233: High hopes

"Master?"

The eight Proctors looked at Su Wei.

Everyone in the live stream.

Their gazes also fell on the Man whose face was pale and cultivation Realm had plummeted.

"The Beast King called Su Wei Master? What's going on? Could it be that the Forest King is Su Wei's contracted beast?!"

After a brief moment of thought, the live stream immediately thought of this unbelievable situation.

"It must be! Didn't you see that as soon as the Forest King died, Su Wei became like that?!"

"That's not the key! The key is, the Forest King wanted to kill Young Master Long, and Su Wei is the Forest King's Master!"

In the forest.

Everyone present cast their gaze upon Su Wei, who was sweating profusely.

"Student Su Wei, is the Forest King your contracted beast?"

Huang Lie was the first to question sternly.

This question should have been one that excited all Humans.

After all.

Contracting the Forest King! This kind of feat is the fantasy of countless Humans.

However.

The Forest King wanted to kill someone! Its Master did not stop it, and even tacitly allowed it!

This point exceeded everyone's bottom line.

Perhaps if the Forest King hadn't died, many people would have considered Su Wei's talent, and people would have been divided into two factions regarding this matter.

But now, the Forest King is already 'gone', so people's views have naturally reached a consensus.

Under Huang Lie's questioning and the aura of the other Proctors.

Su Wei, whose strength had already plummeted to the level of an Intermediate Beast Master, clenched his fists tightly. He had absolutely no room to argue!

The Forest King's roar before its 'death' had completely sealed off his last retreat!

"No."

Wiping away the blood coughed up from the backlash at the corner of his mouth, there was only one thing Su Wei could do.

Refuse to admit it!

But obviously.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Wei's stubborn appearance was like someone who had secretly eaten a dragon fruit and had a red mouth, appearing extremely pale!

If it really wasn't the case.

Why would the Forest King make that kind of cry for help?

Could an existence like the Forest King still act?

Furthermore, Su Wei's visible severe injury and backlash were even more solid evidence in everyone's eyes!

It's no wonder he would stand out in that situation, trying to save the Forest King.

The development of events had completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The Proctors were also unwilling to waste any more meaningless time.

Among them.

A fifty-something bald Proctor, with his hands behind his back, looked at Su Wei with a serious face.

"According to the rules of this Martial Exam, students are not allowed to fight each other. Violators will be disqualified from the competition!"

"Student Su Wei, relying on his contracted beast, secretly posed a fatal threat to other students. According to regulations, Student Su Wei is disqualified from the Martial Exam!"

As he spoke, a hint of sternness flashed in the bald Proctor's eyes.

"From a legal standpoint, you have committed intentional homicide!"

"Just stay here. We will notify the City Guard to take you away later."

It was obvious.

Under the irrefutable evidence, no matter how much Su Wei denied it, it was impossible for him to escape this Jie!

Staring intently at the nine guys in front of him.

Su Wei's fists clenched, making 'crackling' sounds.

He had to run.

For him, the worst outcome was being captured by the City Guard. No matter the cost, he couldn't let it reach that point!

He had had enough!

But if he ran, it would completely confirm the crime he had committed.

After a brief deliberation, a fierce look flashed in Su Wei's eyes.

"Never mind, as long as I don't go to prison."

While muttering to himself, Su Wei quickly contacted Heavenly Machine through his earphones.

"Heavenly Machine, help me, I need to get rid of these guys!"

After Su Wei's voice fell, there was no response from the earphones.

He didn't know that on Sky Vault Main City, Heavenly Machine, in front of a large number of electronic devices, was currently trying his best to get in touch with Su Wei.

Just a short while ago.

When Heavenly Machine saw Su Wei appear in the live stream footage, he had already been trying to shut down the live stream.

But it was all in vain.

For some unknown reason, he couldn't even contact Su Wei.

It was as if he had been blocked by someone using even more impressive hacking techniques!

On the other side.

After Su Wei discovered there was no response from the earphones, his heart gradually sank.

Without Heavenly Machine's help, relying solely on himself, there was basically no possibility of escaping!

Under that backlash, he was too severely injured!

"Can I only resign myself to fate...?"

Looking at the nine Proctors in front of him, several of them were already communicating with the City Guard Bureau.

Contracting the Forest King should have been an extremely proud thing, he couldn't understand why it had evolved into this state!

