Chapter 2831
The old man’s question left the few individuals present in So Sing Moon speechless!
What was the best way to announce it now?
If the results were declared invalid, Meng He would undoubtedly use it to his advantage, claiming that Jia Ling County lacked fairness and rigor, arguing that even the judges’ results were not to be taken seriously!
On the other hand, if the results were deemed valid and Meng He was declared the winner, it would be incredibly unfair to Kai, whose God Condensing Pill far surpassed the quality of Meng He’s!
Everyone found themselves in a predicament while Meng He continued to flaunt himself among the crowd, shouting incessantly!
At that moment, Liu Ruyan stepped forward and said, “Elder Suo, I have an idea, although I’m not sure if it will work.”
“Please, go ahead ……” Suo Xingyue urged eagerly!
The elderly man also approached to hear what Liu Ruyan had in mind!
“Since the judges have already announced the result, stating that Meng He is the victor,” Liu Ruyan began, “we can still add another match to the competition. This won’t be the final ruling match, just an additional one.”
“The number of matches and the competition rules are determined by the Jialing County Pill Master Association. Even if Meng He objects, his opinion will hold no weight!”
Liu Ruyan laid out her proposal clearly!
“That’s a brilliant idea! This will uphold the judges’ integrity and ensure that this Pill Master Association competition remains fair!”
The old man nodded in agreement!
Suo Xingyue also agreed enthusiastically, stating, “This is a great idea; let’s include an additional competition.”
“Master, how can you just change the rules like that? It’s unfair.”
“These rules have been established for a long time, and suddenly increasing the number of matches feels like cheating!”
Zhu Zhu, hopeful for Meng He to secure first place and for both of them to rise together, spoke up.
“Be quiet! I will uncover what really happened this time. If it turns out you conspired with Meng He to complicate matters, I will not forgive you,” So Xingyue declared, casting a fierce glare at Zhu Zhu!
Zhu Zhu fell silent, while the Third Elder questioned, “What will the content of the additional matches be?”
Upon hearing this, everyone went silent, as it was a newly proposed competition and no one had considered what it would entail!
“I don’t care! Let Meng He say whatever he likes; I want him to learn that he cannot win through deceitful tactics,” Kai proclaimed confidently!
“Excellent! Let Meng He propose whatever he wants to compete in!”
The old man nodded and returned to the referee’s table!
He then announced loudly, “After a unanimous discussion among our judges, since the results have been officially declared, they stand as valid. Therefore, the winner of this match is Meng He ……”
Upon hearing this, Meng He leaped into the air with joy, shouting, “Hahahaha, I’m number one! I’m number one! I can meet the county princess of Jialing!”
“I can’t wait to find out what this special reward will be ……”
However, just as Meng He reveled in his excitement, the old man continued, “But this year, due to the special reward, this third competition isn’t the final one; you’ll need to compete in a fourth match as well.”
As soon as the old man’s words left his lips, Meng He froze in disbelief and then shouted angrily, “How can there be a fourth race? There’s never been one before! Are you trying to trick me?”
The old man shot Meng He a cold glance and replied, “The rules of the Pill Master Competition are established by us in Jialing County. If any contestant disagrees, they are free to leave; we will not force anyone to stay.”
“If you wish to participate in the competition, you must adhere to our rules; I hope you understand.”
“So you’re saying I’ve won for nothing this time?” Meng He asked, filled with displeasure!
