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

Chapter 553 Tournament Format Changes (8K)

“Yes,” Mu En nodded, “This silly boy is even more stubborn than you. He insists on restoring the Tang Clan, and he even dragged Xu Sanshi, the young sect leader of the Xuanming Sect, and that girl named Jiang Nannan into the Tang Clan. Sigh, what kind of mess is this?”

"In short, including that girl named Tang Ya, they now have four people. They are recruiting members and preparing to let the Tang Clan participate in the competition as an independent sect."

"This may sound absurd, but to be honest, it's a double insurance."

"It is not difficult to see from the results of previous conferences that the Sun Moon Empire's national strength has almost reached the point where it can rival the Douluo Three Kingdoms on its own."

"If Shrek Academy really loses a championship, the day when the Sun Moon Empire launches a continental war is probably not far off."

"I have confidence in your team winning the championship. You have the shadow of me and Xiaoyao back in the day."

"So, the reason I agreed to send one member of the Tang Clan to fight for Beibei was mainly because I'm getting old and couldn't go against the younger generation in my family, so I just let him go."

"But thinking about it, this makes sense. The Sea God Pavilion Masters of Shrek Academy in previous generations were basically the captains of the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation. In this way, it will be more legitimate for you to take over the Sea God Pavilion in the future."

At this point, Moon smiled slightly, clearly somewhat helpless about this accidental turn of events.

"Don't worry, Elder Mu. In terms of warfare, we may be lacking against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. But in terms of individual combat strength, they cannot compare to us."

"This is determined by the differences in characteristics between Soul Masters and Soul Masters. If we take the factor of Soul Tools into account, this gap will not be narrowed. After all, the new generation of Soul Masters in our academy are in no way inferior to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the use of Soul Tools."

When Chen Ping said those words, his eyes revealed an undisguised, powerful confidence.

"Hehehe, since you say so, I'm completely relieved. Five years isn't a long time, but it has brought about a dramatic change in the attitudes of the Martial Soul Department students towards Soul Tools."

"All of these changes originated from you. If it weren't for your talent for soul tools and your understanding of martial souls, I might not have been able to make the decision to force the entire academy to change direction."

"So far, the results are good, very good."

"Just yesterday, the academy received a message through special channels, and this message is not good news for the academy."

"The new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will be held in the Sun Moon Empire. Undoubtedly, holding the competition in our opponent's stronghold is very disadvantageous for us."

“If you don’t obtain the shell of the legendary Rainbow Scale Mystic Light Mirage on this trip, even if Xuanzi leads the team the whole time, I won’t feel comfortable letting you go to the Sun Moon Empire, lest you really go and never come back.”

"But, since you have such a treasure that even I, an old man, cannot discern with my spiritual power without careful examination, it would be good for you to make a trip."

"You can't grow a pine tree that lasts for ten thousand years in a greenhouse, and you can't run a thoroughbred horse in a courtyard. If you want to climb step by step to the top of the entire Soul Master world, you must have enough powerful enough opponents as whetstones to sharpen your precious sword."

At this point, Moon opened his slightly narrowed eyes, shooting out two chilling beams of light. His expression seemed to have returned to the time when he single-handedly subdued the world.

At this moment, the only feeling Mu En gave Chen Ping was that of a withered dragon, which, though old, still inspired no resistance.

"So, go out and make your way. Since you managed to survive a near-death experience in the Star Dou Forest, with the help of this mirage shell, you should be able to come back unscathed." "The geniuses that the major sects used to keep hidden are now out there to show their faces. You're lacking opponents, and the major sects have sent them all over. It would be a waste not to teach them a lesson, wouldn't it?"

Chen Ping couldn't help but chuckle at Mu En's tone, which completely disregarded the other sects' participating team members.

"Changing the competition format is somewhat targeted at us, making it more difficult to win. As a result, the number of participating teams will likely double, and the competition time will also be extended."

Mu En said, "That's right. The emergence of this new competition system will inevitably receive the support of various sects on the continent, especially the powerful sects. The competition is the best opportunity to showcase oneself, and for these sects, it is naturally an invaluable publicity channel."

"Just like the Body Sect where Poison Undying is located, they would definitely be happy to participate and must have the confidence to win the championship."

"In short, changing the competition format is an inevitable trend, and even Shrek Academy can't change anything. But since the competition format is going to be changed this time, the rewards will likely increase accordingly."

"The opportunity to make a fortune has arrived. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you, little guy."

"Don't worry about that."

Chen Ping nodded, but inwardly he felt somewhat helpless.

Moon's intuition remained accurate, and his judgment was indeed correct. With the reform of this competition, the Sun Moon Empire had indeed significantly increased the competition rewards, directly setting the grand prizes for the top three as level nine, level eight, and level seven soul tools.

However, this was actually just a worthless promise.

Because the Sun Moon Empire forcibly suspended the competition before it was even over and started arresting people, the rewards that were mentioned earlier naturally became nonsense.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't tell Mu En these things. Even if there were no rewards from the competition, there were other underground black market competitions in Mingdu. He could just go to the underground black market competitions in Mingdu and earn them back.

So Chen Ping simply said, "It's easy to choose our Shrek Academy's starting players; we can just pick a few more students."

"On the contrary, where will the Tang Clan find the three missing regular players?"

Mu En laughed and said, "That's not a problem for you and me to worry about. Either we just grab a few Soul Masters or Soul Venerables to join the team and fight it out, or we go and recruit other people to join the Tang Sect. Anyway, the academy can't help in every aspect."

"They already have three Soul Emperors and one Soul King. Even if the remaining team members are not quite up to par, it doesn't really matter."

"This competition is different from the last one. Participating in the inspection team mission requires half of the team to go offline to recuperate, so we can only rely on the reserve team to fight to the end."

"If the Tang Sect relies solely on the academy, it won't be able to develop."

"As for you, now go to the Foreign Languages ​​Department to find some candidates, take a few promising talents from the Foreign Languages ​​Department to broaden their horizons, just like you guys did back then, to prepare for the next competition."

"The new dormitory building of the Foreign Languages ​​Department has started construction. Right now, you are the hottest star in the entire Shrek Foreign Languages ​​Department. They will listen to you no matter how you choose good candidates. Just go ahead and choose."
