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

Chapter 568 Zoo Party
Orange pushed Xu Tianran to the center of the podium. She did not sit down, but stood next to Xu Tianran. The Princess Regent refused to sit down, and the other ministers naturally did not dare to sit down after they came up panting, so they all stood on the rostrum.

Xu Tianran nodded to Orange.

Orange slowly stepped forward and came to the soul amplifier that had been prepared. Her beautiful voice quickly spread throughout the audience.

"quiet."

A deep voice suddenly rang out, its powerful aura instantly spreading throughout the entire area. The instant this voice appeared, everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if dark clouds were pressing down upon them. Even their breathing became rapid.

All the murmurs vanished instantly in that low voice. The entire competition venue and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the spectator area became completely silent in an instant; you could hear a pin drop.

What kind of power is this?! To be able to generate such terrifying pressure. Single-handedly, causing hundreds of thousands to tremble. Is this kind of power truly attainable by a Soul Master?
Chen Ping followed the source of the gaze and saw a middle-aged man with short, silver hair that was very fine and stiff, like steel needles. He had bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, and was quite handsome.

Only the other person's pair of purple eyes, which gleamed with an evil aura, reminded Chen Ping that this person was not as heroic and righteous as he appeared.

With silver hair, purple eyes, and a terrifying aura far exceeding that of ordinary Super Douluo, Chen Ping instantly locked onto this person's true identity based on these three characteristics.

The holder of the Death God Puppet Martial Soul, a level 98 Super Douluo on par with Elder Xuan, and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu!
Seeing this, Chen Ping was slightly puzzled. The newcomer was actually Zhongli Wu, the Grand Preceptor of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, and not the Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao?
Even if he used a trick, his punch should have only caused this Dragon Emperor Douluo a minor injury at most, right?
Or perhaps that Dragon Emperor Douluo simply didn't want to come because he thought he might see him today and felt disgusted?

Thinking back to Zhang Peng's expression when he encountered Scorpion Tiger Douluo a couple of days ago, Chen Ping strongly suspected it was the latter.

Only then did Orange clear her throat, and her voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the soul-guided loudspeaker.

"Citizens of the Sun Moon Empire and guests from afar, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I welcome you."

"At the same time, on behalf of His Highness the Regent, I hereby announce: the Continental Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament shall now begin."

The opening remarks were very simple, without any excessive high-sounding nonsense.

After the people of the Sun Moon Empire cheered "Long live the Emperor!" and the host finished reading the competition rules, an old man walked to the loudspeaker in front of the podium.

He announced loudly: "The first match of the preliminary elimination rounds—Shrek Academy versus Dragon Slayer Sect, each side sends seven members to the waiting area."

The waiting area is located in front of the rest area under the shade pavilion; it consists of two dedicated zones.

In reality, there were only seven chairs placed 20 meters apart.

Without hesitation, Chen Ping stood up and leaped into the air. Like a cheetah, he flew dozens of meters, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed in the waiting area almost without making a sound.

This effortless feat, accomplished purely through physical strength, caused the captains of the top teams present to instinctively shrink their pupils.

Chen Ping's leap and landing, which resembled that of a lynx, was a demonstration of his ability without making a sound.

Chen Ping's attention was focused on the Dragon Slaying Sect at this moment.

Well, this name is really flashy. It's a good thing the mythical beast didn't turn into a human, otherwise, hearing this name would probably make people want to punch the team.

If the members of the Dragon Slaying Sect truly possessed a dog-legged saber martial spirit called Dragon Slaying, or a massive door-sized saber like the one in Legend of Conquerors, capable of unleashing a devastating attack, then Chen Ping would have nothing to say.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, the martial souls of the members of the Dragon Slaying Sect were utterly ridiculous: electric falcons, bronze bulls, turkeys—it was like a zoo throwing a party. Even all of them together might not be enough for a sub-dragon type soul beast to swallow whole. To dare call themselves the Dragon Slaying Sect was truly astonishing.

The unlucky Dragon Slayer Sect, which encountered Shrek Academy in the first round, has also sent seven people into the waiting area.

However, to the surprise of the Shrek Academy students watching from the stands, the seven members of the Dragon Slayer Sect seemed quite confident.

They showed absolutely no fear despite facing the previous champion. That's quite impressive!
What they didn't realize was that after this competition allowed sects to participate, most sects didn't really respect the academy.

The time allotted for academy instruction is limited, except for a very few exceptional individuals. The training methods employed by academies differ significantly from those of traditional sects.

Joining a sect usually means spending your entire life within that sect. Many sects with long histories and traditions have their own unique characteristics.

The Dragon Slaying Sect is a sect with a history of over a thousand years, originating from the Douling Empire. It is a traditional Soul Master sect.

How deep is this sect's tradition? They know that Shrek Academy is the number one academy in the world. Assuming that one hundred new titles are created in Douluo Continent every year, at least thirty and at most fifty of them have been educated at Shrek Academy.

However, all of the above does not change their belief that Shrek Academy, as an academy, must have students who are not good at fighting, and compared to a sect with a thousand-year history, they would most likely be destroyed at the slightest touch.

Chen Ping didn't have much to say about this. These people didn't seem to care much about wandering around with the name of the Dragon Slaying Sect, so it wasn't surprising that Shrek Academy wasn't that good at fighting.

"Please have the Shrek Academy participants enter the venue quickly."

On the platform, the elderly man in charge of the event gave a reminder.

Chen Ping waved to him: "We have enough people. Shrek Academy will only send one person for this match."

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback at first. After inquiring about Xu Tianran's opinion, he announced: "Referees, please enter. Shrek Academy's only contestant, please enter. Dragon Slayer Sect's first-place contestant in the elimination round, please enter."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded.

Shrek only sent one person to participate?

That's incredibly arrogant!
Of course, this is the reaction of the audience below the stage, not including the reactions of the top teams closest to the arena.

The lesser sects and clans are blinded by their own narrow perspectives, while the truly powerful and prestigious sects and top-tier institutions are increasingly wary of the confidence Chen Ping is displaying.

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on him, especially those of the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

That was truly the closest they ever came to the championship. In the end, only three members of Shrek Academy's regular team made it onto the field, while the rest were just low-level Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters, like the rest of the team members on the side of the road.

Yet, even under these circumstances, Chen Ping, a low-level Soul Master who was at most level 31 or 32, personally destroyed their dream of winning the championship.

Chen Ping was so cold-blooded and ruthless, like a butcher who had slaughtered countless people. In the team battle of the finals, he instantly unleashed six soul skills, shattering the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!
Five years later, everyone wants to know just how much he has grown.
