Shrek Academy's Reputation Shattered
Everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden announcement over the loudspeaker.
Meanwhile, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi's expressions turned ugly at the same time.
This Red Lotus Douluo is now directly slandering Shrek Academy!
They even used the name of the Sea God Pavilion. So what if you've been to the Sea God Pavilion!
But the Skysea Alliance can't afford to offend Yin Hongye. Stop him? Stop him my ass.
As for reputation.
You should believe everything Yin Hongye says except about repaying the money.
Of course, "going on the road" has two meanings for him...
It depends on your personal understanding.
Upon hearing Yin Hongye's words, Mu Hongchen looked down at the Shrek Academy, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Ten thousand years ago? It seems cheating has a long history."
Yin Hongye spoke calmly, yet every word was piercing, exposing Shrek Academy's true nature without any attempt at concealment.
"Their team, led by Xuan Zi, only had three regular players and seven reserve teammates."
"So arrogant?"
That's how arrogant we are!
Yin Hongye deliberately skipped over a well-known fact: something Wang Yan had said ten thousand years ago, something these people knew perfectly well.
"Ten thousand years ago, in the final of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, during the team battle between the Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Huo Yuhao did not participate. He was Spiritual Detection Sharing throughout the entire match from the audience. This information was then used exclusively on Xu Sanshi, allowing Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement to successfully switch places with Xiao Hongchen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few faint gasps could be heard near the stands.
What did they hear? Ling Bing Douluo's incredible feat, that comeback ten thousand years ago—so that's how it happened?
Using Soul Skill offstage—isn't that cheating?
Mu Hongchen raised an eyebrow slightly and continued, "Isn't this standard cheating? The person doesn't even participate, but the Soul Skill comes out first. I remember his Soul Skill effect is 'seeing the entire area,' right? This is clearly using his eyes from outside the arena."
Yin Hongye nodded slightly, "The rules of the competition are clear: each participant has their own responsibilities, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from interfering with the battle."
"I remember the Xuanming Replacement technique doesn't have a high hit rate, but it's different with Huo Yuhao around."
Mu Hongchen chuckled lightly, his words hitting the nail on the head, filling in the essential violation.
"So, the outcome of that battle was manipulated from the very beginning. The Sun Moon Team fought on stage, competing in tactics, Soul Power, on-the-spot adaptability, and Soul Tool, while Shrek Academy had off-stage support. They really have no shame."
Yin Hongye sneered, "The most ridiculous thing is that for ten thousand years, people have only praised Shrek's comeback against all odds and their miraculous championship victory, but no one has mentioned the off-field tactics behind it. Although Shrek Academy cheated in that team match and still didn't win, it did affect the final result of 2-2-3."
Shrek Academy fans instinctively wanted to retort, but after opening their mouths, they realized that what could they do?
The next moment, he might be accused of being Evil Soul Master.
Their survival instincts convinced them instantly.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen, on the official road leading to Star Luo City, a carriage from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was stopped by the roadside for supplies.
The previously noisy discussion inside the car stopped abruptly the moment they heard what Heavenly Screen said.
They were initially excited about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's crushing defeat of the Shrek Academy, but what happened next made them all lose their smiles.
Xiao Hongchen leaned back in the back seat, the smile on her face gradually fading until it finally formed a cold, straight line.
"Open your eyes from outside the arena." Xiao Hongchen repeated these four words, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked. "What a brilliant Spiritual Detection Sharing. Don't let me run into him on the field; kill him first."
The woman sitting next to him, Meng Hongchen, did not display the same overt anger as her brother. She simply kept her head down, her silver hair swaying slightly, and a fierce Flame burning in her blue eyes.
In the front row of the school bus, Ma Rulong remained silent. As the team captain for this competition, he carried a heavier burden than anyone else. "Shrek Academy."
"So this is how Shrek Academy, revered by millions for millennia, won."
"I wonder if there was anything fishy about the previous matches!"
Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy, in the Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En felt like he'd missed something. Why are there only three regular players? Explain yourself!
What exactly happened in between?!
