279: Chapter 279 When a person is shameless, he is invincible.
"What! Skipping a grade?"
"No wonder President Tang let Senior Lu concede just now. So that's how it is."
"Once he skips a grade, he can deal with that Zhao Junji himself!"
"If we take out Zhao Junji, we'll have two wins and one loss. Haha!"
"So, not only did we gain a grandson, but we can also secure the victory!"
"The method is simple, but very clever. President Tang really is a Genius!"
Hearing these discussions, the expression of Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing shifted several times, and even Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun's expression grew serious.
It really was as Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing had said; Xu Chaoyang truly hadn't intended to concede, and had played them for a fool.
Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun rarely spoke, but he smiled and asked Xu Chaoyang, "Governor Xu, quite the maneuver. However, this matter of skipping a grade on the spot—surely this isn't a rule that was just changed for us, is it?"
Xu Chaoyang shook his head. "Commander-in-Chief Han, you misunderstand me. First Specialized Academy has a long history, and school regulations are decided by Jiang Enterprise and the Board of Directors; it's not something I can interfere with."
"The rule allowing students to skip grades based on Realm has existed since I was in school. I believe the Sangyu's specialized academy is much the same."
"What? Do you have an objection to this?"
Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun couldn't have an objection; after all, the game they were playing was already very dirty, with every contestant they sent out suppressing their Breakthrough to a higher Realm.
To object now would only result in them being cursed at even more viciously, and Xu Chaoyang would not yield.
He could only snort lightly, "Skipping a grade is fine. But don't get happy too soon. In my opinion, this President Tang Long doesn't have anything extraordinary about him, and it's not certain he can defeat Zhao Junji."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately laughed.
The first to laugh was Wei Mingzhu, the kind of laughter she couldn't hold back even if she tried.
Others, such as a certain doctor, a certain bishop, and a certain His Majesty the Emperor, could barely hold it in, but didn't fully succeed.
For a moment, both Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing and Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun were very annoyed, but they couldn't directly interfere with the match, so they could only turn their gazes toward Guan Guo.
Guan Guo nodded slightly and shouted again, "Governor Xu! Our contestant just went through a fierce battle. We request a five-minute rest!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, they immediately drew another wave of curses.
"Can you people get any more shameless?"
"The first-year group's match clearly finished after the second-year group's!"
"Where did that arrogance go? Didn't you say we could send as many people as we wanted, and that you'd take on a wheel battle?"
"Now that you know how powerful our President Tang is, you're scared into this sorry state?"
"Is that it?"
"Hmph! I think Senior Lu might not have even lost just now!"
"President Tang! Don't give him a chance to catch his breath, go up there and finish him!"
However, Tang Long did not express any opposition.
After going to the sidelines to check on Miao Manman and providing another round of healing, he turned and entered the activity building accompanied by Qin Bing and the others.
Taking this opportunity, Guan Guo quickly went to Zhao Junji's side and whispered instructions to him.
"Zhao, Tang Long is not simple. Later, don't fight him in close quarters. Use that directly!"
Zhao Junji frowned deeply, "Brother Guan, using that... the cost is too high. It will take me a year to recover. Later..."
Guan Guo immediately interrupted him, "Listen to me! This person is extremely dangerous. He might even be more powerful than that Miao Manman."
"Did you see how Zhu Le lost just now? He definitely has mental techniques that caused Zhu Le to lose his sanity!"
"You cannot give him any chance. It's best not to let him get close to you at all!"
"Therefore, you can only use that!"
Zhao Junji took a deep breath, "Then it depends on whether there is enough time. To use the Hundred-Step Vine Garden, I must be fully recovered."
Guan Guo patted his shoulder, "Recover as quickly as you can. I will try my best to buy you time!"
Zhao Junji immediately took out a dozen types of medicine, swallowed them all at once, and then sat on the ground, closing his eyes to circulate his Qi.
Time passed quickly, and the five minutes were soon up.
On the field, as promised, another wave of cheers erupted.
Amidst the bustling crowd, Guan Guo saw Tang Long again and couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he saw that Tang Long had not only changed into a new white robe but his arm had actually recovered completely!
