The referee had completely recovered from his brief shock. His gaze abruptly turned stern as he looked toward the Shrek Seven Devils Team standing on the field.
Faced with the furious accusations of Auckland Academy Team's lead teacher and the referee's sharp stare, Tang San remained utterly unconcerned. Prepared long ago, he gave a calm smile.
"Respected referee, I only have one question. Are they dead?"
The referee frowned slightly and turned to look at the seven Auckland Academy Team members lying on the ground. Indeed, none of them were dead. They were still breathing, and with prompt treatment, they should survive.
But their injuries were far too severe. Even if they could truly be healed, there was no guarantee they would not suffer lasting effects. Their subsequent matches would likely be affected as well.
Seeing the referee fall into thought, Tang San's eyes flashed. He pointed at the healing-type female support Spirit Master behind him.
"Our support-type Spirit Master's ability is healing. From the very beginning, she activated her Martial Soul and released healing energy throughout the entire field."
"That was not to heal us, but to heal them. If we truly intended to kill anyone, would we have healed our opponents?"
"It seems they do not need our treatment after all. Senior Sister Lin Yi, stop."
Tang San's voice was loud. He deliberately used Soul Power to spread it throughout the venue, ensuring that everyone could hear him.
This was Tang San's sophistry.
He had his own Spirit Masters heal their opponents from the very beginning, then ravage those opponents with thunderous force. That way, even if the referee noticed something, he could not fully determine that they had broken the rules. After all, they had their reasons and evidence and could argue their way out of it.
