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

Chapter 239 Chen Ping: Not Worth the Price

"I'm so sorry, I apologize to everyone."

Thinking of this, Wang Yan stood up and admitted his mistake.

"Chen Ping is right. Cheating is wrong no matter what."

"As the coach of the Shrek team, I not only failed to set a good example, but I almost led you astray. I reflect on my mistakes and apologize to you."

"I hope that you can also supervise the teacher in the future, just like Chen Ping, and point out the teacher's mistakes. We can learn from each other in the future."

No one expected Wang Yan's reaction to be so intense, let alone that she would take the initiative to stand up and apologize to everyone.

In an instant, everyone hurriedly stood up, showing more recognition and respect for Wang Yan.

Everyone makes mistakes; after all, no one is perfect.

A teacher who dares to admit their mistakes and correct them in front of younger generations is truly invaluable.

After explaining a few more details, Wang Yan waved his hand, signaling everyone to adjourn the meeting.

As Chen Ping left the conference room with the others, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the other end of the corridor.

A handsome young man, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, stood at the other end, staring intently at him.

This person was none other than Xiao Hongchen, who had been so shocked by his match a couple of days ago that he had screamed.

"Chen Ping, I will find the flaws in your disguise and let everyone know that I am the most outstanding genius in this competition! Remember my name, Xiao Hongchen!"

When Xiao Hongchen saw Chen Ping exchange a glance with him, a feeling of mutual attraction and admiration between two peerless geniuses arose in his heart, and he uttered his own bold and ambitious words.

"Haven't the windows in your conference room been fixed yet?"

Chen Ping frowned and looked at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen was completely taken aback by Chen Ping's opening remark and was momentarily speechless, saying, "It's...it's fixed. How so?"

"Fixed? I don't think so. I feel like the cold wind outside your conference room window has damaged your head?"

"A prodigy? He's just a five-ring Soul King. Is that so great? How are you any different from the people at Tianling Academy?"

After saying these two sentences, Chen Ping didn't give Xiao Hongchen a chance to reply. He sneered and walked towards his room.

Xiao Hongchen blushed instantly, her face turning bright red to the roots of her neck, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

Chen Ping's final question, "Is there any difference between you and those people from Tianling Academy?" was practically telling Xiao Hongchen that in Chen Ping's eyes, he and the people from Tianling Academy were the same kind of people, good-for-nothings who couldn't even withstand a single punch from him!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!
When had Xiao Hongchen ever suffered such a humiliation? He was being treated like a nobody on the street!
The key point is that before he actually faced Chen Ping, he didn't even have the chance to prove himself. He was still being regarded by Chen Ping as an overconfident fool, and he didn't know how long that would last!

Crunch, crunch, crunch.
That's the sound of someone grinding their teeth, laughing at the world's troubles.

The jade rabbit falls in the west and the golden crow rises in the east.

Whatever happened on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel yesterday will not affect the sunrise the next day.

The first round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has finally come to an end after several days of competition.

The spectators in Xingluo City were completely aroused. People lined up late every night because, although Xingluo Square was spacious, its capacity was ultimately limited and couldn't meet the public's demands.

As a result, in order to control the overcrowding in the queues, the Star Luo Empire government naturally raised the admission fee, making a fortune once again.

Of course, the explosive popularity of the knockout stage is inseparable from the bloody battles.

In order to make it to the knockout stage as much as possible and avoid being eliminated in the first round, each academy had its students pull out all the stops.

This turned the saying "fighting can knock a dog's brain out" from an exaggeration into reality. In one elimination round, more than a dozen students from the Douluo Continent region died on the spot.

Chen Ping also heard about the compensation for the deceased students—100,000 gold soul coins.

A considerable sum of money.

After hearing the price, Chen Ping remained silent for a long time, and finally just sighed.

If he hadn't chosen to take that gamble in the Star Dou Forest back then, and hadn't shamelessly asked Wang Yan to acknowledge him as his distant nephew, but instead had randomly chosen an academy to join, would he now be one of those 100,000 gold coins in compensation?
After thinking about it, Chen Ping shook his head—his idea was pretty amazing, worth 100,000 gold coins.

Without Shrek Academy's various resources to allow this fake genius to feast and grow rapidly, he wouldn't even have qualified to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Under these circumstances, how could he possibly be worth 100,000 gold soul coins?

Today is the fourth day of the competition.

Early in the morning, the shouts of the audience were already echoing in Xingluo Square.

There's only one reason: today, the Shrek Academy team, which they most wanted to see, is going to play again, and they'll be playing in the very first match.

Even Xu Jiawei, who only occasionally came to the city wall to watch the battle, climbed up to the top of the imperial city early in the morning to wait, clearly having been captivated by Chen Ping's deeds.

The start of the round-robin tournament also means the opening of the players' rest area.

Today's matches are only the first round of the round-robin tournament, and four of the eight participating teams will play.

However, all 67 teams that advanced from the knockout stage were sitting in the rest area without exception.

They came to watch the game, or more accurately, they wanted to see if Chen Ping from Shrek Academy could pull off any more incredible feats.

Shrek is Shrek, the Shrek of eternal glory.

Almost every academy unconsciously regards it as its goal, yet they all deeply revere it. Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is no exception.

When the dark green competition uniforms appeared in the entrance passage of the participating academies, the entire Xingluo Square erupted in cheers.

Chen Ping, still displaying the same lack of interest in everyone, walked at the very front of the group.

At this moment, he had already spotted Xiao Hongchen in the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The child was so upset by a few words from him yesterday that he didn't sleep well all night. Now, seeing Chen Ping, the leader of the team, he felt both hatred and fear.

What puzzled Chen Ping was the little girl with wine-red hair next to Xiao Hongchen. He felt that the way she looked at him was a little strange.

That gaze, fixed intently on him, didn't seem like the gaze one would give an opponent in a match; it was more like the look of someone eyeing a prey with delight.
