NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: 56 chapters to win the championship
He Lei charged onto the stage, and the atmosphere froze immediately.
Everyone was watching, wondering what he was planning to do.
Once He Lei got on stage, he snatched the microphone from the host and confronted Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, you cheated, do you know that?"
Wang Ye, however, remained indifferent, "Oh? How did I cheat?"
"You never prepared an antidote; instead, you used the poison you had previously concocted as the antidote. If that's not cheating, what is?"
"Why is that cheating? The poison-testing segment begins with concocting the poison and ends with a successful detoxification. As long as the antidote is prepared within this time, isn't that all right? Is there a rule anywhere that says you can't prepare the antidote during the poison concoction phase?" Wang Ye retorted.
"Wang Ye, you're quibbling! You cheated! I don't accept this outcome, I demand a rematch," He Lei insisted, adamant that Wang Ye had cheated.
Given the current circumstances, even if there were a rematch, Wang Ye could still win.
But Wang Ye certainly wasn't about to obediently comply with He Lei's demands.
"He Lei, I'm not opposed to a rematch. However, you need to ask Mr. Lu first if he's willing," Wang Ye glanced toward Mr. Lu.
He knew Mr. Lu didn't dare to have a rematch.
Because Wang Ye now held something of great importance in his hands.
That was Mr. Lu's Gu insect.
Originally, when the Gu insect entered Wang Ye's body, it was supposed to be under Mr. Lu's control, attacking Wang Ye's internals. But Mr. Lu didn't anticipate that Wang Ye was also skilled in the Art of Controlling Gu, and even more powerful than Mr. Lu.
As a result, Mr. Lu's Art of Controlling Gu turned back on him, damaging his own body and allowing Wang Ye to take control instead.
To break free from this control, he would still need some time.
"Why wouldn't Mr. Lu dare? If I tell him to have a rematch, he's got to have one," He Lei stated without hesitation.
But upon hearing this, Mr. Lu quickly stepped forward and said, "No, no, no, Young Master He, there's no need for a rematch! I admit defeat."
"What? Mr. Lu, you..." He Lei was immediately shocked.
He couldn't believe that Mr. Lu would back down.
"Young Master He, let's take a step back," whispered Mr. Lu into He Lei's ear.
He absolutely didn't dare to confront Wang Ye now; otherwise, he might even lose his life.
The poison-testing phase from before, if it weren't for his Gu insect absorbing the toxicity, he would have suffered greatly.
"You're completely useless!" He Lei cursed in anger.
With Mr. Lu conceding, He Lei knew the game was over. Arguing with Wang Ye at this point would only result in his own humiliation.
And at this moment, Fang Feifei also arrived on stage.
"He Lei, can't you accept defeat? With so many people watching, and it being broadcasted live, do you want to cause a scene?" Fang Feifei asked, looking at He Lei.
"Fang Feifei, you want to side with Wang Ye? If you want to oppose me, the outcome won't be good for you!" He Lei's rage escalated.
He was already displeased with Wang Ye's victory, and now seeing Fang Feifei coming to support Wang Ye, he got even angrier.
"I'm not interested in opposing you, all I want is justice!" Fang Feifei said calmly.
"Hmph! Just wait and see." After dropping those words, He Lei turned and left in anger.
The farce was resolved, and the atmosphere returned to its original state.
Wang Ye's victory was met with everyone's approval.
Chen Li and Tan Long also went up to the stage to congratulate Wang Ye.
Then came the award ceremony.
...
Under the lively atmosphere at the venue, He Lei and his group furiously left.
Once they were out of the scene, He Lei immediately burst into rage, yelling at Mr. Lu, "Mr. Lu, what the hell were you playing at just now? Why isn't Wang Ye dead?"
Yang Junsheng and Zhou Tianhao both stared at Mr. Lu as well.
They had everything ready for the wrap-up. But now, the hundreds of people waiting outside the venue had all come for nothing.
"Young Master He, that kid is an exceptional master, I really didn't expect his strength to be so formidable," Mr. Lu said, also feeling aggrieved.
He certainly wanted to kill Wang Ye, but alas, he didn't have the strength!
"Nonsense, what strength could that kid have? He's nothing but a straw bag!" He Lei couldn't be convinced.
Yuan Hongming then spoke up, "Young Master He, I told you before, that kid's strength is genuinely strong. We need to devise a new plan for this."
"Get lost! Is it your turn to speak? You're just another waste," Yang Junsheng snapped at Yuan Hongming.
"Young Master He, rest assured! I'll remember that little punk, Wang Ye. Sooner or later, he will die by my hand. I'm going to consult with my master during this period and find a way to deal with him," Mr. Lu said, trying to salvage his dignity as he spoke to He Lei.
He Lei glanced at him, scoffing, "You expect me to believe your crap?"
"Please give me this opportunity, Young Master He," Mr. Lu said as he took off his hat, finally revealing his entire face.
Above his left eye, there was a tattoo. Two fingers wide, it depicted an Azure Dragon and was quite fearsome.
Seeing this, He Lei slowly nodded, "Fine, I'll give you this chance."
"Thank you, Young Master He. I'll be taking my leave then!" Mr. Lu said, putting his hat back on and promptly left.
Seeing Mr. Lu leave, Yang Junsheng approached and said, "Young Master He, now that Wang Ye has won the championship, I think he will go to the Su family. He's going to marry Su Wanqing, so, I have a plan."
"What plan?"
"Young Master He, we do this..."
Yang Junsheng whispered in He Lei's ear for over a minute.
After listening, He Lei's lips curved into an evil smile, "Are you sure this will work?"
"What can't work, Young Master He! As long as it achieves our goal, it's a good method," Yang Junsheng replied with equal malice.
He Lei smirked, "Fine, let's do it this way! I'll leave this to you, but if you fail, you'll bear the consequences."
"Don't worry, Young Master He, I'll make sure it's done," Yang Junsheng promised, turning to leave with Zhou Tianhao and Yuan Hongming.
He Lei then got into his sports car and sped off with a press of the accelerator.
...
On the other hand, Wang Ye, at the venue, had just received his prize for winning the championship.
According to the announcement made beforehand by the organizers of the competition, Wang Ye's victory secured the Peerless Medical Hall a year-long medicinal materials contract. This contract would allow Peerless Medical Hall to earn at least two billion within a year.
With the contract in hand, Chen Li immediately signed a new cooperation agreement with the Yun City medicinal materials business association. Then, he successfully obtained two billion in cash from them.
And this two billion in cash was naturally handed over to Wang Ye.
"Junior brother, with this money, your marriage arrangement will go smoothly!"
"Thank you, senior sister, I'll head over to the Su family right away."
