Chapter 78

Golin sat on the ground in a daze, unable to believe that he had lost again.

What was supposed to be a battle to wash away his humiliation had ended in an even more thorough defeat. At least last time, he and Luo Feng had fought fiercely, and he had only lost at the last moment.

No, I won't lose again. He is the son of the guild president, how could he lose twice to a poor guy from the basic class!

Springing up from the ground, Golin's martial aura erupted, transforming into dozens of golden flying swords that shot towards Luo Feng.

Secretly transmitted martial technique — Flying Sword Absolute Formation!

"That doesn't count. This is my true power, Luo Feng, die!"

Everyone's expressions changed, as Golin's actions completely violated the rules of fairness.

Luo Feng had clearly defeated him. If he hadn't held back, Golin would likely be lying on the ground, unable to get up. Yet, he shamelessly refused to admit defeat and even launched a sneak attack on Luo Feng.

Even the people from Class Two felt that Golin's actions were utterly disgraceful.

What a reckless move!

Luo Feng's face darkened, his martial aura activated again, and he immediately vanished.

This situation was familiar, especially to Golin, as it was the same before Luo Feng defeated him with Meteor Shower last time.

That's... the prelude to a killing move!

His hands pushed out from his waist, the starting posture similar to a Qi Rush, but not quite the same.

A massive column of energy, with an extremely domineering force, met the Flying Sword Absolute Formation.

Orange Rank Five Killing Move — Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun.

This was another reason Luo Feng was confident he could win Golin. He had already mastered the second Five-Star Killing Move, and with the enhancement of the Spirit Gathering Core, this killing move was even more powerful.

Unlike Meteor Shower, Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun had a shorter duration, but the destructive power it unleashed in an instant was quite terrifying.

The golden flying swords were shattered like dry twigs by the energy column, and the remaining force was still intense.

Seeing Golin about to be injured, no one felt pity for him, nor did they think Luo Feng was too ruthless. After all, Golin had shamelessly launched a sneak attack first, and they were also amazed by the power of Luo Feng's move.

At this moment, a figure suddenly darted out from the crowd, moving with incredible speed. A flash of golden light, and the remaining force of Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun was dispelled.

Using only the natural defense of martial aura, he blocked such a powerful impact. Even in the third year, no one could do that. This person was Golin's father, Gotart.

The battle was a private arrangement between Luo Feng and Golin, unrelated to the Bond Guild, but Gotart, worried about his son, had come when he heard about it. Seeing the unexpected turn of events, he immediately intervened to save Golin.

He needed to save not only Golin's body but also his dignity. Otherwise, after this battle, the already proud Golin might suffer a fatal blow to his psyche and even lose all confidence.

Thinking of this, Gotart shouted, "Luo Feng, the technique you just used, was it a special combat technique?"

The fast, accurate, and ruthless continuous moves were distinctly characteristic of special combat techniques, which the academy definitely wouldn't teach. Gotart deliberately asked to test Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's expression changed slightly, noticed by Gotart.

Indeed, this kid used a special combat technique. This would save Golin's reputation.

Gotart shouted, "Luo Feng, by privately learning a special combat technique, you have violated federal law. You will face severe punishment from the military."

Special combat technique!

Noticing this crucial term, everyone was surprised.

"Was the move Luo Feng used at the end a special combat technique?"

"No, that was a killing move. It must have been the previous continuous moves. Now that you mention it, they do resemble the style of special forces."

"Except for special forces, no one else can learn special combat techniques. If Luo Feng really used a special combat technique, even if a special forces member taught him, it would still be illegal. He might be expelled from the academy or even arrested and sentenced!"

"..."

Gotart, who was already extremely dejected, suddenly perked up. After Luo Feng's defeat, he had become a laughingstock at Starlight Academy. But if Luo Feng had used a special combat technique in the battle, which was against the law, then his victory would be unjust, and Gotart would have an excuse.

All the students from Class Eight were worried about Luo Feng, except for Aaron, who remained calm.

Truly a shrewd and cunning businessman, Golin's father had tried to indirectly help his son with this tactic. However, this time, his plan would likely backfire, and he would face a significant obstacle.

Gotart indeed wanted to ruin Luo Feng and completely remove this obstacle for Golin. He immediately reported to the military.

A few days later, the result came out, and Gotart was stunned. Luo Feng was found not guilty.

