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

Chapter 233 The oldest human emotion is fear.

Unlike the audience who knew nothing about it.

When the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy saw Chen Ping walk onto the stage, their faces turned so pale they could be used as dumpling wrappers.

Yes, it's him, the guy who was all over the news yesterday.
At this moment, no one cared that the Shrek Academy students who walked onto the stage seemed to be less than fifteen years old on average.

All they cared about was the boy who had single-handedly forced the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to make way for him yesterday.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but scratch his head. He was unaware of the grueling things Chen Ping had done yesterday, so his reaction was the same as that of the audience present.

"What is Shrek Academy up to? Are their main teams too busy to come these past few days?"

"Wasn't Dai Hao's son a key player in this year's team? How come Shrek only has the reserve team left this year?"

A competition is a competition, and no matter how many people have doubts, the competition will continue.

The referee sent by the Xingluo Empire has arrived and made a gesture for both sides to come forward.

The seven trainees on both sides quickly gathered in the center of the field.

Now that they were closer, the Shrek reserve team members could see the ugly expressions on their opponents' faces even more clearly.

Countless historical examples have proven what the outcome was in the first round against Shrek Academy.

In the end, it was Beibei who adjusted her mindset first and greeted her opponents in a nonchalant manner.

"Keep it up, today's match probably has nothing to do with us, don't worry about us."

Beibei smiled and spread her hands towards the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Xu Sanshi quickly caught up with his best friend's pace, looking at the group from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy with a pitying expression that said, "You guys are really unlucky," and making a series of tsk-tsk sighs.

This terrified the people from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

No, what do you mean? What do you mean by saying today's match has nothing to do with you?
Seeing that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's acting skills were getting better and better, Wu Feng and Ning Tian, ​​who came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, also gradually gained confidence and revealed their arrogance within the sect.

"That means you guys fight Chen Ping alone first. If Chen Ping can't beat all seven of you out by himself, then the six of us will step in and beat you up."

Wu Feng wore an expression that seemed perfectly natural, clearly indicating that he was also in the zone.

"You're wrong. If the five of you continue to attack, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will at most cast a few beams of auxiliary light on you."

Ning Tian corrected Wu Feng's mistakes, which only made the people from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy even more afraid.

Good heavens, how come there are people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School here? What's the difference between this and leveling up all six people on the other side by ten levels?
"Hehe, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Just get past my junior brother first, then you can consider fighting us. Don't think about so many unnecessary things."

He Caitou also became somewhat cunning at this moment. He seemed to be comforting the seven people opposite him, but it made the seven people opposite him look so ugly that they were about to cry.

No, just how powerful is Chen Ping that you all think the seven of us can't beat him?!
For a moment, everyone from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy looked at Chen Ping, only to be met with Chen Ping's expressionless eyes, just like yesterday, devoid of joy or sorrow, as calm as a still well.

This gaze that regarded all living beings as worthless made the students of Tianling Academy, who were treated as worthless, swallow hard, their fear intensifying.

The referee said in a deep voice, "First round, elimination round, team battle. Both sides can use most of their soul tools in the match."

"But during the battle, if one side concedes defeat, the other side must not continue the attack. Do you all understand?"

The captain of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was a tall and slender young man.

At this moment, the other party's expression was extremely ugly. He simply nodded silently, as if afraid that making too much of a movement would attract the attention of some being.

The oldest human emotion is fear, and the oldest human fear is the fear of the unknown. Clearly, Chen Ping's indifferent behavior, along with the exaggerated words of his teammates behind him, had awakened their primal fear—the fear of the unknown.

The referee nodded and said, "Alright, both sides step back to the sides of the field. The match will begin when I give the order."

"No one may release their Martial Soul before I announce the start. Otherwise, they will be disqualified."

The two sides slowly widened the distance between them. Shrek's side only symbolically retreated a quarter of the court, and was too lazy to retreat any further.

The six members of the reserve team lowered their voices, chatting and laughing, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming battle.

Chen Ping had already turned around, focusing his gaze on his seven opponents for the first time, before quickly looking away.

It seems that for Chen Ping, lingering his gaze on them for even a few seconds was already a sign that he took his opponents very seriously.

This made the group of students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, who had retreated tremblingly to the edge of the field, pound with anxiety, constantly imagining what they would face next.

"How long do you think it will take Chen Ping to finish the match?"

Just then, He Caitou nudged Xu Sanshi with his elbow and started a conversation.

Xu Sanshi immediately understood He Caitou's meaning, stroked his chin, and said, "Thirty seconds?"

"Then I'll finish the fight in fifteen seconds, hehe."

"What's the point of holding back the time? Why don't we just keep holding back the number of punches? I bet they'll give up after five punches."

The remaining six members of the Shrek reserve team whispered among themselves and, out of respect for the referee, stepped back a little further, since they weren't there to play a match anyway.

The area around the arena was relatively quiet at this time, and the sound of the six people chatting reached the ears of the seven people on the other side without any interruption, making the seven people on the other side feel even colder.

For a moment, the students of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy looked at each other, none of them wanting to be one of the five unlucky ones to take a beating from Chen Ping.

At that moment, Xingluo Square, which could hold hundreds of thousands of people, fell silent again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at the wide competition stage with wide eyes.

This is the first match, the first elimination round, and the match of the number one academy on the entire continent!
At this moment, the other six members of Shrek Academy were already strolling away from the Soul Arena, leaving only Chen Ping on the stage!

The formation gives the impression that the other six players are mainly there to make up the seven-person team so that the referee can start the round.

Now I could really do it too.
Many audience members had this strange thought.

As soon as the referee raised his hand, the seven students from Tianling Advanced Academy immediately tensed up.

At the same time, all 108 Soul Masters below the stage pressed down on the metal pillars in front of them, creating a barrier as high as 25 meters that covered the entire arena.

On the Tianling Advanced Academy side, the seven people quickly lined up, forming a classic traditional three-two-one-one formation.

Three offensive types are in front, two agile types are on the flanks and behind, and the last are support and control types.

Chen Ping yawned, as if he hadn't had enough sleep.

Even the referee was a little dumbfounded.

Those who can serve as referees for this competition are naturally all high-level Soul Masters selected by the Star Luo Empire.

But Shrek's nonchalant attitude in this tournament, their "whatever happens, happens" mentality, and their desire to finish quickly and call it a day, made the referee forget to lower his raised right hand.
