You call this a healer?

The square became even quieter.

Many people expected that Zhou Ming should be terrified or apologize, after all, he had caused a huge disaster this time.

Even if a freshman is born a bad seed, what courage would he have to face all his elders and teachers?

But to my utter surprise, he gave that answer.

Before the clearly enraged State Council official could speak again, Zhou Ming spoke loudly and clearly:

"According to Article Thirteen of Document No. 7 of the Federation of Humanity: Any just and orderly person has the right to defend themselves when subjected to innocent persecution and threats to their life, and has the right to launch a devastating counterattack when they determine that the other party will inflict further harm!"

All around remained quiet and still.

Now, he actually has the nerve to talk about the law?

The State Council official's voice was grim: "So, were you harmed? I clearly saw other students suffer devastating harm from you!"

Zhou Ming stared directly at the man: "You should have seen that as soon as I entered Black Wind Mountain, I was attacked innocently by Song Xiejun, Liu Zhiruo, and Xuan Ce!"

An official from the State Council said, "Okay, even if what you're saying is true, what about the others? Did others attack you too?"

Zhou Ming said, "Su Bufan instructed a large number of students from the Extraordinary Academy to block my classmates who wanted to help me, allowing Song Xiejun and the other two to attack me ruthlessly. Clearly, they were in cahoots."

Moreover, students from all the other top ten universities didn't leave. Instead of seeking resources for such an important conference, they were all staring at me with fierce eyes. What were they planning to do? It was obvious.

At that moment, I was terrified and panicked. My mind went blank. I felt like they were all going to hurt me. I didn't know what to do. In my panic, I could only pull out my scalpel for self-defense!

State Council official: "?"

Dean Bai: "?"

The students from the top ten universities standing and lying around Zhou Ming stared in shock. Could a person really be so evasive?

The State Council official, barely suppressing the urge to erupt in anger, said, "Fine, let's assume that your state of mind at the time was your true feeling. But what happened afterward? They left and stopped hurting you..."

"Who can say for sure?"

Zhou Ming's expression was serious. "How do you know they're not preparing for the next attack on me?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "On the first night, as you all probably saw, more than three hundred people ganged up on me and attacked me. Their behavior was outrageous. At that moment, I was completely plunged into despair!"

They really haven't given up on harming me! They want to kill me; they will never let me go!

I don't know what I did wrong. I had no other choice but to fight back!

Silence remained in the square; he had become the victim!

Dean Bai's voice was hoarse: "Do you think this childish manipulation of concepts, forcibly establishing a victim persona, is useful?"

Zhou Ming looked at him: "Then please tell me, sir, what is the reason I, a mentally sound therapist, would do this?"

"Well……"

Dean Bai didn't know how to answer.

The State Council official coldly replied, "Whether it's true or not, your opinion doesn't count; we need to hear what the other students have to say!"

Ling Shuang immediately said, "The moment I entered Black Wind Mountain, I clearly felt the terrifying atmosphere. Everyone is hostile towards Zhou Mingyue because of whether he cheated in the top three of the exam. Song Xiejun and the other two have made a move; I can't guarantee whether the others will follow suit!"

Ye Chen immediately added, "That's right. At that moment, I felt that at least several hundred people, including Su Bufan, also wanted to attack Zhou Ming!"

Lin Ya said, "At that time, Zhou Ming's situation was indeed very desperate!"

Ma Kun, channeling his dramatic flair, reddened his eyes and said, "Zhou Ming is an upright and kind-hearted person who always takes special care of us. Back at Black Wind Mountain, he was truly driven to the brink, he had no other choice!"

Influenced by Ma Kun, Zhong Xiu, Liang Bucheng, Bai Muwan, and Ma Liang, all of whom were practically movie stars, were just short of crying out, "Please, teachers and leaders of the State Council, do justice for Zhou Ming!"

The scene seemed to freeze!

Countless faces that were already angry became even angrier, but they didn't know how to effectively refute it. Everyone possessed extraordinary power, and they would rather take action than waste words. They rarely encountered such nonsense!

The students from the top ten universities, standing and lying around, looked at Zhou Ming and his group with extremely complicated expressions.

Zhou Ming glanced at all the students from the top ten universities who were "lying down," saying nothing, yet it seemed like he had said everything!

Jin Wuzhu was the first to show remorse: "I'm sorry, at that moment, I did indeed have malicious intentions towards Zhou Ming!"

Gou Hanyi took a deep breath: "That's right, I think he insulted the top three spots in the monthly exam, I even wanted to kill him!"

Feng Qi, standing not far away, was shocked. He struggled to look away from the two men, seemingly having made a decision: "I confess, I conspired with 496 others to kill Zhou Ming at Black Wind Mountain!"

A girl struggled to move her body: "Me too! I'm jealous of Zhou Ming, and I, along with hundreds of others, secretly plotted to kill him!"

"That's utter nonsense!"

"Don't be fooled by Zhou Ming!"

The massive crowd at Black Wind Mountain Square finally erupted into a powerful outburst of condemnation and protest.

Dean Bai and that State Council official also had extremely gloomy expressions.

"They're talking nonsense!"

Su Bufan squeezed his way out of the crowd, his face contorted in pain. He felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't understand why, in just a few words, things had turned in Zhou Ming's favor.

Even if he lived three lifetimes, he couldn't pull off such a stunt. He arched his back, roaring with heart-wrenching fury, "He's clearly gone mad! He wants to use everyone as a test subject! He's a devil!"

Not far away, watching his son, who had vanished from the Order of the World and was now a girl, Deputy Director Liu Mingquan's eyes turned bloodshot. Suddenly, his figure flashed, enveloped in a shower of golden light.

With a single step, he closed in on Zhou Ming, his hand reaching out to grab him. Three terrifying auras appeared out of thin air, enveloping all of Zhou Ming's escape routes: "You bastard, spouting nonsense, die!"

"Buzzing..."

Those three auras quickly transformed into three hazy divine generals, each five meters tall and clad in golden helmets and armor, wielding bronze hammers, halberds, and longswords, as if a divine punishment tearing everything apart.

In an instant, even the surrounding air distorted.

Zhou Ming felt an intense, almost tangible killing intent; even if he used all his skills, he couldn't escape.

"Liu Mingquan, Level 6 Order Keeper, Military Advisor!"

He murmured something, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

I bet you can't kill me!

as predicted,

"stop!"

"Until my son recovers, I'll fight anyone who dares to harm him!"

"Deputy Director Liu, at this time, I urge you to think twice!"

The air, whether hot or cold, enveloped Zhou Ming in layers.

The killing intent emanating from Liu Mingquan vanished instantly!