"Do you want to escape?"

Suddenly.

In Su Wei's ear, a familiar voice appeared.

This made him subconsciously look up and towards the nine Proctors in front.

His gaze shifted, landing on the Gu Proctor wearing a mask.

It was Gu Proctor who had secretly transmitted his voice to him!

Su Wei couldn't speak, but his eyes revealed an excited expression.

"Later, find an opportunity to take me hostage and leave here."

Ye Tian's words made Su Wei see hope of escaping.

At the same time.

Among the nine Proctors.

Ye Tian suddenly stumbled.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing 'Gu Yan's' situation, several Proctors looked over.

"It's nothing, I consumed too much fighting against the Forest King."

Ye Tian waved his hand, and at the same time walked towards Su Wei: "Let's detain this Student first, to prevent him from running away."

Huang Lie and the others nodded slightly.

Although Su Wei's current state basically posed no threat.

Detaining him was still somewhat necessary.

However.

What several Proctors completely did not expect was.

In just the blink of an eye.

'Gu Yan' was instead restrained by Su Wei, and at the same time, a long sword was placed against 'Gu Yan's' neck!

"Su Wei, what are you doing?!"

This situation directly provoked the angry glares of the other Proctors.

"Let me go! Otherwise, I'll kill him!"

Looking at the hostage in his hand, a hint of gratitude surged in Su Wei's heart.

"Don't be impulsive, if there's anything, we can talk properly."

Huang Lie barely suppressed his anxious feelings and tried to persuade Su Wei.

No one could have imagined that Su Wei would be so bold as to even dare to take a Proctor Teacher hostage!

The other Proctors looked at 'Gu Yan', and couldn't help but exclaim that he was too careless.

He had consumed so much fighting against the Forest King, and at this moment, Su Wei's sudden outburst really caught him off guard.

"Stay where you are, don't move!"

Looking at the eight Proctors in front.

Su Wei said fiercely, and at the same time retreated into the depths of the forest with 'Gu Yan'.

Watching 'Gu Yan' being taken away, no one dared to chase after them, because no one could guarantee that Gu Yan would not be harmed.

Just like that.

More than ten minutes later.

In a relatively quiet patch of woods, Su Wei released his restraint on Ye Tian.

"Gu Proctor, thank you!"

Looking at the Man wearing a mask in front of him, Su Wei pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.

Although this Proctor was one of the main people who ruined his great plan.

But from another perspective, he was just upholding his duty as a Proctor Teacher.

In that kind of situation just now.

He even took such a big risk, sacrificing himself, to let Su Wei leave.

Thinking of this, Su Wei was even a little moved.

It's just that.

The emotion written on his face hadn't fully shown itself yet.

With a 'slap', a blood-red palm print appeared on half of Su Wei's face.

Su Wei was stunned.

And then, Ye Tian, who had slapped himself, spoke with a tone of disappointment: "Look at what you've done?!"

"With such a good contracted beast like the Forest King, you took such a big risk to go and kill someone you could deal with at any time!"

"Couldn't you be more steady? The Forest King is your contracted beast, and you didn't tell me in advance. If you had told me in advance, would I have stopped it?"

As he spoke, Ye Tian, like a Senior, showed a look of disappointment: "Now your matter is known to the whole World, how do you want me to explain it to the Vice City Lord?!"

"I originally had expectations for you to win the champion, not only did I have people look after you, but I also praised you to the highest degree in front of the other Proctors. Who would have thought, a good game of chess was played so poorly by you!"

He sighed heavily.

Ye Tian waved at Su Wei and said: "Go, just consider me blind, having misjudged you."

In this stream of words.

Su Wei, who had originally felt anger rise in his heart because of that slap, silently lowered his head.

Facing Ye Tian's reprimand, not only did he lose his anger, but a sense of guilt and gratitude arose in his heart.

Gu Proctor had such high hopes for him, which Su Wei had not expected.

However, he should also be someone who speaks harshly but has a kind heart.

Otherwise, why would Gu Proctor take such a big risk to save him?

Thinking of this, Su Wei, with the palm print on his face, looked at Ye Tian: "Gu Proctor, you'll see, I won't let you down!"

Saying this with firm eyes, Su Wei turned and left.

Silently watching the Man leave.

Ye Tian, who was standing in place, rubbed his hand.
