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

Chapter 636 Resignation
Unbreakable Douluo leaped up and landed beside the two.

"How are you? Should the match continue?" Zheng Zhan asked after checking on the two men's physical condition.

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head: "No need, I'm too exhausted to fight anymore. I'll be off the field after the next match, so let's just call it a draw."

Zheng Zhan looked at Long Aotian.

After hesitating for a long time, Long Aotian reluctantly nodded, which was considered as his acceptance of the competition result.

But he knew deep down that he had actually lost this match.

Chen Ping was just saving face for himself. If Chen Ping continued fighting, even though he had already used up a lot of energy, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with another Soul Emperor from the Body Sect.

From the other party's words, Long Aotian could sense their goodwill.

Zheng Zhan let out a long breath, his soul power carrying the two of them as they flew up. He announced loudly, "Shrek Academy versus Snow Demon Sect, third match of the individual competition, a draw. Both sides have one point each, the current score is 3:1."

"Due to severe damage to the playing platform and the draw, repairs will be carried out on the platform. Please be patient while we wait."

Zheng Zhan's actions were not truly for the benefit of the Shrek Academy and Body Sect members; he merely wanted them to recover more soul power so that the final team battle could be more intense.

For the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy is indeed a sworn enemy spanning tens of thousands of years.

But over time, hatred often becomes a habit.

Fear far outweighs hatred.

If we were to pinpoint the true source of hatred for the Sun Moon Empire, it would undoubtedly be the Body Sect.

Xu Tianran even hinted to Zheng Zhan before the match that, if possible, he should show some favoritism towards Shrek.

Ideally, both teams should be severely weakened, which would pave the way for the Holy Spirit Sect to win the championship.

He would rather let the Holy Spirit Sect win the championship, defying the world, than let Shrek Academy or the Body Sect win the championship of this competition.

This is why he directly grouped the two strongest teams, Body Sect and Shrek Academy, with the Holy Spirit Cult.

The purpose was to incite internal strife between the two sides, paving the way for the Holy Spirit Church.

As for the Tang Sect, it wasn't that Xu Tianran didn't want to target them, but rather that he couldn't handle them all. He hadn't won against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so what could he do?
Besides, Tang Sect's victory over Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was only a narrow one; defeating the Holy Spirit Sect team would be very difficult. This is why Xu Tianran ultimately decided to make this arrangement.

Xu Tianran clearly no longer cares about public opinion.

He originally planned to start a war after this tournament ended.

Under such circumstances, what difference would it make if the three kingdoms of Douluo collectively condemned him?

As long as the people of the Sun Moon Empire don't cause too much trouble, it's fine.

Long Xiaoyao did say that Mu En was no longer able to leave Shrek Academy and could die at any time.

At worst, he would just stay in the palace for the next two years and not leave. With his adoptive mother and the palace's soul-guided defenses, he didn't believe that such a decrepit old dragon could turn the world upside down!

"Since Shrek Academy has already accumulated three points in the individual competition, let's proceed directly to the team competition." Chen Ping raised his hand to signal to the referee. Not wiping out the Body Sect is a favor, but taking advantage of Long Aotian's current subpar condition to directly enter the team battle is simply their duty.

Even with Princess Vina's healing abilities on the Body Sect's side, Chen Ping didn't believe Long Aotian could fully recover during the arena's repair time.

On the contrary, he, who had only overdrawn his soul power but had not suffered any actual damage, was basically able to fully recover before the team battle.

Therefore, Chen Ping had already taken out two milk bottles with a flip of his hand and began to quickly replenish his soul power, while emphasizing the characteristics of the opponent's strength to the Shrek Academy members.

Vina is a twin martial soul master, possessing the Snow Lotus martial soul with healing abilities and the Brain martial soul with mental abilities.

Gu Tong is a Soul Master with an Eye Martial Soul, similar to Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul. However, to be precise, Gu Tong's Eye Martial Soul combined with Vina's Brain Martial Soul is what gives Huo Yuhao his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

While his eyes alone are not weak, they can only be considered first-rate.

So Chen Ping directly instructed Huo Yuhao to deal with this guy first, and then find an opportunity to kill Vina, a dual-element Soul Master who could control and support.

After all, if there was any Soul Master present who could completely ignore the control and influence of Vina, the Spirit-type Soul Emperor, it would only be Huo Yuhao, who was also a Spirit-type Soul Master.

However, just as Chen Ping was methodically instructing everyone on what to do, Long Aotian shook his head and waved his hand, as if he had figured something out.

"Aotian, you...we're actually doing alright."

Vina parted her pink lips slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.

"No, you don't understand, Vina."

Long Aotian took a deep breath and then sighed, "You won't understand until you face this guy on the Soul Battle Arena. This kind of guy is beyond your ability to stop."

"In this state, I can't possibly return to my peak condition until the Soul Arena is fully repaired, but he can. Plus, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Emperor in their team as support, without me present, who among you is confident in stopping this monster?"

"Even if I could go on stage and stop this monster, that Soul Emperor with the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, who instantly killed Wu Feng, the Soul Master with the Bone Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with a single claw strike, could you really stop him with the amplification and support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"

Long Aotian's words not only silenced Vina, but also silenced the other members of the Body Sect present.

With the Soul Emperor amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, all attributes increase by 70%. When this amplification is applied to other members of Shrek Academy, Soul Kings can use it as Soul Emperors, and Soul Emperors can use it as Soul Saints.

They might all believe that once their true martial soul awakens, they are no less powerful than Shrek Academy's opponents of the same level, and perhaps even stronger.

But what if these opponents were amplified by auras? What if we added someone who could go toe-to-toe with Long Aotian without being amplified by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

For a long time, the members of the Body Sect remained silent before someone finally spoke up: "The amplification ratio of the Soul Masters from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is too outrageous; it's too unfair."

A Soul Master from the Body Sect hesitated for a long time but couldn't find a better word to describe the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. He could only say this word, which carried a hint of being a sore loser.

Is it cheating? Maybe, but their Body Sect's second awakening of their Body Martial Soul is also cheating.

Long Aotian looked towards the Shrek Academy's rest area, where the Shrek Academy members were still on high alert, listening to Chen Ping's final tactical instructions.

Seeing this, Long Aotian smiled slightly. Even if they really had to admit defeat, he wouldn't mind dragging it out a bit longer, letting Shrek Academy seriously devise a few tactics to deal with them, and then it wouldn't be bad if they ended up empty-handed.
