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

Chapter 866 Finding a Treasure
"Shall I cook you a couple more dishes?"

Chen Ping rolled his eyes in annoyance, leaped off the boat, and then reached out to retrieve the boat into his storage soul tool.

It was only because Lan Fuzi reacted quickly, jumping with her rice bowl in her hand, that she didn't fall into the water. Angered, she tilted her head back and poured the hot and sour noodles into her mouth before glaring hatefully at Chen Ping.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's get ready to fly forward. The islands ahead are getting bigger and bigger, and it would be too much trouble to take a detour."

Chen Ping looked around at the island beneath his feet. The island he was standing on was the size of seven or eight playgrounds, and as far as the eye could see, there were places even larger than this island everywhere.

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Lan Fuzi reluctantly put away his rice bowl and followed Chen Ping forward.

However, they hadn't flown for long when a huge iceberg appeared in front of them, and from a distant iceberg, cold gazes were looking in their direction.

They were enormous marine creatures, numbering in the hundreds, all lying prone on an iceberg.

"Finally found."

Chen Ping's eyes lit up when he saw those long, black, gray-spotted lumps that were often five or six meters long.

"What did you find?"

Lan Fuzi was taken aback. Following Chen Ping's gaze, he saw a series of completely black soul beasts of varying sizes, the largest being over ten meters long, their bodies radiating a pale blue aura. Each one had two long, sharp fangs protruding from its mouth.

"Is this... a sea monster?"

Even when Lan Fuzi comes to Iceland to find Liya, she usually swims over from the seabed, so she is not very aware that these creatures, who mostly prefer to lie on the ice, are the guards and relatives of the Sea Princess's clan.

The Sea Elephant is a relatively docile soul beast, its most notable characteristic being its strong defensive capabilities. An adult Sea Elephant can exceed seven meters in length, and "adult" means having cultivated for over a hundred years.

Its massive seven-meter-long body is extremely robust, with skin alone exceeding ten centimeters in thickness.

Their skin is extremely tough, providing strong resistance to any physical attack. And the sea monsters of this icy sea likely possess extremely high resistance to both ice and fire attacks.

Of course, every spirit beast has its strengths and weaknesses. Compared to its powerful defense, its attack power and speed are its shortcomings.

"Yes, I have another matter to attend to when I came to the Ice Sea this time, and that is to get to them."

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Lan Fuzi felt a surge of tension: "Are you going to hunt them?"

For Lan Fuzi, there is one thing she has to face when making friends with humans: what stance should she take when humans hunt soul beasts?
Although as a being standing at the top of the food chain in the ocean, the number of soul beasts she killed might be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more than Chen Ping, Lan Fuzi always felt that something was wrong when she actually watched Chen Ping hunt down the sea demon elephant.

"If you just want the tusks of the sea monster, I still have some in my lair."

Lan Fuzi thought for a moment and said.

"Oh no, I didn't come here to hunt them." Chen Ping smiled slightly: "These sea demon elephants are all of average cultivation level. The strongest of them are only ten thousand years old, and there are three of them. The rest have all kinds of cultivation levels, including ten years old. It seems that this place should be their habitat."

"I've come here to purchase goods from them. The Sea Elephant Clan possesses a treasure that I desperately need right now."

"Baby, what baby?"

As Lan Fuzi and Chen Ping talked, they flew forward, about to fly over the iceberg where the demon elephants lived.

Just then, suddenly, the sea monsters each took out a strange object.

They were large conch shells that appeared to be a pale gold color. A total of twelve sea monsters took out these conch shells and blew on them forcefully, producing a low "whooshing" sound.

As soon as the "whooshing" sound rang out, Lan Fuzi's expression changed, because she clearly felt the air around her suddenly tighten, and then all the air currents seemed to disappear, and her body began to fall uncontrollably.

"This is the treasure."

Chen Ping's body was also falling uncontrollably, feeling as if there was no air around him and he was being pulled downwards by gravity.

In Chen Ping's previous life, the only extreme sport he could experience was stratospheric skydiving sponsored by Red Bull. Chen Ping never expected that he would have the opportunity to experience it in his lifetime.

Falling from a height of thousands of meters would probably turn an ordinary Soul Saint into mincemeat, and even a Title Douluo would likely suffer greatly from such a fall.

After all, this is far more terrifying than Tang San's freefall from Ghost's Sorrow in his previous life. According to the formula for freefall distance, that is, jumping from a height of about 1,800 meters and falling for 19 seconds.

"Rumble--"

"Rumble--"

With two loud bangs, Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi landed on the ice floe almost simultaneously. The enormous impact of their freefall even caused terrifying cracks, like a spider web, to spread across the ice surface for dozens of meters.

The twelve sea monsters that had been blowing the golden conch shell were slightly taken aback when they saw that the group had landed safely.

How is it possible that they fell from a height of thousands of meters and were completely unharmed? Are these two guys' bodies made of tungsten steel or something?
One of the sea elephants roared to the sky, and immediately, the twelve strongest sea elephants surrounded Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi's position. The other sea elephants, however, frantically flapped their forelimbs and tails, twisting and turning as they fled towards the distant sea.

Although these soul beasts are easily preyed upon entering the sea, a simple truth is that there are very few beings in the ocean that are as unharmed as these two who fell from thousands of meters in the air without protection!
For these sea demon elephants, whose cultivation is less than ten thousand years old, the probability of being killed by powerful predators as soon as they enter the sea is much lower than the risk of facing these two beings with bodies so strong they don't seem like 'humans'.

Moreover, this is a sea area controlled by the Sea Princess clan.

As for the twelve most powerful sea demon elephants, they surrounded Chen Ping without hesitation, trying to buy some time for the weaker members of their tribe to go back and report the news.

"You bastards, I think you're tired of living. Today I'm going to skin you alive and make a coat out of your skin!"

Lan Fuzi, who had originally wanted to persuade Chen Ping to stop committing murder, was blown down from the sky by the group of sea demon elephants. He was immediately enraged and took out his pair of octagonal plum blossom hammers, intending to smash them.
