Chapter 1317 Conpensation

Emperor Kong felt a jolt in his mind after hearing these words. He felt embarrassed that his apprentice had to remind him, but he was glad she did. He exhaled deeply and nodded in approval to her before closing his eyes.

Xu Shi sighed in relief after seeing this. She knows how capable her master is. With his intelligence, he was more than capable of competing with Wang Wei; he might even win some battles. Since the lower dimension, she's been studying [Dao Overlords], trying to understand who they were and what made them so terrifying.

The conclusion she deduced was the [Outlaw Trial]. On the surface, this trial was to test whether these people were worthy to wield these innately potent Daos, but that was far from the truth. However, Xu Shi did not believe these words. The idea of wielding laws is only a bait Grand Dao used to attract these overlords. Most of them are arrogant and prideful, thus usually choosing these "super" Daos.

The core of the [Outlaw Trial] is to mold these people into the monster they are. Under the pressure of death and having no choice but to rely on their intelligence to survive, the Dao Lords and Overlords are slowly and methodically transformed into the ultimate schemers, strategizers, and manipulators as they fight for their lives in a chess game against Heavenly Dao.

To have the slightest chance at survival, they must be flawless. They must learn to think countless steps ahead, break the shackles in their minds, become capable of thinking outside the box, attain mastery over controlling their emotions, know their weaknesses—physically and mentally—and learn how to prevent others from taking advantage of their flaws.

According to Xu Shi, many Dao Lords or Dao Overlord Seeds exist in the world. These people have the potential to pass the trial and might even have been on the list of people that Grand Dao planned to lure and train. However, these people made different choices, choosing non-outlaw Daos. His master was one of them.

These seeds can become as terrifying as the Dao Overlords without the trial. However, this usually requires an extremely long period of training. Without the trial, they must mold themselves into that monster. Of course, the process was not easy—especially the one about removing the cognitive blockade of the mind. Most of these seeds might spend the rest of their lives without succeeding or barely succeeding. Compared to the direct advantage of passing the trial, the slow and steady approach was less effective.

Lin Fan looked at his wife. He knew she was studying Wang Wei's behavior, but he did not expect her to know him so "intimately." He gave her a look that said why do you know so much about another man. Xu Shi rolled his eyes, so Lin Fan changed tactics. He used his facial expression to indicate to her that he was emotionally hurt and that she should heal his bruising heart. Unfortunately, he only received a pinch and a warning not to play around. However, Lin Fan could not be defeated so easily. He must make a big deal out of this. Was he jealous? Absolutely not. He knew what kind of person his wife was, so he trusted her. However, this was a rare opportunity for him to get some action, so he would not waste it. However, he also understood this was indeed not the best time and place, so he gave his wife one of those looks that only couples understood; he did not hide his intention.

Xu Shi replied with a look that said they would talk later, and Lin Fan chuckled internally. Since she did not give him a direct no, he had already won half of the battle. His future looked bright.

After analyzing Wang Wei's words, he realized the Eternal Ascension World's Heavenly Dao was highly ambitious. It probably wishes to acquire the title of [Strongest Chaos World]. With such ambitions, there will be plenty of opportunities to repay the debt. Additionally, other worlds will not stand by and watch as this world becomes increasingly more powerful — especially after seeing how capable it was during the Second Origin War.

Emperor Kong looked in the distance and uttered: "A bright mirror can reflect anything — even the secrecy and hiddenness of fate." An intense Righteous Qi gathered above the academy to form an invisible mirror that shone its light on every corner of this enormous city. The mirror's light had a direct target — people's Fate Line. It observed and kept a watch on everything.

A few people noticed this change, were shocked, and readied to defend themselves. However, after noticing the Dean's breath, they stopped themselves.

'After taking over Blood Dragon's territory, Wang Wei's Fate Shadow Guard should have expanded. This method should make it harder for them to infiltrate the academy,' Emperor Kong thought. He then finally focused on his disciples: "Shi'er, thank you very much." Her words not only changed his mindset on how to deal with Wang Wei but also how to deal with other powerful opponents with high-level intellects.

"Master, I'm only doing my job as a disciple."

Emperor Kong smiled; "That's why you're my favorite."

"Master!" Lin Fan complained. He used to be the favorite.

"It's not like you didn't know this," Emperor Kong waved his hand before glancing at his son. "Why are you jittery?"

Bai Han — complaining in his mind that he was the son and should be the favorite — woke up after hearing his father's words. "Madam Shun came again; this time, she said she won't leave until you decide."

Emperor Kong groaned softly. He had just dealt with one headache, but another arrived at his door.
