Chapter 580 Tang 3's Sophistry
Chapter 580 Tang San's Sophistry
The referee had now fully recovered from his brief shock, and his gaze suddenly turned stern as he looked at the Shrek Seven Devils team standing on the field.
Faced with the Auckland Academy team's indignant accusations from their coach and the sharp gaze from the referee, Tang San remained unfazed, smiling calmly as if he had been prepared.
"Respected referee, I only have one question for you. Are they dead?"
The referee frowned slightly and turned to look at the seven members of the Auckland Academy team who had fallen to the ground. Indeed, none of the seven were dead yet; they were still breathing, and with timely treatment, they should not die.
But this injury is too severe. Even if it can be cured, it may leave some aftereffects, which will probably affect future matches.
Seeing the referee deep in thought, Tang San's eyes gleamed, and he pointed to the female healing support Soul Master behind him:
"Our support-type Soul Master's ability is healing. She activated her Martial Soul at the beginning, releasing healing abilities that spread throughout the entire area."
"That's not for treating us, it's for them. If we really wanted to kill someone, would we treat our opponent?"
"It seems they don't need our treatment anymore, Senior Lin Yi, let's stop."
Tang San's voice was very loud. He deliberately used his soul power to spread his voice throughout the entire venue so that everyone could hear it.
This is Tang San's sophistry.
If their own Soul Masters heal the opponent from the very beginning, and then crush the opponent with overwhelming force, then even if the referee notices something, they cannot completely determine that they have violated the rules, since they have reason and evidence and can argue their case.
The referee looked this way and then that, momentarily at a loss for how to rule after being bewildered by Tang San's sophistry.
The incident happened suddenly, and soon two more referees ran up to the stage. The three of them huddled together, heads down, and began to discuss the matter.
A moment later, the referee who had been presiding over the match announced loudly:
"In the first match of the first round of the preliminary rounds, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy won, earning one point."
After all, the Shrek Seven Devils are now representing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which is directly under the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the Heaven Dou City competition area is hosted by the Heaven Dou Royal Family. The referees are also appointed by the Heaven Dou Royal Family, so they have to give the Heaven Dou Royal Family some face.
If we investigate further, the Shrek Seven Devils must have made mistakes and should be punished to some extent, such as being directly judged as a loser, as required by the teacher in charge of the Auckland Academy team.
However, to save face for the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the three referees, after a brief discussion, ultimately chose to ignore their mistakes and ruled that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2, also known as the Shrek Seven Devils Team, was the winner.
Boom! A huge murmur of discussion erupted from the audience. Some questioned the situation, some praised it, but most were shocked.
No one in the audience expected that the Shrek Seven Devils team, which was not favored and was even ridiculed, would be so strong, defeating the Oakland Academy team in just one minute.
This has been incredibly shocking to people.
…………
Soon, the seven seriously injured students of the Auckland Academy team were carried off the field one by one by the emergency medical team arranged by the event organizers, leaving only the Shrek Seven Devils team members on the field to enjoy the cheers and applause of the audience.
Tang San's tactics were very successful. He quickly won the game and demonstrated the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils, silencing all those who had mocked them.
As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse; the more ridiculed someone was before, the more attention they attract now.
Amidst the cheers and applause that resounded throughout the venue, Tang San couldn't help but curl a smug smile onto his lips.
In the VIP section in front of the Soul Arena, Ye Qifeng, chin in hand, watched this scene, a smile playing on his lips.
"As expected of you, Tang San. Enjoy your smugness. But what goes around comes around, and I hope you won't regret what you've done today."
Sitting in the center of the first row of the VIP section, Qian Renxue outwardly maintained a facade of happiness, seemingly pleased with the victory of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's second team. However, a look of disgust and revulsion surfaced deep within her eyes.
"This is Tang Hao's son, Tang Sanyao? He really is a filthy bastard."
Ning Fengzhi, who was also sitting in the first row of the VIP section, smiled elegantly when he saw the Shrek Seven Devils' outstanding performance.
Although he felt that Tang San and the others' methods were somewhat cruel and dishonorable, he did not think there was anything wrong with them. After all, it was a reasonable use of the competition rules, and there was nothing wrong with it.
