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

Chapter 256 The vest is about to fall off

Compared to firing soul-guided shells one by one from the Twin Dragon Rapid Fire Cannon, it seems that the best way to use soul-guided shells is to gather them into a ball and detonate them directly, with power approaching that of low-level fixed shells.

This made the referee scratch his head, wondering if using soul-guided cannons like this was appropriate.

You might say it's against the rules, but that's definitely not the case. After all, there's no rule in the competition that states that Soul Masters can't take out the Soul Guidance Cannon ammunition belt and hang it on their body to attack their opponents by detonating the ammunition belt instead of loading it into the Soul Guidance Device.

But if you say this is appropriate, the referee always feels something is off.
While the referee was still debating, the Shrek team had already efficiently finished their work.

The remaining two Spirit Shield Soul Masters had the dark muzzle of the cannon that He Caitou had turned up pressed against their faces. After swallowing hard, they wisely chose to surrender, thus avoiding being hit in the face by the cannonball.

The last fire-controlling soul master, Fei Yuyan, wanted to summon her Blazing Tiger to put up a last-ditch effort, but since neither of them possessed the ultimate fire attribute, the Witch Wind of the Red Dragon Martial Soul had a certain degree of fire immunity against Fei Yuyan.

Yes, it's true that fire-attribute attacks from both sides can cancel each other out. But Wu Feng's big shield isn't just fire-attribute; it also has the purest classical mechanical attribute.

With just a slap, Fei Yuyan, who possessed the combat power of a Soul Master but was only a control-type Soul Master, took a solid hit from Wu Feng's palm and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Xu Sanshi, that shameless fellow, appeared behind the opponent without warning, and tripped Fei Yuyan with his leg, causing her to lose her balance and fall down the Soul Arena.

The audience in the stands were stunned into silence. They had never expected that this was Shrek Academy's third match, and that the Shrek team was still so competitive!

It was clearly a seven-on-seven team battle, and Shrek Academy could only unleash a handful of soul skills. A team that would definitely not be considered weak even in the continent-wide advanced soul master competition was defeated just like that!
Some people were even killed instantly before they could even use their soul skills!
Even in this match, Chen Ping didn't make a move. He stood at the edge of the Soul Arena from the very beginning, leisurely smoking a cigar made by He Caitou using Soul Incantation, chatting with the support Soul Master in his team, as if he had already seen everything.

What confidence this is!

But judging from the result on the field, was Chen Ping's confidence problematic? Absolutely not!
Normally, team fights are the easiest way to reveal a team's true strength. No matter how strong a team is, everyone has to use some skills to show their abilities.

However, on Shrek Academy's side, Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda power-amplifying soul skill was revealed.

But what's the point of showing this thing? Everyone knows that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only has a few skills.
Furthermore, He Caitou's summoning of cigars reveals his identity as a food-type Soul Master.

The key point is that this guy is clearly a Soul Master. When he gets into a fight, he probably won't even remember that he's a Food-type Soul Master.

Upon closer examination, the only meaningful soul skills that Shrek Academy released were indeed Jiang Nannan's three soul skills.

Putting everything else aside, if any team encounters Shrek Academy again, they will definitely not dare to stick together, otherwise the Thousand Spirits Academy on the field will be the price to pay.

"Shrek Academy, win!"

Seeing that there were no more Thousand Spirits Academy students left standing on the entire fighting arena, the referee waved his hand and announced Shrek Academy's victory in this round.

After waving to the audience, the seven jumped off the fighting platform one after another, still too lazy to watch the match as usual, and headed straight for the hotel.

Unbeknownst to the Shrek Academy students, after watching their match, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also got up and left.

Their match wasn't originally scheduled for today; they came today simply to watch Shrek Academy's match.

The two top academies from the competition returned to the Star Emperor Hotel almost one after the other.

"To the conference room for a meeting." The same order came almost simultaneously from the teachers leading the two college teams.

Looking at the Shrek Seven Devils sitting around him, Wang Yan took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Kids, thank you. To be honest, even I didn't expect you to win so many consecutive matches."

"It can be said that you have made the greatest effort to preserve the honor of the academy."

"As reserve team members, your original goal in coming here was simply to gain experience. But now you have become the backbone of the team. Neither the academy nor I personally will have too high expectations of you."

As soon as Wang Yan said this, everyone realized what he wanted to say.

It is clear that their next opponent will be a formidable foe, one that is difficult to defeat and almost impossible to overcome.

Only when Wang Yan hadn't revealed much of his strength or trump cards in three consecutive matches would he have said such a thing.

As expected, Wang Yan then spoke, uttering words that shocked everyone.

"In the next match, you will face the strongest opponent you have encountered in the round-robin stage."

"That team has three five-ring Soul King level experts. They made it into the top eight in the last competition."

One team with three Soul Kings!
Top eight in the last competition!

Just hearing this configuration, Chen Ping vaguely guessed who their opponent was.

It was the team led by the guy whose martial spirit shared the same name as a certain cigarette brand.

This team is indeed difficult to deal with; the three Soul Kings are all particularly troublesome, making them a very difficult opponent.

Chen Ping closed his eyes to rest, listening to Wang Yan introduce the team's details to everyone while pondering what trump cards their team still had to play.

Because of his intervention, Xu Sanshi's Xuanming substitution has only been used in the internal battles between the regular team and the reserve team of Shrek Academy until now. It is definitely a top-notch card.

This card won't fool the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where everyone has a flying soul tool.

However, in his first appearance, suffocating a Soul King from another academy would be a piece of cake.

It's a trump card on par with Jiang Nannan's self-destruction.

In addition, He Caitou also has a super-energy cannon that requires a lot of preparation time. In the original work, the preparation time for this move was achieved by Xiao Xiao selling his blood to make up for it, but now Chen Ping has prepared a new way for him to release it.

After going through all the available cards in the team, Chen Ping felt a little heavy-hearted.

In short, his secret weapon won't last much longer. There are only seven players in the reserve team, and he can't stay inactive forever. Once his secret weapon is revealed, the next matches will be a real battle of wits and strength.
