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

Chapter 607 The Young Master of the Earth Dragon Sect Delivered to Our Doorstep
Inside the Golden Hall, the chief referee found Chen An and asked in a low voice, "Chen An, what's the background of that number eighty-eight? The soul tool he made is quite extraordinary!"

He had originally planned to spend money to buy that versatile mechanical arm sleeve.

Not only could he not discern the exact level of the soul tool, but he also couldn't understand the nesting techniques involved; it was simply a creation of unparalleled skill.

If he could figure out this technology, it might give him a lot of inspiration.

Chen An whispered, "My lord, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this distinguished guest's background is extremely mysterious, and I dare not inquire further."

"All I know is that he and the sixty-six VIPs are disciples of some powerful figure. I've felt their power, and it's absolutely genuine."

"So I thought, maybe this is some elder or even a favorite disciple of the family, who came out to gain experience and earn some rare metals along the way, so I didn't inquire too much."

"There is one thing I am sure of: if those two distinguished guests wanted to take my soul, they could do it in the blink of an eye. I have only ever seen such a terrifying sense of oppression from the higher-ups I have met occasionally."

Upon hearing this, the chief referee nodded solemnly. The "adult" Chen An was referring to was not him, the seventh-level Soul Master referee, but rather those high-ranking figures who were often at the eighth level.

To put it bluntly, the Holy Spirit Cult is a religious organization and a large criminal gang.

Many people believe that the Holy Spirit Cult consists entirely of evil spirit masters, but this is unrealistic. To be precise, even the Holy Spirit Cult can at most ensure that all the spirit masters in its core circle are evil spirit masters.

As for lower-level managers like Chen An, and the three Soul Master referees who were filmed hosting the competition, they are actually just ordinary Soul Masters.

Among these people, some joined knowingly because of the dangers, while others only figured out the relationship between their organization and the evil spirit masters after being in the business for a long time.

Therefore, when Chen An explicitly told the chief referee Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao that they were likely disciples of a powerful figure within the Holy Spirit Cult, the chief referee immediately abandoned his plan to continue investigating the two's background.

For someone at his level to make a living in this kind of power structure, the most important thing is not to do whatever is asked to appear diligent, but to always be clear about what information he can access and what information he should refrain from asking.

The more he knows, the more dangerous and troublesome it becomes for him. Knowing so much information about evil spirit masters when he is not one himself is definitely not a good thing.

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead, but don't let anyone know about our conversation just now."

Upon hearing this, the chief referee's expression changed drastically, a clear look of fear flashing in his eyes before he instantly returned to normal.

"Yes."

Chen An appeared respectful on the surface, but in reality, he was secretly laughing to himself.

How could I possibly let you get in touch with Cai Xukun?
I was hoping that Kun Shao would lead me to the pinnacle of life!
What if you steal my chance to take off?
Mid-level figures like the head referee already possess considerable wealth and influence, and their status as a seventh-level Soul Master is quite prestigious. In some major cities, they are so distinguished that even the city lord treats them with utmost respect, hoping to secure their place in the city. They are like alchemists in fantasy novels; the development potential of a major city is often judged by the number of such figures.

Therefore, although such people climbed to the top by consuming the resources of the Holy Spirit Cult, they would never allow themselves to be too closely bound to the Holy Spirit Cult. Chen An took advantage of this mentality of the chief referee, and thus dispelled the other party's idea of ​​asking questions in just a few words.

When Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel in the dark, it was already very late.

Therefore, it wasn't until the next day that Chen Ping learned about the competition situation over the past few days from other people.

Their matches over the past few days have been uneventful, without causing any major stirs. The only match worth mentioning was against the Earth Dragon Sect.

Since He Caitou, Wu Feng, and Huo Yuhao had all gone up to have a good time in the previous matches, when Wang Dong'er learned that Huo Yuhao and Chen Ping had gone out to fool around, she immediately volunteered to face the match against the Earth Dragon Gate.

Then this girl didn't know to hold back a little. Although the people from the Earth Dragon Gate were of good average strength, they still had a hard time fighting Wang Dong'er, who was a six-ring Soul Emperor. She was quickly defeated by Wang Dong'er.

The fourth Soul Master to appear after that was named Nan Qiuqiu. It's unclear whether this girl named Nan Qiuqiu was really not very bright, but in the end, she made a bet with Wang Dong'er during the fight.

If Wang Dong'er loses, she will join the Earth Dragon Gate with Nan Qiuqiu, and in return, Nan Qiuqiu will be at Wang Dong'er's beck and call.

Hmm, thinking about it carefully, this girl seems to have a pretty good plan. If she wins the competition, she'll get a six-ring Soul Emperor who's not even eighteen years old for free. If she loses the competition, whether she joins Shrek Academy or the Clear Sky Sect, it's a win-win situation.
To be honest, Nan Qiuqiu's Rouge Dragon Martial Soul is quite destructive. The Annihilation Power is a special soul power that is very similar to the power of destruction, and it has the annihilation effect that can eliminate all attribute abilities.

However, while this thing can break down Wang Dong'er's Butterfly God Light, it is ultimately not a true destructive force and does not have the ability to instantly destroy a physical entity.

Therefore, Wang Dong'er only needed to find an opportunity to take out the Haotian Hammer, block the opponent's two firing lines, and then use the hammer to lull Nan Qiuqiu to sleep on the spot.

Young people are so healthy, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

"You mean you originally planned to default on your debt and run away, but your mother forced you to come and fulfill your promise because she believed in keeping your word?"

In the private restaurant of the Sky Garden, Chen Ping was having a meal with everyone while looking at Nan Qiuqiu, who seemed a little awkward, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"I originally planned to join the Clear Sky Sect with Wang Dong'er, but the Clear Sky Sect doesn't accept people without the Clear Sky Sect Martial Soul, so I guess I'll have to join your Shrek Academy."

Nan Qiuqiu weakly explained that she felt she was being too opportunistic, having lost a match but ending up with Shrek Academy members.

She wanted to go back, but her mother, Nan Shuishui, seemed to have figured something out and had other considerations. She refused to let her go back, so she could only awkwardly stay in an empty room at the top-floor hotel owned by Shrek.
