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

Chapter 258 Misunderstandings Caused by Information Gap
Shrek Academy. Poseidon's Pavilion.

"Elder Mu, are you really not going to send anyone over?"

"Tomorrow, they will face an opponent with three Soul Kings."

Standing in front of Elder Mu was Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy.

Old Master Mu smiled slightly and said, "Is this something you wanted to ask me, or did Shao Zhe send you to ask me?"

Cai Meier honestly replied, "It was Shao Zhe's idea."

Old Mu chuckled and said, "I knew it was him."

"I told you before, don't take that championship so seriously. Didn't they win their first three games beautifully and interestingly?"

"How long has it been since Shrek Academy played a match where we had to be so careful and rack our brains to win?"

“Xuanzi has excellent judgment. None of the people he chose are cowards. If we send people there, will these children still be able to unleash their full potential and fight to the end?”

"Don't underestimate the potential that people can unleash when they are pushed to the brink. I think it's a bit too early to hold a celebration banquet for them these past two days. Those three Soul Kings may not be able to stop these little guys."

Cai Meier asked in surprise, "Elder Mu, you actually think so highly of them?"

Old Master Mu smiled slightly, "Because I understand them better than you do. You'll understand later. Go on."

"Yes."

……

early morning.

After breakfast, all seven members of the Shrek Academy reserve team gathered in the conference room.

After resting yesterday, they all looked energetic and full of vitality today.

However, their expressions were not relaxed. Each of them even had a somewhat grave look on their face.

Today's match will undoubtedly be the most difficult one for them since they came to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

They were facing a powerful team led by three Soul Kings, but none of them were Soul Kings themselves.

There isn't even a single Soul Master above level 45.

There were no extra words to say. In yesterday's meeting room, Chen Ping had broken down all the possible scenarios and all the tactics he had come up with and fed them to everyone. Wang Yan also gave all the instructions he needed to give.

As the competition drew closer, Wang Yan became unusually taciturn.

"The next match will be just a pastime. We've already injured so many regular players by the end of our inspection mission, and I don't want to injure so many more qualifiers."

"While the allure of riding a valiant horse and gliding across the stars is undeniable, the ambition of enduring hardship and making a comeback is equally compelling. Ultimately, it's a matter of whether we lift the championship trophy this year or five years from now. Safety first."

Wang Yan took a deep breath and looked at the seven people: "Let's go!"

The atmosphere at Xingluo Square was as lively as ever.

Entering the rest area, the seven members of Shrek Academy were already at their peak fighting spirit; now all they needed to do was wait for the match to begin.

No matter what format they are drawn for the competition, they will fight the people from Zhengtian Academy to the very last moment.

The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy arrived at the arena once again. Undoubtedly, they were there to observe Shrek Academy's overall strength.

Seeing that Shrek Academy only had the seven members who appeared the day before yesterday, and no other team members were present, Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, frowned deeply.

After returning the day before yesterday, their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team held a long meeting to discuss Shrek Academy.

The main focus of the discussion was Chen Ping.

Strictly speaking, the only occasion in which Chen Ping truly displayed his divine power was during the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

They said Chen Ping was bluffing, but the Soul Arena was truly shattered.

It was said that Chen Ping only had the power of that one punch. After the match, Chen Ping pulled his hand out and waved to the audience without any stiffness, as if he hadn't been injured at all after throwing such a terrifying punch.

This gave Ma Rulong a huge headache.

The seven Shrek players who came this time all looked younger than the last, a reserve team lineup that would have been a sure thing in previous years.

A reasonable guess is that all of Shrek's starting players have run into trouble.

But if that's the case, why doesn't Shrek Academy send people here instead of letting these Soul Masters and Soul Venerables make their appearance?
This forced Ma Rulong to consider the worst-case scenario, such as Chen Ping being a twelve or thirteen-year-old Soul Saint.
Only in this way can we understand why Chen Ping could shatter the Soul Arena with just one punch without using his Martial Soul, and why Shrek Academy didn't choose to bring in reinforcements even when the regular team members had problems.

Because Chen Ping alone is enough. He is a seven-ring Soul Saint, and with these reserve team members, he is enough to dominate the entire competition.

After much thought, Ma Rulong came to a guess that filled him with despair—otherwise, how would Shrek's reserve team cope with today's situation?
Time passed minute by minute.

The sun has already risen high in the distant east.

Surrounded by ministers, Xu Jiawei arrived at the city wall. Instead of sitting down, he walked directly to the wall and watched the battle from the rest area.

When he saw that Shrek Academy's side still consisted of the Shrek Seven Devils, who were still in the reserve team, he was slightly taken aback.

His doubts were exactly the same as Ma Rulong's: with Shrek Academy's weak lineup, how could they possibly fight against Zheng Tian Academy, which had three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters?
Could it be that Chen Ping, whom he only knew by name in his investigation, was actually a Seven-Ring Soul Saint?

The referee stepped onto the stage. His voice was amplified and carried far by the amplified soul-guided device.

"Round 3, Match 1: Shrek Academy vs. Zheng Tian Academy."

"Both sides, please enter the waiting area. The captains will come up on stage to draw the competition format."

Although they might be eliminated and sent back to Shrek Academy tomorrow, Bei Bei remained calm when she went on stage, displaying an easygoing attitude as if she had a big brother protecting her, which made Ye Wuqing's expression change slightly.

Soon, the results of the draw came out.

This result is neither good nor bad for Shrek Academy. It's neither a one-on-one battle where the odds are high and Chen Ping, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi will be bedridden after the fight, nor is it the team battle where Shrek Academy has the best chance of winning.

Instead, it's a 2-2-3 format.

Yesterday, Chen Ping said they had a 40% chance of winning in order to boost morale, but in the 2-2-3 format, they probably only have a 30% chance of winning.

Ye Wuqing stared intently at Beibei, his eyes sharp as knives, as if he wanted to see Beibei panic.

After all, unlike the Shrek Academy members who know their own situation, in the eyes of Zheng Tian Academy, with Chen Ping in charge, Shrek Academy is least afraid of one-on-one combat!

After all, even if they could defeat the remaining six members of Shrek Academy, as long as Chen Ping was still there, he could still defeat them all with a single punch each.
