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

Chapter 837 Dragon Valley Key
"Dragon Ball?"

Chen Ping's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously thought that the other party was talking about the Dragon Balls that could summon the dragon and grant wishes when all seven were collected. However, when Chen Ping looked over, he saw only a white bead the size of a jujube, covered with dragon patterns and radiating a faint dragon aura.

What are Dragon Balls?

Chen Ping blinked. This thing didn't seem like something that appeared during the first and second seasons of the game. He had almost no recollection of it.

When Vice Sect Master Yu Gangfeng asked the question, he slowly replied, "We can't be sure about this either. We can only guess that this Dragon Pearl might be a product of a giant dragon with spatial attributes that is over 100,000 years old and has died."

"This Dragon Ball is worn close to the body and can be connected with spiritual power. Once you reach a place that is compatible, it will lead you into a mysterious space, similar to the mesospace that only immortals in legends can control. It contains mountains, rivers, plains and valleys, and various elemental powers converge and mix, which can well nourish the soul master's body."

“Since the Dragon Pearl was first obtained by our Tianlong Sect, over the past few thousand years, seventeen or eighteen people have had the good fortune to enter that mysterious place. The various dragon scales that you saw earlier, young friend Chen, were all taken from that mysterious place.”

"According to the speculation of my sect's elders, that mysterious place probably buries countless dragons, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it Dragon Valley or Dragon Tomb."

"Unfortunately, the dangers within Dragon Valley are considerable. Even ordinary Soul Douluos and Title Douluos risk perishing there. Furthermore, the Dragon Ball, which allows people to travel into the mystical realm each time, imposes significant limitations on their Soul Power level."

"With good luck, you might be able to enter as a Soul Saint, but if you're unlucky, even Soul Masters above level 30 can't get into this mysterious place."

"Therefore, although my Heavenly Dragon Sect has retrieved a great many dragon scales from that mysterious place, the most dragon pearls that can help a Soul Master travel between the two regions by chance are only three. In addition, the probability of encountering danger when entering Dragon Valley is far greater than that of your school's inspection team mission. After so many years, only this one dragon pearl is still in the sect."

"Moreover, there is an extremely mysterious power in Dragon Valley that can penetrate the bodies of Soul Masters who enter the valley, making it impossible to use their Soul Power or even summon their Martial Soul. This further reduces the self-defense capabilities of Soul Masters who enter Dragon Valley."

"Dragon Valley?!"

After listening to what the vice sect leader Yu Gangfeng said, Chen Ping finally realized what the dragon pearl he was talking about was. Wasn't that the key to enter Dragon Valley?

In the original story, Tang Wulin seems to have participated in the Dragon Valley operation of the Tang Sect's Fighting Soul Hall by using the Dragon Ball to travel freely back and forth in the spatial rift.

However, at that time, the Tang Sect seemed to have mastered a fairly stable point of spatial warping, and the energy intensity contained in that spatial rift was just below level fifty.

Looking at the present, it would be incredibly difficult for Tianlongmen to make a trip to and from Dragon Valley.

Not only can one rely on luck to find a randomly spawned spatial rift that can teleport to Dragon Valley, but one's level also has to be just right.

Moreover, even if a Soul Master who possesses a Dragon Ball is lucky enough to meet all the requirements, what they can gain after entering, and whether they can come back alive, are all uncertain.

It's true that if you encounter danger and activate the Dragon Balls, you can teleport back on your own. However, that's only if you immediately retreat after sensing danger, not if you can instantly activate the Dragon Balls and leave Dragon Valley the moment you feel like you're about to die in the middle of a fight.

“Yes, we do currently prefer to call this place Dragon Valley.” The old sect leader nodded and said, “In Dragon Valley, the most abundant creatures are Dragon Cloud and Dragon Soul.”

"Dragon souls vary in strength. Compared to dragon clouds, their energy level is lower, but they still possess a certain level of consciousness."

"Most dragon souls are very aggressive. If you encounter them and can defeat them, the dragon's aura will merge into your body and improve your physique."

"Even if you're lucky enough to defeat a dragon soul whose attributes are perfectly compatible with your own, you might be able to directly trigger the evolution of your own martial soul by absorbing the dragon's aura."

As he spoke, the other party stretched out his hand, and his right arm not only became thicker, but also had incandescent lightning flowing across it, with a strong aura of light and the power of lightning flowing through his right arm.

"I was fortunate enough to defeat three dragon souls of the Light attribute in Dragon Valley during my youth, and absorbed their aura. As a result, my martial soul evolved by half a level and became the Light Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus."

"Although my martial spirit is far inferior to Elder Mu's Holy Light Dragon martial spirit, it is still a path of acquired martial spirit transformation."

"Therefore, I would like to give you this Dragon Ball first. Your esteemed institution can then study its wonders. If it can be mass-produced, that would be even better."

"If fate allows, you can use it for a while. Who knows, you might be able to enter the deepest part of Dragon Valley and obtain a treasure protected by the soul of a true dragon."

"Once you have figured out the Dragon Ball, you can hand it over to the young Tianlong. Consider it a reward for inviting you here, young friend, to repay a debt of gratitude, but also to ask you to take in the disciples of my Tianlong Sect."

With a serious expression, Chen Ping accepted the dragon ball from the other person's hand and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. I will take care of your sect's young disciples. Once they arrive at Shrek Academy, I will find them a good place to settle down. If any of them are willing to work, they can come to Shrek and Dan Pavilion to do what they can."

Chen Ping acted swiftly. After promising the old sect leader that he would take care of all the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he immediately sent a message to Shrek Academy, specifically setting aside a hotel to accommodate the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earthly Dragon Sect.

Although Chen Ping had advised the older generation of experts from both sects to retreat together, arguing that as long as they survived, they would have plenty of opportunities to rebuild, none of them chose to leave.

In their words, even if they were to leave, it would only be after the city had fallen. If the people of the Sun Moon Empire hadn't come, they would have fled like stray dogs, and they would have been ashamed of their ancestors.

Therefore, Chen Ping only made arrangements for the two sects and inquired about the precautions for entering Dragon Valley from the old sect master before leaving Dragon City. He headed north and plunged into the far north before turning around and heading towards the territory of the Sun Moon Empire.

Although entering Dragon Valley can bring considerable opportunities, and with good luck you might even find a Soul Bone, whether you're lucky enough to find the warped point in the space that connects to the Dragon Tomb still depends on luck.

Therefore, Chen Ping did not intend to suppress his level. He naturally put the Dragon Ball around his neck and continued on his way. If he was lucky enough to encounter a rift that he could enter, he would certainly take a trip. But if he did not encounter one, he would not force it.
