Ding Wen couldn't care less about his demeanor right now. It was really unsightly for the Soul Choosing Assembly to turn out like this. Although the examiners couldn't control the students' abstention and withdrawal, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on the organization. At this time, the students who abstained and withdrew in succession were the first, second, and third place students, which seemed to mean that the influence of the Soul Choosing Assembly was declining. It was hard to get a high ranking position, but the students regarded it as worthless and abandoned it like a pair of worn-out clogs. For Ding Wen, it was more uncomfortable than taking his life.
"You guys!" Ding Wen stared fiercely at Lu Ping and the other two. The bipolar student in the fourth position, who almost got up to give up his seat, was also shocked when he saw the chief examiner Ding Wen's appearance. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.
The three people's abstention had something to do with Zhenfeng College. Everyone could see this. This inevitably caused the scourge label in Ding Wen's heart to deepen a little. If it weren't for them, everything would be very smooth, and the Soul Choosing Assembly this time wouldn't be like a farce.
Ding Wen looked at them, and the more he looked, the more he hated them. But he couldn't do anything about Lu Ping, who was sitting in the first seat in the middle. He also agreed to restore Lu Ping's qualification, although he pretended to be a little helpless. Winning without a fight with Qin Sang also didn't violate the rules. Even if Ding Wen wanted to use his right to speak and act shamelessly, he had to worry about the lifelong examiner, Chu Min, who had more right to speak than him. Without sufficient reason to rely on, he couldn't forcibly invert right and wrong.
But the position of Su Tang and Siffin was still a little controversial.
"You two, who said you could sit here!" Ding Wen shouted.
Lu Ping had won his seat. Although it was so easy that it made Ding Wen vomit blood, he had nothing to say. However, the second and third seats for Su Tang and Siffin were empty. The examiner still had the absolute right to decide who should sit in those seats, and there had to be a justifiable way to deal with it. Regardless of whether it was Su Tang who directly sat on the seat, or Xu Weifeng who directly gave up his seat without a duel, it was against the rules.
"I can't take a seat even if it's empty?" Lu Ping asked.
"We still have to follow the rules!" Ding Wen roared. This was something that couldn't be any more normal, yet he still had to explain it. The evil fire in Ding Wen's heart kept rising.
Lu Ping looked to the left, then to the right. Su Tang and Siffin were really well-behaved. When they heard the chief examiner Ding Wen say that they were not allowed to sit like this, they really stood up.
"Then we'll follow the rules. How should I sit? "Lu Ping asked.
"According to the order, move up," Ding Wen said in a bad mood. He wanted to promote some students that he admired, but he really couldn't find any words that could convince the masses. In terms of strength, these few from Zhenfeng College weren't bad, and it wasn't necessarily that they didn't have the qualifications to sit in those empty seats. Therefore, Ding Wen simply didn't make it complicated. He just moved the order like this, and no one had any reason to disagree.
In this way, the fourth student from Bipolar College should sit in the second seat. Poor him. Just now, he almost gave up his fourth seat, and now the examiner actually arranged for him to sit in the second seat?
He raised his head and glanced at the gazes of Lu Ping and the other two who were looking at him.
It was just a very ordinary gaze. Because they were guided by words, they conveniently turned their gazes over. But in the eyes of this Bipolar College student. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that these three people's gazes were full of hints.
"About that …" The Bipolar College student spoke up. "I think it's pretty good that I'm sitting here." He then turned his head to the fifth student beside him. "You sit in front!"
"Me?" The fifth student was startled. Originally, he was still considering whether he should follow the fourth student if he sat forward. He didn't expect that the brother in front of him would be so resolute, not going forward at all, but pushing him forward with a backhand.
"There's no need. This is the seat I should be sitting in right now. As for the others, I'll fight for them myself. "This person spoke in a righteous and stern manner, but in the end, there was only one meaning: he wouldn't go forward either.
If the fourth student didn't go, and the fifth student didn't go, then what about the sixth student?
The sixth student stood up. He was about to sit forward with unusual calmness. Ding Wen was just about to be angered speechless by the fourth and fifth students. Seeing the sixth student calmly step forward, he didn't feel gratified at all. He just wanted to vomit blood.
The sixth student was Morin. With the realm of Dual Breakthrough, his ranking naturally wouldn't be too low among the students. Coincidentally, he had already fled and wasn't here during the ranking. This favor of being closer to the front had been given by Ding Wen to Morin's opponent, Dao Ran.
But now that Morin had returned and chased Dao Ran away with a "scram", the fourth and fifth students didn't dare to sit forward. Of course, Morin didn't have any misgivings and was about to walk forward immediately.
"All of you, stop!" Ding Wen instantly flared up again. What he announced was the rules, the rules. They had to be obeyed and carried out. Who said that they could freely choose whether to go or not?
"The fourth student, sit in the second seat. The fifth student, sit in the third seat. So on and so forth!" Ding Wen gave clear instructions.
Facing the stares of Lu Ping and the others again and again, the fourth and fifth students could only wail in their hearts.
