When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 48 Rules are rules
【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: Whispering.

The "Mouth King" sent another file to Bai Ze.

After Bai Ze opened it and read it, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

He replied directly to the message: "Isn't this a bit too hurtful to him?"

[The King of Verbal Criticism]: A small punishment serves as a warning.

At the end, a small emoji of someone wearing sunglasses was added.

Bai Ze looked at the reply and didn't know how to respond.

If this minor punishment serves as a warning, it will definitely deter the other party from ever resorting to such underhanded tactics again.

He reviewed the document again, marveling at the ingenuity of this so-called little tool, and at the same time—

If you can come up with this method immediately, you, the king of verbal sparring, still say that your martial arts skills are not high?

Bai Ze had previously thought that martial arts masters might not be so free, but now he's starting to doubt the identity of the "King of Verbal Strength."

Just then, the "King of Mouth" sent another message: "Someone has exposed Kim Jung-jae's underhanded tactics on the forum. It seems there are quite a few discerning people out there."

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: After all, it's a grand event that all the young people of Dongxia are involved in.

Generally speaking, martial artists of four stars or above rarely participate in StarNet battles anymore, because the realism of StarNet is limited to 80%, which is ultimately different from reality for four-star martial artists.

These differences were keenly perceived, so much so that the assistance provided by StarNet battles was different from when it was still weak.

Therefore, it's rare to see expert comments on the forum.

Of course, those big shots who surf the internet under a pseudonym don't count.

However, this competition is not only related to Mu Yaoguang, but also a grand event in which all underage martial artists in Dongxia participate, so those high-level martial artists naturally pay attention as well.

Sure enough, Kim Jong-jae's underhanded tactics were quickly exposed on the forum.

Title: "Slut, you and your petty cleverness make me laugh."

The post details Kim Jong-jae's unusual behavior and speculates about the forbidden techniques he used.

【善哉善哉】: Hmm... This is very Slut.

[Citizen of the First Ancient Kingdom in the Universe]: Upstairs, this doesn't seem to violate any rules, right?
【Slu's Rebirth】: Although I feel this is inappropriate, since it does not violate the rules, it is permissible.

[Roar of the Evil Dragon]: The villain has already jumped out on his own.

[Fist to Fist]: I thought Night Rain's Scent was already despicable enough, but I didn't expect there to be a master like him. No, calling Night Rain's Scent an invincible scoundrel is an insult to him.

【The training I received from my childhood has caused me great suffering】: I'm sorry, but that's just how we Slu people are.

······
The replies to the post kept refreshing, and new related posts kept appearing. For a time, the popularity of this post even surpassed that of Xi Yuheng's Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Sword, leaving the discussion about Xi Yuheng far behind.

Yuqing Heavy Industry seems to be trying to salvage the situation for their spokesperson, but the posts they generate are drowned out by a sea of ​​condemnations against Kim Jung-jae.

The "Mouth King" sent another message: "With such high popularity, Kim Jung-jae might be pressured not to use those underhanded tactics. It's a pity we can't punish him with those little tools."

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: With such high popularity, I don't need to pretend to be a virtuous gentleman anymore. Even if it's a bit too hurtful to Kim Jung-jae, there are always netizens defending me, hehehe.

[King of Verbal Confidence]: ·····
Time slipped away amidst the online chatter, and it slowly came to four o'clock in the afternoon.

In a real competition, there would usually be one elimination match per day to allow injured participants time to recover and heal. But StarNet clearly doesn't have this concern.

So, after a short break, the second knockout round began.

6:10 pm.

Bai Ze and his opponent appeared simultaneously on the second arena, while thousands of people filled the audience seats. Unlike the first match, this time the audience was not only packed, but their voices were also far louder, creating a tremendous roar.

Bai Ze estimated that there were countless other people watching the match outside the stands.

'I wonder if Yuqing Heavy Industry's advertising department will cry their eyes out.' Bai Ze watched this scene, and a nonsensical thought suddenly popped into his mind.

With more people coming here to watch, fewer people are coming to see Xi Yuheng.

This time, Xi Yuheng's advertising effect is likely to exceed Yuqing Heavy Industry's expectations.

[Three minutes to prepare.]

A gentle voice from the StarNet rang out at the opportune moment, followed immediately by a mocking voice from the other end, "You're weaker than me, so you fabricate rumors to frame me? Do you think I'll be held back by your slander?"

Bai Ze: “?”

He looked at Kim Jung-jae opposite him, who was wearing a white outfit similar to a taekwondo uniform and was looking at him with an arrogant expression.

His words were a bit puzzling.

Bai Ze felt that this might be a psychological tactic employed by the other party.

Putting aside the facts, directly labeling the online condemnation as rumors and identifying the poster as Bai Ze is an act of shamelessness that would enrage any normal person.

If this is a psychological tactic, then it is indeed a good one.

The person who carried out this plan must have been a very capable individual, as it requires extremely high psychological qualities.

However, based on Bai Ze's understanding of the Slu people, their shamelessness didn't seem to be feigned.

Seeing that Bai Ze did not answer, Kim Jung-jae revealed a mocking smile and continued, "It's too late to be afraid now. I will use my full strength to let you know that petty tricks are useless in the face of absolute power."

Kim Jung-jae had also investigated Baek Taek.

Although Bai Ze's "Qi Guan Chang Hong" has strong explosive power, it is definitely not as strong as that kind of life-or-death forbidden technique. He was able to win against Lin Yunlan earlier only by seizing the initiative with his ferocious offensive. Once he encounters a stronger version of himself, it will be like an ant trying to shake a tree, laughable and presumptuous.

Moreover, his words had clearly shaken the other party's mindset.

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Ze suddenly spoke.

"No way, they're making me play against a woman again in the second match."

Bai Ze looked at the other person's delicate and fair face and made a helpless expression.

These words were more powerful than Kim Jong-jae's previous remarks, and the surrounding audience burst into laughter.

"Xiba!"

Kim Jong-jae's "pretty face" immediately turned red, and he shouted, "I'm a man, a man! Don't you have eyes?"

"Really?" Bai Ze looked doubtful. "I don't believe it."

The six simple words seemed to carry a strong sarcasm; if it weren't for the preparation time, Kim Jung-jae might have already charged forward.

"Damn it! Can't you recognize my voice?" Kim Jung-jae roared.

His voice deepened with anger, and it was unmistakably a man's voice.

Bai Ze didn't pretend not to know, but instead apologized frankly, saying, "So you really are a man. I'm sorry, brother, I didn't recognize you before because you really do look a little effeminate."

As he spoke, Bai Ze made a hand gesture.
