He, the leader of Zhongli Wu, Holy Spirit Cult, the leader of the largest Evil Soul Master organization in the continent, is sitting on a high platform at the moment, being asked whether Lu Yuan is Evil Soul Master.
This world is really getting more and more interesting.
Zhongli Wu said slowly, "Your Highness, I feel that this teacher Shrek Academy is a little confused."
Xu Tianran and other senior executives around Sun Moon couldn't help laughing.
You know, Holy Spirit Cult also sent a team to participate, called Holy Spirit Sect.
Xu Tianran knows about this matter, and all the senior officials of the Sun Moon Empire know about it.
If according to Wang Yan, Abyss Cult's qualifications are revoked on the grounds of Evil Soul Master, then should Holy Spirit Sect's team be revoked as well?
If Organizing Committee really does this, Xu Tianran will do it first, let alone whether Holy Spirit Cult will do it to them.
Xu Tianran has reached a cooperation with Holy Spirit Cult for future plans. If they offend Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Tianran's character will never let them go.
So no one dared to respond to Wang Yan's words, and the same was true for Jing Hongchen, who only watched the show with interest.
Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi next to him and gave her a look.
Ju Zi understood, stood up and came to the loudspeaker.
"Shrek Academy said that Lu Yuan is Evil Soul Master. Is there any evidence?"
Wang Yan said quickly, "Your Highness the Princess Regent, Shrek Academy has officially issued a wanted order to arrest Lu Yuan across the continent. Everyone knows about this! It is clearly written on the wanted order!"
Zhongli Wu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Wanted order? What is a wanted order?"
"It's just a piece of paper."
"The wanted poster says he is Evil Soul Master, does he have to be Evil Soul Master?"
"Can I also issue a wanted notice saying that Shrek Academy's teacher is Evil Soul Master? Will that disqualify Shrek Academy from the competition?"
Wang Yan's expression changed.
"Can this be the same..."
"What's the difference?"
Xu Tianran interrupted him coldly.
"A wanted warrant is not equal to evidence. To convict a person, proof is needed."
"I remember that your Shrek Academy guy, Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, also has devouring attributes in his Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul, which makes him quite domineering. According to your logic, should Xuan Zi also be wanted?"
"It is said that he is also an undercover agent of a certain Evil Soul Master organization? Why don't you Shrek Academy investigate it carefully?"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Xu Tianran raised his hand, suppressed the laughter on the field, and continued.
"A few years ago, Light Phoenix, the director of your hospital, Yan Shaozhe, had black and purple feathers on his tail. The whole continent knows about this, but Shrek himself hasn't explained it clearly yet. How come he doesn't care about others whether Evil Soul Master is here?"
The auditorium was completely blown away.
"His Royal Highness the Regent, these words are cruel! Just poke Shrek's lung tube!"
"I heard that Yan Shaozhe and Black Phoenix made a big fuss at that time, but Shrek still hasn't given an explanation!"
"You haven't wiped your own butt, why are you reporting on others?"
Wang Yan's face turned from livid to pale.
He did not expect that Xu Tianran would mention Yan Shaozhe in public.
Although that incident was suppressed by Shrek, there are still rumors among the people.
Now being exposed by Xu Tianran in public on a high platform is equivalent to giving Shrek a slap in the face in front of the entire continent.
Bei Bei and several others stood behind Wang Yan, their expressions equally ugly.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and shouted, "Your Highness the Regent, since Lu Yuan is not Evil Soul Master, why doesn't he dare to prove himself?"
"Let him prove in public that he is not Evil Soul Master, won't this stop everyone from talking?"
As soon as these words came out, Shrek everyone's eyes lit up again.
Yes!
Self-evident trap!
No matter how Lu Yuan proves it, as soon as he opens his mouth to explain, he falls into a passive position.
Moreover, this proposition of proving that you are not Evil Soul Master is a trap in itself. The more you describe it, the darker it gets. If you say you are not, but others say you are, how can you prove it?
Bei Bei couldn't help but praise in a low voice, "Yuhao, good job."
Xu Sanshi also clenched his fists and stared in the direction of the high platform, waiting for Xu Tianran to speak.
Huo Yuhao saw that Xu Tianran did not immediately refute, so he added another sentence.
"If Lu Yuan is innocent, why doesn't he even dare to prove himself?"
In the rest area.
Lu Yuan was sitting on a chair, with his legs crossed and his hands on Gu Qiu'er's shoulders. He was watching Shrek's people jumping up and down with interest.
Gu Qiu'er leaned in his arms, crossed his arms, and had a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Look at them, do they look like a group of cats whose tails have been stepped on?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing.
When a person reaches a certain level, he will really look down upon the weaklings.
The more they jump around, the more ridiculous they look.
Huo Yuhao continued to speak, his voice getting louder and louder.
"Lu Yuan! If you have a clear conscience, prove in public that you are not Evil Soul Master! Otherwise, you are not qualified to stand in this arena!"
Lu Yuan has a smile on his face, a bright smile, harmless to humans and animals.
"Huo Yuhao, do you want me to prove myself?"
Huo Yuhao looked up at him and said firmly, "That's right! If you have a clear conscience..."
Lu Yuan interrupted him, "Logically speaking, Soul Master of your level has no right to ask me to do anything."
"But to satisfy your curiosity, I can tell you."
Everyone was stunned.
Even Xu Tianran sat up slightly and looked over with interest.
The self-certification trap is something you can't get rid of once you get involved in it. Why does Lu Yuan take the initiative to jump into it?
Lu Yuan raised his hand and pointed at Huo Yuhao, then at Bei Bei, and then at all of Shrek.
Then he swept his hand around the auditorium and pointed at the dense crowd of Soul Masters in the stands.
"You."
"You."
"And you."
"Of all the Soul Masters present, which one of you has never had Soul Beast's blood on your hands?"
"Soul Master is practicing and wants to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring. Aren't Soul Beast living creatures? Don't they have consciousness? Don't they have pain?"
"In order to become stronger, you hunt them, extract their Soul Ring, peel off their Soul Bone, and sell their corpses in exchange for money and resources."
"Gaining power by killing other living beings, isn't this Evil Soul Master?"
"Aren't all the Soul Masters in the continent all Evil Soul Masters?"
"What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"
This sudden punch silenced the entire audience.
The Soul Master system itself is built on the hunt for Soul Beast.
Every Soul Master, from the day they awaken Martial Soul, is destined to climb up on the bones of Soul Beast.
Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, each one is the life of Soul Beast.
The older the Soul Ring is, the more powerful and rare the hunted Soul Beast is.
Lu Yuan looked at the silent audience and continued.
"What? You stopped talking?"
"Do you think I'm changing my concept?"
"Then let me ask you, if it is natural for a Soul Master to hunt Soul Beast, then why is it a sin for Evil Soul Master to hunt Soul Master? They are all killing, who is nobler than the other?"
"If Soul Beast's life is not considered life, then why do you stand on the moral high ground and accuse others?"
He spread his hands, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Shrek Academy, Ten Thousand Years of Glory, claims to be the number one college in mainland China. Every student you train has the blood of Soul Beast on their hands. How much nobler are you than Evil Soul Master?"
"Speaking of Evil Soul Master, your Shrek is the largest Evil Soul Master training base in the world!"
