Chapter 36: Unprovoked Enmity

  "Boom..."

  After a moment of stunned silence, the entire stadium erupted in a cacophony of gasps.

  Those spectators had just thought that Zhang Shan was going to be defeated under Guan Ye's Fusion of Soul and Spirit, but unexpectedly the situation reversed in an instant, and Zhang Shan turned the tide with a fierce and unparalleled killing move.

  "Senior brother, how did Zhang Shan manage to do that? I only saw a flash of light, what exactly was the move, it's so fierce?"

  There were students with lower boundaries who couldn't see Zhang Shan's move clearly and asked the senior student next to them.

  "It was just one sword move, but it was too fast and too powerful. I could only barely see a glimpse of the sword's shadow. It's truly terrifying. I think everyone has underestimated Zhang Shan."

  The student with a slightly stronger boundary muttered in response.

  And now the other six contestants also had different expressions on their faces, all secretly wondering if they could have handled this move if it were them.

  Shentu Sheng's eastern face sank like water, and Zhang Shan's strength had obviously increased greatly again, which made him have to reconsider his next strategy.

  "Zhang Shan, you were once a fellow student, but your actions are so ruthless and poisonous, greatly violating the martial arts principles of our school." The judge rebuked coldly.

  Zhang Shan sneered, "Guan Ye applied for a life-or-death warrant yesterday. I'm afraid he's been wanting to get rid of me all along. He can kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill him? What kind of logic is this?"

  The judge hummed and said: "Since you can easily behead him, it's clear that you have spare energy. Don't you know the principle of sparing people when you should?"

  "He just used the Soul Fusion Spirit Technique with all his might, obviously wanting to die together with me. And that move was incredibly powerful. If I had held back, it would have been suicidal. His life is a life, but mine isn't?"

  Zhang Shan retorted fearlessly to the referee.

  He was as clear as a mirror in his heart, the last time he took part in the annual examination of the Academy, the judge was biased towards his opponent, and this time it was the same, however, since he had signed the life-and-death certificate, he occupied the moral high ground, so he was not afraid of the judge's blame.

  Since you're already being unreasonable, I, Zhang Shan, don't need to be polite to you. If others won't give me justice, then I'll take up my sword and get it myself.

  The judge's face turned red with anger, just as he was about to say something else, Zhang Shan interrupted: "Please announce the result of the match, there are still people waiting behind."

  "Indeed arrogant!"

  At this time, a cold and dissatisfied voice came from the viewing platform.

  Zhang Shan looked up towards the rostrum and found that the one who had spoken was none other than the Supervising Envoy, Ma Qingyi.

  At this time, the supervisor was looking down on him with a condescending gaze, Zhang Shan's heart sank involuntarily, and an ominous thought arose in his mind.

  "I asked Master Yan about the students' situation after arriving at the academy yesterday, and I heard that the current top disciple Zhang Shan is arrogant and disrespectful to his elders. Today, I saw him and indeed it's true."

  Zhang Shan's eyelid twitched, his face expressionless, but his heart had already stirred up a huge wave. "Could it be that the Shentu family has bribed the supervisor? How is this possible? If they really have such energy, why would Shentu Shengdong need to participate in the selection match?"

  Just as he was at a loss, the supervisor, Ma Qingyi, hummed and said: "As the supervisor of the sect's selection competition, I have the responsibility to select talents for the sect, and also have the obligation to dismiss those with inferior character."

  He paused for a moment, then said sternly: "Contestant Zhang Shan, for being ruthless to his fellow disciples and having a poisonous heart, as well as showing no respect to his elders, is truly worrying. I hereby decide to disqualify Zhang Shan from this selection, to observe the outcome later."

  Zhang Shan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, his whole body chilled to the bone. Half a moment later, he clenched his fists tightly, and endless anger surged up in his heart.

  This person who is biased and distorts the truth is actually the supervisor this time? And all my efforts, as well as my future fate, are being vetoed by his single sentence.

  With great effort, Zhang Shan controlled his almost out-of-control emotions, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Master Ma, I and Guan Ye are voluntary life-and-death duel, there is no violation of the rules. Based on this to cancel my selection qualification, I do not accept."

  Ma Qingyi smiled and said, "I didn't say you broke the rules, and I didn't punish you for killing Guan Ye either. However, as the host, I have the right to disqualify contestants with a bad heart. So, you lost your qualification not because you killed someone, but because your nature is not suitable for our sect, Wen Tian Sect. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

  Zhang Shan felt a surge of anger, as if he wanted to tear the person apart. He was now 100% sure that this person had been targeting him in various ways, and it must be due to some underlying reason.

  Perhaps this person had made up his mind from the start not to let himself get the entrance quota of Wēn Tiān Zōng.

  Even if it wasn't this matter, they would use another thing to label him as having a bad attitude and use that as an excuse to cancel his participation.

  At this time, the audience also tasted the abnormality of this matter. The supervisor made it clear that Ma Qingyi was just looking for an excuse to target Zhang Shan, but he did have the right to make such a decision.

  Even if he did wrong, it would be after the selection match ended and then the sect's law enforcement hall would punish him. In any case, the result of Zhang Shan being disqualified from this selection will not change.

  Unless Zhang Shan has a strong backstage in the Wenhua Sect, no one would go to great lengths to reorganize the competition. A small character like him is not worth it.

  The audience looked at Zhang Shan with a pitiful gaze, all secretly wondering when he had offended the supervisor, and why that official would still make such a biased decision despite the sect's punishment after the match.

  "Calm down, host. I think this matter is not ordinary. The Shentu family shouldn't have such energy, and Shentu Shengdong's current expression is also extremely surprised. The water behind this matter is probably very deep. Losing this qualification may not be a bad thing for the host."

  Zhang Shan's mind cleared, and his eyes involuntarily swept towards Shen Tusheng Dong. Indeed, as Bie Ling said, Shen Tusheng Dong's eyes were shocked and confused, apparently also unclear about what was happening.

  Zhang Shan let out a long sigh, as if to vent all the grievances in his chest, then loosened his tightly clenched fists and turned silently to walk down from the arena.

  It's come to this, arguing is useless now, might as well go back and make early plans.

  "Wait a minute."

  A pleasant and harmonious voice sounded from the rostrum.

  Zhang Shan's body shook slightly. This voice, he had heard it in that cave in the Tianqing Mountains, and it was precisely Fang Yiru's moving tone.

  "Master Ma, I think you're being a bit biased towards this young man. Although he does have a strong killing aura, the situation was critical just now and it's normal for him to strike heavily. As for accusing him of having a cruel and poisonous heart, I disagree."

  Fang Yiru carefully considered her words before speaking to Ma Qingyi.

  Zhang Shan suddenly turned his head and looked at the beautiful figure on stage, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart that he hadn't saved the wrong person, as the beauty spoke up for him.

  As one of the two supervising envoys, as long as she insisted on opposing him, Ma Qingyi would not be able to dominate everything.
