High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

Turning his head, he saw a red-haired young man of similar age.

His gaze was filled with hatred and twisted like a snake.

"Is that Fang Cheng's younger brother?"

Lin Shuxuan asked Yu Xin, "This look in your eyes, as if you've killed his whole family, can only come from someone with deep-seated hatred."

"No, his name is Wang Xing. He's a participant in the martial arts competition, and he's ranked seventh overall. If you win, he'll most likely be eliminated."

Yu Xin glanced at it and explained, then chuckled.

"He'd rather you killed his whole family."

Lin Shuxuan looked at Wang Xing, whose posture was as straight as a pine tree and whose aura was imposing; after looking at him for a while, he even felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

He was like a bursting wildfire, only restrained by the limited space.

Fight him? Me? ... Lin Shuxuan wouldn't become arrogant and conceited just because he defeated Qin Feng in the competition. His life energy level was over 5, which was already inhuman in his previous life.

If Wang Xing is capable of achieving seventh place, his life energy level might be above level 20.

He could probably end the match with just one punch.

"Director Guan said he guaranteed my victory, but what method did he use? I don't think I can beat Wang Xing."

Lin Shuxuan glanced at the murderous red-haired man and asked.

You'll find out then.

Yu Xin did not answer.

"Damn riddle teller..." Lin Shuxuan thought to himself.

Arriving at the defendant's dock, located at the lowest point of the courthouse, every move is clearly visible to the judge and the audience.

Wearing shackles, he truly looked like a caged beast in a gladiatorial arena.

On the plaintiff's side, a boy of similar age hung his head; his lawyer beside him was eager to pounce.

This must be Fang Cheng's younger brother.

However, the main character today is the prosecutor; the plaintiff is only appearing in court to testify.

Lin Shuxuan was still interested in observing the trial because of Yun Yang's assurances and the prophet's testimony, which could prove his innocence.

It's just a formality.

He wasn't particularly concerned about the mastermind behind the lawsuit.

Since it was an open conspiracy targeting the Baiqi Group, he was just an innocent ant caught in the crossfire.

The solemn-looking presiding judge, seated high in his chair, spoke in a deep voice as the clock struck twelve:

"Court is in session!"

As the prosecutor read the indictment, Lin Shuxuan's charges were listed one by one.

"Lin Shuxuan colluded with Bai Shasha to help her achieve her murder goal; he is equally guilty!"

The mastermind behind it all might be in the prosecutor's seat... He listened to the indictment and scrutinized the nine people in the seat.

One of the men has red hair, clearly indicating a blood relationship with Wang Xing, whose spot was taken from him; if he is found guilty in this trial, he will likely be the biggest beneficiary.

A woman in the center, with a strikingly beautiful and stern appearance, wearing a black suit and red-soled high heels, had a sharp voice and was the one reading the indictment.

The remaining seven people had different postures, and Lin Shuxuan couldn't tell them apart at first; but what they had in common was their aura, which clearly indicated that they were all people who had long held high positions.

If Yu Xin were here... she could explain the names of the factions in Xinhai City.

While they were considering their options, the prosecutor presented the evidence.

The case file contained screenshots of urban legend posts and a stack of photos.

"Lin Shuxuan's post about strange tales caused panic and assisted Bai Shasha's actions."

"The method of murder was almost exactly the same as described in the post."

"Lin Shuxuan and Bai Shasha have a close relationship."

"With these three factors combined, Lin Shuxuan is extremely dangerous and suspicious."

Lin Shuxuan had been listening casually until he saw the stack of photos.

The photos are taken from different angles, but most of them are everyday photos of him and Bai Shasha, covering everything from going to school together to shopping together, and even a photo of them together at the "New Pearl of the Sea".

The young boy and girl nestled together as the sun set, their intimacy evident.

How could this be... Where did these photos come from? Lin Shuxuan was incredulous.

If ordinary photos could be taken by Bai Shasha's driver or entourage, then who took the photo on the tower? Was there a third person present that evening?

Why didn't he notice?

Furthermore, why are these photos in the hands of the prosecutor?

If the interests of the Baiqi Group are aligned with his, then this evidence should not have been preserved.

The prosecutor was indeed skillful, cleverly taking things out of context, making it easy for onlookers to believe that he was Bai Shasha's boyfriend.

Given their close relationship, it's not entirely illogical for them to commit a crime together.

Unfortunately, the photos of Bai Shasha pouring her heart out could not be saved. Yu Xin explained that the scene was just an illusion, and conventional methods could not preserve the image.

The audience erupted in uproar.

Bai Shasha has been convicted of heinous crimes, and her status as the heiress of the Baiqi Group has sparked considerable discussion in high society.

