"Er..."
The referee was about to announce the results when he saw Qian Renxuan walk off the stage, seemingly unconcerned. He was also shocked by this sudden, strange move.
She didn't even want the advancement; it was truly just to fight the Shrek Seven Devils.
But at this moment, only the Shrek Seven Devils were on the stage. Helplessly, the referee announced, "Let us...er..."
It was embarrassing to say congratulations on the victory. In the end, the referee could only say, "Thunder Academy wins."
After saying that, he prepared to leave the Soul Arena. The surrounding audience booed. A team winning by default was truly a first in all the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
It was too embarrassing, as if others didn't want it and just gave it to the Shrek Seven Devils.
The Shrek Seven Devils' faces were now grim, and the gruesome black wounds on their bodies were constantly draining their life force.
Dai Mubai was kneeling on the spot. Just now, because of the loss of life force, his cultivation had successfully dropped to level forty-nine. His fifth soul ring had begun to dissipate, and though it was still there, he couldn't use it.
Once a soul ring no longer contained the original stored soul power, it would dissipate, and his drop in level would be exposed.
The others weren't much better off. Yu Tianheng was the worst; his cultivation had dropped by two levels, putting him dangerously close to level fifty.
It probably wouldn't be long before he, too, fell out of the Soul King realm, which would leave the already arrogant Yu Tianheng extremely unbalanced.
"It's not over! I'm reporting this! This person is an Evil Soul Master!"
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Dai Mubai stood up, his expression frantic. The sudden drop in his cultivation level, falling out of the Soul King realm, had caused him to lose his mind.
He pointed a finger at Qian Renxuan, who had just left the stage, and accused her in a harsh voice.
Evil Soul Masters, also known as fallen Soul Masters, are detested by everyone on the Douluo Continent. Dai Mubai's sudden accusation that Qian Renxuan was an Evil Soul Master immediately drew the attention of the surrounding audience.
They cast scrutinizing glances at Qian Renxuan, who was making her exit below, their eyes filled with contemplation. If Qian Renxuan was truly an Evil Soul Master, she would undoubtedly meet her end today.
The audience on the platform was also in an uproar. Qian Xunfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression remained composed, but the slight furrow of his brow betrayed his current displeasure.
As for Flender, who had been observing for a while, Yu Xiaogang had pulled him over.
Together with Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji, the three of them blocked Qian Renxuan's escape route, creating a tense situation. Qian Renxuan's expression was displeased.
"Get out of my way. Whether I am an Evil Soul Master or not will be determined by others. The ones presiding over the competition are none other than the sect masters of the Three Upper Sects, as well as the esteemed Pope. If I were an Evil Soul Master, would they not be able to tell?"
Qian Renxuan said, somewhat speechless. Just as she was about to leave, Yu Xiaogang stopped her.
"You cannot leave yet. Until it's been clarified, you are an Evil Soul Master!"
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang, without asking any questions, wanted Flender and the other three Soul Sages to capture Qian Renxuan.
As a result, before the three of them could even make a move, they were instantly pressed to the ground by a wave of soul pressure, unable to move.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the sudden change, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He was about to raise his head to confront the person when he saw Qian Xunfeng's cold gaze.
Just his gaze alone made Yu Xiaogang's legs go weak, and he stood there in a daze, not daring to mention Qian Renxuan's matter anymore.
However, Ning Fengzhi from the VIP seats suddenly spoke, his tone questioning, but also peaceful, "Your Majesty the Pope's actions are somewhat inappropriate. Whether that little girl is an Evil Soul Master has not been determined yet, how can you just let her go?"
"If this is the case, can the Spirit Hall really protect the safety of the world's Soul Masters?"
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi leisurely sipped his tea, and that sentence unknowingly damaged the Spirit Hall's credibility.
However, Qian Xunfeng casually glanced at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning, your cultivation is too low, so naturally you can't see it. If you could become a Super Douluo above level ninety-five, you could see it at a glance."
As Qian Xunfeng's voice fell, Ning Fengzhi's expression became somewhat unsightly. Everyone knew that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's potential was limited.
"You, the Pope, really know how to rub salt in the wound, don't you? Isn't this just subtly implying that Ning Fengzhi has poor judgment and couldn't see through it?"
"Hehe, even so, we still need to confirm it. After all, it concerns Evil Soul Masters, and we can't be too careless."
Ning Fengzhi forced a smile, but he didn't back down.
"Haha, Sect Master Ning is truly looking out for the Soul Master world. Evil Soul Masters certainly deserve to die. However, Sect Master Ning, you should be careful. I heard that not long ago, all the healing Soul Masters in your sect died overnight. It should have been the work of Evil Soul Masters."
Qian Xunfeng said without changing his expression, and Ning Fengzhi's hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled slightly after hearing this.
However, Huyan Zhen from the Elephant Armor Sect suddenly spoke, "I say, Ning Fengzhi, you're just a kid who got a bit of luck and just broke through to Soul Douluo. Do you even understand anything?"
"Evil Soul Masters all have a wisp of blood energy that leaks out from their bodies, but that girl doesn't have any blood energy leaking out."
Then, he changed the subject and suddenly looked at Tang San on the stage, saying, "But I see that this guy named Tang San has some blood energy on him. We should capture him and interrogate him thoroughly."
As a loyal subject of the Spirit Hall, Huyan Zhen naturally knew Qian Renxuan's identity. She was the Pope's daughter. If he looked after her, he would be scoring big points with the Pope, and he wouldn't lack for benefits.
"Huyan Zhen, don't speak nonsense. Whether or not someone is an Evil Soul Master isn't something you can just declare."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have had a secret exposed, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
Looking at Huyan Zhen, his expression was also displeased. He was just a running dog of the Spirit Hall. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's help, the Elephant Armor Sect wouldn't be worthy of being alongside them as one of the Three Upper Sects.
However, Huyan Zhen, seeing that Ning Fengzhi had nothing more to say, seized the opportunity.
"Ning Fengzhi, you said yourself that we shouldn't listen to one-sided words. Why did you believe that kid the moment he spoke? Aren't you intentionally targeting them?"
Being refuted repeatedly, Ning Fengzhi's face became a little unsightly. He turned his head to look at Sword Douluo Chenxin beside him, but found that Chenxin was leisurely drinking tea, seemingly not caring about anything.
This made Ning Fengzhi's face even more difficult to look at. He turned his head to look at his ally, Yu Yuanzhen, but found that Yu Yuanzhen was the same, seemingly afraid to speak.
He was even praying internally that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't seek him out, because Qian Xunfeng, the Pope, was not to be trifled with.
Seeing this, Qian Xunfeng came forward as a mediator, saying, "Sect Master Ning is, after all, still young in cultivation. It's normal for him to be unaware. Sect Master Huyan is also eager to protect his disciples."
"Then let's let the matter rest here. If they are truly Evil Soul Masters, we of the Spirit Hall will not let it go."
Huyan Zhen glanced at Ning Fengzhi when he heard Qian Xunfeng speak, and sarcastically said, "Yes, some people are shallow in their knowledge, yet they still think they know everything."
Hearing Huyan Zhen's sarcastic words, Ning Fengzhi's forehead veins bulged, but seeing that Sword Douluo had no intention of intervening, he could only sulk inwardly.
He was even somewhat resentful towards Sword Douluo in his heart.
But you've lost the granddaughter he cherished, and you've been cold these past years. He's only holding back because of past friendship, otherwise, he would have quit a long time ago.
