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

Chapter 724: Sow melons, reap melons, sow beans, reap beans

To be honest, Wang Qiu'er's concept was quite profound for Chen Ping.

So much so that when Chen Ping disguised the auspicious beast as a human, he subconsciously put Wang Dong'er's model on it.

She just casually dyed his hair blonde and put a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses on him, making him look like he wasn't very bright.

"Hey, Chen Ping, let's quickly coordinate our statements. What's my name? What's my identity?"

The auspicious beast looked at the soldiers who were now almost within reach and spoke softly.

"What are you trying to get information from? We're not criminals," Chen Ping said, half-laughing and half-crying. "What season did you hatch from the egg? If I remember correctly, it was autumn, right?"

Chen Ping recalled his memories of the auspicious beast, and seeing that the beast agreed, he said, "Then you will be called Qiu'er, a student of Shrek Academy's inner court. Leave the rest to me."

After saying this, Chen Ping looked at the people flying towards them.

These people were mostly the garrison of Tiandou City. Unlike the Sun Moon Empire's terrifyingly dense anti-aircraft firepower and soul-guided positions, the other three empires, including their capitals, did not actually have that many anti-aircraft positions. At most, they were deployed near the imperial palace.

However, the absence of anti-aircraft soul tools does not mean the absence of anti-aircraft firepower. Soul masters above the fourth ring who can use flying soul tools are stationed at various points for patrols, and can also provide effective early warning and interception for any air force that wants to enter Tiandou City.

After the Heavenly Dou Empire purchased a batch of new turbojet flight soul tools and high-altitude detection soul tools provided by Chen Ping, the Heavenly Dou Empire's air defense capabilities were improved by more than one level. If they still couldn't detect Chen Ping, who hadn't hidden his figure at all, then something would be strange.

The group quickly surrounded them. There were ten Soul Masters in total, all of them using standard flying Soul Guidance Devices.

They didn't seem to be moving too fast, so it wouldn't be impossible for Chen Ping to escape with the auspicious beast if he wanted to.

Although he was eager to get to Sunset Forest, he didn't want to cause himself any unnecessary trouble.

If people think we're spying on Tiandou City, and it attracts powerful figures from the Tianhun Empire to come after us, things will get bad.

Although the Heavenly Soul Empire is not as powerful as the Star Luo Empire, it is still a great power with a long history and solid foundation.

The group of Soul Masters surrounded them but didn't make a move. They simply encircled Chen Ping and his companions. Chen Ping didn't release any offensive Soul Tools either. He spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

These Soul Masters from the Heavenly Soul Empire were all dressed in leather armor, clearly to reduce their own weight, and the flying Soul Tools on their backs emitted a faint blue light.

"Ahem, don't be nervous. We are students from Shrek Academy. We had important business to attend to today and were just passing through your capital. I didn't directly cross through Heaven Dou City, so I shouldn't be breaking any rules, right?"

Chen Ping chuckled, and the first Soul Master Captain's expression softened upon hearing this.

The new flying soul tools and high-altitude detection soul tools that Shrek Academy provided them with during this period not only greatly reduced the soul power consumption during their patrols, but also, because of the high-altitude detection soul tools, apart from the routine patrols every now and then, they only needed to keep an eye on the high-altitude detection soul tools most of the time, saving them a lot of effort.

Because of this, the team of Soul Masters in front of them were naturally more friendly towards Chen Ping, but since it was only Chen Ping who spoke, the soldiers did not completely let their guard down. "Then please show us the tokens representing your school's identity."

The captain stepped forward and spoke very politely. Chen Ping glanced at the adorable-looking mythical beast and was speechless. All he had was a Shrek Academy uniform.

"Well, I have a token from your empire's princess. Would that work?"

As he spoke, Chen Ping reached back and produced a square gold medal, which he handed to the Soul Master Captain.

However, when the captain received the gold medal and saw the words on it, he became even more nervous and immediately pointed the high-energy soul-guided spear at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping glanced at it subconsciously and then discovered that the gold medal he had taken out was engraved with a tulip-shaped openwork pattern of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, while the other side was carved with the four characters "Star Luo Forever".

"Wait, I took the wrong one, but I also have Princess Tianhun Vina's gold medal here."

Chen Ping hurriedly took out another gold token—this time it was the token of the young sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

For a moment, the captain looked at Chen Ping's expression strangely. Could this guy be a forger? What if the other party produces Princess Vina's token? Should he believe it or not?

Fortunately, Chen Ping eventually cleared up the misunderstanding and even had a meal at the military camp.

According to the military camp commander, the Sun Moon Empire's spies have been operating much more frequently lately. Not only are spies who gather intelligence on military supplies often caught in the border areas, but even in Tian Dou City, these money-grubbing types frequently appear, using the excuse of getting lost to gather intelligence for the Sun Moon Empire and sell it for a good price.

At this point, the person in charge slammed his fist on the table in anger: "These bastards think that just because they said how many truckloads of supplies the military camp needs to receive each month and when they will receive them, it's no big deal. In reality, they found out the number of people in the military camp and the supply schedule in just a few words!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was secretly alarmed. It seemed that despite the internal political chaos, the Sun Moon Empire had not relaxed its preparations for war in the slightest, and the overwhelming number of spies was the best answer to this.

The reason this point wasn't mentioned in the original work is simply because the Heavenly Soul Empire didn't have high-altitude detection soul tools and could only rely on human patrols to catch spies, so they didn't notice it.

However, this also indirectly proves that Chen Ping's efforts were indeed effective.

Since he created his first new turbojet flying soul tool in his second year of school, he has been strengthening the military power of the two great empires, Tianhun and Xingluo, and to this day, the changes have finally become visible to the naked eye.

Every little bit counts, and the seeds planted year after year are finally bearing fruit.

As the saying goes, "a glimpse of the leopard through a tube reveals a part of the whole," just like the current level of air defense in Dou City today, even if the Sun Moon Empire were to directly start a war like in the original story, the Heavenly Soul Empire, which originally had almost no natural barriers to defend, would probably not be able to be directly pushed to the ground without any resistance.

The Heavenly Soul Empire won't expand too quickly. With the Mingdou Mountains as a natural barrier, the Star Luo Empire doesn't need to worry about the Sun Moon Empire using the Heavenly Soul as a route to the south. The entire war should last much longer than in the original story.
