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

Chapter 899 Natural Disaster Strikes (8K)

"What is this?!"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons was utterly shocked. The number of undead before him was simply too great—five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even more.

Among these undead are the lowest-ranking skeletons, as well as liches, headless horsemen, zombies, and banshees.

If it were just so many undead creatures, it wouldn't be enough to shock and horrify the Demon King. What truly terrified him was that these undead creatures were equipped with at least one melee and one ranged soul tool, powered by milk bottles, and were recklessly unleashing their firepower on the beast tide.

The officials of the Sun Moon Empire had always fantasized about how powerful soul tools would become after the invention of the sealed milk bottle, and what a joyful day that would be. They never considered that, compared to flesh-and-blood humans, the fearless undead creatures were actually more suited to fighting with sealed milk bottles and soul tools.

Ordinary skeleton soldiers might not even be able to defeat a peasant woman with a pitchfork or a human child wielding a wooden stick, but when everyone uses sealed baby bottles and soul tools in combat, the pitifully low base stats of ordinary skeleton soldiers become insignificant.

The beast tide was indeed ferocious, but these undead creatures were even more fearless than the soul beasts. They had no concept of pain or fear; they simply attacked relentlessly.

Do you remember those underground warehouses near the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that Chen Ping turned upside down, enough to arm several Soul Master Corps? At this moment, the undead army is mostly equipped with low-level Soul Guidance Devices that can be used by second-ring Great Soul Masters.

Even so, when tens of thousands of level-two soul tools were equipped on the undead army, the destructive power they displayed was truly enough to be called a natural disaster.

At the end of the beast tide, many powerful soul beasts unleashed their soul skills, charging towards the undead army. Often, a single soul skill would blow dozens of skeleton soldiers into the air, their bones shattering.

However, as long as the soul fire inside the skulls of these skeleton soldiers is not extinguished, this level of attack will not have any substantial impact.

The skeleton soldiers landed on the ground, casually using their soulfire to sense the nearby bones, rummaging around and attaching them to their bodies, before continuing their advance towards the beast tide.

As for the skeletons who couldn't find all their body parts, they simply clung to nearby skeletons and continued firing relentlessly at the distant beast horde.

Chen Ping chose a very clever position; when the battle began, he attacked from a position between the west and the north.

The two soul beasts, who were under the command of the Demon King and Zi Ji respectively, would naturally fight back when attacked. However, because they were attacking the city with all their might, they did not coordinate with each other and were unable to organize an effective resistance for a time.

The spirit beasts lagging behind were weaker, most of them only ten or a hundred years old. After the undead army stormed in, they seemed to have an unstoppable momentum.

At the very rear of the undead army, beside Chen Ping, several undead gates were frantically swallowing up the undead army.

Since receiving the gift from the Sea Princess, his mental strength has risen to another level, and the number and duration of the summoned Gates of the Dead have also increased by a whole level.

Watching the horde of beasts surge towards the end of the beast tide, and all the soul beasts killed by the undead legion staggered to their feet again, transforming into part of the Scourge Legion and tearing at the remaining soul beasts, Chen Ping sighed slightly.

This is not the perfect Scourge army he envisioned.

Artificial spirit ring technology is still immature, and low-speed spirit core technology has not been widely adopted. This has resulted in most of the undead in the undead army being somewhat weaker. If these two technologies were fully mature by now, even without spirit tools, the undead army's actual combat power could be significantly enhanced, and the skeleton soldiers wouldn't be so easily torn to pieces by any spirit skill.

In addition, he obtained the almost inexhaustible deep-sea silver from the Sea Princess clan. If all of it were made into deep-sea silver armor and mass-produced for undead warriors, even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts or five-ring soul kings would be helpless against a basic skeleton soldier, Iron Turtle.

At that time, Chen Ping is confident that he can single-handedly defeat the entire beast tide.

Unfortunately, the beast tide launched by Star Dou Forest came too suddenly, giving Chen Ping no chance to develop the undead army to its peak.

Even so, this fearless undead legion, equipped with soul tools and possessing the ability to transform into undead, still terrified the soul beasts.

Brigitte also saw the changes in the northwest direction from the air.

The message was relayed among the spirit beasts, and she quickly learned the details. In an instant, the emerald swan's beautiful face turned deathly pale.

Where did this army of undead come from? Are they controlled by humans? If they are, how terrifying is that!

Looking at the dead soul beasts, her heart ached terribly. The losses this time had far exceeded their initial expectations.

Beast God Di Tian knew that Shrek Academy was a formidable opponent, which is why he personally took action immediately to eliminate the strongest fighting force in Shrek City as quickly as possible.

Now, the plains surrounding Shrek City are littered with the corpses of spirit beasts. Some spirit rings have just extinguished due to time, and new spirit rings are already floating out from the dead spirit beasts.

Even if we win this battle, so what? Can we still directly invade the human world and weaken humanity as much as possible, just like we initially imagined?
It's no longer possible.

Brigitte knew very well that even if they won this battle, the spirit beasts wouldn't gain much. After all, there wasn't much in the human world that spirit beasts would cherish. They were simply fighting for their own living space.

But what can they do after this battle? Fight again? Unless they don't want the Star Dou Great Forest to continue, the only result of another battle will be extinction.

Di Tian is strong, but one Di Tian cannot possibly stand against the entire world!

Brigitte was completely bewildered and could only direct her people to unleash healing soul skills to save their lives as much as possible.

The battle of the undead army continued, although due to their weak defenses, they were almost unable to withstand the attacks of the soul beasts head-on.

However, as more and more soul beasts were killed and transformed into undead to join the battle, a sense of fear spread among the beast tide.

Facing the undead legion felt very different from fighting the Shrek City Guard. If you really had to find a comparison, it would probably be the trap soul tools that were displayed on the first day at the South Wall of Shrek.

Yes, what is the real difference between these undead creatures who have no idea what death is and who will not retreat an inch, and the overwhelming traps and soul-guided devices that would bring no joy even if they were killed?
Perhaps so. After all, soul beasts killed by trap soul tools won't be transformed into new trap soul tools, but soul beasts killed by undead creatures will be transformed into undead creatures.
