Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Chapter 243 Yan: Sometimes Victory or Defeat Doesn't Happen on the Field

The core of the Spirit Hall Elite Team consists of three people.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

Therefore, the tactical approach to dealing with the Spirit Hall's elite team is to hinder the performance of these three individuals as much as possible, making them feel uncomfortable in various ways.

Now that the Evil Blade Lord has been broken up and split into two, Yan and Xie Yue, it means that Chen Feng's tactical strategy has been a great success and that he has won the game.

The three tactical objectives set before the match were to prevent the fusion of the demons, to use Dai Mubai and Gu Yueling as the main warriors to resist the Evil Blade Lord, and to eliminate the rest of the Spirit Hall elite team from the field. Two and a half of the three objectives were achieved.

Although the objective was not perfectly achieved, the two support-type characters of the Spirit Hall elite team successfully escaped the concentrated fire, which allowed them to assist the Evil Blade Lord in launching a counterattack. However, this was not a major issue.

Because Chen Feng successfully realized his pre-conception plan for the Soul Master Competition: to win the championship without revealing any deadly secrets.

What are deadly things?

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, Xiao Wu and Gu Yueling's soul beast identities, and Chen Feng's external soul bone.

Once these things are exposed, it will mean considerable trouble.

Chen Feng's external soul bone is actually not too bad; it's just that it's easy for it to attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives. If someone wants to snatch it, then let's have a real fight, and the treasure will belong to the virtuous one.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer is a bit troublesome. Once it is exposed, the Spirit Hall will definitely find an opportunity to take action, because the former Pope of the Spirit Hall died openly from the Clear Sky Hammer.

No matter how much Bibi Dong hates Qian Xunji to the bone, she still has to make a statement, because she doesn't have the ability to act recklessly yet, and many eyes are watching her.

But this matter is easy to resolve. As long as someone has the combat power of a Title Douluo and can survive the assassination attempt by the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall will no longer be able to openly take action.

Just like in the original novel, when Yue Guan and Gui Mei ambushed Tang San on the road, they were driven back by Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and Ning Fengzhi. After that, the Spirit Hall did not dare to kill anyone in Spirit City.

The most dangerous thing is Xiao Wu and Gu Yueling's identities. Once exposed, they will be in deep trouble. The Spirit Hall can use this as an excuse to kill people openly and legitimately, and no one can say anything against it.

Even other forces will be tempted to act, because hunting soul beasts is currently the politically correct thing to do, not to mention the huge profits that can be made.

Faced with the benefits of a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, how many people could resist the temptation?

Therefore, if you want to avoid trouble, you must never let Xiao Wu and Gu Yueling be exposed.

But how to describe their personalities? They're both equally reckless.

Xiao Wu is like a honey badger turned into a spirit, daring to confront anyone. Gu Yueling is no better; as a mythical beast transformed into a human, she clearly doesn't understand the concepts of patience and tact.

Even ten thousand years from now, she will still be just as fierce.

Fortunately, Gu Yueling's skill in concealing her aura came from the ferocious beasts. During the second era of Douluo Continent, she repeatedly jumped around in front of the Super Douluo without dying. It is impossible for anyone in this era to see through her true form.

Xiao Wu's technique for concealing her aura was developed for her by Chen Feng. As long as she doesn't confront Bibi Dong directly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After the Evil Blade Lord was defeated, Yan and Xie Yue both fell into a coma. They had many injuries, mainly from Dai Mubai and Gu Yueling. Chen Feng and Xiao Wu also contributed during the subsequent siege phase.

However, with the healing-type Soul Masters prepared by the Spirit Hall present, Yan and Xie Yue's injuries were quickly healed, and they should wake up soon.

Because Hu Liena's injuries were less severe, she woke up faster than the other two.

Hu Liena seemed somewhat unwilling to accept the defeat. She did not believe that her team was weaker than her opponents. If she could have positioned herself in the back row and successfully merged with Yan and Xie Yue to create "Enchantress", Hu Liena believed that the championship would have belonged to her.

Therefore, she felt that she did not lose because of a lack of ability, but because she was tricked by her opponent.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena couldn't help but glare fiercely at Chen Feng.

The college is currently celebrating while awaiting the start of the awards ceremony.

Dai Mubai wasn't yet experiencing the aftereffects of the popsicle; he was full of energy. Noticing Hu Liena's gaze, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Feng, look, Hu Liena is glaring at you."

Chen Feng glanced back, shook his head, and said:

"I guess she's still not convinced, after all, she ran into me and had no chance to do anything."

