294: Data Recording

Duan Yao, who was not far from Coach Huo, flinched when he slammed the table.

Coach Huo rarely lost his temper, and his current state was very unusual!

Duan Yao couldn't help but take two steps closer to him, secretly trying to peek at his brain, wanting to see what message had made Coach Huo so angry.

Before she could see anything, Coach Huo glanced at her and directly stated the reason for his surging anger—Gu Xiaoyue had been reported on the arena!

She was reported for using Wind Attribute abilities in a Thunder Attribute duel!

She was fighting Noah from Lijian Country, so Coach Huo naturally assumed that someone from Lijian Country had secretly reported her.

Gu Xiaoyue and Duan Yao looked at each other; she had only jumped a few times, and they were claiming she used Wind Attribute abilities?

"That's too much! Their skeletons are heavy, and they haven't strengthened their bodies enough to jump, so they say Xiao Yue used Wind Attribute?!"

Duan Yao put her hands on her hips, her teeth itching with anger.

Coach Huo suppressed the anger in his chest, took a long breath to calm down, and motioned for Gu Xiaoyue to follow him.

"The officials sent me a message; we're going to the organizing committee to verify the situation.

After all, a report doesn't automatically mean guilt; evidence is required!"

As he spoke, he walked briskly towards the organizing committee's office building.

At this moment, Coach Huo's expression was serious, and the chill around him indicated that he was indeed very angry.

Was Dragon Country to be bullied like this?

Gu Xiaoyue quickly followed, arriving at the World Championships organizing committee's department office specifically for handling complaints and reports.

"I received an official notification. Is it true that Gu Xiaoyue, a member of our Dragon Country team, has been reported?"

Coach Huo didn't bother with pleasantries and spoke directly to the person in charge as soon as he saw him.

Gu Xiaoyue, however, looked at the person in charge opposite her, and his female assistant looked very familiar.

She took a closer look at their badges; this female assistant was actually Charlotte Arundel, and the person in charge was Earl Arundel!

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but secretly break out in a cold sweat.

Charlie had said that Vincent and Miss Charlotte were already engaged.

She wondered if Miss Charlotte would cause her trouble now because she had made Vincent lose face on the arena before.

Earl Arundel pushed up his glasses and glanced at the document in his hand.

"The officials have indeed received a report—"

He stood up, extended his hand, and politely shook hands with Coach Huo, then continued.

"Actually, we have attribute energy detection instruments installed on the arena precisely to prevent players from cheating.

When Gu Xiaoyue was dueling Noah, there were indeed no energy fluctuations of other attributes."

Coach Huo nodded thoughtfully, a smile playing on his lips.

Gu Xiaoyue also understood Earl Arundel's meaning.

Although the officials had energy fluctuation instruments, if someone had an objection and the officials did nothing, it would be easy for ill-intentioned people to blow a small matter out of proportion.

Coming here served two purposes: one was to put on a show and go through the motions, and the other was to shut up the accusers!

"Since the officials notified us to come, our Dragon Country team will certainly cooperate, but—"

Coach Huo emphasized his tone.

"We can't just come here every time someone reports something. Do we still have time to compete?!"

"Because this is the first year for the single-attribute arena, the officials cannot completely disregard reports from other players."

Earl Arundel was in a difficult position, caught in the middle. Although he was specifically in charge of complaints and reports for the World Championships, he didn't want to fall out with Dragon Country.

Several of his most profitable projects were in Dragon Country, and it would be a huge loss if he lost cooperation projects over such a small matter.

"Our player truly has the strength and isn't afraid of official review, and I am also fighting for our player's rights!"

Coach Huo grumbled, but his body honestly followed Earl Arundel.

They arrived at the official review room prepared specifically for this purpose.

"After this review of the Dragon Country player, I will also inform future accusers—

Either make a real-name report and have the players come for another review, otherwise, based on the precedent of the Dragon Country player already being reviewed, we will refuse to accept other anonymous reports against Dragon Country players."

Earl Arundel stated his position, and Coach Huo also felt that this arrangement was reasonable.

"Go, Xiao Yue."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded and stood in the middle of several energy fluctuation testing instruments.

She secretly glanced at the expressionless Miss Charlotte and couldn't help but feel that she had been a bit petty earlier.

Miss Charlotte only looked a bit gloomy, and so far, she hadn't caused her any trouble.

"Jump."

Charlotte spoke coldly, her gaze fixed on the form in her hand, not even sparing her a glance.

Gu Xiaoyue jumped in place, even higher than she had jumped on the arena.

A hint of surprise flashed in Earl Arundel's eyes but was instantly hidden.

Actually, he had also thought that Gu Xiaoyue had indeed cheated, but it hadn't been detected by the instruments.

"Please, Dragon Country player, jump again using your lowest Wind Attribute skill."

Earl Arundel spoke. He wanted to see if all the instruments couldn't detect Gu Xiaoyue's Wind Attribute energy.

He was persistent, not targeting Dragon Country, but simply disbelieving Gu Xiaoyue's strength.

If it was indeed detected that she cheated, even if her competition results were canceled, the Dragon Country collaborators couldn't blame him.

Gu Xiaoyue looked up at the ceiling; at this height, if she jumped again with Wind Manipulation, she would hit her head.

However, since the officials requested it, she simply waved her hand and jumped lightly again.

She controlled her height and covered her head with her hand to prevent herself from hitting the ceiling.

The energy fluctuation detection instruments emitted a faint hum, and the pointer only swayed slightly, the indicator light showing that Gu Xiaoyue had used a Wind Attribute skill.

Charlotte said nothing, silently recording the data on the form.

"Are you satisfied?"

Coach Huo raised an eyebrow, asking Earl Arundel. Even though he used polite terms, his tone conveyed strong displeasure.

It was clear that if the other party made another request, Coach Huo would lose his temper.

"There's no problem now. Thank you for the cooperation of the Dragon Country team!"

Earl Arundel glanced at the data recorded by Charlotte, confirmed there was no problem, and then replied with an awkward smile to Coach Huo.

Coach Huo's expression relaxed by two points, and he left with Gu Xiaoyue.

This minor incident did not affect Gu Xiaoyue's mood, but she suddenly remembered—in her previous competitions, the system would always issue tasks and rewards.

It had been almost half a month since she participated in the World Championships, and the system had been so quiet it seemed non-existent.

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a hint of confusion. Did the system not agree with her participating in the World Championships?

But as her helper, the system clearly understood its position and did not interfere with her choices.

However, this thought was just a fleeting one. Gu Xiaoyue didn't dwell on any of the system's actions.

After all, she had already come this far, and she was determined to achieve a good ranking in the World Championships!
