Chapter 641 Tang 3's Psychological Trauma
Chapter 641 Tang San's Psychological Trauma
Inside the exclusive rest room of the Spirit Hall's second team.
Night Seven Wind and the seven girls from the Second Team were also watching the public trial with great interest.
As expected, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also there, standing close to Ye Qifeng on either side, never leaving his side, getting closer and closer.
…………
The viewing area for the participating college teams.
Because the competition was delayed by an hour, all the participating teams that had not been persecuted in those years gathered here to watch.
The teachers and students of the participating academies naturally disliked, and could even say were extremely hostile, towards Shi Nian, the culprit who harmed elite students during the Soul Master Elite Competition.
After all, no one knows whether the other party will target them or secretly harm them.
Such a scourge must not be allowed to continue living in this world.
The teachers and students of the participating colleges were very firm in their support for this public trial.
The Five Elements Academy teams are also among them.
Huo Wu crossed her arms, her jade-like arms supporting her ample bosom. Her wine-red figure sat upright in the first row of the spectator seats, exuding a heroic and dashing aura.
However, her attention did not seem to be on the public trial that was about to take place below. Her dark red eyes kept glancing towards the private rest room of the Spirit Hall's second team where Ye Qifeng was, with a faint resentment hidden in her eyes.
Since revealing that she possesses the cultivation level of a Soul King, Huo Wu has received an extraordinary amount of attention from the outside world. Wherever she appears, she attracts the attention of countless people, regardless of gender.
As a result, her travel was also affected to some extent.
In order to avoid revealing his relationship with Ye Qifeng, and also to avoid revealing the connection between Blazing Fire City and the Spirit Hall.
In the Heaven Dou Imperial City, which is full of Heaven Dou royal family spies, Huo Wu can only act cautiously, reduce the time she spends with Ye Qifeng, and focus more on the competition of Blazing Fire Academy.
No matter how much she missed Ye Qifeng, she could only endure it for the time being. Only when she could no longer bear it would she secretly go to meet Ye Qifeng.
Fortunately, she had the ice silk mask given to her by Ye Qifeng, which could change her shape and appearance and hide her aura, so no one could detect her whereabouts.
Only when Ye Qifeng was by her side did she truly feel happy and at ease.
Of course, it would be even better if those two guys, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, weren't causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Huo Wu felt a pang of resentment. She couldn't help but twitch her nose and let out a soft nasal sound. "Hmph—that wretched Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, how dare they steal my man?"
Let you be arrogant for a while. After this Elite Soul Master Competition is over, I'll move to Wuhun City and stick to him every day. Let's see how arrogant you are then.
Ye Qifeng is mine, I am his woman, all of you get out of my way!
Shui Bing'er sat quietly beside Huo Wu, her body surrounded by a pure and cool ice-attribute aura, which complemented Huo Wu's warm fire-attribute aura.
The light blue dress accentuated her exquisite and voluptuous figure, making her look like a stunningly beautiful young woman who seemed to live a life of solitude and isolation.
Shui Bing'er's beautiful icy blue eyes would sometimes glance at Huo Wu, and sometimes follow Huo Wu's gaze to look in the direction where Saint Ye Qifeng was.
She could feel Huo Wu's emotional turmoil, and her heart was also pounding with her emotions, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Shui Bing'er has been in Tiandou City for a month, but to this day, she has not seen Ye Qifeng even once.
Because of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu have a wonderful telepathic connection. Whenever the two are close to each other, their emotions inevitably flow together.
Huo Wu's thoughts and feelings naturally influenced Shui Bing'er as well. Shui Bing'er had long harbored unusual feelings for Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
However, Shui Bing'er is a very calm and composed girl. She is good at controlling herself, does not show her emotions, and is not easily swayed by her emotions.
No matter how much her heart fluttered, she would try her best to suppress it and not let her emotions be easily revealed.
However, the more it is suppressed, the more violent the rebound will be.
Perhaps it was influenced by Huo Wu, or perhaps she had already fallen for him but was unwilling to admit it or face it.
She was scared and shy.
So even though he knew that person was in Tiandou City after arriving there, and even though he knew that Huo Wu would go to see him from time to time, he didn't dare to, and was too embarrassed to, meet him.
But for some reason, Shui Bing'er suddenly felt that she could no longer suppress her true feelings.
