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

Chapter 757 The Wonderful Uses of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover
"By the way, Chen Ping, how are we going to get there tomorrow? Are we continuing to fly over the sea, or have you already prepared the soul-guided shuttle?"

Wang Dong looked at the boundless sea with some curiosity and asked.

The soul-guided shuttle boat mentioned by the other party is the best choice for most soul masters when traveling alone or in small groups. It is not only fast, but also has good concealment, making it much safer than simply using a fishing boat to go out to sea.

Whether it's the Star Luo Empire or the Sun Moon Empire, although they have some soul tools for going to sea, their naval combat capabilities are still quite average. After all, no matter how strong the soul tool is, it's difficult to put up a fight against a super soul beast that is at least 50,000 years old on the high seas.

Therefore, even the Sun Moon Empire didn't really develop its maritime technology. The Dragon Abyss Ship from the first era was basically the Sun Moon Empire's top-of-the-line marine soul tool.

“Using a soul-guided shuttle? That’s not a good idea. Although our team’s configuration can handle ordinary sea spirit beasts that are 50,000 to 60,000 years old, it’s hard to say if they are older.”

"The seven of us are all proper land-based Soul Masters. If we fight in the ocean, we'll be lucky to retain 70% of our strength. And our opponents are all sea-based Soul Beasts, who are best at fighting in the ocean. If we really run into a powerful opponent, even the seven of us might not be able to come out unscathed."

After Chen Ping explained it this way, Wang Dong's face showed a hint of understanding: "So, we'll be flying all day again tomorrow? We'd better go to bed early tonight."

Before Wang Dong could finish speaking, Chen Ping took out a triangular object that emitted a faint blue light. The object floated in Chen Ping's palm and looked somewhat sacred.

Isn't this the very Ocean Heart that Electrolux replicated after obtaining a wisp of Tang San's divine power, based on the original rubbing of the Ocean God's Heart?

"Fly? What's with the flying? Tomorrow we'll take the undersea highway and go by car. We won't have to endure the wind from the sky anymore."

As he spoke, the blue light of the Heart of the Ocean in Chen Ping's hand suddenly intensified, and a bright blue triangular pattern appeared.

The Heart of the Ocean soared into the air, rising to a height of about five meters in the blink of an eye.

Under Wang Dong's astonished gaze, it rapidly expanded, growing a hundred times larger in an instant, and with a flash of blue light, it descended from the sky, enveloping the two of them.

"Let's go beachcombing."

After saying this, Chen Ping strode forward.

Wang Dong followed Chen Ping across the beach towards the sea. After walking several dozen steps, he was shocked to find that although the seawater should have reached their ankles, their feet were still on the sand.

"ah!"

Wang Dong shouted and jumped up on one leg.

Chen Ping looked down and saw that an octopus tentacle was stuck to Wang Dong'er's toes. The sticky and cold feeling startled Wang Dong.

With a look of disgust, Wang Dong removed the octopus from under his feet and looked at Chen Ping sheepishly, asking, "Um, can this be put in the seafood bucket? It's one of my spoils from beachcombing!"

"Just find a small bucket and put it in there. You can grill it yourself later. We don't eat the octopus that you stepped on."

Chen Ping chuckled and joked before continuing his journey into the depths of the sea.

Wang Dong hurriedly tossed the octopus aside and followed Chen Ping, only to realize that there was no blue light shielding them from the current, and the seawater was already waist-deep. At the edge of the blue light, Wang Dong could only hear the splashing sound of water, but not a single drop of water entered the interior protected by the Heart of the Ocean.

"My God, Chen Ping, you have such a powerful soul tool, how come you've been hiding it and never used it?"

Wang Dong was shocked. With such a water-repelling artifact, they could walk all the way to the Sun Moon Empire underwater without any problem. Why would they need to consider taking a boat or flying there?

Traveling by boat makes it easy to encounter sea spirit beasts, and flying over might also result in being attacked by seabird spirit beasts if you're unlucky. But underwater, Wang Dong really doesn't know what kind of sea spirit beasts would be squatting at the very bottom of the ocean.

At the very bottom of the ocean, in eternal darkness, only the lowest level decomposers, who are not even considered soul beasts, exist. They feed on the corpses of plankton and the remnants of soul beasts that fall from the surface of the sea, and cannot sustain any truly large sea soul beasts.

"That's why I said we don't need to fly tomorrow, so you can rest and recuperate. I said we'd take the underwater highway, so you can just wait."

"Now, quickly open your eyes wide and look around for any seafood you can catch. Hey, there's a cat's eye snail on your right, did you see it?"

Chen Ping explained to Wang Dong briefly, then used both hands to grab seafood from the rocks about ten meters underwater beside the shore. Before long, he had caught more than a dozen lobsters as thick as his arm.

Lobsters have all their muscles inside their shells, and they can fly dozens of meters in the water in a flash, as fast as teleportation.

But as soon as Chen Ping's Heart of the Ocean arrived, it instantly pushed away all the nearby seawater. No matter how much the lobster could jump, how far could it jump on a dry coral reef? It was easily captured by Chen Ping.

If the lobsters were like this, then the other seafood from the sea must be even more impressive. When everyone had prepared the barbecue grill, they were all dumbfounded to see Chen Ping and Wang Dong each carrying two buckets of seafood, which probably weighed close to 200 pounds in total.

"If I had a soul tool like that, I could earn several gold soul coins every day just by fishing at sea, right?"

Huo Yuhao quickly finished processing the lobsters and other seafood. Listening to Wang Dong chattering and describing his previous experience at sea with Chen Ping, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It might be worth dozens of gold soul coins."

Chen Ping laughed, picked up a small pair of scissors, snipped a few times, removed the shrimp vein, and peeled off the shell of a lobster as thick as an arm.

"My Heart of the Ocean was made according to the legacy left by the Sea God. It not only has single-target and group attack, stealth and defense skills, but most importantly, this soul tool can automatically recharge in seawater."

"If you make a living by fishing with this, it's not difficult to catch several thousand kilograms of seafood a day, since you don't have to worry about charging it."

"We'll be traveling tomorrow, and we'll need this thing's underwater automatic charging feature to ensure that even if we travel all day, we won't suddenly run out of energy."

After Chen Ping's explanation, everyone learned about his plans for tomorrow and couldn't help but get excited.

A sumptuous seafood feast washed away the fatigue of a long day, allowing everyone to enjoy seafood to their heart's content.

After the meal, there was no need to set up tents; everyone simply gathered around the campfire and meditated. One person took turns keeping watch each hour.
