Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 72 The crescent moon shines over the land, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

"Congratulations to Qin Feng, the strategist known as 'Half a Move Against Heaven,' for defeating Zilu, the 'Sage,' and becoming the number one player on the 18th Amazing Ranking!"

"Congratulations to the player Qin Feng, the strategist known as 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven'..."

"Congratulations to the player Qin Feng, the strategist known as 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven'..."

Three consecutive announcements resounded throughout the venue, and countless fireworks soared into the sky, their magnificent light illuminating the ancient and great city of Xianyang. For a moment, heaven and earth were bathed in glory. ✋👌 ➅➈รĤᑌ𝓧.¢ᗝм 🐟🎉

In the arena, the white halo gradually dissipated, and a young man in a unique, ancient, golden armor appeared before the world. Every inch of his armor reflected the brilliance that only stars could possess when they perished!

His entire body was covered in dazzling golden armor, which was neither as bulky and bloated as Chinese armor, but also visually striking, giving people a unique metallic softness. Combined with his perfect body, he could simply stand there and snap his fingers, and his whole body would radiate a starlight halo that only stars would explode.

Offstage, [Sword Immortal] stared wide-eyed, muttering, "I thought he was just slightly stronger than me, but I never expected that he would surpass me so far in terms of posing and fashion sense! Unacceptable! This strangely shaped golden armor looks so damn futuristic, so damn cool! Completely golden, it's incredibly stylish! He will be my lifelong nemesis on my path to showing off!"

【God of War】Meng Yi crossed his arms and smiled meaningfully, “Gold, this metal, is only produced by supernova explosions and collisions of neutron stars and above. People like gold because of their deep-seated yearning for the vastness of the universe. But I never thought that someone would perfectly drape the brilliance of the universe over themselves! I have to admit, on the road of showing off, you've gone further than any of us!”

[The Demon Lord] Nie Qing's eyes were restrained. Suffering from a communication disorder, he finally managed to utter a sentence after a long pause: "If my father and his father hadn't been old friends, he would have killed me without hesitation in the park last time!"

The powerful figures on the Astounding Ranking, including the Desolate God, the Four Dao Lords, the Three Immortals, and the Five Absolutes, all looked up at the only one on the stage, offering their applause and blessings.

Inside the VIP room, Princess Huayang was live-streaming Qin Feng in his Leo Gold Cloth form on her phone, causing the entire group of girlfriends from the Seven Kingdoms to scream wildly.

[Princess of Qi]: That's amazing! That's so cool! How could such a chivalrous hero appear in Qin? It doesn't make sense!

[Princess of Chu]: This man is too perfect! Huayang, introduce him to me, and I'll send you a set of Chu's top-grade rouge and face powder later, okay?

[Princess of Wei]: What are you thinking! Hua Yang will definitely keep a brother like that to herself! She won't even give us her contact information!

The Korean princess left the group chat and left a message for the Qin princess, Huayang: "You are not worthy!"

[Princess of Qin]: Don't go! We're all best friends, the most united group of girlfriends!

At this moment, on the stage, Qin Feng circled the boxing ring three times, receiving a thunderous welcome, while also noticing some interesting phenomena.

The cheering crowd was almost entirely from the third row and beyond. On the contrary, the old Qin royals in the first row and the new Qin nobles in the second row did not scream or shout. They only applauded calmly, showing great aristocratic politeness.

What are they thinking?

Of course they're wondering if you, Qin Feng, will persecute them!

No one had more experience of being persecuted by the strategists than the Qin royal family, and no one understood better than the powerful and wealthy of Qin what it meant for the strategists to enter Qin!

At best, it means that from now on, there will be no year-end bonuses, no performance bonuses, no annual leave, no annual salary increase system, the punishment for corruption and illegal activities will be increased by 1000%, the work efficiency of the Court of Justice will be increased by 10000%, and there will be no holidays all year round. The king and his ministers will enter a stage of hard work and arduous entrepreneurship, where they will have to endure hardship, and if there is no hardship, they will have to create hardship!

At worst, it means that from now on, the strategists might come up with some bizarre attendance and assessment regulations, subjecting all ministers to various inhumane control and provocations, including sending the Court of Justice to your house to investigate what you ate today, whether you slept at the Red Chamber or at home, whether you stayed out all night to find a mistress or to visit spies from the six kingdoms, how many female dogs your guard dog met today, and so on—there are no limits to their shameless behavior!

At such a time, under such psychological pressure, the fact that the old Qin royal family and the new Qin nobles did not leave halfway through the event, but were able to applaud with smiles on their faces, already demonstrates their enthusiasm and strong mental fortitude, truly deserving of the word "dignity".

