"I told you, you are asking for trouble. This kid is covered in thorns. Whoever touches him will prick him." Ling Qingnum, who was on the high platform, snorted lukewarmly.
The old people in the academy secretly shook their heads, this guy was so disrespectful.
Qiao Ba stared at Tang Yan in the air. Tang Yan lowered his eyebrows and protested silently.
Matthews slowly raised his head and stared at Qiao Ba with a fierce gaze: "We only hurt them, we didn't kill anyone, and we didn't cripple anyone. This is considered a violation?! It was their voluntary withdrawal from the game, why should they be forced to deduct it?
Twenty points!
According to your opinion, as long as there is a fight between two teams and one of them announces its withdrawal, the other should be punished? Please give me a reasonable explanation, Mr. Qiao!"
Qiao Ba withdrew his gaze from Tang Yan, glanced at Matthews, and announced loudly: "Any battle, the Holy Land will pay attention to it, and will make a reasonable assessment based on the situation and casualties afterwards. Tang Yan's side attacked the other two
The teams are all vicious incidents with bad consequences.
The deduction of twenty points is the final decision made by the three holy places, which is reasonable and reasonable. Since Tang Yan voluntarily deducted thirty points, the holy places...accept it!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Ba waved to the guards around him, and the guards immediately rushed to the ring and took away thirty Golden Flame Turtles of the Demon King Realm.
"What do you want Qiao Ba to do?" Du Jue's face darkened.
"Tang Yan's edges are too sharp, he needs to be polished." The old people in the academy actually agreed with Qiao Ba's retaliation at this moment.
"Pfft!! Haha, you shot yourself in the foot!!" Suddenly a loud laugh came from a certain team, and they also deliberately whistled loudly at Tang Yan: "Throw a few more if you can, throw them
Ten, throw twenty, throw thirty?!”
Tang Yan followed the sound and saw that it turned out to be the team of Wu Jieshu. There was a feminine man inside who was smiling happily.
Some people in the rest of the team showed smiles and did not avoid him at all. They were not afraid of Tang Yan.
"Don't be impulsive!" Xuanyuan Longli quickly grabbed Tang Yan's arm.
"There is no need to be angry with him." Niya also reminded Tang Yan.
Tang Yan just looked at him casually and ignored him directly. There was no need for him to directly respond to such an arrogant person who was not worthy of being on the stage.
"Put it down!!" Suddenly, a cold voice broke the tense atmosphere in the audience. Everyone looked over in surprise and focused on the bottom of the ring.
There, Du Jue, the ‘Demon Buddha’ of Chenyuan Pavilion, stopped the escorts who were leading away from the Golden Flame Spirit Turtle.
"Ah?" There were people from the Evil Valley, people from the Pure Land, and warriors from the Zhulu Academy in the escort team. They didn't understand the meaning of Du Jue for a moment.
"I said it, put it down!!" Du Jue stood in front of the team with his hands clasped behind his back, his old body carrying an irresistible oppression.
"What are you..." The saints on the high platform all fell down one after another.
"I dare to ask Mr. Qiao, should the team battle be held jointly by the Three Holy Lands, or by you and the Valley of the Evils independently?" Du Jue looked towards the sky indifferently and faced Qiao Ba directly.
Qiao Ba frowned slightly, not sure why, but he was a contemporary of Du Jue, and he knew Du Jue's temper well. He looked at Tang Yan, and then thought about Tang Yan's background, and he had some thoughts in his mind: "I am.
The second team battle and the entire competition will be jointly held by the Three Holy Lands."
"In this case, will the review and notarization of each event be jointly conducted by the Three Holy Lands, or will you, the Valley of Evil, conduct it alone?"
"At the same time, of course."
"The decision to deduct twenty points was jointly discussed by the Three Holy Lands. Why did you forcibly deduct ten points from the twenty points without permission? May I ask, who gave you this right? If any judge can deduct an incorrect score at will
, how can we be fair?”
"Tang Yan asked for it on his own, how could I disobey him?"
Du Jue's face turned cold: "Tang Yan asked you to die, do you want to go?"
"You..." Qiao Ba's expression changed.
"Brother Du Jue!!" The monks in the Pure Land tried to dissuade them one after another. This joke became a big deal!!
"If you die, I won't have any objection to the extra ten points! You don't dare. You can't even think of deducting one more point beyond twenty points." Du Jue snorted coldly, and fell back to the high platform with a flourish of his sleeves.
This time, the whole audience was really quiet. What a domineering Du Jue, who was so protective of Tang Yan!
"Saint Monk Du Jue, can you explain what you just said?!" Qiao Ba stopped in mid-air, his face very ugly. He was the deputy valley master of the Valley of the Evil Ones, and his status was high as you can imagine. He was a evil person who brought trouble to others. Although he has experienced
With the passage of time, Ba Lie's temper has somewhat tempered, but it is still not something that can be provoked casually.
