Something Wasn't Right

Salas looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked, "Then, Sect Master Ning, how do you think this matter should be handled fairly?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said, "The only fair and just way to handle this is to remove both teams from the competition. But from both sides' perspectives, removing them from the competition would be somewhat inappropriate."

Xue Ye cleared his throat and said, "In that case, how about we give both sides a warning and reinstate the two academies' banned members? If they violate the competition rules again, we'll immediately remove them from this competition. What do you think?"

Salas nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, your method is the best solution given the current situation."

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said, "A mere demerit is too lenient a punishment. If other participating teams violate the Tournament Rules, and we only give them a demerit, what prestige will the competition have left?"

Xue Ye waved his hand gently and said, "It's different. This is a special case. Both sides violated the rules of the competition, so they are tied and each receives a demerit. In a competition, this kind of situation, like theirs, will basically not happen again."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's follow Your Majesty's method. I have no objection."

As Xue Ye said, this situation will basically not happen again. If one side violates the rules of the game, then it is naturally considered to have lost. The other side has no reason to violate the rules as well.

Of course, this excludes cases like Jun Xuehan and Tang San, who want to kill each other.

"Since there are no objections, let Bishop Salas announce it tomorrow." Xue Ye handed the matter over to Bishop Salas and waved for them to leave.

Seeing this, the three greeted Xue Ye and then walked straight out of the main hall.

The next day, early morning.

The Soul Arena was already packed with people. Jun Xuehan stood in front of the rest area, her gaze quietly fixed on the Soul Dueling Stage below.

Zhu Zhuqing, Zong Ming, and the others stood neatly behind Jun Xuehan.

"Captain, we won yesterday. If we win just one more game, we'll advance to the Finals," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"Okay, I understand." Jun Xuehan simply nodded slightly, not caring about the outcome of yesterday's match. Even if they lost yesterday, there was still a Playoffs to compete for the qualification to advance, so it was no big deal.

"I think there are big problems with our teamwork. If we don't improve our teamwork soon, we might be at a disadvantage in the later matches," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Aren't there still matches to come? If you think you can win, then go for it." Jun Xuehan nodded lightly, speaking nonchalantly.

"The academies that advanced yesterday are all very strong, especially the Four Element Academies and the Elephant Armor Academy, which has pure Defense System Soul Master. Among all the participating academies, they are only weaker than our Blazing Gloom Academy and Shrek Academy," Zhu Zhuqing said, pointing to several academies.

"Shrek Academy? With Tang San there, they still have a chance to advance to the Finals. Without Tang San, they won't even make it to the Finals." Jun Xuehan chuckled. He was very clear about Tang San's injuries.

Even if Tang San had the Nine-Hearted Begonia to treat him, given the state of his martial soul and shattered soul bones, he would need to lie in bed for ten days to half a month, and it would be good if he could recover.

"Tang San's injuries seem to have healed. We saw him yesterday when we left the Soul Arena. Although Tang San looked a little weak, he seemed to be mostly recovered," Tang San Zhu Zhuqing said slowly.

"Tang San's injuries have healed? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Jun Xuehan turned her head in surprise and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

In such a short time, Tang San's injuries had already healed. Putting aside everything else, the backlash from the shattered Martial Soul was already a serious injury, and it would take a considerable amount of time to fully recover. Not to mention the other injuries, such as the broken Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone and the piercing of his chest.

"I used to be at the Shrek Academy, so I know what Tang San looks like. How could I be wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, speaking with certainty.

"Tang San's injuries have healed?" Jun Xuehan's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the Shrek Academy, her silver eyes narrowing slightly.

"Did Little Tang San eat some kind of elixir or some rare treasure? How could his injuries recover in such a short time?" Jun Xuehan murmured, her eyes full of thought, unable to understand the question.

Even if you gave the Little Tang San miraculous Immortal Grass that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, he would still have to be able to pick it.

"Did Ye Lingling intervene and heal Tang San's external injuries? The injuries from his shattered Martial Soul and broken Soul Bone haven't fully healed, which is why Tang San looks somewhat weak," Jun Xuehan asked softly.

Given the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng, it's not impossible for them to ask Yu Tianheng for help and have Ye Lingling heal Tang San's injuries.

"It shouldn't be. The Support System Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team collapsed after her battle with us, having exhausted her Soul Power. Even if her Soul Power recovers quickly, it's impossible for her to recover in such a short time and heal Tang San's injuries." Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head, denying Jun Xuehan's statement.

"Yes, I understand." Jun Xuehan slowly withdrew her gaze from the direction of the Shrek Academy.

Although Jun Xuehan didn't know exactly how Little Tang San's injuries had healed, he knew that it was definitely not normal for Little Tang San's injuries to heal in such a short time.

In the rest area of the Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the person in front of him and slowly said, "We only need to win two more matches to advance to the Finals. Once we advance, when we encounter Blazing Gloom Academy, we should prioritize conserving our strength and not fight them; we should simply forfeit."

Just as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, a slightly weak voice rang out from below. "Teacher, I think we can fight, and it's hard to say who will win."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head and said, "Little San, you should take advantage of your suspension to focus on recovering from your injury. It's not a good choice to confront Blazing Gloom Academy -on for now."

Flender nodded in agreement and said, "Xiao Gang is right. It's enough that we made it to the Finals. We don't need to go head-to-head with the Blazing Gloom Academy."

"I'm not trying to discourage you, but you really can't beat Blazing Gloom Academy. Even though you're both suspended, Blazing Gloom Academy still has a crushing advantage. If neither of you were suspended, there would be no chance of a fight."
