Hearing the sound from the Dou Hun Arena, Tang San and the others, who had just entered the gate, immediately froze, thinking they were hallucinating.
They rushed to the Dou Hun Arena, only to learn that Purple Star Academy had already returned to their lounge, and they were too late, being ruled as forfeiting.
At this moment, Tang San's face was ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth as he approached the referee, suppressing his inner rage.
He said, "Our Shrek Academy demands a rematch. This Purple Star Academy is simply no match for our Shrek."
"The request is unreasonable and rejected."
The referee's impression of Shrek Academy was now extremely low, and there were no rules for a rematch under any circumstances.
You can't just have a rematch because you say so; there must be a reason. Shrek Academy was ruled as forfeiting because they were late.
Clearly, it didn't meet the rules for a rematch, so he naturally rejected it. If everyone acted this way, wouldn't it be chaos?
"Why was it rejected? Our students were only a few minutes late. This is unfair."
Seeing Tang San and the others return, Yu Xiaogang also became assertive. Upon seeing the referee reject their rematch request, he displeasedly accused.
"Does a mere few minutes have to change a match that Shrek was sure to win? I highly suspect this referee has accepted bribes and is deliberately targeting our Shrek Academy."
Regardless of whether it's reasonable or not, before anything starts, you have to throw mud.
Once the mud is thrown, if the other side gets agitated and says one wrong word, then Yu Xiaogang can seize that word and not let go.
With Yu Xiaogang and Shrek Academy causing such a commotion, the surrounding audience, who were about to leave, became interested.
There's gossip to be had, but why is it Shrek again? Both times the fairness of the competition was questioned, it was Shrek.
"I am just a referee. Above me is the emcee, and above the emcee are the esteemed and great Emperor Xue Ye and the just and impartial Pope. These two majesties are the rule-makers of the competition. Is this mentor dissatisfied with our great Emperor Xue Ye, or with the Pope?"
The referee looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was barking hysterically below the stage, and sneered. Who doesn't know how to label someone? I'll just label you as disrespectful to the Pope and the Emperor. You can explain yourself.
"This is you trying to excuse your biased behavior."
Seeing such a big label thrown at him, Yu Xiaogang immediately became displeased. Noticing Emperor Xue Ye's gaze from the stage, he quickly changed the subject.
He didn't want to be locked up in prison again.
By this time, Yu Xiaogang and the others had delayed the Soul Master Competition for quite a while, and the emcee on stage, who was hosting the competition, impatiently said:
"Alright, Mentor, quickly take your students off the Dou Hun Arena. The next round of matches is about to begin."
Seeing the emcee on stage speak, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but say anxiously:
"This is simply unfair! If there's no rematch, our Shrek Academy will never compete in such a rotten place!"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding academies were the first to jump up in excitement. It would be great if Shrek Academy withdrew.
One more spot, one less powerful opponent.
Yu Xiaogang's outrageous statement also stunned Tang San and the others. What was Yu Xiaogang thinking with to utter such words?
Does it matter to the All-Continent Soul Master Competition whether you compete or not? Looking at it now, people would rather you withdraw from the competition.
"Okay, does your Shrek Academy want to withdraw from the All-Continent Soul Master Competition? If you want to withdraw, go apply for it."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang say that, the emcee agreed without hesitation and immediately told Yu Xiaogang to apply for withdrawal.
Did he really think of himself as someone important? Would the Soul Master Competition not be held without Shrek?
"You!"
Yu Xiaogang saw the emcee agree without any hesitation and was immediately furious, his eyes red and panting heavily.
Just as he was about to continue questioning, Tang San stopped him, and a group of people escorted Yu Xiaogang away dejectedly. If they continued to make a fuss, they would eventually be disqualified from the competition.
At that time, they would truly have no way to express their grievances.
As Tang San and the others left, this farce finally came to an end.
...
At this moment, in the lounge, Tang San and the others had grim expressions because they had lost a match for no reason, causing their ranking to drop directly to sixth place.
This left them very dissatisfied. They had originally planned to contend for first place when they met Heaven Dou Royal Academy next time.
As a result, due to an accident, their ranking plummeted.
Tang San was extremely annoyed at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai for wasting time, and also thought that Shi Nian deserved to die.
"Third Brother, don't worry. There are still more than ten matches left. We'll strive for a full victory and definitely stabilize our ranking."
Feng Xiaotian came to Tang San's side and said ingratiatingly, "Although we didn't get first place in the preliminaries, winning first place in the finals later will attract even more attention from the entire arena. At that time, Third Brother will be even more of a genius among geniuses in everyone's eyes."
"That's the only way."
Tang San sighed helplessly. What could be done now that it had happened?
While annoyed, he also thought of Yu Xiaogang's outrageous statement, which almost caused them to lose their qualification for the competition and miss out on seven 100,000-year Soul Bones.
But he is the respectful and virtuous Xiao San, the pure and noble Tang God King. He certainly couldn't teach that fool Yu Xiaogang a lesson now.
But once he becomes a god, that Yu Xiaogang will honestly have to stay in the Evil Soul Master stronghold for a few days.
Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open. It was Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun returning, their faces also not looking good.
They had obviously also learned that Shrek Academy was ruled as forfeiting due to being late.
Since this matter was mainly due to Ma Hongjun, as soon as Ma Hongjun entered the door, he was met with questioning gazes from a group of people.
"Can you blame me for this? Someone suddenly attacked me."
Ma Hongjun immediately felt wronged and looked angrily at his questioning teammates.
"The person who attacked you should be Shi Nian, the lead teacher of Canghui Academy. If you hadn't been so foul-mouthed back then, you wouldn't have been attacked."
Tang San reprimanded Ma Hongjun in a gloomy tone, indirectly forgetting that he himself had looked down on Canghui Academy at the time and even stood up for Ma Hongjun when he cursed.
After all, he was pure and noble; he wouldn't bully others by relying on power.
"When I cursed back then, didn't you all back me up too?"
At that time, Tang San was the first to stand up and support me, but now that something happened, it's all my responsibility.
"Alright, don't argue. Fatty, Tang San is also doing this for your own good. Control your mouth better in the future. It's a good thing we discovered it early this time, otherwise, you wouldn't have kept your life."
Seeing that an argument was about to break out again, Dai Mubai quickly stopped the two, speaking in a gentle tone. Then he pulled Ma Hongjun back to the room and told him to rest well.
He himself came to Tang San's side and asked in a consultative tone, "Tang San, when should we report Shi Nian of Canghui Academy? Attacking a participant is no small matter."
"When the advancing teams are announced, we'll directly expose the matter and let Canghui Academy also experience some pain."
