Eternal Battlefield
Yin Changkong began to doubt himself.
Was he not a Martial Saint?
How could someone disrespect him so much?
Why was this young man named Lin Xiao so audacious?
Was he truly not afraid of death? Or did he think that with Jun Buhui present, he couldn't do anything to him?
He glanced at Jun Buhui beside him.
"Such arrogance will surely lead to great disaster in the future! Are all the people in your military so lawless?"
Jun Buhui smiled faintly.
"Young people, it's normal to be a bit wild."
This sentence was a direct retort.
Seeing this, Yin Changkong's expression was very displeased. He looked at Lin Xiao again.
"Without evidence, you dared to kill so wantonly. Do you know that Dragon Country has laws, and everyone must abide by the laws of Dragon Country!"
"If everyone were like you, disregarding the existence of laws, would Dragon Country still need to exist?"
Yin Changkong directly stood on the moral high ground of the law.
If you are not at the Peak, then you must abide by the sanctions of the law; this is reality!
Lin Xiao did not want to argue about this matter, because he knew it was meaningless.
He merely repeated his previous words.
"So, Martial Saint, what do you intend to do?"
This infuriated Yin Changkong. If not for Jun Buhui's presence, he would have loved to directly strike down this ant he detested with a single palm.
"Arrogant, disregardful of the law, indiscriminate killing of the innocent, and unrepentant. Since that is the case, you shall go down and accompany those you have killed!"
He intended to condemn Lin Xiao to a crime of death and the dissipation of his Dao!
There was an uproar in the arena; they had finally understood.
There was a conflict between Lin Xiao and the Martial Saint above!
Yin Changkong's gaze fell upon the Chief Justice directly below.
Feeling the gaze of the Martial Saint from above, the Chief Justice looked at Jun Buhui beside him.
This scene made Yin Changkong secretly grit his teeth.
And everyone also looked at Jun Buhui.
To put it bluntly, the final outcome of this trial still depended on the struggle between these two.
Yin Changkong also looked at him.
Jun Buhui remained silent for a moment, then slowly stood up under everyone's gaze.
"Lin Xiao, 17 years old."
"Awakened a dual SSS-grade ability talent, and in the same year, overwhelmingly claimed the title of king of prodigies, then participated in the national College Entrance Examination across grades, tearing apart the Alien Beast Alliance Prodigy, and winning the top scholar position in the College Entrance Examination."
"In the freshman competition of the five major universities, he represented Military Martial University and single-handedly won both the individual and team championships."
"Participated in the Northern Battlefield, achieved illustrious military merits, broke the historical curse of Dragon Country, counter-attacked a Martial King, and was evaluated as the youngest Major General in Dragon Country's history."
"Is the person I mentioned in the appeal you?"
Listening to the series of announcements,
Many people showed looks of shock. Most of them had been fighting on the battlefield for years and had no idea that such a Peerless Prodigy had appeared in the rear they were protecting with their lives.
Lin Xiao nodded under everyone's gaze.
"Replying to Martial Saint, it is I."
After receiving confirmation, Jun Buhui looked at the young man with great admiration.
"Excellent, truly worthy of being a student of my Military Martial University!"
This made Lin Xiao's eyes light up slightly. So, this Martial Saint was from Military Martial University.
He knew that his school had produced a total of three Martial Saints, one of whom was his teacher, Lin Yaotian.
Today, he met the second one, Jun Buhui!
"Jun Buhui, what do you mean!"
However, this declaration made Yin Changkong, who was sitting beside him, look extremely displeased.
What kind of Prodigy or not, what does it matter how much of a Prodigy he is?
Yin Changkong had lived for so long, what kind of Prodigy hadn't he seen?
But how many ultimately stood at the Peak?
This young man before him had clashed with him, even repeatedly ignoring him and contradicting him.
He couldn't tolerate it!
When did ants dare to defy the heavens?
"Yin Changkong, I told you you're petty. What kind of character does the Chu Family have? They did such inhumane things behind the scenes, they should have been wiped out long ago!"
"That is still not a reason for him to disregard the law!"
Yin Changkong firmly grasped the legal high ground of Dragon Country's laws. Once the law lost its balancing effect, Dragon Country would instantly fall into great turmoil.
Jun Buhui also knew the seriousness of the situation.
A vast Dragon Country needed laws to govern it.
"Lin Xiao, you are a Peerless Prodigy of Dragon Country and have achieved remarkable military merits, but you have violated the laws of Dragon Country. Do you admit to all of this?"
"I admit it."
By now, Lin Xiao had understood the truth: might makes right!
"Good!"
"Since that is the case, I sentence you to ten years of service on the Eternal Tribulation Battlefield. If, during that period, you can eliminate one hundred Martial Venerables and ten thousand Martial Kings from enemy forces, you may end your service early. Do you accept?"
