At first, some people might not be convinced, because Ye Lang was just a student like them. However, facing the facts again and again, and the negative effects that the incidents brought to them, people began to admire and respect Ye Lang's judgment without a doubt.
However, as a referee, Ye Lang is not like other people who attend according to the schedule. He attends according to his own preferences and has no fixed time.
If there was a fixed pattern, it was Zhen Xiaoyan's trials. He would always attend and escort Zhen Xiaoyan, allowing her to advance smoothly. Although some people said that Ye Lang was (8 hearts), Zhen Xiaoyan also had some minor skills, and so far, no one could find a weak spot to criticize.
Today, it is Zhen Xiaoyan's trial again. Now it has evolved from the basics of pure alchemy knowledge and alchemy operations to a sparring match between the two.
This is similar to the Magic and Martial Arts Trial. Initially, basic tools are used to eliminate some people, followed by one-on-one eliminations. Of course, the academy generally separates the experts evenly, so no one expert is eliminated all at once. Of course, those who believe they have the strength to challenge the final list will also have a chance, but they must not challenge those who were ahead of them. After all, this isn't a competition, but rather a selection of the strongest among the students!
After many trials, today's trial is the key to whether Zhen Xiaoyan can enter the competition team, and her opponent today will naturally not be weak.
However, relatively speaking, her opponent was one of the strongest students among the remaining ones, and this was a sign of Ye Lang's partiality; he had chosen her specifically, and he had the authority to do so! Many people expressed dissatisfaction with this, but there was no way around it... "Hmph, you treat her like a treasure? You'll regret it sooner or later!" someone in the Alchemy Academy said through gritted teeth.
Perhaps no one had considered that, compared to the following, this level of bias was nothing more than a small matter. "The competition begins!" Ye Lang shouted, signaling the start of the two men's competition. The two men picked up the tools in front of them and began to cough one by one. In reality, they weren't fighting, but simply assembling an alchemical device!
The alchemy trial is not as intense as the magic and martial arts trial. It is all about skills, imagination, creativity and discovery. There will be no life-and-death situations.
What the two of them are competing in now is to turn some alchemical items in front of them into an alchemical device that meets the requirements in the shortest time possible. These questions are carefully designed and require a lot of knowledge, as well as the imagination and creative discovery mentioned above.
For this reason, if you use your wild imagination to create an interesting alchemical item, you may receive special treatment and will not be eliminated just because you lose to the other party. However, the prerequisite is that you must agree with the question.
Ye Lang entered the arena at the start, apparently to oversee the two competing. This had happened to him in previous matches, but that was with someone else, and Ye Lang had never left the arena. Therefore, his behavior was a bit unusual, but no one noticed. "Fatty... Hey, hey..." Ye Lang kicked Zhen Xiaoyan, then tilted his mouth, prompting her.
Damn, it’s too obvious that this guy is helping. Is there a referee like you?
Although Ye Lang's movements seemed small, as if no one could see them, but in this venue, with only three people and so many eyes watching, even the smallest movements would be seen by everyone!
What's more, Ye Lang's action was actually quite significant, and he didn't have any intention of concealing anything. It was obvious that he was helping Zhen Xiaoyan!
Therefore, after Ye Lang's action, almost everyone confirmed the previous rumors: this guy was favoring Zhen Xiaoyan and always protecting her. "???" Zhen Xiaoyan was confused for a moment, not understanding what Ye Lang was talking about. She had never thought that Ye Lang would actually do this, and so directly. "Stupid, hurry up and get that..." Ye Lang said. "Oh..." Zhen Xiaoyan responded habitually, seemingly still not reacting, simply listening to Ye Lang's words and doing what he wanted her to do. "Ye Lang, he took it away, what should I do?" Zhen Xiaoyan asked blankly. Before she could reach the tools, the enemy had already taken them.
