Chapter 288: This is my Knowledge
Seeing the referee's "unyielding" attitude, a group of people became excited.
If it could be confirmed that Zhi Qing intentionally injured someone, then the Heaven Dou Royal Team One could be disqualified!
Without the Heaven Dou Royal Team One as a formidable obstacle, winning the championship would be a piece of cake!
"Great, just great!"
Even Tang San couldn't help but feel thrilled, as if the heavens were on his side!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The chance to win without a fight was right before his eyes.
"Zhi Qing must have intentionally injured someone. The soul skill he used on Feng Xiaotian and others turned them into fools!"
"That's right, it must be so."
The Heaven Dou Royal Team One is too strong; given the chance, they wouldn't let it slip.
Now, with a referee questioning Zhi Qing, it's the perfect opportunity to tarnish the Heaven Dou Royal Team One's reputation!
Facing the referee's doubts, Zhi Qing pondered for a moment and said, "We can invite a spiritual-type expert to examine their brains, spiritual power, and Martial Spirits to see if they are injured."
Zhi Qing crossed his arms, speaking with confidence.
He knew exactly how much spiritual power he had used.
These people would recover in three to five days without any lasting effects.
Seeing Zhi Qing so confident and unafraid of the examination, many audience members nodded, realizing it was just a misunderstanding.
Of course, there were still many who firmly believed that Zhi Qing had intentionally injured someone.
Hearing this, the referee thought for a moment and agreed.
As for the match, it was temporarily suspended.
The Spirit Hall, with its vast resources, could easily find a spiritual-type expert.
Even if not a Title Douluo, a Soul Douluo-level expert would suffice to examine such injuries.
In a short while, a Soul Douluo-level spiritual-type expert arrived to examine Feng Xiaotian and the others.
Finally, he frowned and said, "The participants from the Divine Wind Team have no issues with their brains, martial spirit, or spiritual power. Their current state is more like they are in a state of confusion."
He frowned because he couldn't dispel this state of confusion.
"Huo Wu, what is one plus one?"
As if to prove his point, the Soul Douluo-level expert asked Huo Wu.
The audience twitched at the question; even a simpleton should know the answer, right?
"Sir, are you mocking me?"
"One plus one equals two, of course!"
Huo Wu frowned, somewhat displeased.
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"I hesitated because I was wondering why one plus one equals two and not three or four..."
Hearing this, the Soul Douluo-level expert nodded and then addressed the crowd, "See, Huo Wu is not impaired; she's just contemplating knowledge that isn't hers."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhi Qing, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
What exactly is this contestant thinking?
This is Zhi Qing's soul skill, indicating that the knowledge he imparted to the Divine Wind team through his soul skill is his own "concepts" and "knowledge."
These are not things a normal person would ponder.
"Feng Xiaotian, do you remember why you joined the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition?"
Examining one wasn't enough to convince everyone.
He then turned to Feng Xiaotian.
"To compete, to make a name for myself."
"To have Huo Wu notice me more."
"Unfortunately, I lost."
"Now, I have higher pursuits; the competition means little to me."
Hearing Feng Xiaotian speak so methodically, the audience was surprised.
Wasn't Feng Xiaotian supposed to be crazy?
How does he still remember these things?
"What is it? Can you tell me?"
Soul masters have their secrets, and even as a Soul Douluo-level expert, he couldn't pry into others' secrets.
Especially in front of tens of thousands of spectators, it would be even more inappropriate.
"If you wish to know, I am willing to share."
"Sir, you say..."
Here, Feng Xiaotian paused, then continued, "Why do birds fly?"
"..."
"Birds naturally fly."
"No, no, no..."
Feng Xiaotian waved his hand, saying "no" three times, firmly stating, "It can't be that simple."
"When disaster and strong enemies come, only free birds can fly without worry..."
"Birds are born free..."
The audience was baffled; compared to Feng Xiaotian, they seemed more like the crazy ones...
His words carried deep meaning.
The Soul Douluo-level expert waved his hand, cutting off Feng Xiaotian's speech, and said to the audience, "See, their spirits are unaffected; they just need a few days to return to normal."
Hearing this, everyone chose to believe, but an unexpected turn of events occurred!
Feng Xiaotian and the others shuddered, as if they suddenly understood why they had become like this.
"No, no, I don't want to return to what you consider normal!"
"I feel great now, better than ever!"
"I am perfectly normal now!"
"If I return to so-called normal, I will forget; I will lose all these precious treasures. No, I want to remain as I am now!"
The entire Divine Wind team went berserk; weren't they normal now?
On the contrary, they were extremely clear-headed!
Seeing this, everyone was astonished; they had never seen anyone fall into "confusion" and refuse to return to clarity.
"Are the things you're exploring now truly yours?"
A light, almost airy question made the Divine Wind team's pupils shrink, and they instinctively stepped back.
The things they were exploring now didn't seem to belong to them.
But so what!
Once it's in their heads, it's theirs!
"Hmph, let's go!"
Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly and led the team away.
He left quickly for a reason.
To prevent the knowledge in his head from fading, he needed to record it as soon as possible.
Even if he eventually forgot, he could retrieve the memories from the written records.
Huo Wu and the others thought the same, quickly following Feng Xiaotian and disappearing from view.
"After examination, Zhi Qing did not intentionally injure anyone. This match is valid!"
"The Heaven Dou Royal Team One advances!"
The referee quickly made the ruling and even apologized to Zhi Qing.
"It's alright; it's your duty. Your doubts were justified."
After saying this, Zhi Qing and Li Qing returned to the Imperial Combat Academy's rest area.
The rest areas for Team One and Team Two were close, and Team Two members congratulated them.
"You guys are amazing, so strong!"
This wasn't flattery; Team One's strength was genuinely terrifying.
"Sigh, our next match will probably be in the finals."
Zhi Qing sighed.
