The words had fallen.

Chen Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

"A dismemberment case of an outsider race? How come I didn't know about it." The beautiful examiner looked at Chen Yu with confusion, "Which two outsider races?"

"The Lunarmagus Lasar Clan and the Secret Yibu Tribe," the brawny man answered. "The victims were two Transcendents from the outsider races who were participating in this year's assessment. We found their bodies using the mobile routes downloaded from the satellite. Based on the satellite surveillance routes of each contestant, Mr. Chen Yu had overlaps in location with the two deceased.

Therefore, he is a major suspect."

Upon hearing this, the examiner's countenance visibly darkened. "Monitoring the contestants' location information is under the management of my proctor team. How did you get it from the Inspection Bureau?"

"That's not convenient to explain," the brawny man gripped firmly onto Chen Yu's shoulder. "In any case, Mr. Chen Yu, we must take you away."

Silent, Chen Yu looked up to the examiner, pitifully pleading, "Dear, save me."

The examiner: "..."

Her brows furrowed tightly, she asked Chen Yu, "Did you kill those two outsiders?"

"Of course not," Chen Yu shook his head firmly.

The brawny man: "Whether you did or didn't, we will find out after the investigation. Your words don't count."

"Participating in the graduation assessment comes with the risk of injury or death. All participants had also signed up for the life-and-death contract in advance," the examiner floated down, positioning herself in front of Chen Yu. "Isn't it normal to be killed if you are outmatched?"

"Ordinary death is normal, but to brutally murder and dismember someone is not." The brawny man replied confrontationally. "This severely affects our diplomatic relations with the outsider races. After discovering the dismembered corpses on the examination grounds, the ambassadors from both outsider races were extremely angry."

"But the fighting arena is ongoing, and I won't release anyone."

"If that's your attitude, then I'm sorry, but I have to be forceful..."

"Boom!"

Before the brawny man could finish, the examiner instantly unleashed a terrifying wave of supernatural power!

The sweeping whirlwind even forced Chen Yu and the onlooking Transcendents half a step back.

The brawny man hurriedly released his grip on Chen Yu's shoulder, changing his tone, "Then I'm sorry, I'll have to inform the headquarters."

The examiner: "Get lost."

"Fine, I'll get lost."

Turning, the brawny man waved and left hastily. "Let's go."

These people came quickly and left just as fast.

In barely half a minute, they were gone without a trace.

"Awesome." Chen Yu raised his thumb, flattering, "Madam Examiner, you're fierce! Incredible!"

"Those two outsiders, did you really do it?" the examiner asked seriously.

"I didn't." Chen Yu raised his hand to swear, "I wouldn't target some alien guys, leaving all those lovely girls alone. I'm not that desperate."

"I can vouch for that." The long-haired man finally got a chance to speak, "With his strength, it's unrealistic to think he could murder two 'outsider' Transcendents."

Due to limited spots, the Transcendents from the outsider races invited to participate in the annual human assessments were all top-tier "young elites."

This was also one of the main reasons why human Transcendents struggled to take first place each year.

To single-handedly kill two outsiders and come out unscathed.

The long-haired man didn't believe Chen Yu was capable of it.

"So, in my opinion," the long-haired man straightened the underwear on his head and sneered repeatedly, "The Inspection Bureau, instead of suspecting him, might as well suspect me."

Chen Yu: "...you damn freak, take off my underwear."

Gazing deeply at Chen Yu, the examiner spoke with profound eyes, "Anyway, Chen Yu, prepare yourself mentally. We and the Inspection Bureau are separate departments, and the Inspection Bureau is a direct institution under the Great Emperor's command; they have high authority, and I can't help you."

"Understood," Chen Yu nodded.

"Going by the time, you will probably be taken away once your arena match is over."

"Understood."

Without saying more, the examiner turned and flew into the sky.

"Taken away after the fighting arena match is over." Chen Yu lowered his head, deep in thought, "Then..."

"Then don't let 'it' end."

...

Shortly after.

The second round of the arena match also ended.

The loser was yet another human Transcendent.

The tens of thousands of spectators on the scene sighed in disappointment yet their morale was high. Their "unusual" mental state was just like the fans of Chen Yu's previous life's national football team.

"Next up, the first round, third match of the fighting arena! Number 4 human Transcendent ***, please come to the stage alongside a contestant from the Yalu'ersi Commercial Alliance," the examiner announced with a raised hand, her voice echoing far and wide.

The long-haired man, who was about to enter the stage, stopped again, feeling that something was off. He raised his glass ball marked '2' and shouted towards the examiner, "2! 2! Where's 2?!" Stay tuned for updates on empire

"What 2?" the examiner looked towards the long-haired man.

"It's 2's turn to go on stage."

At those words, the examiner was startled: "2? Wasn't it just 3?"

"If you can't differentiate between 2 and 3, you're so two..." Chen Yu nearly blurted out the joke reflexively. But considering the joke was pretty lame, he held it back.

Seeing a hiccup in the fighting arena's progression.

In the vast coliseum, the tens of thousands of spectators started talking to each other, causing an uproar.

The deputy examiner, who had been silently standing in the corner, flew up to whisper a few words to the beautiful main examiner.

Then the examiner realized her mistake and immediately rearranged the match order, "Sorry. Due to my earlier mistake, two number 3 contestants were mistakenly called up. Now, for the first round, third match of the fighting arena, we will have the two contestants numbered 2. Please come to the stage."