At this moment, a certain desire within her was stronger than ever before, no less than that of Huo Wu.
When Huo Wu let out that soft hum through her nose, Shui Bing'er's emotions finally reached their peak. Then, she gave up, giving up on suppressing her feelings any longer.
I finally decided to face it head-on and confront it directly.
Huo Wu, who was muttering to herself, suddenly paused, seemingly noticing Shui Bing'er's unusual behavior. She subconsciously turned to look at Shui Bing'er and met her eyes.
As her dark red eyes met her icy blue eyes, Huo Wu seemed to see a shocking secret, and her beautiful red lips gradually parted.
On the other side, Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian were unaware of the emotional changes that had occurred between Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
The two were chatting and laughing, watching with great interest the public trial that was about to take place below.
…………
Over time.
The annual public trial and execution rally finally began.
There was no host or referee; this wasn't a competition, but rather a unique public trial held before the competition began.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Shi Nian was brought up, causing a commotion in the stands.
The two cardinals appointed by the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple were in charge of escorting Shi Nian. Both were at level 70 or above, true Soul Saint level experts, and their strength was even greater than that of Shi Nian, whom they were escorting.
Escorted by two cardinals, Shi Nian was led step by step to the public trial.
His hands were bound, his feet were shackled, and he was wearing a silver-white Soul Master robe with the rusted characters "Canghui" on it, which was the uniform of Canghui Academy.
The Soul Master world of Douluo Continent has developed for countless millennia, and naturally there are artifacts that can suppress the Soul Master's Soul Power.
This object has a specific name, "Soul Lock," and is made of hard material. Its seal is difficult to break, and it is usually used as a torture device and for detention.
The shackles and handcuffs on Shi Nian's body were one such example.
However, this kind of soul-locking artifact is extremely precious and very rare, as it is an ancient relic left over from the ancient Soul Guidance Empire.
Its production process has long been lost, and even the raw materials are hard to find, making it almost impossible to reproduce and restore.
Soul-locking devices are generally not used.
This technique is only used when it is necessary to control powerful individuals at the Soul Saint level or above, such as Shi Nian, to lock their soul power in order to prevent them from becoming desperate and suddenly attacking others.
Shi Nian was quickly escorted to the center of the public trial platform.
Facing the attention of the entire audience, his expression was minimal, except for a look of extreme dejection and gloom, as if he had already realized his fate and completely resigned himself to it.
He had no injuries and even had a rosy complexion.
His neat clothes and rosy complexion clearly indicated that the Spirit Hall had not tortured him.
Even the injuries he sustained from Sword Douluo a few days prior were healed by a healing-type Soul Master specially dispatched by the Spirit Hall.
This is the respect that the Spirit Hall should give to a Soul Saint-level expert.
"Professor Shi Nian! Vice Dean!"
When they saw Shi Nian step onto the public trial platform, the teachers and students of Canghui College in the audience immediately stood up and shouted, their words filled with respect.
No matter how unworthy Shi Nian may seem to outsiders, in the hearts of the teachers and students of Canghui Academy, he is their teacher, their vice dean, and an elder worthy of their respect and love.
Although Shi Nian was treacherous, ruthless, and bloodthirsty, he treated the students of Canghui Academy very well, and they respected and loved him very much.
The main problem was that Shi Nian was ruthless and vicious, and he usually only targeted outsiders. However, he never harmed the students of his own academy and was even extremely protective of his own.
Whenever Canghui's students are bullied, it is often Vice Dean Shi Nian who steps in to protect them.
It can be said that Shi Nian was basically doing all the dirty and tiring work at Canghui College.
Some people, you say they're not good people, and they really aren't good people, they're even rotten to the core.
But on the other hand, he was a good person.
Because he treated his own people very well and was loved and respected by them; at the very least, in their eyes, he was a good person.
And Shi Nian was precisely that kind of person.
They are treacherous and ruthless to outsiders, resorting to any means necessary, and will kill without hesitation. But they are extremely protective of their own people, and no one can afford to provoke them.
For example, a few days ago, he went alone to intercept Tang San, not only because Tang San had offended him, but also to avenge his students and for their future, hoping that they could go further in this Elite Soul Master Competition and bring glory to Canghui Academy.
