Chapter 504: Chapter 115: I Invite You to Battle with Me!

"Whoosh!"

A paper scissor shot through the air!

No one expected... that at the last moment, Lian Zhou would choose to launch a surprise attack!

The outcome had been determined.

If Gong Zi had not withdrawn his hand... then that punch just now would have exploded his head!

Gong Zi’s complexion was a bit pale.

He looked at the paper scissor stabbing towards his brow.

The speed of the paper scissor was too fast.

It even shredded the void!

...

...

However.

Someone was faster than the paper scissor.

The moment the paper scissor’s trembling disappeared, the few high-level Transcendents of the Gong Family changed their expressions dramatically and rose to their feet instantly.

The moment they moved to the center of the venue, a sharp clang of metal striking metal had already sounded.

The paper scissor was fiercely thrown out, embedding itself in the roof of the Taoist School.

Zhou Wei maintained the motion of raising his hand and flicking his sleeve.

He was faster than everyone else.

In just an instant, he sent the paper scissor flying!

No matter how powerful a sealed object is... it depends on who wields it.

Lian Zhou’s power fell far short of that of a true top-tier giant.

After Elder Zhou swatted away the paper scissor, he slowly turned his frigid gaze towards Lian Zhou, who had initiated the attack.

He slapped back with his hand.

"Slap" went the sound.

This slap was given without any courtesy, sending Lian Zhou spinning through the air, like a sandbag!

And this slap was also a slap in Zhu Wang’s face!

Zhu Wang, who had ascended to the position of a Grand Judge, had hints of anger flowing in his eyes. With his fingers pretending to hold something, the paper scissor embedded in the rooftop of the Taoist School was instantly snatched back to his palm.

This time, the paper scissor’s speed was hundreds to thousands of times faster than before!

Only a very few people managed to clearly see the precise trajectory of that shadowy figure.

The moment Zhu Wang grasped the paper scissor.

Gu Qilin also stood up. Expressionless, he awaited Zhu Wang’s next move, ready to unleash the domain of the Infinite Scale behind him at any moment, enveloping the entire Taoist School.

At this move.

The entire Taoist School tensed up... The Grand Judge and Great Commander were confronted!

This was the biggest news of this year’s rookie battle!

If these two really started fighting... then the subsequent developments would overshadow all other news from Snow Forbidden City!

Zhou Wei stood between the two.

He withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Lian Zhou who had been knocked unconscious with one slap.

At the moment Lian Zhou made his move.

Zhou Wei felt something was off... Only a lunatic would choose to strike under the circumstances just now with so many top-tier Transcendents present, plus the fact that he was right beside Gong Zi.

Assassination?

It was foolish!

It was doomed to fail!

And when he made contact with Lian Zhou’s spirit with that slap... Zhou Wei had his answer. The Security Committee’s initial suspicion was very accurate; this kid’s spiritual power was already out of control.

Perhaps due to the "spiritual suggestion" from his Taoist School, the only thing left in Lian Zhou’s heart was the thought of winning.

To defeat Gong Zi... at any cost! By any means necessary!

When the rationality of a Transcendent is swallowed, nothing is too crazy for them to do.

"Thud!" echoed the sound.

A cane slammed heavily into the ground, and a strong and thick spiritual power enveloped the entire Taoist School.

"It is now announced..."

The chairman of the Federation Security Committee spoke in a cold voice: "The Judgement Institute, the temporary Grand Judge Zhu Wang’s disciple, Lian Zhou, is suspected of illegally using forbidden methods of the Federation, obtaining Taboo Power... leading to a loss of control over his spirit and initiating a sealed object to assassinate a Federation official. The numerous charges are not yet clear, or there may be additional ones, so we are taking him into custody for questioning."

Loss of spiritual control, attempting to assassinate a Federation official.

This charge was actually quite serious.

Because the person Lian Zhou intended to assassinate... was his opponent in the final battle, Gong Zi.

But in the end, the one who sent the paper scissor flying with a slap... was Zhou Wei, the chairman of the Security Committee. From this perspective, it’s hard to say who the paper scissor was really aimed at – Gong Zi or Zhou Wei.

"Bring him down!"

Zhou Wei ordered coldly.

The members of the Committee, who had already been crouching all around the Taoist School, even densely controlling the ceiling, immediately streamed in. They had received the chairman’s orders the previous night and arrived at the Taoist School early in preparation... since there was no concrete evidence for arrest, not even a contingency plan in place, the Committee members were prepared to return without accomplishment.

They excitedly burst through the door and, under the gaze of all, took Lian Zhou away in handcuffs.

This was one of the Security Committee members’ favorite tasks, bar none!

And watching his own disciple being taken away.

Zhu Wang didn’t say a word.

"Mr. Temporary Grand Judge."

Zhou Wei insisted on using Zhu Wang’s full title. With a poker face, he maintained impeccable basic etiquette as he said methodically, "This matter may involve an abuse of your authority... Currently, I do not have the right to detain you, but I am entitled to inform you in front of everyone that, if subsequent investigations uncover evidence linking you to your disciple Lian Zhou’s ’loss of mental control,’ then the Security Committee will file a complaint with the East Continent Federation. At that time, you’ll need to accompany me."

Zhu Wang narrowed his eyes.

The reason he bestowed the paper scissor...

The reason he let Lian Zhou break through right before the battle...

Was due to the unexpected joy of being appointed as the "temporary Grand Judge," which gave him a glimpse of a ray of dawn that was about to fade away. He needed greater prestige, better "performance," and more convincing Authority Power to hold onto these things that originally didn’t belong to him.
