Although the news of Linlong beating up Ren Yang, causing his face to swell up like a pig's head, quickly spread throughout the entire academy, the trial was not held in front of the entire academy. Instead, it was held in a small courtroom.
On this morning, other than the person in question, there were only a few other mentors in the courtroom.
Before the trial began, Tan Qiwei shouted angrily at Linlong, "Linlong, you beat up a fellow disciple in public. You violated the 17th commandment of the academy. Do you know your crime?"
Tan Qiwei was tall and had a full beard. His shout was so imposing that those who were weaker felt as though they were under the weight of Mount Tai.
Before Linlong could speak, Ye Zhuangya had already blocked it for him. Ye Zhuangya said coldly, "Mentor Tan, the trial hasn't begun and the matter hasn't been settled yet. How can you say that you violated the commandment?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Song Dongming hurriedly said, "The two of you should listen to my judgment first."
"Hmph!" After a cold snort, Tan Qiwei did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked at Song Dongming and said, "I hope that Mentor Song will enforce the law impartially."
"Of course." Song Dongming smiled bitterly.
Although he was a law enforcement mentor in the academy, he could not afford to offend these two people.
Then, Song Dongming's expression changed as he looked at Linlong and said, "Linlong, Ren Yang said that you beat him up maliciously. Is that true?"
"It's true that I beat him up. However, there's a reason for that," Linlong said.
"What's the reason? Mentor Song, convict this brat immediately," Tan Qiwei said loudly.
"Mentor Tan, please be quiet. Otherwise, I'll convict Ren Yang of this matter." Song Dongming helplessly brought out his prestige as a law enforcement mentor. Only then did Tan Qiwei shut up.
"What's the reason?" Song Dongming asked.
"Because the other party made the first move. The other party's strength is astonishing and he even used spirit fire. Under such circumstances, if I did not retaliate, I would definitely be beaten to death. Therefore, I had no choice but to retaliate with all my strength. However, I did not expect the other party to be so weak," Linlong said calmly.
When he heard this, Ren Yang, whose face was still red and swollen, was stunned. He had originally thought that he was injured by Lin Long, so he would definitely be able to convict Lin Long based on this. Who would have thought that Lin Long would actually bite back at him?
This was naturally because he had no experience.
When it came to experience, Linlong was much richer than him. In his previous life, Linlong had done many similar things in a certain academy. It was also because of this that he knew how to make use of the rules.
"Ren Yang, is that true?" Song Dongming looked at Ren Yang.
"This …" After being stunned for a moment, Ren Yang immediately denied it. "There's no such thing. Lin Long is the one who is bullying others."
Now that things had come to this, he could only brace himself and say this.
"Do you need me to summon a witness?" Linlong asked.
"Um." Song Dongming nodded.
Very quickly, under Linlong's signal, a few female disciples with Ye Zhuangya's name entered the courtroom. These female disciples were naturally those who had been present that day.
As soon as the female disciples entered, they recounted everything that had happened that day in full detail. They even recounted how Lin Long hugged Murong Xue and tried to kiss her. Murong Xue's face immediately turned red.
After hearing what had happened, all the instructors present shook their heads. It was obvious that Ren Yang had been angered by Lin Long and had fallen into his trap.
Tan Qiwei's expression grew unsightly as well.
Now that things had come to this, Ren Yang didn't even have a reason to protest.
Although Ren Yang was the one who was injured in the end, he was the one who made the first move, so Linlong's fault is not Lin Long's. However, this matter has too much of an impact, so both of you will be given demerits. I hope you won't do it again. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the academy. Is that clear? "Song Dongming said solemnly.
"This disciple understands," Linlong said with a slight smile.
"This disciple understands," Ren Yang replied, his head drooping.
This clearly meant that he'd suffered a beating for nothing. But now that things had come to this, what else could he do? He could only curse Linlong's cunning and ruthless methods.
When he heard this, Tan Qiwei snorted coldly and walked out.
Ren Yang followed closely behind, glaring viciously at Linlong as he left.
On the way back, Ren Yang said to Tan Qiwei, "Master, what should we do?"
How could Tan Qiwei not understand Ren Yang's words? He immediately said, "Ren Yang, don't worry. When Linlong goes out on a mission, just secretly get someone to teach him a lesson."
He had just probed Linlong's strength and felt that Linlong wasn't very strong. So, he could easily find someone to teach him a lesson.
"Master, back then, Chen Mu also wanted to get Senior Brother Fengcheng and the others to teach Linlong a lesson. But for some reason, Senior Brother Fengcheng and the others turned to blackmail Chen Mu," Ren Yang said worriedly.
"Something like that happened?" Tan Qiwei was a little surprised.
"That's what I heard. Although I don't know the specifics, it's not far from the truth. After all, Chen Mu had a good relationship with Senior Brother Fengcheng and the others. There's no reason for him to not get revenge after being bullied by Linlong," Ren Yang said.
After thinking for a moment, Tan Qiwei said, "It seems that Ye Zhuangya is behind it."
"That's what the surrounding people guessed." Ren Yang nodded.
"Hmph. Since Ye Zhuangya can help him to such an extent, how can I tolerate you being bullied by others? So, don't worry. Be bold and do it. If you really can't do it, then I'll make a move," Tan Qiwei said coldly.
As the head of the ten great teachers, Tan Qiwei had never suffered such grievances. So, he wanted to get back at them no matter what.
"That's great." Seeing that his teacher had agreed to help, Ren Yang's face immediately lit up.
'Linlong, you brat, just you wait. When the time comes, I'll definitely make you wish you were dead.' Ren Yang thought fiercely in his heart.
Linlong didn't know about this. After returning, he buried his head in cultivation again.
Soon, the fifteen day deadline arrived. On this day, Ye Zhuangya began to test the results of their studies.
With Linlong's strength, he naturally didn't need to listen to Ye Zhuangya's teachings. However, in order to show that he wanted to improve, Linlong still silently read out the contents of the Medicine Encyclopedia.
Out of the forty people, a total of thirty-five passed. This result was not surprising. After all, those who could enter the Sky Evolution Academy weren't that bad.
After this, Ye Zhuangya began to use her own method to teach these disciples the knowledge of medicine refinement.
Ye Zhuangya basically talked for half a day and then let them use five or six days or even more to learn and comprehend.
Of course, these disciples didn't use all of this time on medicine refinement. Instead, they found some time to do missions.
