Chapter 116
The unexpected ending made everyone excited.
The Internet was full of news about Xia Yan and Huo Ruihe. The photo of him kneeling on one knee to take the oath was circulated wildly, and some people even secretly started to eat sugar.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xia Yan's reputation will reach its peak after this battle.
However...
a pile of strange papers suddenly fell from the sky, fluttering like snowflakes, and could be seen everywhere. A middle-aged man suddenly stood up with a sharp voice: "Xia Yan Gardner is a liar, he is not S-level at all."
"This game is just a show between the two of them."
"Huo Ruihe is stronger than him."
"They deceived everyone!!!"
Cameras came from all directions and projected the man's face onto the big screen.
He shuddered, then quickly reacted, staring into the camera, and raised the document in his hand: "It's written clearly here. Xia Yan only tested A-level mental power back then, and only reached the false S-level by drinking banned drugs."
The interstellar camera does not flip the image, and every word is clearly visible.
The audience looked down at the paper full of evidence.
People on the Internet were taking screenshots crazily.
The young man stood under the spotlight, lowering his eyes, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He picked up a piece of white paper with the same words written on it.
Huo Ruihe stood beside him, his expression shocked: "...Xia Yan?"
"..."
Xia Yan threw away the paper, raised his eyebrows, and clapped his hands vigorously as if he had touched something dirty. He said word by word: "Nonsense."
The copy of the white paper was indeed the evidence of the original owner sneaking into the black market and buying banned drugs.
But after so many years, who can prove that the child in the black robe is him? Just relying on the oral statement of the drug seller? As the saying goes, innocent until proven guilty, as long as you don't admit it, this matter does not exist.
Of course, Xia Yan knew that things would definitely not end so easily.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man saw his response and couldn't wait to shout: "Then do you dare to conduct a mental test in front of everyone?"
Xia Yan: "..."
After the original owner took drugs, although his own strength was not as good as S-level, it was above A-level. The machine detection defaulted to S, otherwise he would not have been able to deceive everyone for so long.
But the man in front of him looked so confident that Xia Yan felt a little uneasy.
He asked the system: [I remember that there was no such plot originally. The plot is going to collapse. What should I do? ? ? ]
After three seconds of silence, the system spoke faintly, [It's not the first time it has collapsed. ]
[...]
[Anyway...as long as your mission is completed, it will be fine. ]666 Thinking of Ian who intercepted the spaceship and Huo Ruihe who swore in public, they are now completely lying down.
Xia Yan's mouth twitched.
Very good, the system has given up on treatment.
He opened the system panel in his mind, looking at Task 6 and Task 7 which had not been refreshed. If nothing unexpected happens, the last task is also related to the Mecha League.
As long as he can finally participate in the league, the collapse of the rest will not have any impact.
As for the original owner's reputation, it has always been very bad in the original plot. Although no one knows why it has inexplicably improved, even if something has really been found out now, it can be regarded as a return to the original plot.
The middle-aged man was still shouting: "Xia Yan, you have been silent all the time, are you afraid?"
The big screen was cleverly divided into two parts.
One part was the man's distorted and ugly face; the other part was the young man's beautiful and almost perfect face, and both sides occupied half of the country.
The first impression is very important.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, the people present first developed disgust for the middle-aged man.
"Can this guy talk properly?"
"We have just seen Xia Yan's strength. He is obviously very powerful. Even among S-level, he is one of the few strong ones. He insisted on saying that it was a show. It's too much."
"Why didn't he say it earlier or later? He had to wait until the battle was over before showing up. It was obviously intentional."
"By the way... do you feel that this scene is familiar?" The military academy students who were watching asked, "When Xia Yan first fought in actual combat, he was brilliant, and there were also idiots who reported him for cheating."
"It's exactly the same process!"
Everyone sighed.
The middle-aged man almost froze when he heard these words.
Do you have to look at his appearance so much?
He is not ugly, but he is indeed a little different from Xia Yan...
He was worried that if he let everyone talk, he would not be able to complete the task assigned by his master, so he bit the bullet and sneered: "You are timid and dare not test. Are you tacitly agreeing with what I said?"
"Oh! Who dares not? Come and test it now."
Since Grover had prepared in advance, someone soon moved the new machine over. Xia Yan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar equipment in front of him and asked in confusion: "Is this a testing machine?"