However, the methods used were dishonorable and not tolerated by the world.
Now that he has been arrested, publicly tried, and executed by the Spirit Hall, he deserves it, and there's nothing more to say about it.
Even Shi Nian himself, facing today's public trial and execution, remained calm and composed, prepared to die.
The only regret is that they failed to kill that bastard Tang San, leaving a hidden danger for the students of Canghui Academy.
However, he could no longer protect them and could only hope that his students would prove themselves.
Hearing what sounded like someone calling his name, Shi Nian, whose heart was heavy with silence, instinctively looked up and glanced in that direction.
Seeing the teachers and students of Canghui Academy in the audience, hearing their shouts, and feeling the reverence in their voices, Shi Nian's withered and aged face finally showed a slight change.
However, he didn't say much, but just looked up at his students with a gratified smile and slowly shook his head.
Then, he shifted his gaze slightly and turned his head to look in the other direction.
In the audience, Shi Nian saw not only the teachers and students of Canghui Academy, but also the Shrek Seven Devils who were gloating.
The moment Shi Nian's gaze fell upon the Shrek Seven Devils, his eyes suddenly turned cold and eerie.
Especially when he looked at Tang San, he suddenly gave Tang San a strange smile.
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran through his body. In an instant, it felt as if he had returned to the Ghostly Sorrowful Ground atop Tang Sect Peak, where he was suffering the most severe punishments of the Tang Sect. The shadow in his heart suddenly expanded several times over.
Faced with Shi Nian's cold and chilling gaze, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The gloating on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by fear.
Except for Tang San, everyone else took several steps back in unison.
Even Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who exuded an aura of dominance, were startled and dared not meet his gaze.
Ning Fengzhi, sitting in the presiding judge's seat, noticed the unusual situation on the Shrek Seven Devils' side and immediately let out a muffled groan:
"Quiet!"
Although Ning Fengzhi was only a Soul Saint, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his aura was extraordinary.
With his level 79 soul power amplified, his voice was anything but gentle; instead, it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
The entire audience immediately fell silent.
The Canghui Academy members in the audience dared not shout anymore and obediently shut their mouths, but their eyes clearly revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
The Shrek Seven Devils breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Fengzhi's voice snapped them out of their fear caused by Shi Nian's gloomy gaze, clearly intended to help them out of their predicament.
…………
Not long after.
Under the auspices of Bishop Salas of Platinum, the public trial was held on time.
The Spirit Hall's Heaven Dou Holy Temple Enforcement Team quickly presented the results of their investigation after Shi Nian's capture, while the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also presented the evidence they had collected.
The joint investigation by the three parties yielded results and evidence, concluding that Shi Nian had committed a crime.
In particular, the Spirit Hall, using some unknown method, managed to pry open Shi Nian's mouth and obtain his confession.
Everything, from the details of the crime to the methods used, was recorded in detail, making it clear that he was now facing certain death.
The college where the victimized student attended also sent a representative to explain their demands, with the sole aim of severely punishing the perpetrator.
Tang San, the only one who survived the ambush by the time, also stepped forward to testify.
The trial proceeded smoothly.
Half an hour later, Salas stood up from his position as the presiding judge, looked down at Shi Nian who was bowing his head and listening to the pronouncement, and said in an icy tone:
"Back then, during the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, you relied on your Soul Saint level cultivation to harm and kill elite students from participating academies. Your crimes are clear, and the evidence is overwhelming. What else do you have to say?"
As Shi Nian slowly raised his head, his aged voice sounded unusually hoarse:
"I have nothing to say."
Salas stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes holding an inscrutable look:
"So, you're admitting your guilt?"
At that moment, his head was bowed deeply, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged several years.
"One must take responsibility for one's own actions; I confess my guilt."
Salas nodded, then delivered the final verdict:
"Very well, since you have confessed, then, according to the Spirit Hall's criminal law and the regulations of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, I hereby sentence you to death!"
"Would you rather kill yourself, or let me do it?"
Shi Nian pursed her lips, not answering immediately, but instead looked up and asked a seemingly random question:
"Bishop Salas, do you still stand by your promise to me?"
Salas seemed to have anticipated his question, his expression unchanged, he simply nodded firmly:
"Of course, the Spirit Hall always keeps its word."
