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

Chapter 87 Wu Rou: I really want to improve.

"Recommendation system?"

"Core members?"

Does anyone know anyone in the student council?

The students clearly lacked the insight to see through the "conspiracy," and another commotion broke out in the crowd.

Wu Rou raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I know what you're thinking—admission without examination, isn't that just using connections?"

Wu Rou smiled and spread her hands.

"That's right, it's through the back door!"

The audience fell silent.

No one expected that someone would dare to bring such a thing to the forefront.

The new student council president is so fierce!

"But I must tell you," Wu Rou's voice suddenly rose, "that in this world, backdoors are also a resource."

"Your ability to find backdoors demonstrates your resource integration skills; your ability to get recommendations shows you have strong connections. These abilities are more important than your soul power level!"

She scanned the entire room with a gaze as sharp as lightning.

"What do you think you'll rely on after graduation? Soul power? Can soul power put food on the table? Can it get you a position in the Spirit Hall? Can it earn you respect in your sect?"

"cannot!"

"What truly gives you a foothold is who you know, who can help you, and who you can help. That's the rule of this world!"

In the audience, some people seemed to be deep in thought, some looked disdainful, and some kept their heads down and remained silent.

In the corner, a debt-ridden working student in a tattered school uniform clenched his fist.

back door.

Connections.

Resources.

He didn't have any of those things.

He only possessed soul power and the meager skills he had acquired through desperate cultivation.

But now it seems that this skill is simply not enough.

A young man in brocade robes glanced at him and sneered.

"What are you looking at? What does having dual enrollment have to do with you? Can you afford the fees?"

The student working while in debt didn't say anything; he just lowered his head even further.

The young man in brocade robes wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but was interrupted by Wu Rou on the stage.

"Of course, I know that not everyone here has connections," Wu Rou's voice softened slightly, "but I can guarantee that someone will definitely obtain this spot through fair and just channels!"

"The number of spots that can be obtained through back channels is limited; whoever gets a spot depends on who has the strongest connections!"

"People with connections have their own way of doing things, while those without connections just follow the established rules."

"Please believe me—I will do everything in my power to uphold this hard-won fairness!"

When Wu Rou spoke, her voice was strong and clear. Her innate talent as a Soft-Boned Rabbit created a special aura around her, causing some people with lower strength to believe her words without even realizing it.

The audience stirred again, with whispers rising and falling.

Wu Rou didn't stop them, she just watched them quietly—fairness must be guaranteed.

According to the information she consulted, even if the Spirit Hall helped everyone awaken their spirits for free, and even if there were now ways to cultivate acquired spirit power, most geniuses in the world would not attach themselves to the Spirit Hall immediately after awakening their spirits.

As the Spirit Hall deepens its educational reforms, more and more people want to enjoy the same treatment and education as the Spirit Hall. However, no one wants to see the Spirit Hall become the only dominant force, and every faction must ensure that its own rights are not harmed!

When the policy of dual enrollment was introduced, smaller factions could discover hidden geniuses among the common people, provide them with loans to enter Martial Soul Elementary School, and encourage them to obtain dual enrollment by passing the assessment, thus "borrowing a chicken to lay an egg".

The first generation of "eggs" may remember where they came from after they hatch.

But what about their next generation?

As generation after generation goes by, will everyone truly remain loyal?

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Wu Rou had seen too many similar examples. She knew that this method of slowly boiling a frog in water must be effective!

In this new era of reform, she is determined to become the brightest star in Martial Soul Academy!

Wu Rou: I really want to improve!

After the murmurs subsided, Wu Rou continued, "Starting today, the student council will offer exclusive student loans. The interest rate for these loans is 12% per annum. Compared to private lending outside, this rate is already very low."

Very low?

Many students in the audience had twitching lips.

Twelve percent, and you call that low?

Borrowing 10,000 gold soul coins requires repaying 11,200 after one year. Borrowing 100,000 requires repaying 112,000 after one year. If you borrow several hundred thousand, how many years will it take to repay after graduation?

Ke Wu Rou is right.

Compared to those private loans outside that often charge 20% interest, the student union is indeed quite ethical.

"Interested students can get an application form from the student union after the meeting."

Wu Rou concluded by saying, "Spots are limited, first come, first served."

She paused, then suddenly gave a meaningful smile.

"Just a heads-up—there are only fifty spots available for dual enrollment!"

"Listen carefully, there are only 50 students in the entire middle school! Not 50 students in each grade!"

"First come, first served, no exceptions."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

"Fifty? Just fifty?"

"Damn, we have to grab it right now!"

"Don't push, don't push, I was here first!"

The students who were just hesitating suddenly became incredibly excited and rushed towards the student council registration area.

The work-study students were jostled and pushed around, and eventually retreated to a corner, silently watching the backs of the group of richly dressed young men rushing forward.

On stage, Wu Rou watched this scene, and the smile on her lips gradually faded.

She turned around and walked backstage.

As she passed Bibi Dong, she suddenly stopped and whispered, "What's that part-time worker's name?"

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then followed her gaze to the corner of the wall.

"I think his name is Zhao Tiezhu." She thought for a moment, "He's a work-study student, with a soul power level of 37. His grades have always been good, but his family is poor and can't afford the tuition, so he supports himself by working part-time."

Wu Rou nodded, said nothing more, and went straight backstage.

Just one more thought in my mind—

Next time I give a speech, I might invite someone to perform a skit; that might be even more effective.

Seeing that the freshman assembly, which had suddenly lost a large group of upperclassmen watching, Qian Daoliu sighed, straightened his robes, and walked toward the stage.

As he passed by Wu Rou, he couldn't help but complain, "You're too cruel. What you're doing isn't fair to ordinary people!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Rou gazed at his retreating figure with a complex expression.

ruthless?

fair?

There is no such thing as fairness in this world.

The only difference is that some people are willing to give an opportunity, and some are willing to take a gamble.

That's it.

On the stage, Qian Daoliu was already standing in the center.

The older students who had come to watch the spectacle had already dispersed.

The new students dared not move, fearing they would leave a bad impression on the Limit Douluo. The chaotic crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes turned to Qian Daoliu.

He cleared his throat, and his first words stunned everyone: "Don't believe anything that President Wu Rou said just now."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"What?"

"Don't believe it?"

"Then what is he here for?"

Qian Daoliu stared expressionlessly at the audience. Once the commotion subsided slightly, he continued, "Backdoors, connections, resources—these are indeed useful. But remember—all of these things are built on one premise!"

He paused, then said, slowly and deliberately, "That means you have to be capable yourself."

The audience fell silent.

"If you lack ability, even if you get in through connections, you'll still be trampled on. If you lack ability, even if you take out a loan to buy resources, you'll still be working for someone else." Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, yet it struck everyone's heart like a hammer. "So, instead of figuring out how to get in through connections, focus on how to increase your soul power. With higher soul power, connections will naturally come to you."

He scanned the entire room, his gaze finally settling on the group of poorly dressed people in the corner.

Life is tough, but there always needs to be successful people who give us some hope by promising us something.

Lao Qian cooked a pot of chicken soup.

"As for those who have no background, no money, and no connections, remember this: the most worthless thing in this world is complaining and blaming others."

"The only thing you can rely on is yourselves. Practice for an extra hour, sweat an extra drop, and endure an extra beating compared to others."

"If you can get through this, you'll have a chance. If you can't, then accept your fate."