While she was stunned, the other party wasn't. Since Ye Lang was instructing Zhen Xiaoyan, he could also accept instruction. He cleverly took it and thought later! "Forget it, take these, they're all the same anyway," Ye Lang said, pointing at some items. "Oh... wait, that's not right, Ye Lang, you're the referee, I'm the contestant, you can't teach me these things! This isn't normal!" Zhen Xiaoyan finally realized. "Who says referees can't teach? I teach if I want to, who dares to control me!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly. "..." Zhen Xiaoyan was momentarily stunned, and this situation slowed her progress. Ye Lang actually slowed her down, and even gave her opponent a clue. As a result, Ye Lang's actions backfired! "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm almost losing. Just leave me alone, I can do it!" Zhen Xiaoyan suddenly realized she shouldn't have been stunned, she was already falling behind the others, so she shouted at Ye Lang and then immersed herself in her search. "What can you do? Now hurry up and do as I say, otherwise you will lose!" Ye Lang squatted down to pick up the tools and threw them to Zhen Xiaoyan. "...No, go away!" Zhen Xiaoyan said with a headache, "I have to rely on myself!"
"Why rely on yourself? I helped you with everything in your body. It's not shameful to rely on me for help. It's impossible for others to get my help!" Ye Lang directly pulled Zhen Xiaoyan's hair and said rudely.
"I know, but I still... It's all your fault. Look at him, he's almost done! This is all your fault..." Zhen Xiaoyan saw that her opponent was almost finished, and she and Ye Lang began to get anxious. "..." At this time, the opponent was almost finished, but Zhen Xiaoyan hadn't made much progress. Even if Ye Lang took action himself, it seemed he couldn't catch up.
In addition, if Ye Lang took action, it would not comply with the most basic rule of the competition: taking action by oneself. Ye Lang would still pay attention to this point.
At this crucial moment, Ye Lang did something that stunned the entire audience. Ye Lang ran directly in front of the man, kicked the tools he had made apart, stomped on them a few times, and finally ran away... "Done, fat woman, you can continue!" Ye Lang clapped his hands and said. The whole audience was stunned...
Although everyone knew that Ye Lang was already biased, and that his bias was obvious, no one could have imagined that Ye Lang would do this and directly destroy his opponent's effectiveness!
This has reached the point of being completely unrestrained. This is a complete disregard for the rules, a disregard for his own position, and abusing his position as referee to protect Zhen Xiaoyan! This is going to cause public outrage! ! Chapter 8: The Name of the Seventh Princess "Ye Lang!! What do you mean? I can tolerate your favoritism towards Zhen Xiaoyan, but you're going too far!" The contestant, who saw victory in sight, was furious! "Sorry, I kicked you by accident," Ye Lang apologized politely. "You could have been careless? Is that even possible? Are you treating them like three-year-olds, or as dumb as you are? "Who are you kidding!!" the contestant exclaimed. "Ah, you saw through me. I did it on purpose!" Ye Lang had no choice but to honestly tell the truth, which everyone knew.
"Since you agree, you should declare me the winner!" said the contestant.
"No, I refuse!" Ye Lang said crisply.
"Why?"
"I'm a very principled referee..." Ye Lang said seriously, and this sentence attracted many people's contempt, but he ignored it and continued: "No matter what the reason, you haven't completed the trial yet, so you can't be considered a winner!" "The reason is still because of you!" "I say it again, no matter what the reason!" Ye Lang emphasized again, and then in a very deep, well, it should be pretended, he continued in this tone: "Child, remember this lesson: No matter who it is, even the closest person, even a seemingly honest and good person, may frame you and ruin your future. Never trust anyone!"
Everyone fell silent. Everyone agreed that this statement was correct, but they all had a strange feeling. While Ye Lang's behavior did have some educational value, it felt like he was just using this excuse to justify his crime! "Ye Lang, are you saying that you're a good person in appearance?" Zhen Xiaoyan's voice came over. "Yes!" Ye Lang nodded. "In other words, you're only a good person in appearance!" Zhen Xiaoyan continued.
"No, I'm a good person who appears to be very honest. I'm not really that honest, not that I'm a good person on the surface. In fact, I'm still a good person!" Ye Lang defended himself, although he was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. What was going on?
Regardless of whether they understood the details or not, everyone understood one thing: Ye Lang said he was a good person! But, are you a good person? You actually did such a shameless thing! Who said that good people can't be shameless? This isn't just for bad people! "You... you're not a good person. You broke the rules of the competition!" The man pointed at Ye Lang, feeling a little speechless.
Ye Lang waved his hands and said, "When did I break the rules? Doesn't it say that referees can't be partial? Doesn't it say that referees can't interfere with the outcome of the game? None of that!" Absolutely not, because everyone thinks the referees are fair. Even if they have some preferences, they wouldn't be as excessive as Ye Lang! Therefore, there are no special regulations targeting referees; these are all unwritten rules!
