Sign In To The Goddess Harem In Douluo

Chapter -77.

The audience's voices became increasingly loud, and Shui Bing'er, resting in Ye Chen's embrace, suddenly felt quite embarrassed, her pale ears turning as red as an apple, making one want to take a bite.

"How about we get up and just have some fun, and then I'll let you win? Anyway, there's still the elimination round; I can just compete again in a few days."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's suggestion, Shui Bing'er nodded, but quickly shook her head and replied, "No, you're already stronger than I am. Even if I represent Tianshui Academy in the finals, I would still lose to you, right? Besides, Prince Qinghe needs reputation the most right now. If your Imperial Academy can keep winning, it would be beneficial for him too."

"Oh, why are you so concerned about Qinghe? Do you have feelings for him?"

"I don't."

Shui Bing'er glared at Ye Chen, then secretly thought, "I clearly said that the person I like is you, you blockhead."

With her fair and slender hand, she tapped Ye Chen's chest, then after getting up, she once again unleashed her freezing skill.

Ye Chen also cooperatively froze in place. After waiting for several seconds, he broke free from the ice and gently struck out a palm towards the front.

Perhaps because the force was too light, Ye Chen's palm hit a bit off-target, merely brushing against the edge of Shui Bing'er's clothing and perfectly missing.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er didn't hold back, letting out an "Aiya" as she automatically took a few steps back and slowly fell to the ground, even rolling over a few times before speaking harshly, "So strong, but our Tianshui Academy will not admit defeat. Just wait, uh!" To make it look convincing, she even forced a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Senior sister!"

The other four girls from Tianshui rushed over, helping Shui Bing'er up, intending to attack Ye Chen.

However, their cultivation levels were simply too low. As Ye Chen slightly activated his Illusory Fox Eye, they lost their combat ability.

At the same time, the audience erupted in an astonishing roar.

"Damn, this is an obvious fixed match! Referee, I request that both sides be disqualified from the competition."

"Oh my, I finally remembered how to sing that lyric, 'I act as if I don't see what you're performing,' this line is so fitting."

"It's hard to imagine that the seven beauties of Tianshui Academy have such poor acting skills. Let's not even talk about those girls who fainted without being touched; just take that masked woman for example. I really want to ask, did that punch from the shadow really hit you? I'm blind."

"No wonder the Morning Snow Imperial Academy only sent one person to the promotion match; it turns out that too many people would ruin the performance, right?"

In the audience, almost all the spectators began shouting. They couldn't accept the outcome of this match. If they had to describe it with one word, it would be 'fake.' It was just too damn fake; if those people on stage became actors, they would definitely win awards.

The competition was questioned, and the organizer, the Tiandou Empire, immediately sent a few people to the main arena to investigate. However, they soon discovered that the six women who had fainted and lost their fighting ability were indeed unconscious, and the blood at the corner of the masked Shui Bing'er's mouth was real.

Thus, the female host who received the results of the inspection immediately soared into the sky and announced loudly: "The competition has always been fair and just. The fainted disciples from the Tianshui Academy have been tested and are indeed genuine; they were not drugged or acting. Therefore, the result of the first qualifying match is: the Chenxue Imperial Academy wins!"

Upon hearing this explanation, most were willing to believe it, as the testing personnel represented the fairness of the empire. However, some people still refused to accept the truth, stubbornly believing that everything was fake, and no matter who explained it, it was useless.

But the doubts of these spectators had no effect; Chenxue Imperial Academy remained the victor.

Unlike the audience, some dignitaries in the VIP seats, such as Ning Fengzhi and Salas from the Spirit Hall, felt somewhat unsatisfied, thinking the match was too childish. After exchanging glances, the few people in the high VIP seats approached the Snow Night Emperor and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, since the shadow from that academy is so strong, why not let him fight again? After all, they still have several matches to play in the qualifying rounds, so it wouldn't hurt to give them another chance."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Night Emperor was somewhat displeased and frowned slightly, replying, "The rules of the competition were agreed upon by us together; how can we change them just like that? Moreover, while that shadow is strong, it is not appropriate for one person to compete against two major academies consecutively; he is still just a child under 15 years old."

"Uh…" The crowd, including Ning Fengzhi and Salas, appeared speechless upon hearing this. In the Douluo Continent, it was common for those who became soul masters to marry at the age of 13 or 14. Child? The Emperor seems to have some misunderstanding about this term.

"Why not let the shadow fight again? It wouldn't hurt."

Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, walked over, slightly bowed to the Snow Night Emperor, and then looked at Ning Fengzhi and Salas, smiling slightly, "Of course, another match is possible, but it doesn't conform to the rules. However, this prince prefers to give the shadow some incentive, as it would both soothe the public and enhance the excitement of the competition. What do you think?"

"Good! Haha, as expected of my son, the future king of Tiandou."

The Snow Night Emperor laughed heartily, growing increasingly fond of Qinghe. The soul awakening plan he proposed had been implemented in the Tiandou Empire for over a year, and in such a short time, the number of good talents with innate soul power above level 6 received by the Royal Academy had already far exceeded that of the previous ten years, greatly enriching the foundation of future talents for the empire.

Moreover, Qinghe's proposal of equal treatment for nobles and commoners had broken countless years of ancient order, causing public sentiment in the Tiandou Empire to shift from the Spirit Hall to the empire itself. Such a grand achievement was comparable to that of the Holy King Emperor.

Originally, the implementation of such a good system faced strong opposition from many high-ranking nobles, but the Snow Night Emperor was already in the past, and the future depended on Qinghe's support. Therefore, to help his son, he was willing to go all out, directly using imperial authority to threaten and suppress opposition, which led to successful implementation.

But the results were always good. Today, the public sentiment of the Tiandou Empire was favorable, and those nobles dared not act recklessly, thus resolving the potential threats accumulated by the royal family over the years, which was a significant achievement.

For such an outstanding son, the Snow Night Emperor, without waiting for Ning Fengzhi and the others to agree, smiled and said, "It's settled then. Since all your sects want to see it, it wouldn't be right not to put in a little effort."

Upon hearing this, Salas first nodded in agreement, but soon he spoke again: "Putting in some effort is fine, but this 'effort' must be worthwhile, so I would like to change the rules of the qualifying match."

"Oh? Since the elder has special ideas for a new match, why not share them?"

The Snow Night Emperor did not oppose and instead looked at Salas with interest, his murky eyes filled with curiosity.
