Chapter 310: Dispute in Court

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

It was him?

Ferrot!

The five meters tall giant figure of Ferrot was simply too eye-catching. Feng Lin instantly narrowed his eyes when he saw this man. His gaze turned as sharp as a blade. This man was none other than Ferrot from the United States of America Planet.

Earlier, the Great Qin Flying Shuttle had encountered attacks from the Spirit Race and crumbled apart. The people inside all fled for their lives and Feng Lin was plotted against, left behind by Ferrot who wanted him to die in the hands of the attacking spirit lifeforms.

Who could have thought that right now, this bastard actually turned the situation around and wanted to frame him as a traitor?

With the old and new debts added together, a killing light gleamed in Feng Lin’s eyes.

“Great judge, did you see his gaze? How terrifying is that, he wants to kill me! He must be hating the fact that I exposed his ugly side, the traitor of humanity! The hatred he feels for me must be so deep that it seeps into the bones!” The giant Ferrot might look like a boorish person, but his heart was actually ruthless and meticulous. The moment he walked into the military tribunal, he immediately started splashing dirty water at Feng Lin, drawing the attention of everyone.

Feng Lin drew in a deep breath and retracted the sharp light in his gaze. He understood that this opponent wasn’t simple to deal with. Ferrot was like an evil wolf. The moment he exposed any weakness, Ferrot would pounce over and take a bite off his flesh.

This Ferrot’s aura was very imposing, but since he was making a charge, he needed to have evidence.

The great judge and jury naturally wouldn’t hear one-sided testimony. But it was inevitable that the ill-will they felt toward Feng Lin would increase.

Ferrot’s purpose had been achieved. Next, he wanted to deliver the killing blow.

“Judge, please look at this recording!”

The flying shuttle crumbled apart and a figure could be seen sitting there, not moving at all. A group of spirit lifeforms was wailing around him, yet they didn’t move a step toward him. It didn’t seem that they were going to attack, and it looked like they were protecting him instead.

“Judge, please look, everyone please look. The flying shuttle crumbled and this Feng Lin didn’t rush to the life-saving cabin but instead joined up with the spirit lifeforms. How could a tiny elite cultivator like him return alive? Look, they didn’t attack him and were protecting him instead. If he isn’t a traitor to humanity, who could it be?” Ferrot seemed to have found the greatest flaw of Feng Lin as he spoke loudly. His words were like swords, wanting to pierce through Feng Lin completely.

Swish, swish, swish~

Instantly, countless sharp gazes gathered on Feng Lin as though they wanted to tear Feng Lin apart.

“This fellow is actually a traitor to humanity!”

“How savage his thoughts are? When facing the judgment of everyone, he could still speak so imposingly earlier. I want to see how he would explain now.

“His personality is extremely cunning. We must give him the death sentence and bury him with those geniuses and interstellar warriors who died unjust deaths!”

…

The feelings of the crowd were aroused. In the military tribunal, shouts of killing rang out.

“Silence!” The judge roared, suppressing the noises. He then questioned Feng Lin in a heavy voice, “Defendant, do you have any explanations? Why didn’t the spirit lifeforms attack you when you sat there cross-legged?”

Things were extremely grave now!

Feng Lin’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He knew how negative the situation was right now.

The spirit lifeforms were incomparably bizarre; they didn’t have any substance to their bodies and were a type of energy creatures. They were able to silently invade people’s consciousness and possess them.

Moreover, it would be extremely difficult for cultivators at the elite cultivator realm to resist.

This touched upon the secrets of his cultivation. How could he divulge his secrets so easily?

Feng Lin stated the truth, revealing some information about his cultivation, but he naturally didn’t touch too deeply and reveal the whole truth.

“This is my genetic ability. It wasn’t that the spirit lifeforms didn’t want to attack me. Rather, it was me who locked in all my aura, my thoughts, and my will deep within myself, causing them to find it impossible to invade my mind. Hence, they could only drift about outside.”

