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

Chapter 193 I possess the strength of a leopard.

Elder Xuan nodded slightly: "Alright, you have all gotten to know each other briefly. To help you remember each other better, today's training task is a friendly match."

“Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, you will each lead a team. Ma Xiaotao, because of your higher cultivation level, you can only lead two regular team members. However, you will have the first choice to select the regular and reserve team members once.”

None of the people in the inner courtyard found this strange, clearly having grown accustomed to Elder Xuan's way of doing things.

"I want Gongyang Mo as my first choice."

Without hesitation, Ma Xiaotao immediately pulled over Gongyang Mo, the top-tier support player.

"As for the reserve team members, Ma Xiaotao hesitated for a while and then chose Xu Sanshi first."

This is a safe choice that won't lead to any major problems. It has a high enough soul power level and you're familiar with it enough, making it a very versatile option.

Xu Sanshi hesitated, clearly a little afraid of Ma Xiaotao.

"Come here quickly."

Ma Xiaotao raised her phoenix eyebrows, which immediately startled Xu Sanshi, causing him to tremble.

"Alright, stop being so scared, like a quail."

"I'm drinking the heat-clearing and fire-reducing tea that Chen Ping made, and Yu Hao, the second-year student with the ultimate ice attribute, is helping to cool me down. The evil fire is almost under control, so I don't need you anymore."

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes and impatiently told Xu Sanshi to join the team.

When Xu Sanshi heard that Ma Xiaotao no longer needed his help to suppress the evil fire, he was overjoyed and happily joined Ma Xiaotao's team.

Oh dear, it turns out that the guy who's really good at grilling fish took the blame for everything.

Sigh, I should have gone easy on Chen Ping when he played the free-for-all mode, hehe.
Xu Sanshi grinned foolishly.

Dai Yueheng selected Chen Zifeng, who possessed the Soul-Chasing Sword Martial Soul, and then began to select from among the reserve team members.

Surprisingly, Dai Yueheng's gaze didn't linger on Beibei and Jiang Nannan at all. Instead, he first looked at He Caitou, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Chen Ping.

"I want Chen Ping."

Even Chen Ping himself did not expect this result.

He naturally noticed that Dai Yueheng's gaze was directed at him and He Caitou, but why was this happening?
After exchanging a glance with Chen Ping, Dai Yueheng nodded kindly at him, a smile playing on her lips.

He knew Chen Ping much better than he did Ma Xiaotao.

After all, throughout the entire freshman year, his younger brother had been suffocated by this guy.

Dai Huabin is not seen among the reserve team members, so Dai Yueheng can naturally guess what happened.

As for his gaze shifting between He Caitou and Chen Ping, it was because Dai Yueheng was actually the one in the entire inner courtyard who was most accepting of soul tools.

After all, Dai Yueheng is Dai Hao's son, and he will be joining the army after graduating next year. He is actually quite clear about the situation on the border battlefield, and he is even more aware of the power of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools.

Perhaps Dai Yueheng still felt that the Soul Master was utterly useless if he were to fight him one-on-one.

However, he held a deep reverence for soul tools, especially those that ravaged the battlefield.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use all his savings from his inner courtyard over the years—a full 800,000 gold soul coins—to buy an eighth-level soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, in the original story.

This is precisely why Dai Yueheng was torn between securing Chen Ping or He Caitou first. When the second round of player selection began, Ma Xiaotao didn't hesitate and recruited Ling Luochen and Bei Bei into her team.

Dai Yueheng said, "Xixi, and Caitou."

Ma Xiaotao was very decisive: "Jiang Nannan, Wu Feng."

At this point, both sides had made their choices, and Yao Haoxuan and Ning Tian, ​​who would inevitably be left behind, ended up in Dai Yueheng's team.

It wasn't that Dai Yueheng looked down on Ning Tian, ​​but rather that Ma Xiaotao had chosen Gongyang Mo, who possessed the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul, as her support from the very beginning. Under these circumstances, Ning Tian's destination was already predetermined.

Elder Xuan chuckled as he held his large wine gourd: "Very good. Now that you have chosen your people, I will give you ten minutes to plan your tactics."

"The sparring begins in ten minutes. The loser just has to shout 'I'm a pig!'"

Each side had seven people, and they quickly spread out, each occupying one side of the assessment area.

Yao Haoxuan looked at the newcomers in the team and said with a smile, "Hey friends, introduce your soul skills, let's win quickly and give them lots of slaps in the face."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping instinctively shuddered. Wait, was this guy's accent in the original novel?
Chen Ping didn't remember; he only remembered that this guy didn't seem to have said more than a few words in the original story.

The only memorable thing about him was that he gossiped about Master Xuan behind his back, changed Master Xuan's nickname to Chicken Lao, and then disappeared from the scene at lightning speed.

Tsk, this sounds like Elder Xuan was the one who killed Yao Haoxuan, emmmm
Chen Ping and the others introduced their soul skills, which immediately made Dai Yueheng's eyes light up.

Ning Tian's Ning is actually Ning from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

And then there's He Caitou, this big guy from the Soul Guidance Department, who's actually a Food-type Soul Master?
Originally, Dai Yueheng was thinking that Gongyang Mo, a top-tier support, was going to make up for the lack of combat power for Ma Xiaotao, who was an inner court student, but it seems that the quality of their support is even higher!

Gongyang Mo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon, which is of the same level and grade as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. In fact, both martial souls can get stuck at level 79 and cannot advance.

Although the boost from other support items of the same level is 10 points lower than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it has the advantage of being long-lasting.

Judging from the soul power level, Gongyang Mo's support buffs are still higher than Ning Tian's, but don't forget that they also have He Caitou, whose buffs can be stacked.

Dai Yueheng's team consisted of five grown men, and they didn't sense anything strange about He Caitou's soul curse at all.

Upon hearing that He Caitou's cigars could be used in conjunction with his auxiliary soul skills, they were almost so excited that they kowtowed to He Caitou. Everyone lined up to receive He Caitou's various types of cigars.

Xixi initially thought the cigar's incantation sounded rather strange.

But looking at He Caitou's standard laboratory research-oriented appearance, he immediately spat at himself a few times.

I'm the one whose mind is impure, and I see no one else as pure either.

After criticizing herself, Xixi obediently accepted a few cigars along with everyone else.

The group lit up their cigars, feeling the exaggerated increase in flavor of He Caitou's sausage, which was no less than that of Oscar's sausage from 10,000 years ago, and they all beamed with joy.

"Ah—Cai Tou's cigars are as powerful as a prairie eagle's, and with Ning Tian's boost, I have the strength of a leopard!"

Yao Haoxuan immediately exclaimed in admiration.

"The task of holding off Ling Luochen is now yours."

Without saying a word, Dai Yueheng assigned Yao Haoxuan a difficult task.
