Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 86 The Clever Rabbit

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, Wu Rou went up on stage. As they took turns speaking, Wu Rou drew a circle on Bibi Dong's palm with her index finger.

Their eyes met, and Wu Rou raised an eyebrow.

What did she do wrong? She just likes pretty kids calling her "Mom"!

Bibi Dong's hand trembled; her intuition told her that Wu Rou's condition was not right.

That look in my eyes—am I destined to be trapped in a locked room for two lifetimes?

Wu Rou: Don't be afraid, I'm very gentle~

Unlike Bibi Dong's inspirational speeches, Wu Rou's content was all practical advice, with the core focus on recruiting new members for the student council and preparing for the upcoming first dual-region Soul Master Competition.

Yes, because educational reform takes time, the sect alliance needs to conduct a ranking assessment of the original institutions of learning and integrate resources, and promote the development of public infrastructure, so the extended reform has been postponed.

This year, Douluo Continent has fully established a brand-new education system, and the brand-new Soul Master Competition has officially begun.

"This Soul Master Competition is divided into individual, duo, trio, and seven-person team competitions. Each person can register for a maximum of two events."

Wu Rou looked at the students below the stage; most of the senior students were at the Soul Master level.

Only a very small number of Soul Masters with innate Soul Power exceeding Level 8 are able to become Soul Kings during their middle school years with the help of various elixirs.

If the Spirit Hall is like this, then the geniuses from other academies are naturally even worse.

"Over the years, many prodigies from various sects have come to the Martial Soul Academy to study. I specifically informed His Holiness the Pope of this matter and offered my opinion."

"Starting today, by joining the Student Division of Wuhun Middle School, you can enjoy dual student status!"

"After review, the student council will open up corresponding slots to sects or families with friendly relations. Students with dual enrollment can represent the other academy in the Soul Master Competition!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but roll his eyes dramatically.

Dual student status————

Isn't this just blatantly making extra money?

In all his years, this was the first time he'd ever seen someone describe "earning extra money" in such a refined and elegant way. What "reporting this to His Holiness the Pope," what "opening up to friendly sects after review"—it all just sounds like the student council is short of money, so they're allowing students to take on freelance work and collect a "friendship fee" on the side.

Those small sects that want to send their disciples to the Martial Soul Academy for prestige but are unwilling to give up their own academy status have to pay money.

Those major sects that want more spots to participate in the Soul Master Competition but don't want to be limited by their own academy's quota also have to pay money.

The Spirit Hall collects money once, the students themselves collect money once, and the student council takes a cut again.

A win-win situation for all three parties.

The only losers are those poor students who can't afford the fees.

With the implementation of the dual enrollment system, more and more nobles and powerful forces will send their outstanding children to study at the Martial Soul Academy, which will directly exacerbate the competition within the academy.

Those with good grades have better resources and receive better training.

The increase in geniuses is bound to squeeze the living space of students who were originally in the middle class.

Qian Daoliu shook his head.

He was all too familiar with this tactic.

Back when he worked at the Spirit Hall, that's how the stewards below him did it.

The terms "special approval quota," "priority channel," and "expedited processing" have changed over and over again, but the essence has never changed.

Want to get things done? Give me the money.

The only difference is that back then they did it secretly, while now Wu Rou does it openly, under the guise of "working for the benefit of students."

He suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for those from poor families.

Having finally been admitted to Wuhun Middle School, he thought he could change his fate through his own abilities.

The result was that what truly changes one's destiny is not ability—

It's money!

No money?

Then let's just be the denominator!

Qian Daoliu sighed.

Oh well, that's just how the world is.

Wasn't he able to climb up the ladder back then because he had a good father?

Those without a father have to accept their fate.

On stage, Wu Rou's voice continued.

"The benefits of dual enrollment go far beyond just being able to participate in one more competition." She looked around, a smile playing on her lips. "Students with dual enrollment can, under certain policy conditions, enjoy the resources of both academies simultaneously. For example, you can use the discounted price at the Martial Soul Academy to buy pills, and then use the quota from the other academy to buy rare resources that the Martial Soul Academy doesn't have."

A commotion arose from the audience.

"And there's more," Wu Rou held up her third finger, "the rewards for the Soul Master Competition are doubled. Whichever academy you represent will give you one reward. If you represent two academies, you'll get two rewards. If you're lucky enough to make it to the finals for both academies, that's four rewards."

"Wow!"

This time, even the older students who had previously been indifferent couldn't sit still anymore.

Four rewards!

How much would that cost?

How many pills?

How many soul bones?

Wu Rou looked at the reaction from the audience and nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course, not everyone can apply for dual enrollment." She changed the subject, her tone becoming serious. "Applicants must meet three conditions: first, their cultivation level must reach at least Soul Master; second, they must have no disciplinary record at Martial Soul Academy; and third, they must pass the student council's interview and assessment."

A chorus of wails immediately erupted from the audience.

"Soul Master? I'm only level 37!"

"Oh no, I just got a demerit last semester!"

"What the hell is this interview assessment? Those student council guys are the worst at making things difficult for people!"

Seemingly having heard this, Wu Rou quickly added, "I know that in the past, student council members sometimes made things difficult for ordinary students. But you must believe me, under my leadership, these problems will absolutely not occur! If you have any objections to the interview process, I can ask the college's teachers to participate and supervise!"

These words instantly calmed the previously restless hearts of people.

Qian Daoliu's expression grew increasingly strange. This rabbit was truly cunning, actually managing to bring the academy's teachers onto its own warship.

Common interests —

Tsk, aren't they afraid of going too far?

Wu Rou smiled slightly, and waited for the wails to gradually subside before continuing, "However, considering that this is the first year, the Martial Soul Academy has decided to relax the requirements; anyone above the Soul Master level can apply, and the academy will also form three participating teams!"

"In addition to regular interviews, students can also be admitted directly without taking the entrance exam through recommendations from senior teachers or visiting lecturers at secondary schools or universities."

"This is the 'recommendation system'."

Upon hearing about the recommendation system, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but nod in approval.

Not just anyone can become a guest lecturer at a school under the Spirit Hall.

The prerequisite for becoming a senior teacher is that one's cultivation level has reached the Soul Saint level. Since they are all core members of the Spirit Hall, they naturally wouldn't dare to recommend people indiscriminately.

Officially, the ways to obtain dual student status are through recommendation and assessment/interview.

However, since the number of places for dual enrollment is limited, the total number of places and how many people can be admitted through each method are completely unknown!

There are so many things you can do here!