What's more, his daughter Ning Rongrong was also in that team.
The Shrek Seven Devils' victory and the attention they gained were also beneficial to his daughter.
In the viewing area for the team leaders below the Battle Arena, Flander and Yu Xiaogang were both very pleased to see the little monsters on the stage defeat their opponents with overwhelming force.
The master stood with his back straight, hands behind his back, head held high, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he himself had won.
But in his mind, he had already begun to fantasize about Tang San, whom he had trained, and the Shrek Seven Devils dominating the competition and being invincible.
He himself became famous throughout the Douluo Continent and gained attention from all sides because he taught Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils, the most outstanding geniuses on the continent.
Flander's eyes were filled with the shapes of the Soul Coins, and he was already planning how to use this opportunity to attract more sponsorships and use the earned GG funds to expand Shrek Academy.
While the Shrek Seven Devils were enjoying the cheers and applause of the audience, Flander and Yu Xiaogang were having a good dream, unaware that they had become the target of other teams, either for their own purposes or out of caution.
The viewing area is specially prepared for students from participating academies.
After watching the Shrek Seven Devils' match against Auckland Academy, the seven girls from the Spirit Hall's second team, Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy team, and Shui Bing'er from the Heavenly Water Academy team all had strange and subtle expressions, as if they had already anticipated this outcome.
However, they didn't say much, but their gazes were somewhat cold when they looked at the Shrek Seven Devils.
The other teams in the spectator area all looked at the Shrek Seven Devils with disdain, seemingly disgusted by their brutal methods.
Although the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is a Soul Master battle competition, injuries are inevitable. However, strictly speaking, it is ultimately a battle of souls, not a life-or-death struggle.
The fact that the Shrek Seven Devils could inflict serious injury and near death with a single move is truly too brutal and hard to accept.
Everyone present was there to participate in the Elite Soul Master Competition, aiming to win honor for themselves and their respective academies, but no one wanted to die on the Soul Fighting Stage.
The Shrek Seven Devils' cruel approach has undoubtedly set a bad precedent. Who can guarantee that they won't use the same methods on their own team? After all, the qualifiers are a round-robin tournament, and they will inevitably meet again.
At this moment, all the other teams regarded the Shrek Seven Devils team as a thorn in their side and began to consider and formulate tactics against them.
…………
competition is over.
Qian Renxue stood up with a gentle expression, her gaze sweeping over Prince Xuexing and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who were still in shock and disbelief. She smiled coldly and then walked away leisurely.
Of course, Ye Qifeng was with her.
Ning Fengzhi also walked out of the VIP seats with a smile on his face, but he did not leave with Qian Renxue and Ye Qifeng. Instead, he turned around and walked in the direction where the Shrek Seven Devils were.
The Sword Douluo, who was not in the VIP section, quickly appeared beside Ning Fengzhi to protect him.
When Ye Qifeng returned to the rest room where the members of the Spirit Hall's second team had been before the opening ceremony, the seven girls were already waiting there.
"Brother Ye." "Big Brother Ye." "Brother Holy Son."
As soon as Ye Qifeng pushed open the door and entered, the girls who were laughing and playing in the lounge rushed towards him, and their affectionate greetings rang out at the same time.
"Ahem—, girls, have you forgotten there's one more person?"
Just then, two coughs suddenly came from behind Ye Qifeng. Only then did the girls realize that there was another person following Ye Qifeng, who was none other than the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing that the Crown Prince of Tiandou, Xue Qinghe, was also there, Ruiwen was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered and led her sisters to bow to him in a respectful manner.
At this moment, Raven was unaware that Xue Qinghe was actually her beloved sister Xue'er in disguise.
Qian Renxue had no intention of revealing her true identity. She wore a faint smile and glanced at the seven beautiful girls one by one.
His gaze lingered particularly long when it swept over Zhu Zhuqing's chest, until Zhu Zhuqing frowned in displeasure. Only then did he look away, smiling and waving lightly to the crowd.
"Please feel free to do as you please, no need for formalities."
After speaking, Qian Renxue turned to look at Ye Qifeng, her tone suddenly taking on a hint of teasing and mockery:
"The Seven Winds Saint is really lucky. He has so many beautiful girls around him. I can't help but feel a little envious."
