Cuiyu was not sure whether Yang Yu had directly used the Racial Essence or simply put it into his pocket.
Whichever choice it was, the selection competition for the autumn festival only restricted the use of tools that could restore one's physical status, and the Racial Essence used by Yang Yu clearly did not fall into this category. Naturally, he could not be disqualified for this.
Had Yang Yu indeed used the Racial Essence at that moment, he would need a substantial amount of time to fully absorb it, and there might even be some adverse reactions that could affect the outcome of the competition.
But this was not for Cuiyu to worry about; they had always played by the rules, which was why they were respected.
Not showing up in time for the match was considered a violation of the rules.