"Yes." The staff answered, "The research institute has produced a more accurate testing machine and sent one to the school for the students to use."
Xia Yan: "..."
Sure enough, it was waiting for him here.
But at this point, he couldn't back down.
The testing machine is a large silver-white cylinder with a height of three meters and a diameter of one meter. As soon as people walked in, they were surrounded by a faint blue light.
On the external monitor, a dark blue line went straight through C-level, B-level, and then stopped after reaching A-level.
Everyone: "!!!"
The middle-aged man laughed triumphantly: "I said he was--" Fake.
Before he finished the last two words, the blue line seemed to have rested enough, and it jumped over A-level, went straight to S-level, and rushed up again!
???
Everyone watched the screen with bated breath.
It was only then that they discovered that the new machine had two more levels.
SS-level and SSS-level.
"...SS?"
"No, it's SSS!!!"
"Damn! So strong!! No wonder he has always been the chief, he deserves it!!!"
Xia Yan couldn't hear what was said outside. After entering the detection machine, he felt as if he was wrapped in a gentle water, and the whole person was very relaxed.
[Host!!!]
[Hmm?] Who is calling him.
[Host, wake up quickly!!! It's broken! You can't be so strong! Hurry up and reduce your mental power!!]
The system's persistent shouting woke Xia Yan from his magical state. He asked in his mind: [What's wrong?]
[We made a mistake.] 666 Cangsang lit a cigarette, [Mental power is determined by the state of the soul. You have traveled through two worlds, and your soul power has been trained. It is already different from the original owner.]
There were signs of this matter a long time ago.
Every time Xia Yan competed with Ian, the wins and losses were 50-50.
He was the protagonist of the novel, the son of destiny. Even if his strongest talent was in mecha design, he should not be defeated by a fake S-class.
It's just that Xia Yan and the system were blinded by one thing and didn't think it through.
The reputation of cannon fodder can be bad, but it can't be good.
Xia Yan seemed to understand: [So what should I do now? ]
[You try to take back some of your mental power. ]
[... I'll try. ] Xia Yan said without much confidence.
He also had a vague understanding of mental power, so he simply treated the detector as a mecha, tentatively taking it back, releasing it, and taking it back again... Um! It's not easy to control.
So, the outside world saw... the blue bar went up and down like a bungee, jumping back and forth between D and SSS.
?
The scene fell silent for a while, and after a long time, someone trembled and said: "Is this detector broken?"
*
Grover's mood, like the blue bar, jumped up and down rapidly.
Xia Yan was stopped by the people he arranged. When they detected his spirit, he was secretly proud, thinking that he could defeat him completely in the future and the throne would be within his reach.
But when he detected SSS-level mental power, Grover was dumbfounded.
His heart was full of shock.
It was not until later that he was sure that the detection machine was broken that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was a pity that it did not develop according to his plan, it was better than Xia Yan was really SSS-level. In any case, the seeds of doubt had been planted, and Xia Yan would face no shortage of rumors.
As for the Huo family... I wanted to win them over before, but now it seems there is no chance.
Ina was drinking tea and suddenly said, "I remember that the machine in the institute was a semi-finished product. How did it appear in the school?"
Grover was shocked, but said calmly, "Dr. Bolton sent it here specially for the students to try. If there is anything wrong, please give feedback to help them further improve the program."
The woman smiled at him and said meaningfully, "Grover, you know a lot about the institute."
"..." Grover had cold sweat on his forehead and tried to speak in a calm voice, "Because my spiritual level is not high, I also hoped that technology could change my situation, so I paid some attention to this aspect."
The word "also" was used very subtly.
Everyone present was an old fox, how could they not understand his hidden message?
Duke Xia's mouth corners slightly turned down, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. What a pity, why didn't he kill him before?
"The case of Xia Yan has not been concluded yet. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be so impatient to convict him now?" Huo Shan looked at Grover with a smile.
Grover: "...I'm sorry, I used the wrong words."
No matter what, Huo Shan is a close minister of the king and one of his most trusted people. Grover will not quarrel with Huo Shan in front of the king. And the queen... has already criticized him twice today.
It was Xia Yan who was caught up in the rumors, but he felt like a mountain was pressing on his head, making him breathless.
