Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Just as Long You had expected, Bei Bei and Tang Ya had no objection to being ordered to open the gates.

Even when these two guys heard that Dean Qian was willing to prepare a big surprise for the members of the Soul Guidance Department, they said with a "displeased" look: "What! Soul Guidance Device Testers can also be students of the Soul Guidance Department! This is discrimination."

Long You did not truthfully report to his teacher Fan Yu about Bei Bei's preparation to become a full-time soul tool tester.

He was afraid that if he turned Bei Bei, this prodigious Soul Master, into a Soul Tool tester, using the somewhat reckless excuse of wanting to enjoy the great surprises offered by the Soul Tool system, it might very well result in both Dean Qian Duoduo and himself being punished.

Okay, none of that matters anymore. What matters is the quarterfinals that start early the next morning.

The trio from Longyou are facing off against one support-type and two agility-type attackers. Clearly, this is a fragile assault team that relies on attack power and speed.

In this match, Long You once again became the focus of attention. Right from the start, Long You teamed up with Tang Ya, making the two agility-type Soul Masters on the opposing team, who were already buffed with support abilities, experience firsthand what it meant to not even be able to get off the ground.

At the start, Long You used his thousand-year soul skill, Lightning Flash, and brought Tang Ya to a suitable position for Blue Silver Grass to use in the blink of an eye.

Then came a series of earthquake spells, combined with Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass and rock spikes. This completely stunned the opponent, a great agility-type Soul Master who had been overjoyed (thinking that Long You and Tang Ya were too arrogant, resorting to a surprise attack as a control-type).

The rocky spikes and the constant shaking underfoot prevented the two from taking off immediately, and they also lost the space to move. What followed was Tang Ya using Tang Sect's ultimate techniques and her Blue Silver Grass martial soul consciousness, Tang Lan, to control the Blue Silver Grass forest.

What appeared to be nothing more than a forest of Blue Silver Grass flying everywhere, yet each blade was actually capable of precise action, completely rendered the three Great Soul Masters on the other side unable to move and also obscured their ability to observe the situation.

A moment later, Beibei also rushed over. This time, Long You, carrying Beibei, once again silently used the Lightning Flash Soul Skill, and under Tang Ya's control, easily entered the Blue Silver Grass Forest.

After a brief silence, a thunderous sound echoed across the arena, and a massive surge of soul power spread out from the Blue Silver Grass forest.

From the spectator stand, looking down, one can see a deep purple light blooming in the center of the Blue Silver Grass forest.

From the spectator's perspective, the location of that deep purple burst was right in the center of the opposing team's three Great Soul Masters' positions. However, that was from the spectator's viewpoint; the three opposing Soul Masters, actually in the middle of the battle, had no idea that Long You and Bei Bei had already silently infiltrated that position.

They sensed the eruption of soul power, but it was too late. A barrage of lightning descended from the sky, striking the three opponents precisely, ending the match.

Tang Ya retrieved the Blue Silver Grass, and Long You and Bei Bei leisurely returned to their original positions. Du Weilun, the head of the teaching department, who was to act as the referee, waited until he had assessed the physical condition of the three opponents before announcing the results of the match.

There's really nothing to announce; the result of the match is obvious. What everyone's concerned about now is why Bei Bei and Long You were able to unleash such a powerful soul skill together, and with such precise control.

Soul Masters are indeed more powerful than Great Soul Masters, but Soul Masters are still low-level Soul Masters. Even disregarding the issue of the power of their Soul Skills, the three members of the Longyou group have abnormally high Soul Power reserves.

When a Soul Master uses their third Soul Skill, their Soul Power is often depleted after only a few uses. However, judging from the expressions of Long You and his two companions, even Tang Ya, a Great Soul Master, did not show any signs of exhaustion from using a wide-range Soul Skill.

For some unknown reason, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, on the viewing platform, slightly moved his lips. Du Weilun, the head of the teaching department in the arena, stopped announcing the results of the match and went directly to the trio of Long You, demanding that they hand over all their soul tools.

Upon hearing this request, a look of bewilderment flashed across the eyes of Long You and the other two. Although they handed over all their storage soul tools as requested, they were still wondering why.

However, all three of them were intelligent. Seeing that Du Weiren, after obtaining the storage soul tool, immediately emptied everything from it onto the ground and began inspecting it one by one, they set all the soul tool items aside.

The three immediately understood that Du Weilen suspected them of cheating with soul tools during the freshman competition.

A flash of annoyance crossed Long You's eyes. Having already received a promise from the Soul Guidance Department, he had no intention of giving the Martial Soul Department's Dean of Instruction any face. He immediately questioned loudly, "Director Du, are you suspecting the three of us of cheating with soul tools?"

If this is the case, I hope Director Du will not conduct such a hasty investigation, but instead request assistance from the teachers of the Soul Guidance Department.

Whether a soul tool has been used cannot be determined by sight alone. Some special soul tools can trace their usage. If you had asked a soul tool instructor to examine it earlier, the conclusion would likely be that the three of us did not use any soul tools during the competition.

Instead of doing so, you went to great lengths to remove everything from the storage soul tool, completely disregarding whether these items were our personal belongings. Furthermore, your inspection of the soul tool was extremely rough, practically disrupting the soul tool activation record.

May I question whether your actions are merely nitpicking, forcibly accusing the three of us of using soul tools during the freshman competition?

Using his soul power to amplify his voice, Long You's voice resounded throughout the entire competition venue. Everyone present, whether students or teachers, heard it clearly, and Du Weilun's pride was thoroughly humiliated by Long You.

Having lost face, Du Weiren was naturally not going to let it go so easily, staring straight at Long You with a gaze that exuded intense pressure.

"Young man, I am the referee of the competition. Whether or not there is cheating is for me to judge. What could a Soul Master like you possibly do that could fool a Soul Douluo like me? Are you trying to hide something from me by interrupting my inspection?"

Long You had naturally anticipated Du Weilun's response. Just as Long You was about to reiterate that Du Weilun's examination was unprofessional and violated his privacy, the voice of Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, drifted from the viewing platform:

"Director Du, you are mistaken! As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Since Director Du suspects that the students used soul tools during the freshman competition, he should naturally request the assistance of the Soul Guidance Department in the investigation."

I, Qian Duoduo, as the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, guarantee that everything student Long You just said is true. Director Du's blind inspection method is destroying the soul tool activation records, which, according to the proper soul tool application testing process, is tantamount to destroying evidence.”
