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

Chapter 583 The Nemesis Used as a Gun

Huo Yuhao first nodded, then shook his head and said, "No, that's not it."

"Your opponents this time, besides Soul Kings, should include quite a few Soul Emperors, such as that one named Meng Hongchen."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Wang Dong'er's eyes widened: "We're going to fight the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? The third match?"

"It seems to be the case at present."

Chen Ping tilted his head and looked at what Huo Yuhao had picked up—a lottery result notice that a waiter had placed on the bar at some point.

The second round of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has concluded, and forty-two teams have advanced to the third round.

Of these, thirty-two teams will advance to the round-robin stage. Their performance in the third round will then be crucial.

Winning guarantees a place in the round-robin stage, while losing still offers the chance to compete on tiebreakers.

And their opponent in this round-robin tournament is, coincidentally, their old rival from the previous tournament, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!
Wang Dong was dumbfounded. If he were to face this team, although he was confident that he was no weaker than anyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it would be too much to ask her to defeat seven opponents at once.

Along with this notice, an emergency rule adjustment to the competition format was also issued, reducing the contestants' suspension height from the initially unbelievable unlimited height to thirty meters. Ordinary flying soul tools would basically reach the top as soon as they took off.

As soon as the notification of the rule reversal was issued, the academies and sects of the three great empires were almost all overjoyed, mocking the Sun Moon organizers for their initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness, which severely damaged their reputation.

"The organizers of Sun and Moon Empire—no, Sun and Moon Empire—are really too much of a sore loser. They changed the rules in the first place, and now that they see the rules have been changed, they immediately want to change them back. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Wang Dong'er was furious. She clearly hadn't expected the organizers of the Sun and Moon Festival to do something as disgusting as letting the group eat the "Oli Gei" she had produced. They really had the nerve to do something so disgusting!
The rule that there is no height limit for Soul Battles not only greatly favors the Sun Moon Empire, but also gives a huge advantage to offensive Soul Masters like Wang Dong'er who specializes in the Goddess of Light Butterfly.

No matter how fast or agile your flying soul tool is, can it fly faster or more agilely than the Goddess of Light Butterfly, a top-tier flying beast martial soul?

Furthermore, since Wang Dong'er's second, third, and sixth soul skills are all ranged attacks, this rule created by the Sun and Moon organizers is clearly a huge advantage for Wang Dong'er.

Before she could even enjoy herself, the game was reverted. No wonder Wang Dong'er couldn't stand it. She didn't have much hope of winning against all seven opponents to begin with, and now she had even less hope.

"I don't think this was the intention of the Sun Moon Empire. It's just that someone in the organizers took it upon themselves to do this and claim credit, which is why they suddenly changed the rules."

"In this way, although it weakens your and Big Brother's combat capabilities to some extent, it does not substantially reduce our Shrek Academy's ability to compete for the championship. On the contrary, the sects and academies of the Sun Moon Empire will not be able to gain any advantage now."

"Only a fool would do something so stupid. On the contrary, the fact that we drew the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the third elimination round makes me wonder if it was authorized by the Sun Moon Royal Family." Chen Ping's reasonable and well-founded statement made Wang Dong feel a little better, but he was still very angry, clearly disgusted by the behavior of the Sun Moon organizers.

This is just like how she pretended to be a boy for six years, finally reached the age where she could trick girls into bed, but before she could even sleep with a girl and get intimate with her, she had to revert to being a girl. She hadn't even had a chance to enjoy herself!

"Brother Chen, why do you say that our selection of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was at the behest of the Sun Moon Royal Family?"

Huo Yuhao focused his attention on the second half of Chen Ping's sentence.

"Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has a high score and strong enough strength, it can be used to test our mettle in advance."

Chen Ping chuckled: "Half a year ago, Xiao Hongchen was very close to level 69. Now, half a year has passed, and he has already crossed the threshold of less than two levels of soul power."

“A seven-ring Soul Saint, leading several six-ring Soul Emperors, with the lowest Soul Power cultivation being a Soul King. If they win, everyone will be happy. If they lose, they won't be eliminated from the knockout stage. On the contrary, they can learn a great deal about us, especially the abilities of you, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, these three new faces.”

"In this competition, 42 teams will advance to the next round, with the 21 winning teams advancing directly and the remaining 11 spots determined by their tiebreakers. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has consistently ranked among the top teams, so even if we lose the third match, we will still make it into the round-robin stage."

"If you were the organizer of the Sun and Moon event, and you saw such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, would you really not have any ulterior motives and try to test our strength?"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Huo Yuhao showed a hint of understanding, while Wang Dong'er, whose mind had never been very sharp, tilted her head and began to ponder.

"No, Chen Ping, while doing this will help the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy understand our capabilities and trump cards, doesn't it also expose the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's capabilities?"

"If the two sides were to have such a battle, it would be a clash of titans, and they would probably fight each other to the point of brain damage. By then, we would already know their capabilities, so it would be completely meaningless."

Chen Ping said, "You're wrong about that. First of all, the abilities of the three of you are completely unfamiliar to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and you don't even know what a martial soul is. This is a very troublesome thing."

"We don't need to know what your three soul skills are. As long as we can figure out your roles and martial souls, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will already have an opportunity to target you."

"Take the White Tiger Martial Soul for example. Knowing such a Martial Soul and the opponent's Soul Power level, it's as obvious as a bald man's lice. Your Martial Souls may not be that extreme, but as long as you know the Martial Soul, you can naturally have a way to counter it."

"Furthermore, how can you be so sure that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is our biggest rival in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"

Chen Ping's words made Wang Dong stare wide-eyed and blink, somewhat bewildered. But from the clear stupidity in her eyes, Chen Ping knew that this silly girl definitely hadn't guessed who their real opponent was.
