresponding amount of money to wager.

In an instant, Number Ninety-Eight's face turned ashen. A profound sense of humiliation, coupled with the rage that a top-tier engraving knife was so close yet he couldn't even touch it, surged to the top of his head.

"Brother, can I borrow your carving knife for a moment?"

Number 98's eyes were already red. He turned his head to look at Number 96, causing Number 96 to frown.

Although he was well aware of Number Ninety-Eight's plan and knew that if the bet succeeded, it would be like getting a free treasure, he still had some worries.

"Mr. Host, please hurry up and finish the remaining group assignments, this is no fun."

Chen Ping waved his hand dismissively, seemingly not caring at all about the bet.

He didn't give anything, but he got a good beating from the troublemaker he encountered. It seemed like a sure-fire way to make money.

Soon, the remaining two matches were drawn, with Huo Yuhao, number 66, facing off against number 96!
As for the other group, it was just a pure clash of noobs, which relieved the two of them.

Rather than facing the Chen brothers or the No. 90 brothers, they felt that the opponent they had drawn was barely a match for them.

If they win the competition, they will receive five kilograms of each of the sixteen rare metals—a temptation they simply cannot resist.
