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

Chapter 600 Loyal! Sincerity!
In the past few days, Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao went to the black market to participate in a competition and made a level 4 milk bottle. They successfully obtained the qualification for exemption from testing in the next competition and jumped from the qualifying round to the second round of the main competition.

In addition, he also divided the 4.5 million gold soul coins he had won from betting on Chen An into nine parts, with each part containing 500,000 gold soul coins as a bet on the qualifying numbers.

Chen Ping's memory wasn't that good after all; it was impossible for him to remember the exact number of players who qualified for each match.

Chen Ping was worried that Huo Yuhao's luck was probably the reason he managed to win by randomly betting on a number in the last round. If he wanted to win by randomly betting on a number again, Chen Ping was afraid that Huo Yuhao would be drained of his luck.

Of course, since the rules of this qualifying round have also changed, the odds for betting on odd or even numbers are only 1.3 times, while the odds for betting on the number of people who qualify are n times. Based on his memory of the approximate number of people who qualify, Chen Ping placed nine bets of 500,000 gold soul coins on numbers 61 to 69.

The reason is simple: in this competition, if you correctly predict the number of players who will advance, and the number of players who advance is n, then the odds will be n times.

With such incredible odds, Chen Ping had no idea which genius came up with them on a whim.

If only one person can advance from this competition, it means that someone wants to double their bet and has to take a gamble with an expected win rate of only one in ninety-four.

But the people of Sun and Moon were completely oblivious to the fact that the mathematical expectation of this game was a complete loss from the very beginning, and that the losses only increased as the game progressed, so they didn't hesitate to place their bets.

Therefore, after the match ended, Chen Ping successfully bet on the number 67, winning nearly 30 million gold soul coins.

This is why Chen Ping was worried that directly causing the boss of Xishui Alliance to lose money would make him desperate and he came out to confront him offline.

Otherwise, if he placed ten million gold soul coins on each of the numbers from sixty-one to sixty-nine, it wouldn't be impossible for him to rake in six hundred million on the spot.

However, even so, Chen Ping still managed to take his share of the gambling money, and in turn, he took a big cut from Xi Shui Alliance, scraping away most of the money they won from this illegal gambling operation.

It was only because the evil spirit master Chen Ping had impersonated was truly formidable, and his extravagant spending was intimidating; otherwise, the Xi Shui Alliance would probably have already become restless.

Soon, with the conclusion of another match in the round-robin tournament, Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao naturally reunited as the Shuangkun duo and arrived at the Qingse Hotel, where Chen An was already personally waiting for them at the entrance.

It's clear that Chen Ping's 10% prize really boosted Chen An's favorability. Now, Chen An isn't afraid of Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao assigning him tasks; he's just afraid that these two will ignore him.

Being able to connect with such a powerful figure means he hasn't wasted half his life; he might just have a chance to soar to great heights.

"You're here."

Upon seeing the two, Chen An quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Chen Ping gave a soft hum.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Chen An quickly replied, "Don't worry, everything is ready. I haven't told anyone that you're participating in the competition."

"Please come with me to the VIP room to rest. I've prepared some pre-match materials, which you can use to pass the time before the match."

At this moment, Chen An respectfully extended his hand, leading the two towards the interior of the hotel, his entire being embodying the word "loyalty" and "honesty." Chen Ping, still behaving like a high-born scion who looked down on everyone, nodded slightly and walked ahead.

Chen An led them to a large lounge next to the golden hall on the first basement floor, where various fruits, snacks, and drinks had already been laid out.

Soon, a document was delivered to Chen Ping. This document recorded the performances and evaluations of the Soul Masters who had qualified in the previous matches.

After entering the official competition stage, the numbering was changed once, starting from the previous round.

This round's numbering began to take on real meaning. Huo Yuhao's number was sixty-six, and Chen Ping's was eighty-eight. These were clearly auspicious numbers that Chen An had chosen specifically to please them.

These numbers were quickly memorized by Chen Ping. Knowing yourself and your enemy is crucial to victory; understanding your opponent is paramount.

Seeing that Chen Ping had finished reading the information, Chen An quickly bowed and said, "Young Master Kun, there are some issues today. As I mentioned before, three powerful Soul Masters have been sent from above to oversee the proceedings. Two are at level six, and one is at level seven; they will form the judging panel."

"The competition rules have just been announced. Including the three of you, the 48 players who qualified in the previous round will be divided into 24 groups for the knockout stage, with two people per group."

"The creation of soul tools will no longer be restricted. We will provide a variety of rare and common metals for soul masters to choose from."

"Two hours later, the Soul Masters will need to conduct on-site testing of their newly created Soul Tools. They can observe each other's Soul Tools without making contact."

"If you find that your soul tool is too much weaker than your opponent's, you can choose to concede. If neither of you concedes, we will set up an arena."

"At that time, both sides will possess their own soul tools and fight without using other soul tools and soul skills. Whoever wins will advance."

At this point, Chen An paused before adding, "Regardless of life or death."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded thoughtfully, "Then could I make a level nine close-combat soul-guided baseball bat out of tungsten steel?"

"Huh?"

Chen An was confused by Chen Ping's sudden remark. He could tell that Chen Ping's words had a deeper meaning, but the other party didn't seem like someone who could make a level nine soul tool.
"My older brother meant that he would take out the tungsten carbide ingot he was holding and hammer it into a stick."

"If he says it's a level nine soul tool, then it is a level nine soul tool. If the opponent doesn't admit it's a level nine soul tool, he'll beat them until they admit it is."

"Since you've all said you'll be using soul tools for the duel, then as long as our soul masters are strong enough, whether we have soul tools or not, whether we have one more or one less, it doesn't really matter, right?"

Huo Yuhao added from the side.

"Tsk, my little brother understands me best, expert."

Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up.

This is just like the battle between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy thousands of years ago.

Don't even mention that you have a soul tool. Even if you were covered in soul tools, how many students throughout history could beat Ma Xiaotao, who doesn't have a single soul tool equipped?