She never expected that the boy in front of her had this kind of relationship with her.

For a moment, the gazes directed at Lin Shuxuan contained not only disgust and loathing, but also a hint of admiration.

To win the heart of a ruthless and noble woman like Bai Shasha, one must possess some extraordinary qualities.

"Silence! Silence!"

The judge tapped his gavel, silencing the heated discussion.

"Defendant, you may defend yourself."

Lin Shuxuan thought for a moment and said:

"I want to know the source and authenticity of the photos!"

"The photos are from the Baiqi Group. The presiding judge can summon them at any time."

From Baiqi... Judging from this, the Baiqi Group has distanced itself from the situation.

Therefore, the purpose of the person behind the scenes in pushing this trial has nothing to do with the Baiqi Group; it's aimed at him.

Lin Shuxuan pondered for a while and then had a slight idea.

He used the power of the Public Security Bureau to enter the New Sea Martial Arts Tournament, and Guan Yunyang even wanted to make him the winner.

This may have affected the interests of a certain family.

So the mastermind behind it all is the Wang family, to which Wang Xing belongs?

Lin Shuxuan glanced at the red-haired middle-aged man among the prosecutors.

But there's still a question: who took the photos on the New Pearl Tower? The platform there is so open that a third person shouldn't be able to hide there.

"Does the defendant wish to continue questioning?"

The judge's words interrupted his thoughts.

To be honest, without Shang Keyan's guarantee, he would not have been able to prove his innocence.

It is a fact that he has a close relationship with Bai Shasha, it is a fact that his posts are similar to his modus operandi, and it is also a fact that he would not hesitate to spread rumors to promote his posts.

This is truly a case of "no matter how hard you try, you can't clear your name."

However, similarly, this evidence is not direct enough to convict someone, leaving a lot of room for maneuver. Coupled with the time required for appeals, the process becomes very lengthy.

Lin Shuxuan concluded his questioning, as the other party was unlikely to answer the more detailed questions in court.

"The court will now adjourn for deliberation."

"Please wait a moment."

Lin Shuxuan interrupted the presiding judge.

"I request that a prophet judge my sins."

The audience erupted in uproar, and even the prosecutors in the prosecution booth displayed various expressions.

They have their own perspective and understand the role of prophets in court.

However, the cost of engaging a prophet is not low, and not everyone can accept the prospect of seeing the future.

For many people, being exposed is far less satisfying than dying.

The courthouse doors were wide open, and a woman whose face was obscured slowly walked into the courtroom.

It was Shang Keyan.

She greeted the presiding judge and the prosecutor's bench, and only walked up to Lin Shuxuan after the presiding judge nodded.

My hand rested on his face, just like yesterday, as if a gentle breeze had cleared the murky lake water, revealing the stubborn rocks beneath.

The presiding judge began by reminding the judge:

"If the seer is appointed by the defendant, there is an extra step involved, Mr. Shang, please remember that."

Shang Keyan nodded. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough to reach everyone in the courtroom.

"Shang Keyan, I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Shang family, what I say is true."

As soon as the words were spoken, it seemed as if a contract had been formed in the darkness.

"Lin Shuxuan is innocent in the series of ghost story cases!"

......

After the court hearing, Lin Shuxuan rode on the back of Yu Xin's motorcycle back to the police station.

The surrounding police convoys had already gone off to carry out their respective missions; he was no longer a prisoner and did not need to be escorted.

His posts were filled with songs and dances, and his fans were present at the court hearing. After the verdict was announced, they posted the news of his innocence on their posts.

However, netizens weren't very discerning and didn't understand the weight of the "prophet"; some left comments criticizing the officials for protecting each other.

But his filial son quickly refuted this, saying that if you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense.

Lin Shuxuan showed little interest in these online arguments. After ordering several netizens who had attacked his sister Chen Yi to apologize, he closed his phone.

The tense court hearing ended almost immediately after Shang Keyan was declared not guilty, without any delay.

Compared to the seriousness before the trial, the ending felt somewhat anticlimactic.

"Does the testimony of a prophet really carry that much weight?"

Yu Xin's tone was flat:

"The Federation has many powerful individuals with diverse methods, so there are many ways to determine whether someone is lying."

"But convincing everyone is more difficult."

"Descendants of the Shang family can swear oaths to their ancestors, and lying will be punished, so their testimonies are sufficient to adjudicate the case."

"It's just that many people are unwilling to do this, and it's not easy to find a trustworthy prophet."

"You're lucky this time."

There were indeed too many preconditions... Lin Shuxuan could only sigh at the coincidence; with Yu Xin vouching for Guan Yunyang, he trusted the prophet.

Although the matter was over, he still had unresolved questions in his mind.

