20: Chapter 20 Bai Ling is furious! Does this idiot even understand the situation?!
The referee's words were like a giant boulder crashing into a lake, stirring up monstrous waves!
"Hahaha! I said it! There's no way the Dragon Country people could be this strong. That Shen Mo must have cheated!"
"The despicable Dragon Country people are trying to get away with it! But this is the Gods Arena, you bastards!"
"Now the Dragon Country people are done for! The referee will definitely punish them!"
Compared to the schadenfreude of Sakura Country and Ginseng Country, the public on the Dragon Country side was far more furious. They were incensed, and the live stream comments for the Gods Arena were practically exploding!
"Where did Shen Mo cheat?! Do Sakura Country and Ginseng Country have no shame left? Huh?!"
"Reporting us just because you can't win, huh?! Damn it, you were the ones who used the match locking card, and now that you're about to lose, you're the ones reporting to the Gods Arena! Why don't you just be the referees yourselves!"
"Hilarious! If Ginseng Country were the referees, those ancestor-disgracing things would give their own country 10,000 points!"
"Sakura Country isn't any better! That piece of trash Yotsuki Kami is no good either. Joint reporting? You've really got some nerve! In that case, we'll report too! We're reporting these two idiots for cheating!"
"Count me in! I'll fight them to the death!"
The people of Dragon Country were red-eyed with rage.
There was no help for it!
The stakes for this match were just too high!
Once Shen Mo was confirmed to have cheated, the match result would definitely be a loss, and once they were dealt a loss, the points Dragon Country would have to shoulder would be something they couldn't afford at all!
...
At the commentary booth, Bai Ling looked into the battlefield with a worried expression. At this moment, the Gods Arena was shrouded in a ball of golden light, making it impossible to see the situation inside. However, judging by the state of the pieces, they seemed to be in a state of absolute stagnation.
"A review, huh..."
The spear flying in the air stopped, and the fireball thrown at the enemy ceased moving.
Every piece currently in battle lost its expression, as if a puppeteer had released the strings in its hands.
Big Baldy from USA chuckled: "The Dragon Country contestant seems to be in trouble... Cheating in the Gods Arena, this kind of behavior will probably be severely punished! This is the first time I've encountered something like this!"
Handlebar Mustache from Eagle Country also chimed in with a sinister tone: "Yes, yes, the Dragon Country people are truly impressive. To think of cheating in a situation like this—did he not consider what would happen when the truth came to light?"
"..."
Bai Ling's chest heaved violently.
These two guys were really too much; she couldn't take it anymore!
She had truly had enough!
These two idiots had been mocking her from the very beginning. Before, when Dragon Country was in despair, Bai Ling was full of worry and had no mood to deal with them, but things were different now!
Shen Mo had given Dragon Country a shot in the arm with his absolutely dominant attitude!
They were on the verge of winning.
And these two were still here causing trouble?
At this moment, the etiquette of a great nation and friendly relations that Old Man Zhang had instructed her on before taking the stage were instantly forgotten by Bai Ling!
She was going to let them have it!
Bai Ling sneered and started, retorting angrily: "Is that so? Since you, Big Baldy, like judging right and wrong so much, why don't you apply to be a referee? See if the Gods Arena even pays attention to you, and that'll be the end of it!"
"It's truly a waste of talent for you to be a commentator!"
Bai Ling said sarcastically, and Big Baldy immediately became angry: "I am merely stating a fact..."
"What fact? Shen Mo cheated? The Gods Arena said it themselves: a review! Go check it if you want a review! Do you understand what a review means? Watch my lips... fupan! Did you not graduate from elementary school, or do you have a tumor in your brain?"
"Can you not understand human language?"
"I..."
"You what? You better shut your mouth! Every time you speak, you expose your IQ. We Dragon Country people say 'brilliant people are bald,' but looking at your big bald head, why are you so stupid? Could it be that your baldness is natural?"
"Or perhaps all your hair grew inside your brain, so you have no brain, just hair, right!"
Bai Ling unleashed her full firepower. Her dialect-laced roasting turned Big Baldy's face green. There was no helping it; the language of Dragon Country was just that profound. She roasted him the entire time without leaving him a word to say, and if you reviewed it, you'd find there wasn't a single dirty word!
Just tell me, doesn't that feel awful?
Handlebar Mustache from Eagle Country still wanted to take sides, but before he could even speak, Bai Ling turned her firepower directly toward him, not even bothering to hide the disdain on her face: "And you, little Handlebar Mustache, have you even figured out the situation, or are you just opening your mouth like an idiot?"
"Yes, our Dragon Country's Shen Mo has been reported for cheating!"
"But you damn well better look at the reason for the report! Ginseng Country and Sakura Country reported Dragon Country's Shen Mo for violating match rules to help Persia and Eagle Country achieve victory."
"Do you understand?! It was Shen Mo, helping, Eagle Country win, and then he got reported!"
"If Shen Mo's actions are determined to be cheating, what do you think will happen to your Eagle Country contestants? This is called collusion, do you understand! When the time comes, you'll be punished just the same!"
"Instead of praying with me that Shen Mo is fine, you're just there talking to Big Baldy like a fool. You are truly a genius!"
The disdain in Bai Ling's eyes couldn't be hidden.
After that barrage of firepower.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
Especially Handlebar Mustache from Eagle Country. After Bai Ling's angry outburst, it was as if he had been jolted awake from a dream; his face changed completely!
That's right!
Shen Mo was reported, but the content of the report was about helping Eagle Country win!
Why the hell was he happy about this?!
Realizing this, Handlebar Mustache's face instantly shriveled into a bitter melon. He put on a fawning smile and asked cautiously: "Um... Dragon Country's contestant Shen Mo won't be punished, right? I actually think very highly of Shen Mo..."
Think highly of my foot!
Bai Ling rolled her eyes wildly in her heart.
"I don't know. Get lost, don't bother me!"
...
Inside the Dragon Country base, the originally relaxed atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point!
Old Man Li was the first to lose his temper: "Those bastards! They can't win, so they're playing dirty, huh?! Reporting us? As if we don't know how to report! We Dragon Country people are numerous! We're reporting them too!"
"Old Li, don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Zhiwei frowned: "Xiao Dong, has there been a reply to the message sent to the Gods Arena? What did they say?"
"The Arena said the referees are communicating and have already rejected our call request."
Dong Ge's expression was not very good: "Leader, I just subtly inquired, and the referee side seems to have some controversy regarding Shen Mo's actions and is currently discussing it."
"The good news is that they didn't just reject us; they also didn't agree to the call request from Sakura Country and Ginseng Country. This means the upcoming result can only depend on Shen Mo himself!"
The meeting room fell silent.
Since someone reported Shen Mo for cheating, the Gods Arena would definitely investigate and question Shen Mo. This meant that in the entire adjudication process, the only one who could speak to the Gods Arena was Shen Mo himself!
"Trust in Shen Mo."
Chief No. 1 spoke slowly, his calm gaze providing immense reassurance: "This child, he may seem cynical on the surface, but I can feel that there is a fire in his heart. He will not let us down."
Trust in Shen Mo!
Wait quietly for the result!
