Chapter 945: For the first time

Although in martial arts competitions, fists and feet have no eyes and accidents are inevitable, there is still a difference between accidental injury and intentional murder.

"At that time, my disciple had already lost the ability to fight back, yet Xu Tian was still relentless, and even killed him right there on the stage!" Gong Changming was heartbroken. "Everyone present can testify that it was Elder Su's disciple who committed intentional murder!"

He specifically mentioned Elder Su, attempting to drag him into this as well.

"Without proof or evidence, you cannot spout blood!" Elder Su was not to be outdone. "Everyone present only saw the result, which is that my disciple killed Hu Tianqi, but is it possible that all of this was designed by Hu Tianqi?"

"As a special-grade hunter, he was beaten to the point of having no power to fight back by my disciple on the arena, felt he had lost face, and couldn't face the other students of the same period in the future, so he burned his boats and deliberately died on the stage, with the goal of framing my disciple with the crime of harming a fellow student?"

After a pause, Elder Su added.

"Or, is it that you instructed your disciple to frame Xu Tian, with the goal of targeting me?"

"Nonsense!" Gong Changming was so angry his beard curled up. "This is simply nonsense!"

"You make rash conclusions without investigating clearly; isn't it you, Gong Changming, who is the one spouting nonsense first and intending to pin the crime on my disciple?" Elder Su sneered.

"The two of you, stop arguing." The Manor Master's sharp gaze swept over Elder Su and Gong Changming.

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

The two men, both over fifty, glared at each other unconvinced, but said no more.

"The Xu Tian you are talking about, is that the person on the arena?" The Manor Master looked sideways toward the arena.

"That's right, that brat is Xu Tian!"

A high-level official from the Supervision Department replied.

"Manor Master, this brat was drinking on the arena, spouted wild words after getting drunk, behaved improperly, and even injured members of the Supervision Department."

"Then what is he doing now..." The Manor Master frowned and asked.

"He probably got too drunk and fell asleep right on the stage. Isn't this ridiculous?" The high-level official from the Supervision Department looked at the soundly sleeping Xu Tian with disdain, and then requested, "Manor Master, why don't we arrest him first and lock him in the Supervision Department dungeon, and interrogate him after he wakes up?"

"Asleep?" The Manor Master raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Then wait until he wakes up to ask."

The Manor Master's words left the high-level officials present confused. Xu Tian killed someone on the arena, yet the Manor Master wouldn't let the Supervision Department send him to the dungeon, and was actually kind enough to let him sleep until he woke up?

But since the Manor Master had spoken, the others could not refute it and could only wait for Xu Tian on the stage to wake up.

Under such circumstances, the martial arts competition certainly could not continue, but many students who had arrived with the mentality of watching the fun did not leave either.

As for the VIPs and high-level officials in the VIP seats, except for a few who left early due to prior engagements, most of the others sat in their seats waiting, just like the Manor Master and the others.

About an hour later, Xu Tian on the stage slowly opened his eyes.

He discovered he was still on the arena, felt a shock in his heart, and sprang up with a carp-like motion.

The students under the stage saw Xu Tian wake up, but did not dare to make a sound, only watching him quietly, fearing he would go crazy again and hit anyone he saw.

Xu Tian sensed the strange gazes from under the stage and tried hard to recall the memories before he got drunk.

He had participated in the martial arts competition, and then in order to win, he drank high-proof white liquor while fighting Hu Tianqi and Hu Xiaofeng.

After that, he had no impression at all of what happened on the arena.

"It seems this liquor can restore my strength, but it also took away my brain..." Xu Tian muttered to himself.

He couldn't remember a single thing about what happened after drinking.

However, seeing that there was no one on the arena, even the old man hosting the competition was not on the stage.

He looked under the stage and asked a question.

"Not continuing the competition?"

The crowd under the stage:...

Xu Tian saw their reaction and felt even more surprised.

Why did no one answer him?

Or was it that the competition had already ended, and he only fell asleep because he was drunk?

After all, if he had fallen asleep during the competition and woken up, he certainly wouldn't be feeling so relaxed.

Hu Tianqi and Hu Xiaofeng were eager to kill him; seeing him asleep, they wouldn't have stopped the competition, but would have taken advantage of his condition.

The old host hiding under the stage almost fainted from anger upon hearing Xu Tian say this.

How could this brat have the nerve to ask "Why not continue the competition?"

Seeming to sense the old host's resentful gaze, Xu Tian looked sideways and happened to spot him in the crowd.

"Sorry, I had a blackout from drinking just now. I don't know if the competition has ended, and what the result is? What place am I?"

The old host:...

The crowd under the stage:...

"Xu Tian, you say you had a blackout from drinking just now and don't know what happened?" The old host, who had been kicked by Xu Tian, frowned and sneered. "That's really a good excuse!"

Committing a major mistake and killing a fellow student cannot be covered up by just saying one was drunk.

"Xu Tian, you violated the Manor's rules, were arrogant, and killed your opponent Hu Tianqi on the arena, yet you still don't repent. According to the Manor's rules, you should be executed!" Hu Xiaofeng shouted at Xu Tian.

Xu Tian followed the direction of the voice, looked up and saw Hu Xiaofeng hiding behind Gong Changming, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He killed Hu Tianqi on the arena?

Hu Tianqi was, after all, Gong Changming's top disciple, a special-grade hunter; was he killed by himself so easily?

Wouldn't that be too exaggerated?

And Xu Tian knew very well that after he got drunk, although his strength would increase significantly, he had never committed any act of killing.

Including the Tang family's secret guards and the members of the Thunder Hall before, Xu Tian had only taught them a harsh lesson and never killed anyone.

"Brother Tian, look at this!"

Liu Shasha squeezed from the crowd to the edge of the arena and handed over her mobile phone.

Just now, while Xu Tian was competing, she recorded the whole video to make it easier to show proof when bragging to others later, but she didn't expect to have captured Xu Tian's murder scene.

"You really killed someone just now..."

Xu Tian heard Liu Shasha say this and took the phone with skepticism.

After seeing the content on the video, Xu Tian had an expression of disbelief.

Yun Mufeng, which was his former self, actually had strength even greater than he had imagined.

And he didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately; if Hu Tianqi hadn't tried to sneak attack him with a poison needle, he wouldn't have dealt a lethal blow to him.

Therefore, Xu Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with killing Hu Tianqi while he was drunk.

Hu Tianqi meeting this end could only be said to be deserved.

But killing someone without consciousness still left Xu Tian somewhat shocked.

He had been on Wuji Island for so long, and although he had clashed with other forces several times, this was the first time he had personally killed someone.
