Martial Research Master

72 THE HEARING

Long Tao came forward to the tribunal and presented himself. HE first gave the ritual salute to all just like Su Menqi did some time ago and then proceeded to the center of the stage. One of the tribunal members said, “You are allowed to continue”. All of them knew about the new vice-captain of the black-buck squad. The incident that occurred just after Long Tao reported for the first time was known to all. Around 11 lieutenants were crippled completely and the wing-commander Lin was seriously injured and nearly crippled in the incident. The compensation that was asked in return of their lives cost the lieutenants their whole life savings and as per the Wing-commander, the compensation was so high, that he would have gone bankrupt twice or thrice. Fortunately, the payment was transacted by his father, one of the generals, Lin Bao.

“I am the new vice-leader of the Black-buck squad. As you may already be knowing, it was I who forcefully undertook all the missions that the Black-buck squad has executed and managed to complete within the last two months. I would like to beg for pardon from any inconvenience I have caused for the rest of the teams.” Although it was illegal to do so, no what the superb result has been displayed ho could say anything about the act being wrong. The Black-bucks have managed to carry out some impossible number of missions within these two months. It was a commendable act. The ask for forgiveness just now was just a sarcastic appeal to appease the rage and shame of the upper echelon. The tribunal nodded and said that although the act was quite unfair to the other groups, the benefit the black-bucks have mange to bring for the camp was commendable.

“May I know what is the number of contribution points to these tasks?” The tribunal asked for the final report and soon enough the result was declared to the audience. Due to the completion of all 50 missions, the teams have been assigned a total of 200,000 contribution points, which would be added up with another 50,000 points from the military camp as a show of appreciation. So, the result stood at 250,000. Envy could be seen in the eyes of all the other soldiers of the camp. Long Tao agreed and thanked for the additional gift. “My lord, I would like to suggest a distribution pattern for the points that we gained, if you may allow.”

The tribunal agreed to hear the idea of Long Tao. A list was taken out, where the amount was listed against all the names. “I would like the leader to get 50,000 contribution points and the rest of the points will be divided within our members equally.”. The judges were shocked after reading the list, as there was no mention of Long Tao’s name in there. “Why are you excluding yourself?”. “I haven’t participated in any of these missions. It was all carried out by the members themselves. Also, I have my own points to care for. I wouldn’t be requiring the points of my team. I would like to have an accountant called along with the bounty list of our camp.”. Soon enough they arrived.

Long Tao, took out a set of 20 spatial rings and then poured out its content. From far it looked like a small hill, but only when one comes near the thing, do they realize what the mound was made up of. The whole audience, along with the tribunal, even Lin bao and the one who invited Long Tao, sat up straight by the display. Lin Hao’s body was soaked wet with sweat and almost lost the sensation of his legs. The whole audience gulped a breath of cold air. There was an enormous mound of heads falling out of the twenty storage rings. “I would like the accountant to see for the members who are mentioned in the bounty list and reward me accordingly. As per the rest, they are the soldier of the enemy and I suppose the military has a quota of contribution point to be handed when you kill an enemy of a certain cultivation base. Kindly give me the points likewise” Long Tao said with a smile.

Thunder god hall-

Li Meng was currently sitting within the practice room. He was concentrating on the Thunder claw first. The art was described in a general fashion, along with the Qi flow to be maintained and way to eject the thunder from the user’s body and form a claw-shaped aura around your hand. Once mastered, the thunder claw could help the user tear through metal like it was water, and the attack efficiency increased. Once long Tao got the form right and managed to execute the art in the proper way, a shadow showed itself within the room. This should be the inherent function of the Hall of Might’s training hall. The shadow self which could use the technique that the user wanted to practice. Long Tao proceeded towards the shadow and the showdown started. Long Tao ‘s body was pushed back, more like thrown, with blood flowing. He was defeated in an instant. He got up and moved towards the shadow again.

In another region of the thunder god hall, a magnificent palace was present. If one could visualize properly, they could see the hall to be the most magnificent building of the whole Thunder god hall. The building of course belonged to the sect master of the Thunder God hall. The Sect Master was said to be of a secular personality and avoid public apparencies. The only other person present was the disciple. It was a girl who had amazed the whole academy, just like Long Tao. Her talents were exceptional and were accepted as the disciple of the Sect Master. Her name was Ming Ruo.

Currently, Ming Ruo was in a meeting with someone else. It was none other than the man who had shouted and tried to snatch the key from Long Tao. “Elder sister, you have to get revenge for me. That guy was so gutsy, that he dared to cut all the limbs of my followers and the recipients didn’t even bother to come and help or get justice. You need to get the answer for my follower, otherwise who would associate themselves with me. He dared to touch your younger brother; you need to get revenge. Please.”. Ming Ruo asked her brother to calm down and explain the whole situation, after which she reminded him that it was his fault to try to snatch it first. She asked him to stay put and give her some time to finish training, after which she would take care of the matter.

.....

Ming Shen left, after which Ming Ruo came into the inner chambers, just to find her master sitting there in meditation. The figure was a beautiful woman who would have been a pinnacle beauty at her prime. Although the age has increased slightly, the natural beauty was still mesmerizing and lively as always. “what is the request of your useless sibling this time?”. “I apologize for the inconvenience caused. He was having a conflict with some new guy called Long Tao. He wanted me to take care of him and settle the shame he had brought upon his reputation.” Upon hearing the name, the lady opened her eyes and looked at Ming Ruo. “Isn’t it surprising. Enemies do often cross paths. The boy is the new disciple of your martial uncle, Bu Puti. You know what to do right.” Ming Ruo was shocked and then nodded.

Tamar-

The accountant finished the counting and erased lots of names from the bounty lists. The number of enemies killed by Long Tao alone was enormous. The corpse list didn’t seem to end. It was going on increasing. Finally, it was completed, and the report was submitted. Even the member who was responsible for reading out the data was shocked by the number of contribution points assigned. “Counting and taking into consideration all the factors, the total number of points that vice-leader Long Tao has managed to earn from the killing has summed up to be at 400,000. The military tribunal will be adding another 50,000 as a token of appreciation.” The audience was shocked. 400,000. Even squadron leaders like Lin Hao didn’t have that many points. Long Tao gained this within two months.

“I would also like to discuss a new event. I and my team would like to refrain from the next two months from taking any missions. I suppose given our contributions until now, I would be acceptable by the tribunal. The same event as of the last two months will be repeated. My Team requires some time for relaxation and recuperation.” The tribunal accepted the proposal and the verdict was passed. “didn’t vice-leader have some witness to be presented to the court.”. Long Tao looked at Lin Bao and his group first, who were tensed in the situation. Then he simply gave another smile and said” there is no witnesses as of now, but I will soon capture and present them in the tribunal.” The group relaxed and didn’t understand this move of Long Tao. But the tension for the current scenario was somewhat gone.
