Chapter 311: Who Is The Traitor?

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The situation instantly reversed.
Ferrot was shocked and angered. He didn’t expect the situation to turn bad for him. Feng Lin was as calm as ever and actually dug a huge hole for him. But who could he complain to?
“Your honor and the esteemed members of the jury, please do not listen to the words of this traitor. He hates me for exposing his identity and intentionally wants to frame a good guy.” He spoke with a straight face, tossing dirty water at Feng Lin.
But right now, he had already become a suspect. How credible would his words be?
In fact, the more anxious he sounded, the more suspicious people would be.
“Silence.” The judge calmly spoke, appearing imposing without being angry. His voice boomed out like thunder in the skies, suppressing all other noises.
Numerous gazes gathered on Ferrot, filled with judgmental looks.
This Ferrot was trying so hard to target the defendant Feng Lin. Between the two of them, one must be the traitor.
Now, the defendant had used an irrefutable method to prove his innocence, and more than half of the suspicion on him was cleared. In that case, this matter now was truly thought-provoking.
The evidence Ferrot had used to blame Feng Lin began to crumble. Was there some great hatred between the two of them that led him to deliberately name Feng Lin as the traitor?
After Feng Lin brought up his conjecture, the jury members thought back to the many details they had missed before.
Back when the Great Qin Flying Shuttle had crumbled, the warning inside the shuttle had told everyone to swiftly move toward the life-saving cabin.
Feng Lin had taken the initiative to rush there and originally, he should have reached the cabin first. But in the end, he had been overtaken by Ferrot and his path into the cabin had been severed.
Before the attack of the Spirit Race, Feng Lin had almost exchanged blows with Ferrot. From their observations, Ferrot had a giant stature and his speed wasn’t that fast. How could Ferrot have overtaken him when they were rushing toward the life-saving cabin?
This conjecture was a little terrifying!
Unless… this Ferrot was a companion of the Spirit Race and they didn’t obstruct him at all! This was why he could have run so quickly through them and arrived at the tunnel leading into the life-saving cabin before Feng Lin!
“A guilty party filing the suit? What an excellent plan. So it turns out that you are the true traitor!” A cold smile could be seen on Pu Ye’s face.
Although the situation had changed, there was no concrete proof yet. From all aspects, Feng Lin was still the person with the most suspicion.
“Defendant Feng Lin, what is going on?” The tone of the judge grew much calmer. He then asked in a heavy face, “Don’t you have a private flying shuttle of your own? Why didn’t you directly use that to leave when the Great Qin Flying Shuttle was destroyed? Instead, you chose to risk your life and drift through outer space.”
“Because there were simply too many spirit lifeforms around me. I had no way to leave directly at that point in time. The moment I took out my collapsible flying shuttle, those spirit lifeforms would also take the chance to invade and destroy my shuttle. If that really happened, that would truly be the end of the rope for me. Hence, I intentionally entered a false-dead state to numb the senses of the spirit lifeforms. At the end, when they were chasing the escape pods and floated far away, I have taken the chance to activate my flying shuttle and fled the scene with my fastest speed.” Feng Lin’s tone might be calm, but the danger in the scenes he had described caused many people to be filled with admiration.
A tiny elite cultivator managed to flee successfully amidst the encirclement of the Spirit Race. Guts, Bravery, Intelligence, Strength—he didn’t lack any of these aspects. He was truly extraordinary.
If this Feng Lin really wasn’t a traitor, wouldn’t he be an extremely rare genius student?
This military tribunal placed Feng Lin in an extremely disadvantageous position, but at the same time, he also managed to display his other strengths before everyone.
The major characters from the various academies were here in this court. They exchanged glances, and their attitudes were slowly changing.
From hostility, to coldness, to calm…and in the end, there gradually was a little…admiration?