But Ye Qifeng detected a hint of sarcasm and a touch of sour jealousy in his voice, and his heart tightened. He quickly explained:
"Your Highness is too kind. These are members of the second team sent by my Spirit Hall to participate in the Elite Soul Master Competition. They have already made their appearance on stage at the opening ceremony."
"They are all my sisters. Although they are not blood-related, our relationship is absolutely platonic."
"Alright, let me introduce you to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng gave Qian Renxue a brief introduction to the seven members of the second team.
Although Qian Renxue had known Ruiwen and the others for a long time, she was still introduced to her as usual, since her current identity was Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
This was the first time Xue Qinghe and the members of the second team had officially met, so it was quite necessary for them to introduce themselves.
Having finally calmed Qian Renxue's jealousy, Ye Qifeng breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked at the seven girls in the second team:
"How did you guys feel after watching that match?"
The girls exchanged glances, but did not answer immediately. Instead, they looked at Qian Renxue standing next to Ye Qifeng, their eyes clearly saying, "There are outsiders here, so it's not appropriate to say anything."
Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, then chuckled softly:
"Oh, don't worry about me, you guys just keep talking."
"Although I am the person in charge of coordinating this Elite Soul Master Tournament, I will not interfere with the process of the tournament, nor will I favor any team, and naturally I will not leak any information about your team."
The girls were slightly surprised upon hearing this, but they didn't speak immediately. Instead, they looked at Ye Qifeng and asked for his opinion with their eyes.
Seeing Ye Qifeng nod, Raven, as the team leader, stepped forward and said with certainty:
"They're just a bunch of clowns, nothing to worry about. Of course, I'm referring to that bizarre team called the 'Shrek Seven Devils'."
"Oh? A clown jumping around? That's a fitting description." Ye Qifeng smiled slightly. "So, if you encounter them later, do you know what to do?"
A domineering smile instantly appeared on Raven's striking, oval face:
"Treat others as they treat you."
…………
Not long after.
Ye Qifeng led the seven girls out of the lounge, with Qian Renxue following behind.
But just as he stepped out the door, he suddenly saw a figure in wine red, anxiously pacing around not far away, as if searching for something.
The woman in the wine-red dress had an exquisite and beautiful face, and her long, wavy wine-red hair was styled into a beautiful updo, which looked sophisticated and heroic, yet still beautiful.
The metal choker she wore around her neck was uniquely charming, making her fair and delicate neck appear even longer and more attractive.
The flame-shaped floral design between her eyebrows is equally unique and eye-catching, and her red lips, coated with lip gloss, are like blazing flames, exuding a fiery sexiness.
A wine-red dress, long wine-red hair, a metallic choker, and a flame-shaped floral headdress—her exquisite and stunning beauty, radiant and captivating, all proclaimed the identity of the wine-red-clad figure.
Who else could she be but Huo Wu?
"Fire Dance?"
Watching Huo Wu's tall figure move around in front of each lounge, Ye Qifeng's astonished expression softened instantly. He acted on his impulse and involuntarily called out a name.
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's voice, Huo Wu's delicate body trembled. She immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. The former's handsome face instantly came into view through her dark red eyes.
"ah--"
With a delighted cry, Huo Wu's wine-red figure transformed into a blur, her entire body resembling a fluttering red butterfly, and in an instant, she crashed into Ye Qifeng's arms, using the Meteor Butterfly Step that Ye Qifeng had taught her.
"Wind, it's you, it really is you."
Huo Wu hugged Ye Qifeng's neck tightly, clinging to him as if she were hanging on him, as if she wanted to completely merge into his body. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
"Why did you come here?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who had always been thinking of him, Ye Qifeng felt guilty, but also full of love and tenderness. He subconsciously reached out and hugged her delicate body tightly.
"I couldn't wait any longer, so I came to find you myself."
Huo Wu held Ye Qifeng tightly, tilted her head slightly, and stood on tiptoe to gaze into his eyes, which were filled with affection and infatuation.
"I just saw you walk this way, but I don't know which room you went into."
"So you searched room by room?"
"Um."
