"Ladies! Gentlemen!"
"Welcome to the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!"
"Having passed through countless trials, our final two teams now stand upon the battlefield of the championship!"
"Let us welcome our two finalist teams with the loudest cheers!"
"They will determine the final champion here!"
"First! Please welcome Spirit Academy's Spirit Team!"
"First to take the stage is Spirit Academy's captain! Level 69 Soul Emperor—Qian Renxue!"
The host delivered his introduction with boundless enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, below the stage...
"Pfft!"
[Xue Qinghe] sprayed a mouthful of tea all over Ning Fengzhi's face. She stood up in a daze, staring fixedly at the aloof girl in a golden palace gown on the stage.
[Bibi Dong] had an affair?
No... did Grandpa suddenly find love in his old age?!
[Xue Qinghe] felt incredibly conflicted. For a moment, she had no idea how to face the girl who had stolen her name.
"Please welcome the ten-year-old Soul Grandmaster sisters, Ye Suyi and Ye Guyi!"
"Obviously, I'm the older sister..."
Ye Guyi curled her lips, somewhat displeased that the host had put her name second.
"Perhaps because your soul power level is lower?"
Ye Suyi said casually.
"Presenting the six-year-old genius Soul Elder! Fu Xi!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
In Shrek Academy's waiting area, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened as he shot straight up from his seat!
A six-year-old Soul Grandmaster was practically pissing on his, Yu Xiaogang's, face!
"Little San, do any of your immortal herbs allow someone to awaken directly at level 30?"
Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San with bloodshot eyes, panting heavily.
(This was a quest instance and did not follow the timeline of Douluo One, so Tang San had immortal herbs here.)
"Absolutely not."
Tang San stared gravely at that unprecedented Spirit Team onstage: Qian Renxue, nearly a Soul Sage, and the strange Soul Grandmaster Fu Xi...
At this moment, everyone had even overlooked Ye Lingling, who had the same name and appearance as the [Ye Lingling] in the audience!
All their previous intelligence seemed to have been wrong!
(Under the quest rules, there was no need to follow the tournament rules, so don't dwell on the matter of registering in advance.)
"I understand!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang forced himself to calm down.
"Perhaps Spirit Hall fears us and is using a diversionary tactic!"
Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin and spoke slowly.
"But, Master, if the host announced their ages, then they shouldn't be wrong, right?"
Xiao Wu looked at Yu Xiaogang suspiciously.
"Hmph, an organization as large as Spirit Hall having a few irregularities is perfectly normal!"
"Indeed, precisely because they are so powerful, they do not want to lose to a commoner academy like ours."
Yu Xiaogang spoke confidently. The more he spoke, the more he nearly believed it himself!
"Therefore, their ages must have been falsified!"
"Perhaps that Qian Renxue onstage is already over twenty-five!"
"Otherwise, why didn't they announce Qian Renxue's age?"
A flicker of anger passed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes. The Soul Master Tournament's age limit was twenty-five!
He refused to believe that anyone could break through to a level near Soul Sage before turning twenty-five!
Therefore!
It had to be that damned bitch [Bibi Dong] taking revenge on him!
Yes! That was it!
"Hold it! I want to report this!"
Overcome with rage, Yu Xiaogang stood up and shouted!
"Seriously, bro?"
Flander stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang. Whether his guess was right or not aside, was he really going to report Spirit Team in Spirit Hall?
"This is my Xiaogang..."
Liu Erlong gazed at Yu Xiaogang with infatuation, proud of his courage!
"Yu Xiaogang?"
[Bibi Dong] looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise as he suddenly spoke up, unsure what he was trying to do this time.
"Your Holiness the Pope, I wish to report this! Spirit Team's captain has falsified her age. She must be older than the stipulated age of twenty-five!"
As everyone in the hall turned to look at him, a sense of pride welled up within Yu Xiaogang!
"Do you have evidence?"
[Bibi Dong]'s expression darkened. Had she given Yu Xiaogang too much face? Did he know what he was doing?
"Evidence? Aren't my words themselves evidence?"
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and swept his sleeve with arrogant composure!
"Sister Ye Suyi, is this man an idiot?"
Before [Bibi Dong] could speak, a crisp voice suddenly echoed through the hall.
"Hehe~ Shh~ Little Fu Xi is a good child. You can't use swear words. Also, from now on, just call me Sister Suyi. You don't need to include my surname."
Ye Suyi smiled. Fu Xi really was something else!
"Hehehe~ Fu Xi, listen to me. Adult life is complicated. You see, when you realize someone is an idiot, you can't just say it outright. Otherwise, you'll hurt their feelings."
Ye Guyi laughed as she chimed in.
"Oh... I was unhappy too when Uncle Bear Lord called me that."
Fu Xi nodded as though he understood.
"I recorded it. I'll send it to Bibi Dong later."
Ye Lingling remained as devilish as ever.
"You fame-seeking fraud, how do you intend to inspect my age?"
Qian Renxue's smile faded as she looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang.
"Hmph, who knows whether your Spirit Hall would..."
"[Bibi Dong], your judgment is as sharp as ever."
Qian Renxue looked coldly at [Bibi Dong]. Her meaning was simple: were you just going to stand there and watch?
"Enough!"
"Yu Xiaogang, may I interpret this as you questioning Spirit Hall's fairness?"
"May I take this as you bringing an accusation against Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong's face turned icy as her cold eyes fixed on the still-defiant Yu Xiaogang!
"Honestly, I used to think being anti-Yu Xiaogang was just political correctness. Now I see that the senior transmigrators truly did not deceive me!"
"Xue, be more ruthless later. Even if this is only a quest, it will be worth it if we can make Yu Xiaogang feel fear and regret for even a moment."
Ye Suyi looked at that pretentious moron with disgust and spoke softly to Qian Renxue.
"I won't hold back. Also, don't call me Xue."
Qian Renxue nodded, then rolled her eyes at Ye Suyi.
"No! I do not believe Spirit Hall would do something so contrary to justice. Perhaps... certain people have been deceived by petty villains."
"I propose that Sword Douluo test Qian Renxue's bone age!"
Yu Xiaogang did not care in the slightest about Fu Xi's insult. After all, the more his enemies cursed him, the more it proved he was right!
A calculating smile hung on Yu Xiaogang's lips.
Clearly, Ning Fengzhi was undoubtedly on his side!
In that case, Ning Fengzhi certainly would not allow Sword Douluo to cover for Qian Renxue!
"Then, Sword Douluo, what do you think?"
Bibi Dong looked deeply toward Chen Xin behind Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master, her surname is Qian."
Chen Xin's voice reached Ning Fengzhi's ear at just the right moment.
"It does not matter. Since Master has said so, he must have some evidence."
Ning Fengzhi gently waved his feather fan and nodded at Yu Xiaogang.
