Chapter 249 Never Cheat
Chapter 249 Never Cheat
That guy is a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. I'm afraid he will fight to the end.
Thinking of this, Shen Li felt that she must fight today.
"Shen Li, please!" Shen Li bowed and raised the Qingtian Zhan.
"Fang Sheng, thank you for giving way." Fang Sheng's voice was low and hoarse, coming through the mask, with a hint of subtle provocation.
Shen Li frowned slightly. She did not expect the other party to speak, and she did not expect that the first sentence would be so nonsensical.
She raised her spear lightly, tapped the ground, and responded:
"Fang Sheng, you're the one who gave in."
The battle was about to break out. Shen Li's body was agile, like the breeze blowing through the woods, and his sword flashed like a weaving, trying to find Fang Sheng's flaws.
However, every time the tip of her gun was about to touch the corner of Fang Sheng's clothes, the dark blue sword would counterattack at incredible speed. Every collision was accompanied by a slight vibration of Shen Li's spiritual power, as if an invisible force was hindering her actions.
"This sword... is weird!" Shen Li was secretly shocked but showed no expression on the surface. She tried to adjust her breathing, trying to fight against the inexplicable suppression with purer spiritual power.
As time went by, Shen Li found that his movements became heavier, and every time he swung the gun it was like carrying a heavy burden.
On the other hand, Fang Sheng became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His sword moves became more and more fierce, and each blow went straight to the vital points.
"Shen Li, you are very strong, but today, we are destined to win."
There was a hint of coldness in Fang Sheng's voice. He jumped up suddenly, and his sword turned into a blue lightning, going straight for Shen Li's throat.
"It's a killing move!" Shen Li realized that her life was in danger.
In a competition, isn't it the goal to stop at the right time and try not to take anyone's life?
Shen Li already felt something strange, that she was unable to move.
At this critical moment, Shen Li felt a heat on her neck, and the star necklace that she had been wearing since childhood suddenly burst into dazzling light, forming a curtain of light that blocked Fang Sheng's fatal blow.
In the light, there seemed to be stars moving, containing an ancient and mysterious power.
"This... what is this?!" Fang Sheng was so shocked that he took a few steps back involuntarily, his eyes full of disbelief.
Shen Li was also stunned, and then a warm current surged in her heart. She gently stroked the necklace around her neck, with gratitude and determination flashing in her eyes:
"Thank you, Star Necklace. I will never give up easily in today's battle."
As the light of the star necklace gradually faded, Shen Li seemed to have gained new strength. She took a deep breath and stepped forward with her sword again. This time, her sword moves were more resolute and confident, and she engaged in a more intense confrontation with Fang Sheng.
The swords of Shen Li and Fang Sheng intersected, sparks flying.
As the battle intensified, Shen Li gradually felt the dual pressure of physical and spiritual strength. Just when she was almost crushed by this pressure, the star necklace around her neck suddenly burst into an unprecedented light. The light was warm and bright, as if it could illuminate every corner of people's hearts.
Under the shining light, Shen Li seemed to be suddenly awakened from a long dream. Her eyes became unusually firm, and her movements became agile and powerful.
She seemed to have been reborn, becoming braver and braver as the battle went on. Each of her swords contained a force that could not be underestimated, and she went straight for Fang Sheng's defense line.
Fang Sheng was shocked when he saw this. He had never seen such a strange phenomenon before, and he had never expected Shen Li to have such an amazing reversal. Under the continuous offensive, he gradually felt powerless and defeat seemed inevitable.
However, at this critical moment, Fang Sheng suddenly shouted: "Shen Li cheated, she cheated!"
His voice echoed over the stadium, causing an uproar.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some began to accuse Shen Li of being unfair.
Fang Sheng took the opportunity to protest to the judges, demanding that Shen Li be disqualified from the competition immediately.
He pointed at the star necklace around Shen Li's neck excitedly, claiming that it was her cheating tool, some unknown spiritual pet or helper.
Shen Li's face darkened when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure.
She knew very well that any excuses would be pale and powerless at this moment, and she could only prove her innocence with practical actions.
So she stopped, put away her spear, faced the judges, and said in a clear and firm voice:
"I, Shen Li, never cheat. This star necklace has been with me for hundreds of years. It is a relic of an old friend of mine, a parting gift, and my spiritual support. The light it emits is not evidence of cheating, but the encouragement of my old friend, the faith and persistence in my heart to survive. I ask the judges to see clearly and clear my name."
Upon hearing this, the judges looked at each other, clearly caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
They began to discuss in low voices, each with their own opinion. Some thought Fang Sheng's accusation was too ridiculous, while others were skeptical about Shen Li's necklace.
After Shen Li fought fiercely with other opponents and finally won, the whole stadium should have been immersed in jubilation and admiration. However, because Fang Sheng stopped the game, it fell into an atmosphere of doubt and embarrassment.
At this moment, Shen Xing had just finished his equally exciting game, his heart filled with joy and pride for the victory.
However, this joy did not make him forget his original intention of coming to cheer for his sister Shen Li.
So he hurried through the crowd and rushed to Shen Li's competition venue with great anticipation.
When he stepped into the arena, his eyes were instantly attracted by the scene on the field - Shen Li was having a fierce contest with an opponent holding a strange weapon, Fang Sheng.
The long sword in Fang Sheng's hand glowed with a faint blue light under the sun. It was not only extremely sharp, but also seemed to contain some unknown power, which made Shen Xing feel dizzy.
He quickly calmed his mind and tried to see the whole picture of the weapon. He secretly speculated about its extraordinary nature and began to have doubts.
However, just as he was trying to focus his vision and try to evaluate the weapon from a professional perspective, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense.
Shen Xing was shocked to find that Fang Sheng actually began to loudly accuse Shen Li of cheating. His words were so fierce that it seemed as if he wanted to pour out all the injustice and anger.
Shen Xing suddenly felt a surge of injustice in his heart, as he knew Shen Li's character and strength very well.
She knew even more clearly that the star necklace meant much more to her than just any ordinary jewelry; it was a symbol of faith and could never be a tool for cheating.
At this moment, Shen Xing decided to stand up to clear Shen Li's name and to maintain the fairness and dignity of this martial arts competition.
"Dear judges, and everyone present!"
Shen Xing's voice was loud and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"I am Shen Xing, a friend of Shen Li. I have lived with her in the Bi Cang Palace as her younger brother since childhood. Although we are not related by blood, I know Shen Li well. She loves fairness and justice the most, so I am here to testify for her. I have seen Shen Li wearing her star necklace since she was a child. It is more precious than a family heirloom. It was given to her by her old friend Xing Han...
It not only witnessed her growth, but also was the sustenance of her soul and faith. It had never played any role other than symbolic significance in any competition, but now it was unreasonably accused of being a cheating tool. This was really a great injustice to Shen Li!"
