Chapter 464 - 369: Traitor! Zhao Xing
The Seventh Level, the great war with King Yama.
Fortunately, by the time they reached this point, all the martial artists had been driven to their potential, successfully comprehending the Star Skill.
Before Lu Lin appeared, those martial artists who could elevate themselves to the ninth level were one in ten thousand, dragons among men.
With Lu Lin putting so much effort into helping, if they still couldn’t comprehend, it would truly waste Lu Lin’s good intentions.
Soon, in the Star Power Domain, there was only one person left who hadn’t comprehended the Star Skill.
This was the founder of the Alien Star Running Water Martial Arts Dojo, Zhao Xing.
He watched as martial artists around him comprehended the Star Skill and left, his heart filled with anxiety.
No matter what method he tried, he was unsuccessful.
He even suspected Lu Lin of targeting him.
Among those who had successfully comprehended the Star Skill, there were clearly those with far less aptitude and enlightenment than him.
After sending away the last martial artist who comprehended the Star Skill in the battle against King Yama, Zhao Xing’s surroundings changed, and he found himself in a room with the surrounding walls sealed and a single dim-yellow daylight lamp above.
In the room were two chairs and a table.
Zhao Xing didn’t know why he had come here, but he couldn’t help his heart from tightening.
Could it be... his secret had been discovered by Lu Lin?
As he was thinking, Lu Lin also appeared in the room. He smiled, looking at Zhao Xing.
"Master Zhao, it’s been a while."
"Hello, Lu Lin."
Zhao Xing smiled at Lu Lin, naturally pulled over a chair to sit, while Lu Lin sat in the other chair, looking at each other across the table.
"Why haven’t I comprehended the Star Skill and can’t exit your Star Power Domain?"
"I hope you can give me an explanation for this."
Zhao Xing said seriously, although uneasy inside, he believed there was no way Lu Lin could have discovered his issue.
At the moment, he pressed Lu Lin aggressively.
"Explanation?"
Lu Lin’s face showed a sneer, and he said, "I should give you an explanation? Or do you need Mr. Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu to come and give you an explanation."
"Master Zhao."
Zhao Xing’s expression stiffened, then turned to anger.
He slapped the table hard and questioned:
"Lu Lin, what do you mean by this."
"Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu are heroes of my Human Federation. They died in battle on the Exotic Battlefield for you, and yet you use them as a pretext."
"What are you trying to accuse me of?"
Zhao Xing’s voice was stern and fierce. Meanwhile, he was constantly thinking in his mind about how to escape Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
No!
It’s not as simple as escaping the Star Power Domain.
Since Lu Lin already suspects him, even if he exits the Star Power Domain, the senior-level people of the Federation and those who benefited from Lu Lin will surely investigate him.
At that time, no matter how well his secret is hidden, there’s a significant chance that some clues will be exposed, leading to suspicion.
He must find a way to shake off suspicion.
"Accuse you?"
Lu Lin sneered coldly, slamming the table as well, stood up, and shouted at Zhao Xing:
"When the heck did I accuse you."
"I can guide Level 9 Experts to Star Skills, helping everyone to be promoted to a Titled King, which is top secret within the Human Federation. No human experts who know about this would speak of it, but why, why did you tell the people of the Black Shark Society."
"Zhao Xing, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"Back then, Zhou Kun chose to end his life on the Exotic Battlefield under Black Shark’s coercion rather than agree to be an insider to reveal any intelligence about my race to the Alien Race."
"But you, you voluntarily sided with the Black Shark Society, becoming their lackey within the Human Federation."
"Your parents, your family, your children, are all Federation people, all living in the Federation. By doing this, what place are you putting them in?"
"Speak!"
Lu Lin’s face twisted in rage, the more he spoke, the angrier he became.
Back when he was first abducted to the Exotic Battlefield, Lu Lin and Zhang Xianzhi, and Bao Hu speculated that someone within the Human Federation had leaked Lu Lin’s abilities, which led the Alien Race to target Lu Lin with such determination.
They wanted to catch him.
To protect Lu Lin, Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu both died at the hands of the Alien Race. Zhang Xianzhi was fortunate enough to enter the Battlefield Secret Realm, but Bao Hu’s spirit and soul perished utterly, essentially disappearing from this world.
All of this was because of Zhao Xing here.
Thinking of Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu’s death at Mo Bai Mountain, Lu Lin grieved intensely.
His strength has increased now, but his two teachers can never come back to life.
This Zhao Xing, a Level 9 Expert of the Human Federation, still did such a thing.
Lu Lin could have used his power to slay him directly, but he was unwilling.
He felt he needed to find out the truth.
Why.
Why exactly.
Zhao Xing, a Level 9 Expert, had contributed to the Federation along the way, slaying countless strong Alien Race individuals, engaging in countless Nine Deaths, One Life missions.
But just like that, a battle-hardened strong person chose to betray the Human Race without any coercion and reported Lu Lin’s information to the Alien Race, directly resulting in the death of two human Titled King powerhouses.
"Oh?"
"It seems that even though you’ve been absent from the Human Federation for some time, you seem to know everything."
