Chapter 44 I Am Your Grandfather_1

"Sky Spirit Team... actually admitted defeat?"

On the field, faces of Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and the others were filled with confusion and disbelief.

Especially at the back of the team, He Caitou and Xiao Xiao's expressions were even more exaggerated.

Wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces screamed cluelessness.

The direction this battle took was truly bizarre.

The two hadn't even made a move yet, and the battle was somehow over.

Not to mention, Cai Tou hadn't even lit his cigar...

"Referee, did we win?"

Beibei tentatively asked the referee.

"It seems so..."

The referee had never encountered such a situation before.

The worst teams are at least at the level of Soul Ancestor, and they were so easily defeated by a team whose average strength is that of Soul Elder level?

Can you believe it?

"Referee, it's like this, we really have conceded."

"You see, my teammates truly have no energy left to fight."

At this point, a girl from the Sky Spirit Academy spoke up crisply.

After listening to the young girl's words, the referee finally came back to his senses.

"Ahem."

"Very well, I now declare Shrek Academy's team the winner."

The referee announced loudly.

However.

The audience below didn't cheer for Shrek; there wasn't even a clap.

This was very rare, extremely rare.

"Holy shit, I've been watching for so long, what did I see?"

"The fight between Shrek and Sky Spirit Team was simply an eyesore."

Next to Qin Xiao, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but cover his eyes.

"Bro, you're being too modest, can this level even be called a match? I could put two crickets in the ring and it would be more exciting than this."

Meng Hongchen's pretty face was full of contempt.

Seeing the siblings go back and forth, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

"This indeed cannot be called a match..."

At this time, Elder Ma at the front of the team spoke up gravely, "Calling it a match insults the word 'match.' This is straight-up a performance.

I never thought Shrek would do such a thing.

I used to respect them as a powerful adversary.

But now, I think they have no shame at all. Are they boasting their strength, showing they can ignore the agreement of the four great empires?

Are they flaunting that Shrek stands above everyone else?"

Elder Ma grew more and more agitated as he spoke.

And at this time.

The public were also coming to their senses.

Something was off.

Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this match.

"Holy shit, if I'm not mistaken, they're rigging the match, right?"

"Disgusting, do they think we're fools, or are they treating us like fools?"

"Damn it, I've really seen it all today. The number one Soul Master Academy in Soul Land actually resorting to a rigged match?"

"Your Majesty, esteemed lords, your eyes should be clear, I beg you to harshly punish these rule-breakers!"

"Harshly punish the violators?!"

"We can't let those who ignore the rules get away with it!"

The public erupted with righteous indignation.

They couldn't care less about who was standing in front of them at that moment.

If you make us upset, then we're going to lash out.

Even the referee was getting a bit flustered.

With his experience, how could he not see there was a problem?

But...

He subconsciously looked up to the towering figure on the city wall.

The Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei was also looking at the referee at this time.

They locked eyes.

And a silent exchange unfolded.

The referee saw a determined look in Xu Jiawei's eyes.

The answer was clear.

And beyond doubt.

"Please, everyone, calm down a bit!"

The referee's voice boomed through the soul tool, the technicians at the back had turned up the volume to the maximum, instantly drowning out everyone else's voices.

Seeing this, the people fell silent.

They wanted to see what the referee would say, whether he would change his previous decision.

"Thank you all for your eager suggestions."

"We will take them seriously and deal with them actively."

"I also assure everyone here, the match will definitely be fair and just. We take a stern view towards anyone who tries to cheat."

"Please rest assured, regarding any cheating, we will begin an investigation at once."

"Once discovered, strict punishment is necessary to give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

The referee spoke in a very official manner.

He thought this approach would pacify the public.

"So what about the people on the stage right now?"

"We're not blind; is there even a need for an investigation?"

"Just pass the judgment now. Declare that Shrek and Sky Spirit Academy have fixed the match and revoke their qualifications for the match."

"Revoking their qualifications is too light, isn't it? I think they should also be banned from participating in the next Soul Master competition!"

"Yes, they must be severely punished!"

The public was relentless.

After all, this was the number one Soul Master Academy in the entire continent.

They must not be forgiven.

"This..."

The referee was stunned again.

He felt that his previous speech had been on point.

Yet the people's opinions and attitudes were so strong.

He looked at the emperor Xu Jiawei again.

Different from before, Xu Jiawei's face was also covered with frost.

His bushy eyebrows were almost frowning together, nearly forming a single line.

But still.

The message he conveyed to the referee remained unflinchingly firm.

Sigh.

The referee understood.

That was to protect at all costs.

No matter how strong the public opinion, no matter the insults, they were to maintain the original result.

"Order!"

The referee's voice spread throughout the venue again.

But this time, he didn't give the public a chance to speak.

"I guarantee with my personal integrity, there was no misjudgment in this match."

"The Shrek Academy team members won the final victory through their own strength, after a tough struggle."
