Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 76: Rules are for exploiting loopholes.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yun finished asking the question, Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong both shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.

"I'll listen to the boss," Zheng Xiaolong said decisively.

"Me too." Xiao Xiao nodded.

It's supposed to be a 3v3 battle, but in reality, the two of them are just there to make up the numbers and coast along. If that's the case, why not agree to it?

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Soul Arena!" Wu Feng couldn't wait to swing her fist. She had wanted to fight Lin Yun for a long time, not only because of Ning Tian, ​​but also because of her Martial Soul.

Let Wu Feng see just how much worse her red dragon is compared to Lin Yun's golden dragon!

"Hmph, it's the Soul Master who's strong, not the Martial Soul. I refuse to believe I, Wu Feng, am inferior to you, Lin Yun!"

……

An hour later.

The battle, which began after going through layers of procedures and payments, ended in less than three minutes, faster than Ultraman fighting a monster.

Lin Yun was the first to walk out of the Soul Arena, stretching with a calm expression. Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong followed behind him with strange expressions, their faces filled with the feeling of wanting to laugh but being unable to, looking very uncomfortable.

Behind the three of them, Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er held onto Wu Feng's arms on either side. Ning Tian looked helpless, while Nanmen Yun'er's surprised mouth was still agape.

Only Wu Feng's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering.

"What a satisfying battle!" Lin Yun said with a good mood after stretching.

"Pfft~" Xiao Xiao was completely stunned, one hand covering her lower abdomen, the other hand on Lin Yun's body, laughing out loud.

Zheng Xiaolong was also stunned, and he admired Lin Yun even more.

Wu Feng, who was walking behind, was so angry that his pale face turned three shades darker in an instant.

"Exhilarating? Bah! Is this how you fight? You're clearly cheating!" Wu Feng's temper flared up.

"Oh? Then tell me, where did I cheat?" Lin Yun turned around and looked at Wu Feng calmly. "The strict rules of the freshman assessment are that a team cannot have two offensive-type Soul Masters and cannot use Soul Tools. Our battle just now was a simulation of the freshman assessment rules. According to the rules, I did not break the rules."

"But..." Wu Feng's face darkened even more, and he opened his mouth but was speechless.

"No buts. The Tang Clan can still use their signature hidden weapons, so why can't I use mine?" Lin Yun shrugged, his face full of mockery.

"You need to understand that having a special skill is also part of your strength."

Wu Feng wanted to say something more, but Ning Tian stopped her: "Alright, Feng-mei, Lin Yun is right. According to the rules of the freshman assessment, he didn't break the rules. Besides, even if he didn't use his 'special skill,' you still couldn't beat him based on strength alone..."

"Alright..." Wu Feng shrank back sheepishly and backed down.

In short, Lin Yun's "special skill" gave the five children in front of him a great shock. These rigid-minded kids probably couldn't understand it no matter how hard they racked their brains, that the freshman assessment could be played in this way.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, was not so rigid.

Aren't rules meant to be exploited? As long as the rules don't explicitly prohibit something, it's permissible to do it; how you do it is up to you.

However, even though Wu Feng was thoroughly humiliated by Lin Yun's special skill, she actually had a strange desire to see others suffer from it as well.

If you've been caught in the rain, how can you not tear someone else's umbrella?

She was already quite impatient to see the shocked expressions on those people's faces.

"Since we're already all together and it's about time, let's go get some food together. It's on me!" Lin Yun said with a smile. "Hmph, at least you have some conscience. I'm going to eat you out of house and home today!" Wu Feng retorted defiantly.

Ning Tian shook his head helplessly, then reached out and flicked her forehead hard with his slender fingers.

"Stop messing around, Fengmei."

That's why people say Lü Tong is the most terrifying. Ning Tian only used four simple words to completely subdue Wu Feng, who was all talk and no action and had become arrogant and aloof.

If it were Lin Yun, he could probably crush all of Wu Feng's bones, but she would still be stubborn.

No comparison!

The new student assessment took place as scheduled the following day.

Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy had four hurdles when recruiting students, including testing bone age and soul power, and testing combat strength. Ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy no longer has these procedures. As long as the bone age and soul power level meet the requirements and there is a letter of recommendation, one can be admitted.

However, there is an additional screening mechanism after enrollment, namely the freshman assessment.

Each year, there are about a thousand new students. Of these, only one-third can pass the new student assessment. There are more than 300 groups of three students each, and the vast majority of them will be eliminated.

On the day they submitted their team forms, Mu Jin had already explained the rules for the new student assessment to them.

Apart from those who were originally in the same group, all class teams will be broken up and dispersed to numerous assessment zones to fight against teams from other classes.

The first day only requires one battle, with six groups assigned to each division, and these six groups then fight each other in pairs. The second day requires four battles, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. The third day requires five battles, three in the morning and two in the afternoon.

The entire freshman assessment lasted for three days, with ten matches used to eliminate participants based on the number of wins. The bottom two-thirds of the participants were all disqualified.

Of course, Mu Jin didn't go into the specific details of the rules, such as which team would advance and which would be eliminated if they had the same number of wins. These were things that the academy's higher-ups needed to consider, and they weren't really relevant to the teachers and students.

After the freshman assessment comes the freshman ranking competition. The top one-third of the teams that passed the assessment, and the top sixty-four teams with the most wins, will participate in the ranking competition.

At sixty-four, he advanced to thirty-two.

Thirty-two, then sixteen.

Sixteen to eight.

Eight to four.

The semi-finals and the finals.

It's no wonder that Douluo Continent is known as the "Competition Continent" in addition to the "Love Continent"—there's no shortage of competitions everywhere you go.

It was precisely because Mu Jin meticulously explained all the rules of the freshman assessment that Lin Yun came up with the idea of ​​using some unconventional tactics in the freshman assessment.

After all... aren't rules meant to be exploited?

As long as the rules don't explicitly prohibit it, it's all permissible. Letting him fight with kids on the field would be a bit pointless; it's more in line with his perverse tastes to create some fun during the competition.
