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

Chapter 554 The Lineup Takes Shape
Although local promotions are often less reliable than those parachuted in, why should local promotions still be used when it comes to critical moments?

Chen Ping's performance on this trip to the Sea God Island to select reserve team members for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament speaks volumes.

As a local from the School of Foreign Languages, he didn't need to go through any formal paperwork to carry out his work there. For example, he didn't need to contact Yan Shaozhe first, then have Yan Shaozhe make arrangements, and finally go through a long and complicated process to get the statistics table of potential talents in the School of Foreign Languages ​​over the past few years.

The moment he arrived at the Foreign Languages ​​Department, he went straight to Du Weilun, the Dean of Students. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he obtained the specific information about the students in these grades. His efficiency was astonishing.

When he left Du Weilun's office to find Wang Yan and Mu Jin, who were teaching other classes this year, Chen Ping already had his answer in mind for the two reserve team members.

Yes, two reserve teams. This was also Mu En's idea. Since the Sun Moon Empire insisted on creating some trouble and establishing a competition system that allowed sects to participate, the academy didn't mind playing along and sending an extra reserve team to broaden their horizons.

It was already class time, and the outer academy was very quiet, with the vast majority of students attending classes inside. However, some were still outside.

At this moment, a class is conducting a practical Soul Master combat training session in Shrek Square.

As Chen Ping, wearing the inner academy's hastily reissued uniform, walked towards the inner academy's teaching building, the students, whose average age was only twelve or thirteen, stared wide-eyed.

"Look, it's an inner court senior, an inner court senior wearing red clothes."

"Wow, Inner Court seniors? Aside from seeing some Inner Court seniors sparring around the Sea God Lake last time, I haven't seen any other Inner Court seniors."

"I was there during that sparring session too. The final battle was like everyone was throwing their Martial Soul Avatars everywhere; it was so spectacular."

"You're shameless! It sounds like you went to participate in the competition, but you're not like us, just sitting quietly by the lake watching the game."

For a moment, the students' whispers filled the air.

Although Chen Ping's face didn't show any particular expression, he was overjoyed inside.

Wow, time flies! In the blink of an eye, he went from a freshman in a white school uniform to a senior student in the inner academy who was rarely seen in the school.

"You little brats, I told you to practice on your own for a while, and you're trying to fool me like this? You bunch of rascals, all you know is how to cheat and be cunning. You're not as honest as the students I taught before."

Just then, a clear and polite female voice rang out, and a familiar figure walked out from around the corner, giving a somewhat helpless reprimand.

Immediately, the students on the playground quieted down, stopped whispering, and started practicing diligently.

"Teacher, it's me."

Just then, Chen Ping reached out and waved to the female teacher who came out from around the corner.

"Chen Ping?"

The female teacher turned her head and said with a hint of surprise, "Who else could it be but Mu Jin?"

"It's me, Teacher Mu. Should I call out now?"

Just as Chen Ping was about to change how he addressed Mu Jin, Mu Jin rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"We're still at school, don't shout like that." Although that's what she said, Mu Jin's expression clearly showed a hint of happiness.

"Ever since the Sea God's Fate, you finally remembered to come and see me and Wang Yan. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Wang Yan didn't have a nephew like you."

At this moment, Mu Jin's words carried a hint of teasing, without any blaming tone, but Chen Ping still scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"This is my fault. I've been so busy since I came back from the Sun Moon Empire that I haven't had any time to spare."

"Alright, I know you're a busy guy," Mu Jin chuckled. "So, what brings you here this time?"

"Of course, we're here to select reserve team members for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. We have a lot of spots this time, a full fourteen. Teacher, do you have any recommendations?"

After explaining the whole story, Mu Jin nodded, introduced Chen Ping to the students in the class, and asked Chen Ping to pick a few students to leave.

That wasn't all. Mu Jin even dismissed the students ahead of time, contacted other teachers, and called out all the top students from other grades, allowing Chen Ping to complete the recruitment of reserve team members with almost no effort.

Of course, the fight still has to happen.

Despise Xuanzi, understand Xuanzi, become Xuanzi.

Although Chen Ping kept his distance from Xuanzi's unreliability, he was quite adept at selecting members for the preliminary team through fighting.

After several battles, not only were all the team members for the preliminary selection gathered, but Chen Ping also managed to assign the two reserve teams and send the reserve teams assigned to the Tang Clan to them.

The average level of the two reserve teams this time is much higher than that of their previous year. They are basically all level 40 Soul Masters, and the few level 30 ones are all high-level Soul Venerables. They are also more and more proficient in using their Soul Guidance Devices.

To Chen Ping's surprise, in order to make Tang Sect famous through this competition, Bei Bei and Tang Ya finally stopped insisting on the outrageous sect rule that required people to kowtow upon entering the sect and that anyone who left would be hunted down to death.

Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Xie Huanyue were all recruited into the Tang Sect team by Bei Bei as temporary workers, and they were free to come and go as they pleased.

Therefore, this Tang Sect team has successfully reached the level of a top-tier tournament powerhouse with four Soul Emperors and three Soul Kings. Even in the new tournament system where there are many strong players, they can at least guarantee a top-eight finish.

Chen Ping could certainly guess why Dai Huabin joined the Tang Clan competition, but he didn't care anymore.

Since Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao in the original work wanted to join the Tang Clan, Tang Ya insisted that they win the freshman competition before they could join.

It just so happens that he brought these two people and Huo Yuhao into the main team. On the one hand, this would make up the number of main team members, and on the other hand, it would help Huo Yuhao settle the score in the next competition.

Dai Huabin's team is very powerful because Zhu Lu helps them activate the Netherworld White Tiger, but their team also has Ning Tian, ​​who can activate six attributes with a 70% increase.

If they really fought, it wouldn't be impossible for Huo Yuhao to take down both of them by himself.

Just as Chen Ping had predicted, upon hearing that Dai Huabin was in the Tang Clan team, Huo Yuhao immediately patted his chest and accepted the task of intercepting Dai Huabin.

He didn't have time to deal with Dai Huabin during the last Sea God's Fate event, but this time he finally got his chance.
