Perhaps it was due to his anger!
The middle-aged man’s voice was loud enough for everyone in the resting room to hear.
Suddenly.
The other participants looked at Wang Chao with strange expressions.
It was obvious they believed the middle-aged man’s accusation—that Wang Chao had thrown the match.
Wang Chao’s face darkened.
He knew better than anyone whether or not he had thrown the fight.
That finger from Chen Ye earlier… if he hadn’t backed away quickly, his arm would have been completely ruined…
Ignoring his cousin, Wang Chao picked up his belongings and left the sports arena.
…
When Chen Ye arrived backstage, he noticed that everyone was giving him strange looks—some even looked at him with disdain.
Chen Ye knew exactly why.
Like the spectators outside, these people assumed he had thrown the match.
But Chen Ye didn’t care at all about their opinions. He swaggered confidently into the resting room.
If anyone dared to question him directly, he wouldn’t mind letting them experience his “Divine Finger” firsthand!
When Chen Ye entered, Xiao Ling’er approached him immediately.
“Chen Ye, congratulations on winning another match!” Xiao Ling’er said cheerfully.
She was probably the only one who believed Chen Ye wasn’t involved in a fixed match.
Her belief came from her grandfather, who had once told her that Chen Ye’s abilities were unfathomable.
Noticing the odd stares around them, Xiao Ling’er stepped forward, saying, “Chen Ye, don’t mind them. I believe you.”
Chen Ye nodded and asked, “The semifinals and finals are tomorrow, right?”
“Yes,” Xiao Ling’er confirmed.
“Then let’s head back.”
“Huh? You’re not going to watch the rest of the matches?”
“No, they’re boring…”
Chen Ye spoke the truth.
To him, the remaining contestants were far too weak. Watching their matches was like watching children spar.
However, his comment instantly offended many people.
Most of the contestants in the resting room already believed he was involved in match-fixing, dismissing his victories.
Now, hearing his arrogant statement about how dull the other matches were, many couldn’t stand him.
Martial artists are known to speak their minds.
Immediately, someone spoke up: “Ha! A guy involved in a fixed match has the nerve to say others’ matches are boring?”
This remark was met with agreement.
“Exactly!”
“Hmph, an eyesore!”
“Don’t worry, anyone trying to cheat in the Martial Arts Tournament will get what’s coming to them.”
Hearing these taunts, Xiao Ling’er grew angry and was about to say something, but Chen Ye gently patted her on the shoulder, smiling as he said, “Let’s go.”
Xiao Ling’er was taken aback—she didn’t expect Chen Ye to remain calm and unbothered.
Seeing the relaxed look on his face, it seemed he truly didn’t care about what people said.
Suddenly, she found herself admiring this young man, who possessed a maturity and composure far beyond his age, making him hard to figure out.
…
At the Zhao family home, Zhao Fang and her father stared at the television, stunned.
Chen Ye had won again.
And he had done it in the same manner, with just one finger.
Watching the countless viewers on TV accuse the match of being fixed…
The Zhao family father and daughter were beginning to have their own doubts.
They knew Chen Ye well and believed he wasn’t the kind of person to fix matches. Besides, he didn’t have the clout to convince notable participants to cooperate in a rigged fight.
But!!
The way Chen Ye had won was just…
A simple finger tap, and a seeded contestant willingly surrendered?
The whole thing seemed too unbelievable!
“Dad, do you think Chen Ye…?”
“Don’t ask me. I have no idea,” Zhao’s father responded with a bitter smile. But then, he added firmly, “Still, I’ve watched Chen Ye grow up. There’s no way he’d cheat in a match!”
Zhao Fang sighed, “Looks like we’ll just have to ask him ourselves when he comes back.”
…
Even the Zhao family, who knew Chen Ye well, began to question his victories. So, it was no surprise how others reacted.
As the day’s tournament concluded.
The internet was flooded with videos of the matches.
Many well-known martial artists’ matches gained immense popularity, with some videos garnering billions of views.
Online discussions about the Martial Arts Tournament were endless.
“Wow! Li Yifei was amazing! He sliced his opponent’s weapon clean in half.”
“Whoa! Tang Zichen is already at the innate grandmaster level, able to project her inner energy!”
“Ryan Collins is brutal—he literally tore his opponent’s arm off!”
“Wait… is that elderly man really *the* legendary master?”
“Unbelievable! This year’s Martial Arts Tournament is insane with so many top-tier fighters!”
“This lineup is terrifying. No wonder they’re calling it the strongest tournament ever.”
“With so many powerhouses, the battle for the championship will be intense!”
…
The internet was abuzz, with netizens marveling at their favorite martial artists like star-struck fans.
Then, a certain media outlet released a headline that shook everyone:
**“BREAKING NEWS: Shocking Blackmail and Match-Fixing Discovered in the Qing’an City Martial Arts Tournament!”**
At first, netizens were skeptical.
Who would dare to fix matches in the world’s top martial arts competition?
Most people dismissed the report as clickbait, accusing the media outlet of going to extreme lengths for views.
But when some netizens watched the videos released by the media outlet, they began to reconsider.
“Holy crap, after watching the footage, it does look suspicious!”
“Damn, one finger to defeat a seeded contestant? That’s insane!”
“Sure, there are instances of one-hit KOs, but this guy’s moves definitely seem staged.”
“Could this really be match-fixing? How brazen can they be?”
“Damn it! If they’re rigging matches in the Martial Arts Tournament, we need to expose them. This has to get to the higher-ups!”
“Boycott the fake matches!”
“Boycott! We need the tournament officials to deal with these cheaters!”
…
The controversy surrounding the alleged “fixed match” in Qing’an City quickly went viral, trending across all platforms.
Netizens everywhere began calling for a boycott of match-fixing, demanding justice.
The Qing’an City officials were suddenly under immense pressure, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Before the higher-ups could even react, the city’s leadership reported the situation immediately, clarifying that there had been no match-fixing on their end.
With the situation spiraling, tournament officials at the highest level were alerted.
After a thorough investigation, including a detailed interview with Wang Chao, it was confirmed that no match-fixing had occurred. The official Martial Arts Tournament authorities finally released a statement.