On the stage, in the referee's seat, General Wang Jian had already arrived at the main stage.

As the vice leader of the Great Qin Martial Arts Alliance, General Wang Jian received even more applause when he stepped onto the stage.

Qin Feng bowed respectfully to the old general, saying, "Qin Feng greets the Great General!"

Wang Jian, a tall figure, nearly 2.3 meters high, dressed in a simple general's uniform, smiled broadly. "Congratulations on winning first place in this spectacular competition!"

Qin Feng said, "Just lucky!"

Wang Jian continued, "Since the time of the supercontinent, our Great Qin has maintained an excellent relationship with the School of Diplomacy. Generations of disciples of the School of Diplomacy have come to our Great Qin to realize their ambitions. Now, in this era of great contention, the School of Diplomacy and the Ghost Valley have gained a new genius who excels in science, literature, and martial arts—a true prodigy! Your future is limitless! On behalf of Great Qin and the King, I hereby bestow upon you the highest honor of our Great Qin warriors—the Great Qin Elite Warrior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came out from behind carrying trays. The trays were placed in front of him, and there were rows of honors, armor, weapons, military robes, helmets and medals!

Wang Jian raised his hand and picked up the Great Qin Elite Medal. It was a black bird emblem pinned to his heart. It was no bigger than the palm of his hand, but it was made in a simple and elegant style. At first glance, it looked like a deformed "Qin" character!

The title of "Qin Elite Warrior" is one of the highest honors in the Qin army, and is also known as the most difficult to achieve.

However, there is another demanding condition that makes Qin elite soldiers the most difficult to acquire: they must achieve extraordinary accomplishments during the Wu Zu stage!

Many generals achieved extraordinary success later on, but they were not Qin Ruishi. The title "Shi" in Qin Ruishi required that they be extraordinary and invincible from the soldier stage, which is a mark of a true strongman who is invincible from the very beginning.

For example, Wang Jian never received a Qin elite soldier, while Bai Qi was!

Therefore, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, not the old general Wang Jian.

Wang Jian, his old eyes gleaming with envy, looked at the Great Qin Elite Medal on Qin Feng's chest. He then patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, "Kid, you're really good! After completing your studies in the School of Diplomacy, you could consider joining the Space Force. I believe the military is definitely a good fit for you!"

Faced with such a straightforward job offer, Qin Feng was filled with excitement. "Thank you for your praise, General. Given time, after completing my studies, if the opportunity arises, I, Qin Feng, will definitely join the Space Force!"

"Alright!" Wang Jian said with a smile, "The subsequent rewards will be awarded after we drink together. Do you have any questions?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment, "What about the 'Amazing Swan' reward?"

Wang Jian laughed and said, "The Jinghong Competition is ultimately a grand event for the Yin Yang School. The Yin Yang School will send people to deliver rewards to you. However, the Yin Yang School is mysterious in its comings and goings. Be careful, they may appear at any time and then disappear at any time."

Qin Feng bowed, "No problem, thank you, General!"

Wang Jian seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, someone's waiting for you in the lounge! Remember to keep your appointment!"

Who's waiting for me?

Qin Feng wanted to ask, but Wang Jian had already left with his guards. ✊🍟 ❻❾𝓼ⒽỮ𝔁.c𝕠𝕄 ✌♧

"Young Master Qin Feng, may we stay a little longer?"

"Young Master Qin Feng, we're from Xianyang News. Could you strike a pose?"

"..."

Facing enthusiastic media reporters, Qin Feng struck countless poses for the cameras before finally leaving the arena and returning to the locker room amidst deafening cheers.

Qin Feng was very excited. "I've struck such a pose! My parents and teachers will definitely see this! Maybe even my teacher Guiguzi will see it!"

Look how successful I am!

In such a short time, it has brought such great reputation to Guigu and Longcheng!

The parents in front of the holographic screen must be incredibly excited to have such an outstanding son!

Back in the lounge, Qin Feng noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off; dozens of senior officials from the Court of Justice were guarding the door.

Looking in front of him, a young man dressed in a black robe with a black bird pattern was standing with his back to him. He had a long sword with a black bird pattern at his waist and exuded an indescribable air of nobility.

Qin Feng recognized him at a glance: it was Prince Fusu!

Prince Fusu turned around, a smile spreading across his polite face. "Congratulations, young hero Qin Feng, on winning first place on the Astounding Ranking and becoming a valiant warrior of Qin!"

Qin Feng clasped his hands in a respectful bow, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Fusu!"

Fusu raised his hand, and the senior judges from the Court of Justice on both sides left with knowing glances.

In the large lounge, only Qin Feng and Fu Su remained.

