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

Chapter 674 The Sun and Moon Empire's Profits from National Crisis Are Still Profits from National Crisis

Watching Chen Ping control the purple-level skeleton as it creaked and groaned forward, Ning Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

"You look quite cute like this."

Chen Ping rolled his eyes, then realized that the skeleton he was controlling didn't have eyes at all. He could only say helplessly, "Let's hurry up and make the most of this time."

"Almost all the powerful experts have gathered on those two sides. If things go smoothly, the ninth-level Soul Master who was guarding this place has also been transferred there. How much we can take advantage of this situation depends on these half an hour."

"Okay." Ning Tian agreed, and the expressions of the others gradually became serious.

This time, Chen Ping is fighting on three fronts. He single-handedly managed three major events that are independent of each other but also closely related. If any one of them goes wrong, he could end up losing everything. So it's quite tense.

Following the path next to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the group easily bypassed the soldiers guarding the outside and soon arrived at the courtyard where Chen An had met with others.

At this moment, the rumbling sound like rolling thunder in the distant sky grew louder and louder, and various lights of dark green, black, and yellow continuously burst forth in the sky.

Although the battlefield was high in the sky, its grandeur could still be felt from such a distance.

A hint of regret flickered in Chen Ping's eyes. If he didn't have more important matters to attend to, he would have loved to witness the clash between the strongest individuals of this era!
The man on duty here today is the middle-aged man surnamed Li who met with Chen'an that day.

At this moment, he stood in the courtyard, outwardly calm, but his eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of anxiety as he waited for something.

The middle-aged man surnamed Li wasn't waiting for the money; Chen An had already paid him the remaining balance when he picked up the goods. What he was waiting for was news that the transaction had gone smoothly.

You have to understand, he was selling rare metals behind his superiors' backs. If he were discovered, he would be in serious trouble, losing everything and his life! He had no choice but to be cautious.

He held a small black metal box in his hand, occasionally glancing at the crystal screen on top of the box.

The middle-aged man surnamed Li naturally heard the distant rumbling sound as well, glancing in that direction from time to time, a hint of fear showing in his eyes.

As a Soul Master, he was naturally a Soul Master himself. But such a terrifying audio-visual feast was truly a first for him.

And he didn't even know what had happened. With something on his mind, he found himself looking at the screen in his hand even more often.

Just then, figures suddenly rose into the air from another courtyard behind his own.

A strong voice rang out, "Li Chong, you guard the gate, we're going to check out the palace."

Eight figures soared into the sky, then transformed into streaks of light and headed towards the Mingdu Imperial Palace, where the roar echoed through the heavens.

The most formidable guard force was withdrawn, and everyone smiled upon seeing this.

That makes things much easier.

Ignoring the string of purple keys hanging on Li Chong's body, which were used to open the first level of the mechanism, the group used a simple trick to make Li Chong subconsciously walk out of the courtyard and observe the commotion outside.

Chen Ping and the others, as quiet as a few leopard cats, silently took advantage of the time to walk to the front of a large cabinet in the room, looked at the key ring on the cabinet, and took out a purple key that was exactly the same as the one hanging on Li Chong's waist.

Just as three forces were able to infiltrate the palace undetected and obtain its structural blueprints, Huo Yuhao, with the assistance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, could instantly increase his mental detection range by thousands of times. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had used this technique when searching for the Ice Emperor.

What Chen Ping did was to have Huo Yuhao not only copy the entire structure of the Sun Moon Empire's palace, but also memorize the key to Li Chong's room, and have a key made a day in advance for easy access.

Soon, after Chen Ping and the others entered the cabinet, Li Chong returned to the courtyard with a puzzled look on his face and continued to act as a guard.

Unfortunately, what Li Chong didn't know was that at this point, his position as a gatekeeper had become a lookout for Chen Ping and the others.

Having witnessed Li Chong's method of entering the armory using his mental power before, Chen Ping and the others progressed extremely quickly. They soon broke through the three layers of protection inside the armory, boarded the enclosed elevator in the room, and headed deeper underground.

"Hey. What brings Manager Li down here at this hour? Is he here to bring us brothers some wine?" a slightly humorous voice rang out.

Just then, the elevator next to Chen Ping came to a complete stop, and a voice rang out. Ji Juechen knew that it was time for him to take action.

The next moment, as soon as the elevator doors opened, two Soul-Forged Mechanical Swords appeared in Ji Juechen's hands. He suddenly flashed out and stabbed at the two people in front of him from the left and right, aiming straight for their throats.

Two cracking sounds were heard, seemingly the sound of bones being shattered, and the two level-six soul masters slowly collapsed to the ground with unwilling expressions.

Ji Juechen then slowly withdrew his hands, gave the mechanical swords he was holding a slight tremor to shake off the blood droplets on the blades, and then put the two mechanical swords together, instantly forming a mechanical greatsword.

"Well done, let's go."

Chen Ping was extremely satisfied with Ji Juechen's clean and efficient way of killing. After training in the undead demiplane for more than a year, Ji Juechen's swordsmanship was now at its peak.

The best way to deal with an undead warrior is to sever his spine, which requires the user to have a steady and accurate grip on the sword.

Now, Ji Juechen's opponents are just two flesh-and-blood soul masters, who are much easier to deal with than the undead soldiers who can only pierce the neck!
A sharp sword, sharp eyes—that perfectly describes Ji Juechen at this moment.

Once again, following the standard answer, I opened the door in front of me. Before even stepping inside, a distinct metallic smell wafted out.

This is a huge warehouse, at least 10,000 square meters at a glance.

Large boxes were arranged in different locations, each categorized by type, and a strong metallic smell emanated from them.

This place is a huge treasure trove.

Even a cursory glance reveals that at least tens of thousands of tons of rare metals are displayed here.

There are as many as thirty-two kinds of rare metals placed here.

Although none of them are particularly rare, without exception, they are all high-grade controlled items; otherwise, they would not be stored in a special armory as strategic materials.

The value of just this warehouse of rare metals, without even considering those priceless items, has already rivaled the wealth Chen Ping had accumulated over the years.