On the viewing platform, Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing and Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun also looked at each other in dismay.
It wasn't just them; at this moment, even the Spirit Map masters like Xu Chaoyang, Grand Preceptor Qian Wenzhao, and the Shadow were captivated by this.
To them, the ability to regrow a severed limb wasn't too shocking, but it was still quite rare.
Especially when Peng Lin saw Tang Long again, she fell into a daze.
Because that arm of Tang Long's had been destroyed just a few days ago in a fierce battle with her.
But now Tang Long's arm had grown back, while she remained disabled and was even forced to act as Tang Long's bodyguard.
It was truly heartbreaking.
The cheers rose one wave after another, and countless people clicked their tongues in wonder.
And Tang Long had returned to the edge of the arena.
Just then, Guan Guo had a sudden inspiration and stopped him directly.
"Wait a moment!"
Tang Long asked with a smile, "Student Guan, do you have any advice?"
Guan Guo sneered, "I would like to ask, has President Tang Cultivated some kind of mental Cultivation Technique?"
"I asked Zhu Le just now; his state was clearly abnormal, and he didn't display his true strength."
"If President Tang continues to use such methods, I want to lodge a protest!"
Tang Long couldn't help but laugh even more, "Student Guan, do you think this kind of protest is reasonable?"
"Even if I have such an ability, it is part of my strength. What right do you have to stop me from using it?"
"Let's ask His Majesty the Emperor and the adults to judge, and let all the students present judge—is your request not a bit shameless?"
After these words were said, the surrounding area was immediately filled with laughter and jeers.
"Shameless!"
"Shamelessness opening the door for shamelessness—it's reached the peak of shamelessness!"
"The people of Sangyu have reached a new height of shamelessness!"
"I'm just wondering, what exactly is this so-called exchange match exchanging? Are we just seeing how despicable the Sangyu people are?"
"When one is shameless enough, they are Invincible. In this regard, can you say you aren't convinced?"
Seeing the booing, Guan Guo sneered coldly and suddenly let out an extremely piercing screech.
A hundred meters away, dozens of glass windows on one side of the activity building square shattered simultaneously.
Almost all the students immediately covered their ears, their faces showing expressions of terror.
At this moment, Guan Guo said loudly, "Everyone has seen it. Our side also possesses similar abilities."
"If I had used this method just now, not only would the audience have been injured, but I'm afraid the opposing contestants present would also have been affected."
"The reason I didn't use it is because I had to consider the safety of those with lower strength in the surroundings, as well as the fairness of the competition."
"Since it is an exchange, we should compete fairly with hard strength. The victories our side has achieved so far have all adhered to this principle."
"Therefore, Your Majesty the Emperor, ladies and gentlemen, I believe my request now is reasonable and fair!"
As his voice fell, the whole arena was silent.
On the viewing platform, Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing and Commander-in-Chief Han Shixun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and straightened their backs a bit.
Xu Chaoyang first cast his gaze toward Ye Qingcang, but Ye Qingcang shook his head directly, indicating he would not comment.
Then Xu Chaoyang asked again, "Tang Long, the protest from Student Guan of Sang City does indeed have sufficient grounds. Can you accept it?"
Tang Long chuckled, "I have no problem with that."
"Good! The protest is effective! Contestant Tang Long has promised not to use similar abilities again!"
Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing then shouted, "Boy! You must do what you say. I am watching you!"
Tang Long grinned at him, then walked into the arena.
However, Guan Guo suddenly called him back again.
"Tang Long, dare you have a match with me?"
Although Guan Guo had cleverly used schemes to successfully tie Tang Long's hands and feet, he still felt that Tang Long had agreed too easily.
Being fearless showed that the other party had other methods and sufficient self-confidence.
And apart from that ultimate move, Zhao Junji had no other trump cards.
So he wanted to test whether he could provoke Tang Long into accepting his challenge.
Tang Long turned around and asked with some surprise, "What? Do you think that because you hurt my people, I would just let you go like that?"
After saying this, the aura on his body suddenly changed, and another wave of spiritual energy surged out—he had actually broken through another Realm!
