Chapter 131: Reporting Them

Chapter 131: Reporting Them

What now? Do you really think you can take on Zhu Ye in your current state?

Without the Eight Spider Lances, the Ice and Fire Dual Heavenly Rivers, the boost from the Immortal Grass, and the fourth soul ring that's had millennia to mature...

You can barely even move properly right now. Are you seriously thinking of challenging someone so far above your level? Just drop it and get some rest.

Although he thought this way, Yu Xiaogang still turned around and shook his head earnestly.

"There's no way we can win against them. Maybe if we wait another five years, we might have a chance at Shrek. They're one of the favorites to win this Youth Soul Master Competition!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San felt his heart tighten. Was that woman truly invincible?

"How is it fair that she possesses such overwhelming strength while we lag so far behind?"

Tang San clenched his teeth, his heart filled with indescribable resentment.

If only there was a way... If only she couldn't participate, then their Tianwu Academy would be as good as useless in the Youth Soul Master Competition!

How could they get her disqualified? Suddenly, an idea popped into Tang San's mind.

A Soul King in her early twenties... Is that even normal? Could she have used some fallen soul master's method to boost her power?

Thinking of this possibility, he quickly looked at Yu Xiaogang, hoping for his help.

"Teacher, I think there's something suspicious about this Zhu Ye."

Yu Xiaogang raised his head, looking at Tang San's eager expression, and immediately became vigilant.

He knew Tang San's character all too well, and this was probably the prelude to some mischievous scheme.

"Oh? What's so suspicious about her?" Yu Xiaogang asked cautiously.

"A Soul King in her early twenties. I suspect she's used some improper cultivation method, like those employed by fallen soul masters. I even suspect she might be a fallen soul master herself!" Tang San said seriously, his face full of righteousness.

"I think we should verify this. It would be best to bring someone from the Spirit Hall or the Empire to check if my suspicions are true."

Tang San felt that if he could be targeted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then surely the Spirit Hall or the Empire would take notice of Zhu Ye, a young Soul King in her twenties.

If they could get her investigated and controlled, their chances of winning would increase significantly!

Yu Xiaogang also guessed what Tang San was thinking, but he frowned and remained calm.

"Little San, do you know the impact this kind of accusation could have on someone?"

Hearing his teacher's admonishment, Tang San paused.

What impact? Of course, he knew what kind of impact it would have!

Perhaps the torment that person would suffer at the hands of the Spirit Hall would be a thousand times worse than what he had endured. But so what!

She was from Tianwu Academy, and she had stood against him.

Although Tang San's thoughts were rather malicious, he didn't dare let his teacher see through him.

"Teacher, a Soul King at such a young age... Is that really normal? She must be a fallen soul master.

You know very well the harm that fallen soul masters can bring to the world. Now that one has appeared before us, shouldn't we take action?" Tang San pleaded sincerely, his eyes pleading.

Yu Xiaogang sensed his student's earnestness, and his expression gradually softened.

"But this kind of accusation could have a huge impact on a student's life." Yu Xiaogang hesitated.

"Teacher, I can assure you that she's an evil soul master!" Tang San said firmly.

"Little San, some things..." Yu Xiaogang frowned, but he couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence.

"Teacher, I understand your concerns," Tang San quickly said, "but as a teacher of Shrek Academy, shouldn't you consider what's best for the academy?

Oh ho, now he's bringing morals into it.

As these thoughts ran through Yu Xiaogang's mind, he sighed helplessly.

"Alright, let's go ask the competition committee then."

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang decided to seek counsel from the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, hoping to gain insight into how they planned to handle this matter.

As they set out, they happened to run into Ning Rongrong. Her eyes lit up when she heard about their plan.

"Oh? You're going to see the Platinum Bishop? I'd love to come and see as well!"

Her primary motivation was curiosity; she had originally intended to discuss with Tang San about visiting Xiao Wu.

But now that there was excitement afoot, she was definitely going to witness the drama first!

Tang San, who was well aware of Ning Rongrong's mischievous ideas, naturally did not refuse.

Furthermore, having Ning Rongrong, someone familiar with the inner workings, with them might even prove to be helpful.

"In that case, let's go together. Since you're interested, perhaps you can offer us some suggestions and help."

Tang San said with a smile.

"Great! Then let's hurry. I can't wait to see what will happen."

Ning Rongrong said excitedly.

The three of them discussed their plan of action and set off together towards the Spirit Hall.

With the backing of Ning Rongrong's influential family, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's reporting endeavor was sure to go smoothly.

......

When the trio arrived at the Spirit Hall and met with the Platinum Bishop, he listened patiently to their request.

He understood Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's concerns, and the Spirit Hall was well aware of the key issues at play. However, he explained their dilemma with a troubled expression.

"I understand your concerns, and we at the Spirit Hall also had suspicions about her when she took the stage.

However, you must also understand that the Spirit Hall's operations and competition arrangements are designed to ensure fairness and protect the interests of all involved."

The Platinum Bishop patiently explained.

"For example, if we were to adjust a participant's status or eligibility based on your report, it would undoubtedly arouse discontent and protests from other competitors.

This would not only disrupt the smooth progress of the competition but could also lead to more unforeseen consequences.

We must act with caution to ensure the order and fairness of the entire Spirit Master Tournament."

Tang San's expression showed his disappointment, but he could also understand the Platinum Bishop's considerations.

They knew that the Spirit Hall, as a massive organization, had to balance the interests of all parties involved.

Moreover, any rash adjustments could set off a chain reaction, affecting even more innocent people.

Hearing the Platinum Bishop's polite response, Tang San courteously inquired further, sensing that the Bishop also had his suspicions about Zhu Ye.

"Then, can you offer us some suggestions? Perhaps we can find another way to resolve this issue without directly impacting the competition."

The Platinum Bishop nodded slightly, indicating that it wasn't a difficult request.

"I suggest you gather more 'evidence' and 'materials' first, systematically clarifying the root of the problem.

Once you have a comprehensive understanding of the situation, come back to me, and we can discuss a specific solution.

I will do my best to coordinate and find an approach that both sides can accept."

The Platinum Bishop emphasized the words "evidence" and "materials."
