195 Lightning Inheritance 1 (1/2)

“These people are either useless or dumb. Thinking for the whole trial, I decided to kick them out. Disciple would be willing to take the punishment for ‘arrogance’”.

I confess… To this sin!

The hall was instantly so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

The expressions of Elders were all very colorful. The ‘victims’ Quan Chen, Sun Yuanhao, Bei Moi and Lu Hu had green faces and they were trembling with rage.

How was this ‘confessing’ to his sin? He was mocking them!

Zhao Feng’s words pierced at the weakest point in their heart. If they weren’t useless, how would they have been controlled by an Illusion Fox? If they weren’t dumb, how would they believe a cat?

This was the shame in their hearts. Zhao Feng didn’t even bother explaining it and he slapped their faces soundly instead. Even if Quan Chen and co. won the argument, the titles of ‘useless’, ‘dumb’, ‘dragging the group back’ will be stuck onto them.

The first to react was the Regulations Elder.

“Arrogant brat! You have not changed your wrongs, you’re selfish... you don’t put the laws in your eyes... you harm others for your benefit! You… ” The Regulations Elder suddenly stopped talking.

He suddenly realised that something was wrong.

“Disciple here is willing to take the punishment for arrogance, selfishness not putting the laws in my eyes, and harming others for my benefit.”

Zhao Feng’s azure hair waved in the air and a smile full of mockery appeared on his face.

Just as the Regulations Elder was about to say something else, First Elder intercepted: “Ok, the truth has come out and Zhao Feng has confessed to his wrongdoings.”

“But… ”

The Regulation Elder’s face was green.

“You’ve already said it yourself, Zhao Feng was arrogant and selfish, but he didn’t have intentions of harming the other disciples. Furthermore, his words were not without reason.” First Elder said.

Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master were both dazed and speechless. Zhao Feng himself had already confessed, what else could they do?

From head to toe, he only had the title of ‘selfish’ and ‘arrogant’. These weren’t even sins, they were one’s attitude.There were many people like this in the Clan. The only one that was problematic was harming others for his own benefit.

“How about we take four hundred thousand contribution points off Zhao Feng and give it to the four disciples for their losses?” First Elder suggested.

“That is a great idea, Four hundred thousand points is the salary of a Vice Head working one hundred years for the Clan - it’s more than enough to compensate these disciples.” The Clan Master nodded her head in agreement.

“Four hundred thousand points is indeed a lot. There’s also been previous examples of deducting contribution points in the past.” The originally neutral Granny Liuyue said.

“This… ” The Regulations Elder looked helplessly at Elder Xue and Elder Hai Yun.

The three of them could do nothing.

From the surface, it seemed that the Clan had already tried its best to punish Zhao Feng. Four hundred thousand points was a large amount of points. If one questioned this punishment, it was the same as questioning the Clan itself.

However, for Zhao Feng, he would still have one hundred thousand points left. When contribution points reached such an amount, it didn’t mean much anymore.

He had also received the privilege of entering the Hollow Building anytime he wanted. He already had the best inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace, the ‘Lightning Inheritance’, which contained much enlightenment inside.

He didn’t need money, skills or treasures.

Four hundred thousand points were nothing to Zhao Feng.

“Zhao Feng, do you have any problems?” The Clan Master asked.

“Disciple has no problems with this, but I think it would be better to give the points back to the Clan, instead of giving them to these dumb and useless disciples.” Zhao Feng suggested.

Hearing this, Quan Chen and co. started cursing as they faces turned red with embarrassment. Even if they managed to receive the contribution points today, they would never forget the shame and they might even develop a fear of today.

This was especially so for Bei Moi. He was a prodigy with great talent and luck and he had come second in the trial, which already gave him two hundred thousand points.

The crushing of his dignity was his critical weakness.

“Stop.” First Elder stared at Zhao Feng and he signalled for him to stop being so mischievous.

The latter was already the biggest winner. Not only did he not get punished, he had also shamed Bei Moi and co.

Zhao Feng smiled and returned to his Master’s side. The Elders then warned Zhao Feng repetitively and they announced the latter’s punishment to the public.

Finally… It was over.

The enmities in the trial were held down. Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co. had angered and shameful expressions when they walked out of the hall.

After the crowd faded away.

“Come with me.” First Elder said to Zhao Feng.