This was the examiner's order. It had nothing to do with them! The two of them were desperately trying to explain to Lu Ping and the others with their gazes. In the end, they found that Lu Ping wasn't looking at them anymore. On the other hand, the examiner, Ding Wen, was glaring at them very unhappily.
There was no other way …
The two of them had a bitter face and stood up slowly. Ding Wen was so angry that he wanted to die. The seat closer to the front should be the dream of the students who participated in the Soul Point Contest, but now these two guys seemed to be going to the execution ground. He really wanted to rush up and kick these two good-for-nothings away.
"How should I sit?" The two of them dilly-dallied forward and forward. Morin was getting impatient. He had already stood up, and now he was waiting for where he should sit. In the end, he didn't vacate his seat even after a long time. The fourth and fifth students naturally panicked when they heard that. They didn't know whether to move forward or not. Their minds only felt blank. In any case, they first moved away from their original seats.
"I should be here, right?" Mo Lin followed the principle of "so on and so forth" and was going to sit from sixth to fourth. However, as he moved forward, his clothes somehow got hooked on the seat, and the things in his clothes fell to the ground with a clatter. Some of them rolled, some bounced, and some crawled out from under the seat. One of them landed at the feet of the Bipolar student.
This is?
The student looked down and found it a little familiar. He thought about it carefully and felt a little dizzy.
He recognized it. This was the waist token of the Commander of the Academy Supervisory Commission. In any case, it shouldn't appear on Morin. In that case, some of his previous conjectures were probably the truth.
These guys had really killed the Commander of the Academy Supervisory Commission!
As the student thought of this, his eyes hurriedly followed the other pieces that jumped to other places.
Waist token, it was a waist token. Yes, it was all waist tokens. Wait, these two … one positive and one negative pattern …
This top student from Twin Polarity Academy was not qualified to see these two waist tokens, but he had heard that these were the waist tokens of the two chief inspectors of the Academy Supervisory Commission.
Not only did they kill the Commander, but also the Lord Chief Inspector?
When he thought of this, he didn't just feel dizzy. He began to feel weak in the legs. And the second seat that he was about to sit on seemed to want to swallow him up.
Sitting there was simply sending him to his death!
When he thought of this, the student no longer hesitated. He was determined not to snatch the seats of these people from Zhenfeng College.
So …
"I forfeit!" he said. Like the three people before him, he left without looking back.
Ding Wen was still in a daze. It was as if he didn't hear the student's announcement of "forfeit".
The waist tokens on the ground belonged to the four Commanders and the two Chief Inspectors. He didn't care about the commander, but the two Chief Inspectors, who had mastered the Dual Breakthrough and Linked Techniques, weren't any weaker than him. Yet, they still weren't a match for Lu Ping?
Ding Wen was very curious about how Lu Ping and the others had escaped from the pursuit of the Academy Supervisory Commission and returned here so boldly. But now he knew that they didn't escape. They directly killed the people from the Academy Supervisory Commission. It wasn't that they were bold, but that they had returned here without fear.
These guys, how could they let other students compete with them?
The Bipolar student in the fourth seat had already decisively forfeited. The student in the fifth seat turned around without hesitation. He didn't forfeit, nor did he move forward to sit. Instead, he sat in the seat that Morin had just vacated, the sixth seat.
He sat one seat back. He was determined to ignore Ding Wen's arrangements. If the examiner insisted, then he had no choice but to forfeit. Sit in the front? What a joke. Wouldn't that be sitting there being taught a lesson by those monsters?
Ding Wen was still very unhappy with his actions, but he had to understand. If he asked the students to move forward again, everyone would definitely think that he was forcing them to their deaths. Ding Wen didn't want to see everyone forfeit and leave in the end.
So he was silent, silently agreeing with the student's action of retreating to the sixth seat. Morin ran around, picking up the waist tokens one after another. Then he looked and saw that the first five seats, except for the one that Lu Ping was sitting in, were all empty.
"No one wants to sit?" Morin asked the students.
The students were silent.
"Then, can we sit wherever we want?" Morin asked the examiners.
The examiners were also silent.
"Then, shall we sit?" Morin called out to Su Tang and Siffin.
Silence still answered them.
Hence, one, two, three, four.
Lu Ping, Su Tang, Siffin, Morin.
"No one wants to sit here?" Morin pointed to the fifth empty seat beside him.
The students were still silent. Everyone wanted to keep a distance from them.
"If no one wants to sit, shall we plant the flag?" Morin said again.
After lining up, the students from the various schools were scattered, unable to gather under the school flag. However, there were a few students from Zhenfeng College, one, two, three, four, and so on. The fifth seat was also empty. Morin suddenly wanted to plant the school flag there.
"Enough!" There was a limit to Ding Wen's patience after all. Coming from the four major schools made him full of pride. Even if he found that the students in front of him might not be able to deal with his strength, he still couldn't let them do as they pleased.
However, what should he do next?
From one to four, Zhenfeng College's four seats were stable. Even the fifth seat was empty, and no one dared to approach it. The most critical stage of this year's Soul Point Assembly was only to decide the last forty-five places? What was the point? At this moment, Ding Wen felt dispirited, and he felt like a complete failure.
