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

Chapter 682 The Dumb-Brained Electromagnetic Cannon

"However, this was something we all discovered together. We really should observe it together, and we can all do this research together. To be honest, those bullshit competition rules set by the three major underground forces are utter garbage."

"What determines the quality of us Soul Masters? Besides the crafting of Soul Tools themselves, it's design and creativity. How many Soul Tools today originate from creative ideas!"

"In my opinion, Cai Xukun's courage to create a new type of soul tool that has never been explored before is enough to win him this championship."

"Anyway, I've already decided to side with this kid. Later in the battle, anyone who dares to kill him will be in for a world of hurt!"

Ye Yulin glanced at him and said, "Do I need you to do this? Look at the sky, what's that? Do you think I'm a pushover?"

Another referee couldn't help but say, "This doesn't seem right. These three underground forces pay us a lot of tribute. If we disrupt the match..."

Ye Yulin glared at him, looking like she was about to explode, and growled, "Bullshit. I'm asking you, Lao Zhang, with the emergence of a brand new branch line with soul tools, is this bullshit competition important? Is it important?"

"According to top-secret intelligence from within the palace, Shrek Academy has only mastered a new forging method to enhance the various properties of rare metals, yet it has already created a number of new technologies in terms of performance that even our Sun Moon Empire can hardly match."

"Think about the new technologies that Shrek Academy showcased in this competition: the Sky Fortress and the Soul Guidance Battle Armor. The emergence of these technologies is enough to prove that Shrek Academy has begun to try to overtake us by taking a shortcut."

Old Zhang was clearly outmaneuvered, and his momentum weakened as he said, "Old Ye, I'll do as you say. However, it's best not to go too far. Besides, if this young man can't even finish making his soul tool, he probably won't be able to participate in the later competitions!"

Ye Yulin snorted coldly, "It's fine if he doesn't participate. At worst, I'll just make another set of Sun and Moon Divine Needles as a gift for him."

"Coercion and bribery!" Old Wang thought to himself. Seeing this outstanding young man, Ye Yulin, that old bastard, really had no shame.

It's obvious he's trying to take it all by force. What a pity, what a real pity! Why didn't I meet such a talented young man sooner?

The referees were secretly discussing among themselves. Meanwhile, Chen Ping also noticed the gazes fixed on him.

When he subconsciously looked up, he saw the referees, who were enclosed in a separate soundproof enclosure, staring at him.

Are these referees completely clueless about how to use their electromagnetic soul-guided cannon because they didn't install a power supply interface?

A playful smile appeared on Chen Ping's lips. "You can figure it out yourselves."

Without the pioneers in the field of electromagnetics to pave the way for you and build the entire theoretical framework, it would be extremely difficult to replicate the soul tool in his hands.

Just like how you need to eat eight steamed buns to feel full, you can't expect to feel full after eating only the eighth steamed bun.

With such a significant gap in their existing technology trees, even if Chen Ping were to create a soul tool in front of these level eight and nine soul masters, he wouldn't worry that these old men would be able to figure out the underlying principles.

Soon, once Chen Ping was certain the finishing touches were complete and he severed his connection with the purple-level skeleton, his hands moved rapidly as he began assembling what could be considered the first soul-guided electromagnetic cannon on the entire Douluo Continent. However, watching Chen Ping's swiftly moving hands and the gradually taking shape soul-guided electromagnetic cannon, the judges' expressions turned strange.

In Chen Ping's hometown on Blue Star, there was an old man from the Strategic Deception Bureau who had a widely circulated saying: "Appearance is combat power." Good-looking equipment is bound to have excellent parameters.

In the world of Soul Guidance, this statement is also basically true: if your Soul Guidance device doesn't look good, how can I believe that your Soul Guidance device is good enough?
However, the soul-guided electromagnetic cannon that Chen Ping was making at this moment clearly did not fit this definition.

Because just after Chen Ping finished assembling the soul tool, everyone discovered that the soul tool was actually an extremely rigid rectangular box about two and a half meters long.

At the front of the rectangular box was a dark, bowl-sized cannon muzzle, and nothing else. Chen Ping seemed quite satisfied with this, and even carried it on his shoulder and fiddled with it for a while.

For a moment, the judges' mouths twitched. This square soul-guided cannon didn't even have a scope, and it looked like a weapon that needed to charge up for a long time. Would it be useful in actual combat?
After all, even the commonly used soul-guided quadruple rocket launcher, which is similar in shape to the rectangular box in front of us, at least comes with a launcher and a scope.

The soul tool that Chen Ping created this time had a smooth surface and didn't even have a switch, which was really outrageous.

However, considering that the soul tool in front of them was ultimately a product created by Chen Ping in a state of flow, the judges swallowed back what they wanted to say.

"That Cai Xukun is quite talented. Have you investigated his background?" The vice leader's deliberately suppressed female voice rang out softly.

Nangong Wan hurriedly and respectfully said, "I had someone investigate, and it can be basically confirmed that he and Xie Guangkun are both from Mingde Hall. The only question is which level nine soul master is standing behind them."

"However, once this competition is over, everything will be clear. He possesses the same Holy Spirit power as us, and the core circle of Mingde Hall certainly cannot tolerate an evil soul master like him."

"That's probably why he showed up at the underground tournament. As for the rest, they're not a problem. We can just brainwash him."

The vice-leader sneered, "Fool."

Nangong Wan's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed and said, "Please teach me a lesson, Vice Sect Leader."

The vice-leader said coldly, "He is a Soul Master, not a Soul Instructor. What he needs to do is creative work."

“If you brainwash him, his memory will be greatly diminished. His Soul Master abilities are easy to restore through guidance and training. But can such a delicate process as making a Soul Tool be restored? We should focus on winning this young man over.”

Nangong Wan quickly nodded and said, "Yes. This time we took out a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell in order to win him over. My idea is that if he refuses to comply, we will consider brainwashing him as a last resort."

"Hmm. After this competition, don't let him out of sight again," the vice-leader coldly ordered.
