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

Chapter 622 The Top Eight are Announced
"Go and call Chen An here."

"Yes."

The man in black retreated, trembling.

A moment later, Chen An strode in and knelt down on one knee.

"Meet the leader."

Chen An was able to become the manager of the Golden Hall, which naturally meant that he was deeply trusted by Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan frowned and said, "Tell me everything you know about number sixty-six and number eighty-eight."

Seeing the three of them perform brilliantly in the game today has given me even more confidence in them.

He also knew that Nangong Wan would definitely ask questions after seeing that scene, and he had already prepared his answer.

He quickly said, "This number sixty-six and his senior brother number eighty-eight caught my attention as soon as they arrived."

He then recounted in detail how Chen Ping had gambled while competing in the Golden Hall.

His cleverness lay in the fact that his words were nine parts truth and one part falsehood, concealing his deeper relationship with Chen Ping. Naturally, he wouldn't mention that Chen Ping had asked him to buy rare metals.

After all, the essence of this matter is that he and several other familiar locals were cheating each other out of their locality to make extra money, so it certainly can't be exposed casually.

After hearing his description, Nangong Wan's expression softened, and he said to Feng Ling, "It seems that Cai Xukun's main goal is to obtain those precious controlled rare metals, and titanium magnesium should be his primary target."

“We still have some of this in reserve. Although it is extremely precious, it is not very useful to us. I think we can use some of it to attract him.”

"As long as there is desire, it will be easy. He will definitely come again during the finals. I will talk to him then and try to recruit both of them."

"The holy power he was born with is something he can't hide no matter what, even if he has another martial soul. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately unleashed his true nature in the competition."

"In the end, the Holy Spirit Cult is the true promised land for a Soul Master with such extraordinary talent."

Feng Ling nodded: "I'll be there that day too, and I'll observe further. I'll go back and hear what the leader thinks. Maybe he'll make a special trip. I hope he's the one we've been looking for."

The following day at noon, after lunch, Chen Ping called everyone to a meeting in the conference room.

Yesterday was the match day, and today we have a full day of rest.

Tomorrow will be the last match of the round-robin tournament.

Shrek's opponent is Tang Sect, which is essentially Shrek's second team.

There are four groups of teams in total. Although the specific format of the top eight matches has not yet been determined, it will only require a simple draw.

All four quarter-final matches will be contests between the group winners and the group runners-up.

In other words, if Shrek concedes this match, they will definitely face the top team from the other three groups.

There is a high probability that you will directly encounter the Holy Spirit Cult or the Body Sect.

If Shrek Academy emerges as the top team in their group, the probability of encountering the Holy Spirit Cult will be greatly reduced; they might only meet in the semifinals or even the finals. This is not what Chen Ping wants. Killing a few more evil spirit masters would definitely be better than missing this opportunity.

The Holy Spirit Cult boasts a formidable lineup of six Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint for this year's competition, including direct disciples of Zhongli Wu and Zhang Peng. These young evil soul masters have a very high chance of becoming Title Douluos in the future.

If one is let go, there is a chance that one more civilian or ordinary soul master will be slaughtered in the future.

If we miss this opportunity, we'll likely never have another chance like this unless we storm into the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold.

Therefore, after Chen Ping explained the pros and cons, most of the people present were students from Shrek Academy's inner court, who were also members of Shrek's supervisory team.

While the Shrek Academy Inspection Corps may have its flaws, it is, after all, an organization dedicated to maintaining peace on the continent and combating evil spirit masters.

Therefore, almost without hesitation, everyone agreed to Chen Ping's plan.

Even Huo Yuhao, who was looking forward to this match, nodded silently, then raised his hand and made a request, recounting his past in front of everyone.

They can qualify as the second-place team in their group, but in the individual competition before that, he will take this opportunity to avenge the humiliation he and his mother suffered in front of audiences from four countries.

Everyone, including Chen Ping, approved Huo Yuhao's request without any objection. Chen Ping even silently prayed for Dai Huabin.

This version of Huo Yuhao may not have as many power-ups as the Huo Yuhao of the same era, but he can still easily defeat Dai Huabin, a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao had virtually no concept of 'picking up' or 'putting down' at this point. Having followed Chen Ping for so long, all he remembered was the word 'take down'. Therefore, Chen Ping didn't think Dai Huabin would be able to laugh after fighting Huo Yuhao.

Just as Chen Ping had predicted, although Dai Huabin, who possessed the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, was very strong and could even activate his Martial Soul True Body, he still couldn't withstand Huo Yuhao, who was wearing Battle Armor.

Even the true Seven-Ring Soul Saint Xiao Hongchen was crushed by Huo Yuhao, let alone Dai Huabin, who had only temporarily reached the Seven-Ring Soul Saint realm.

When Huo Yuhao revealed his identity to Dai Huabin, making Dai Huabin realize that he was the son of that maid, before Dai Huabin could even utter a few curses in anger, Huo Yuhao had already anticipated Dai Huabin's thoughts.

A wave of chaos washed over him, leaving him slurring his words for a long time, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

However, this was just a minor incident.

They didn't give Dai Huabin the chance to call on Zhu Lu to redeem himself in the team competition and take down both his rivals, Huo Yuhao and Chen Ping.

Shrek's decisive abandonment of team fights left Dai Huabin feeling like he'd punched cotton.

Tang Sect entered the quarterfinals as the top team in their group, much to their amusement and dismay.

With the conclusion of the final round of the round-robin tournament and the emergence of the top eight, the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament has entered its final stage.

Among the teams that qualified, the four teams that ranked first in their group were Tangmen, Holy Spirit Sect, Body Sect, and Proud Sword Sect.

The teams ranked second in the group are Shrek Academy, Star Luo National Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Tianlongmen.

Yes, thanks to the accumulation of points, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has finally climbed back into the top eight.

However, it is clear that they have already played all their cards, and their difficulty in dealing with them is probably only about the same as that of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Proud Sword Sect. They are at the level of adding fuel to the fire, and may not even be as good as the Star Luo National Academy in this year's competition.