Qin Feng looked at Fusu, who was so close to him, and felt uneasy. Could it be that Brother Zheng thought I was outstanding and sent Prince Fusu here to specially recruit me into the palace?

Good heavens, this happiness came too fast!

I wasn't even prepared to be Brother Zheng's strategist, and he asked me to go. It's like my destiny has been blessed!

I'm so lucky.

However, Fusu's next words shattered Qin Feng's illusions.

"I have something to tell you: your teacher, Zhang Beihai, has resisted arrest and fled!"

Qin Feng was stunned. He looked at Fu Su and exclaimed, "How could my teacher, Zhang Beihai, be arrested? He's an official in the Court of Judicial Review! How could he have committed a crime?!"

Fusu looked at Qin Feng and said, "He's a very shrewd guy. He understands the principle of 'the darkest place is under the lamp.' The best way to prevent anyone from finding any evidence against him is to directly join the group that's arresting him!"

"For so many years, Zhang Beihai has been hiding within the ranks of law enforcement, and he's always been very good at hiding!"

"But no matter how well you hide it, the truth will eventually come out!"

Qin Feng asked, "What crime did he commit?"

Fusu said, "He killed his comrades on the battlefield and destroyed his own spaceship! The evidence is conclusive, which is why he fled to avoid punishment!"

Qin Feng was stunned. Was that really true? Judging from his appearance, Fusu didn't seem like the type to lie.

What should I do?

Qin Feng quickly replied, "What does this have to do with me? I'm not even a relative of my teacher, not even among the nine generations of relatives!"

Fusu nodded. "Yes, it has nothing to do with you, but according to Article 35 of Chapter 7, Column 6 of the newly revised Qin Criminal Law, 'Regulations on the Management of Criminals' Families,' anyone from any of the ten clans should be arrested and interrogated!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes widened. "Exterminate ten generations of a family! Is there such a rule? I don't recall the Court of Justice having such a rule! I'm well-versed in the criminal law of the Qin Dynasty! Don't lie to me!"

Fusu smiled kindly, "Yes, two days ago, under my supervision, a new law was just passed! According to the new regulations on punishing ten generations of relatives, as Zhang Beihai's student, you bear certain criminal responsibility. Therefore, you will have to stay in jail for a while until your teacher Zhang Beihai arrests you and brings you to justice, at which point you will be free."

Qin Feng's head exploded with a bang!

Fang Xiaoru wasn't even born yet, how could there be a situation where ten generations of a family were implicated!

It was obvious that he was being targeted by Fusu!

The Qin Dynasty's criminal law hasn't been changed for so many years, and you suddenly urge the Qin Dynasty to amend the criminal law and change the nine-generation clan to ten-generation clan!

You're totally targeting me!

Qin Feng looked at Fusu, his voice calm, "Your Highness, have I, Qin Feng, ever offended you?"

Fu Su said calmly, "No, we hadn't even met before!"

Qin Feng said, "Since we've never even met, why are you targeting me!"

Fusu asked, "Is that so?"

Qin Feng said, "Changing the criminal law overnight, turning nine clans into ten clans—if this isn't considered targeting, then there's no such thing as targeting in the world!"

Seeing he couldn't keep up the act any longer, Fusu simply spread his hands and said, "I'm targeting you, so what can you do about it!"

Qin Feng laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Young Master Fusu, some things and some people are not bound by law, but only by fate! For example, me. If you want to target me, you must first be able to suppress my fate, otherwise, kind-hearted people will soon find various reasons to bail me out!"

Fusu looked calmly at the young man in the golden armor before him. "You mean, totems suppress destiny?"

Qin Feng nodded, "That's right! I have a totem to suppress my fate; you can't do anything to me!"

Fusu smiled modestly, picked up his Xuan Bird longsword with his right hand, and held it horizontally in front of him. "I forgot to tell you, I also have a totem. The Xuan Bird on this sword is my totem!"

Qin Feng stared intently at the black bird pattern on the sword sheath. At this moment, the black bird came to life, flapped its wings, and actually left the sword sheath, turning into a black shadow, spreading its wings, and floating on Fusu's shoulder.

Qin Feng said, "Such a small black bird can't possibly have a very strong effect on luck!"

Fusu said, "It's not strong, but it's still much stronger than the egg in your arms!"

"And I can also tell you a secret as a favor: there's a food chain relationship between totems!"

"The divine dragon in your arms is a very powerful life form, capable of suppressing almost all beasts and things! However, the divine dragon is by no means truly invincible; every totem in this world has its nemesis! The greatest nemesis of the divine dragon is the Sky-Devouring Sparrow!"

"My totem, the Black Bird, is also known as the Black Sparrow. It belongs to a bloodline left behind by the Devouring Sky Sparrow. Therefore, the current situation is that your totem is exactly countered by mine!"

