Exposing Shrek's Cheating

Star Luo Square, on the Competition Stage.

He Caitou's muscles bulged as he gathered all his strength into a punch and hurled it straight at Jiang Yi.

He intended to finish Jiang Yi off directly and win the match.

Everyone in the Audience Seats stared at the scene in shock.

No one knew what had caused Jiang Yi to suddenly bleed from all seven orifices and suffer severe injuries.

But judging from the situation, Jiang Yi was bound to lose this battle.

In Shrek's Rest Area, Huo Yuhao's face was exceedingly pale, yet he revealed a smile.

After going to such lengths, they had finally dealt with Jiang Yi.

At the same time, he was somewhat confused.

In truth, he had not asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to use much power in that Spiritual Shock.

He had been afraid that if Jiang Yi suddenly suffered overly serious injuries, it would arouse suspicion.

But why had Jiang Yi still been injured so badly?

"Brother Sky Dream, what happened? Didn't you hold back?" Huo Yuhao could not help asking.

"It has nothing to do with me. I did exactly as you asked. The reason this happened is probably because that kid's Spiritual Power is low to begin with."

"Still, this seems normal. That kid should have a Body Martial Soul, just like you."

"His physical body is so powerful that it should be a rather extreme type of Body Martial Soul, which caused his Spiritual Power to be weaker."

"Besides, I was very discreet. The humans here won't discover that you did it," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up after hearing this. So that was it.

In that case, if Jiang Yi's academy advanced later, he could also restrain Jiang Yi.

Just as everyone thought Jiang Yi was about to be defeated.

Jiang Yi, whose body had gone limp and who was about to collapse to the ground, had his eyes flare with incomparably sharp light.

He raised his right hand like lightning and blocked He Caitou's full-strength punch.

"You think you've won?" Jiang Yi lifted his head, his blood-stained eyes staring coldly at He Caitou.

Though he had not launched an attack, He Caitou felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, as if needles were piercing them.

This was the manifestation of powerful Spiritual Power surging forth through one's gaze.

Jiang Yi suddenly exerted force with his palm. Crack! He Caitou's bones shattered instantly.

"Aah!" He Caitou let out a miserable howl, his face twisted in agony.

Before his pain could subside, Jiang Yi lashed out with a whip kick directly into his abdomen.

The sound of bones breaking rang out again. He Caitou's massive body was sent flying, smashing fiercely into the Protective Barrier before finally sliding to the ground.

"Caitou!"

"Senior Brother!" Two cries of alarm rang out. One came from Wang Yan, and the other from Huo Yuhao.

Bei Bei had already rushed over and arrived at He Caitou's side to inspect him.

He discovered that the bones in his left fist had been completely pulverized, his palm reduced to a lump of mangled flesh.

"Damn it!" Bei Bei glared furiously at Jiang Yi on the Competition Stage.

Jiang Yi ignored his gaze. He took a handkerchief from his Soul Tool and wiped away the blood flowing from his seven orifices.

It was as though the person injured just now had not been him.

"Oh!" The spectators throughout Star Luo Square erupted in cries of shock.

Jiang Yi, who had just been in imminent danger of elimination, had actually turned the tables.

Xu Jiawei's eyes were filled with disbelief. Jiang Yi had suddenly been injured, then suddenly recovered—the change had happened in an instant.

"What exactly is going on with this Jiang Yi?"

After wiping the blood clean, Jiang Yi swept his cold gaze over everyone in Shrek Academy's Rest Area.

He was met with one furious glare after another, but he did not care. What he wanted was to defeat every last one of them.

To turn their so-called Shrek glory into a joke.

Bei Bei carried He Caitou back to the Rest Area, where everyone wore ugly expressions and looked deeply worried.

Wang Yan stepped forward to examine him, a flash of pain appearing in his eyes.

"Teacher, let me take the field next." Bei Bei's voice suppressed his fury.

"No." Wang Yan refused immediately as before.

"Why?! Other than me, who else can go up there and defeat him?" Bei Bei shouted emotionally.

His best friend Xu Sanshi had been injured, and now He Caitou had been defeated as well.

If he still did not take the field, Shrek Academy's glory would be hanging by a thread.

"Bei Bei, do you know what kind of situation we will face if you take the field again?" Wang Yan asked solemnly.

For this battle, they had originally wanted to maintain the mystery from the previous match and prevent others from seeing through their bluff.

But now, two team members had suffered consecutive defeats, and both had been Soul Ancestors.

If they continued fighting, they truly would not have the strength to deal with the later Round-Robin Tournament.

Being eliminated in the second round would look far worse than losing a Round-Robin Tournament match.

Bei Bei could only fall silent after hearing that. He knew he could not take the field again.

The speed and strength Jiang Yi had displayed just now were such that even if he went all out, he might not be able to defeat him.

Even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

At that point, Jiang Nannan would be the only Soul Ancestor left on the team. There would be no way for them to continue the following matches.

"Shrek Academy admits defeat." Wang Yan shouted those words in a trembling voice.

That declaration spread throughout the entire competition area. Whether it was the spectators or the participating teams, all of them turned to look at Shrek's Rest Area.

Shrek Academy had actually admitted defeat.

The audience could not believe it, while the representative teams wore varying expressions.

After losing two people in a row, they had directly admitted defeat instead of sending out that player with six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

This seemed to prove that Shrek was all bark and no bite.

"Admit defeat? Do you think it ends just because you admitted defeat?" Jiang Yi showed a cold smile.

At This Moment, the Referee Realized what was happening and prepared to announce Yunluo Academy's victory.

At This Moment, Jiang Yi spoke. "Wait."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

"Player Jiang Yi, what do you have to say?" the Referee asked sternly.

"I want to report Shrek Academy for cheating," Jiang Yi said.

His voice traveled through the Amplification Soul Tool and reached everyone's ears.

The scene immediately erupted in an uproar. Someone was actually accusing Shrek Academy of cheating.

In Shrek's Rest Area, everyone immediately glared angrily, while only Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered.

The Referee's Face Changed as well. This was no small matter. Shrek was the continent's number one academy and held tremendous influence.

"Don't slander us! Shrek Academy would never cheat!" Bei Bei immediately retorted in anger.

"Heh." Jiang Yi gave two cold laughs.

"Everyone saw my battle with He Caitou just now. All of a sudden, I began bleeding from all seven orifices."

"I can say with absolute certainty that I suffered a Mental Attack. How could He Caitou, a Soul Engineer, possibly possess a spiritual-type attack?" Jiang Yi asked in return.

As Soon As This Was Said, everyone recalled the scene from just now. It truly had looked like he had suffered a Mental Attack.

"There is a spiritual-type Spirit Master among your Shrek Academy members."

"The six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings displayed yesterday were simulated with his Mental Soul Skill."

"When Shrek was about to lose, he secretly made a move and cheated by launching a Mental Attack against me."

Jiang Yi's cold gaze turned toward Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao immediately panicked.

Everyone in the square focused their eyes on Huo Yuhao. In an instant, it felt as though a crushing weight had been placed upon him.

Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao, and something suddenly exploded in his mind.

Because he recalled how, back at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao had helped him cheat and defeat Xu Sanshi.

"This really was done by Yu Hao!" Bei Bei's pupils suddenly contracted.
