Chapter 262: Chapter 169: You Say Qin Shi Is of Unsavory Character? He Has the Support of Dongxia’s Four Pillars!_2

The spirit shattered and condensed repeatedly, causing him to furrow his brows tightly. This process inevitably brought pain, which could only be managed with a strong will.

Another thirty seconds passed. As if the spell was fully charged, a fissure as large as a millstone emerged spontaneously, swiftly slashing outward!

Chichichichichi!

The incredibly hard cavern rocks and dirt were like soft mud, easily cut open and almost split in half!

It finally dissipated after reaching eighty meters.

"Not even two-tenths of a second! This speed is terrifyingly fast!"

Sweat beaded on Qin Shi’s forehead, and his face turned slightly pale. This move almost drained his spiritual power, and even his transformed sea of consciousness couldn’t withstand such consumption.

The only spell skill of the ’Void Meditation Technique’ is the legendary Dimension Slash.

"He Lanchan once said during the inheritance that this spell skill doesn’t require deep understanding. By practicing and using it frequently, the skill level will naturally increase. Once it can be used as smoothly as a normal attack, it is considered to have reached great success."

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched as if he had a toothache.

He used it only once, and it emptied his body. If it were to be used as a normal attack, even breaking the three great limits of the body would turn him into a dry corpse.

...

...

At the makeshift command base, Chen Ruofu and Fang Butang exchanged glances, both with complex expressions in their eyes.

In less than two hours, the death toll soared again, and the number of withdrawals doubled.

In just one night, the number of participants in the periphery of the top hundred competition had significantly decreased.

"Your Inspection Department’s Qin is really bloodthirsty."

Fang Butang sipped his tea from a porcelain cup. Although he couldn’t see the battle scenes, the extinguishing of light dots and the alarms from electronic markers gave him a rough idea.

"He’s indeed a bit ruthless, journeying through the night, annihilating one team, then taking down Wu Tao, who was nearly the strongest in the outskirts, and eliminating a few others."

Chen Ruofu was also surprised at Qin Shi’s terrifying combat power, forcibly tearing through Ying’s blockade, smashing his way through life and death.

If Elder Zhang knew, he would definitely be excited enough to hit his wheelchair.

The Old Martial Sect’s favorite talents are those with solid foundations and fierce fighting prowess.

"With such commotion, the rescue team hasn’t caught a break all night. They must have alerted those two representatives. What’ll you say when they arrive?"

Fang Butang furrowed his brow, worried that the heated arguments later would turn ugly and unbecoming.

"What’s there to be afraid of!"

Chen Ruofu, however, remained composed, standing straight:

"They said it themselves; follow the rules. The top hundred competition is a competitive trial of pursuit, not cooperative teamwork. Given the confrontation, injuries are inevitable. Little Qin didn’t cheat..."

Central City’s Education Department representative, Zhou, stormed into the military tent with monitoring equipment, his expression dark:

"He didn’t cheat! An underclassman with a life force just over eighty, slaying Wen Han, Lin Kang, and Zheng Jun! Each of these students is a hotshot in Central City University! Minister Chen, please tell me, how is it reasonable that they all lost to a mere high schooler?"

Chen Ruofu didn’t bother to look directly at the furious Zhou representative, only responded indifferently:

"Geniuses, if they can’t break conventions and defy common understanding, what makes them geniuses? He Lanchan grew from the slums to one of the first ten outstanding figures, standing shoulder to shoulder with the influential Qi Wuxiang from Hai Province. The educational and cultivation resources they received were completely different in scale.

Judging by common logic, He Lanchan should never have surpassed Qi Wuxiang in his lifetime! Representative Zhou, you’re not a genius, so it’s normal you don’t understand."

The last sentence, spoken with a casual tone, deeply stung Representative Zhou.

What’s "I’m not a genius, so it’s normal I don’t understand"?

I’m also a top graduate from the Martial Arts System!

"Representative Li, your opinion! Qin Shi, without reason, harmed other participants with vicious and deadly methods! Isn’t that enough to prove his nature?"

After venting his anger, Representative Zhou quickly regained his composure, leveraging his bureaucratic skills to lay serious accusations.

The participants slain by Qin Shi were almost all from Central City and were top students from various universities.

Their collective loss in the Great Rift Valley amounted to at least a billion!

Representative Li felt embarrassed, seemingly unsure how to respond.

The accusation was baseless, and as a representative of the Martial Arts Association, it was challenging for him to agree.

He could only clear his throat and divert the conversation:

"Indeed, Mr. Qin’s combat skills are top-notch, befitting of someone on the Limit-Breaking Road of the Old Martial Sect, living up to the name."

But Representative Zhou, relentless, continued:

"The Old Martial Sect exclusively venerates martial prowess, unhesitatingly using any means to enhance themselves, even if it means touching taboos. He Lanchan... hmmm, despite his status, is not exactly spotless. Minister Chen, speaking objectively, how many deaths has Qin Shi contributed? Calling his methods ruthless and excessive is not an exaggeration, right?

And you know, the unchecked violence and desires of the Old Martial Sect pose enormous dangers. When faced with an insurmountable heart barrier and bottleneck, they usually stray off the correct path."

Chen Ruofu lowered his eyelids, as if contemplating, without rebutting.

This emboldened Representative Zhou further, his words firing like a machine gun:

"Minister Chen, you’ve been the head of Tai’an for many years, witnessing the Old Martial Sect being swept into the garbage heap. Every Old Martial Sect member attempting the Limit-Breaking Road is a potential criminal. The more talented the seed, the heavier the bottleneck and heart barrier."
