Chapter 435: Ninth Star!

"If that's how the disciplinary department judges everybody, then I'd say I'm pretty disappointed." David shook his head as his voice resounded in the court room.

"How dare you!? The disciplinary department and it's judges each cases with fairness, who are you to question us!?" Another old man shouted as he stood up from his seat.

"You shall to accept your judgement and prepare for your punishment. I advice we lock him up at the water prison for 3 months. Seeing how stubborn he is, it wouldn't be easy to make him repent." The previous old man that had shouted suggested and the sat back to his seat.

"I agree to fourth elder suggestion." The others nodded their heads in agreement like it wasn't a bad idea.

"Wait." The voice of the Dean echoed, stopping all of the decision making.

"David, do you think you are been unfairly judged?" The middle aged man asked with curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, I do."

"Hm, can you elaborate on why you think so." The Dean asked again.

David nodded his head as he stepped forwards. "Like I was saying before I was being interrupted. Yes I used my genetic energy during the mission given to me. But if you've done an in-depth research, most of you would have realized that genetic energy is no different from mental energy."

"The same way you can't stop using mental energy is the same way we also can't stop using genetic energy. Therefore telling me not to use genetic energy is simply asking me to die. And I believe the disciplinary department wouldn't want murder on their hands right?" Finishing his words, David stepped backwards like he had given up on saying anything else.

Hearing his words, the committee went silent and they discussed amongst each other with this new found information.

Soon, a different person stood up this time and he was a middle aged man.

"Ahem. We've decided that this seem to be a mistake on our part but then, we came to a new question. Seeing as you can't do without using genetic energy, you could have translated the instructions to not using any technique but you violated the rule and almost destroyed half the forest's outskirt in the process, how do you plead?" The middle-aged man pressed on.

David remained silent for a moment and the atmosphere gradually became tense as an oppressive wave of mental energy pressed down on him as though there was a mountain place at his back.

Struggling to raise his head, David replied solemnly. "I plead not guilty!"

"Insolence! I think the court has given this kid enough chances already. Guards, take him to the water prison!" The shouting old man yelled in anger. The wave of pressure weighing down on David instantly intensified by more than two times.

Instantly, the ground beneath him exploded as his two feet entered three inches into the ground, his legs buckled, but he refused to kneel. Sweat began to drip from his veined patterned forehead and his face had long since turned pale.

David gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes as he struggled to withstand the pressure looking right at the old man in yielding. That pressure was coming from a Perfect Earth ranked stage expert, for David to still remain standing even under such pressure was very impressive to say the least.

"Be calm third elder, let's hear what he has to say first." The Dean immediately cut in and interrupted.

Finally relieved from the pressure, David took in a deep breath and gaze at the old man with an unreadable expression on his face before speaking out loud.

"The destruction wasn't caused because I utilised my genetic technique to attack, it was because I used the legendary weapon this academy granted me. Now, why I'm I at fault for using it! Tell me!" His voice practically screamed that he had been wrongly judged.

Various elders frowned as they paused, glancing at each other, and then at David.

"The Weapon's spirit had accepted you?" The Dean looked surprised as he asked David.

David shook his head. "No."

"Then how did you use the legendary weapon." The Dean asked obviously confused as to where David was going.

"I just swung it around with my full strength." The Dean frowned at David's response and then asked.

"Do you mind showing us how?"

David hesitate slightly. Not because he was in the wrong, only because he was slightly scare they might snatch the weapon from him.

"Fifth star."

David's muscles expanded and veins ten size of three fingers combined popped up around his body. His ring flashed and a couple of mechanical sound echoed as a large rusty blade the size of a grown man appeared in his hands.

"Boom!"

The tiled ground exploded as David placed the blade in the floor. The elders pupils immediately constricted. It was true, he could really carry the legendary weapon.

"Being able to carry the weapon doesn't mean it was the cause of the devastation in the first outskirt." The fourth elder piped in.

David's face flashed with coldness. At first, he thought the old man was against him because of this issue but now, that doesn't see to be the case. He didn't know why this old man had been against him from the beginning but he certainly didn't care. He just wanted to bash the old man to his death so he could finally stop talking.

David squinted his eyes and said after some thought. "I have an idea."

The Dean was quite surprised, but chose listen to David's idea he replied. "Oh, let's hear it."

David took in a deep breath and spoke. "Since the old man doesn't believe I have the strength to cause such devastation with the blade, I think he should take one swing from me first and we will be able decide if I can or I can't."

David's suggestion took the committee by surprise as it was no different from challenging a peak earth realm practitioner.

Before anybody could voice their disagreement, the old man had already jumped off his seat and landed right at the open space before David with the help of his flying blade. His face flashed with an hidden killing intent as he smiled at David which David immediately noticed with his powerful senses.

When one reached the earth realm, ones mental energy would be powerful enough to sustain ones own weight thereby, one would be able to use sword kinesis to fly.

David's eyes flashed as he gazed at the old man. Then a smile formed on his lips as he asked, "Should we start?"

The Dean frowned as he gazed at what the situation had ended up to. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen when White notices his disciple was asking to be severely injured and possibly killed. He would very much like to avoid a troublesome individual like white.

However what could he possibly do if it was his disciple that personally asked for it.

The middle-aged man sighed, massaging his head, he was beginning to develop an headache.

"Alright then. David, you can start anytime soon." The Dean seem to have made a decision as he spoke up.

David nodded his head and took in a deep breathe. His veins popped as he gazed at the lanky old man before him with a ferocious look.

The old man had an evil smirk on his face and when he saw David brought the blade up, his hands slammed together as he formed an hand seal. "When I was just looking for ways to eliminate you, you actually placed yourself in a golden platter and served me. What more could I possibly ask for?"

"Heavenly Annihilation: Massacre!" upon his words, the world froze for a single moment and the environment instantly changed.

The large court disappeared and the skies turned pitch black with three blood red moon hanging above illuminating the battle field. Below was a large clearing of battlefield filled with lots of dead bodies and body parts of humans. Making blood flow though the land like a river, it was a complete massacre!

David could even smell the nauseating smell of blood, spit and intestinal organ wafting into his nose as though he was really in a true battle field.

A man with only half his body left had unknowingly appeared beside David, grabbing him by his thigh. "Help me."

David's eyes widened and his spine tingled. Immediately he gazed forward and saw a large blade more than three meters wide and tall pierce through the air with screeching noise, with speed that broke air barrier twice. If it weren't for his extraordinary sense for danger, he might have not seen the attack coming

Anger immediately surged within David's heart. "Do you think I'm easily bullied!?"

"Ninth star!"

RUMBLE!

There was no warning as the illusion broke like a piece of glass. The blade in David's hands drew a red scar in the atmosphere as it slammed against the gigantic blade!

BOOOOOOOOM!!!
