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

Chapter 181 Dragon and Tiger Clash (Bonus Chapter)
Seeing the excited young Soul Masters below the stage, Wang Yan smiled with satisfaction.

It seems these kids have really gotten motivated.

"Alright, if we keep going, you little guys will start fighting amongst yourselves."

"Whether you are friends or enemies is up to you to decide, but don't forget one thing: besides yourselves, you also have rivals in the third, fourth, and fifth grades."

"I don't ask for much, but at least you dozen or so people shouldn't be wiped out."

"When other teachers hear that our second-grade students were allowed to participate in the selection competition for the first time ever, and that more than a dozen of them went but none of them made it, I won't have the face to show my face."

Wang Yan's words instantly ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the young soul masters in the class, including Chen Ping.

Dai Huabin slammed his hand on the table, unleashing the aura of a level 37 Great Soul Master: "Teacher Wang, don't worry, we will definitely have a place in this selection competition!"

"Great, that's an inspiring statement!"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, but he couldn't help but be surprised—this kid had only just finished the upgrade assessment a few days ago, and he had already gained some insights and leveled up again?

If he wasn't mistaken, even among the core disciples in the third and fourth years of the academy this year, there were probably only a handful with higher cultivation levels than Dai Huabin.
Zhu Lu was originally quite confident about advancing from 30 to 7, but when she heard Dai Huabin start borrowing the champion again, her heart skipped a beat.

Will this time turn out badly again?
Led by Wang Yan, the dozen or so core disciples from the second year quickly arrived at the Soul Arena.

At this moment, the second-year students were all preoccupied with their own thoughts, busy trying to determine who their enemies and friends were.

Without saying a word, Chen Ping first assembled his old team, and the others followed suit, instinctively assembling their original squads as well.

Immediately afterwards, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan appeared in their sight one after another; they were all core disciples of the fifth grade.

Then, He Caitou, along with the third and fourth-year core disciples of the Martial Soul Department, also entered the arena.

This instantly escalated the cheating culture in the market to its peak.

Huo Yuhao took the initiative and, relying on the connections he had made during his freshman year of cooking fish, recruited Xie Huanyue and three other senior Soul Masters into his team.

In the blink of an eye, the first seven-person team was formed.

Excluding Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao, this team has a total of five Soul Master level combatants!
Dai Huabin panicked when he saw this and wanted to team up with Chen Ping, but he found that Chen Ping was moving closer to He Caitou and Bei Bei.

So Dai Huabin had no choice but to settle for second best. He brought his original team from the freshman competition, along with the Lan sisters, Zhou Sichen, Huang Chutian, and others, and put together a seven-person team.

Although this team only has one Soul Master, Dai Huabin, they possess two great Martial Soul Fusion Skills, making them capable of going toe-to-toe with the team Huo Yuhao created.

The team that followed was the one with the highest stats on paper, which Chen Ping had assembled.

Besides him, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian, ​​there were also Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou.

The Four Souls Sect, the Two Soul Masters, and Chen Ping, a Great Soul Master.

Finally, the remaining third and fourth-year students, who couldn't even form a team, could only stick together for warmth and formed a huge team of nine people, each of whom was a Soul Master!
What is meant by a fierce battle between dragons and tigers? This is it!

Despite having the worst stats on paper, Dai Huabin's seven-man team possesses two great martial soul fusion skills.

The most impressive battle groups on paper have an average of Soul Masters per member, but due to their large numbers, they are prone to falling apart at any time.

Chen Ping's seven-man team seemed to have advantages in all aspects, but it was also the most vulnerable to being the target of everyone's attacks. Huo Yuhao's team appeared to be conventional, unassuming, and the least noticeable, but with the opponent's incredibly powerful mental detection assistance, no one dared to say that this team was truly weak.

Even though the selection competition hadn't started yet, the atmosphere in the entire Soul Arena was already thick with tension, as if even the slightest spark could ignite the whole place.

"Wow, this year's selection competition is even more unusual than in previous years. Not only are the second-year students here, but I haven't even arrived yet, and you kids have already formed a group?"

In the distance, a swaying figure slowly walked over, looking as if he might fall at any moment.

The voice that was making fun of everyone with great interest was also from the other party.

Although most of his face was covered by his wild hair, the iconic movements of the wine gourd in his left hand and the drumstick in his right hand immediately revealed his identity.

Lao Xuan!

Elder Xuan staggered over to the group of students, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and said, "Little Wang."

"Mr. Xuan." Wang Yan hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

"Is everyone here?" Mr. Xuan asked.

Wang Yan said, "Everyone has arrived. There are exactly thirty people in the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department combined."

"Well. Let's go in then."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan staggered and turned to enter the Soul Fighting Zone.

Everything in the Soul Fighting Zone remains the same, but today there seem to be no teachers here, nor any students coming to fight.

Elder Xuan walked all the way to the center of the Soul Battle Zone before stopping, and the core disciples also stood still under the guidance of their teachers.

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "The core disciple assessment you are about to undergo is very simple. I call it a free-for-all."

"Within this fighting zone, you can attack freely, however you wish. There are no rules."

"Those who concede or are rescued are eliminated. The last seven remaining are the winners."

"I see you've all formed your teams, so you probably don't need any more preparation time. I'll say 'start' and you can beat the dogs out of their heads."

Master Xuan's few words instantly changed the expression of everyone present.

Chen Ping and the others were fine. By the time they finished negotiating and headed towards the Soul Arena, they had already formed a seven-person team. At this moment, the soul power within the seven of them was surging, and they were just waiting for their martial souls to possess them.

The other trainees were a bit confused. Wasn't this a bit too hasty?
Before the students inside the venue could react, Elder Xuan suddenly raised the wine gourd in his hand and shouted.

"start."

With a whoosh, Elder Xuan's body vanished, leaving only the core disciples inside the Soul Arena.

After receiving a hint from Chen Ping, He Caitou immediately took out the Level 4 long-range soul tool Twin Dragon Rapid Fire Cannon that he had used in the test site.

Without even aiming, he closed his eyes and fired eight shells at the area with the most people, announcing the start of this extremely intense selection competition with a continuous roar!
　1 chapters have been completed, one more chapter owed.
　　Damn it, I just paid back a chapter, how come I still owe everyone four more?
