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

Chapter 488 Your Words Are the Principle

Having not been back for two and a half years, I now truly feel like I'm coming home.

"Everyone, go back and rest. Chen Ping, you'll stay at the Sea God Pavilion for now. We'll arrange accommodations for you after the events are over in a few days," Elder Xuan said to Chen Ping.

"An event? What event?" Chen Ping wondered.

Yan Shaozhe saw through his thoughts and smiled, "Silly boy, forget about it. It's time for our academy's outer college to enter the inner college for the entrance examination."

Chen Ping then suddenly realized what was going on.

Shrek Academy's inner academy holds an entrance examination annually. The examination is primarily for senior students from the outer academies.

However, some outstanding students from other colleges who want to enter Shrek Academy's inner court can also come to participate in the assessment at this time with a recommendation letter from their respective college.

If you pass the assessment, you can become a member of Shrek Academy's inner circle.

However, because Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department is the best in the entire continent, it is extremely difficult for students from other academies to pass Shrek Academy's rigorous inner court examinations. It's considered very good if one or two students pass each year; more often than not, there aren't any outside students at all.

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Chen Ping immediately remembered.

If he remembered correctly, in the original story, Shrek Academy received a Soul Master with the Snow Maiden Martial Soul from another academy during this exam.

This is a genuine Ice Spirit Master with the same ultimate Ice Spirit as the Ice Jade Scorpion; he's practically a Super Douluo prospect delivered right to our doorstep.

As it turns out, the girl seemed to have disappeared completely after appearing only once at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. If she had come a few years earlier, Xu Sanshi probably wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, he was already seventeen years old. He had not only become a leading figure among the new generation of soul masters at Shrek Academy, but had also become a prospective elder of the Sea God Pavilion.

Although the words "Sea God" before places like Sea God Island, Sea God Lake, and Sea God Pavilion sound a bit off-putting, the title actually excited Chen Ping quite a bit.

Anyway, sooner or later he'll have to go to the God Realm and give Tang San a good slap, making him spin like a top. Until then, being a prospective elder of the Sea God Pavilion is just part of his beating fee.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't believe in the Sea God, Tang San's Sea God Pavilion won't get him any faith for free.

Once he actually becomes the head of the Sea God Pavilion, Chen Ping will take the time to change the name of the Sea God Pavilion, thus cutting off this bastard's means of steadily living off the faith's welfare.

Using the peace and stability that countless disciples of the Inner Academy fought and bled for as a means to seize faith, and even deliberately balancing the combat power between the Shrek Academy Inspection Team and the evil soul masters, Chen Ping will settle this score with Tang San sooner or later, along with other scores.

Upon seeing the gates of Shrek Academy and the familiar handwriting again, Chen Ping subconsciously stretched.

He's back where the dream began!
"Yan Yuan, how about I also participate in the Inner Academy assessment? I heard that Elder Mu has introduced a new rule that now requires Soul Masters to be proficient in using Soul Tools in order to pass the Inner Academy assessment."

Chen Ping, feeling a little itchy to speak, blushed slightly.

Yan Shaozhe looked at him strangely and chuckled, "What? Want to show off your strength in front of this year's participants? Of course, you can if you want." "But, you're the key figure who led the team to victory in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament as a reserve member, and you're going to participate in the Inner Academy's promotion assessment? Aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping chuckled and said, "What you're saying is just for the sake of procedural justice. In principle, all students from the outer academy who want to enter the inner academy must undergo an examination, right? I'm doing this for the benefit of you deans."

Elder Xuan smiled at him and said, "Alright, what kind of test are you going to take? Winning the bet against the Dragon Emperor Douluo is already the best test you can get."

"He withstood a blow from Dragon Emperor Douluo and even punched Dragon Emperor Douluo, sending him flying backward."

"Look across the entire world, throughout history, even including all the opponents that Dragon Emperor Douluo faced in his youth, how many could do that?"

"I think if this is the standard, then no one else in this year's candidates will pass the test except you."

"Besides, you're already a prospective elder of Shrek Sea God Pavilion. Your words are part of the principles. Don't talk nonsense about procedural justice. What's the point of causing your juniors to lose their Dao hearts?"

Your words are part of the principle themselves!

Elder Xuan's words truly gave Chen Ping a feeling of being in a different world. Indeed, if Shrek Academy were considered a small country, then every inner court student who had passed the examination would be a formal citizen of that country.

In a country with a total population of only a few hundred, the opinions of each individual are invaluable and of utmost importance.

Meanwhile, the prospective elders of Shrek Sea God Pavilion hold an even higher position within the organization.

Back then, Chen Ping needed a recommendation letter written by someone at the level of the city lord of the main city to gain admission.

His current status far exceeds that of a mere city lord; he should at least be at the level of a provincial governor or a prefectural governor.

After being told this by Elder Xuan, Chen Ping stopped trying to join the fun at the assessment and instead followed the winding path toward Poseidon Island in the center of Poseidon Lake.

"Elder Xuan, Dean Yan, Teacher, I'd like to visit Elder Mu first."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan nodded: "Go, go. Elder Mu must be missing you too. We have other things to do, so don't worry about us."

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping activated his flying soul tool on his back once more, unleashing two blazing tail flames with several Mach rings, and flew towards the center of Seagod Island at an extremely high speed.

"Hey, Chen Ping, you're finally back! Make me two more pots of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall when you have time!"

When Chen Ping and the Sea God Lake appeared together, a flash of inspiration struck Elder Xuan, and his appetite was instantly whetted.

He remembered that Chen Ping used to bring him Buddha Jumps Over the Wall every week here, and it was because of this that Old Mu was able to steal one of his two jars of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall every week without lifting a finger.

At this moment, Chen Ping had already landed on Poseidon Island and was walking step by step toward the location of the Golden Ancient Tree.
