Chapter 435 Blatantly Lying, All Stand by Luo Yu_1

Luo Yu, bored out of his mind, sat idly on the fighting stage.

Feng Xiaotian lay miserably on the ground in the distance, having fainted away.

The spectators' seats were eerily silent, the audience still not recovered from the shock.

The recent battle had brought them too many surprises.

No one had expected that one of the hot favorites to win the championship, the Five Elements Academy's strongest genius with Innate full soul power, Feng Xiaotian, would be defeated.

Defeated by someone who was previously considered to be just an actor.

And it was a defeat without any suspense.

The audience wasn't blind; they could all see the terror that was Luo Yu.

He didn't even have to summon his Martial Soul during the fight, using just one finger to block his opponent's self-created strongest killing move—it was frightening.

The middle-aged man who had been grandly analyzing how Luo Yu was just an actor from the spectator seats—

At this moment, his face turned red, wishing he could burrow into a hole in the ground, utterly humiliated.

He stood up from his seat, hunched over, and tried to sneak away tiptoeingly, unable to face the embarrassment.

But soon, pairs of eyes turned his way in unison.

"Tsk, isn't that our prophet from just now? Why is he in such a rush to leave before the match is over?"

The middle-aged man shivered and slowly turned back, forcing a stiff smile:

"Cough cough, my good fellow, you've mistaken me for someone else, I had something this morning and just arrived this afternoon."

"Mistaken you for someone else?" The other man raised an eyebrow.

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he nodded vigorously.

"Right, you must have mistaken me, I have a twin brother, he's the one who came in the morning."

People around laughed.

"Others invent imaginary friends, and you're inventing an imaginary brother?"

Suddenly, a Great Han, agitated, rushed over and grabbed the collar of the middle-aged man.

"Damn it, you owe me thirty golden soul coins."

"Just because I believed your bullshit, I bet on Feng Xiaotian to win this round, and now I've lost my pants."

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched.

"Big brother, you've mistaken me, I have a bro—"

The Great Han slapped him across the face, bellowing:

"I curse your mother's pa-la-tsi."

The altercation between the two didn't even reach a resolution before they were escorted away by the surrounding enforcement knights.

From that moment on, when the audience looked at Luo Yu again, there was no longer any of the previous contempt in their eyes.

Instead, there was immense wariness and respect.

Many people whispered among themselves about what Luo Yu's true strength would be like if he released his Martial Soul.

Luo Yu was being pushed by Shui Yue'er, and he was about to reach the stage's edge.

The instructor from Divine Wind College, holding a gold brick stained with blood, charged up.

"Referee, I lodge a complaint!"

Luo Yu and the Heavenly Water Girl Group stopped in place and glanced sideways at the commotion.

"What are you complaining about?" asked the referee.

"I accuse the Tianshui Battle Team of breaking the rules."

The Divine Wind College's instructor said furiously, "The tournament explicitly forbids the use of foreign objects."

"And the opposing side clearly cheated."

"I demand that the Tianshui Battle Team's qualification be revoked, and that Divine Wind College be declared the victors."

As he spoke, the instructor held up the gold brick, protesting.

The referee frowned.

"Instructor, do you think, with or without the thing in your hand, it would have affected the outcome of your team losing the match?"

"Rules are rules!" The instructor from Divine Wind College had an unconvinced look on his face, "According to the competition rules, the Tianshui Battle Team must be disqualified."

The expressions on the audience's faces shifted to something quite spectacular.

"Hiss—"

"Good grief, isn't this a bit shameless?"

"How much pig's rear end do you have to eat to be able to patch up such a thick face?"

"No offense, but does your team even deserve to win with your strength?"

None of the spectators supported the team instructor; after all, what Luo Yu used was not some kind of hidden weapon, but just an ordinary gold brick.

It wasn't the brick that gave him the victory, so naturally, no one minded.

