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

Chapter 635 Thank you, Jing Hongchen

The power of their clash affected the entire arena, creating a giant crater.

The high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire on the platform in the distance stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

Even though the current competition tables are made of a single piece of alloy material!
Just how powerful an impact would it take to do that?
At this moment, Jing Hongchen no longer cared that the biggest contributor to the outcome of this match was himself, his own Hongchen protection; his expression changed repeatedly.

Both Chen Ping and Long Aotian are far stronger than Xiao Hongchen, who is at the Soul Saint level.

Are Soul Masters really stronger than Soul Instructors?
Long Aotian appeared at the very core of the explosion.

He knelt on the ground in the center of the pit, trying to stand up.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed as if all the meridians in his body had been dislocated by that blow.

Chen Ping had previously said that to determine whether this game was a draw, the first thing to do was to see if Long Aotian had a defensive soul tool. But in reality, Chen Ping knew this better than Long Aotian.

Long Aotian is even more stubborn and traditional than the inner court students of Shrek Academy five years ago. Apart from the soul tools he uses daily, he refuses to use any form of soul tool to assist in combat.

Therefore, he naturally doesn't have an invincible shield.

In contrast, Chen Ping, though appearing disheveled, was actually only slightly shaken by the recoil.

The opponent's Mad God Slash, which was enhanced with several amplification skills and was powerful enough to severely injure a Soul Douluo, was all blocked by Chen Ping's second form, Red Dust Protection.

Although the Red Dust Blessing in this state requires five days to actively recharge and half a month to automatically recharge, it releases a defensive effect three times greater than the user's maximum.

Just imagine how terrifying the defensive power of Chen Ping's soul, which had been perfected and refined after absorbing the Snow Emperor's soul, would be when it was activated in this state, resulting in a maximum of three times the defensive power.

Even so, Chen Ping only won by a narrow margin.

Although the passively activated protective shield did not consume Chen Ping's soul power, the consumption Chen Ping had incurred when facing Long Aotian was considerable. Not only was his soul power depleted, but his blood energy and spiritual power were also largely consumed.

After finishing this battle, he was basically unable to engage in any more high-intensity battles. Otherwise, if he forced himself to continue, the side effects of Long Aotian's previous barrage of attacks would soon become apparent.

Chen Ping walked up to Long Aotian, bowed slightly, and generously extended his right hand: "Brother Long, how about we call this a draw?"

Long Aotian was silent for two seconds before taking the outstretched hand and standing up. "No need. I lost. I was outmatched. I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

Chen Ping's soul power was greatly depleted, but he still had physical strength and some vital energy.

On the other hand, Long Aotian was not only depleted of his soul power, but also suffered a huge impact from the explosion, causing his internal organs to shift and rendering him completely powerless in a short period of time.

Under the suppression of the Xiong Ba Domain and Chen Ping's previous continuous elbow block punches, Long Aotian's full combat power had already been reduced again and again. What he faced next was Chen Ping standing in the Xiong Ba Domain, with the Earth Demon Chop fully charged with three layers of staff power.

With the numbers increasing and decreasing simultaneously, plus Chen Ping's final, instantaneous activation of the shield that blocked the shockwaves from both sides' attacks, the current state of the battle is perfectly normal.

The clash between the two sides had almost completely destroyed Long Aotian's protective soul power during the explosion, tearing it apart like scrap paper and striking his body. For Long Aotian, whose martial soul was his skin, even a wound on his body was an extremely serious injury.

"I have to thank Master Jing Hongchen for this. I have used the Hongchen Blessing he gave me for many years. It has saved me from danger several times. If it weren't for this soul tool, I might be buried with grass growing three feet tall by now."

When Chen Ping's words were relayed, Jing Hongchen's face instantly turned ashen, while Xu Tianran, though knowing it was Chen Ping's psychological manipulation, still looked ashen, as if he were about to burst into tears.

They saved this guy from danger several times? Does that mean that without this soul tool, the Empire wouldn't have had to worry about this major threat causing trouble for them time and time again?

Although Xu Tianran knew that even without the protection of the mortal world, Chen Ping could at most switch to a soul tool of a level suitable for his use, and use two more invincible shields when encountering major troubles that he couldn't handle.

Even so, Xu Tianran still felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had swallowed several flies, and kept glancing at Jing Hongchen.

Mingde Hall has been researching the refining method of thousand-forged metal for more than a year, but there is still no progress. Instead, the internal high-level soul masters are all suffering from exhaustion and injuries.

He sent Jing Hongchen to handle the exchange student matters and, incidentally, to the Holy Spirit Cult to trick and seize the crafting technology of the Thousand-Refined Metal. In the end, however, the Shrek Academy members escaped from the Dark Dragon Emperor.

There are also the level nine soul masters who disappeared during their exchange program at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
The more Xu Tianran analyzed the intelligence he had related to Jing Hongchen, the more he doubted Jing Hongchen's loyalty, not only to him but also to the Sun Moon Empire.

One or two times could be a coincidence, but Jing Hongchen has suffered losses and made a mess of things so many times in matters related to Shrek Academy. Is that really just a coincidence?

Jing Hongchen had no idea what Xu Tianran was thinking at this moment, otherwise he probably would have been ready to explode at Xu Tianran.

Facing such a cheat code that he's seen the script, isn't it normal for him to suffer repeated setbacks and lose gold coins one after another? Besides, can you blame your dad for Long Xiaoyao losing rare metals? Xu Tianran, I'll f*** you!

"Defense Soul Tool"

Long Aotian was speechless. If he really had such a defensive soul tool, instead of relying on his skin spirit to withstand the attack, the outcome of this match might indeed be uncertain.

From Chen Ping's tone, Long Aotian could clearly sense that Chen Ping had no resistance to the use of soul tools. This atmosphere could be felt throughout the Shrek Academy team, which made Long Aotian fall into deep thought.

Perhaps, using soul tools will not affect the purity of their martial soul cultivation.

After all, even though Chen Ping was just a Soul Master with all sorts of Soul Tools, it didn't stop him from cultivating his body to the level that surpassed the younger generation of the Body Sect.

In this situation, their continued adherence to so-called purity doesn't seem like a wise plan.

In the audience, Du Busi was watching the match and nodding incessantly, but he kept lamenting why Chen Ping wasn't a Soul Master with a true martial soul.

But when the two of them suddenly started talking, Du Busi subconsciously grabbed the storage soul guide bag hanging on his waist, which contained most of the assets of the entire Body Sect.

"Strange. The storage bag didn't fall off either."

Poison Undying muttered something in confusion. He suddenly had a feeling that all the gold soul coins and various assets he had accumulated over the years were about to leave him and grow wings to fly away.