Who took the photos of him and Bai Shasha at the Xinhai Pearl observation deck?

The fact that the other party was able to leave behind photos without him noticing suggests that their martial arts cultivation is not low; perhaps a powerful figure from the Baiqi Group?

That's impossible... It's one thing if it's another place, but Xinhai Pearl is heavily guarded. Bai Shasha was able to get through without any problems because of the gold card she had.

Unless that powerful individual's cultivation level is ridiculously high.

Having no clue what to do, Lin Shuxuan simply gave up trying.

His hand, which was resting on the hood, quietly slid down towards Yu Xin's slender waist.

"The car was going a bit too fast, I couldn't hold on tight."

But Yu Xin slapped his hand away.

Lin Shuxuan was a little surprised... He had spent some time with Yu Xin, and as long as her little actions weren't too outrageous, the beautiful mature woman would pretend not to see them.

Why such a strong reaction now?

"What's wrong, Sister Yu Xin? Which bitch made you angry?"

Yu Xin chuckled and said without turning her head:

"You said you were just friends, and I actually believed you. Looking at the photos, it's like you're practically sleeping in the same bed."

So he was jealous... Lin Shuxuan thought for a moment and then offered a weak explanation:

"I have a people-pleasing personality, and I didn't know how to refuse at the time."

Yu Xin still sneered:

"I saw in that rooftop photo that you were still on the phone, and the person you were talking to looked like... me?"

Lin Shuxuan seemed to hear a sharp grinding sound.

He stopped talking.

"In the Dragon Fist sparring session later, if I don't beat you to death today... or teach you a lesson, I'm not a Yu."

......

Time flies, and it's Sunday again.

Lin Shuxuan went to the rest area on one side of the Public Security Bureau lobby and ordered a glass of iced soda.

The team competition of the Shinkai Martial Arts Tournament will be held next Monday.

After taking medicine and food to nourish himself during this period, his life energy level has reached level 3.

Their overall physical fitness has reached the level of top athletes from the previous generation.

The "Open" restriction limits the increase in martial arts cultivation, but physical fitness can still be improved through diet and training.

However, compared to the feedback brought by the improvement of skills, this method is too slow and inefficient.

Lin Shuxuan estimated that without improving martial arts cultivation, level 3 is already the limit for humans. Unless they give up their human form, it is impossible to make any further progress.

Moreover, with the help of the gloves left behind by Qin Feng, Long Quan's progress was also incredibly rapid. That piece of equipment could greatly assist his movements during training.

If the punching posture and force are insufficient, he will be unable to swing both fists.

The improvement in his physique and the enhancement in his skills gave him a sudden illusion that he was extremely powerful.

Fortunately, the illusion quickly dissipated when I thought about the average level of the contestants.

"The team competition is tomorrow."

Yu Xin sat down opposite him, her long, brown waves flowing freely. Her fair face, though without makeup, was still exquisitely beautiful, but her expression carried a calmness as if she were facing certain death.

"Sister Yu Xin, your tone is a bit strange. It's not like you're the one going on stage."

Although he made Bai Shasha feel humiliated as if she were being NTR'd when he called her while cuddling her, Lin Shuxuan promised to write a few more urban legends after the competition, which successfully appeased her.

"You don't understand, even that bitch Gong Shuang comes to watch the game."

Lin Shuxuan recalled for a moment, and the image of a sleeveless knit top, a bodycon skirt, and a beautiful beauty mark appeared in his mind.

"Oh, it's that mother."

He was struck in the abdomen as soon as he finished speaking.

"You idiot! You and I should be on the same side, why do you always side with outsiders?"

I'm sorry, Sister Yu Xin, but I might not be turning my back on my own elbow... Lin Shuxuan doesn't dwell on this topic.

"I still have time today, let me practice some more."

Yu Xin shook her head.

"Tomorrow is the team competition. Go meet your teammates and also come up with some tactics for the match."

She looked up at the clock in the center of the hall.

"She's almost there."

Lin Shuxuan keenly grasped the word "to".

"Isn't my teammate Ye Lingyue?"

If she's a girl with no sense of direction, she won't be able to get there unless he goes to pick her up.

"The team competition is a three-person competition. Besides Ye Lingyue, you have another teammate."

Lin Shuxuan was somewhat puzzled.

"There's no need for that. With Ye Lingyue and me, there are a total of 301 Lin Shuxuans. We should be able to crush anyone we face."

He still remembered Yu Xin's assessment of their combat strength: Ye Lingyue was roughly equivalent to 300 of him.

Yu Xin rolled her eyes.

"You're quite self-aware, but bringing this girl to the competition is a task assigned by the Federation; oh, here she is."

Lin Shuxuan looked towards the doorway.