The six members of the Divine Wind College, with bruised faces, were just getting Feng Xiaotian onto a stretcher when they saw their instructor's action, and they too felt humiliated.

They were defeated by Tianshui Academy; they admitted defeat both willingly and openly.

The strength of the opposition was such that they deserved to win.

Seeing that neither the referee nor the audience sided with him, the instructor from Divine Wind College turned his gaze towards the VIP seats high above.

He knelt on one knee.

"Esteemed Snow Night Emperor, Sect Master Ning, please uphold justice for us!"

The entire venue instantly fell silent, eager to see how the two high-ranking officials would resolve the matter.

Internally, the Snow Night Emperor was praising King Luo Tian, considering when to send Xue Ke to Luo Yu, along with some other treasures to solidify their relationship.

He had to firmly bind the Tiandou Empire to Luo Yu's invincible war chariot.

But the shouts from below abruptly interrupted his train of thought.

Which displeased him greatly.

The imperious gaze of the Snow Night Emperor swept over the crowd below, causing the instructor from Divine Wind College to shiver.

"What justice do you seek?"

"Luo Yu of the Tianshui Battle Team has broken the rules. I implore Your Majesty to sanction him and revoke his qualification for the competition."

Upon hearing the instructor's accusation from below, the Snow Night Emperor frowned, his expression growing even colder.

A glimmer of excitement flashed through the instructor as he noticed the Snow Night Emperor's expression, feeling a surge of exhilaration within him.

The Snow Night Emperor is angry, he thought, feeling justified.

The Emperor must share my distaste for those who break the rules.

He had his own plans; if this round was deemed a victory for Divine Wind College, they would be certain to advance to the finals.

Leading the team to the finals would mean a multiple return in training resources upon returning to the academy.

"How dare you!"

"I have watched the entire competition from here and have not witnessed anyone breaking the rules. Your audacity to spout nonsense here is a crime in itself."

"Are you considering my eyesight to be mere decoration?"

The instructor felt as if struck by lightning, having not anticipated that it would be him who the Emperor scolded.

"This... this..."

Under the oppressive might of the Snow Night Emperor, he fell to his knees with a thump.

"I earnestly request Your Majesty to look into this."

I'll look into nothing.

The Snow Night Emperor cursed internally, wishing this man dead.

If it were not for the need to maintain imperial dignity in public, he would have already cursed out loud.

Just as he was pondering how to win favor with Luo Yu, this fool came out to make a mess of things. How could he not be angry?

Occupying a high position meant being astute, and he saw through the instructor from Divine Wind College's scheme at a glance. Was this not deliberately trying to disgust him?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, allow me to speak a fair word," said Ning Fengzhi, with an elegant smile, rising to his feet.

In that instant, the fearful instructor from Divine Wind College seemed to see a lifeline, showing his excitement.

Looking at Ning Fengzhi as if he were a savior.

Ning Fengzhi said, "You claim that the other side has violated the rules, but do you have evidence?"

"I do, I do!! This is the evidence," the instructor called out, shaking a Gold Brick in his hand.

"Present it here, let me take a closer look."

"Certainly!"

The instructor hastily rose to his feet, presenting the Gold Brick.

Watching Ning Fengzhi examine the Gold Brick, his heart swelled with excited anticipation.

It didn't matter that the Snow Night Emperor hadn't backed him; wasn't there still Sect Master Ning?

Victory seemed within reach.

However, Ning Fengzhi asked once more, "Do you have evidence that the other party has violated the rules?"

The instructor was confused; why repeat the question?

"Yes, isn't this what you have in your hands?"

"I don't have anything in my hands?" Ning Fengzhi said, feigning confusion.

The instructor was initially baffled, failing to understand the situation.

Wasn't this outright lying with open eyes?

Then he watched as the Gold Brick in Ning Fengzhi's hand disappeared in a flash, gone without a trace.

Ning Fengzhi swept his gaze across the audience.

"Do I, or do I not have anything in my hands?"
