Chapter 151 – You, Today

<hr>

Just as he finished speaking he was immediately drowned out by Grandmaster Wu Zetian’s roars . “Struck himself? Are you trying to say that in this compet.i.tion, Jing Guanjin gave himself a heavy wound without any reason at all? Are you saying that a n.o.ble Golden Core realm master would slip like this?”

The grandmaster’s eyes were cold and dark, as if he would eat anyone who stepped in his way . “I don’t care just what sort of bribes you received . I will definitely investigate this matter . Anyone who dares to cover up the perpetrator will be my enemy!”

Committee member Goodra was pushed to the point of tears . He was someone who had a bit of status, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to become one of the committee members in something so important as the great sea spirit teacher compet.i.tion .

But in terms of wealth, status, or strength, he was nothing but a speck of dust to a Purple Card sea spirit teacher . A casual flick of the finger could grind him to bits .

“Grandmaster Wu, no matter how much courage I have I would never dare to lie to you . Jing Guanjin really did hit himself…”

Bang –

Before he could finish speaking, committee member Goodra was sent soaring backwards . His thick sh.e.l.l crashed into the hard surface of Prosperity Square, producing a series of sparks as he skidded along the ground .

Crack –

Following that, in the thick and protective sh.e.l.l that the turtle race was famous for, countless small cracks begin to appear as they spread out like a web . This horrified the other committee members, leaving them pale white . All of them gulped . Each of them thanked the heavens that they hadn’t been the one to speak, otherwise they feared they wouldn’t be alive right now .

Grandmaster Wu Zetian’s anger soared to the heavens . “Where is Chairman Xu? He must give me an explanation!”

After Goodra had been sent flying away, the intelligent Chairman Xu finally came up with an explanation .

He produced a health examination proving that Jing Guanjin had overdrawn his strength, as well as proof that his blood loss had come from a singular impact of external force .

Besides these things, there were no other injuries .

Chairman Xu held up a bloodstained spirit sh.e.l.l that was clearly of high quality and solemnly said, “Grandmaster Wu, we have made a comparison . The wound on Jing Guanjin’s forehead completely matches the shape of this spirit sh.e.l.l . Moreover, the compet.i.tion was carried out upon the altar and everything occurred in a completely sealed area . I have personally inspected the spells and found that there isn’t a problem with them .

“So, I ask that Grandmaster Wu take a look…”

Wu Zetian was shocked silly . As he thought of Jing Guanjin’s last response, the powerful strike that had been filled with confidence and vigor, he realized that it hadn’t been a finger tap at all, but a smash from the forehead!

This difference was rather large…

<hr>

His face darkened as if it would rain soon . After a long moment of silence, Grandmaster Wu grabbed the spirit sh.e.l.l, clenched his jaws, and then crushed it to powder . He turned and left .

A committee member squeaked out, “That is evidence . . . ”

Chairman Xu interrupted him . “That’s enough . It can be understood that Grandmaster Wu was momentarily overcome with anger . It’s fine as long as we can explain it . ”

That spirit sh.e.l.l was just far too volatile!

Once others learned of it, it would surely raise up a storm . He didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself so he had deliberately brought it here so that someone else could destroy it for him .

What happened was just what he hoped for .

It was unknown whether or not Jing Guanjin would live . It was already clear what the result of the compet.i.tion was . Grandmaster Wu Zetian was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a furious rage . His heart, liver, lungs, kidney, every organ in his body seemed to burn with anger . In this state, the cheers that entered his ears were especially grating and hateful . He looked up . As expected, it was people from Sea Spirit Pavilion .

A black-robed figure was being surrounded by a crowd of people and congratulated .

What an eyesore of a scene!

Grandmaster Wu Zetian’s complexion became even uglier . He walked away .

Chief Manager Wu was ecstatic . At the same time, he was also ashamed of the previous suspicions he had . He swept his eyes around and immediately tensed up .

“Greetings, Grandmaster Wu!”

For the chief manager of Sea Spirit Pavilion to give such a respectful greeting to someone named Grandmaster Wu, there was of course only one such person in the world .

The cheers quieted down and they all lowered their heads in greeting . Seeing this person’s purple robes and the Purple Card at his waist, they all felt anxious within .

After all, this figure that existed on the highest heavens was Jing Guanjin’s teacher . And, he had many negative opinions of their Sea Spirit Pavilion .

He shouldn’t have come to pick an argument, right?

And as they thought, Grandmaster Wu didn’t disappoint anyone at all . He sneered and glared at Qin Yu . “I don’t know what sort of methods you used to win, but I will surely investigate this . You had best make sure I don’t grab ahold of any weakness of yours!”

To maintain a constant high influx of energy for several hours on end, this was something that even a Purple Card couldn’t accomplish . Yet, this Ning fellow had done all of that and seemed completely relaxed at the moment . If someone had said that there wasn’t some sort of trick involved, Wu Zetian wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death .

And even if there hadn’t been any problems, with his status, this Ning fellow could only eat the insult and be suspected by others . Though this might not do anything, Wu Zetian could still feel a bit more comfortable in his heart .

It wasn’t that Wu Zetian was bored, but because he was suffocating on rage and anger . If he didn’t vent some of it, he feared he would choke to death on his fury . Only he knew what Jing Guanjin’s defeat meant and what he had lost because of it .

The Skyspirit power!

This was a dream he had chased after for countless years . It had been so close to becoming reality, but all of a sudden it had become an empty illusion . Wu Zetian already believed that he was being very civilized and self-controlled to maintain his sanity and not tear this mysterious black-robed little boy to shreds .

Just what kind of status did the ten Purple Cards possess? To the common seafolk, they were like living G.o.ds .

Thus, when Grandmaster Wu Zetian appeared with a gloomy face, the audience had earnestly quieted down . Even those who were overjoyed to see a frivolous young master like Jing Guanjin suffer had restrained themselves . Their silence was a show of respect towards Grandmaster Wu .

The audience was too far away from Grandmaster Wu, so they shouldn’t have been able hear him . But, this final compet.i.tion was too important and multiple spells had been put in place in case anyone tried to interfere with the match . Later on, inspectors would find that one of the sea spirit priests had upped the power of a sound amplifying array . It was unknown whether it was because his hand or slipped or not, but it had activated at this exact time .

Thus, everyone could hear Grandmaster Wu Zetian’s voice clearly echoing through Prosperity Square .