Ferrot could also sense that the atmosphere didn’t feel too right. He shouted, “Your honor, esteemed members of the jury, please don’t be tricked by him! Everyone knows that only after a human cultivator cultivated to the adept realm would they be able to take the starting step of trying to travel in space with their physical bodies. How could a tiny elite cultivator accomplish this? This is too illogical!”
“If everything is for the sake of survival, it’s logical.” Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t sit there passively with Ferrot tossing dirty water on him. He spoke with a tone that could sever iron, “Your honor, I can prove my words. Can you give me a simulation of space’s environment?”
“Sure” The judge spoke. Seeing that Feng Lin was very confident, admiration could be seen in his eyes.
Ferrot suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Two-Realm Mirror!
The judge once again used his powerful spirit force to cleave apart the space, placing Feng Lin into the mirror world.
But this time around, the environment Feng Lin found himself in was the vast outer space with no other creatures.
Darkness, cold, deathly silence…
Air, light, and warmth—they were all sucked away.
Huge pressure caused his body to enter a state of compression as basic material particles were vaporized from the pores of his skin. He was losing water and rapidly turning into an ice crystal.
Stonebirth Transformation!
Feng Lin’s thoughts, will, and intentions entered the depths of his heart as he was now in a false-dead state. He began to enter a deeper layer of the Stonebirth Transformation; all aura from him was concealed.
A human figure could be seen floating in the void. His skin was covered by a shell, and he was like a lifeless rock, simply drifting along. There was neither beginning nor end; it was unknown where he would end up.
“What a miraculous ability!”
“It is actually the truth. I can sense the fluctuations of a genetic ability!”
“What mythological path is this? This Feng Lin really is a genius that has created his own mythological path, how unbelievable!”
“There isn’t a single strand of the Spirit Race’s aura from him!”
…
Countless mental probe swept through Feng Lin. After that, many old fellows of the Great Wall University nodded in confirmation.
As Feng Lin continuously proved himself, the suspicion on him had greatly decreased.
The gazes of these people actually turned fervent when they stared at Feng Lin.
Such a young cultivator was actually able to create a brand new mythological pathway for himself, and he had also successfully managed to enter the next realm. What talent was this?
This talent was extremely rare!
Even if his current strength was insufficient, his potential far surpassed those geniuses who were already at the grand cultivator realm.
And there was no need to mention his origins. Feng Lin was absolutely a genius! He was born in the backwater solar system where the spirit particles were clearly insufficient. Yet, he had managed to climb all the way until here and increase his strength to his current height via constant fighting rather than depending on medicinal resources. This point alone made Feng Lin far more valuable compared to many other geniuses.
Retract!
After ten minutes, the simulated universe where Feng Lin was in suddenly changed back to normal. The judge retracted his technique after seeing that Feng Lin’s words were true.
Feng Lin slowly opened his eyes and heaved a breath of cold air, recovering the energy he had expended.
Using this technique to survive in space wasn’t without a price.
Understanding shone in the eyes of everyone; they felt that it was only logical.
For a small elite cultivator to survive in space like the universe lifeforms, there must be a price to pay.
Without realizing it, their gazes toward Feng Lin gradually became warm.
And compared to Feng Lin, the suspicion on Ferrot greatly increased!
Who was the traitor exactly?
Countless gazes swept between the two of them.
The two of them had been at each other’s throat; one of them was definitely a traitor.
But who was it?
“Your honor, the evidence is still insufficient. We have no way to verify the identity of these two people. Why don’t we use a soul inspection? By doing so, nothing can be concealed from us any longer!” An old man from the jury suggested this idea.
“That’s right. Although the cost of doing a soul inspection is great, it’s worth a try!”
“We must find the traitor for the sake of those students who died a wrongful death!”
…
Numerous shouts for vengeance rang out.
The judge paused for some moments. After that, he asked, “Do you two agree?”
“Sure.” Feng Lin didn’t fear this at all. He had no guilt in his heart.
“What?” Ferrot’s expression drastically changed. The panic and alarm in his heart surged up incomparably.
