Tang Ya: A Little Cheating Doesn't Count as Cheating, Right?

[Hey, what's Tang Ya doing? Is she whispering to Huo Yuhao?]

Beside the Soul Arena, Tang Ya was holding Huo Yuhao's arm, leaning close to his ear, and whispering in his ear that she would help Bei Bei cheat during the Soul Fighting later.

The words suddenly popped into her mind, and her body stiffened abruptly, her cheeks instantly flushing red.

Subconsciously, she looked up and scanned the bustling crowd, accurately catching sight of Lin Ye.

The boy kept his eyes down, seemingly indifferent, and simply followed the crowd forward, not even glancing in her direction.

Tang Ya felt that Lin Ye had already seen through her little schemes, leaving her no room to hide them.

She bit her lower lip, released her grip on Huo Yuhao's hand, and subconsciously softened her movements, muttering a sentence to herself.

This guy seems to know everything, yet she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, since it wasn't exactly honorable for her to have Huo Yuhao help her cheat.

However, for Huo Yuhao's sake, and to obtain the Profound Water Pill, cheating was justified.

[Oh, I remember now, this was helping Bei Bei cheat. Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection is indeed a bug-like skill. With Spiritual Detection, it's too easy for Bei Bei to win.]

Unlike Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan didn't think this was just children playing house. Instead, she wanted to see how good these two geniuses, known as the Outer Court Twin Stars, really were.

She was standing in the VIP box of the Soul Arena, watching the students gathering noisily towards the Soul Duel Stage.

The phrase popped into her mind, and she shook her head helplessly.

She knew about Tang Ya and Bei Bei's relationship, and she could guess that given Tang Ya's personality, she would never stand by and watch Bei Bei fight a battle she couldn't win. Asking Huo Yuhao for help was to be expected.

She just hadn't expected that the cheating would be done so openly, with people speaking in hushed tones, so that only two people could hear them.

Any Soul Master with a slightly higher cultivation level could easily hear any sound; their whispered conversation was no less than a loud conspiracy.

Although Tang Ya is the Tang Sect Master and Huo Yuhao is a precocious genius, they are still too young when it comes to guarding against people. They simply cannot imagine that even if they speak in hushed tones, countless people can hear them.

However, to be fair, Huo Yuhao's ability to Spiritual Detection Sharing is indeed almost unbeatable in one-on-one Soul Fighting between people of the same level.

With this skill, Bei Bei essentially had a god's-eye view throughout, and every move Xu Sanshi made and every movement of his Soul Power was under his control.

The outcome of this Soul Fighting was actually decided the moment Tang Ya approached Huo Yuhao.

Of course, being a "little rich" doesn't count as being "rich," so what's wrong with cheating?

Huo Yuhao is the protagonist, so cheating is naturally not a problem for him.

Furthermore, I recall that the original novel provided relatively reasonable explanations for Huo Yuhao's several instances of cheating.

There's no way around it; if a supporting character cheats, then they have to be severely punished.

But the protagonist could easily get away with cheating with any excuse; his subsequent cheating incidents were countless times worse than today's.

The Far North.

Ice Empress had just calmed down, was instantly enraged again upon seeing this sentence and immediately started to complain.

"Look at you, look at you! I told you humans are the most hypocritical people ever! They set the rules, but they never follow them themselves."

They turn a blind eye to things that benefit them, but punish them severely according to the rules when things don't.

They're practically identical to those human Titled Douluo who ventured into the Far North to hunt Soul Beast!

Snow Empress calmed down the agitated Ice Empress, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness. "That's just how the world works. The strong are respected, the weak can only obey the rules, and the strong are the rules themselves."

Huo Yuhao is the so-called protagonist, so naturally no one will investigate his little actions. Even if it's something outrageous, someone will find an excuse for him to smooth over all the consequences.

[I can't envy that; this is probably just the treatment the protagonist gets.]

Upon seeing this sentence, Ju Zi couldn't help but chuckle. She got up, walked to the window, and looked towards the distant Douluo Continent.

The treatment of a protagonist? In her view, the so-called chosen ones, the protagonists of destiny, are nothing more than puppets pushed around by fate.

Having grown up amidst the intrigue and treachery of the Imperial Family, she had long since seen through the ways of the world. She knew that if you wanted something, you could never wait for fate to smile upon you; you had to fight, snatch, and scheme with your own hands.

She envied Lin Ye even more, for having this magical Diary, which allowed him to obtain a treasure coveted by countless people out of thin air, to see through all future trends, and to avoid all risks in advance.

This ability is the true power to defy fate and the real confidence to hold in one's own hands.

A determined glint flashed in her eyes.

One day, she will go to the Douluo Continent in person to meet this boy named Lin Ye.

[However, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi are known as the Outer Court Twin Stars, so their strength is definitely comparable.]

Zhang Lexuan nodded upon seeing this.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi have been compared ever since they entered Shrek Academy. Their talents are equally matched, their cultivation levels are closely tied, and they have Soul Fighting each other in private more than once or twice, with each side winning and losing.

Bei Bei's Martial Soul is a perfect blend of offense and defense, with extremely high explosive power and top-notch control abilities. Her fighting style is steady and methodical, rarely making mistakes.

Xu Sanshi's Dark Nether Turtle Martial Soul possesses top-tier defensive capabilities on the continent, as well as unexpected explosive power. Once it gets close, even Bei Bei would have to avoid its sharp edge.

If the two of them were to fight with all their might and without holding back, it would be really hard to say who would win.

Even without Huo Yuhao helping Bei Bei cheat, I think the final victory would still have gone to Bei Bei.

Xiao Xiao had just squeezed back into the crowd and run to Wang Dong'er's side when she saw the sentence in her mind, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just helped Ning Tian and Wang Dong'er bet a full two thousand Gold Soul Coin on Bei Bei, and she was actually still a little apprehensive.

After all, Xu Sanshi's Dark Nether Turtle defense was simply too abnormal; among Soul Master of the same level, very few could actually break through his defense.

But now, seeing Lin Ye's words, her anxiety completely subsided.

Now, her only worry is whether Tang Ya, after seeing the contents of the Diary Copy, will still ask Huo Yuhao to help her cheat.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't helped cheat, the outcome of this Soul Fighting would truly have been uncertain.

Ning Tian had already squeezed to the very front of the Soul Duel Stage. Looking at Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were standing opposite each other on the stage, this sentence flashed through his mind, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

She bet on Bei Bei to win, not just because of their past record, but also because she already knew from Lin Ye's diary that Huo Yuhao would help cheat.

She, as the young master of a business sect, would never let go of money earned for free.