He desperately wanted to rush into the Heavenly Screen and find out the truth, but unfortunately, Xuan Zi and the others had already set off ahead of time.
It couldn't be stopped.
"Yan Shaozhe, go after Xuan Zi, and don't let him cause any trouble." Mu En made a last-ditch effort.
Huo Yuhao sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the Heavenly Screen. He felt like the sky was falling. He was going to leave for Star Luo City tomorrow, but that guy named Yin Hongye had already revealed what he was going to do in the future.
He hasn't done it yet.
What does it mean to cheat on Xu Tianran, help Shrek Academy cheat outside the competition, abduct a genius researcher from the Sun Moon Academy, and extort half a warehouse of rare metals from Jing Hongchen?
Each and every one of these incidents is enough to warrant him being hunted down ten times over.
His current Soul Power Level is level 22, and he was captured from the Far North by the Shrek Academy.
He wanted to go, but he had absolutely no chance.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to wriggle in his mind, wanting to say something comforting, but after counting Huo Yuhao's enemies on its fingers, it shut its mouth again.
I just hope there aren't any more. It's all Huo Yuhao's fault; he made it harder for him to persuade Ice Empress to join him.
But Yin Hongye knew nothing about Huo Yuhao and had no intention of showing Huo Yuhao any mercy. "This is nothing. Huo Yuhao's cheating in the Second All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, on the Sun Moon Empire's home turf, was even more outrageous. The rules at the time allowed sects to participate as a unit."
Upon hearing this, the entire Heavensea Stadium fell into a deathly silence.
Mu Hongchen's eyes brightened slightly as he leaned back in his seat and slowly replied, his timing perfect and his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Goodness, they can get even bolder now. They weren't caught the first time, so they're getting bolder and bolder."
Yin Hongye spoke calmly and deliberately, her voice carrying throughout the stadium via the loudspeaker. "When the Sun Moon Team plays against the Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao is a member of the Tang Sect team and is not on the roster for this match; he is in the stands."
"Huo Yuhao used Simulation Soul Skill to conceal his aura and, from a distance, completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill [Destiny Dragon's Roar] with Wang Qiu'er on the arena, directly severely injuring his opponent."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in uproar.
The audience was stunned.
Mu Hongchen raised an eyebrow and chuckled, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "This isn't a competition; it's blatant cheating!"
Yin Hongye nodded in agreement, her tone calm yet every word piercing.
"The most insidious thing is this Simulation Soul Skill. It's completely hidden and silent throughout, undetected by the referees and soul guidance devices. Outsiders only think that Wang Qiu'er is incredibly strong and single-handedly crushes her opponent, but little do they know that Huo Yuhao is providing remote assistance behind the scenes."
Mu Hongchen added fuel to the fire, echoing Mu Hongchen's words, "Shrek Academy outwardly relies on its genius players to maintain appearances, but secretly determines wins and losses through off-field Soul Skill. It seems Shrek Academy lost this time because they didn't have time to cheat."
Yin Hongye's tone shifted abruptly, revealing one last bombshell. "And that match between the Tang Sect and the Holy Spirit Cult, not to mention... Huo Yuhao used Simulation Soul Skill to conceal himself, secretly bringing Wang Qiu'er, who wasn't qualified to participate, onto the arena. At the end of the battle, the three of them combined their powers to unleash the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill [Purple-Gold Butterfly Dragon Transformation] to kill the Evil Soul Master Yan Feng."
"Back then, everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult was killed except for the Blue Silver Saintess, whom Bei Bei liked."
"Oh dear," Mu Hongchen laughed helplessly, "Two major competitions, three violations. And personal feelings were involved as well. The undefeated legend of the Shrek Academy, which has been praised by the world for thousands of years, was actually obtained through cheating."
The stands fell completely silent; all the Shrek fans were speechless, utterly lacking the confidence to refute.
In the arena, Wu Changkong's face was ashen, while Shen Yi clenched his fists, his expression extremely grim.
Shrek's reputation, built up over millennia, collapsed in an instant.
But outside the Heavenly Screen, everyone from ten thousand years ago had strange expressions on their faces.
