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

Chapter 261 Application of Trigonometric Functions Based on the Optimal Output Environment During Battle Spirit
Just as Tang Yaolei fired her second arrow at Wu Feng, Xu Sanshi seized this precious window of opportunity and charged towards Tang Yaolei.

There was no other way. As the most terrifying ranged archer, Tang Yaolei had already positioned herself at the edge of her team's arena from the very beginning, trying to maintain as much distance as possible from the Shrek Academy members.

This kid might even know a bit about the law of sines, and understand principles like the Pythagorean theorem, which is why he didn't stand in the center of his own team's fighting arena, but instead stood in the far left corner.

In this way, since the length of the fighting arena is 100 meters, a right triangle is formed by connecting the positions of the two people with the midpoint of the edge of the fighting arena of the Zhengtian Academy. The two legs of the right triangle are naturally 100 and 50 respectively.

Therefore, Tang Yaolei and Xu Sanshi, who are located at the two ends of the hypotenuse, are naturally more than a hundred meters apart.

This distance was enough for him to methodically fire several more arrows at Xu Sanshi.

As for whether Xu Sanshi can understand the reasoning behind this, he probably doesn't.

After all, Shrek Academy doesn't actively teach students about counting rods. Although the library has books on the subject, it only allows students to choose to take the course as an elective; it doesn't force them to learn it.

Xu Sanshi subconsciously felt that Tang Yaolei's chosen position seemed a bit tricky, making it much more difficult for him to rush over and attack her.

Then Xu Sanshi slapped his forehead and wondered why he was worrying about this. Was he supposed to just blindly charge through Tang Yaolei's attacks because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?

I have the same space-type soul skill as Nan Nan!

Having figured this out, Xu Sanshi suddenly twisted his body and rushed towards the edge of the Soul Battle Arena.

Previously, due to Tang Yaolei's positioning, the distance between the opponent and the target had exceeded the maximum range that Xu Sanshi's soul skill could lock onto.

But as Xu Sanshi moved laterally in the direction of Tang Yaolei, the distance between them also got closer and closer because the slope returned to normal!

"So it was because the distance wasn't enough."

Chen Ping then understood why Xu Sanshi hadn't been able to activate the Xuanming Replacement at the beginning.

Whether it's the Xuanming Replacement or Xu Sanshi's later upgrades to Xuanwu Replacement and Xuanwu Summoning, the maximum distance is basically around 100 meters.

Tang Yaolei's deliberately adjusted stance, which allowed her to fire more arrows, forced Xu Sanshi to take two of her arrows first, so that he could find an opportunity to close the distance between them before he could easily activate his soul skill.

Just as he was speaking, Xu Sanshi had already rushed to the edge of the arena, and then, he actually leaped high into the air and jumped directly off the arena.

His action immediately caused a stir among the audience, and even Xu Jiawei, who had been watching intently, looked shocked.

You should know that according to the competition rules, if you step off the competition platform and your feet are on the ground, you will be judged as having lost!

Tang Yaolei's third and fourth spirit rings had already disappeared, turning into a giant purple arrow twisted together, resembling a double helix structure.

Seeing Xu Sanshi's unexpected action, the hand on the bowstring trembled involuntarily, almost causing the arrow to miss its target.

Fortunately, the muscles she had trained day after day since childhood were even more resolute than Tang Yaolei's heart.

After slightly predicting Xu Sanshi's falling path, the purple arrow, which had gathered the power of two thousand-year soul rings, emitted a terrifying explosion the next moment, creating a violent sonic boom cloud, and headed towards Xu Sanshi, as if it wanted to shoot him dead on the spot!
This wasn't because Tang Yaolei was particularly ruthless, but rather out of the utmost respect for Xu Sanshi. If he hadn't had to leave an arrow to finish off Wu Feng, he would have used the Three-Spiral Soul Ring Arrow against Xu Sanshi. Even their captain, Ye Wuqing, wouldn't have been able to withstand that arrow; anyone who tried would have been brought down!
Although Tang Yaolei didn't believe that Xu Sanshi could end the fight with her in a minute, she still gave Shrek Academy, even if Xu Sanshi was just a reserve member, the highest respect.

On the battle stage, the highest respect for your opponent is to eliminate them completely!
The purple arrow, powerful enough to shatter the defenses of a Soul King in an instant, covered nearly a hundred meters and headed towards Xu Sanshi, who had already jumped off the Soul Arena. At the same time, beneath Xu Sanshi's feet, the purple millennium soul ring shone brightly on the arena.

The next moment, Tang Yaolei felt her body lighten, but she saw Xu Sanshi standing where she had been, while she was falling.

"Hmm, something's not right?!"

Tang Yaolei was immediately startled. He and Xu Sanshi had switched positions. Didn't that mean that the arrow he fired after condensing his third and fourth soul rings was aimed at him?

The next moment, a double-helix purple arrow carrying a terrifying shriek came hurtling towards Tang Yaolei!

"In the second, third, and fourth round of competition, Shrek Academy wins the first match."

The referee's voice rang out beside Tang Yaolei.

The purple arrow, powerful enough to pierce through the defenses of a five-ring Soul King, appeared in the referee's hand the next moment, and was crushed completely with a single squeeze.

Tang Yao fell heavily to the ground, instinctively turning his head to look at the other end of the Soul Arena, only to find that his teammate Yang Yifan, who had been injured by his second soul skill Spiral Arrow, had been slapped several times by Wu Feng and was lying on the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

"Well, it really didn't take more than a minute."

Tang Yao swallowed hard, looked at Xu Sanshi who was grinning at her on the Soul Battle Stage, and dejectedly admitted Xu Sanshi's abilities.

If they weren't fighting for their souls, but risking their lives, and their positions were reversed, he wouldn't just lose the match; he would be dead.

Xu Sanshi was grinning from ear to ear. He jumped off the Soul Arena, shook hands with Tang Yaolei, and then swaggered back to the team with Wu Feng.

Soon, the two heroes were treated like heroes, with all sorts of fruits and vegetables being served to them in the rest area.

Xu Sanshi ate a couple of bites of fruit before letting out a long sigh and saying, "That's terrifying. Tang Yaolei's arrow speed is simply impossible to defend against."

"Luckily, Chen Ping, you prepared two tactics for me. I originally planned to switch positions the moment this guy shot the arrow, just like you said, so that he would stab himself and send himself out. But I quickly realized that I couldn't react in time."

"Then we switched to the second tactic, which not only got us swapped out of bounds, but also almost landed him a hit by that arrow by accident, haha."

Under the 2-2-3 format, they only fielded one Soul Master, yet they managed to defeat a Soul King from Zheng Tian Academy, which excited everyone.

The dawn of victory seems to be just around the corner!
At this moment, Shrek Academy has two match points, and Zheng Tian Academy will need to produce at least one Soul King in the next match.

If they also consider that Shrek Academy might send Chen Ping to secure a 2-0 victory, and directly field two Soul Kings at once, then Shrek Academy's third match would be a sure win!
Judging from Wu Feng's performance against Yang Yifan just now, the gap between Soul Masters and ordinary Soul Masters in Shrek Academy has been fully demonstrated.
