Hai Zhengming was stunned when he heard the words' I admit defeat '. He didn't expect that the opponent he had high hopes for would admit defeat before the match even started.
At the same time, the audience was dumbfounded. No one expected that the number one expert of the South Campus, Tu Jiaojiao, would admit defeat. What was going on?
After a brief silence, the audience burst into an uproar.
"What is she doing? What is Senior Tu Jiaojiao doing? Doesn't she know that she's representing the South Campus? How could she surrender without a fight? That's so embarrassing! "
"That's impossible. Did I hear it wrong? How could Senior Tu Jiaojiao admit defeat? "
"There must be something going on behind the scenes. How could that unknown brat be Senior Sister Tu Jiaojiao's opponent?!"
The students of the South Campus were in an uproar. They could accept defeat, but not Tu Jiaojiao's surrender!
The North Campus was also in an uproar. However, unlike the South Campus, they were more excited and happy.
"Oh my god, did I hear it wrong? The South Campus admitted defeat. Did we finally win the North-South Campus Tournament?"
"Happiness came too suddenly. We actually won. And that kid on the stage, he won the title of champion without doing anything. Is there anyone luckier than him?"
"Yeah, it's too easy to be the champion. I can do it too …"
Luo Dongqing burst into laughter. "Old woman, did you see that? This is the power of our grandson-in-law. He subdued the South Campus without using a single move. "
Ouyang Lan's expression was ugly. She didn't understand why Tu Jiaojiao admitted defeat just like that. However, there was no rule against admitting defeat, so she couldn't say anything.
Everyone was puzzled by Tu Jiaojiao's actions. Only Yun Qianqian and a few others knew what was going on, especially Murong Jinghong. When Tu Jiaojiao went up to the stage to fight with her, she had already expressed this intention.
However, most people couldn't accept this result. You Wanren was the most furious. He couldn't accept that his enemy had taken the champion's crown so easily.
Just as Hai Zhengming was about to make a decision, he came to the grandstand and shouted to Luo Dongqing and Ouyang Lan, "Deans, I'm not convinced. I can't accept this result."
Seeing that someone stood out and publicly questioned, the noisy scene immediately quietened down. Everyone wanted to see how the two Deans would deal with this matter.
Ouyang Lan said, "It's the right of the contestants to take the initiative to admit defeat. What right do you have to object?"
"Dean, you're right. The contestants can indeed take the initiative to admit defeat. However, today's competition is different. Tu Jiaojiao isn't representing herself. Rather, she's representing all of us. Therefore, she doesn't have the right to admit defeat."
You Wanren said angrily, "I've long heard that Tu Jiaojiao had an affair with Qin Haodong.
Now, it seems that all the rumors are true. She actually sacrificed the honor of the entire Southern Campus for this man.
Think about it, we've had a total of 19 rounds in today's competition, but this kid surnamed Qin hasn't even moved a finger, and he's going to take away the crown of the king.
If this is acceptable, then what reason is there to speak of? What justice is there to speak of?
I implore the two Deans to uphold justice and disqualify Qin Haodong and Tu Jiaojiao from participating in the competition and drive them out of our Black Tortoise Academy. This kind of person is absolutely a disgrace to our academy! "
His words immediately aroused the anger of the students in the arena. Many people followed and shouted one after another.
"Dean, please uphold justice and disqualify them from participating in the competition …"
"We don't accept Tu Jiaojiao admitting defeat. We don't accept the result of the competition. We don't accept that she took away the honor of the king without moving a finger …"
"Shady! Disgraceful! Our academy will never allow this to happen. "
For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena exploded. Some people were angry because Tu Jiaojiao had admitted defeat, while others were annoyed because their goddess had fallen.
Tu Jiaojiao was willing to give away the honor of the king. It was evident how deep her love for this man was.
A trace of pride flashed across You Wanren's face. He said to the stage, "See that, Deans? This is what everyone wants. I hope you can uphold justice and be impartial!"
He was well aware of the relationship between Qin Haodong and Luo Hongying, so he deliberately pointed out the words' impartial '.
Ouyang Lan and Luo Dongqing glanced at each other. Luo Dongqing signaled to Ouyang Lan to deal with this matter.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
As a master of the dacheng stage, although Ouyang Lan's voice was not loud, it was clearly sent to everyone's ears.
She had an extremely high prestige in the entire Black Tortoise Academy, so everyone shut their mouths after she spoke.
"Rest assured, everyone. I'll definitely give you an explanation to ensure the fairness of the competition," said Ouyang Lan.
"But a competition is a competition and rules are rules. In the case of a great disparity in strength, participants are allowed to take the initiative to admit defeat. Therefore, we still have to hear what Tu Jiaojiao has to say before we present the final result. "
After she said that, everyone looked at the arena and focused their eyes on Tu Jiaojiao.
Ouyang Lan spoke again, "Tu Jiaojiao, what's your reason for admitting defeat? Give everyone an explanation. If your explanation is reasonable, the academy will support your decision.
If it's unreasonable, the academy will consider revoking your right to participate in the competition. "
Tu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Alright, President. Since everyone needs an explanation, then I'll give it to everyone."
You Wanren said, "What else is there to explain? It's obvious that you're using our academy's honor to please your man."