"Come on, a scholar, and explain to Mr. Qiao word by word." Du Jue responded bluntly, making all the guards in the room take a deep breath.
Crunch!! Qiao Ba’s hands behind his back were clenched tightly.
The vice-presidents of the academy were also at a loss. This scene was completely unexpected. Sandwiched between the Valley of the Evil and the Pure Land, they couldn't say much.
"Endure!!" Chu Kuangfeng mouthed towards Qiao Ba who was high up in the sky.
"Hey!! We are here to receive the prize, not to watch your internal fighting!!" A cold snort suddenly came from the competition team.
"Have you had enough trouble? We are waiting for the score!!"
"How about you fight for a while first and we'll come back in the afternoon?"
"Hey, there's a commotion in the Three Holy Lands, it's interesting."
"Keep ten of them and take the rest away!!" Ling Qingnuma personally spoke out and ordered the helpless guards to break the tense atmosphere in the Three Holy Lands.
"I announce that the review and notarization has officially begun. The rules are very simple. Each unit will display the golden turtles they hunted, and the Three Holy Lands will jointly conduct an assessment." Qiao Ba was a veteran after all, and did not continue to pursue the case. He stepped down and made the announcement.
The sixteen teams all stayed where they were. No one wanted to be the first. They all wanted to see the results of other teams first. This is human nature.
Qiao Ba waited for a full cup of tea, but the sixteen teams remained indifferent and remained silent. "Since no one wants to be the first one, let's announce in order from east to west, do you have any opinions?"
Located at the far east was the team represented by Murong Zixuan of the Tianquan Empire. Murong Zixuan did not refuse and walked forward to the ring. With a wave of his hand, all the surrendered Golden Flame Turtles appeared.
Buzzing, a thick golden light shone on the martial arts arena, and the blazing high temperature swept across all directions, raising the temperature of the entire valley by a full seven or eight degrees.
The rest of the troops immediately focused on the arena and tried their best to explore the strength levels of the golden flame turtles. The assessment team composed of six half-saints from the Three Holy Lands waited in person, and the saints at high places were also secretly exploring.
The review team quickly announced: "Murong Zixuan's representative team has three high-level demon masters, eight junior demon masters, and nineteen demon kings. The total score is forty-seven! Next!"
Murong Zixuan returned to the team with a calm expression. Others in the team were eager to observe the expressions of other teams, hoping to see the evaluation of their scores from the other team's face.
The surrounding spectators were also eager to observe the expressions of each team, trying to determine whether Forty-Seven's score was high or low, but unfortunately, the expressions of each team at this time were surprisingly unified, and they all remained calm, with no hint of happiness or anger.
Xue Tianchen walked to the ring on behalf of the team, waved his hand to summon the Golden Flame Turtle, and was inspected by the Holy Land.
"Xue Tianchen's representative team, four high-level demon masters, five junior demon masters, and twenty demon kings, with a total score of forty-six! Next!!"
With a difference of one point, Xue Tianchen fell behind Murong Zixuan.
Mr. Luan Che, the son of Luan, walked towards the ring on behalf of the team. With a gentle smile, he waved his hand to summon the turtles. The large number of them immediately caused a sensation.
"Master Luan's team consists of one high-level demon king, eight junior demon kings, and thirty-three demon kings. The total score is fifty-three! Next!!"
Next, Houston, Ke Yutong, Chen Changan, Dong Qingniu, Zhao Zimo, etc., each team represented their own team and walked to the ring, summoned the Golden Flame Turtle, and accepted the assessment.
The scores range from high to low, with most remaining between 40 and 60 points. The gap is not too big, but there are a few units with slightly lower scores, ranging from 10 to 20 points.
At this point, Zhao Zimo’s team is temporarily leading the list with 60 points, followed by Chen Changan from Chunyang Realm with 55 points, and Luan Gongzi’s team is ranked third with 53 points.
The three teams occupy the top three places in the overall rankings!
Zhao Zimo's strong rush to the rankings immediately became the focus of the audience. It was beyond everyone's expectations that a team of casual cultivators could achieve such results!
However, after more than ten teams have been reviewed and notarized, there are still four teams, Qin Minghuang, Wu Jieshu, Tang Yan, and Tuoba Gui, who are still unwilling to announce.
The four teams deliberately fell behind. They obviously calculated that their scores would far exceed those of the teams present. With a certain degree of confidence in competing for the championship, they were waiting for the final selection.
After all the unconscious Golden Flame Turtles were taken away from the high platform, Qiao Ba reminded: "Qin Minghuang's team, Tang Yan's team, Wu Jieshu's team, Tuoba Gui's team, please come up to the stage to accept the assessment. Refuse to accept the assessment.
Those who do not will be deemed to have automatically abstained! Start now, from left to right!"
