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

Chapter 621 Failure at the beginning
Nangong Wan approached Chen Ping and smiled, "Young friend, may we have a talk?"

Chen Ping glanced at him indifferently, then looked at the clock on the wall and shook his head helplessly: "Leader Nangong, if we brothers don't go back soon, it will be too late. Even if we want to talk, let's wait until I win the final championship."

Was it delayed?
Nangong Wan was overjoyed to hear this. Were these two kids who had caused such a ruckus in the Xishui Alliance's regional competition worried about the school's curfew?
However, it seems that apart from the school's curfew, there really is nothing that could make these two young men rush to leave as soon as the game was over.

Nangong Wan smiled slightly: "Since you're not willing to say more, then let's talk properly after you win the final championship representing our Xishui Alliance."

"There's something I can tell you in advance: if you win this honor for our Xishui Alliance, then in addition to the competition rewards, our Xishui Alliance will give you a separate, generous gift."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping immediately asked seriously, "Is this gift really that generous? I want a ton of Gini titanium magnesium, I wonder..."

"cough cough"

When Nangong Wan heard Chen Ping ask for a ton of Gini titanium-magnesium alloy, he almost choked to death.

This level of alloy costs tens of thousands of gold soul coins per kilogram, and this kid is asking for a ton, a full two thousand kilograms, which is tens of millions of gold soul coins!

"It seems this gift isn't all that generous, but Alliance Leader Nangong, I'll remember this generous gift."

After saying that, he turned and left, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Nangong Wan stood on the stage, gazing in the direction Chen Ping and the other man had left, a thoughtful expression on his face.

All the doors of the Golden Hall were wide open, and gamblers filed out.

After a tense and exciting night of waiting, some people are still energetic even after staying up all night, while others are still listless even after sleeping for seven or eight hours.

Instead of returning directly to the Mingdu Hotel with Huo Yuhao, Chen Ping skillfully navigated a side road and headed towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy on the west side of Mingdu.

On the way, Chen Ping casually took out the Flame Wizard and the Dark Azure Dragon and tossed them to Huo Yuhao.

"Which one do you feel suits you better? Pick whichever you like."

Chen Ping generously fulfilled his promise to Huo Yuhao to exchange the Heavenly Dream Silkworm Molt.

Making that thing into a life reflection shield that can only be used twice is a huge waste of its potential. After a period of research, Chen Ping has vaguely figured out what it should be made into.

"The Dark Azure Dragon is a must."

Huo Yuhao didn't hold back and took down the Dark Azure Dragon, which was ranked slightly lower than the Flame Wizard. He wasn't good at making energy-storing soul tools, so he didn't really need the special buff that the Flame Wizard's core magic circle could overload by 30%.

This flame-carving knife would have been far more suitable for Chen Ping to give to He Caitou or Qian Duoduo than to him.

Neither of them seemed to notice that a dark figure was silently following behind them, hanging at a distance.

Just when the shadowy figure thought he could easily complete the mission, a scene he would never forget appeared.

Just a few intersections away, when the two were about to arrive at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao once again slipped into a nearly deserted alleyway. Then, as if a pencil drawing had been erased, they vanished into thin air in an instant.

The VIP room on the basement floor of the Qingse Hotel.

Huang Zheng and Mo Ke stood side by side in front of Ming Lei Douluo, their heads bowed in dejection.

The two brothers teamed up, but before they could even show their skills, they were defeated in the regional finals. Not only that, but the list of engraving knives was also used for attacking.

This was a huge blow to both of them. Especially for Merck, who had always been arrogant, today he finally saw what it meant to be outmatched and have a higher level of expertise.

After being utterly crushed by Chen Ping from every angle—from basic combat strength to soul tools to evil soul master power—Merck began to lose his way.

Ming Lei Douluo remained silent with a somber face, creating a very heavy atmosphere in the small space.

He knew in his heart that this loss was not their fault, but he couldn't help but feel that it was a good educational opportunity, so he had to put on a grumpy face.

Besides the three of them, the Second Elder Nangong Wan, the Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect Feng Ling, and several other middle-aged men were also in the VIP room.

Nangong Wan asked in a low voice, "Vice Master, what do you think of that young man just now? Judging from what he said, the two of them are fellow disciples."

A strange light shone in Feng Ling's grey-blue eyes: "It's very peculiar; that feeling is exactly what we've been searching for."

Nangong Wan was slightly startled: "You mean, he might be the Holy Son?"

Feng Ling nodded slightly: "Yes, it's that strange feeling. Have you noticed that the way he releases his holy power is obviously different from ours?"

"When we release our holy power, we still need to rely on the power of our own martial soul, but in his case, there is a situation that violates the rules."

"All of Cai Xukun's power is achieved through the six-pointed star rune in his palm."

"His skills seem to work directly without the help of any spirit rings. Interesting, this young man is very interesting."

Nangong Wan replied, "I've already sent people to follow him. Let's find out where he lives and who he's in contact with. Since he dares to use this ability so recklessly here, he must have some powerful connections."

“I spoke to him a few words earlier, and he specifically looked at the clock on the wall and said that if we didn’t go back soon, it would be too late.”

"At this point in time, it seems that only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which had previously had its 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo stolen, is still strictly enforcing the curfew."

"Therefore, I didn't continue to talk to this kid in too much depth. Of course, another reason is that this kid has too big an appetite. He asked me for a ton of Gini titanium magnesium alloy right away. But with such a big appetite, I'm afraid only the people at Mingdetang can afford to feed him."

Feng Ling nodded: "You did very well today, without alerting the enemy. I will report this matter to the sect leader immediately and ask him to make a decision."

"Yes."

Just then, a man in black strode into the room and whispered something in Nangong Wan's ear.

"waste!"

Nangong Wan cursed angrily, and the man in black kept his head down.

Feng Ling glanced at him.

“We’ve lost track of them. Those two seem to have some kind of special transparent equipment. They disappeared into thin air almost instantly and are completely undetectable.”

"However, those two people did head straight for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and they were very familiar with the paths in Mingdu. They were heading towards the west side of Mingdu, so they are most likely from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Nangong Wan said somewhat awkwardly, then looked at the man in black.
