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

Chapter 602 Absolute Power
In response, Chen Ping simply stood up slowly, walked to Number 98, and then put his hand on Number 98's shoulder.

Upon seeing this, Number Ninety-Eight instinctively tried to dodge, and the four guards beside him also instinctively wanted to attack. However, the next moment, they felt a terrifying aura from an ancient ferocious beast from a distant era descend upon them.

A frenzied, explosive aura, carrying an indescribable, monstrous energy that seemed intent on utterly shattering all life, emanated from Chen Ping, instantly startling everyone in front of him.

From the aura emanating from Chen Ping, they sensed a pure predator's aura. That aura emanated from Chen Ping, yet did not belong to him. This fear, stemming from the very nature of humanity, of powerful predators caused them to instinctively stiffen.

Perhaps in ancient times, this kind of behavior—frozen in place and pretending to be dead after being stared at by a terrifying predator—could increase their chances of survival. But what they were facing now was not a real predator, but Chen Ping.

Therefore, Chen Ping placed his hand on Number Ninety-Eight's shoulder with almost no effort, and then slowly applied downward pressure.

What does it feel like to have a hydraulic press press down on your shoulder?
Number Ninety-Eight felt it at that moment. Chen Ping's outstretched hand, though seemingly fair and delicate, actually felt like a small mountain was falling down on him when it pressed down.

With just one palm strike, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and no matter how stubborn he was, Chen Ping forced him to bend over.

At this moment, Number Ninety-Six, who witnessed everything that had just happened, could only think four words in his mind: unbelievable!

How could this guy with the spiky middle parting and those delicate hands that look like they belong to a woman possess such terrifying strength?
Number Ninety-Eight was in a similar situation. He truly felt an overwhelming and terrifying physical strength emanating from Chen Ping. He was certain that if he had insisted on fighting Chen Ping to the death, Chen Ping could have easily broken his shoulder blade and even his spine with a single slap!
"Humanoid beast" was Number Ninety-Eight's first thought about Chen Ping at this moment. He couldn't understand why a man who looked somewhat effeminate was stronger than those muscle-bound guys who trained every day.

Just as other people's strength comes from calcium-rich bones and protein-rich muscles, this guy's strength comes from an alloy skeleton and bundles of Kevlar muscle fibers.

"When you're out and about, you have to respect others. I generally don't like to force people to drink water, but that doesn't mean I can't do it."

"You asked me earlier if I had the ability to directly deal with the dog owner, and now I've given you this answer. Are you satisfied?"

Chen Ping snorted coldly, and Huo Yuhao also took a step forward, directly using his powerful mental strength to deliver a soul shock to the four guards who had recovered and wanted to attack Chen Ping.

In an instant, all four guards clutched their heads in pain and groaned. One of them even collapsed to his knees with a thud, his knees probably broken into pieces if it weren't for the soft, high-quality carpet.

"Stop!" Soul Master No. 96 shouted in a deep voice.

He was of medium height and had an ordinary appearance. But his eyes seemed somewhat cold.

“My younger brother is ignorant and outspoken, and has offended you. I sincerely apologize on his behalf. Please forgive him.”

The Soul Master No. 96 actually managed a smile and greeted Chen Ping very politely.

"Your younger brother is quite irresponsible. As the older brother, remember to bring him home next time and teach him properly before going out. If it weren't for the fact that you two are outside helpers invited by the Xishui Alliance, you would both be lying down by now."

Chen Ping's words were tantamount to giving the two of them virtually no face; he only dropped the matter out of consideration for the local Xishui Alliance, the host. This caused Number Ninety-Six's smile to freeze on his face. Even so, Number Ninety-Six still forced himself to nod, suppressing his anger.

"Your reprimand is correct. It was I, as the elder brother, who was in the wrong. I am truly sorry."

Number 96 is ultimately backed by a powerful force. They know best that the prerequisite for causing trouble in this mixed circle is to first find out about other people's backgrounds. No matter how bad their expression is, they still bow their heads and admit defeat.

"Distinguished guests, we can proceed to the waiting area to prepare for this round of matches."

Just then, the door to the VIP lounge suddenly opened, and a staff member poked his head in to inform the group to prepare for the match.

Then he saw the scene of people lying haphazardly on the ground, while the other contestants in the rest area kept their distance, clearly not intending to get involved in the matter.

Seeing this, Chen Ping released his grip on Number 98's shoulder and, ignoring the staff members beside him, stepped into the waiting area with Huo Yuhao.

"Wow, that's some real strength!"

Number Ninety-Eight finally stood up, his face grim. The arrogance on his face had faded, replaced by resentment. He then asked the staff member with an unfriendly expression, "Who were those two people just now?"

The staff member cautiously began, "These two distinguished guests... I don't know their background. I only know that the manager was very respectful to them during the previous matches, personally welcoming and seeing them off each time they came and went. Moreover, they are very generous and must have a lot of influence behind them."

Having failed to extract any valuable information, Number 98's expression worsened, while Number 96 frowned, his face clouded with worry.

"Let's have the competition first, and then we'll talk about it. If only one of these two brothers is strong, they might still be from a small sect. But one of them is physically strong and the other is mentally strong, so they're not easy to mess with."

Number Ninety-Six looked at the guards lying on the ground beside them, a strong sense of fear appearing in his eyes.

As he spoke, he glared at Number Ninety-Eight again: "I told you long ago to keep a low profile and be cautious when you're out in public, and to put away that arrogant attitude. Now you've really messed up, haven't you?"

Number Ninety-Eight's eyes still held a hint of resentment: "I don't believe these two guys have a bigger background than us."

"Among all the major families in the Sun Moon Empire, there are only about ten families with Title Douluo. I don't remember any of them having a pair of brothers like this."

"No matter how powerful their family is, do you think they can make even a teacher wary? I'll get my revenge sooner or later."

As soon as Number 98 said that, he saw the disappointed look in Number 96's eyes, and immediately shut his mouth, but the annoyance in his eyes was even greater.
