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

Chapter 867 I originally wanted to shout at them

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ping quickly reached out and stopped the enraged Lan Fuzi.

If Lan Fuzi were to act recklessly and fight his way through, his mission in the Ice Sea today would basically be ruined.

"Sea Elephant, don't rush to attack. You should know that even if you all rush at us at once, you are no match for us."

"Moreover, we have no ill intentions. Our purpose in coming to the Ice Sea is to visit the Sea Princess clan."

The sea monster had only tens of thousands of years of cultivation and clearly did not yet have the ability to speak. However, there was no problem communicating with it mentally.

The enormous sea monster roared angrily. It swung the golden conch shell it held in its forelimbs forcefully, then emitted a "whooshing" sound.

"You will all die! You dare to come looking for the Sea Princess. Once you enter the Ice Sea World, you will all die!"

Its words were somewhat incoherent, but Chen Ping clearly sensed an extremely strong hostility.

Chen Ping realized at this moment that his words were an attempt to cover up for the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's mistake. Given the latter's actions of killing a large number of Ice Sea Soul Beasts, it was no wonder that the latter would listen to him.

Fortunately, Chen Ping had prepared several gifts in order to meet the Sea Princess clan. Therefore, when the leading sea spirit beast saw two black shadows flash in front of Chen Ping, it instinctively wanted to attack. But when it looked closely, it saw two human heads.

"These are the heads of two Holy Spirit Cult elders I just killed less than half a day ago. These two guys should be the murderers who lured and killed many of your sea spirit beasts before. I've brought their heads to you."

"As for the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo among these two, many of the vengeful spirits he controlled were the sea spirit beasts of your Sea Demon Elephant Clan. I purified them all and sent them back to heaven as a token of my sincerity."

Chen Ping's words caused the blue light flashing on the leading sea spirit beast to fade, and the ice bullets that were already brewing in its mouth froze. After a long while, it finally spat them into the sky.

These ice projectiles were entirely ice-blue, and as they streaked through the air, they exhibited a distinct and intense fluctuation of soul power.

This is an Ice Blast Bomb! One of the Sea Elephant's most proficient soul skills, and also their innate soul skill.

These ice bombs flew into the air and exploded in an instant, turning into ice fireworks. Even Chen Ping, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but marvel at this sight.

"It really is those two people's heads?"

The spiritual energy fluctuations of the leading sea demon elephant were intermittent, carrying a hint of disbelief and surprise.

The other sea monsters, which had already silently completed their encirclement of the two, instinctively stretched their non-existent necks upon hearing this, looking at the two heads. Their eyes, which had initially been filled with pure hostility and anger, transformed into identical disbelief and joy.

"Humph."

Seeing that Chen Ping had so easily persuaded the sea demon elephants, Lan Fuzi snorted coldly. Although he put away his octagonal plum blossom hammer, the aura of the sea beast king emanated from his body without any concealment. The sea demon elephants were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Some of the sea demon elephants that had not jumped into the sea were so scared that they urinated.

"Hai, Lord Sea Beast King."

The leader was startled when he sensed the aura suddenly emanating from Lan Fuzi.

"Do you believe we have no hostility this time?" Lan Fuzi's expression still carried a hint of displeasure, while the sea demon elephant nodded vigorously, not daring to reply.

If it had a cultivation of 100,000 years, its answer would probably be hard to say. After all, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan spends most of its time in the deep sea and doesn't prey on the Sea Demon Elephant Clan, it doesn't mean that they are not on the other side's menu. If they are starving, they will eat them without hesitation.

"Don't be so nervous. I've come here to buy some of these giant conch shells that you use to take back for research, and also to pay a visit to the Sea Princess."

"conch?"

The leading sea monster paused for a moment, looked at the conch shell in its hand, and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping took the heavy, pale golden conch shell from the other person's hand. Each one must weigh at least several hundred pounds. He subconsciously examined it carefully and immediately discovered that the conch shells were engraved with a large number of intricate runes.

"Soul guide?"

Chen Ping was taken aback when he saw the runes on the conch shell, and then shook his head.

No, it's not a soul tool. Although these runes look somewhat similar to the patterns of a soul guidance array, they look more like the patterns on the Heart of the Ocean!

Yes.

Chen Ping's eyes lit up. No wonder the Heart of the Ocean had the special effect of almost unconditionally squeezing out seawater. This kind of almost unreasonable ability was very similar to the almost unreasonable anti-air ability on the Sea Elephant Conch in front of him.
"This is a conch shell made for us by Her Highness the Sea Princess, a treasure used to protect the icy sea and defend against invaders."

The intermittent spiritual energy from the sea demon elephant made Chen Ping's eyes light up.

If this peculiar ability truly originates from the Sea Princess clan, then the gains he can obtain from this trip to the Sea Princess clan will be even greater.

"Leader of the Sea Demon Elephant, if I may ask, how many anti-air conch shells does your clan possess?"

"This..." The Sea Demon Elephant leader hesitated for a moment and said, "There are probably less than a hundred, but most of them have been hidden by us. Sea Demon Elephants with less than ten thousand years of cultivation cannot drive such powerful magical artifacts, so we can only use these twelve at present."

“Those two despicable humans killed many of our kind. Originally, there weren’t so few of the sea demon elephants in our race that could activate the conch shell.”

At this point, the Sea Elephant leader's tone became somewhat dejected, and he glared hatefully at the two human heads on the ground.

"Then I wonder if the leader could sell me one of these conch shells? Of course, I will give you a reasonable price."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping took out a small piece of crystal.

The sea elephant leader was about to refuse Chen Ping's words. Although it did have control over these conch shells and losing one or two wouldn't be a big deal, it still subconsciously resisted selling its own clan's treasures to humans.

Moreover, what meaning do human currencies have to them? Gold coins are cold and hard. Some dragon-type spirit beasts might like them, but on Iceland, cold and hard things are the least of their worries!
However, before the sea monster leader could utter a word of refusal, its eyes were fixed on Chen Ping's right hand, or more precisely, on the crystal on his right hand that emanated an extremely terrifying chill.

Ten thousand! Years! Mysterious! Ice! Marrow!
The moment the Sea Demon Elephant leader saw this thing, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

This human is actually willing to exchange the incomparably precious Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow for a No-Flight Conch; he must be insane!