Davis came over with Zhu Zhuyun after the game and asked curiously:

"How long have you been preparing this tactic?"

"We started preparing before the competition," Chen Feng said.

"Did you know about the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation all along? You actually prepared this tactic before the match even started." Davis asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head. "Of course not. We only found out later that there were three Soul Kings in this generation of the Spirit Hall. At that time, we didn't know that they had a Spirit Fusion Skill, but we knew that the teams that made it to the end would most likely have a Spirit Fusion Skill."

Davis suddenly realized, "That's true... wait, don't you guys not have that?"

“We actually have them too. Xiao Wu and I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but we didn’t use it in the competition,” Tang San said from the side.

After the Soul Master Competition ended, they no longer needed to keep all the information to themselves. Information like the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, which wasn't too crucial, could still be discussed.

Zhu Zhuyun exclaimed in surprise:

"So you had a trump card up your sleeve? That's incredible."

"Of course, there's more. If it weren't for the fact that the Evil Blade Lord's characteristics aren't suitable for Zhu Qing to deal with, Zhu Qing's ten-thousand-year soul skill could also be shown off." Chen Feng said to Zhu Zhu Qing with a smile.

"It's nothing. As an assassin, it's not a good thing for your methods to be known." Zhu Zhuqing wasn't too concerned about not being able to play in the finals; she had already made a name for herself in the previous matches.

"Kids, you did a great job." Flander walked over with the teachers, looking very pleased with himself.

The master nodded to Chen Feng, his eyes full of approval, "Xiao Feng, your tactical arrangement was excellent, and the match was very exciting. The Spirit Hall elite team was completely contained by you throughout the game."

"It's mainly because everyone performed well," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Xiao Feng, you're being too modest. Tactically, we completely dominated them. If you hadn't locked Hu Liena in the dark room, we wouldn't have had such an easy time," Xiao Wu said loudly.

"No, stop yelling. Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wound?" Chen Feng turned around again and, sure enough, saw Hu Liena looking at him with a face full of anger, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Xiao Wu didn't care at all. "What's there to be afraid of? That Yan was so arrogant before. He not only called us weak, but also insulted the Blazing Fire Team and the Star Luo Royal Team. Now that we've won, why can't we put them down?"

"What did he say to us?" Zhu Zhuyun asked.

"Uh, it's just some unpleasant things I said," Xiao Wu said, not wanting to be too direct.

“They must be unhappy with our decision to concede. It’s okay, I knew this would happen,” Davis said calmly.

He doesn't even care about what his teammates are saying, so why would he care about the slander from the Spirit Hall and other losers?

"We can't just let them insult us. Now that we've won, we have to fight back," Xiao Wu said with a snort.

For a moment, Chen Feng found Xiao Wu's words to be quite reasonable, and he couldn't refute them at all.

At the same time, he also felt a little ashamed. Logically speaking, as a former keyboard warrior, he should have been the one to make sarcastic remarks before the match and then act arrogantly afterward, but Xiao Wu beat him to it.

Sigh, the atmosphere in Douluo Continent is so simple and honest that it has influenced me to become more refined and easygoing. Chen Feng began to reflect silently in his heart.

But then he realized that it wasn't just the prevailing social atmosphere that was influencing him; his identity might also be a factor.

As a biological pioneer and master scholar in the eyes of others, Chen Feng obviously couldn't do anything that would damage his image.

Simply put, it means they have an image to maintain.

Fortunately, we still have Xiao Wu, who can be our mouth double in the future.

Just as Chen Feng was considering how to improve Xiao Wu's laning ability, a commotion suddenly broke out from the Spirit Hall team's side.

"What's going on?" Flander frowned and looked over there.

Soon, someone from the Spirit Hall team hurried towards the VIP platform. After exchanging a few words, Chen Feng could clearly see his master and Lao Ning's brows furrow. Bibi Dong's expression, however, remained unchanged; she merely glanced in their direction.

A short while later, someone from the VIP area explained the situation: it turned out that after Yan woke up, he wanted to complain to the tournament organizers about the Hydra team's violations.

Yan believes that Chen Feng was no longer in the arena after using that special ability, so it should be considered as going out of bounds. Going back to the arena after going out of bounds to attack the Evil Blade Lord is a foul. In short, he thinks the Hydra team's results should be canceled.

Hu Liena, however, opposed Yan's actions. Although she was not entirely convinced of the defeat, she felt that Chen Feng's methods were not problematic and that Yan's approach was inappropriate.

Although Xie Yue wanted to support his sister, he also wanted to win, so he didn't express his opinion, and the other team members didn't dare to participate either.