"Furthermore, my totem has already hatched, while yours is still an egg. Under the totem's suppression effect, your protective aura is completely ineffective!"

Undeterred, Qin Feng took out the Golden Scale Egg, only to discover that there was no heartbeat or fluctuation inside.

Fu Su explained slowly and methodically, "Totems will play dead when they encounter their natural enemies. Don't worry, it's just afraid of the Black Sparrow, that's why it's like this. It will be fine once it leaves."

Qin Feng looked at Fu Su's smug face with cold eyes, "Your totem is powerful, but I have something else that you can't kill me with!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng suddenly pulled out the bright red marriage certificate from his arms. "The marriage certificate is here. What does Young Master Fusu think?"

Fusu paused for a moment, then laughed. "So the first marriage certificate was in your hands! No wonder we couldn't find it after searching the entire Ouyang family!"

Qin Feng said, "I don't know any Ouyang Laocai. I just want to say that with this marriage certificate in hand, there are only eight people in the world who can kill me! You are not among them!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Fusu raised his hand and flicked it, producing an identical marriage certificate. "I'm sorry, I'm the sixth marriage certificate holder! Young Master Qin Feng, the holder of the first marriage certificate, I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

Qin Feng stared at the identical sixth marriage certificate in Fu Su's hand, then staggered back several steps. "No, how could this be! You, you're my nemesis!"

Fusu seemed to particularly enjoy seeing Qin Feng's disheveled appearance, and leisurely said, "With your totem suppressed and your marriage contract restrained, young hero Qin Feng, what other trump cards do you have left? Why don't you bring them all out! Let's see who has greater fortune!"

Seeing Fusu's smugness, Qin Feng wished he could spoil the future for Fusu: "You will be killed in the future, your younger brother Huhai will become emperor, you idiot and useless eldest son!"

However, even though Fusu repeatedly broke his defenses, Qin Feng ultimately suppressed his anger and didn't utter those words. Instead, he stuffed the marriage certificate and the golden-scaled egg back into his arms, muttering to himself, "Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. I, Qin Feng, am ashamed of my own methods, young master. But I have practiced martial arts since childhood and believe in one thing: the strong do not complain about their circumstances. Even if you throw me into prison, it will not change my upright character!"

Fusu laughed, "I admire Brother Qin's tough-guy act of pretending to be a hero even after breaking his teeth! Men, take Young Hero Qin Feng to where he belongs!"

A high-ranking official appeared and skillfully put blood energy shackles on Qin Feng. After the shackles were put on, his blood energy could not be activated, and he was no different from an ordinary person.

As he stepped out of the tent, Qin Feng looked at Fusu and said mockingly, "Your Highness Fusu, that bird you're feeding isn't very good! Come to the prison sometime, and I'll teach you how to raise a totem!"

"Let's go!"

Fearing that Qin Feng would further anger Fusu, the court officials dragged Qin Feng away, pushing and pulling him along.

In the spacious lounge, Fusu gasped, holding the black bird in one hand and the marriage certificate in the other, muttering to himself, "How come this kid has a marriage certificate on him! Luckily, I have one too! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to control him!"

"Double the suppression of fate! Only then could this kid surrender!"

"But how did the first marriage certificate from the Ouyang family end up in his hands?"

"Before he died, Old Man Ouyang said that this marriage certificate was given to the benefactor who avenged his son. Could it be that Qin Feng helped him avenge his son's death?!"

"So, it was Qin Feng who killed the Miscellaneous Master of the World!"

"OMG!"

"Your parents are always causing trouble, and you're not one to stay quiet either! You even killed this humble traveler! If this 'traveling monk' finds out, he'll skin you alive!"

"Damn it, I've already covered up enough serious crimes for him, and now there's another one. At this rate, I'm practically becoming your accomplice!"

"But was his last sentence about teaching me how to raise birds true or false? Does it mean he's really skilled at raising totem birds?"

"It should be true. The totem egg was not even broken and it could resonate with him, which shows that he is indeed very good at taming totems. My black bird beats me up every day, so I have to find time to go to the Heavenly Prison and have a chat with him."

"However, the important thing now is to appease the royal family! If I summon Qin Feng directly now, the royal family will probably think that my father is going to give Qin Feng an important position, and they will be very worried. I can't let them worry. I need to let them know immediately how desperately I went to kill Qin Feng, even changing the penal code to implicate ten clans and send him to jail. Only when the royal uncles know these things will they feel at ease. Moreover, this matter cannot be related to my father. My father is upright and righteous. He has not made any statements regarding Qin Feng or the royal family. I will take the blame for everything. I did everything..."
