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

Chapter 231 Publicly Funded Star Chasing: Xu Jiawei

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Inside the conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Elder Ma paced back and forth in front of everyone, muttering to himself.

Ma Rulong and Xiao Hongchen had some arguments at first, as the captains of the regular team and the reserve team, respectively, were quite disapproving of each other.

But at this moment, both of them had been thoroughly used as background figures by Chen Ping, and now they knew to share a common hatred and unite against a common enemy.

"Laughing at the mortal world, that golden orb..."

Ma Rulong turned to look at Xiao Hongchen with a grim expression, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Clearly, he wanted to use Xiao Hongchen's Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul's ability to control rare metals to determine that this piece of refined gold was actually a fake piece of refined gold that had been tampered with.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen no longer had that arrogant air of looking down on all the geniuses; his eyes were clear, and he shook his head bitterly.

"Since that monster from Shrek dared to hand over this piece of adamantium to us, it means he's not afraid of us using any means to verify the authenticity of this adamantium sphere."

"This piece of refined gold, from the inside out, is free of any impurities. It is a pure gold ingot, a pure gold ingot that has been shaped into a ball by one hand."

At this moment, Old Ma naturally heard Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong's conversation and immediately glared at him with displeasure.

"Alright, I don't believe that this kid, who's only twelve or thirteen years old, can unleash the destructive power that only a powerful attack-type Soul King can unleash with his Soul Skills, just by relying on his physical strength. How high must his cultivation level be? A seven-ring Soul Saint?"

Mr. Ma's words were reasonable and gave the team members present more confidence.

"It's hard to say, after all, that guy is one of Shrek's men."

At that moment, Meng Hongchen hesitated for a moment before speaking, and subconsciously uttered words that boosted the enemy's morale while diminishing his own.

As she said these words, Meng Hongchen's mind was filled with Chen Ping's resolute face and his perfect form, which seemed to be a masterpiece of the Creator.

"Sister, what are you saying!"

Xiao Hongchen was startled upon hearing this. He didn't care how demoralizing Meng Hongchen's words were; he suspected that his sister's infatuation had relapsed.

My younger sister used to like pretty boys, so why is she now into muscular men?

Although Chen Ping was indeed handsome, only slightly less so than the legendary reader, he was certainly quite dashing.

But this guy is one of Shrek's people, he's an enemy!
Xiao Hongchen suddenly felt a headache coming on; this was not a good sign.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was thrown into chaos by the commotion Chen Ping caused today, but how could the other academies not be affected?

In no time, the rumor that a monster who could mold adamantium into a lump with brute force had arrived at Shrek Academy spread like wildfire.

All the Soul Masters participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition gathered at the Star Emperor Hotel, and gossip spread very quickly.

At the Star Emperor Hotel, the most talked-about gossip is undoubtedly about the top universities participating in the competition.

The students who were able to rush to the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel to watch the excitement were mostly from top-tier Soul Master academies, second only to Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

These people carry considerable weight in the eyes of ordinary Soul Master academy students.

When all these people are excitedly discussing something, the students at the Star Emperor Hotel's lower-level academy will also subconsciously become curious about what happened, and spread the gossip layer by layer.

As a result, in just half a day, almost all of the more than one hundred teams that came to participate in the competition heard about what happened on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel at noon.

Along with the photos, a photograph of Chen Ping shaping the refined gold into a ball also circulated. If any Soul Masters who witnessed this event were present, they would immediately recognize that the angle from which the photograph was taken was definitely not that of students from other academies.

It was filmed by someone from Shrek Academy, or more precisely, by BeiBei, who was also in the Shrek meeting room.

But then again, why would those students who witnessed Chen Ping's incredible prowess have any interest in looking at this commemorative photo?

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire revealed a serious atmosphere.

All the streets around Xingluo Square were blocked off by soldiers in bright armor, especially near the Xinghuang Hotel, where thousands of soldiers were stationed.

The streets leading from here to Xingluo Square have been completely sealed off.

Only the participating team members from each academy who walked out of the Star King Hotel can pass.

The arena used for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is not located in the center of Star Luo Square, but in front of the main gate of the Imperial City.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire could watch the battle from the top of the imperial city walls with his civil and military officials. Not only would the view be optimal, but safety would also be guaranteed.

It has to be said that this gives people the illusion of being publicly funded to support celebrities.

No, considering that Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, is himself a member of Shrek Academy and a huge fan of the school, this seems like publicly funded celebrity worship.
However, Xu Jiawei's public-funded idol-chasing not only doesn't cost the national treasury much, but he can also earn more than 60 million gold soul coins just from ticket sales.

The Battle Arena of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, and its overall structure is made of granite slabs and rice paste.

One hundred and eight metal pillars surrounded the area, forming a soul-guided shield that completely separated the area inside from the outside.

At this time, Xingluo Square was empty. Except for the soldiers in the distance, there was no one in the square.

Since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament adopted its current format, the most exciting part, aside from the final stage, is actually the first round of elimination matches.

Its brilliance, and even its brutality, far surpassed that of the later round-robin matches.

Round-robin tournaments can also involve tactical arrangements, and even tactical failures.

However, this first round is a direct elimination tournament; if you lose, you have to leave, even if you are a previous champion, Shrek Academy.

Just as the audience entered, Chen Ping and others had already arrived at the contestants' area to wait.

Today, all the Shrek students are wearing traditional dark green school uniforms, which is Shrek's standard color to the outside world.

They stood out so much as they were standing in the first row.

The key point is that there were only eight of them this time. Apart from Wang Yan, who was obviously the teacher in charge, the other seven looked too young.

These guys are probably only fifteen years old at most. What are the Shrek Academy people doing?
This is probably what most of the audience members who just entered the venue thought.

However, this is not the case for other colleges.

Yesterday, Chen Ping effortlessly displayed his strength, forcing all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to make way for him. This performance once again made everyone directly feel the unparalleled power of Shrek Academy.

No one wanted to be drawn as an opponent from Shrek Academy, not even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Chen Ping's move yesterday really scared them.
