Bringing Humiliation upon Himself
Viewers who frequently watch esports competitions know that the formations adopted by the two Battle Team almost always foreshadow the course of the match.
Both the Seven Treasures Team and the Shrek Team adopted Offense-Defense Formation, and neither side had a strong desire to attack. The early stages were bound to be a tug-of-war with relatively few clashes.
It's late at night now, and many viewers are exhausted after watching the games all day.
I decided to have my companion keep an eye on things while I took a nap.
Upon seeing what was happening on the field, the audience stared wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief, and for a moment the entire venue fell silent.
The spectators who were dozing off were not asleep; worried about missing any exciting parts, they kept their ears glued to the action.
Seeing that the scene had fallen silent, they lazily asked their friends, "What happened? Was the game paused or did something terribly wrong?"
Their friend swallowed hard and said incredulously, "The game is over."
"What?"
The dozing spectators suddenly sat up and, upon seeing what was happening on the Arena, belatedly realized what was going on.
The Seven Treasures Team has decided to adopt Quick-Decision Tactic, unleashing their Soul Skill as if they were free, spamming them relentlessly at their opponent.
The Shrek Seven Devils were completely caught off guard.
Like most viewers, they believed that the match had just begun and that the Seven Treasures Team would be locked in a tug-of-war with them for a while.
Unexpectedly, the Seven Treasures Team did not follow the rules and did not care about formation at all, charging forward headlong.
After being hit, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Oscar in the back row of the Shrek Team didn't even have time to activate their Martial Soul.
Caught up in Wu Qi's Storm, they were unable to activate their Martial Soul, let alone retaliate.
Although Tang San reacted quickly, the difference in absolute strength and numbers left him with no way to turn the tide.
In the end, every member of the Shrek Team suffered severe injuries and lay on the Arena, their fate unknown.
Now, the Seven Treasures Team has produced its second Soul King, and one with such an abnormally powerful Soul King Soul Ring Configuration.
Wouldn't that make the championship position even more secure?
Below the Arena.
It took Yu Xiaogang to recover from her shock.
Yes, the powerful Shrek Team was eliminated by their opponents at an extremely fast pace, and even suffered heavy losses one by one.
Fueled by rage, Yu Xiaogang, panting heavily, pointed angrily at Wu Qi on the Arena, "Murder! This is murder! I demand the immediate disqualification of the Seven Treasures Team and their Prison!"
The audience was still in shock, and the entire venue was silent, making Yu Xiaogang's voice seem extremely abrupt.
After recovering from their shock, the audience suddenly felt that the words sounded familiar. "Where have I heard this before?"
On the Arena.
Wu Qi was well-prepared for this, and he smiled as he countered, "Then may I ask Mr. Yu Xiaogang, are your students dead?"
The referee had already devised a plan and immediately rushed onto the Arena to check on the Shrek team.
Immediately, the referees announced loudly, "The Shrek Team members are not in mortal danger; your accusation is unfounded!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong angrily retorted, "A conspiracy! Absolutely a conspiracy! Everyone knows that the Seven Treasures Team has Imperial Family backing. You've clearly been bribed by the Imperial Family to deliberately retaliate against the Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, the audience expressed their utter contempt. "Why are you targeting Shrek Academy? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
"And did you notice that the Support-Type Spirit Master of the Seven Treasures Team has his Martial Soul constantly activated?"
On the Arena, Wu Qi smiled and pointed at Ning Tianyu behind him, "Although we were a bit ruthless, to avoid injuring your students, our Support-Type Spirit Master have been focusing their buffs on them."
"Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul doesn't possess powerful healing abilities, its seven-colored light can sustain their lives, demonstrating that our intentions were good."
Enraged, Yu Xiaogang roared, "How dare you, you bastard! You're clearly targeting Shrek Academy on purpose, making such a high-sounding statement! I'm filing a complaint!"
The referee ignored his raucous barking and immediately announced, "In this match, Seven Treasures Team has committed no violations; therefore, the victory belongs to them."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, this match only lasted twenty-nine seconds, breaking the previous record held by the Shrek Academy."
Yu Xiaogang had no time to record anything. When he noticed that Ning Tianyu hadn't put away his Martial Soul after the match, he used this as a pretext to attack him.
"I want to report that the Seven Treasures Team was still using their Martial Soul after the competition ended. Isn't this a serious violation? I demand that their results be immediately canceled and that they be expelled from this This Tournament!"
Ning Tianyu's actions are obvious to everyone.
Without his brilliance supporting them, whether the Shrek Seven Devils could have held on is another matter entirely.
On the High Platform, Ning Fengzhi's face was grim, and he unusually swore, "This guy is shameless!"
The Gu Rong was also indignant.
However, having learned from the Imperial Family's experience, they, as the parties involved, dared not do anything to Yu Xiaogang, lest they suffer a backlash from public opinion.
Justice resides in the hearts of the people.
The Shrek Seven Devils brought this upon themselves. If they hadn't defeated the Royal Fight Team Three in the Opening Match in the same way, even forcing the latter to withdraw from the competition.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be suffering retribution today.
The Seven Treasures Team did not violate any rules, and the referee will not pay attention to Yu Xiaogang's unreasonable behavior.
Besides, Yu Xiaogang has time to curse people here, but not time to rescue his students!
The Seven Treasures Team extended a helping hand to the Shrek Seven Devils out of humanitarian considerations. What's wrong with that?
Moreover, this behavior should be set as a benchmark.
On the field they are opponents, but off the field they are friends and confidants, never letting personal emotions override the game. Isn't this behavior admirable?
Flender sighed a few times, not expecting Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong to do anything. He immediately ran backstage and hired Healing-Type Spirit Master at a high price on the field. Then he rushed to the field to carry people away.
Yu Xiaogang remained relentless, using his status as Yu Yuanzhen's eldest son to launch into a tirade against the referee and, consequently, the Imperial Family.
He even launched a personal attack on Wu Qi, saying, "You little bastard, I only refused your Apprenticeship Invitation back then, and you treated me like this! You ungrateful bastard, you deserve to die a horrible death."
Wu Qi was too lazy to waste words with him.
Salas, on the other hand, slammed his hand on the armrest of his seat and suddenly stood up. "Enough! You're just a Level 29 piece of trash. Where do you get the confidence to try and scam such a young Soul King powerhouse?"
Salas's actions surprised even Ning Fengzhi!
Well, even the Spirit Hall has stepped in to speak up for them, which shows just how much Yu Xiaogang is hated!
But this is also a good thing, because with Salas, an outsider, stepping forward, no one can find fault with him.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned by the thunderous roar. Before he could react, Salas continued, "Wu Qi, such a young Soul King, who on the continent can rival him?"
"What could a piece of trash like you, stuck at Level 29 your entire life, possibly have to attract such a genius to become your apprentice?"
"I'm afraid you've turned your love into hatred because you couldn't accept a disciple. How shameful!"
"I am always reasonable; right is right, and wrong is wrong!"
"As one of the organizers of the competition and also as the supervising referee, I hereby announce that Seven Treasures Team has not violated any rules."
