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

Chapter 860 Demon Shark Gun - Soul Devouring and Thought Stealing!
These scale-like patterns, like naturally formed magic armor, tightly cover the entire staff, shimmering with a cold, hard metallic luster.

The most astonishing change is at the tip of the staff. The originally rounded tip of the staff, under the infusion of soul bone energy, has its bone tissue spreading and reshaped.

A lifelike, imposing shark head is taking shape at the tip of the rod.

Its ferocious snout protrudes forward, revealing several sharp fangs. Two eerie blue lights, like will-o'-the-wisps, flicker in the sunken eye sockets of the shark's head, as if a sleeping deep-sea predator has opened its eyes.

A fierce, cold, and spiritual pressure originating from the ancient deep sea instantly emanated from this newly born martial spirit!
Chen Ping, who was holding the stick, felt it most deeply.

A completely new sense of power, far stronger and purer than the previous Star Tumor Staff, surged through his arm and into his limbs and bones!

This force not only possesses a destructive power capable of tearing everything apart on a physical level, but also contains a more bizarre and direct sharpness that touches the soul!
"It's done!"

Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp, dark blue light flashed deep in his pupils, as sharp as a knife, as if it could pierce through people's hearts.

The martial spirit in his hand had undergone a complete transformation—the staff was a deep, dark blue, covered with hard, scale-like patterns, and the head of the staff was a ferocious, roaring shark skull with its fangs bared, exuding an extremely menacing aura.

This is the Beast Staff - Demon Shark, evolved from the soul bone of a 300,000-year-old ferocious beast!

Impatiently, Chen Ping flicked his wrist, and the Demon Shark Staff casually slammed towards a huge, stubborn rock beside him.

Without using any soul skills, the shark fangs on the staff tip merely made a light touch.

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, the rock, as hard as refined steel, was easily pierced an inch as easily as tofu.

Rather than a staff, the martial spirit in Chen Ping's hand at this moment is more like a spear.

Just as his scale staff has now become the Mad Dragon Staff, his beast staff, to be precise, can now be called the Demon Shark Spear!

That alone wouldn't be enough to surprise Chen Ping so much.

What truly surprised him was that the moment the Shark Spear was thrust out, a gray-blue power spread along the shaft, reaching the shark-head-like tip of the spear, before returning a moment later.

"Soul Devouring... Stealing Thoughts?" Chen Ping withdrew the Demon Shark Staff, sensing the faint thoughts emanating from his Martial Soul, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"Not only does it possess extremely strong piercing effect and structural strength, but when attacking, it can also unleash the Soul Devouring and Mind Stealing effect of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan's innate talent. While fighting, it can dig out a bit of the opponent's thoughts from their head and transmit them to itself."

This effect is even greater than the effect of Xiaobai's innate abilities in his lifetime, and it is comparable to the Soul Searching Technique in its own way!
After all, no matter how powerful the soul-searching technique is, it ultimately requires completely defeating the enemy and capturing their soul before one can have the opportunity to extract every detail of the memories from their mind.

The Soul Devouring and Mind Stealing effect that comes with the Demon Shark Spear completely makes up for the shortcomings of the Soul Searching Technique. Even if he cannot defeat the enemy, as long as Chen Ping can stall for a while, there is still a considerable probability that he can directly see part of the other party's memories!

Thinking of this, Chen Ping finally nodded in satisfaction. Although the hunt for Xiaobai was risky, the rewards were immense. The soul rings and soul bones were a given, and soon the energy armor technique Xiaobai had extracted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's memories, as well as the latter's relationship with the Sea God family, would likely be delivered to him as well.

The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish—Gao Qiqiang is absolutely right!

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Dongyang City.

Although a full day had passed since Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi escaped, neither Wan Hun Douluo nor Zang E Douluo could immediately calm down.

Most of the evil spirit masters in Dongyang City were wiped out, but the culprit escaped right before their eyes.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that a plea for help also came from Oak City. This medium-sized northern city, guarded by an entire Soul Master Corps, was completely destroyed in just a few seconds. The culprit even injured the city lord and swaggered away.

Originally, Wanhun Douluo and Zange Douluo were lamenting that the northern region had been in turmoil these past two days, and that the destruction carried out by the Douluo Three Kingdoms against the Sun Moon Empire was far too fierce. They were debating whether to send some reinforcements over.

But soon, they saw the photo that came with the letter for help. The man who was unconscious on the back of the Red King was none other than Chen Ping, who had just escaped from their clutches!

Wanhun Douluo stared at the lingering image for a long time without speaking. He glanced at Zanhu Douluo before finally saying, "It seems we don't need to reinforce Oak City."

The Abomination Douluo nodded in agreement: "This person is quite cunning, and he even has two great beast souls by his side. It's a pity he has gone astray. If he were to join my Holy Sect, he would have a truly limitless future."

Upon hearing this, Wanhun Douluo said, "This is the Soul Spirit Technique that was all the rage back then. Chen Ping is quite a genius, and he's also very lucky. He even managed to find a Snow Maiden and a Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff as his Soul Spirits. Hmph."

"Speaking of which, the reason I was able to lure so many sea spirit beasts to the island at once and select the twelve strongest sea spirit beasts as my beast souls is really thanks to the soul spirit that Chen Ping created. It allowed me to mix it with the beast soul technique and fool the Sea Princess clan."

"I don't know what the difference is between his soul spirit technique and the beast soul technique. The beast souls we command are inherently low in intelligence and will occasionally rebel against their masters. The true strength they can exert is less than 30% of what they had in life."

"On the contrary, Chen Ping, although he only has two spirits, their movements are incredibly agile, and they can even use different skills depending on the situation. It's truly unbelievable!"

Upon hearing this, the Hateful Douluo grunted twice before saying, "He's just a quasi-Soul Saint. If it weren't for that woman with her freakish strength, I could have slapped him to death."

"Since this brat is so despicable, next time we encounter this little beast, we'll do our part for the leader and the others by twisting off his hands and feet and sending him over."

"Perfect. Although this kid's cultivation level isn't high, he has a very strong bloody aura. If I could eat his hand or gnaw on his thigh, it might be quite beneficial to my martial spirit."

At this point, the Abomination Douluo couldn't help but slurp his saliva, but a lot of saliva still dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the floor, making a hissing sound.

"This person's mental strength is also quite remarkable; I want his brain!"

Wanhun Douluo's face turned cold: "Anyone who can block the singing of my precious mermaid vengeful spirit must be extraordinary. When the time comes, I will extract his soul and send it up to hand over the task. I will also use his brains to cook food."
