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

Chapter 638 A Net of Heaven and Earth (8K)

Of the four matches in the quarterfinals, the last one was the most exciting.

This is a true clash of titans.

The contest between Chen Ping and Long Aotian, in particular, was truly a first in ten thousand years.

When Shrek Academy and Snow Demon Sect left the stage, even though the team battle ended with Snow Demon Sect giving up, the audience still spontaneously gave them extremely enthusiastic applause.

Even though these two teams don't belong to the Sun Moon Empire, everyone respects the strong.

They earned the heartfelt admiration and respect of the ordinary people of the Sun and Moon Empire.

On the podium, Crown Prince Xu Tianran did not leave as usual after the competition ended, but sat there motionless, his face ashen.

A full quarter of an hour passed before he raised his hand to signal.

Orange pushed him off the competition platform, and he left surrounded by many servants and guards.

"Orange, that match just now really moved me."

Xu Tianran suddenly sighed.

Orange replied softly, "Your Highness, please don't be upset. Although our team didn't make it to the top four this time, we still have the Holy Spirit Sect, don't we?"

Xu Tianran shook his head: "The Holy Spirit Sect is not our own power after all. If it weren't for dealing with the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, do you think I would be willing to cooperate with these evil soul masters?"

"But no matter what, we are indeed lagging behind in the cultivation of the younger generation. Shrek Academy and Body Sect are indeed powerful entities with long histories."

"If they hadn't underestimated soul tools, our Sun Moon Empire might not have had the chance to dominate the continent even after ten thousand years."

"Now, at least Shrek Academy is showing this trend. That arrogant guy lost the Soul Battle because he lacked a defensive Soul Tool. He will probably realize the importance of Soul Tools to him in the future, and even the entire Body Sect will."

At this point, Xu Tianran's expression changed before he continued, "Today's battle, no, the competition over the past month has taught me a lot. I was indeed arrogant in the past."

Orange sighed softly, "Your Highness, you will surely become a wise ruler of our Sun Moon Empire in the future."

Xu Tianran smiled slightly and patted her hand: "I don't care about being a wise ruler. What I care about is the process, the process of expanding territory, and the process of reaching the top. My life is to strive to trample the entire Douluo Continent under my feet."

Orange's expression immediately turned serious: "Your Highness will definitely succeed. Orange is your vanguard. No matter what, Orange is willing to fight for you on the battlefield, even to the death."

Xu Tianran suddenly smiled, a smile that was more sincere than before: "Dying in battle is unacceptable. I'm still counting on you to share glory with me in the future. I always need some close friends by my side, and you are the most important one."

Orange feigned emotion and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your Highness, do you think the Holy Spirit Sect can defeat Shrek Academy?"

"It seems that Shrek Academy's overall strength should not be underestimated."

"In individual battles, the strength of the Body Sect might be on par with Shrek Academy, but in team battles, the gap will likely widen further due to the amplification provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Xu Tianran pondered and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is indeed worthy of being the inherited Martial Soul of one of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Its effect is already very strong when placed in an ordinary team, but the amplification when placed in a top-tier team will be even more exaggerated and terrifying."

"In terms of individual strength, the Holy Spirit Cult may not be stronger than the Body Sect. But don't forget the origins of the Holy Spirit Cult; they are different from the Body Sect."

"The most terrifying thing about evil soul masters is not their strength, but the word 'evil' in their name. No matter how powerful Chen Ping is, can he withstand those evil soul skills, or defend against that boundless sea of ​​blood and the wailing of wronged souls?" "Of course, none of that matters anymore. No matter who wins this competition, these outstanding young talents only have two choices—either submit or die."

"With this project progressing to this point, aren't all the people from Douluo Continent, whether they're from academia or sects, just eager to join in the fun, watch the competition, and cheer for the champion?"

"Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to wipe out all these idiots in one fell swoop."

"I want to see how the three great empires react after I've got all the geniuses of the Douluo Continent in my hands. I want them to fight back directly. I want them to fall into chaos from within first!"

Orange felt a slight tremor in her heart, gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

As evening fell, just as Chen Ping was about to meet Chen An and make money off him, he encountered someone who should have theoretically left Mingdu two days ago.

For a long, long time.

Princess Vina, who had come with Xu Jiujiu, also arrived with her.

Clearly, the princess who had hinted to Chen Ping that he should leave Mingdu as soon as possible failed to do so.

"It's quite a rare occasion that both princesses have come together. Are you planning to travel together tomorrow?"

Chen Ping smiled slightly, clearly having guessed the other party's intentions.

"Yes, I've considered going together, but probably not tomorrow. The semi-finals and finals will definitely be even more exciting. Since we're already here, we should watch the games before we leave," Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.

Chen Ping raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting the princess to be so stubborn, so he nodded and said, "Then please make yourselves at home, I have other things to attend to."

Just as Chen Ping was about to leave, Vina and Xu Jiujiu were clearly getting anxious. Vina even stepped forward and said, "Why don't we all agree to leave together after this competition ends? Let's invite everyone from Shrek Academy too. It'll be more lively with more people."

"It's more lively with more people?"

Chen Ping smiled and said bluntly, "Your Highness Xu Jiujiu, you don't really want to tell me that you planned to leave a couple of days ago, but stayed until now because you changed your mind, do you?"

"Let me guess, was it because the window to leave Mingdu was completely closed from the two-day break during the quarterfinals? You sent out several groups of people to try to leave the city, but they couldn't get out at all?"

How do you know everything?

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened in surprise, completely unexpected that Chen Ping had everything under control.

"The reason you heard that other Soul Master academies and sects quietly left is because I spread the word."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't just be our top eight teams that are trapped in Mingdu; every single team that stayed in Mingdu and wanted to watch the finals would be trapped without a chance."

At this point, Chen Ping got up and walked to the windowsill, gazing into the distance, his True Sight Eye between his brows opening.

In the distance, outside the city of Mingdu, rows of small golden characters rose up. These were the names, ages, martial spirits, and level data of the Soul Masters hidden in the shadows, scanned by the Eye of True Sight.

These people hid perfectly, but under the rule-level ability of True Sight, they still had nowhere to hide.
