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

Chapter 624 Everything that could be opened has been opened.

The two-day break gave the eight teams a chance to catch their breath.

Every team is making the most of the time for final improvements and adjustments.

As the day of the quarterfinals approached, the entire capital of Ming was already bustling with activity early in the morning.

Before dawn, large numbers of spectators had already poured out of the city to secure a good viewing spot.

There will be four matches in one day, all of which are clashes between strong teams, and any one of them will be a feast for the eyes of all the viewers.

Therefore, there were an unusually large number of Sun and Moon citizens who came to watch the game today, finally demonstrating the home advantage of the Sun and Moon Empire.

As the sun rose, the teams representing the strongest of the younger generation in the world marched out of the city, protected by a human wall of soldiers.

It wasn't just the four teams that competed in the morning that headed to the competition venue.

Teams from Shrek Academy, Holy Spirit Sect, and Body Sect, who were scheduled to compete in the afternoon, arrived early as well.

During the round-robin stage, they can ignore other players' matches and just focus on playing their own game.

However, in the quarterfinals, it becomes especially important to understand the threats posed by potential opponents.

Even Shrek, who possessed a wealth of information, was no exception.

Whether it's witnessing the battle firsthand or getting used to the atmosphere of the competition as soon as possible, these are things that should be done.

Of course, the absence of the Star Luo National Academy meant that being drawn against the Holy Spirit Sect team was not a good thing, but it also provided them with the perfect excuse to run away after the draw.

Judging by the time frame, it's been two days. This group, representing the two most outstanding generations of young people in the Star Luo Empire, has probably already returned to Star Luo City to report for duty.

It was quite abrupt for the Star Luo team to draw other colleges.

But it's quite reasonable for a team like the Holy Spirit Sect, which is known for its tendency to kill and cripple opponents, to run away during the two-day break.

That's why many teams present were surprised when they saw that the people from Xingluo National Academy hadn't arrived yet.

For example, the Holy Spirit Sect team, which had received the message long ago to inflict as many injuries as possible during the competition, were stunned when they saw their afternoon enemy suddenly fly away like a cooked duck.

This is the quarterfinals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament! How could these people just run away like that?
Although the Star Luo National Academy's Soul Masters ran away abruptly, it did not affect the continuation of the competition, such as the great battle between Tang Sect and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

For the members of Tang Sect, they bear the responsibility of making the sect famous and the name of Shrek Second Team. Several of them were originally members of the reserve team of the previous competition, so they naturally cannot afford to lose. Losing would mean that their second team is far inferior to the first team.

Meanwhile, the fighting at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was even more frenzied.

Especially Xiao Hongchen, who finally broke through to the seventh ring, was mercilessly crushed by Huo Yuhao in a one-on-one battle. If he could defeat Shrek Academy's second team, it would at least be considered a victory over Shrek to some extent. Therefore, after the individual matches between the two sides were completed and each had its winner and loser, the first team battle in the morning was probably the most intense match in this tournament so far.

The Netherworld White Tiger battled against the Red Dust's Longing, while the Black Tortoise Holy Dragon withstood the Crimson Toad's Golden Body. In this quarter-final match where the eight were advancing to the fourteenth, both sides revealed all their trump cards.

In an instant, everyone who was supposed to awaken did so, everyone who was supposed to merge did so, everyone who was supposed to reveal their true form revealed their true form, and everyone who was able to reveal their true form revealed it.

The entire Soul Fighting Arena was shaking violently. It was a battle of superpowers, and those who didn't have any superpowers on hand, or whose superpowers were too weak, were not worthy of standing on the Soul Fighting Arena. They were basically blasted away during the fight.

For example, Tang Ya had just stepped forward with the Ghostly Shadow Step, intending to use the Crane Control Dragon technique, when she was kicked away by Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which summoned the giant red toad that emitted a crimson-gold color.

This cannot be blamed on Tang Ya. Even Tang San, if his martial soul had not evolved into the Blue Silver King and obtained the Blue Silver Overlord Spear when he reached level 50, would have only been able to be kicked away and faint on the spot when facing a martial soul fusion skill used by a seven-ring Soul Saint and a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Fortunately, Tang Ya's survival didn't affect others. The other members of the Tang Clan had their own advantages, especially after acquiring the Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument, a top-tier combat power item that other academies hadn't had time to acquire. As a result, the Tang Clan suddenly gained several more quasi-Soul Saints.

Although their Martial Soul True Forms are basically defeated after one or two hits, they are still Martial Soul True Forms after all. Before they are defeated, they can easily crush the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors on the other side.

Therefore, by the end of the entire battle, the number of times the True Spirit Body was activated was enough to fill a palm. Although the Martial Spirit Fusion Skill of the Hongchen siblings was powerful, it eventually became weaker and weaker with each blood loss, and finally collapsed.

The match ended with Xie Huanyue, who had been curled up into a ball and was in top form, rolling around on the field's protective barrier. Despite being knocked away several times by the aftershocks of the cheaters, he only suffered minor injuries and got up from the ground, securing the final victory.

Even so, Xie Huan Yue was still trembling when he came down from the Soul Arena. After all, when he stood up, he was the only one left on the entire arena who could still get up.
Perhaps because this match was so visually stunning and generated so much revenue for the ticket sales, the second match in the morning, between Tianlongmen and Aojianzong, was noticeably less interesting.

The only one that Chen Ping paid special attention to was that kid from the Proud Sword Sect named Wu Yifan.

However, this guy's martial spirit was a steel sword, not a small and cute toothpick, which made Chen Ping lose interest in continuing to watch the match.

What truly surprised Chen Ping was the outcome of this battle, in which the Proud Sword Sect decisively defeated the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

That's not right. In his memory, the captain of the Tianlong Sect named Yu Tianlong was about the same level of combat power as Bei Bei. He defeated three members of the Aojian Sect in his first appearance and entered the top four without even participating in a team battle.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect is essentially descended from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex from ten thousand years ago, so it shouldn't have been defeated by the Proud Sword Sect.

But after Chen Ping pondered it for a moment, he realized that the Heavenly Dragon Sect had figured out that the top three had nothing to do with them this time.

The Tang Sect team that has already advanced, the Shrek team that hasn't even gone all out yet, and the Holy Spirit Sect that's notorious for killing—who can these three teams beat?

In any case, only the top three in the competition receive rewards. Making it to the top four is essentially meaningless. Unlike other academies, Tianlong Sect doesn't make it easier to recruit people if you have a high ranking. Without a dragon-type martial soul, you definitely can't get in.

In that case, they might as well just lose the match and then listen to the leader of the Earth Dragon Gate and take the opportunity to run away.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!
