“What? He tampered with Liu Yan’s special equipment?”

“Unacceptable. The trial should be fair and square!”

“I wish for our Gifted Academy to obtain the sacrificial gemstone this time, but we want to get it through fair competition.”

“That’s right. We have to win with our own strength, not cheating. This is too embarrassing.”

“I didn’t expect Mr. Ken Hill to do such a thing. It’s really disappointing.”

“Mr. Ken Hill, tell me what exactly you did.”

…

When everyone present found out the truth of the matter, be it the students of Lighthouse Academy or the students of Gifted Academy, they all looked down on Mr. Ken Hill. They didn’t expect that he would do such a shameful thing.

Faced with many accusations, Ken Hill also lowered his head in shame. He explained, “It’s all my fault. I wanted to stop Liu Yan from obtaining the second sacrificial gemstone, so I did something to his special equipment, causing the movement speed of Liu Yan’s special equipment to be twice as slow as the others.”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

These students had just participated in the trial of the altar of sound. They were all clear about the seriousness of this matter.

In the altar of sound, facing all kinds of attacks from all directions, they could only rely on the special equipment to move.

If the movement speed of the special equipment were twice as slow, the trial would be several times harder for Liu Yan.

Everyone looked at Liu Yan in surprise. They did not expect Liu Yan to persist until the end because the trial was much more challenging for him. He was even eliminated at the same time as Alan Smith.

Although both of them were eliminated at the same time, the difficulty of Liu Yan was several times that of Alan Smith. Hence, it was obvious who was the stronger one between them. Liu Yan was naturally stronger than Alan Smith and deserved to be in the first place. No wonder Principal Murakami said that Liu Yan was the winner.

“I didn’t see this coming.”

“No wonder I felt that Liu Yan’s speed was much slower when I saw the video. I thought it was just my imagination, but it turned out to be true.”

“It’s hard to imagine how difficult it would be to slow my speed under such circumstances.”

“If I were slower, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to last a minute.”

“Yeah, Liu Yan is too strong. He deserves to be first.”

“That’s right. The sacrificial gemstone of the altar of sound should belong to Liu Yan.”

…

Everyone was discussing animatedly and was extremely shocked.

At this moment, Murakami also looked toward the crowd. He said, “As the principal of Gifted Academy, I am also responsible for this matter that happened under my command. It is my fault. I have let down the teachers and students of Lighthouse Academy. Mr. Ken Hill will be fired and banned from Gifted Academy. In addition, the government had announced that no other academy would be allowed to hire him in the future. As for the results of this competition, Alan Smith managed to hold on for 18 minutes. His score was 200 points, while Liu Yan’s score was 200 points. Although both of them had the same score of 200 points, it was clear that Liu Yan was even stronger. Liu Yan will become the first place and get the sacrificial gem of the altar of sound.”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that there was no problem. It was completely reasonable.

After all, the rules stated that as long as one could hold on for 18 minutes, they would obtain a full score of 200 points.

Although both Liu Yan and Alan Smith had 200 points, there was a difference. Liu Yan had 200 points because he only had a maximum of 200 points. He was more powerful than Alan Smith. There was no doubt that Liu Yan could get the sacrificial gem of the altar of sound.

At this point, the second round of the trial of the altar of sound had ended. Liu Yan had obtained first place and the sacrificial gem.

However, after this matter, many students of Lighthouse Academy also changed their views toward Murakami.

When they first saw Murakami, they felt he was extremely cold and did not seem like a good person.

However, they now knew that Murakami was strict, but he was also fair and upright.

If Murakami did not mention this matter, no one in Lighthouse Academy would know what Ken Hill had done. In the end, Alan Smith would obtain the sacrificial gem of the altar of sound.

However, Murakami did not hide the truth just because Liu Yan was a student of Lighthouse Academy. Instead, he directly exposed this matter and maintained justice.

For a time, many students of the Lighthouse Academy had changed their opinion of Murakami.

Lan Jinqiu also looked at Murakami with some admiration. He cupped his hands and said, “Mr. Murakami, I admire your honesty.”

Murakami waved his hand and said indifferently, “Alright, all of you can leave. We still have the third altar trial tomorrow. All of you should rest well.”

Liu Yan was brought in front of Murakami by the staff.

Murakami looked at Liu Yan and said indifferently, “This matter is my fault. This matter is unfair to you. You can ask for the compensation you need.”

Liu Yan was not bothered by this matter. He smiled and said, “It’s okay, Mr. Murakami. things had happened. The trial became even more challenging. It might not be a bad thing for me. Let’s just forget about it.”

In reality, what Liu Yan said was not a lie.

Because his special equipment was tampered with, it caused the altar of sound’s trial to be much harder for Liu Yan. It brought a lot of pressure on Liu Yan, but at the same time, it also brought some benefits to Liu Yan.

If the difficulty were the same, Liu Yan could endure for a very long time using his A-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight.

Because of the difficulty of the trial, Liu Yan needed to use his vision to perceive the situation around him. It caused a lot of pressure on Liu Yan but also brought many improvements to him.

Liu Yan felt that after this trial, his vision and battle situation analysis ability had improved a lot. It would be of great help to Liu Yan in future battles.

Overall, this matter could be considered a blessing in disguise. In any case, it did not affect Liu Yan from obtaining the sacrificial gem of the altar of sound in the end. He also got some additional improvements. It could be considered a good thing for Liu Yan.

Murakami looked at Liu Yan in surprise when he heard this. The wily Murakami could naturally tell whether Liu Yan was speaking the truth or trying to curry favor with him.

However, Murakami could only see sincerity on Liu Yan’s face. Liu Yan didn’t care at all. Instead, he looked as if he had gained something.

Murakami was satisfied with Liu Yan. It was indeed rare for someone with such a monstrous talent to have such a mature temperament. It was no wonder Zhong Yuntian had such a high opinion of Liu Yan.

At this moment, even Murakami could not help but believe Zhong Yuntian’s words. Liu Yan was a once-in-a-century genius. He was likely to become the hope of humanity in the future and be able to lead humanity out of its predicament.

Murakami felt the same way.

Murakami praised Liu Yan in his heart. On the surface, Murakami’s expression was cold, and he did not say anything. He just gave the sacrificial gem of the altar of sound to Liu Yan and let Liu Yan leave.
