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

Chapter 137 The Soul Devouring Blade Arrives
"Good! Good! Good!"

Qian Duoduo immediately smiled and said three good words in a row.

Damn it, after all this effort, I finally managed to trick this kid Chen Ping into joining my team.

Chen Ping was also very happy at this time.

Being a disciple of the dean of the Soul Guidance Department is a very prestigious title.

In my previous life, I never had another bottle of drink, the game lottery only gave out guaranteed prizes, and I ate instant noodles without seasoning packets. Now, after all the hard work, I’ve finally got my reward!
For a moment, both Chen Ping and Qian Duoduo were secretly delighted, feeling that they had made a huge profit.

"master?"

Chen Ping looked at Qian Duoduo tentatively and called out.

"Hey! Good disciple!"

Qian Duoduo happily agreed and began to imagine how proud he would be to have trained a ninth-level soul engineer with his own hands.

"Master, do you have a gift? I heard that if you have multiple apprentices, you should have some kind of gift."

As soon as Chen Ping said the second half of the sentence, Qian Duoduo's face froze.

Well, it costs money to raise an apprentice, and I haven’t done anything yet. I have to give him a gift first.

Qian Duoduo rubbed his hand on the storage ring and took out a palm-sized golden crystal.

"That depends on your eyesight. If you can recognize what this crystal is, it will be yours. But if you can't recognize it..."

"Golden crystal, a special golden crystal used to make invincible shields, a specialty of the Sun-Moon Empire. A piece this big is worth about 40,000 gold soul coins."

"Master, you are so generous. I feel so embarrassed."

Before Qian Duoduo finished speaking, Chen Ping had already given the answer. He kept a straight face to prevent himself from laughing, and took away the golden crystal that he had not yet warmed up from Qian Duoduo's painful gaze.

If Qian Duoduo used this golden crystal to test other young soul mentors, they might really be stumped.

After all, this thing is a specialty of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the real thing is basically nowhere to be seen on the Douluo Continent. Even if you have seen an introduction to this crystal in a book, you probably won't be able to recognize it.

But Chen Ping had a system. He spent a total of two points to analyze what this thing was, and then gave an answer based on the introduction to the golden crystal he had read.

[Ding——Your total personal property value +40000]

After putting the golden crystal into the storage soul guide, Chen Ping felt as if his system was ringing a prompt sound.

"Ahem, you have the meeting gift, but what about the apprenticeship gift?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Chen Ping with some dissatisfaction. This kid's ability to extort money was even better than his?

"Hehe, in a couple of days when I send Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, I'll also send some to you."

Chen Ping immediately handed over a gift that would make Qian Duoduo most satisfied.

When Qian Duoduo attended the Poseidon Pavilion meeting before, he was very greedy when he saw Mu Lao eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Now he has something to eat - well, the best way to eat it is to take it to Yan Shaozhe.

After accepting Qian Duoduo, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, as his master, Chen Ping suddenly felt that he could walk with the wind.

No wonder Dai Huabin, Ning Tian and other second-generation people walk so confidently. It really feels different to walk when you have a backer!
Chen Ping and Wu Feng had just picked up Ning Tian from the entrance of Class 3 after school. They arrived at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's small shop in Shrek City, a familiar sight.

"Mr. Chen, this is the item you ordered. Please inspect it."

At this time, in the small shop of Jiubao Liuli Sect, the clerk who had helped Chen Ping recycle rare metals before placed a small box made of Yanyang fine iron and a broken storage ring on a tray and handed it to Chen Ping.

"Ok?"

Because he recognized the material of the box, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The rare metal used to make this box is Yanyang Refined Iron, a high-end material for making fire-attributed close-body soul guides.

The boxes on the tray looked like they weighed at least several kilograms, and the price was probably no less than five thousand gold soul coins.

As if he could read Chen Ping's mind, the clerk gently pointed to the broken storage ring on the tray and said, "This box is sold with the official carving knife from Starlight Auction House."

"We once tried to take just the carving knife, but it seems to contain a murderous aura. Only by placing it in a box with this special quality can we prevent the aura from escaping to a certain extent and prevent it from damaging the storage ring."

"Because of this, we had no choice but to pay extra money to buy the box, and only then was we able to bring the carving knife back successfully."

Hearing this, Chen Ping felt helpless. He had never expected that the Soul Devouring Blade would damage the storage soul guide during the long-distance transportation process. Now he would have to spend extra money.
But these are all trivial matters. Opening the small box made of Yan Yang fine iron in front of you will reveal a carving knife lying quietly inside the box.

The carving knife is about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger.

From bottom to top, it changes from wide to narrow. The top is a sharp-looking tip, and the bottom is a sharp blade about half an inch wide.

The whole is simple and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it. It exudes a light ancient atmosphere, but also a bit gloomy.

There’s no doubt about it, it’s the Soul-Devouring Blade!

Chen Ping took a deep breath and cautiously hovered his hand over the carving knife for a while. Sure enough, he felt the evil spirit described in the original book entering his body at an extremely fast speed.

After circulating his soul power for several cycles, he finally squeezed the evil energy out of his body.

"How much is this broken storage ring and the Yanyang fine iron box in total? I'm really sorry for asking you to help with this extra money."

Chen Ping closed the Yan Yang Jing iron box containing the Soul Devouring Blade and put it into his own storage soul guide.

Originally, he was worried that this carving knife, which was ranked at the top of the carving knife list after the evil energy on the blade was purified, was still too conspicuous.

But now that a great dean like Qian Duoduo has accepted him as his disciple, it doesn't matter to him much.

The most amazing thing is that Qian Duoduo coveted the carving knife, so he borrowed it for a few days while making the core formation, so that he could satisfy his craving for the carving knife.

After all, as far as he knew, Shrek Academy had only two ranking engraving knives, one with Xian Lin'er and the other with Fan Yu.

But if Qian Duoduo were to steal the carving knife, Chen Ping, who had just received a gold crystal worth 40,000 gold soul coins from Qian Duoduo, didn't think so.

Qian Duoduo is indeed greedy for money, but he is definitely generous to his apprentice. Whose apprenticeship gift is tens of thousands of gold soul coins right from the start?
But who should he find to purify this soul-devouring sword?

Although he was well aware of how powerful Mu was, Moon was, after all, an old man on his last breath.

It is not impossible that Moon in this state really cannot deal with the evil spirit in the Soul-Devouring Sword.
