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

Chapter 259 One-Minute Speedrun for You! (Bonus Chapter)
As for team battles, although they don't allow Chen Ping to fully utilize his combat power as effectively as one-on-one battles, his divine strength still has its uses.

On the contrary, with the 2-2-3 format, no matter how good Chen Ping is, he can only influence the outcome of one match. If he loses the remaining two matches, Shrek will still have to slink back home in disgrace.

This is simply a wonderful misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry.
Seeing Beibei return, Chen Ping took a deep breath, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and finally began to think about the next steps.

Tang Yaolei is the most unique Soul King in Zhengtian Academy. In terms of attack power alone, he is even stronger than Ye Wuqing, but his weaknesses are also obvious.

But precisely because of the opponent's special nature, this guy will most likely be singled out for a match, which is their opportunity.

Whether it's Jiang Nannan's teleportation and invincible golden body or Xu Sanshi's Xuanming substitution, both are suitable for dealing with opponents who have no other tricks besides firing five arrows.

So Chen Ping quickly completed the group assignments.

Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi absolutely cannot be in the same group. Only in this way can he guarantee that whoever is in the first or second group can easily win the point against Tang Yaolei.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately made a bitter face, wanting to show off a joke, but they didn't have much time left.

Wu Feng stood up, cracked her knuckles, and once again displayed the arrogant gaze that made her stand out among the rest of the academy.

"Let's go, Senior Xu, let's bring back the victory from the first match."

As he spoke, without any hesitation, Wu Feng walked towards the Soul Arena.

"Hey, wait for me. You fire-attribute soul masters are all the same in temperament."

Sensing the equally fiery tempers of Wu Feng and Ma Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi hurriedly chased after them.

Wang Yan realized that since things had come to this point, any further worry would be futile. Even if there were some areas requiring micro-management, the micro-management master Chen Ping would be in control of the entire situation.

So he simply sat down next to Chen Ping, sinking into the huge, soft sofa.

"what"

Wang Yan let out a satisfied groan, but after a while, he still looked at the composed Chen Ping with some unease.

"How did you cultivate yourself, kid? You're more mentally stable than me, who's almost forty?"

"Aren't you worried that Xu Sanshi and his group will run into two Soul Kings right away?"

Chen Ping shrugged: "Then the second game is a sure thing, we'll get at least one point. For the third game, we'll change our lineup, we'll only have one Soul King, and the three of us can take it down even if it's an elephant."

"Instead of worrying about that, we should worry about the fact that the opposing team's Soul Master with the Angelic Martial Soul is coming up for this match."

"Although Zhengtian Academy is as old-fashioned as our Shrek Academy and unwilling to use soul tools, the Angel Martial Soul can fly, so Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement won't work."

The contestants from Shrek Academy and Zheng Tian Academy took to the stage together.

"Shrek Academy, Xu Sanshi".

"Shrek Academy, Wu Feng."

"Zhengtian Academy, Tang Xiaolei."

"Yang Yifan, Zhengtian Academy."

After exchanging names, Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, it's really a good thing that Yu Mengdi with the Angelic Martial Soul wasn't drawn by him.

Wu Feng felt relieved. She was really worried that she had dragged everyone down and that she had finally managed to come out, only to not be able to bring back a victory.

This match is one we can only win, we cannot afford to lose!
After the two sides had introduced themselves, the referee said in a deep voice, "Both sides step back and prepare."

All four players on both sides retreated simultaneously. Whether it's a team battle, an individual battle, or a duo battle, maintaining distance is essential.

This way, all types of Soul Masters can easily perform to their full potential. Both sides have reached the edge of the arena.

The referee immediately shouted, "Start!"

Without a doubt, releasing the martial soul is the key.

The two sides completed the process almost instantly.

Tang Xiaolei's bright eyes instantly turned bright purple, as if a bright purple flame was overflowing from their sockets.

He raised his left hand, and a large bow appeared in his grasp, along with two yellow and three purple spirit rings.

Although it's unclear why Zhengtian Academy, as one of the top eight academies in the previous competition, was so reluctant to equip its students with even a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, instead giving Tang Yaolei and Shen Ce, the captain of Qianling Academy, spirit rings with two yellow and three purple rings, this kid's actions were anything but hesitant.

A purple light flashed in Tang Xiao's tearful eyes. He raised the longbow in his left hand and placed his right hand on the bowstring. His energy and spirit surged at an astonishing speed.

The Purple Flower Bow was drawn back with lightning speed. Tang Xiaolei's wrist seemed to move only slightly, and a yellow light shot out from the bowstring, arriving in front of Xu Sanshi almost instantly.

The arrow was incredibly fast, without the slightest warning. The entire process could only be described as lightning fast.

If Chen Ping hadn't specifically emphasized that anyone who encountered this guy while teamed up with Xu Sanshi would definitely hide behind Xu Sanshi, Tang Yaolei's arrow would probably have been aimed at Wu Feng!
The only possible scenario for Tang Yaolei's arrow against an opponent whose level was far lower than hers was to peek out and kill the target instantly.

Even though he had anticipated the destructive power of Tang Yaolei's arrow, Xu Sanshi only realized how unreasonable the force contained within it truly was when he was actually hit by Tang Yaolei's heavy arrow!

Tang Yaolei's arrow struck Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield squarely, forcing him to stagger back five or six steps before regaining his footing. Fortunately, Wu Feng followed suit and retreated quickly, preventing Xu Sanshi from tripping over.

Even so, the tiger's mouth where Xu Sanshi gripped the Xuanming Shield was still torn open by the enormous impact, leaving it covered in blood.

A shocking arrow mark was also slashed across Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield.

Looking at the arrow marks left by the Soul Ring Arrows on the shield, which were about the same thickness as Chen Ping's Dragon-Touching Staff, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Sanshi's mind.

This is practically the kind of dragon-hunting arrow that you'd only shoot when hunting a giant dragon.

"Ok?"

Tang Yaolei had already placed her hand back on the bowstring, intending to aim at Wu Feng behind Xu Sanshi, but she did not expect that Xu Sanshi would take the arrow and still be able to stand in front of her.

"As expected of a Soul Master from Shrek Academy, taking my arrow without falling down or even sustaining serious injury is quite interesting."

As soon as Tang Yaolei said these words, his teammate Yang Yifan and several Soul Master teammates below the stage were instantly stunned.

Dude, if you can't speak properly, just shut up!
After you said that, none of us brothers wanted to continue fighting!

Xu Sanshi was quite disdainful of Tang Yaolei's so-called words of approval and scoffed.

"As expected? Interesting?"

As he spoke, the third soul ring beneath Xu Sanshi's feet shone brightly with purple light, and the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand shone with a bright green light. Xu Sanshi's entire body swelled up a few more times, and his shirt was torn apart by his solid muscles.

He no longer resembles a Soul Master; rather, he is more like a ferocious Soul Beast.

"He's just an ordinary Soul King, a guy who can only shoot five arrows. Does he really think he's qualified to comment on Shrek Academy's strength?"

When Xu Sanshi opened his eyes again, a dangerous glint shone forth.

"Let's make a bet. We'll bet that one Soul Master and one Soul Venerable can take you down in a minute. What do you say?"

At this moment, the aura that Xu Sanshi exuded and his confident declaration of completing the task in one minute caused Tang Yaolei, who was originally full of confidence, to shrink her pupils and change her expression drastically!
