Chapter 271 Undercurrent
"Do you have any objections, Huo Yuhao?"

The voice of Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan rang in Huo Yuhao's ears. Huo Yuhao was still in a trance when he was pulled onto the competition stage even though he was not a contestant.

It was not until Zheng Zhan asked again that Huo Yuhao seemed to wake up. At this time, the entire arena, whether in the audience seats, on the rostrum, or in the players' rest area, was full of discussions.

Everyone was discussing one topic, which was that Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the continent, would actually blatantly cheat on the competition stage.

He was so shameless as to make a bet with Xiao Hongchen before the game. This was a blatant attempt to harm Xiao Hongchen.

I am doing this for the glory of Shrek Academy!
Huo Yuhao wanted to loudly defend himself at this moment, but he was met with the disappointed eyes of everyone in Shrek Academy, and he knew he couldn't.
“Do you have any objections, Huo Yuhao?” Zheng Zhan’s voice sounded again. Huo Yuhao’s face turned completely gloomy and he whispered, “No.”

The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire venue through the soul guide loudspeaker. Compared to Huo Yuhao, Wang Qiuer, the incarnation of the three-eyed golden lion, was also disappointed, but she didn't care much about it.

"In this case, I hereby declare that Shrek Academy has blatantly cheated in the competition. This is a serious crime and is banned for twenty years. This will be reported to the Tianhun Empire, Xingluo Empire, and Douling Empire."

Zheng Zhan announced solemnly. In the contestant rest area below, Xu Jiujiu and Vina looked at Huo Yuhao on the stage with disappointment.

Especially Xu Jiujiu, she has now decided to cancel the soul guide device order that she had just discussed with the Tang Sect.

After the announcement, Huo Yuhao walked off the stage like a defeated dog. Because of his whim, Shrek Academy could not participate in the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition for twenty years.

Huo Yuhao knew that once this incident happened, he would become a disgrace to Shrek Academy, along with what happened in the last competition.

After the two cheating incidents happened, all the people present who knew about Shrek Academy’s cheating last time couldn’t help but wonder if Shrek’s previous victories were achieved by cheating?

The seeds of doubt had been planted. It could be said that Huo Yuhao's actions had completely ruined the reputation of Shrek Academy.

Wang Lin, who had already sat back in the referee's seat, shook his head. He could only say that it was his own fault.

The game continued, but afterwards, whether it was the victory of the Body Sect or the victory of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, they were not as affected as the cheating of Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy.

In the next few days, everyone was more concerned about the problems of Shrek Academy than the championship deduction of this competition.

If there is a hot search list in this world, then the cheating of Shrek Academy would undoubtedly be the number one hot search.

Of course, although Shrek Academy was disqualified from the competition due to cheating, because the matter had to be reported to the other three empires, Shrek Academy did not leave Mingdu immediately after the quarterfinals.

The only thing on the continent that can make the four major empires reach a consensus is the Continental Youth Elite Soul Master Competition.

Although there was a competition among all the continent's young elite soul masters, Huo Yuhao continued to exert his strength in the Mingdu Elite Soul Instructor Competition.

He quickly passed the auditions of Xishui League and became one of the only three members of Xishui League who participated in the finals together with He Caitou.

However, the final of the Mingdu Elite Soul Instructor Competition will start one day before the semi-finals of the Continental Youth Elite Competition.

After fierce competition, the list of the top four was finally finalized, namely the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the Body Sect, the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, and the Lingshen Sect disguised as the Holy Spirit Church.

……

A few days later, it was the night before the semi-finals of the Continental Youth Elite Soul Master Competition.

A full moon hung high in the sky. In the spirit of going early and finishing early, Wang Lin arrived at the Qingse Hotel just as it got dark.

Sitting in the hotel lobby and eating the food provided by Qingse Hotel, Wang Lin looked at the middle-aged woman standing next to him and asked, "Why is it you here? Where is Chen An?" "The supervisor is doing a deal with the people from Tang Sect!" the woman said truthfully.

Wang Lin, who had not been here since the first day, had obviously forgotten about this. But when the woman reminded him, he remembered it and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Wang Lin couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao and the others were still in the mood to engage in soul guide metal trading. He had heard from Xiao Meng that the stupid princess Xu Jiujiu had rejected the Tang Sect's soul guide order.

Later, he found a soul engineer from Mingde Hall and thought he had offered the soul engineer a generous condition that he could not refuse.

It was reported directly by the soul instructor.

At this moment, at a gate not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, several figures stood there quietly. With the cover of the night, they seemed to have completely blended into the darkness.

"Not here yet!" A slightly gloomy voice sounded, and the speaker was Xu Sanshi, the third senior brother of the Tang Sect.

In the team, besides him, there are Wang Qiuer, Wang Donger, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, who is only about one foot tall but looks like a real person.

“Don’t be impatient.” Huo Yuhao, who looked like a villain, spoke.

Not long after, a stealthy middle-aged man walked out of the darkness and came in front of them. When Xu Sanshi saw the middle-aged man, he immediately took out a black card and handed it to him.

“Here’s the money.”

The middle-aged man took the card, took out a small soul guide and checked it to confirm that there was no problem with the card. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are the goods?" Xu Sanshi asked, with an invisible aura emanating from him.

A bracelet and two rings were handed to Xu Sanshi, and he distributed the storage soul guides to He Caitou, Wang Qiuer, and Wang Donger.

The three of them confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the items in the storage soul guide and nodded.

The expression on the middle-aged man's face suddenly relaxed. He pulled up the cloak behind him, waved at them, walked away quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.

At this time, several people also appeared in the darkness, disappeared into the darkness, and followed the middle-aged man.

……

On the other side, in the lobby of the Qingse Hotel, just as Wang Lin finished his dinner, the soul guide elevator inside the lobby opened directly.

A handsome old man with white hair and fluttering white beard walked in the front row. When he saw Wang Lin, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Behind him was a group of strong men in black.

"Your Highness, you are here." The white-haired old man stepped forward and bowed.

Wang Lin glanced at him, but did not stand up. He asked in a cold voice, "Nangong Wan, when are we leaving?"

The old man called Nangong Wan by Wang Lin is the second elder of the Holy Spirit Church and also the current leader of the Xishui League.

“It’s almost time, Your Highness, the Saint Son. We can explain once Tang Si and Tang Wu arrive.” Nangong Wan said truthfully. The Tang Si and Tang Wu he mentioned were naturally He Cai Tou and Huo Yuhao in disguise.
