1518 Prepare to Test
In the room outside the Judgment Hall.
Supremacy Oville looked at the calm and careful Chu Nan on the virtual screen and frowned.
What did this kid want?
He clearly only needed to honestly admit his engagement to Princess Viennelle. Why did he have to cause so much trouble?
If he failed to prove it, wouldn’t that give those elders more reason to suspect him and even Princess Viennelle? It might end up causing trouble and even ruin Prince Lekas’s arrangements, causing him to lose his life in the end?
It was impossible for this kid to be stupid enough not to know the problem. Then, why did he still do this?
“Hey, Angie Prairie, this kid is not that stupid, right?”
Supremacy Oville could not help but turn to look at Angie Prairie. When she turned around, she was shocked.
Beside him, all the melancholy and sadness on Angie Prairie’s face were swept away. That iconic carefree and heartless smile appeared on her beautiful face again, as if an extremely dazzling light had erupted at that moment and she seemed to have become a different person.
“Don’t worry, Master. Of course, he’s not stupid.” Hearing Supremacy Oville’s question, Angie Prairie smiled and turned around to answer. Then, she immediately turned around to look at Chu Nan on the virtual screen with extremely strong confidence, “I don’t know why he did this, but I believe he can do it!”
Supremacy Oville looked at Angie Prairie who seemed to have become happy and could not help but be stunned.
After thinking for a moment, she could only shrug and sigh.
“Sigh, it seems that you’ve already been completely charmed by this kid. Alright, let’s see how this kid can do it.”
Supremacy Oville also turned to look at Chu Nan on the virtual screen with a probing gaze.
He could learn the other party’s cultivation method through battle?
In theory, this could indeed be done, but in fact, even if every martial artist used the same cultivation method, they would show different results because of their respective cultivation methods or processes. It was no different from a fool’s dream to master the core of this cultivation method through a rough battle and not detailed teaching.
Of course, Supremacy Oville knew that Chu Nan’s martial arts talent was extremely high and there were many things that were different from ordinary martial artists, but… why was he confident that he could do this?
In the trial hall.
Everyone, including President Anduin and Prince Lekas, looked at Chu Nan in surprise.
This kid… was too arrogant!
He could actually master anyone and any cultivation method through fighting each other?
Did he know what he was saying?
After a moment of silence, the watching Declan royal family could not help but discuss among themselves.
This time, they did not directly mock, criticize, or even curse Chu Nan like before because he was too calm and confident. Instead, they felt a trace of doubt.
What this kid did was too abnormal. He did not look like such a stupid person, but he was still so confident. Then, there might really be a possibility that he could really do such a thing.
“Speaker Anduin.” Prince Lekas suddenly turned to look at him and said, “I think… since Chu Nan feels that he can do it, why don’t we let him try? Since it’s a trial, we have to give him a chance to defend himself, right? Otherwise, if word gets out, won’t outsiders say that our Declan royal family is unreasonable?”
President Anduin frowned and looked at Prince Lekas suspiciously.
Outsiders said that our Declan royal family was unreasonable?
What a joke! When did our Declan royal family want to reason with outsiders? There was no such saying in the entire Milky Way, okay?
What puzzled him even more was that with Prince Lekas’s position, if he wanted to protect Chu Nan’s life, shouldn’t he not want trouble like this?
Now that he had taken the initiative to agree and let Chu Nan try, did he not know the consequences if he failed?
Prince Lekas met President Anduin’s gaze with a calm smile.
President Anduin stared at him for a while before turning around to discuss softly with the other elders. Only then did he raise the wood and gently slap the table.
“Quiet.” President Anduin looked around, causing the discussing Declan royal family to shut up. His gaze focused on him again and he looked at Chu Nan, “Lekas is right. Since it’s a fair trial, we naturally allow you to defend yourself. You just said that you can learn any cultivation method by fighting?”
“Yes.” Chu Nan nodded, “I think this should prove that I didn’t secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique, but grasped a portion of its characteristics through my battle with the princes and princesses. I just said that the Exterminating Heart Technique is only a cultivation method. It’s the use of Internal Breath and spatial energy and is essentially no different from other cultivation methods.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Declan royal family immediately clamored again. Many people pointed at Chu Nan and berated.
How could they endure Chu Nan’s disdain for the Exterminating Heart Technique?
“Silence!” President Anduin had no choice but to slap the wood forcefully to suppress the surrounding commotion, “Alright, since you raised this defense yourself, we’ll give you this chance.”
He turned around and whispered to the other elders. When he turned to look at Chu Nan, his expression became serious.
“I announce that in three days, we will arrange a test for you. If you can’t prove your defense in the test, you will still be judged guilty and wait for your result…”
President Anduin glanced at Prince Lekas and Princess Viennelle.
“The verdict will be reopened after this.”
After saying that, President Anduin stood up, and the other elders stood up and left.
The two guards who had escorted Chu Nan in walked over and picked up the hood that was on his head to cover it again.
“Wait.”
Prince Lekas suddenly spoke and stopped the two guards.
He walked over and glanced at the two guards. The two guards looked at each other and obediently retreated.
“On account that you’ve once saved my life, I’ll allow you to be willful for once.” Prince Lekas was the iconic man of the Declan royal family. He was tall and burly. Standing in front of Chu Nan like this, he lowered his head slightly and looked at him with a serious expression, causing him to appear oppressive. He looked into Chu Nan’s eyes and asked in a low voice, “However, I have to remind you that your willfulness might waste the hard work of many people and might even make you lose your life. Therefore, tell me, how confident are you?”
Chu Nan’s gaze did not flicker at all as he shook his head.
“I’m not confident.”
Prince Lekas narrowed his eyes and sneered.
“You still dare to boast without any confidence? Could it be that you really want to die?”
Chu Nan smiled.
“Your Highness, when I passed through the teleportation door previously, I was also not confident. To me, the probability of success for anything that has yet to be achieved is 0.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Unexpectedly, after hearing this answer, Prince Lekas put away the cold expression on his face and smiled, “But you’ll change it to 100 when you do this, right?”
“Yes.”
“Very good.”
Prince Lekas nodded and turned around. He waved at Princess Viennelle and gestured for her to leave.
Princess Viennelle continuously looked back until her gaze met Chu Nan’s. He smiled and nodded at her before revealing a relieved smile and following Prince Lekas out of the Judgment Hall.
The other Declan royal families in the hall looked at Chu Nan with strange expressions for a while before leaving.
The two guards walked forward and raised their helmets. They first gestured to Chu Nan with a questioning gaze. After he nodded in agreement, they carefully put the helmets on his head.
The cold helmet landed and Chu Nan’s vision and hearing were cut off. Darkness appeared in front of him again.
