“What? Zheng Cheng cheated?”
“Impossible, after all, he’s ranked first in points.”
“Isn’t that big Blood Guanyin puppet considered cheating? Is the referee’s team blind?”
“If it were me, I would also protest. Even in an alien battlefield, such a thing could be considered a strategic weapon.”
There was a heated debate among the countless spectators around the arena.
Their gaze was fixed on the ever-shrinking Blood Guanyin statue in the arena.
Almost half of the people believed that Zheng Cheng had cheated using a one-time powerful item.
Otherwise, how could he easily defeat Terence?
Especially that Blood Guanyin statue, it was absolutely terrifying!
In the arena, the Blood Guanyin statue gradually shrank and eventually turned into a blood-colored Guanyin jade pendant, held in Zheng Cheng’s hand.
The unconscious Terence was tossed aside in the corner of the arena like a rag doll.
The referee cautiously approached him, “Mr. Zheng Cheng, please come with me to justify to the jury.”
“As long as you can prove that this Blood Guanyin is not a one-time-use powerful item, you will still be the winner of this contest.”
“A one-time-use powerful item?”
Zheng Cheng smiled calmly and said, “Fine, I’ll come with you.”
Led by the referee, the two walked towards the jury.
In the rest area for the contestants under the stage, Song Chaoyu worried, “Zheng Cheng has gone with the referee group, he won’t get into trouble, will he?”
Yao Zhixue coldly replied, “There won’t be a problem.”
Song Chaoyu retorted, “How do you know? You are not Zheng Cheng!”
“The Blood Guanyin is a gift he received from Radiation Island, just like our natural weapons. How could anything go wrong?”
Yao Zhixue said, “If you don’t believe it, why don’t you follow them and see for yourself?”
“Hmph! Fine, I’ll go!”
Under the scrutiny of countless eyes, Zheng Cheng entered the Professionist Guild where the referee group was located.
In a spacious room, over a dozen members of the referee group and several figures were all looking at Zheng Cheng who just walked in.
Zheng Cheng was taken aback too.
Among these figures, he saw Captain Zhao Yunxiao and Director Shen Nanfeng.
There were also several golden-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.
“Zheng Cheng.”
Captain Zhao Yunxiao spoke up first, “You don’t have to be nervous, we just called you here to clarify the state of the Blood Guanyin you just summoned.”
“Sure,” Zheng Cheng nodded, “I understand.”
A foreign figure suddenly said, “Esteemed jurors, we, the Chang’an International School, officially lodge a complaint to the jury!”
“How could a mere three-star Priest possibly defeat an eight-star Beast Swordsman?”
“No sane person would believe this absurdity!”
“Therefore, we have reason to believe that this candidate named Zheng Cheng used dishonorable methods to defeat our brave warrior!”
“A powerful, one-time-use item which disrupts the balance of competition is strictly prohibited in all contests!”
“So, we entreat the jury to nullify his ranking result and henceforth declare our school’s contestant Terence, the victor in this contest!”
His argument was clear and convincing.
“Ahem….”
An elderly judge stood up and said in a deep voice, “Rest assured Mr. Louden, we would not wrongfully accuse a cheater, but neither would we wrongfully accuse a student.”
“If he really cheated, we will certainly mete out appropriate punishment.”
After saying that, the elderly judge turned to Zheng Cheng with a friendly smile, “Zheng Cheng, right? Don’t be nervous, calling you here is just a routine matter.”
“Please answer my questions truthfully in the following.”
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, “Alright.”
“In this matchup against Terence, you summoned a gigantic Blood Guanyin statue about ten meters high, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Using this Guanyin statue, you easily defeated contestant Terence, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Your profession is just a three-star priest, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Then can you explain, how a three-star priest can defeat an eight-star Beast Swordsman?”
Zheng Cheng smiled faintly and said, “I remember reading in a book before, that the star level of a profession does not prove the strength of a professional. As long as one has a heart to become stronger, anyone can become a powerhouse.”
“And what I want to say is that, in this world, there are no useless professions, only useless people!”
“No useless professions, only useless people?”
About a dozen people present were quietly pondering over this phrase, the eyes of many of them unconsciously lit up.
“Hahaha…”
The elderly judge laughed and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a student as confident as you.”
“Alright then, can you explain, how were you able to summon that Guanyin statue? Was it a one-time-use item or something else?”
Zheng Cheng didn’t answer but instead glanced at the golden-haired, blue-eyed foreigners standing beside him and said, “Can they leave?”
