Wang Yan's Sob Story

Everyone's emotions had been stirred. They all wanted to know whether Huo Yuhao had really cheated.

This situation left the referee on the Competition Stage at a loss for what to do.

He looked up at Xu Jiawei on the city wall. The Star Luo Emperor gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Naturally, Xu Jiawei knew best whether Shrek Academy had cheated.

Although he had not sensed it himself, who else but Shrek could have caused the sudden change in Jiang Yi?

"Continue listening to him."

A voice rang out in the referee's mind.

With the emperor's instruction, the referee calmed down as well.

"Player Jiang Yi, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? I don't know what method he used, but he did it very covertly."

"However, if he wanted to cheat by penetrating the Protective Barrier, the expenditure of his Spiritual Power would definitely have been enormous."

"His face is pale now. If the organizers are willing to send someone to examine whether he has excessively depleted his Spiritual Power, the truth will naturally become clear." Jiang Yi stared at Huo Yuhao as he spoke.

"That's right. A check will tell us whether he cheated."

At This Moment, Elder Ma, the Team Leader from Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, stepped forward in support.

When it came to making things difficult for Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy naturally had to lend a hand.

"What right do you have to say Yu Hao cheated? He's only a Soul Grandmaster. How could he possibly do something like that?"

Wang Dong, who shared a deep bond with Huo Yuhao, could not help saying angrily at this moment.

She had even carelessly revealed the cultivation level they had kept secret all along.

Once his Soul Grandmaster cultivation level was revealed, some of the spectators present felt that it was impossible.

After all, this Protective Barrier was supported by more than a hundred Soul Kings. How could a mere Soul Grandmaster possibly penetrate it?

Of course, even more people wanted to see the results of the examination.

"Whether it's true or not, an examination will tell us."

"Otherwise, when we compete with Shrek later, if we suffer some inexplicable injury on the Competition Stage, there'll be no way to explain it." Elder Ma continued to fan the flames from the side.

Jiang Yi looked at Huo Yuhao, and his meaning was equally clear: he had to be examined.

In Shrek Academy's Rest Area, Wang Yan, as the Team Leader, was already furious.

Even if Shrek Academy lost, they would never cheat.

"Yu Hao, don't worry. Teacher will never let you suffer such an unjust accusation for nothing."

Wang Yan first comforted Huo Yuhao, then was about to have the referee conduct an examination.

But at this moment, Bei Bei walked to his side and patted his hand.

Then he gave Huo Yuhao a discreet glance.

Wang Yan's body jolted, and his pupils suddenly widened.

Bei Bei's meaning was obvious. Huo Yuhao had really cheated!

In an instant, Wang Yan could no longer speak the words he had just prepared.

Because if Huo Yuhao had truly cheated, wouldn't an examination expose him immediately?

Wang Yan was caught in a dilemma and could not say a word.

"You've been silent for so long. Are you afraid of being examined?" Jiang Yi asked mockingly.

"Yu Hao, Yu Hao, why did you do such a thing?"

"Was Shrek Academy really going to bear the stigma of cheating?"

Gazing at the burning looks of those around him, Wang Yan could not help sighing inwardly.

"No, there's still a chance!" The immense psychological pressure gave Wang Yan a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a way to break the deadlock.

"Send someone to examine him!" Wang Yan let out A Loud Shout, his eye sockets red.

Bei Bei was immediately alarmed. What was Wang Yan doing?

Was he really going to let them examine Huo Yuhao?

At This Moment, Huo Yuhao did not know what to do either.

He had asked everyone in his Spirit Sea, but even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no way to immediately restore his Spiritual Power.

Upon hearing this, the referee rose directly into the air and flew to Shrek's Rest Area.

Walking up to Huo Yuhao, the referee said, "Excuse me."

Then he placed his hand directly on Huo Yuhao's head and sensed his mental condition.

Huo Yuhao could only close his eyes in despair. He had brought shame upon Shrek.

Then the referee withdrew his hand with a solemn expression.

"His Spiritual Power has been severely depleted."

The referee's conclusion reached everyone's ears.

The spectators in the arena stared with Wide Open Eyes in disbelief. The world-famous Shrek Academy had actually done such a thing.

In Shrek's Rest Area, the Others who had believed in Huo Yuhao all stared with Wide Open Eyes in disbelief.

"Yu Hao, what exactly is going on?" Wang Dong asked incredulously.

A bitter smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. He had no idea how to answer.

"Everyone present, please wait. Things are not as you imagine." Wang Yan stepped forward and shouted.

This Loud Shout drew most people's attention.

"Yu Hao's Spiritual Power has indeed been excessively depleted, but it was not because he cheated. It was because of what happened to us on the way here to compete."

"On our way here, we went to eliminate a group of Evil Soul Masters. But because the Evil Soul Masters were full of tricks—"

"They set an ambush at the mission site. In the end, Shrek Academy's Main Team Members suffered heavy casualties, and even some reserve members were seriously injured."

"That was why we had sent such a young team to compete. Yu Hao's Spiritual Power was so severely depleted because of what happened then."

"They ended up like this only because they sought to eradicate the Evil Soul Masters!"

Wang Yan explained through tears and sobs.

And sure enough, once he put it that way, the expressions of the spectators by the arena changed at once, shifting from suspicion to sympathy and admiration.

The people in Shrek's Rest Area, however, had flickering eyes at this moment. They knew best whether Huo Yuhao had been injured.

Playing the victim, are you? Seeing Wang Yan's hypocritical act, Jiang Yi felt only disgust.

Shrek Academy's elimination of Evil Soul Masters was indeed worthy of respect and praise, but that did not mean they could cheat because of it.

And then lie through their teeth about it.

Jiang Yi asked calmly, "Is this your reason for cheating?"

Wang Yan's expression stiffened. He Was About To continue playing the victim and muddle through the matter.

"How are you going to prove Huo Yuhao was injured long ago?"

"It's true that I bled from all seven orifices on the Arena. Everyone saw it. But Huo Yuhao having been injured long ago is merely your one-sided claim."

"And judging by how he simulated a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring earlier, he didn't look injured at all, did he?"

"Don't tell me he was injured again within these three days?"

Jiang Yi's barrage of questions left Wang Yan at a loss for how to refute him.

The spectators were influenced once more and again became suspicious of Shrek.

Everyone had seen Jiang Yi suddenly get injured, while Huo Yuhao had indeed been lively and energetic earlier, showing no sign of injury whatsoever.

Then what Wang Yan had said just now simply did not add up!
