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

Chapter 285 Please be patient

The reason is simple: Ma Xiaotao truly owes Chen Ping a life, and Chen Ping saved her life with his soul tool.

Although looking down on soul tools has become somewhat ingrained in Ma Xiaotao's mind.

But when Ma Xiaotao used her rarely used, almost brand-new little brain, she was still able to figure out how powerful the soul tool was.

Dai Yueheng, on the other hand, was secretly amused without making a sound. He no longer had any prejudice against soul tools, and Chen Ping couldn't bring himself to criticize him.

As the game time approaches, the atmosphere among the audience becomes more and more lively.

This is a knockout tournament, specifically the round of 16. Losing means leaving the tournament, while winning a match means moving up a rank significantly.

Without a doubt, every college that comes to participate will give it their all under these circumstances.

"In the round of 16, the first match is between Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy and Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Both teams have entered the waiting area to prepare for the match."

Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo arrived at the city wall early, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Well, compared to Xu Jiawei on ordinary days, Xu Jiawei was a bit different today; he came on stage with dark circles under his eyes.

It's obvious that dealing with Cheng Gang's matter yesterday probably kept Xu Jiawei up all night, and it's hard to say what time he went to bed.

Led by Wang Yan, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Yao Haoxuan, Chen Ping, Ning Tian, ​​Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan followed him into the waiting area.

Chen Ping hadn't originally planned to come up today, but the Dragon Emperor's Domain that Bei Bei had unleashed was too taxing, and given that the Douling Academy they were facing today might pull some tricks, Chen Ping decided to come up anyway.

When the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy saw that Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were among the team members participating today, they immediately became vigilant.

In the previous competition, Dai Yueheng appeared as the captain of the reserve team. However, Ma Xiaotao did not participate in the previous competition. Therefore, Dai Yueheng naturally received the most attention.

Seven people file on stage.

On the other side, the members of Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy also walked towards the stage.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng stood at the very front.

Their opponents were from the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Standing in front was a young man who looked to be about the same age as Dai Yueheng.

The young man had a large frame, but was very thin. His cheeks were even somewhat sunken. However, his eyes were bright and piercing.

The rest of the Fighting Spirit team behind him all looked very confident, as if they were quite sure they could defeat Shrek Academy.

He stepped forward, walked to the referee's side, and said to Shrek Academy, "It is an honor to fight against Shrek Academy. Gu Zhujian, please give me your guidance."

Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao exchanged a glance, both quite surprised.

Back at breakfast, Chen Ping had mentioned something: if the people from Douling Academy seemed eager to spar with Shrek Academy, we should be prepared for the possibility that Douling Academy might be up to something.

The tricks Chen Ping mentioned were naturally similar to Xu Sanshi's Xuanming substitution technique.

Seeing that the people from Douling Academy actually had such an expression, with even a hint of smugness in their eyes that they might be about to overthrow Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng also became wary.

They had witnessed firsthand how effective Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement Yin Person technique was in the mixed battle arranged by Elder Xuan. If Douling Academy had indeed prepared a similar trick, they would really have to be cautious in dealing with it.

Seeing the expressions on Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng's faces as they looked at him, Gu Zhujian suddenly became wary and thought to himself, "This is bad. Why aren't the Shrek Academy people being arrogant anymore?"
The arrow was already on the string and had to be released. Although the sudden increase in vigilance from Shrek Academy was not a good thing, Guzhu Sword had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue the charade. "Both sides retreat and prepare for the match."

As both sides retreated, their formations began to change.

On Shrek Academy's side, standing at the front were naturally Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.

Chen Ping, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi stood in the second row, leaving Ning Tian, ​​a pure support type, and Yao Haoxuan, a support/control type, at the back to hold the line.

On the other side, the Fighting Spirit Team also formed a battle formation as they retreated. However, a scene that surprised Shrek Academy unfolded.

As the captain and a powerful offensive Soul Master, Gu Zhujian did not appear at the front of their team, but instead stood in the center.

At the front are Qian Yuan, the Terrorclaw Bear War Soul King, and Chi Hengyu, the defensive Diamond Giant Shield War Soul King.

The agility-based warrior spirit, Wang Hanling'er, was hiding very close behind them.

Meanwhile, two control-type Soul Masters in the team were actually standing on the flanks.

They protected the Guzhu Sword, which was in the core position behind them, as well as Tang Niu Niu, the support-type weapon spirit master at the very back.

This formation can only be described as weird. The attack-type battle soul masters actually stood where the control-type soul masters should be. What are they going to do?
Having experienced a battle technique called "Four Shields Combined into One Fortress, Ice and Fire Dual Control Thousand-Strike Spear," the Shrek members almost instantly raised their eyebrows.

The subtle hints were so strong that even before the Fighting Spirit Academy made a move, the Shrek Academy members, whose experience in major competitions was gradually increasing, had already discerned their tactical intentions.

Previously, Chen Ping didn't understand why there was an old saying that you could tell what kind of poop someone was going to take just by looking at their buttocks.

Now Chen Ping really understands: these kinds of tricks are just the same old thing, always the same old tricks.

The referee saw that both teams were in position. After making gestures to the captains of both teams, he shouted, "The game begins."

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng simultaneously unleashed six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—and their auras burst forth unreservedly around the arena.

This immediately changed the expressions of the students watching the battle.

Damn it, Shrek's reserve team is already so tough to deal with, even a Soul King can achieve a one-versus-seven victory in a match, with these two Soul Emperors here, who can withstand them!
The other members of Shrek Academy also released their martial souls, but Chen Ping hesitated subconsciously for a moment when releasing his.

Well, he's worried that some idiots might mistake him for a reincarnated 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Compared to Shrek's calm and composed demeanor, the Fighting Spirit team looked like they were in a real crisis.

After the seven people released their martial souls, three of them had already released their soul skills.

Chi Hengyu, the Soul King of the Vajra Shield Martial Soul, directly unleashed his fifth Soul Skill—Vajra Barrier.

The already enormous Vajra Shield instantly expanded, splitting into two, then four, and finally eight.

Almost instantly, it transformed into a vast shield wall, forcefully blocking everything in front of it.

That was bad enough, but the key point was that immediately afterward, a layer of earthy yellow light spread out from under the feet of the Douling Academy students, and the entire arena began to shake violently.

With a thunderous roar, earthen spikes emerged from in front of Chi Hengyu's Vajra Barrier, pointing outwards in unison. Combined with the thick earthen walls, Chi Hengyu's defense was virtually impenetrable.

If the Thousand Spirits Academy used a shield-and-poke tactic before, then the Fighting Spirits Academy now uses a pure turtle-like tactic, taking hits without fighting back, the core of which is four words - "Please be patient!"
