Chapter 176: The Competition Ends
On the city wall, Xu Jiawei was still rejoicing over the upcoming victory, when a member of the competition team quietly came behind him and whispered in his ear.
Listening to his narration, Xu Jiawei was stunned:
"You mean the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy chose to admit defeat?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy proposed. We..." The person from the competition team nodded and said.
It was the first time that someone did not choose to finish the game in the finals, but took the initiative to admit defeat.
After the individual elimination match, Elder Ma thought for a long time and made this decision.
He thought that there was no point in continuing to fight. As most people expected, the defeat of the Sun Moon Royal Academy was almost a foregone conclusion.
Although the surrender without a fight might attract some public opinion later, the shadow cast by Xiao Hongchen's incident was still too big.
Although the match between Meng Hongchen and Ling Shuang was very peaceful afterwards, he could not guarantee whether Ling Shuang would go crazy again later.
He could still save people in a one-on-one match, but in the combination and team matches, under the instantaneous changes, he did not have the confidence to save everyone from Ling Shuang's terrifying attack that was not suitable for a Soul King at all.
He felt that it was not worth taking this risk for a doomed failure. Those who could participate in this competition as official team members were all the top talents in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. He did not want to gamble with their lives.
What's more, there were Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, two extraordinary ancestors.
If something went wrong, he would be blamed!
Moreover, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy was not like Shrek Academy. They were not so mythical, and their fans were not so extreme. Even if they voluntarily admitted defeat, the public opinion would not be too big.
After all, everyone could see how terrible Ling Shuang was.
So Elder Ma told the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy about his decision and sought their opinions.
In fact, he was seeking the opinions of Xiao Hongchen and his sister.
In this team, with Elder Ma's identity, the only two people whose opinions he could not ignore and must consider were these two people.
In fact, he had been prepared to persuade Xiao Hongchen earnestly from the beginning.
After all, judging from this guy's previous performance and his understanding of Xiao Hongchen's character, this guy didn't seem to be willing to surrender voluntarily.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Hongchen agreed to Elder Ma's idea after just a moment of hesitation, which made Elder Ma's persuasion on the tip of his tongue be held back.
Although he didn't know why Xiao Hongchen would make such an abnormal decision, it was a good thing anyway.
What Elder Ma was most worried about was that Xiao Hongchen's stubborn temper would flare up, and he would insist on fighting Ling Shuang to the end after losing to Ling Shuang.
After listening to the story of the person in the competition group, Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Then announce this result. This is the right of each participating team."
In fact, he really wanted the Sun Moon Royal Soul Team to continue to play the rest of the game with Star Luo Royal Academy.
After all, if the Sun Moon Royal Academy forced Ling Shuang to accidentally use heavy hands and a few geniuses fell, it would be the best.
However, he certainly couldn't directly reject the Sun Moon Royal Academy team's request to admit defeat. That would be too unreasonable.
Not allowing people to admit defeat in a competition, what kind of thing is that?
Hearing this, the people in the competition group slowly withdrew.
Although Tiansha Douluo, the referee, was a little shocked after getting this result, he could still understand it after thinking about it carefully.
With a light cough, Tiansha Douluo's voice, with the help of soul power, was clearly heard in every corner of Star Luo Square.
"Everyone."
The audience's eyes were cast over, and under the gaze of many eyes, Tiansha Douluo announced the final result:
"Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy chose to give up the next game, I declare that Star Luo Royal Academy won this game!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar and talked a lot.
"What is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy doing? They just admit defeat?"
"What about the pride of being a soul master?"
"Actually, it's understandable. After all, the Sun Moon Royal Academy didn't have a chance of winning the championship. It's better to admit defeat earlier."
"With the momentum when Ling Shuang fought Xiao Hongchen before, who wouldn't be afraid?"
"…"
Although the audience reacted to this result, it was generally good.
Just as Elder Ma expected before, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy is not like Shrek Academy. Not only are they not mythical, but they don't have many fans in the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms, so even if they fail, it won't cause much dissatisfaction.
Most of those who expressed dissatisfaction were the audience who felt that they bought tickets for the finals, but in the end they only saw an individual elimination match and felt that they lost money.
However, the event organizer will definitely not be responsible for this. After all, admitting defeat is a normal thing, and there is nothing wrong with it.
So those voices were quickly suppressed by cheers.
"Star Luo!"
The cheers like a tsunami resounded throughout the Star Luo Square.
Most of these audiences were people from the Star Luo Empire. Seeing that the Star Luo Royal Academy won the championship, they were naturally very excited.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Although he was not in a very good mood at the moment, Dai Hao still smiled and congratulated Xu Jiawei.
Xu Jiawei smiled and said nothing.
His mood at the moment was as if he had drunk a mouthful of ice water in the dog days of summer, and he felt extremely comfortable.
If it weren't for his status, Xu Jiawei would have wanted to point at Dai Hao's nose and ridicule him proudly.
Don't you look down on the Royal Academy? Don't you want to send both sons to Shrek Academy to defeat the Royal Academy and indirectly suppress the royal family?
What about now?!
After calming down his emotions, Xu Jiawei took a step forward.
As the Emperor of Star Luo and the host of this competition, after the final results have been obtained, it is the turn of Emperor Xu Jiawei to present awards to the top three academies according to the procedure.
"Please ask the three academy representatives to come up and receive the awards."
"Princess, please." Ling Shuang turned his face slightly and said to Xu Jiujiu who was standing aside.
"Young Master Ling is not going?" Xu Jiujiu was stunned.
Ling Shuang is the captain of the academy team, and he should be the one to receive the award.
Ling Shuang shook his head: "Her Royal Highness is more suitable than me."
He was just a bounty hunter who reached a cooperation with Xu Jiujiu to help her win the championship.
Now that his promise has been fulfilled, the reason why he is still here is just to wait for Xu Jiujiu to pay.
As for receiving the award, it is troublesome, Ling Shuang is not interested.
Xu Jiujiu is more suitable than him. As a princess, this limelight will be more beneficial to her reputation among the people.
Xu Jiujiu naturally knows this truth, so she did not continue to persuade.
"Thank you." After thanking him softly, she looked at Ling Shuang deeply, then retracted her gaze and walked out with elegant steps.
