Chapter 525: Wang Zhen

In the huge arena, 100 psychics stand.

Everyone releases their aura, building up momentum for the upcoming melee.

And among this group of people, Catherine, standing in the very center of the arena, is the most conspicuous.

She just holds her holy sword and stands there quietly.

She doesn't explode with any aura like the other contestants around her, but the feeling she gives is full of pressure.

It is as if a god walking in the human world, her expression carrying a coldness that despises everything.

Coupled with her white, exquisite oval face, it gives a unique sense of beauty.

"Contestants, get ready! The competition... begins now!"

As the commentator's voice falls, various psychic auras erupt throughout the arena.

Catherine in the very center also decisively activates her ability.

Swish—

Three pairs of white wings unfold behind her, and she slowly flies upward, finally hovering in mid-air.

"Holy Light Verdict!"

Endless golden holy light erupts, and Catherine seems to transform into a small golden sun!

And the light shed from this makes the entire arena fall into a chorus of wails!

Rank 5 psychics with lower levels evaporate into thin air.

Rank 6 psychics with higher levels who take the martial artist route can hold on a little longer.

But psychics who take the elementalist route have their elemental shields pierced after holding on for three or four seconds, and they are swallowed by the holy light.

In just five seconds, including Catherine, only 10 people remain in the entire arena...

"This... is it over?"

"Only used 5 seconds! Catherine from the United States is actually this terrifying?!"

"Too terrifying; worthy of being the SS-rank ability 'Holy Angel'!"

"..."

The 100 million spectators on-site are all somewhat shocked.

Too fast!

Catherine's advancement speed is much faster than the other three SS-ranks!

And the Great Xia spectators who were originally excited about the Thunder Emperor's advancement speed feel strong anxiety about this.

"Our Great Xia's two SS-ranks, one took 1 minute and 30 seconds, one took 30 seconds; is this gap too big?"

In the previous Global Genius Exchange Tournament, Great Xia won first place.

In this genius tournament, everyone naturally wants to continue the glory.

But Catherine's appearance makes them feel a strong sense of crisis.

"Su Yu is an Enhancement-type psychic; in terms of killing speed, he is indeed inferior to Catherine, who can master the light elemental power.

But the arena melee results don't represent anything; the Peak Tournament tests individual strength.

Who is strong and who is weak will only be known after they truly fight."

Some high-rank psychics explain, which dispels the audience's doubts.

"Possessing both the sturdy physique of an Enhancement-type psychic and the elemental control of an Elemental-type psychic, as well as strong clearing ability.

This SS-rank ability 'Holy Angel' is indeed very comprehensive."

Xu Jing thinks to himself, while Song Song Qiuyun on the side says with emotion:

"Her ability to control light elements is much stronger than my 'Morning Light'..."

Her Elemental Light-type A-rank ability can bring her extremely strong combat power enhancement in ordinary battles.

But now, compared to the opponent's holy light, the power is inferior by more than one level.

"Why? Do you feel the limitations of your ability?" Xu Jing jokes.

"Indeed a little, but it's okay.

Psychic abilities cannot be changed after awakening, but not everyone has the opportunity for ability evolution like you, Jing."

Instead of feeling sorry for myself, it's better to practice diligently; when I reach the peak, my combat power won't be bad either."

Song Song Qiuyun says with a firm gaze.

Psychic ability is just one of the factors affecting combat power.

Xu Jing smiles.

Ability evolution is indeed rare, but he happens to have a light-type elemental essence for ability evolution in his hand.

He only needs to wait until it is repaired before he can make Song Song Qiuyun's ability undergo a transformation and evolve to S-rank.

"It's not the time yet; after the elemental essence is repaired, I'll give Song Qiuyun a surprise."

Xu Jing thinks silently to himself.

Additionally, Jiang Jiang Chu Chu Xuan possesses an Ice-type ability, which is of the same origin as the Elemental Water-type ability.

That water-type elemental essence might also be able to make her Ice-type ability undergo a transformation...

After watching Catherine's battle, Xu Jing doesn't stay in the virtual space much longer and returns to the real world.

"S-rank! That old guy Wang Zhen is making trouble!"

Just as Xu Jing takes off his consciousness helmet, Eva's crisp voice rings in his ear.

"The National Assembly will start in three days.

Everything will be decided by the councilors; can Wang Zhen still make trouble?" Xu Jing asks with a smile.

"Look for yourself."

Eva waves her little hand, and articles appear in mid-air.

The headlines of these articles were also extremely eye-catching.

"Shocking! SS-rank psychic awakener Xu Jing wantonly kills human psychics without punishment!"

"Sudden! Rank 9 Martial Saint Wang Zhen's son killed by Xu Jing; when questioning, he was instead suppressed by the Leiting Martial Arts Hall!"

"Destroying the corpse and erasing the traces, not even leaving a body! Where is justice! Where is the law!"

"..."

Clicking into an article at random, the content is all about Xu Jing killing Wang Mang.

And related content about Wang Zhen going to the Leiting Martial Arts Hall to ask for an explanation and failing.

The language description is indeed roughly correct, but it conceals the fact that Wang Mang hired assassins first.

Completely framing him as a victim!

Below the articles, there is also a series of comments from onlookers.

"Psychics can kill without punishment? Absurd!"

"It seems there is a problem with our country's law; so what if he is SS-rank? The Son of Heaven breaks the law and is the same as the common people!"

"Ah? I was just watching Xu Jing's competition; I didn't expect him to be such a person."

"..."

The comments below are almost one-sidedly in favor of Wang Zhen.

Occasionally, comments like 'The truth might not be like this' or 'I know Xu Jing; he is definitely not someone who kills the innocent'

are all drowned out by the comments, and they even receive verbal attacks from others.

"With the National Assembly about to open, it seems that old guy Wang Zhen is using public opinion to build momentum for himself."

Xu Jing narrows his eyes.

These news articles were basically published uniformly two hours ago.

It is very obvious that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes.

So much so that every article conceals the fact of why he attacked Wang Mang.

"S-rank, do you need me to make a move and erase all these news articles?"

Eva says eagerly.

In Great Xia, although psychics have privileges, if it involves killing, there will still be punishment.

If public opinion is allowed to ferment, it might really affect the handling result of the National Assembly in 3 days.

"No need."

Xu Jing shakes his head. "Since that old guy Wang Zhen dares to distort the facts so blatantly,

you just publish the cause of the matter on the internet; I believe the eyes of the masses are discerning."

"Alright!" Eva's eyes light up, and she quickly begins her operation. ===== CHAPTER 526 =====