In the end, Yan insisted on having someone file a complaint with the VIP desk.

Bibi Dong did not offer a clear opinion on the complaint, but instead sent someone to inform Hydra Academy, allowing the academy to respond to the complaint on its own.

Upon hearing what the visitor said, Xiao Wu immediately exploded.

"They're so shameless! If they can't win on the field, they resort to underhanded tactics, right? First they rigged the draw, then they tried an assassination, and now they've pulled this stunt. What's the point of holding a Soul Master Competition? They might as well just give themselves the awards!"

Her voice was already loud, and now she showed no intention of lowering it, so she immediately made a racket that many people could hear her.

In addition, other students from other colleges inquired about the matter, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire venue.

Over at the Spirit Hall team's rest area, Yan snorted after hearing Xiao Wu's rant, walked over, and sneered:

"Little girl! You'd better watch your words. The dignity of the Spirit Hall cannot be violated!"

"What a load of rubbish about dignity! If you can't win on the field, you resort to underhanded tactics off the field. You still have the nerve to talk about dignity? Bah!" Xiao Wu launched into a tirade, leaving Yan's face turning black with rage.

Tang San was worried that Yan would get angry and take action, so he pulled Xiao Wu behind him. He was also disgusted by Yan's actions, but he couldn't say that Yan was wrong according to the rules, so he couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.

Even after being pulled back, Xiao Wu continued talking non-stop, "If you want the soul bone so badly, why don't you just take the prize back? Why even bother participating in the competition? The entire competition team is your people, so stop pretending. It's disgusting! Disgusting!! Disgusting!!!"

"You!" Yan was so angry that his veins throbbed.

But then a shout from Hu Liena came from behind him:

"Come back! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

Yan held back, knowing that his previous insistence on complaining had already displeased Hu Liena, and he dared not act on his own now.

On the VIP platform, Bibi Dong glanced at Xiao Wu expressionlessly, "This little girl is quite energetic."

Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly from the side, "Your Holiness, this matter is truly absurd. She was merely speaking out of righteousness, so please do not take offense."

Bibi Dong said calmly, "I'm waiting for Hydra Academy's reply."

On the academy side, everyone was very dissatisfied.

"No way, you can do this? This is utterly shameless!" Oscar exclaimed in shock.

"Exactly, he's even more shameless than Xiao Ao," Ma Hongjun muttered from the side.

Oscar pulled out a popsicle with a blank expression. "Boss Dai, do me a favor."

Dai Mubai grabbed Ma Hongjun and, together with Oscar, stuffed a popsicle into Ma Hongjun's mouth.

"Hiss~" Ma Hongjun was immediately shivering from the cold, the sour feeling going straight to his brain.

"Wake up!" Oscar said viciously.

Chen Feng ignored the three men's playful fight and began to think about how to handle the situation at hand.

It has to be said that Yan is indeed a clever little devil. Whether it was intentional or coincidental, he accurately grasped a loophole in the rules of the Soul Master Competition.

That is, since the ability of the Reincarnation Despair has never appeared in the previous competition, there will naturally be no judgment on this aspect. The ambiguity of the judgment will leave room for manipulation.

Just as discretionary power can give some female judges the opportunity to make arbitrary judgments, cases of inconsistent rulings in similar cases occur frequently.

The character for "official" has two mouths, one above the other, and different mouths can say different things.

And who is the organizer of this Soul Master Competition? It's the Spirit Hall.

Who filed the complaint? It was the Spirit Hall Elite Team.

In this situation, the Hydra team is in an extremely unfavorable position, because the Spirit Hall is now both the athlete and the damn referee!

If the Spirit Hall were a fair and just organization, capable of truly acting impartially and without bias, then that would be fine.

However, judging from previous experiences, this is clearly impossible.

Therefore, this matter cannot be resolved according to the rules; we must find another way.

Subconsciously, Chen Feng looked at the master beside him, "Master, what do you think we should do?"

Chapter 244 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.

"This matter... is indeed somewhat tricky, and Yan has actually found an opportunity."

The master's brow was furrowed at this moment.

Clearly, he was aware of the problem.

In the absence of clear regulations in the competition, how to define Yan's complaint depends on the attitude and bias of the competition organizers.

But it's obvious that the Spirit Hall will side with its own people.

Even though Tian Dou and Xing Luo have some say, the Spirit Hall is, after all, the organizer of the tournament.

If Yan insists on sticking to his version of events, things will be difficult, and the academy may not be able to win the lawsuit.
