Martial Master

The steward of the Tianji Pavilion cursed inwardly but could only force himself to say, “What he said is not wrong. In the arena matches, unexpected events can occur. Since you've come up to the stage, then life and death are determined by heaven. Otherwise, this arena match would lose its meaning. However, although this person came up to save someone, he actually attacked the contestants from your Dawei Dynasty, which indeed violates the rules. I can take charge and disqualify this person from the match; would that be satisfactory to you?”

After the steward of Tianji Pavilion finished speaking, he coldly looked at Qin Chen.

The blue-clad scholar and the other martial artists from the Great Jin Dynasty below immediately turned pale. He never expected that in order to appease Qin Chen's anger, the steward of Tianji Pavilion would actually disqualify the blue-clad scholar.

This effectively meant that the Great Jin Dynasty went from having five contestants to four, losing one opportunity to compete.

Although extremely unhappy, the blue-clad scholar could still understand Tianji Pavilion's actions. The most important thing for Tianji Pavilion is fairness. With so many people on the central arena, it wouldn't be appropriate for Tianji Pavilion to show obvious favoritism. Being able to make this decision was already very commendable.

At this moment, everyone around the arena was looking at Qin Chen, secretly admiring him. To force Tianji Pavilion to disqualify that blue-clad scholar, the contestant from the Dawei Dynasty was indeed formidable.

However, admiration aside, everyone looked at Qin Chen as if he were an idiot.

Was it really wise for someone to offend Tianji Pavilion like this while participating in the examination of the medium-level dynasty?

What everyone did not expect was that facing Tianji Pavilion's decision, Qin Chen's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He then clasped his hands and said, “I am very satisfied with Tianji Pavilion's handling. However, disqualifying this person from the match is enough. After all, no one from our Dawei Dynasty was injured, and I wouldn’t want to be seen as winning unfairly at the end.”

Everyone was stunned, looking at Qin Chen in confusion, completely unable to understand what he was thinking.

Earlier, when Tianji Pavilion did not take action, he was furious, feeling he was treated unfairly, even confronting Tianji Pavilion in front of so many people, showing no respect.

Now that Tianji Pavilion has acted, this young man instead shrank back.

Having offended both Tianji Pavilion and the Great Jin Dynasty without gaining any advantage, was this guy an idiot?

Everyone was dumbfounded, totally unaware of what Qin Chen truly wanted.

Everyone was puzzled, but the steward of Tianji Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “It’s wonderful that you think this way. If you have no objections, please continue with the match.”

“Hehe, I thought that kid was really that strong; in the end, he was still afraid of Tianji Pavilion and our Great Jin Dynasty.”

The blue-clad scholar sneered inwardly, feeling even more contempt for Qin Chen.

In his view, Qin Chen's earlier strong attitude was clearly just for show. When it came to a critical moment, he immediately softened.

Soon, the previous burly young man was helped down by the Great Jin Dynasty’s people for treatment, leaving the blue-clad scholar on the arena.

“The match will continue now. You seem to be able to step down, right?” The blue-clad scholar coldly looked at Qin Chen.

“Ying Qianxue, you can step down. The next part is up to me.”

What?

Everyone was stunned. This guy was planning to go up on stage himself?

Although Ying Qianxue had been in danger earlier, she had not suffered any real injuries and still had the strength to continue fighting.

However, once she chose to step down, according to the rules, it would mean conceding defeat, and there would be no further chance to go back on stage.

The steward of Tianji Pavilion hurriedly reminded, “According to the rules, once you step down, it represents a concession. You won’t have another opportunity to come back on stage.”
