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

Chapter 756 Rippling Waves, Sunset at Sea

Chen Ping and his group did not fly directly towards the Sun Moon Empire, but instead flew south for a while first.

South of Shrek Academy lies the Star Dou Great Forest, and beyond the Star Dou Great Forest lies the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, he couldn't possibly fly directly over the Star Dou Great Forest with his companions.

Therefore, after approaching the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Ping turned and continued flying southwest, entering the territory of the Star Luo Empire about several dozen miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, and then continued south.

The flight speed of the level seven flying soul tool was simply too fast. After more than an hour, they had already penetrated nearly 500 miles into the heart of the Star Luo Empire.

As they continued their southward migration, the temperature gradually rose.

He Caitou couldn't help but ask Chen Ping, "Which way are we going? I feel like we're going the wrong way."

Chen Ping said, "That's right. This time, we're going to take a long detour before entering the Sun Moon Empire. It will take a bit longer, but that's the only way to ensure the success of our plan."

They set off in the morning and didn't land until noon to rest.

While eating and drinking, everyone replaced a batch of sealed milk bottles on their flying soul tools.

Having a sealed baby bottle is so convenient. Although they flew for several hours, their soul power was hardly depleted.

Chen Ping took out a map and examined it carefully, nodding occasionally.

He Caitou was standing not far from him, his gaze fixed on Chen Ping.

He was well aware of Chen Ping's individual combat skills, so he wasn't worried that Chen Ping would take the wrong route. However, judging from the way Chen Ping was leading them forward, they seemed to be flying towards the sea!
After resting for an hour, they set off again. This time, Chen Ping adjusted the direction more and more frequently.

Soon, even the others, who weren't very good at finding their way around, realized that the places they flew over were mostly open fields or farmland, and they hadn't passed through any cities at all.

Everyone quickly guessed Chen Ping's intention in doing this. This guy didn't even trust the Star Luo Empire, fearing that there were high-ranking generals in their main city who were spies of the Sun Moon Empire.

Because, just in case, the route Chen Ping chose for them this time was not only to avoid the Sun Moon Empire, but also to avoid the people of the Star Luo Empire.

And so, Chen Ping led the group in flight for half a day, until it gradually got dark, at which point they reduced their speed and prepared to land.

But at that moment, Wang Dong suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what's that over there?"

Everyone instinctively looked ahead and gazed into the distance, their hearts filled with awe.

It was a golden world, with countless dazzling golden lights shining at the horizon, and the sun slowly setting amidst this brilliance.

A smile appeared on Chen Ping's lips; he had finally arrived at his initial destination.

"That's the ocean, what's the big deal! When the sun sets, the sunlight reflects off the sea, and that's what it looks like."

Wu Feng explained.

Ning Tian gazed into the distance, his eyes also becoming misty. "The sunset over the sea is always so beautiful, no matter how many times I see it..."

Yes, what they saw was the sea, or more precisely, the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire. After six hours of full-speed flight, they had departed from Shrek City and traversed the entire territory of the Star Luo Empire, arriving at the South China Sea coast from the northern border of the Star Luo Empire.

Although Chen Ping's leadership led them on many detours, bypassing all the cities, they still managed to arrive before sunset.

"I... I can't say I haven't seen the sea. You guys have traveled all over the country and been everywhere. You should be more understanding of what a homebody like me thinks."

Wang Dong weakly defended herself, saying that her cultivation level in previous years was only so-so, and at the same time, she had been resisting the soul tool because of the unknown thing in her head. Unless someone took her out, she would definitely have to stay at home obediently!
Chen Ping said, "This should be the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire. After a day of flying, we have already traversed the entire Star Luo territory."

"Tomorrow, we will set sail and then take a roundabout route across the sea to enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire."

Although Ning Tian wasn't very good with directions, he still had some basic map knowledge. He was immediately dumbfounded and said, "Why are you going in such a big circle? What are you trying to do?"

Chen Ping said, "In order to enter the Sun Moon Empire in the safest way, we have no choice but to do this. Now, the borders of the Sun Moon Empire are probably completely covered by soul-guided detection devices. It is impossible to cross the border directly without being detected."

"Therefore, Elder Xuan decided that this rescue operation would be carried out in two ways: one overt and one covert. The academy's experts would be the overt team, while we would be the covert team."

"Elder Xuan and the others are responsible for drawing the attention of the Sun Moon Empire. Our goal is simply to save people, purely to save people."

Ning Tian gasped. "There must be at least a hundred people captured, if not four or five hundred. Do you think we, with just a few of us, can rescue them all?"

Chen Ping chuckled and said, "If you think it's impossible, the enemy will naturally think it's impossible too. As long as they can keep an eye on Elder Xuan and the academy's higher-ups, their defenses at the rear will naturally become lax."

"And you forgot one thing: the people we're trying to rescue aren't ordinary people; each of them possesses considerable combat capabilities!"

"As long as we can enter the Sun Moon Empire's territory silently and without warning when it is completely unprepared, our plan will be half successful."

Ning Tian's heart stirred, and he vaguely understood the goals and plans that had been set this time.

Chen Ping shouted, "Everyone, give it your all! We'll fly to the seaside and rest today. Tonight we'll catch some sea fish and have a barbecue. I've asked Yuhao to cook."

After a long day, the allure of food undoubtedly surpasses anything else.

Upon hearing this, everyone's flying speed noticeably increased. They shot off like arrows towards the shimmering sea.

The saying "Looking at a mountain makes your horse run itself to death" is indeed very true. From the time they saw the coastline to when they flew to the beach, it took them another half an hour. By the time they landed on the beach, it was completely dark.

"Someone come with me to catch fish, and the rest of you help Yuhao gather the ingredients for the barbecue."

After saying this, Chen Ping walked towards the sea, and Wang Dong, a girl who had never seen the sea before, hurriedly followed him.

"How do I catch them? I can't wait!"

Wang Dong gripped the Haotian Hammer, his eyes brimming with eagerness.

"Are you here to catch fish or to fry them? Are you going to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique later?"

Chen Ping was somewhat amused and exasperated. This wasn't a privately contracted fishpond or small lake where a few soul skills could stun a whole group of fish.