“What genetic ability?” Ferrot questioned intensely. “An ability that could allow an elite cultivator to survive with no injuries amidst attacks by the spirit lifeforms? Why have I never heard about such an extraordinary and powerful genetic ability before? If it really existed, and if this spread through the universe, wouldn’t the Spirit Race not be a threat to humanity anymore?”

His thoughts were filled with venom as he kept poking holes at Feng Lin’s words. It felt like he was following up on a victory and continued to press the attack.

“That’s right. If there really is such an ability, humanity wouldn’t be as helpless against the Spirit Race as before!”

“Don’t be silly, how can such an ability exist?”

“Is the traitor lying?”

…

The jury whispered to each other.

“Defendant Feng Lin, can you explain further? What genetic ability is that exactly?” asked the judge while exuding a formless pressure on Feng Lin.

But the more it was so, the more he couldn’t panic.

Feng Lin stared straight at the judge’s eyes; he had no fear in his heart as he replied, “Your honor, this genetic ability is something I innately possess due to the mythological path I’ve created. It’s known as the Stonebirth Transformation. It can isolate all invading energy and greatly heighten my defense.”

He summarized the Stonebirth Transformation’s ability simply, but he didn’t leak his secret about him walking on Sun Wukong’s path or any core information about his genetic equation ability.

All these were secrets that he would never give up.

“What Stonebirth Transformation? You are simply weaving bullshit. Your honor, you mustn’t believe him. You said that you created your own mythological path? Do you think you are one of those geniuses that can dominate the universe?” Ferrot interjected loudly.

“That’s right. Creating your own mythological path? This is too ridiculous!”

“Seems like this traitor cannot withstand the grilling questions any longer.”

“One must know that those who created their own mythological paths at the elite cultivation realm all ended up as major characters in the universe. But what are the chances of that? Is this something achievable by this traitor?”

….

The jury started discussing.

The pressure of public opinion was boring down on Feng Lin.

From their point of view, Feng Lin was clearly a traitor. It was useless even if he explained more.

“If you cannot take out any concrete evidence, I’m going to give my judgment.” The judge’s voice boomed like thunder.

Feng Lin didn’t say anything.

The Sun Wukong Mythological path and evolutionary pathways were secrets he had to conceal.

He could not reveal them, even if he did, the situation would only be worse for him.

This involved his greatest secret, the genetic equation ability!

If they forced the truth out of him, even if he managed to avoid the judgment of this court, everyone in the universe would covet his ability and try to capture him to torture the secret out from him.

At that time, no matter how vast the universe was, there would be no place for him.

Under Ferrot’s targeted questions, Feng Lin knew that speech was already useless if he wanted to defend himself.

Feng Lin knew that it was useless to say anything more. Even if he told the truth, everyone would feel that he was lying.

Because, in the hearts of the judge and jury, they already had the preconceived notion that he was the traitor; they wouldn’t believe him.

If he wanted to reverse the situation, he could only take out irrefutable proof.

“The Stonebirth Transformation is something that only I have. I can activate it now to show you all.” Even though he was at the edge of a precipice, Feng Lin didn’t panic. He was thinking about how he could reverse the situation.

“Your honor, the words of this traitor is not trustworthy at all. He might use some other methods to mimic the effects, but how can we prove that the genetic ability he is activating now can block the invasion of the spirit lifeforms?” Ferrot spoke.

However, the judge was silently regarding Feng Lin. He had his own judgment about this. He then spoke in a heavy voice, “We can prove it.”

“What?” The people on the scene were shocked.

“Two-Realm Mirror!” At the next instant, a powerful spirit force gushed forth from the judge’s forehead, enveloping the space around Feng Lin.

Feng Lin felt his surroundings changing. It was like he was teleported into another dimension.

It felt like the other side of a mirror; those people were outside of the mirror while he was in it.

Wu, wu, wu~

The air fluctuated with electromagnetic waves, and a cold, cruel intent permeated the atmosphere.

Feng Lin glanced over in astonishment. He saw several octopus-like spirit lifeforms floating toward him.

Spirit Race!

