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

Chapter 640 An Assassination That Was Difficult to Carry Out
"Since you want to take action against Xu Tianran, I will not and cannot stop you, neither morally nor logically."

"But I must remind you that even with the combined strength of Shrek Academy, assassinating Xu Tianran is almost impossible."

"So all you need to do is to make the Soul Master Corps surrounding Mingdu lose their composure and march to the capital to protect the royal army. Don't get carried away and actually try to assassinate Xu Tianran."

"After all, the other party is a level 89 Soul Douluo, only one step away from becoming a Title Douluo. If you dare to send someone to assassinate Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran can personally control that level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon in the palace and blast you into nothingness."

Chen Ping's words almost plunged the two princesses into an ice cave, as the information he possessed was something they had never known before.

That's why, when they actually learned how difficult it was to assassinate Xu Tianran, their faces immediately froze.

"Soul tools, soul tools again. Are high-level soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire worthless? Hundreds of level 7 soul cannons plus one level 9 soul cannon, not to mention countless level 9 defensive soul tools and one peak level 9 defensive soul tool?"

Vina, who was already penniless, immediately cursed. When it comes to money, neither the Body Sect nor the Heavenly Soul Empire had assets as much as the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, when she heard that the palace where Xu Tianran lived was actually made by clearing out some space from a bunch of large, high-level soul tools, she was immediately taken aback.

After hearing Chen Ping's news, Xu Jiujiu's expression also turned grim.

The imperial palace, with its level of defense, is so impregnable that it cannot be breached by a dozen or so titled Douluo going all in at once.

In addition, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, which has been guarding the imperial city, would likely lose themselves if, as Chen Ping said, the higher-ups were to actually assassinate Xu Tianran.

Moreover, Xu Tianran was actually a high-level Soul Douluo of level 89, which caught them even more off guard.

Breaking through the numerous traps Chen Ping had mentioned to assassinate an ordinary person in the palace was difficult enough, let alone killing an 89th-level Soul Douluo!

They didn't want to believe the information Chen Ping provided, as it was far too sensational. Besides, they were all princesses of a nation; how could Chen Ping know information they didn't?

But then again, why would Chen Ping need to lie to them?
Actually, Chen Ping hadn't told Vina and Xu Jiujiu the whole story yet.

After all, in the original novel, Ju Zi, who felt she had been used as a tool after being treated as a breeding machine, gave birth to Xu Yunhan and angrily wanted to assassinate Xu Tianran. When she was supporting her son to take the throne, she revealed to Huo Yuhao that Xu Tianran had as many as eleven level-nine defensive soul tools!

These eleven level-nine defensive soul tools are all trigger-activated, possessing various functions and capable of defending against all kinds of attacks. They include both mental and physical attacks, and are being used to defend against none other than Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Moreover, these defensive soul tools have been evaluated by the worshippers who provided these level-nine soul tools from the Sun and Moon Worship Hall. Even a Limit Douluo would not be able to completely break through all of his defenses within half an hour.

Although Xu Tianran's cultivation level was far from reaching level 92 at this time, and the sealed milk bottle had only been around for a very short time, it was not enough to prepare so many high-level milk bottles to provide Xu Tianran with the soul power to activate these level 9 soul tools.

Even so, Chen Ping believed that Xu Tianran must have at least six different level-nine defensive soul tools, so there was no possibility of him being 'assassinated' in a short period of time. Even if he really died, it was because he was worn down by continuous attacks and bombardments for more than ten minutes.

"What should we do? Chen Ping, if you have any insightful advice at this critical juncture, please don't hesitate to share it with us."

A hint of worry flashed in Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes. She could only look at Chen Ping with hopeful eyes, her tone pleading. This girl was clearly not stupid; just looking at Chen Ping's calm expression, she knew he definitely had a way to handle this.

Chen Ping felt somewhat helpless about this, but he was certainly confident in his ability to solve the problem.

As long as he packs up all the Shrek students and throws them into the undead demi-plane when he leaves, he can simply stay in Mingdu for half a year in his mirage before going back, thus resolving this seemingly invincible dead end.

Mingdu is, after all, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. How can it be sealed off for half a year at a time?
Moreover, even if the people of the Sun Moon Empire really intended to seal off the city for half a year, in the end, Chen Ping would just have the employees of the Pill Pavilion at Shrek Academy act as spatial coordinates, and then Chen Ping would simply reopen the gate.

A continuous spatial portal requires materials and magic arrays to construct, but a temporary teleportation array that lasts only a few seconds or tens of seconds can be drawn by Chen Ping himself.

The skills Electrolux teaches may be difficult to learn, but mastering any one of them is an incredible skill.

The problem with this solution is that the undead demiplane can only be used by his own people, not by Xu Jiujiu and the others.

Moreover, if Xu Jiujiu really cancels the assassination plan against Xu Tianran, it won't be good news for Chen Ping, since he still plans to take advantage of the chaos to visit the armory in Mingdu.

So Chen Ping pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "You actually have allies in Mingdu, but you just haven't seen them."

"What do you mean?"

For a moment, both Xu Jiujiu and Vina looked puzzled.

Besides Shrek, what other forces can they woo for help?

It can't be Tianlongmen, who also failed to leave, or Aojianzong, who are still hoping to continue playing tomorrow, can it?

"The Sun Moon Empire has more than just one prince, Xu Tianran. Moreover, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is not Xu Tianran, the regent. The old emperor is just sick, but he is not dead yet."

"If you attack Xu Tianran, he can ensure that he will not be assassinated. He can keep the Soul Master Corps outside the city on high alert and deal with you slowly. But what if you are dealing with the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire? What if everyone thinks you are Xu Tianran's people?"

"Xu Tianran is already the regent. One more step and he will be the real emperor. The only difference between him and the emperor is that the old emperor is seriously ill and cannot be cured, he is neither alive nor dead."

"If anyone in the Sun and Moon Palace most wants the old emperor to die quickly, it must be Xu Tianran. And if anyone in the palace least wants the old emperor to die, it is naturally the old emperor's other princes."

"After all, no matter how deep Xu Tianran's regency is, as long as he is not the true Emperor of the Sun and Moon, there is always the possibility of him being replaced. But once he sits on that throne, no one will follow these other princes, or rather, these nobles, in their nonsense."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Vina's eyes lit up: "You mean we should go and fight the old emperor?"
