They Were Reborn And Said I Am The Savior - Chapter 24

Everyone was dumbfounded!

We’ve already reordered everything, and with authoritative figures supervising, everything is fair and open. There shouldn’t be any possibility of cheating, so why is someone still forfeiting?

The host asked in confusion, “This student, why are you forfeiting?”

Liu Yang replied calmly, “No reason; I just want to forfeit, is that okay?”

“Of course, that’s your choice, but there should be a reason, right? Did Lin Daotian do you a favor?”

Liu Yang shook his head. “No!”

“Is he your idol?”

Liu Yang shook his head again. “Not at all!”

“Do you like pandas?”

Liu Yang shook his head yet again. “Nope, not at all!”

“Do you know Lin Daotian? Are you two friends?”

Liu Yang shook his head again. “I’ve never met him; how could I know him?”

“That’s strange. Since you have no relationship with him, why would you forfeit right away?”

The host was confused, and the audience was even more perplexed, all curious about Liu Yang’s response.

“Well, since you all want me to say something, then I’ll tell you!” Liu Yang’s expression grew angry. “The reason I’m doing this is twofold: first, it’s my personal choice, and second, it’s to protest the unfairness of this competition!”

“Why do you say that? We’ve already reordered everything!”

Liu Yang became even angrier. “Precisely because you’ve reordered it, it’s unfair to me! Do you know? I originally had a chance to make it into the top 50, but after your reordering, everything got messed up!”

“Even if I beat Lin Daotian, my next opponent would likely kick me out, and the one after that could also defeat me, leaving me stuck outside the top 100! So now, the only thing I can do is forfeit to Lin Daotian to avoid them and have a chance at making it into the top 50!”

“That’s my answer. Are you satisfied?”

Everyone fell silent!

They didn’t expect it to be for such a reason; it sounded reasonable.

If they were in his shoes, they would probably do the same.

But just like that, he was letting Lin Daotian move on?

That was ridiculous!

Seeing Lin Daotian’s innocent expression, everyone felt particularly indignant.

“This student, I feel very sorry and regretful about your situation! But this is an exam; it can only guarantee fairness for the vast majority, not for every single person. I hope you can understand!”

“I understand, but I’m still not happy!”

Liu Yang huffed, jumping off the stage and cleanly forfeiting.

Thus, Lin Daotian won again without a fight.

In the audience, Zhang Kuang fumed. “Lin Daotian, you’ve dodged another bullet! Now that the system has been reorganized, I refuse to believe you can stay lucky forever!”

Half an hour later, it was Lin Daotian’s turn again.

His opponent, Wang Yanyang, wore glasses and looked clean and delicate, even a bit effeminate, but his summoned beast was very strong, showing impressive performance in earlier matches.

Everyone was filled with anticipation; this time, it should be a real test for Lin Daotian, right?

However, to everyone’s surprise, as soon as Wang Yanyang stepped up, he raised his hand.

“Referee, I forfeit!”

Zhang Kuang and the audience: “!”

The host was very confused. “Wang Yanyang, why are you forfeiting as soon as you come up?”

Wang Yanyang looked downcast. “Because I’m not in the mood to fight!”

Not in the mood to fight?

What kind of reason is that?

It sounds so trivial!

“Student Wang, is it that Lin Daotian has done you a favor?”

Wang Yanyang shook his head.

“Could it be that you’re a fan of Lin Daotian?”

Wang Yanyang shook his head again.

“Do you like pandas?”

Wang Yanyang shook his head again.

“Do you know Lin Daotian? Are you good friends with him?”

Wang Yanyang still shook his head.

“Then what is the reason?”

Wang Yanyang suddenly covered his face with his hands. “Can you not ask? I don’t want to say!”

“Student Wang, it’s your freedom to speak or not! But the situation is special right now, and if you don’t say anything, it’ll be hard for us to explain to everyone. I hope you understand!” the host urged.

“Fine, since you insist on making me say it! The reason I’m forfeiting is entirely because…”

Wang Yanyang dropped his hands, revealing a tear-streaked face, and shouted angrily, “Because I just got dumped! My girlfriend Cuihua broke up with me! My heart hurts so much! It hurts so bad I can’t breathe! I just want to find a quiet place to be alone for a while!”

“But you! You all forced me to say it! You had to rip open my wound and sprinkle salt on it! I’m controlling myself right now, and if I cry, are you satisfied? Wah wah wah…”

With that, he started crying, his sobs heartbreaking and shocking.

Once again, everyone fell silent.

They didn’t expect it to be for such a reason.

Not wanting to take an exam after a breakup was perfectly normal.

Especially for an immature young person like Wang Yanyang, who acted like the sky was falling after getting dumped.

When life and death aren’t a concern, how could a small exam matter?

“Student Wang, I sympathize with your situation! But there are plenty of fish in the sea; although you lost her, you can find someone better! Your future is bright, so lift your spirits!”

As soon as Wang Yanyang heard this, he became even angrier. “How dare you say that! Cuihua will always be the best in my heart! I will only love her in this lifetime! You’re trying to drive a wedge between me and Cuihua; you’re a bad person! You’re all bad people! I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Wah wah wah…”

He ran out of the exam hall while crying.

Everyone watched Wang Yanyang leave and then looked at Lin Daotian, who was calmly petting his panda, feeling mixed emotions.

Once again, he managed to slide through!

Is there really no justice?

Is there no law?

After that, it seemed like nothing had changed.

No matter who Lin Daotian faced, the opponent would forfeit right away, with bizarre yet reasonable excuses.

By the end, Lin Daotian was starting to feel restless.

The referee called out, “Lin Daotian, it’s your turn again. Hurry up and get on stage!”

Lin Daotian yawned, looking sleepy. “Huh? Is it my turn again? Sigh, every time I get on stage, I win without even lifting a finger. It’s so boring! Referee, just let him forfeit and announce my victory!”

The audience gritted their teeth. “So arrogant!”

“Damn! I’ve never seen someone so arrogant in my life!” Zhang Kuang was so furious he was shaking, pounding the table and shouting loudly, “Protest, protest! The exam is unfair; we want to reorder!”

Under Zhang Kuang’s leadership, many audience members followed suit.

“Unfair exam, reorder!”

In the VIP seats.

Sword King Shen Tianjun frowned. “The situation is a bit strange; someone is questioning it again!”

“Want to reorder? I don’t mind!” Dragon King Lin Aotian said nonchalantly.

“Not happening!” Xia Qingfeng said firmly. “To give everyone an explanation, we’ve already revised the rules once! If we compromise again, we’ll lose our authority and face! So, this time we will firmly refuse!”

“What… what should we do?”

The three began whispering and discussing.

Just then, the school beauty, Leng Qingyue, hurried into the sports arena.

Looking at the noisy exam hall, she felt completely bewildered.

“What’s going on?”