Ouyang Lan frowned and said coldly, "You Wanren, it's Tu Jiaojiao's time to explain now. Don't speak carelessly."
You Wanren didn't dare to provoke this extremely tough old lady. Although he was unwilling, he immediately shut his mouth.
Tu Jiaojiao said, "Let me first introduce my cultivation. Everyone has seen that I've reached the early-stage of the Form Synthesis Realm.
To be honest, it's very difficult to make any further progress after reaching the Peak of the Void Refinement Realm. I've been stuck in this realm for three years, but I still haven't broken through to the Form Synthesis Realm.
I'm still at the Peak of the Void Refinement Realm even until I rushed to the Seventh Order Pagoda this time.
The reason why I'm able to cross the threshold of the Form Synthesis Realm now is all thanks to the Dragon Power Pill that Junior Brother Qin Haodong gave me. With this pill, I broke through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm. "
"The Dragon Power Pill! That's a seventh-grade pill. One of them can be sold for more than 100,000 supreme-grade spirit stones at the auction …"
"Not only is this pill expensive, but its ingredients are also extremely rare. I heard that it needs to be refined with dragon saliva. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have the money …"
"Qin Haodong casually gave away the Dragon Power Pill. If a man is willing to treat me like this, I'm also willing to be his girlfriend and bear his children!"
Tu Jiaojiao continued, "When Junior Brother Qin Haodong gave me the pill, he already knew that the competition between the North and South Colleges was about to take place. He also knew that I would be representing the South College as his opponent.
Under such circumstances, he still gave the pill to me without hesitation. It shows how broad-minded he is. "
You Wanren could not help but stand up again when he heard this. He said to the rostrum, "Dean, I disagree with Tu Jiaojiao's reason.
Even if Qin Haodong helped her raise her cultivation, she still has to be responsible for the entire South College during the competition. She has to fight with her true strength and not admit defeat because of her personal feelings.
Moreover, Qin Haodong gave away the Dragon Power Pill not because of his broad-mindedness, but because he coveted someone's beauty. "
Tu Jiaojiao said angrily, "You Wanren, shut up. Don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure, alright?"
You Wanren said, "You know what's going on yourself. No matter what, this is not a reason for you to admit defeat."
Ouyang Lan said, "Tu Jiaojiao, what you just said is indeed very far-fetched. If you're grateful to Qin Haodong for helping you raise your cultivation, you can give up the competition instead of admitting defeat."
"Dean, I'm not done yet." Tu Jiaojiao continued, "The reason why I admitted defeat was entirely because my strength was no match for Qin Haodong. It was completely reasonable for me to admit defeat when there was such a huge difference in strength."
You Wanren sneered, "Tu Jiaojiao, do you think we're all fools? You're already at the early-stage of Body Integration. I don't believe that his cultivation is much higher than yours!"
Tu Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "Do you know the number one expert of Black Tortoise Kingdom, Zhangsun Chengcheng?"
You Wanren did not understand why Tu Jiaojiao suddenly changed the topic, but he still said, "Of course I do. Imperial Advisor Zhangsun Chengcheng is at the Great Vehicle Stage and is known as the number one expert of Xuanwu Kingdom."
Tu Jiaojiao said, "Qin Haodong killed Zhangsun Chengcheng just before we came back.
Do you think I should admit defeat in the face of such an expert? Is he worthy of the title of our academy's king? "
As the Black Tortoise Academy was quite far from the Black Tortoise Royal City, the news of Zhangsun Chengcheng's death had yet to reach here.
When they heard the news from Tu Jiaojiao herself, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"What? This young man actually killed Zhangsun Chengcheng? How is that possible? "
"To be able to shoot a master of the dacheng stage, is this true or false?"
"No matter what, as long as he can kill a Great Vehicle Stage expert, he is definitely worthy of the title of our Black Tortoise Academy's king. This is an honor for all of us..."
Tu Jiaojiao had immediately turned the current situation around with a single message.
In the eyes of the other students, admitting defeat to an expert who could kill a Great Vehicle Stage expert was definitely not a shameful thing.
Even the students of the Southern Academy felt that Tu Jiaojiao's admission of defeat was a very wise choice and no longer had any objections.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, You Wanren shouted, "Who knows if what you said is true or false? Anyone can brag."
At this moment, Luo Dongqing, who was in the stands, spoke.
"I can guarantee in the name of the Vice Dean of the Black Tortoise Academy that what Tu Jiaojiao said is true. I once followed them to the Black Tortoise Royal City, and it was indeed Qin Haodong who killed Zhangsun Chengcheng on the spot."
Ouyang Lan glared at him and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"
Luo Dongqing chuckled. "I was afraid that you wouldn't agree to the format of this year's Battle of the Kings if you knew."
After receiving Luo Dongqing's confirmation, You Wanren's face turned pale and he could no longer say anything. In the face of absolute strength, he had no right to question.
The other students in the audience no longer had any objections to Tu Jiaojiao's admission of defeat.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Hai Zhengming walked to the center of the arena and said, "I hereby announce that the Northern Academy is the winner of the North-South Academy Tournament. Student Qin Haodong is the king of our Black Tortoise Academy."
