Chapter 64: Cheating in the Arena?

Mother Jubiao listened, completely bewildered, "What strange energy? Why don't I understand what you're saying?"

"Simply put, this Demon Beast bear has been playing dumb the whole time; it hasn't used its full strength at all!"

Zhang Yi scratched his hair in some agitation, "It's been playing the pig to eat the tiger!"

"Ah?"

Mother Jubiao was truly panicked now, "Then what should we do? Isn't your Younger Sister in great danger?"

"It's hard to say right now."

Zhang Yi stared intently at the situation on the Arena, "My Younger Sister should have noticed it too."

"Let's see how she handles it."

Zhang Yi was somewhat curious.

If it weren't for the opponent being able to maintain its stamina, this girl should have already taken down this fifth-rank Demon Beast bear.

After all, a nimble Wangri Bird dealing with a bulky Demon Beast bear shouldn't be a problem, provided the difference in their demon ranks isn't too great.

But as things stand now...

Zhang Yi was also feeling a bit uncertain at this moment.

However, he believed that his Empress Sister would definitely slip away first if she encountered danger or realized that her opponent had some hidden cards up its sleeve.

On this point, Zhang Yi was quite at ease.

What he was puzzled about now was this.

How exactly did this fifth-rank Demon Beast bear manage to hide its skills without being discovered?

Logically speaking, Zhang Yi had not probed any divine skill on it that could conceal skills.

If that were the case, it meant there was another high-rank Demon Beast helping it in secret.

Zhang Yi's gaze swept all around.

His eyes scanned the spectator stands sharply.

Most of the Demon Beasts were staring fixedly at the Arena.

They were in high spirits, some even trembling with excitement, saliva spraying everywhere.

They all looked normal.

There were also some timid Demon Beasts, nervously covering their eyes, afraid of missing any exciting moments yet also afraid of seeing bloody scenes.

In short, except for a few sleepy fellows, everyone was immersed in this contest.

There was only one exception.

In the first row not far from Zhang Yi, Xiong Batian of the Bear Clan was half-closing his eyes, his massive body occupying nearly three seats.

He appeared nonchalant, but in reality, his whole body was tense.

This guy is not right!

Alarm bells rang loudly in Zhang Yi's heart.

When he had probed with his divine soul earlier, he hadn't discovered anything unusual about Xiong Batian.

Aside from detecting a divine ability similar in function to his own Taotie Feast, there was nothing else amiss.

Could he have been mistaken?

No, impossible!

Zhang Yi's intuition had always been accurate.

He activated his "Insight Eye" once again.

Golden light burst forth from his eyes again, and this time, he locked his target directly onto Xiong Batian.

Sure enough!

Under the enhancement of the Insight Eye.

Zhang Yi clearly saw a faint layer of energy fluctuations surrounding Xiong Batian.

These energies were like a trickling stream, continuously converging toward the Demon Beast bear on the Arena.

"Damn it! He's actually cheating!"

Zhang Yi cursed inwardly, a surge of anger rushing straight to his head.

No wonder that Demon Beast bear was still as pumped as if it had been injected with stimulants after fighting for so long.

It turned out someone was secretly channeling energy to it!

This was simply a blatant violation of the Arena contest rules!

Zhang Yi could no longer sit still and jumped up with a start.

Pointing at Xiong Batian, he shouted, "Hey! Someone is cheating! Cheating! Stop... stop for a moment!"

The sudden shout instantly broke the clamor of the scene.

The gazes of all the Demon Beasts turned toward Zhang Yi in unison, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"Who? Who is shouting?"

"What's going on?"

"Cheating? Who is cheating?"

For a time, discussions erupted, and the scene became chaotic.

The Demon Beast bear on the Arena also stopped its attack, looking around with a blank expression.

Meanwhile, Xiong Batian slowly opened his eyes, a flash of panic crossing them.

He then quickly calmed down.

He pretended to be nonchalant.

A Great Demon responsible for managing the contest heard Zhang Yi's shout and immediately jumped onto the Arena.

He asked sternly: "Who said someone is cheating? Stand out for me!"

One must know, this is the second round of the competition.

The rules of the competition are even stricter.

The higher the level of the competition, the more one must emphasize fairness.

Because it is different from those small fry below, where it wouldn't matter if someone secretly used some trick.

As long as it does not touch upon issues of principle, they would turn a blind eye and let it pass.

No one pays attention to the small fry in the lower tiers.

Everyone's attention is basically focused on those high-level Demon Beasts.

These fellows basically all have powerful clans supporting them from behind.

Moreover, the higher the grade, the bigger the temper; they cannot be offended.

Now, someone actually said that in such a second-round competition, cheating had occurred.

This is truly setting oneself against everyone!

Zhang Yi stood out without fear, pointed at Xiong Batian, and said: "It is him! Xiong Batian! He has been secretly channeling energy to the bear demon on the Arena, which violates the competition rules!"

The gazes of all the Demon Beasts focused on Xiong Batian once again, and the sound of discussion grew louder.

One must know, this Xiong Batian is a powerful figure of the Bear Clan!

He is one of the experts in this Arena competition.

Many people are full of expectations for his upcoming performance.

Unexpectedly, it is now exposed that he is cheating!

"Is it really Xiong Batian?"

"No way, right? He is an expert of the Bear Clan; how could he do such a thing?"

"But what this little bird said also makes sense; that bear demon has been fighting for so long, yet his stamina is still so abundant—it is indeed a bit suspicious..."

Xiong Batian's face turned livid; he did not expect Zhang Yi to expose him in public.

Now his old face has been completely lost.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said with feigned calmness: "Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you cannot say whatever you want! What evidence do you have to prove I am cheating?"

One must know, Xiong Batian's actions just now were all operated within the controllable range of his energy; it was impossible for the people around to notice.

Could it be... that this kid has some special ability?

"Evidence?"

Zhang Yi sneered, "My eyes are the evidence! I saw with my own eyes you channeling energy to that bear demon!"

"Nonsense!"

Xiong Batian roared, "You, a small Demon Beast, what qualifications do you have to question me? I think you are deliberately causing trouble!"

"Whether I am causing trouble, everyone knows in their hearts!"

Zhang Yi retorted without showing any weakness, "Do you dare to let a Great Demon examine that bear demon's body?"

Xiong Batian hesitated.

He knew that if he let a Great Demon examine the bear demon's body, his cheating behavior would definitely be exposed completely.

But if he did not allow the examination, wouldn't that mean he had a guilty conscience?

Xiong Batian immediately hated Zhang Yi to the bone.

He said secretly in his heart: Kid, don't let me run into you in the later competitions, otherwise, I will pluck all your feathers off and tear you into pieces!

Seeing that it was an unknown junior accusing the Bear Clan of cheating, many Demon Beasts were unconvinced by Zhang Yi.
