Shi Wan was struck dumb as if by lightning.
His hair stood on end, his hand froze in mid-air, and he dared not lower it even a fraction.
At this moment, Lin Yi's aura and pressure were comparable to those of the gods, far beyond what a three-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar expert like him could resist.
Shi Wan was both surprised and frightened. How could a mere nobody have such terrifying pressure?
Little did they know, this was not Lin Yi's own aura of power, but rather the divine presence inherent in the Myriad Manifestations Robe!
A glint flashed in Li Jinwang's eyes as he instantly saw through the situation, but he didn't point it out and simply observed the situation.
After regaining his senses, Shi Wan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but dared not make a move again.
"He's a fraud! I have proof!"
Shi Wan turned to Li Jinwang, a jade slip appeared in his hand, and an image was projected into the air.
The scene in the video is none other than the Beast God Academy's iconic training ground.
Deng Shentong, who should have been dead at this moment, was actually fighting against others in the arena. His aura was calm and steady, and he did not look like he had been seriously injured at all.
The key point is that this is being broadcast live!
Shi Wan pointed at the video, looking at Lin Yi with a smug expression: "What do you say now? You liar! You didn't kill Deng Shentong at all, and you still dared to lie to your uncle and give you the baptism spot!"
Lin Yi and Xu Longyin exchanged a glance, their expressions unusual.
This guy actually came prepared?
King Li Jin frowned and looked at Lin Yi: "You really need to give me a plausible explanation for this matter."
The core reason he chose Lin Yi was that Lin Yi was able to kill Deng Shentong, a person of a higher level.
Without this, nothing else matters.
Lin Yi remained calm, showing no embarrassment at being exposed as a fraud.
His record is absolutely genuine.
"What is Deng Shentong's identity? He's a core student of the Beast God Academy, a trump card. Why would he casually show his face in public, and why would he specifically have someone film his duel?"
Lin Yi said calmly, "These core combat forces are never just decorative vases; they are meant to shoulder responsibilities in critical moments."
"Their secret techniques, moves, and even daily habits are kept strictly confidential and will never be easily revealed. Otherwise, if potential opponents find out their secrets, a single oversight could be a fatal flaw."
"Do you think the Beast God Academy would make such a basic mistake?"
Li Jinwang's expression shifted slightly, clearly persuaded, and his gaze towards the image held a hint of doubt.
Shi Wan became anxious and quickly said, "Stop making trouble here! This is irrefutable evidence! You're a liar, get out of here!"
Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "If you're really that confident, why don't you make a bet with me?"
"A bet?"
Shi Wan scoffed, "What are we betting on?"
"Let's bet on whether Deng Shentong is dead or not."
Lin Yi said firmly, "If he's not dead, I'll turn around and leave immediately, and never touch the baptism slot again. If he's dead, you should give up on competing for the slot completely and never bother him again."
Shi Wan curled his lip in disdain and said, "The baptism spot was originally mine. You think you're worthy to gamble with me? Get lost!"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and added fuel to the fire: "Then let's add another prize. Whoever loses will give the other a high-level divine equipment."
Is this really true?
Shi Wan's eyes lit up instantly.
Even with his family background, high-level divine equipment would be difficult for him to obtain easily.
He's a shoo-in for winning this bet; he'll get a high-level divine item for free, so why not?
He immediately made the decision: "Let's bet! I refuse to believe that a live, real person can be faked!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Then let's swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."
"Swear an oath then, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Wan immediately made a vow to Heaven.
Lin Yi also swore an oath, then looked at Li Jinwang: "I would like to trouble you, senior, to use your private channels to verify Deng Shentong's life or death."
Li Jinwang nodded.
A jade talisman materialized from his fingertip, and the power of his Dharma form was infused into it. The talisman then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky, clearly indicating that he had used his core connections to verify the information.
Next comes the waiting.
Lin Yi remained calm and showed no sign of unease as he picked up his fishing rod and began to fish.
Not long after, the fishing line suddenly tightened, and a large fish with a shimmering, spiritual light darted onto the hook.
"Pretentious show-off."
Shi Wan curled his lip in disdain.
In his eyes, Lin Yi should be trembling with fear at this moment, praying for a miracle. The more nonchalant he appeared on the surface, the more he was actually trembling inside.
Just as Lin Yi put away his fishing rod, a beam of light returned from the horizon.
Prince Li Jin caught the light and waved his hand.
A new image then appeared.
In the scene, Deng Shentong takes off his mask, revealing that it is not him, but a master from the Beast God Academy who has a similar build to him.
Shi Wan's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Why would the Beast God Academy do this?"
Prince Li Jin shook his head: "To save face."
"If news of Deng Shentong's death were to spread, it would be a severe blow to the reputation of the Beast God Academy. They can only pretend that nothing happened and find someone to impersonate Deng Shentong to save face."
He looked at Lin Yi with a meaningful look: "Even if you announce in public that you killed Deng Shentong now, the Beast God Academy will deny it to the death, which is actually a good thing for you."
Lin Yi nodded: "Indeed."
At the current pace, the Beast God Academy will retaliate against him fiercely. The next time they send people, it will probably be more than just a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert.
Even if he has the home advantage, he will still face immense pressure in dealing with the situation.
In contrast, the Beast God Academy is now choosing to deceive itself, and even if it's just to cover up the lie, it's unlikely they'll take any significant action against him in the short term.
Otherwise, you'd be contradicting yourself.
Lin Yi chuckled speechlessly: "It's truly unexpected that the prestigious Beast God Academy would do something so ridiculous."
He's not the only one who thinks this way; everyone thinks this way.
Given the prestige of the Beast God Academy, how could they possibly do something so low-level and stupid?
The reality is just that absurd.
Fortunately, he was certain that Deng Shentong's primordial spirit was dead and there was no possibility of him being revived; otherwise, even he himself would have doubted himself.
King Li Jin explained with a smile, "The Beast God Academy used to have a fairly normal style, but since the new Beast God took office, the Beast God Temple faction has become increasingly fanatical."
"In this atmosphere, including the Beast God Academy, they can only win and cannot afford to lose."
Xu Longyin couldn't help but say, "Is deceiving yourself considered winning?"
Li Jinwang said with a hint of amusement, "Pretending to win is also a form of winning."
"No! Something's definitely wrong!"
Shi Wan was still unconvinced.
Li Jinwang's eyes darkened: "The person who sent me the message is an old friend of mine, a high-ranking member of the Beast God Academy. The information is absolutely correct."
Shi Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly, but he still refused to admit defeat, pointing at Lin Yi and cursing, "This is a scam! It's all a scam! You and my uncle conspired together to avoid giving me the spot!"
To argue unreasonably.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Jinwang's eyes.
He could accept Shi Wan's lack of ability, but he could not accept this sore loser attitude.
