Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 193 The Six Arts of a Gentleman: Getting Anxious
"Serves you right!" Xiao Xiao spat in the rest area.

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei sighed, recalling the speculation he had shared with Xu during his long period of recuperation.

It now appears that this guess has indeed come true.

In the waiting area, Wang Yan's face turned pale instantly, unsure of what to do.

Xuanzi steadied Wang Yan's body, his own expression equally grim.

Xu Sanshi glared, panting heavily, maintaining his usual persona: "You little wench, I'm not giving it to you, what can you do about it? Are you afraid that the Sun Moon Academy can't beat the six of us? Why do you have to resort to such despicable framing tactics?"

Faced with Xu Sanshi's insults, Meng Hongchen remained calm and composed: "Someone's getting impatient, but I won't say who it is."

"You!" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened, and he was about to take a step forward.

Gu Zhujian, captain of the Douling Royal Academy, sneered, "What, are you afraid of being caught cheating? A clear conscience fears no accusation. As students of the 'Number One Academy on the Continent,' you shouldn't be afraid of our inspection, right?"

He Caitou glanced at the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with a hint of hatred. These people actually dared to stay in that empire ruled by traitors with a clear conscience!

As citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire, how dare they recognize that traitorous minister as emperor!
Shrek Academy's targeting was indeed not without reason. The people of the Sun Moon Empire have become so degenerate and base precisely because they lack the wise education of Shrek Academy!
"Who knows if you've made any deals with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?" He Caitou said coldly. "The wealth of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is unmatched by any other academy present."

"That's it?" Meng Hongchen chuckled. "If you're not willing, the referee is here. We can't possibly make a deal with the referee, can we?"

The referee is the guardian Douluo beside the Star Luo Emperor; who could possibly make a deal with him?
These words immediately blocked Shrek Academy's escape route.

No matter how unwilling the Shrek Academy students were, they had no choice but to hand over their cigars to the captains.

She had just gotten her hands on the cigar when she raised an eyebrow. The cigar she was holding was the one Ma Xiaotao was sucking on. If it were an ordinary Soul Master, they might only be able to feel its effects after actually using it, but she was different.

When she sees Ma Xiaotao again, she still has some psychological trauma, but when she thinks of that pink and blue-haired figure from behind, the trauma doesn't seem so great anymore.

"Senior referee, I think the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament shouldn't prohibit food-type weapon soul masters from participating, right?" Meng Hongchen asked.

Upon hearing this question, the referee immediately had some ideas, but Xu Jiujiu answered first: "The Soul Fighting Tournament does not prohibit food-type Soul Masters from participating."

"However, food-type Soul Masters must prepare food on the spot before supplying it to their teammates for use on the field. Apart from that, no team can stockpile food prepared by food-type Soul Masters for use on the field in advance. This rule also exists, right?" Meng Hongchen smiled.

"Then, I would like to ask all the captains to try using these five cigars, or if any of you are unwilling, you can send someone else up."

In fact, Ma Xiaotao and her friends had already intended to destroy the cigars, but that would have been an admission of guilt. If they truly had nothing to hide, would they have needed to destroy the cigars?

Xuanzi was even considering making a scene, but having just caused trouble here, if Xuanzi were to cause another scene, while it wouldn't be considered courting death, it would definitely push the Star Luo Empire away and create a complete confrontation.

They couldn't understand why, after everything had gone smoothly, they had to be exposed during the finals, a time when everyone was watching.

No one could have imagined that a cigar would actually be a food-type martial soul, right?
Or is there an insider who has been exposed?

“This cigar does indeed have the effect of amplifying power,” Gu Zhujian said first.

He had just plucked the small piece of cigar that Dai Yueheng was holding, lit the cigar, and felt the added effect of the cigar.

As for Dai Yueheng's cold gaze, he didn't care at all.

With Gu Zhujian taking the lead, the other captains also explained the purpose of their cigars, except for Xu Jiujiu, who gave his cigar to someone else.

Shrek Academy, cheating!

The report from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is valid!

Moreover, many people have started to recall Shrek Academy's previous matches. Ever since the round-robin tournament began, there have always been Shrek Academy players smoking cigars!
At first, they thought it was just Xu Sanshi being nonchalant, then they thought it was Shrek Academy showing off. They never expected it to be cheating, because the cigar was actually a food-type martial soul!
"Now, I think everyone here has figured it out. That's right, Shrek Academy has been cheating in the competition since the round-robin stage!" Meng Hongchen pressed on, pointing to the academy team's rest area.

"Those who didn't use cigars to cheat throughout the entire match, except for those resting in the rest area and this ice-controlling soul master on the field right now, I think they definitely didn't want to win by cheating. But everyone, please think about it, given Shrek Academy's status and power, which student would dare to expose Shrek Academy? They must have been coerced and intimidated by Shrek Academy to choose this way of not going along with the corrupt practices to fight back."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xuanzi could no longer hold back. His eyes widened in anger, and his immense power pressed down on him.

On the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's side, the only remaining elder immediately went to the competition stage to try and withstand the oppressive aura.

However, Xuanzi was a level 98 Super Douluo, while he was just an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

"Senior, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is sacred, fair, open, and just. Any act that disrupts the competition will be considered a provocation against the Star Luo Empire," the referee finally spoke.

Even Princess Jiu Jiu is standing against Shrek Academy, so how can he just watch Xuan Zi throw a tantrum here?
Xuanzi snorted coldly, his mood extremely unpleasant. He began to wonder if this year was the unluckiest year of his life. Why did things keep going wrong? The most important thing was that he couldn't even protect Shrek Academy's honor, and now he was caught cheating in front of everyone!
What a shame!
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, everyone can judge for themselves," Meng Hongchen said calmly. "Anyway, we're not cheating, and we're not in a hurry."

"Besides, the maker of these cigars should be right here with us, right?" Meng Hongchen said, her tone speculative, but her eyes were fixed on He Caitou. "What do you think of this fourth-level Soul Master from Shrek Academy who has never revealed his Martial Soul or used any Soul Skills?"