Eternal Tribulation Battlefield!
Yin Changkong, standing nearby, heard this and his eyes flickered.
Finally, he let out a soft snort and closed his eyes, signifying his tacit acceptance of this punishment.
But the other people in the arena were discussing animatedly.
"I didn't expect it to be the Eternal Tribulation Battlefield!"
"That place is extremely dangerous, a battlefield for the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky. The number of people from Dragon Country who die on that battlefield every year is countless."
"This young man probably doesn't even know how terrifying that battlefield is."
"A full ten years, isn't that equivalent to a death sentence? Who can survive ten years in that hellish place?"
"Didn't you hear? The Martial Saint said that if he eliminates one hundred Martial Venerables and ten thousand Martial Kings, he can return early."
"Hehe, don't you want to hear what you're saying?"
Lin Xiao heard many of these voices.
He roughly understood what this Eternal Tribulation Battlefield was.
It was just a battlefield, nothing more.
This punishment was far lighter than he had imagined.
"Lin Xiao accepts!"
Finally,
The Supreme Military Tribunal announced the verdict.
Lin Xiao was sentenced to ten years of service on the Eternal Tribulation Battlefield, with the option for early retirement if conditions were met!
The entire process of the meeting was made public.
It was immediately pushed to the top position.
Many people in the Imperial Capital were still immersed in the shocking tragedy of the annihilation of the Chu Family, a Noble Family, and they were still wondering who had such power.
But they never expected it to be Lin Xiao!
A seventeen-year-old boy actually wiped out a Noble Family!
"Holy cow! Is that real or fake? Has my God Lin become this awesome? Wiping out a Noble Family just like that?"
"Bro, shouldn't you be paying attention to that Eternal Tribulation Battlefield? I heard it's extremely dangerous!"
"What's there to be afraid of? My God Lin is invincible, alright. He kills gods if they block his way, and Buddhas if they block his way! A mere Eternal Tribulation Battlefield, God Lin will just blast through it!"
"Too fierce. I'm also seventeen, and I'm still in my second year of high school. Will I ever be able to catch up to God Lin's heels in this life?"
The internet was filled with one-sided opinions. Surprisingly, this time, most people sided with Lin Xiao.
They did not think Lin Xiao's actions were excessive.
On the contrary, the impact of this incident made Lin Xiao even more revered in the hearts of many young people in Dragon Country.
"That's right! What if they're Noble Families? Whoever dares to stand in front of my God Lin, he'll directly wipe out their Family!"
These words were a bit extreme.
But Lin Xiao's fans had reached an extremely fervent level.
They looked forward to God Lin once again displaying his Divine Might.
And the person involved, Lin Xiao, had already left the Imperial Capital.
The higher-ups gave him three days to handle personal matters; they truly weren't treating him as a criminal at all.
As he walked, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Without a single ripple, it startled Lin Xiao.
After seeing who it was, Lin Xiao's heart was filled with excitement.
"Teacher!"
The person who came was Lin Yaotian.
"Let's go, let's go."
His voice was very ordinary. This was an old man who would have no presence if he were thrown into a crowd.
Lin Xiao immediately followed. He hadn't seen his teacher in a long time, and he didn't know how to find him.
"Lin Xiao, any thoughts?"
Lin Yaotian looked at this student. He hadn't intervened in this matter. If he had, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
"Student has understood a truth: as long as one's strength is sufficient, no one can bully you!"
"What you said is both right and wrong."
Lin Xiao listened attentively.
"If your strength is sufficient, indeed no one can bully you. But while your strength is strong, your heart must be even stronger! Unless you, Lin Xiao, become invincible in this vast Universe in the future, then you naturally won't need to care about anything else."
Lin Yaotian spoke one sentence with each step.
"That Yin Changkong, perhaps for the current you, is strong enough, so he can influence you. But his heart is not strong enough; in my opinion, he is just so-so."
Lin Xiao heard the disdain in his teacher's words. It seemed that even Martial Saints had varying levels of power.
Clearly, his teacher should be much stronger than that Yin Changkong.
"Remember, a strong inner self is true strength! No matter what level you reach in the future, you must not lose your original intention!"
Lin Yaotian stopped walking. He turned to look at the young man beside him.
His deep pupils seemed capable of seeing through everything about the other person.
Lin Xiao was awe-struck. He still held immense respect for the teacher before him.
"Student will remember!"
"Good, go now. There's someone else waiting for you ahead!"
Lin Yaotian came suddenly and left just as suddenly.
Lin Xiao followed his teacher's direction and saw the back of an old man.
The old man gently turned his head, and the aura emanating from him, from within, made Lin Xiao feel extraordinary.
"Student Lin Xiao, we finally meet."
