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

Chapter 530 The Pavilion Master Who Cuts in Line
"Hehe, my physical condition is just so-so, that's why I didn't show up at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, don't be too surprised."

Moon's voice echoed throughout the conference room: "What do you all think we should do? All I can say is that the academy did indeed nurture Chen Ping, but his contributions to the academy have far exceeded what the academy gave him. Does anyone disagree with that?"

The elders fell silent for a moment. The academy had indeed given Chen Ping a lot of resources, but no matter how many resources they had, could they compare to the mining map that Chen Ping had brought from the memories of the mythical beast, or the new flying soul tool and the matching battle armor?

Furthermore, that ring was made using rare metals that are priceless, refined through a process of thousand-times forging, spirit forging, and smelting.

Compared to all that, the college's meager resources are really just for fun.

It was only a couple of days ago that Mu En, without saying a word, gave Chen Ping a 100,000-year-old Hellish Mad Dragon skull after Chen Ping returned, that these elders felt comfortable chatting with Chen Ping.

If they didn't even give Chen Ping a 100,000-year-old soul bone, they would probably feel very uncomfortable sitting next to him.

Moon's voice continued, "Now he's going to give this precious research to the academy. To be honest, it's like asking for free, and I don't think anyone would dare to say that, right?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

But what can the academy offer Chen Ping now?

What Chen Ping lacks now is those rare and precious herbs that can defy fate and change one's destiny, but the problem is that they don't have them either.

Not to mention that there are no more celestial herbs, Shrek Academy doesn't even have any second-tier treasures like the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow.

Otherwise, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire wouldn't have needed to wait until Huo Yuhao, the Soul Master with the second Martial Soul, Ultimate Ice, arrived to finally suppress it.

"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I already discussed this matter with the senior members of the academy last night. Big things are discussed in small meetings, and small things are discussed in large meetings. You must understand this principle."

Mu En's voice was kind as he spoke, subtly imparting his insights on personnel management to Chen Ping.

"Although this is your first time attending the Sea God Pavilion meeting, I must say you performed very well, even better than I expected."

“Now, on behalf of the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy, I accept all the technology you have bestowed upon me.”

"However, this valuable research can be published under the name of the academy, but in the Sea God Pavilion library, it will always be attributed to you."

"In addition, as the current Sea God Pavilion Master, I hereby appoint you as the Sea God Pavilion Master who will be allowed to skip the queue. The condition for skipping the queue is that your soul power level must break through level ninety. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was greatly surprised. What did the Sea God Pavilion Master mean by this queue-jumping?
Moon's question, "Is there no problem?" was clearly directed at the other elders present, but it was obvious that no one had any objections to the decision.

Seemingly sensing Chen Ping's confusion, Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "To put it simply, we are all helping you, young man Chen, to shoulder the main responsibility."

"Logically speaking, after Elder Mu passed away, the person who should take over and inherit the position of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master should be me, and then Shao Zhe."

"But in any case, as long as you break through level 90, you will automatically become the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. When Shao Zhe is in office, you will take over Shao Zhe's position, and when I am in office, you will take over my position."

"Of course," Elder Xuan chuckled, "If you can break through to level 90 before Elder Mu leaves, you can directly take over the responsibility from Elder Mu, and that would make things much easier for us." Immediately, not only Elder Xuan laughed, but Yan Shaozhe and the others also relaxed and laughed.

The position of Sea God Pavilion Master carries too heavy a responsibility. If they could avoid it, they would definitely want to maintain the status quo and wait for the leader to arrange the major development direction and tasks, which they would then carry out directly.

Every day upon waking, one must begin to worry whether a power with a history spanning millennia will suffer various problems due to its own flawed decisions, resulting in a tarnished reputation, declining power, or even being completely obliterated into the dust of history.

Such a burden can be carried for decades or even centuries; only an iron man could bear it.

The principle of equal rights and responsibilities is the simplest of all.

The Lord of the Sea God Pavilion is one of the most powerful people on this continent, but at the same time, he also bears the heaviest responsibilities every day.

The reason for choosing to make Chen Ping the Sea God Pavilion Master after reaching level 90 was twofold: firstly, to minimize delays in Chen Ping's cultivation speed; and secondly, because with his talent, the combat power he could unleash after reaching level 90 was already sufficient to handle the troubles that the Sea God Pavilion Master would need to deal with.

Chen Ping subconsciously glanced at Zhang Lexuan sitting opposite him, then at Huo Yuhao, his eyes widening in surprise.

What does this amount to?
This means that once Mu En falls, before Chen Ping reaches the title of Title Douluo and inherits the position of Sea God Pavilion Master, the title of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master will have to be preceded by the word "Acting".

Elder Xuan smiled and said, "You don't need to look at Le Xuan and Yu Hao. Le Xuan will be cultivated as a backup successor for the next generation. Moreover, before that, she will have to take over the Shrek City defense or the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and move forward step by step."

"As for Yuhao, he'll just have to make do for now. Once he achieves his title, he'll start as the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department. At the same time, Yuhao will receive the same treatment as Lexuan, being groomed as a potential successor to the Sea God Pavilion and officially entering the line of succession."

Only then did Chen Ping truly realize the significance of the word "queue-jumping" in his title of "Lord of the Sea God Pavilion."

He skipped over at least several potential successors, including Huo Yuhao of the same generation, Zhang Lexuan of the previous generation, Shi Xing, the Shrek City Lord of the generation before that, and the four deans of Shrek Academy!

"Does anyone have any objections?" Elder Mu turned his gaze to the assembled elders.

The result was unanimous approval, without a doubt.

Chen Ping demonstrated his strength at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event yesterday. Although he had the advantage of attribute and bloodline suppression when facing Su Tong, his abilities were still deeply recognized by the elders.

He treated the academy as his own home and donated such valuable research to it. Even the most demanding senior scholars couldn't find fault with him.

Elder Xuan continued, "Alright, since no one has raised any objections, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree, please raise your hands."

Except for Chen Ping himself, all the members of the Sea God Pavilion raised their right hands at the same time, which meant that Elder Xuan's proposal had been passed unanimously.

From this moment on, Chen Ping was no longer just a member of the Sea God Pavilion, although this identity would not be made public. His status within Shrek Academy would be significantly elevated.
