Chapter 151 - Defend and Contend (2/2)

Hearing what Gao Ge said, Yue Xincheng becomes perturbed.

“Actually, it is not as bad as you imagine.” Liu Zhongyi says smilingly.

“Oh yeah?”

“The judges, who are the teachers and the members of the Dragon Court, are not fools. It is impossible that they don’t realize what you just mentioned. They just believe that by doing so time can be saved. They will take various factors into consideration and give the most impartial score.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble and feels a bit relieved.

According to Liu Zhongyi, such a way of competition is okay anyway.

As long as the judges are sane, there shouldn’t be any injustice then.

“Mr. Liu, is weapon allowed in the contest?” Yue Xincheng asks.

Liu Zhongyi looks at Yue Xincheng and says out of surprise, “Didn’t your teacher tell you that?”

“Ahem, I was in a daze…” Yue Xincheng says, “Moreover, I often skip classes.”

Liu Zhongyi finds it both funny and annoying, saying, “Weapon is allowed in the contest. After all, some students major in swordsmanship. If weapon is forbidden, it will be extremely unfair to them. Nevertheless, even if they are allowed to use weapons, they cannot kill their opponents. Otherwise, they will be expelled out of the Academy. More seriously, they will be directly killed. In this case, it may be unfair to some students who practice martial arts. After all, as cultivators of martial arts, they are supposed to take down their opponents with one strike. The Academy and the Dragon Court also take that into consideration. Hence, teachers or the masters from the Dragon Court will do something about it at a critical moment. As long as the result of the contest comes out, it will be enough.”

Yue Xincheng feels increasingly confused as he listens to Liu Zhongyi.

Right then, the gong is being beaten.

Standing in the center of the stage, Meng Fang coughs and looks at the name list, who appears a bit hesitant. He raises his head to look at Gongsun Moyang and the members of the Dragon Court, calling the first name.

“The first defender, Gao Ge!”

Gao Ge is dumbfounded at the moment.

Holy sh*t…

How come he is so unlucky?

Liu Zhongyi and others are rather stunned.

“What a coincidence!”

“It’s not like that. No matter who is first called, everyone will feel it is so coincidental.”

Some start to gossip.

Gao Ge takes a deep breath and steps on the stage slowly.

Gongsun Moyang looks at the middle-aged man from the Dragon Court, saying, “Why do you do this? Obviously, Gao Ge has been taken as a target…”

The middle-aged man takes a sip of the tea and laughs, saying, “I just want to see his real capability and what his hopeless situation is like. I think the one who is highly valued by you, Mr. Lou and Xiao Linran must not be too bad. Moreover, I have a feeling that this boy has a big secret behind him.”

“A big secret?”

The middle-aged man nods his head, saying, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know he survived the exploration to the secret realm of Mount Duanlong. Everyone who has walked out of the secret realm of Mount Duanlong has gained great benefits, such as Yue Xincheng, who have opened more than 30 martial meridians. What about Gao Ge? He opened only one or two martial meridians. Don’t you feel it very strange?”

Gongsun Moyang hasn’t thought of that before but now he has realized one thing.

Maybe when Gao Ge walked out of Mount Duanlong, he has been watched by the Dragon Court.

And the reason why Tang Jiusi has been so close to Gao Ge may be that he has been ordered by his seniors.

Gao Ge standing on the stage looks at the other students.

They all stare at Gao Ge with sympathy or disdain.

The first one who steps on the stage must have done a lot of bad things in his previous life.
