Chapter 46 You Are a Sinner of the Dragon Country!

“Useless rage is one thing, but your insults lack any bite! With words like that, you wouldn’t even be able to protect your own parents in Zaun!”

“A complete iron waste, assessment complete!”

“I wanted to keep watching! Forget it, I’ll go patrol instead!”

“Me too, me too! If I keep watching, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to lift my weapon!”

“Yeah! Watching this makes me want to die.”

“No, seriously, how did he even become a major general?”

“If someone like him can be a major general, then Jiang Ling could probably be commander-in-chief by now.”

Ji Ling didn’t expect to be called out and gave an awkward smile, waving his hand.

Above the heavens, on the Void Arena, a wooden avatar of Takayoshi Oki spoke leisurely, “Major General Ji Yun, you’re already falling short? Your combat power is incredibly weak.”

“You’re making me sleepy…”

“Wah~” The wooden avatar yawned openly.

Ji Yun glared fiercely at the speaking avatar, gritting his teeth as he immediately commanded Thunderchild to strike the figure.

“Crash!”

As expected, the avatar dissolved into a splash of water. After the droplets settled, it reformed into the same smiling figure, looking at Ji Yun and mocking, “I say, Major General Ji, your combat power is poor, and your intelligence isn’t much better.”

“Even a fool could guess I wouldn’t reveal my true body to talk to you and expose my location, right?”

“Is this the level of you Dragon Nation people? Hahaha!”

“Looks like your Dragon Nation will soon be wiped out by our Great Sakura Nation!”

“When that time comes, our Great Sakura soldiers will once again set foot on your lands like they did over eighty years ago—killing your people, seizing your territory!”

“Ah, speaking of which, the human experiments done on your Dragon Nation people back then are running out of data. This time, we can replenish our database…”

Takayoshi Oki brazenly joked about those atrocious acts of the past, utterly disregarding the Dragon Nation’s honor. Such humiliation, paired with threats to relive the horrors of eighty years ago, ignited the fury of the Dragon Nation’s people instantly!

Within the Eastern War Zone, a group of soldiers roared almost madly. Some even raised their guns, wildly firing toward the Void Arena in a desperate attempt to vent their rage.

But the Void Arena of the Divine Battle is completely isolated from external influence. Bullets are useless; not even a deity from the ancestral realm could inflict damage with forbidden powers!

Only by sacrificing one of their own senses could someone hope to interfere with the arena—and even then, only a single attack is possible.

The price is too steep; no one is willing to pay it.

…

At the Divine Bureau headquarters,

The bureau chief slammed his fist into the table in fury just as the phone rang. A superior’s angry voice thundered through the receiver.

“Nangong Zhongjian! I think your time as bureau chief is almost up!”

“Is this the candidate you picked for the Divine Battle?!”

“As the bureau chief, overseeing a Divine Battle that concerns our Dragon Nation’s fate, you send a complete idiot to disgrace us?!”

“Now even those little devils are practically shitting on our necks! Did you hear what he said? I’m asking—did you hear it? Answer me!”

To make a usually composed superior curse so harshly shows just how furious he was.

Nangong Zhongjian knew he was guilty and dared not reply, only nodding repeatedly. “Sorry, sir! I’ve let you down. It’s entirely my fault—I failed to vet the candidate properly and trusted the Ji family too much.”

“I never expected this to be the outcome. I take full responsibility.”

“You take responsibility? What do you have to take responsibility with? Can you even bear it?!” The superior roared, “If those devils really roll back in, turning our Dragon Nation’s land into a bloodbath and ruin once more—tell me, what will you do then?!”

“After this, I will resign as bureau chief and accept whatever punishment the organization decides,” Nangong Zhongjian said in a low voice.

“Nangong Zhongjian! You are a traitor to our Dragon Nation!” The superior hung up in anger.

Nangong Zhongjian lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Ji Yun on the Void Arena, as if he wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces right then.

…

Inside the military broadcast hall,

The host sat awkwardly, fidgeting with the microphone, unsure what to say.

Ji Tianxing covered his face, too ashamed to even watch the barrage of comments.

At this moment, the screen was flooded with curses—no one defended Ji Yun. Harsh insults overwhelmed the chat, some even accusing Ji Yun of being a spy, claiming the entire Ji family was a walking scandal!

Public opinion had spiraled beyond Ji Tianxing’s control—whatever he said now would be meaningless.

Ji Tianxing never expected that the Divine Battle between Ji Yun and Takayoshi Oki would end like this.

Originally, the plan was to pin all blame on Ji Yun while transferring power to Ji Ling, thereby earning an extra billion in profits.

Now, that carefully crafted, seemingly flawless excuse was utterly useless.

Even if Ji Yun had remotely transferred power to Ji Ling, did he also transfer his brain?

Ji Yun’s performance in the Void Arena had thoroughly proven he was a complete fool—so much so that even the superiors used that very term.

Ji Tianxing had also received a call from above: Ji Yun’s rank of major general had been revoked, and he was expelled from the military. After the Divine Battle, Ji Tianxing himself would also face investigation!

The higher-ups were now suspicious of the origin of Ji Yun’s rank and his military achievements, ordering a thorough investigation.

Ji Tianxing knew the truth could no longer be concealed. Once exposed, disaster would engulf the entire Ji family.

Even if the higher-ups ignored the inhuman abuse Ji Tianxing inflicted on his eldest son Ji Ling, the fraud in military honors alone would be enough to destroy both Ji Tianxing and Ji Yun in a military tribunal.

Several other branches of the Ji family would be implicated, and the descendants would be disgraced.

The Ji family’s legacy, spanning thousands of years and hundreds of generations, was on the verge of ruin—crushed by Ji Tianxing’s own hands.
