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

Chapter 292 The Divine Beast is Out of the Cage
Just as Chen Ping was pondering what exactly the Blessing System and Curse System in Douluo Continent were, the four team captains representing the top four teams had already arrived on the stage.

Shrek Academy has Ma Xiaotao, while Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has Ma Rulong.

The guy sent by Di'ao Academy has broad shoulders, a wide back, and a V-shaped waist; his physique presents a perfectly inverted triangle shape. You can only say that he is worthy of being from Di'ao Academy.

As for Xingluo Academy, the one who naturally came up first was Princess Jiujiu, who hosted the auction.

Today, Xu Jiujiu was different from the elegant and noble woman she was at the auction that day. Dressed in a sharp outfit, her demeanor had changed completely. She exuded a spirited and heroic aura.

Her long, golden hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and she wore a faint smile on her pretty face. Her well-tailored yellow outfit perfectly outlined her delicate figure.

Seeing that it was Ma Xiaotao who came up, Xu Jiujiu stretched out his long, straight fingers, which looked like plum blossom branches, and gently touched a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind on his forehead. He pretended to be surprised and said, "I was really scared by your Shrek's little brother Chen at first."

"Fortunately, although Shrek Academy is full of monsters, it's not that monster-like. Otherwise, he should be the captain who came up to draw lots."

"You Shrek people are indeed amazing, getting this far with just the reserve team. However, this should be the end of the story today."

Xu Jiu smiled sweetly and extended her hand towards Ma Xiaotao, her provocation palpable.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was like a monk in a temple, her usual irritable temper gone, and she just chuckled softly: "How can you be so sure that he's not just being lazy and doing this on purpose?"

"Even if I told you now that Chen Ping is the strongest in our team, I bet you probably wouldn't believe me. Well then, let's see who's the best on the Soul Arena."

After saying this, Ma Xiaotao casually looked away from Xu Jiujiu.

For a moment, the captains of the other three teams, including Xu Jiujiu, became somewhat suspicious.

Shrek Academy had made two threats to Zheng Tian Academy, and the final outcome was exactly as they had predicted: they said they would end the battle in one minute, and they really did end the battle in one minute.

That's why, even though Chen Ping was indeed just an ordinary Soul Master, when Ma Xiaotao said that Chen Ping was the strongest in the team, even though the three captains didn't believe it intuitively, they still subconsciously considered why Ma Xiaotao dared to say such a thing.

Soon, the draw began.

Under the watchful eyes of the four titled Douluo, the four captains approached His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor.

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you young talents. The competition is about to begin. I hope you can uphold the principle of 'friendship first, competition second' and complete this competition."

"I'll throw out four balls with their draw numbers on them later. You all rush to grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"

"Attention."

Emperor Xingluo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then, before anyone could see how he made his move, four golden lights simultaneously rose into the sky.

Ma Xiaotao had been waiting for this moment. As soon as the Star Luo Emperor made his move, she suddenly shot up like a spring, pulling one of the small balls down just as it reached its highest point.

This exaggerated burst of power made the other three captains glance at him slightly, their lips twitching.

You even said Chen Ping is the strongest in your team? With your physique, you could take on all three of us without even using your soul skills in the octagon!
Ma Xiaotao landed lightly, instantly adjusting to her optimal state after that all-out leap.

Whether it was Xu Jiujiu or the other two captains, they could clearly sense the surging fighting spirit bursting forth from Ma Xiaotao's body.

"Number One." Ma Xiaotao's voice was like that of a ravenous lioness, waiting for her prey.

After Chen Ping had Ma Xiaotao recover from her injury, he forcibly kept her on the bench for half a month, a stroke of genius.

How to put it? It's like starving the beast for two days before the fight even starts.

Although this analogy isn't quite accurate, just look at how Ma Xiaotao is now so eager to tear her number one rival to shreds; you can tell that Chen Ping's move, though crudely worded, is not without merit.

"Number 22.2".

The captain of Di'ao Academy was glared at by Ma Xiaotao's fierce eyes. He quickly glanced at his ball guiltily before calming down and stammering out his division.

"I'm number two too!"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's fierce eyes fixed on him, Ma Rulong quickly said...

It was obvious that even if they didn't meet Shrek Academy in the semifinals, they would meet them in the finals. Ma Rulong was very glad that they could delay it a little, at least they wouldn't have to directly face Ma Xiaotao, who hadn't fought in the Soul Arena for half a month and was extremely eager to beat up a few people.

Hopefully, Ma Xiaotao won't go crazy like this after beating up the people from Xingluo Academy.
Xu Jiawei's lips twitched instantly, and his expression turned grim.

If Di'ao Academy and Sun Moon Academy have joined forces, doesn't that mean our own Star Luo Academy is going to fight Shrek Academy?

Xu Jiawei originally hoped that his team could draw Shrek Academy, since losing wouldn't be a big loss and could help suppress Xu Jiujiu's boundless arrogance.

Winning would be an even greater windfall, ending Shrek Academy's reign as champion for countless years. The massive prestige that Star Luo Royal Academy could acquire could be converted into tangible benefits.

But seeing Ma Xiaotao's surging fighting spirit, as if she had entered an endless frenzy state, Xu Jiawei suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

Ma Xiaotao is a bit fierce!
This little girl seems much more difficult to deal with than Dai Hao's eldest son!
Ma Xiaotao was so excited not only because Chen Ping finally let her play, but also because Wang Yan gave her an instruction: "Play freely!"

The reason is simple: the rules for the semi-finals and finals follow the same rules as the previous knockout rounds, and the matches are held over two days, consisting of team battles and individual elimination rounds.

The difference this time is that you have to defeat all seven opponents to win the individual battle.

In this way, the outcome of team battles is no longer the key to determining the winner.

If the score is tied, a tiebreaker of 2-2-3 will be played, with the winner determined by a best-of-three series.

Therefore, Wang Yan's meaning is very clear: if you're going to fight, then in team battles, you must rout your opponents and render them unable to put up a fight in the individual elimination rounds.

Forget about a third match, he just wants a decisive first round!

Such a difficult task could only be entrusted to Ma Xiaotao.

Only at this moment did Wang Yan finally reveal the decisiveness and ruthlessness that a team leader should have when deploying tactics.
