The words of the platinum bishop, Salas, immediately caused an uproar.
Everyone was well aware of the Spirit Palace's status on the continent. Even the two great empires were wary of them. As for this Platinum Bishop, Sacas, his status was extremely honorable, not at all inferior to the Emperor.
"What's going on? The Platinum Bishop of the Martial Spirit Hall seems to have something to say"
"It sounds like he has objections to the match between the Blazing Battle Team and Heaven Dou's Second Team."
"Hehe, what objections can there be to an overwhelming victory?"
The audience was puzzled. They didn't know what he was trying to say.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me"
Sacas calmly waved his hand, instantly silencing the noisy audience. His sharp gaze pierced through the void and landed on Fang Xuan. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "As far as I know, this Ceng Aniu, who led Team Heaven Dou to turn the tables, has a fake identity. It was made up on the spot. His real identity is actually — Fang Xuan"
As soon as these words were spoken, it caused an uproar in the crowd once again. Countless discussions sounded from all directions and surged toward Fang Xuan, who was in the center of the arena.
"Fang Xuan? The illegitimate son of the Emperor?"
"I heard he's the number one genius of the Heaven Dou Academy. His strength is extraordinary"
"Eh? Isn't this Fang Xuan the captain of Heaven Dou's First Team? Why is he in Heaven Dou's Second Team?"
Many people were confused. They didn't know what was going on. Since Fang Xuan was the captain of Heaven Dou's First Team, why didn't he stay in the First Team? Why did he come to the Second Team for no reason?
"Tsk, this Spirit Hall just loves to cause trouble …"
The Emperor noticed the commotion around him. His expression turned ugly. He couldn't help but curse Sacas in his heart.
"The Spirit Hall is interfering. This is going to be troublesome."
Even the usually calm Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but frown. He felt that the situation was gradually deteriorating under Sacas's instigation.
In the center of the arena.
"Fang Xuan? Your name is Fang Xuan?"
Huo Xu's beautiful eyes were spitting fire as she glared fiercely at Fang Xuan. She snappily said, "Didn't you just swear that you are Ceng Aniu? Despicable bastard, how dare you lie to me! Are you still a man?"
"Cough cough …"
Fang Xuan coughed dryly. He was not afraid at all. He looked straight into the girl's angry eyes and said confidently, "Telling the enemy my real name is a very irrational action. I will not do such a stupid thing"
Huo Xu was driven mad. She wanted nothing more than to give Fang Xuan a good beating. However, she desperately restrained herself. She knew that if she were to rush up now, not only would she fail to beat up Fang Xuan, but she would also be beaten up by Fang Xuan.
This guy didn't know how to be tender and protective of the fairer sex.
Huo Xu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Fang Xuan. Her beautiful eyes flashed fiercely. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Big Brother, I told you to wear a mask but you didn't. Now that we've been discovered, what should we do? We might be disqualified from the competition"
Ye Liangchen screamed and couldn't help but complain to Fang Xuan.
"Idiot, don't you know that masks are not allowed in the competition?"
Fang Xuan glared at Ye Liangchen and said confidently,
"Besides, it's not a big deal if they find out. I'm a student of the Heaven Dou Academy. I'm just helping my team in a tournament. There's no problem at all"
"Eh …"
Everyone was speechless. They thought to themselves, you're not a problem here, but that doesn't mean that others won't use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
Didn't you see that the platinum bishop of the Spirit Palace refused to let go of this matter?
Many people had different opinions about this matter.
Some people thought that it was not a big deal. After all, they were all students of the same academy. Some people thought that this kind of behavior was very bad. They strongly demanded that Fang Xuan and the others be disqualified from the competition.
Because of this matter, the audience was in an uproar.
The entire Great Soul Arena was in an uproar.
"Hmph …"
Sacas noticed the uproar in the audience, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
Everything was going according to his expectations. He already had a plan in mind. Now, all he needed to do was add fuel to the fire, and Fang Xuan and the others would be disqualified from the competition.
He stood with his hands behind his back and a serious expression on his face. He looked at the arguing audience around him and put on a fair and just look. He said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, although Heaven Dou's Team One and Team Two are both from the Heaven Dou Academy, the two teams are very distinct from each other. They can't be mixed Fang Xuan, the captain of Team One and a contestant who has already advanced to the finals, has secretly joined Heaven Dou's Team Two and helped the weak Team Two defeat the Blazing Fire Battle Team. This is a despicable act.
What's more, because of Fang Xuan's participation, this preliminary round will allow him to snatch a spot that should belong to another team. This is a malicious violation of the fairness of the Soul Master Tournament. His behavior is very despicable"
Sacas made a mountain out of a molehill and criticized Fang Xuan's crimes. He said coldly, "Therefore, I request the Soul Master Tournament's judging committee to disqualify Fang Xuan from the competition"
Disqualify Fang Xuan from the competition?
Isn't this a little too ruthless? Everyone was shocked.
"Your Majesty, as the organizer of this Soul Master Tournament's preliminary round, I don't think you will be biased toward Fang Xuan, who has violated the rules of the tournament"
Sacas put on a fake smile and stared coldly at the Snowy Night Emperor. He took the initiative to attack the latter and took the opportunity to shut him up.
"Haha, of course. I'm the organizer of this tournament. I'll handle this matter impartially"
The Emperor smiled indifferently. He was calm and composed, and he wasn't alarmed. After all, he had been an emperor for decades. He had seen all kinds of storms. Sacas's little trick wasn't enough to make him waver.
He stared quietly at Fang Xuan on the stage and said in a deep voice, "I won't be biased towards any competitor. Similarly, I won't blame an innocent competitor on purpose"
After hearing this, Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows. He felt that his father wasn't simple. He was able to give Sacas a taste of his own medicine without batting an eyelid. He didn't defend himself. He just stayed quietly on the stage and waited for Xue Ye's decision.
This was because whether Fang Xuan could continue to participate in the Soul Master Tournament didn't just affect his results. It also affected the honor of the empire. Hence, he believed that Xue Ye would handle this matter well.
"Bishop Sacas, there's only one thing you're suspicious of, and that is that Fang Xuan is the captain of Team Heaven Dou Team One. He should've been guaranteed a spot in the finals, but now he's fighting with the teams in the preliminaries to qualify for the finals, isn't that right?"
"That's right" Sacas snorted coldly.
"Alright then. The Heaven Dou Academy will give up on the guaranteed spot in the finals. We'll combine our two teams and fight from the preliminary round. Is there any problem, Bishop Sacas?"
Xue Ye's eyes were cold. He smiled at Sacas. He believed that Fang Xuan could easily lead his team into the finals. Hence, he made such a concession.
"What? You're giving up on the guaranteed spot in the finals?"
Sacas was shocked. His face turned green and white.
He didn't expect the Snowy Night Emperor to be so confident. He didn't expect the Emperor to give up on the guaranteed spot in the finals.
If that was the case, he really couldn't say anything about the Emperor Team starting from the preliminary round.
Finally, Sacas turned green. He said to Xue Ye, "You're … ruthless"