This judge actually managed to capture some spirit lifeforms and was rearing them? How terrifying!

Those people here exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, Feng Lin was in the same dimension as the spirit lifeforms. They seemed to have smelled his blood and instantly rushed over, wanting to surround him. The atmosphere felt very sinister. The moment they came into contact with a human, the warmth in the human’s body would instantly be absorbed away as the human would be frozen solid.

Stonebirth Transformation!

Feng Lin’s hands folded gestures and a jade-like luster covered his skin, maximizing the ability of being impervious to fire and water. He fully displayed the ability of the Stonebirth Transformation.

Those spirit lifeforms surrounded him, manifesting gusts of chilled winds that whistled relentlessly.

However, their formless bodies seemed to ram into a wall of steel when they came in contact with Feng Lin. They were bounced back every time they tried.

“His words were actually true?!”

“This so-called Stonebirth Transformation could actually resist the Spirit Race!”

“His words are real!”

“Could it be that he isn’t a traitor?”

…..

The truth instantly grew harder to determine.

Feng Lin displayed his Stonebirth Transformation; it was a perfect proof of his innocence.

He sat inside the mirror realm for a total of fifteen minutes, guarding himself carefully.

Those spirit lifeforms let out howls of rage, but they weren’t able to break through Feng Lin’s defenses.

The judge’s eyes gleamed as he stared at Feng Lin. His eyes felt like X-rays, wanting to see through Feng Lin completely and discover all his secrets.

However, an invisible spirit force barrier enveloped Feng Lin, making him seamless. There were no flaws in his physical, mental, or spiritual defenses at all.

There was nothing that could seep through the barrier!

Furthermore, other gazes from the military tribunal were focused on Feng Lin, wanting to see through him as well. However, their senses were all blocked.

Retract!

The judge’s eyes narrowed as he retracted his mirror realm. The spirit lifeforms vanished as well like they were nothing but illusions.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Feng Lin used concrete evidence to prove his innocence.

“Your honor, you must not believe him! Please take a look at this recording!” Ferrot didn’t want to give up and released another recording to the court.

In the scene, Feng Lin’s entire person was like a sealed rock, drifting in space and enduring the boundless radiation from the universe, yet nothing happened to him.

“What sort of scene is this?” Ferrot spoke in a heavy voice. “Even if his Stonebirth Transformation’s ability is strong, how can he survive in outer space like that? This is simply impossible as only cultivators at the elite adept realm could barely manage to survive. He is a mere elite cultivator, so how is it possible that he didn’t die?”

(Did Ferrot finally reveal a flaw?)

Feng Lin’s eyes shone with a bright light; he discovered that the angle in which the scene was taken was very strange. It looked like the recorder was very close to Feng Lin.

If Feng Lin didn’t remember wrongly, at that time, only the spirit lifeforms were around him!

How did Ferrot manage to get his hands on this recording?

“I also have a recording. Everyone, please take a look.” A smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face as he activated his microchip.

The sound of uproarious laughter rang out.

“Hahaha… Feng Lin, we will make a move first. We can only trouble you to block the rear for us. If we safely escape, we will definitely not forget you!” In the scene, Ferrot punched out, causing powerful flame currents to destroy the tunnel, block Feng Lin from entering, and trap him in that desperate situation where he was surrounded by countless spirit lifeforms.

“Your honor, don’t believe him! He is trying to frame me!” Ferrot was shocked and angered.

Feng Lin calmly continued, “Your honor, even if I only have a 10% probability of being innocent, this also means that my recording has a 10% chance of being the truth. After Ferrot tried to harm me, I managed to survive, and upon seeing that his plan failed, he was trying to frame me as a traitor to humanity. In fact, doesn’t he seem even more suspicious? It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Ferrot also has a 10% chance of being a traitor to humanity!”

As the sound of his voice faded, shocked silence filled the air.

Swish, swish, swish~

Countless gazes instantly turned toward Ferrot like needles piercing into his back, causing Ferrot to tremble in anxiousness.
