"Mr. Luo, this is impossible! The lowest level of cultivation for a mid-level spirit beast is the Golden Core Stage. How could the two of them defeat a spirit beast at the Golden Core Stage with their cultivation? They must have cheated!"
Suddenly, discordant voices of doubt were heard from the crowd of people who were talking.
Gu Qingze looked closely and found another face that was unfamiliar to him.
Is your social circle so small? How come you don't know anyone?
This shouldn’t be the case. How could Chu Lingxiao know so many people? He is clearly with me every day.
So, Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao on the stage and asked him, but he didn't expect that he also shook his head.
Tsk, I don’t even know him. Could he be some unknown troublemaker?
However, it is actually reasonable to have doubts. Ever since Chu Lingxiao showed him the mid-level spirit beast crystal core, he guessed that there would be doubts during today's verification. After all, there is a big gap between his cultivation level and that of the spirit beast, and the way he obtained it can be considered a trick.
The student who had raised the question walked out slowly and stood on the platform in front.
"Keduo, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Yue's voice came from the audience, and his tone seemed very dissatisfied.
"What should I do? Mr. Luo also said that the entire trial process will be fair and just. Is there anything wrong with me raising questions?"
Keduo looked at Mr. Luo on the stage, and noticing the gazes of the people around him, he nodded slightly to express his attitude.
"That mid-level spirit beast crystal core came from the Wood Ape King. I was there when Gu Qingze hunted it. He used a spirit storage bead to accomplish this. The trial rules don't prohibit the use of external forces, so this is at most a trick, not cheating at all."
Zhou Yue deliberately raised his voice and looked at the teacher while saying these words.
Mr. Luo nodded, agreeing with what he said.
When Keduo saw Mr. Luo nod, his face turned red instantly, as if he was a little irritated.
"Since using external force isn't considered cheating, then everyone should just use it. There's no need to compete at all."
Although Keduo was refuting Zhou Yue's words, his eyes were looking at Gu Qingze.
"Keduo, didn't you use it? Didn't everyone here bring the best things from their homes? You're just jealous. If you also had a Spirit Storage Pearl, or even something better than one, would you still stand up and question it today?"
Su Ming also spoke sarcastically.
"If you think Zhou Yue's evidence alone is insufficient, then I'll also serve as a guarantor."
"Stop talking nonsense. Everyone in the academy knows that you and Zhou Yue are good brothers. Aren't you just saying whatever he says?"
"Since Mr. Luo thinks it's okay, let's not be so picky."
"Yes, yes."
………………
The people in the audience actually didn’t care that much about this matter. After all, only the top three teams would get rewards, and they wouldn’t get anything. Compared to this, they cared more about finishing the event early and going home to rest.
The reason why Keduo raised such doubts was because their team was ranked fourth.
There was no room for doubt about the second and third place rankings and the number of crystal cores obtained. He had originally given up hope, but when he heard that Chu Lingxiao's team had a mid-level spirit beast crystal core, he suddenly found room for maneuver and his hope was rekindled.
As long as Chu Lingxiao's team's results are invalidated and they are judged to have cheated, his team can enter the top three and be qualified to enter the second trial, and the chance of being selected by a major sect will be even greater.
So, he mustered up the courage to question, but he didn't expect everyone to refute him. He was a little angry and wanted to say something more.
Suddenly, his hand was held by a slender and soft little hand.
"Okay, Xiao Ke, stop talking. Fourth place isn't bad either."
A young girl said softly, giving him a reassuring smile.
"But……"
Keduo wanted to say something, but when he saw her eyes, he finally shut his mouth.
In fact, he worked so hard to qualify for the second round because he didn't want to disappoint her expectations of him, but he didn't expect that he would still disappoint her.
