Chapter 785: Lin Ye, he is actually this strong??

"Get down! Get down for me!"

"How does a Suta have the qualifications to challenge a Kshatriya! Get down quickly!"

"Rebellious! This is simply rebellious!"

In an instant, the fury of the entire arena fell upon Karna, while Karna merely stood silently in place. The hand he used to hold his bow and arrows had veins bulging; if it were someone with a more explosive temper, they might have already begun a massacre by now.

However, he was Karna.

"Who says a Suta cannot challenge a Kshatriya!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out across the martial arts arena. The next second, a figure appeared directly beside Karna—it was Lin Ye!

"Lin Ye! Why did you come down! Go back quickly!"

Karna looked anxiously at Lin Ye, who had come down. In Karna's heart, Lin Ye was an aspiring young man about to spread his wings, but his strength was only average; he couldn't even defeat a few Kuru soldiers. Wasn't he just courting death by coming down at a time like this?

However, looking at the anxious Karna, Lin Ye patted his shoulder, then looked toward everyone in front of him and said:

"Who says a Suta cannot challenge a Kshatriya?"

"Of course they cannot!" Drona stood out directly. Just as he had refused to accept Karna as a disciple back then, he looked at the King of Dhritarashtra and the others on the high platform before saying, "Kshatriyas are the noble ruling class, while a Suta is a mixed-blood born in violation of the caste system. What qualifications does such a person have to challenge a Kshatriya!"

In the caste system, besides the most basic Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras, there was another existence: the "mixed-blood." For example, a Suta was the child of a Brahmin and a Kshatriya, while a Vaidehaka was the child of a Vaishya man and a Brahmin woman.

This kind of "mixed-blood" was considered a product of violating the caste system. Their status was lower than that of the Vaishya farmers and herdsmen, and they could only hold positions like charioteers, similar to the Shudra slaves.

Listening to Drona's words, Lin Ye asked indifferently, "So, why is a Kshatriya a Kshatriya, and a Suta a Suta?"

"Naturally, because of reincarnation," Drona said as a matter of course. "A Vaishya spends a lifetime of cultivation to become a Kshatriya in the next life, and a Kshatriya spends a lifetime of cultivation to become a Brahmin in the next life."

Lin Ye: "So, a Kshatriya is always a Kshatriya, and a Suta can only ever be a Suta?"

"Of course!" Drona said firmly.

However, Lin Ye laughed. "Then... if the Kuru Kingdom is destroyed, and you high-and-mighty Kshatriyas are turned into slaves, would you then become Shudras?"

"Audacious!"

In an instant, everyone looked at Lin Ye in shock! How could this man dare! Saying such things here was no different from telling the King to his face that you were going to rebel!

"Sigh." Karna let out a sigh. He had originally wanted to endure for a moment so that peace would prevail, but Lin Ye's words made him exhale.

That's right, who says a Kshatriya is forever a Kshatriya? When your country is gone, I'd like to see what pride you Kshatriyas have left!

"But that is a matter for the future. I should first cover Lin Ye and let him rush out."

Karna thought this, but what happened the next second made his eyes widen.

"Audacious! Seize these two madmen for me!"

The King of Dhritarashtra could not listen any longer and ordered the two to be seized on the spot. Instantly, seven or eight soldiers rushed directly toward the two! ===== CHAPTER 787 =====
