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

Chapter 744 There's a thousand days of thievery, but not a thousand days of guarding against thieves (6K)

"As a soul beast, you aided and abetted evil, plotting to harm the Emperor's auspicious beast. You deserve to die."

A deep voice sounded, and an extremely dense dark aura slowly emerged. This dark aura drifted into the sky and faintly transformed into the shape of a dragon.

In the area shrouded by this dark aura, a man dressed in a black robe and standing five meters tall floated silently in the air above the core area of ​​the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The man in the black robe had a resolute and cold appearance, with long black hair that hung down his back to his heels. Not a hair more, not a hair less.

Among his full head of black hair, two strands of golden hair stood out, hanging quietly in front of him.

Just now, he was staring intently at the Gate of the Dead. The moment the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item appeared, he suddenly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.

An extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body; that single grasping motion seemed to tear the sky apart. The entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye trembled slightly, and the sky twisted violently.

After that illusory grab ended, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item had completely vanished, leaving behind only a blood-red soul ring and a left leg bone of the 100,000-year level.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​who ranks first on the Ferocious Beast Ranking, would have such bad luck. He killed a 100,000-year-old soul beast and didn't even get a torso bone or skull. Instead, he got a leg bone, which was the lowest level left leg bone."

"It's alright, as long as His Majesty the Beast God doesn't hold it against me and agrees to give me this thing along with this soul ring, I don't mind that this thing is of poor quality."

Chen Ping's voice slowly rang out, as if he had long anticipated that Di Tian would come. He took a step out of the undead demiplane, stood on the ground, and faced Di Tian, ​​who was majestic like a god in the sky.

"ridiculous."

Seeing Chen Ping, who looked like a tiny ant on the ground yet dared to face him directly, Di Tianlong extended his claw, and a powerful black-gold claw shadow enveloped Chen Ping's body.

Di Tian's attack speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the huge black-gold dragon claw had already landed on Chen Ping and captured him.

Surprisingly, Chen Ping did not resist. His face was calm, as if he was not worried at all about what this person, who could be called the strongest in the Douluo Continent, would do to him.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Di Tian stared intently at Chen Ping, who remained calm and composed despite being held in his palm, a hint of curiosity appearing in his golden eyes.

"What am I afraid of?" Chen Ping snorted. "Are you afraid that you're the only soul beast in the world that has condensed a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core?"

Di Tian blinked his golden eyes and said, "It seems that the Snow Empress has told you about me quite a bit. Even in your human world, not many people know that I possess a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang."

"However, that doesn't stop me from killing you. After all, if you hadn't bewitched the auspicious beast to come here, the beast wouldn't have been on the verge of death, and the Crimson King wouldn't have ended up being at your beck and call."

"I can sense that you hold a significant place in the heart of the auspicious beast. For that reason alone, I should kill you to eliminate any future trouble!"

After Di Tian finished speaking, the coldness in his tone almost pierced Chen Ping's soul. After all, the number of humans who had died at the hands of this Beast God Di Tian was truly incalculable.

"Just like after you arrived and finished discussing things with the Crimson King and the auspicious beast, the first thing you did was to kill the Fragrant and Elegant Immortal?"

“Yes, since she harmed the auspicious beast once, she might harm it a second time. Even if she doesn’t do it a second time, I still won’t let her go.” Di Tian nodded seriously.

"That reason isn't enough. You should know that the auspicious beast came out on its own. Even if you really wanted to kill me, you should have used the soul technology I possess to kill me."

Chen Ping shook his head, rejecting Di Tian's reasoning, which aroused Di Tian's curiosity.

"Mastering soul-manipulation techniques is my reason for killing you?"

Di Tian's tone carried a hint of confusion: "I originally thought this was your reason for begging me not to kill you."

"No matter what, the Crimson King has now become your soul spirit, and your soul spirit system technology can at least allow soul beasts to choose to become your human soul spirit before they die."

"If we can really do that, at least it will reduce the harm that you humans have done to the soul beasts in our soul beast world. For that alone, it would be a great deed."

Chen Ping said, "Since I can create the Soul Spirit system, one day I will naturally be able to create artificial Soul Rings that do not require Soul Beasts at all. The technical difficulty involved is not that insurmountable."

Di Tian was even more confused by Chen Ping's words: "Man-made spirit rings are far more valuable than spirit spirits. If you humans can use man-made spirit rings in the future, what about us spirit beasts?"

As Di Tian spoke, he suddenly realized just how terrifying the future Chen Ping had described was.

Humans will no longer need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, but they will always need to acquire soul bones. At that time, powerful soul masters will only hunt soul beasts even more relentlessly.

Moreover, once the artificial spirit rings created by Chen Ping produce skills superior to those of ordinary spirit rings, the strength of humanity will likely experience a significant boost, making the situation in the spirit beast world even more difficult!
"Well said. This time I really want to kill you. Even if the Snow Emperor and the Crimson King reside in your spiritual sea, I will still kill you."

At this moment, Di Tian exuded an extremely terrifying aura, making it incredibly difficult for Chen Ping to breathe.

"But I'm curious, what other trump cards do you have that make you so sure that even if you have the potential to create artificial spirit rings, I still won't choose to kill you?"

Chen Ping looked at Di Tian and said, word by word, "The involution has no end. If you want to truly end the long-standing feud between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, you have to look upwards."

"Tang San, who broke through the void ten thousand years ago, has already begun to plan for the entire Douluo Continent. This is true for the Soul Master world, but it is also true for your Soul Beast world. The auspicious beast should have made this very clear to you."

"The reason why the auspicious beast fell into this trap is because I wasn't careful enough. But you should also know that this plan wasn't aimed at me. Whether I'm present or not, their plans to target your Star Dou Forest won't disappear."

"Therefore, only when I conquer the God Realm and kill Tang San will your Star Dou Forest have a peaceful life. Soul beasts cannot become gods; this is the rule of the God Realm. Relying on yourselves, you can only passively take a beating."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he quietly looked at Di Tian. Di Tian's expression changed three times in a row, but in the end, he put Chen Ping back on the ground.

Di Tian couldn't verify many of the things Chen Ping said, but at least he understood a very simple truth: you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

At this moment, Tang San was that thief, the one who came and went without a trace, the one they couldn't fight back against, the one who made them unable to sleep well from then on.
