Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Qian Duoduo's words carried weight, because he spoke them while assuming the position of Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy.

Anyone who questions Qian Duoduo is not only questioning his professionalism as the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, but also questioning the long-standing reputation of Shrek Academy.

In this situation, knowing he truly didn't know how to determine whether a soul tool had been activated, Du Weiren's face immediately turned bitter. At the time, in order to complete the task assigned by Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department, Du Weiren had begun searching the three members of the Long You group without a second thought.

In Du Weiren's mind, checking whether the three had used soul tools was a simple matter. He didn't even need to check; relying solely on his position as the head of the teaching department, he could simply go over and ask the three to hand over all their soul tools. If they had something to hide, they would probably be exposed immediately.

Even if he doesn't give himself away, it doesn't matter. How many soul tools could a mere Soul Master have? He's a Soul Douluo after all, and his eyesight is what it is. He can recognize most of the low-level soul tools.

If you encounter someone you know and understand the function of, you can let them go. But if you encounter someone you don't know, you need to scrutinize them more closely.

Du Weilen didn't understand anything about checking the activation status of soul tools, but he could directly activate them to see what they did. As long as the function matched, or was similar, the evidence would be considered found.

Incidentally, he would also check the baby bottle soul tools carried by these three people.

Check if the soul power stored in the baby bottle soul tool is still at full capacity. Use this to determine whether these three people were secretly using the baby bottle soul tool to replenish their soul power during the competition.

However, things did not develop as Du Weiren had imagined. First, more than fifty soul tools were taken out from the storage soul tools of these three people, especially the student named Long You.

Then, when Du Weiren examined these soul tools closely, he discovered that he didn't actually recognize many of them out of the fifty-odd soul tools he had examined.

Upon seeing so many unfamiliar soul tools, Du Weilun felt a sense of unease and secretly confirmed his earlier suspicion that the three students had used soul tools during the freshman competition.

To Du Weilin's knowledge, there was no soul tool capable of creating the scenarios that occurred during the competition. Therefore, Du Weilin naturally assumed that among such a large number of "unknown" soul tools, there must be a "evidence" soul tool.

Just as Du Weiren was patiently preparing to examine the effects of the soul tools on the ground one by one, he was questioned by the "suspected trainee," who directly questioned the legitimacy of his inspection procedure.

Being questioned by a cheating student (Du Weilun had already concluded that Long You and the other two had cheated), especially publicly and loudly, Du Weilun couldn't stand it. He immediately used his position as the dean of students to suppress the student.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy did have a Soul Guidance Department, and Du Weilun's ridiculous inspection method was immediately stopped. Not only was it stopped, but the person who stopped it was Qian Duoduo, the highest-ranking vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department present.

Now Du Weilun is in an awkward position. He's just a dean of students, and he can't ignore either Qian Duoduo's or Yan Shaozhe's orders.

Qian Duoduo instructed Du Weilun to check the activation status of the soul tool using proper methods, and to seek help from the Soul Guidance Department if he couldn't do it. But how could Du Weilun trust the Soul Guidance Department to check it?

Yan Shaozhe's telepathic message to him was to obtain evidence of the student's cheating. If this were handed over to the Soul Guidance Department for investigation, wouldn't they be tempted by such a powerful soul tool and help the student cover it up?

"Director Du." Just then, another voice rang out from the viewing platform. At first glance, the voice seemed weak, but this seemingly weak voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"I am Han Yu, the homeroom teacher of the three students you are reviewing."

Since I'm not familiar with the methods for inspecting soul tools, I'll skip this question for now. My question is, at Shrek Academy, what are the procedures for when a judge determines a student has violated regulations and requires inspection?

If I remember correctly, this process explicitly requires the referee to explain in detail the reasons for the inspection, the direction of the inspection, and to inform the referee of the final inspection judgment and its basis before the inspection.

Now, Director Du, you have not explained the reasons for or the direction of the investigation to my students. Furthermore, even after my students raised questions, you still offered no explanation, instead emphasizing the authority of the judges and the gap in competence. This action raises suspicions of deliberately interfering with the investigation by using your own power, status, and position.

In my personal opinion, Director Du's actions violated college regulations, and he should not continue to shoulder the important responsibility of reviewing the fairness of the competition.

Han Yu's sudden outburst made Du Weilun's face even uglier; this was yet another undeniable mistake he had made. At this point, Du Weilun wisely put the soul tool he was holding, ready to activate, back onto the ground.

As Du Weilun retreated, Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department spoke up at the opportune moment: "Weilun's handling of this matter was indeed inappropriate, and Teacher Han's doubts are valid."

Here, I will explain the reasons for this review in my capacity as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

In the previous match, the team of Long You, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya used a soul skill that exceeded the power limit of a Soul Master. Furthermore, there were no signs of soul power depletion afterward, so I personally suspect that the team of Long You, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya used a soul tool during the freshman competition.

Therefore, in my capacity as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, I instructed Du Weilun, the Director of Instruction of the Martial Soul Department, to conduct an investigation.

Director Du Weilun violated school rules during the review process, and the review work has been handed over. Given that the purpose of the review is to confirm whether the soul tools on the three individuals were activated during the competition, the review work is now being conducted by the Soul Guidance Department.

"Vice Dean Qian, who is the Soul Guidance Department planning to send for the inspection?"

"I, Fan Yu, the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, am the teacher of Long You, the student under investigation. In order to avoid favoritism and ensure the impartiality of the investigation, I am personally here for this investigation."

Before the investigation began, I, in my capacity as the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, swore that I would uphold fairness and impartiality and honestly recount the events during this investigation.

As he spoke, Qian Duoduo's figure swayed slightly, and the next moment he appeared on the competition field.

Upon arriving at the competition venue, Qian Duoduo first took out a soul tool resembling a metal detector from his storage soul tool, showed it to the surrounding area, and then said:

"This is a soul tool detector. I will now use it to determine whether the three students in front of me have any other hidden soul tools."
