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

Chapter 723 Auspicious Beast: Take the stairs! (8K)

"Chen Ping, where are you going?"

Just as Chen Ping stepped out of the academy gate, unfolded his flying backpack, and was about to ride the clouds away, two streaks of light, one gold and one red, flew in from the horizon.

Chen Ping looked closely and realized that what was rushing towards her from the horizon was the Imperial Beast and the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Crimson King, who had been protecting her all along.

At this moment, the three small eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were filled with dissatisfaction, clearly conveying the message, "I've caught you."

“Auspicious Beast, I really don’t have time to entertain you today. I just returned from the Sun Moon Empire and then I have to make a trip to the Heavenly Soul Empire.”

"Besides, many sects in various countries and the academy are also not very lucky. I heard that some of them have been captured. It is possible that the academy will have to organize a rescue later. If you are really craving fish, go find Yuhao. His grilled fish skills are better than mine, okay?"

Chen Ping bowed apologetically to the auspicious beast. He could postpone his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Ning Tian's Qiluo Tulip, but Mu En's condition could not be delayed. He would eventually have to make this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"The Heavenly Soul Empire?"

Upon hearing this, the auspicious beast's eyes lit up: "Perfect timing! I've been staying in the Star Dou Forest these past few days, and I've been getting increasingly bored and restless. That's why I came to Shrek Academy and ran into you."

"Since you have the shell of the Rainbow Scale Mystic Light Mirage, why don't you take me and the Crimson King to play? When we come across a place with people, lend me the shell, and I'll hide myself well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping reduced the thrust of his flying soul tool, slowly floated to the front of the auspicious beast, hovered there, and touched its forehead with two fingers. He asked in bewilderment, "It's not burning up, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"you!"

The mythical beast, greatly displeased, made a move to bite Chen Ping's finger, but Chen Ping immediately withdrew his finger, and the beast gave up.

"I'm going to the Heavenly Soul Empire on business. There are many dangers involved. Didn't you see that I didn't even ask Ning Tian and Wu Feng to come with me? I'm going alone?"

"The place I'm going to this time is so dangerous it's practically a death trap, so don't bother joining in. If I have time when I get back, I'll try to bring you some good food."

Chen Ping took the opportunity to stroke the auspicious beast's chin a few times, causing the beast to subconsciously squint its eyes and enjoy it, but it quickly realized something was wrong and suddenly opened its eyes.

"Going to the Desolate Land? You should have taken me with you then! No matter how you look at me, Crimson King and I are no match for you, a mere Soul King. Damn, how come you're already a Soul Emperor?"

The auspicious beast swore. If she remembered correctly, when Chen Ping met her a few weeks ago and dealt with that golden-haired lion-mastiff, his cultivation level was only level 55. How could he have become a level 60 quasi-Soul Emperor in the blink of an eye?
"No, no, go find Yuhao to get you something to eat. I'm leaving, don't follow me, or I won't bring you anything good to eat when I come back this time."

"Let me tell you, I'm bringing back some really good stuff this time. If you don't listen to me, you won't get any this time."

Chen Ping shook his head, waved his hand, and flew towards the north. The auspicious beast was indeed powerful, but it was a hot potato.

Such a person is fine when active in Star Dou Forest or Shrek Academy near Star Dou Forest, but if something really happens to her outside, then whoever is with her will be unlucky and will have to take responsibility.

Moreover, the auspicious beast had said that it had been feeling bored these past few days and couldn't stand staying in the Star Dou Forest, which was why it decided to come out. This statement immediately put Chen Ping on guard.

After all, the auspicious beast in the original story only came out to transform into a human because it was curious about what the human world was like, and eventually fell into Tang San's trap step by step.

Therefore, Chen Ping definitely couldn't let the auspicious beast follow him. He would just grab Huo Yuhao and give her some barbecue. Anyway, Ma Xiaotao couldn't beat the auspicious beast, so he wasn't worried about Ma Xiaotao being unhappy. It made sense.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction and sped off towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Chen Ping flew very quickly this time. He hasn't grown to the point where he can open a portal to wherever he wants. He needs to use the soul masters inside and outside other demiplanes as coordinates to open a portal. His soul strength is insufficient, and he needs to prepare materials to assist him in setting up the array.

Therefore, Chen Ping simply flew straight ahead, covering a distance of only a few hours. Along the way, he went through a pair of sealed baby bottles, and it took him a little over two hours to reach the vicinity of Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire. He landed in a small grove of trees, rubbed his tired eyes, rested against a large tree for a while, then took out a fried dough cake, put it into a pot of water, and began boiling water with his hands crackling with crimson lightning.

"Hey, Chen Ping."

The next moment, the familiar voice rang out from beside Chen Ping again, startling him so much that he jumped up, almost causing the homemade fried instant noodles in the pot to fly out of his hand.

"Auspicious beast, what the hell are you doing here?"

Chen Ping looked at the golden-haired little beast beside him in shock, completely unexpected that it would appear here.

"Okay, let's take the stairs."

The mythical beast proudly raised its head, looking as if to say, "Isn't that amazing? Praise me!"

"Climbing the stairs"

Chen Ping subconsciously looked up with the auspicious beast, staring at the cloudless sky, speechless.

"My auspicious beast, I really don't have time this time—"

Just as Chen Ping was about to say something, he was interrupted by the auspicious beast.

"Chen Ping, I've read a lot of books about you humans lately. I've heard that humans are generous and righteous towards their friends, and they also have the duty to advise them on good and correct their mistakes. Am I right?"

Chen Ping was truly taken aback by the auspicious beast's words and immediately nodded instinctively: "Yes, absolutely right, that's why I advised against it."

"That's why you advised me to go back, right? It's a gesture of goodwill to persuade me to do good and correct my mistakes. And you used to always treat me to delicious food, and you even saved a golden apple for me. That's a gesture of generosity, isn't it?"

"Oh, right?"

Chen Ping didn't know what the auspicious beast was up to, but since the other party was always right, he nodded.

"Do you know that, in addition to the righteousness of being generous and righteous, the friendship of advising others to do good and correcting their mistakes, one must also have the loyalty to serve the country, the impartiality of recommending the virtuous without hesitation, the integrity of accompanying someone in exile, and the responsibility to lend a helping hand in times of trouble?"

"Since you consider me your friend, and the place you're going to is extremely dangerous, then it's my responsibility to help you in case of trouble. How can I let you go on this adventure alone?"

"So, no matter what, I'll go with you this time. If all else fails, I can always call in other people."

After saying this, the auspicious beast, without waiting for Chen Ping's agreement, spat out a mouthful of golden flame, which made the pot Chen Ping used to make instant noodles boil vigorously.

Meanwhile, in the distance, from the direction of Tiandou City, a group of figures were flying towards them.

These people flew in a fan shape. They slowly changed formation in the air, encircling them in a semi-encircling manner.

"Chen Ping, hurry, hurry, transform me into a human."

Upon seeing this, the auspicious beast hurriedly spoke. Chen Ping, seeing the approaching troop of soldiers, also quickly took out the mirage shell and blew a breath of mirage air onto the auspicious beast.

"Change!"
