Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 242 Shrek Academy Gets Praised to the Heavens

"When you have someone edit and dub the video, you can say it like this..."

Qian Renxue then explained some key points.

"No problem, young master."

The knockout stage lasts for three days, with one lucky student from each of the 133 academies receiving a bye. Fourteen matches will be played on the third day. The second round of the round-robin tournament will begin on the fourth day.

After the competition, noisy chatter could be heard everywhere in a teahouse. Many people held battle reports sold by the Star Luo Royal Family, and the air was filled with exciting discussions.

The various covert surveillance networks that the Xingluo royal family had previously established to monitor the public were also among them.

"Hey everyone! Check out today's latest battle report! In today's elimination rounds, Shrek Academy, the number one school on the continent, displayed an unprecedented six 100,000-year spirit rings!"

"Shrek is truly Shrek! They've stood strong on the continent for millennia. At this rate, they'll probably win the championship again this time," someone said excitedly.

"But are those six 100,000-year spirit rings real?" someone questioned.

"Yes, yes, although I'm not a Soul Master, I know what a 100,000-year Soul Ring is... Last time I heard at an auction, a 10,000-year Soul Bone sold for several million gold Soul Coins."

"It's a pity that these battle reports are all in text form, and they don't have the impact of seeing it with your own eyes."

"Not necessarily!" At this moment, a person dressed in a black and white robe in the teahouse said loudly, "You may not know this, but in Nebula Square west of Star Luo City, there seems to be someone selling image beads that record battles! Only five gold soul coins!"

Immediately, the entire teahouse fell silent.

"Look, everyone!" The man took out an image bead, which recorded high-definition, uncensored footage. It was even edited, showing various perspectives, sometimes zooming in to observe details, and sometimes zooming out to see a visually stunning explosion!

"Ah! That's wonderful! Let's hurry over to Nebula Plaza!"

boom--

Immediately, two-thirds of the customers in the teahouse ran out.

Even the undercover agents assigned to monitor the public were bewildered. How could someone be competing with the royal family for business?

Less than an hour after the first day of the competition ended, the three squares of Xingluo City were once again packed with people. These three squares are located in the west, south and north of the city, respectively. Due to the huge area of ​​Xingluo City, there is no overlap in the markets.

The Star Luo Imperial Palace is located in the east.

In the square, CocoNair first had her people use Soul Guidance Projection to record and broadcast several exciting matches on a huge screen as a form of promotion. Then, she had her people sell the video beads.

The cost of an image bead is less than two gold soul coins. Even including processing and production, it is at most two and a half gold soul coins. In other words, the merchant guild can achieve a 100% profit.

The people in the square were excitedly discussing it, all thinking that the person who came up with this sales method was a genius.

Qian Renxue silently swayed among the crowd, observing the situation.

To her surprise, the battle of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy only ranked third in the highlights.

"The third exciting moment: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

On the giant projection screen, a massive level-six soul-guided cannon appeared behind Ma Rulong. Combined with the layout and preparations he and his teammates had made in advance, a huge explosion resounded on the competition stage, sending up plumes of thick smoke.

According to the "smoke without injury" theorem, the opponent was successfully saved at the last moment by a referee at the Soul Master level. It must be said that the visual impact of a Soul Master in this kind of competition cannot compare to those dazzling Soul Skills.

"The second exciting moment: Shrek Academy!"

With the call from the screen, the image perfectly recreates the scene of Huo Yuhao unleashing his Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"The most exciting moment..." The voice paused for a moment, and the screen went silent. Then, a huge cheer erupted in the video, "It's Shrek Academy again! Let's all take a look at those astonishing six 100,000-year spirit rings!"

Instantly, the entire square was ablaze with excitement, with everyone jumping and shouting Shrek's name.

"Buy, buy, buy! I want twenty video beads! I want all the Shrek Team's videos and highlight reels!" someone shouted. "I'm going to keep this awesome video as a family heirloom!"

Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue cheered inwardly.

"Money, it's all money!"

……

In the rest suite of Shrek Academy at the Star Emperor Hotel, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were already asleep.

Wang Yan paced back and forth in his room, fiddling with the image bead he had just bought at a high price from a passerby, looking uneasy.

Sitting in front of him were Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen.

"What's going on with these beads? How could someone be selling our match footage today like this! And even providing such detailed explanations? Who can analyze our situation so clearly!" Wang Yan seemed about to roar.

Today's great victory should have been a cause for celebration, and he even bowed deeply to the Shrek Seven Devils.

However, when Dai Yueheng went out to buy healing pills for the three monsters using his connections, he unexpectedly discovered that passersby were comparing the image beads they had bought.

So he bought a list of the top ten most exciting moments.

As a result, after watching it once, Wang Yan first greatly appreciated this kind of publicity, because it was undoubtedly creating momentum for Shrek Academy and increasing its influence.

However, after watching the later parts, the explanation in the image bead turned into a detailed analysis of the tactics Shrek Academy used today, including the characteristics of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the possibility that the 100,000-year Soul Ring is a special kind of simulated Soul Skill, and so on.

This is undoubtedly digging out Shrek Academy's true strength bit by bit!

The key point is that with these explanations, other participating students can easily obtain information about Shrek Academy.

"Teacher Wang, don't worry. In my opinion, this unknown Chanel Chamber of Commerce probably just stumbled upon the plan by accident, guessing the juniors' plans based on wild imagination," Dai Yueheng quickly said.

However, he inwardly scoffed. This martial soul was from a descendant of a remnant of the Spirit Hall, who possessed the Panlong Staff. What did he know about martial soul research? Why hide such a simple flaw in martial soul fusion that he and Xiao Tao could see at a glance?

The opponent isn't stupid. If they fall for something they've already revealed once, they're either being foolish or deliberately letting the opponent win.

"Yes, Professor Wang, don't be so pessimistic," Ling Luochen said. "Why don't you think about it differently? We've shown such amazing results on the very first day, the other colleges will probably be even more in awe of us."

"In my opinion, this kind of publicity stunt is actually building momentum for us," Dai Yueheng added confidently.