Gotart was very puzzled and went to the federal military headquarters to find the person in charge of the case: "General Gray, why was the student from Starlight Academy, who privately learned a special combat technique, found not guilty? Didn't he seriously violate federal law?"

General Gray explained, "Because the student learned a technique that is not a special combat technique."

"But the style is clearly very similar to a special combat technique!" In fact, Gotart was certain based on Luo Feng's expression at the time that it was related to a special combat technique.

General Gray patiently said, "It was indeed taught by an old special forces member, but these are combat techniques he created after retirement."

"Even if they are self-created techniques, they must have borrowed from special combat techniques!" Gotart's persistent questioning annoyed General Gray, who said sternly, "Mr. Gotart, we appreciate your enthusiasm in reporting violations, but it's not up to you to decide the scope of special combat techniques!"

The military's decision to find Luo Feng not guilty was not without reason.

After they took Luo Feng for questioning, they learned the origin of the Thunder Six Techniques and confirmed the facts after an investigation.

If it had been someone else, the military's attitude might have been different. However, the person who taught Luo Feng the Thunder Six Techniques was a retired special forces instructor who had dedicated his entire life to the special forces. Even after retirement, he continued to contribute by teaching new recruits at the energy essence condensation field. He was highly respected and had made significant contributions to the military, a model soldier.

Perhaps the old instructor felt that the student at Starlight Academy had good potential and taught him a few combat techniques he had created, which incorporated the style of special combat techniques. The military naturally turned a blind eye to this.

If Luo Feng were found guilty, the old instructor who taught him those techniques would also be held responsible. The military would not arrest such a highly respected and greatly contributing old instructor for such a minor issue, as it would have a significant negative impact and discourage many soldiers from serving the military wholeheartedly.

Moreover, the person in charge of the case, General Gray, was a student of the old instructor, and he would naturally be lenient, both out of duty and personal respect.

Considering Gotart's reputation in Victoria City, General Gray explained the situation, but Gotart was still persistent and wanted to delve deeper, finally angering General Gray.

"Mr. Gotart, if you believe the military's handling of the case is inappropriate, you can appeal to the federal court. That's all!"

With that, General Gray turned and left, leaving Gotart embarrassed.

On the road at Starlight Academy, Luo Feng, who had just finished a public class, looked worried.

Although Instructor Orlando had said that learning the Thunder Six Techniques was not illegal, and he was quickly released after being questioned by the military, he remained uneasy, fearing that the military might come back to arrest him and that the old instructor might be implicated.

Noticing his thoughts, Aaron comforted him, "Don't worry, Luo Feng. Everything will be fine."

Luo Feng nodded, "I hope so."

Near the classroom, a large crowd gathered around the bulletin board, so Luo Feng and Aaron also went over.

A few classmates from Class Eight soon spotted them and said happily, "Class President, you're innocent!"

"Hehe, I told you, the Class President wouldn't do anything illegal!"

"He won Golin fairly. After losing, Golin refused to admit it and even tried to sneak attack the Class President. If his father hadn't intervened, he would have been injured by the Class President's counterattack!"

"..."

The bulletin board contained a statement from the military, explaining that the combat techniques Luo Feng had learned were self-created by a retired special forces member and did not fall under the category of special combat techniques prohibited for non-special forces members, and thus did not violate federal military law.

Seeing this statement, Luo Feng finally felt relieved and was very happy.

Since the Thunder Six Techniques were not prohibited special combat techniques, he and the old instructor were not guilty, and he could continue using them.

It would be a great loss to give up such efficient skills.

Golin was also at the bulletin board, and upon seeing the statement, he was stunned.

With this military statement, he had no more excuses to hide behind. Suddenly, he shouted hysterically, "Luo Feng, you definitely used a special combat technique, and I still don't accept my loss!"

Luo Feng laughed, his face full of disdain, "Losing is not a big deal, but Golin, you are someone who can't accept defeat. Even now, you're still making excuses for yourself. To be honest, you are more fragile than many people, hehe!"

With that, Luo Feng ignored him and went to the public class with Aaron.

Golin's face turned ashen, as Luo Feng's pointed words completely shattered him.

Like a deflated balloon, he lost all fighting spirit. Luo Feng's retreating figure seemed incredibly tall to him, even creating an illusion.

This mountain would always stand in front of him, a barrier he could never cross!