Louden’s eyes changed instantaneously, and he immediately said, “No!”
“As a representative of the party involved, I have the right to know the origin of that Guanyin statue!”
The elderly judge was still thinking when Marshal Lin standing behind him suddenly said, “Agree to his request.”
“Alright!”
“Mr. Louden, please excuse us.”
“What, I…?”
“If you do not contest, it is proof that the Blood Guanyin summoned by Zheng Cheng comes from Zheng Cheng, and he will be declared the winner!”
“Damn it…”
Louden muttered under his breath and had no choice but to turn and leave, “I trust the reputation of Xia Country. I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation and result!”
After several foreigners left, the elderly referee asked, “Can we proceed now?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng nodded without any hesitation and revealed the attributes of the Blood Guanyin to everyone present.

“Blood Guanyin? An ornament? It’s actually an ornament?”
“A growing ornament… and it’s already at Silver grade!”
“It has three additional skills! It can grow by cannibalizing blood and flesh.”
“Hiss… These attributes…”
“The more I look at these attributes, the more it seems like the innate weapon of a high-star Professionist…”
“Blood Flesh Puppet! The Blood Guanyin must have been summoned through this skill.”
“Offered by my Blood to Xuanyuan, Offered by my Blood to Xuanyuan…!”
People fervently discussed the strange gear which they had never seen before.
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
The senior referee suddenly said, “You have seen the specific attributes of this special ornament. Can it prove that the Blood Guanyin Zheng Cheng summoned in this competition is in compliance with the rules?”
“Yes.”
“Of course it does.”
“The winner is Zheng Cheng!”
The people all raised their hands to vote, and the senior referee immediately said, “Just as I thought. Therefore, we declare that the winner of this competition is Zheng Cheng!”
With that, a referee hurriedly rushed out to announce the winner to the crowd.
Marshal Lin came to Zheng Cheng’s side and said, “Kid, I see potential in you. If you have the chance, pay a visit to the Chasm.”
After he said that, he left without waiting for Zheng Cheng’s surprised reaction.
“Zheng Cheng.”
Zhao Yunxiao also came over, “Well done, it seems like the world’s unique object belongs to you now.”
Zheng Cheng, still looking at the direction Marshal Lin had left, asked hesitantly, “Yunxiao, who is that old man?”
“Old man…”
Zhao Yunxiao gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, but didn’t mind his form of address, and said, “Lin Shanyue, the Marshal of the Northwestern Defense Forces, and the highest commanding officer stationed in the alien battlefield, the Chasm.”
“Lin Shanyue…”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed as he seemed to remember something.
That name had been mentioned by Chen Xiao in the past.
It was rumored that Lin Shanyue’s awakened profession was a five-star ‘Counselor’.
His skills seemed to lean more towards support professions such as Formation Master.
However, he had still risen steadily in the military relying on his wisdom and profession, moving up from an ordinary soldier, company commander, camp commander, regiment commander, strategic adviser, commander, to Marshal!
His most famous battle was the one in the Chasm where using the volcanic terrain underground, he burned hundreds of thousands of magical beasts, effectively blocking a million beast tide from surrounding the Great Underground Wall.
His individual strength wasn’t the strongest among the Northwestern Defense Force’s Professionists.
However, he had relied on his own wisdom and tactics to hold off the millions of beast tides in the Chasm, earning the admiration of countless people, especially in Qinzhou Province!
He was a figure who had always featured in textbooks.
But he hadn’t expected to encounter him here.
Zhao Yunxiao laughed, “Don’t just stand there, Marshal Lin happened to be here in Chang’an City for personal matters and took this opportunity to see the new Professionists. ”
“You will meet him again if you go to the Chasm in the future.”
“Go now, you still have the competition ahead,” Zhao Yunxiao said, “No matter whether you or Zhixue win, the world’s unique object will be yours!”
Within the Professionist Guild’s plaza, the referee again took to the arena and proclaimed, “The winner of this competition… Zheng Cheng!”
“Phew…”
“The winner is Zheng Cheng? He didn’t cheat!”
“Of course, he didn’t! If he had cheated, they would have announced Terence as the winner by now!”
“That’s great! I saved my two thousand bucks, haha…”
“Since Zheng Cheng is the winner, does that mean that the Blood Guanyin he summoned is his puppet? Holy…”
Amidst endless chatter, the referee continued to announce, “The next competition will take place in ten minutes. The challenger for the next competition is… Qin Zheng!”
