You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

Chapter 877 - 397: Class and Bloodline, Divine Right and Royal Authority

"Too slow."

Ye Qingzhou’s wooden sword halted in front of Dietrich’s throat: "Lanyi’s speed? A joke."

Sirius suddenly clasped his hands together, fully unleashing the Thunder Beak Bloodline!

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning cleaved down from the clear sky, yet was split in two by Ye Qingzhou’s sword before reaching him.

The spectators only then realized that the long sword in Ye Qingzhou’s hand had a wisp of Qi refined to the extreme covering its edge.

Refining Sword into Threads!

"Had enough fun?"

Ye Qingzhou’s wooden sword suddenly ignited with golden flames, the fierce firelight coiling around the sword’s edge, yet not burning the wooden sword even a bit, demonstrating Ye Qingzhou’s perfect control over his own Qi: "Now it’s my turn."

As his words fell, the sword light rose.

With the first sword strike, Ye Qingzhou shattered Sirius’s Body-Protecting Thunder Armor.

With the second sword strike, Ye Qingzhou sent Dietrich spinning three times in mid-air.

When the two landed clumsily, the wooden sword was right between Sirius’s brows—blood slowly dripped, and he dared not move, fearing a sword would pierce through his brain.

"Take your dog and scram."

In the infirmary, Sirius crushed a potion bottle.

"Sun Bloodline... How can it be so powerful?"

He looked at his trembling hands, "Such mastery of Swordsmanship, I’m afraid even Advanced Swordsmen might not have it..."

"We all got it wrong. We thought Kane Morning Star was the biggest rival of the Morning Star Family, but it turns out Laine is their real trump card."

Livia Flame Scale emerged slowly from the shadows, sparks underfoot, playing with a Dragon Scale Dagger, her tone playful: "He used Qi refined to the extreme to cleave your lightning."

Suddenly, a bell sounded from outside the window.

The two exchanged a glance—that was the Church Court’s summons.

At the Central Square of the Silver Radiance Royal Knight Academy, the crowd parted like a tide.

At that moment, three Judgement Knights clad in silver-white armor approached slowly, sunlight reflecting dazzling halos off their shoulder plates.

The burly giant at the front made the ground tremble slightly with each step.

The blond youth flickered Light Feathers from his fingertips, while the petite female knight had an indistinct smell of blood seeping through the gaps in her iron armor.

"It’s the ’Three Holy Riders of Light’ from the Holy Sun Church Court!" A student exclaimed.

"I’ve heard that Chief Judge Roland once wiped out an entire Blood Race lair by himself..."

"Is it true that Lady Celeste has real vampire fangs hanging from her belt?"

In the hushed whispers, Ye Qingzhou leaned against a stone pillar at the edge of the training ground, absentmindedly rubbing the hilt of his sword. The Blazing Flame Flying Dragon sensed its master’s mood, letting out an uneasy growl from afar.

Gareth Blaze Wing was the first to approach Ye Qingzhou. This Judgement Knight, famous for his handsome looks, removed his helmet, revealing a perfect face that could make noble ladies scream.

But Ye Qingzhou only noticed the frozen coldness in his blue eyes and the steely resolve.

"Laine Morning Star?"

Gareth’s voice was as melodious as a sacred hymn, yet as cold as the frost and snow of winter: "Do you have any additional clues regarding Kane Morning Star’s death?"

The training ground fell silent.

Everyone perked up their ears—they all knew Kane and Laine were at loggerheads.

Ye Qingzhou met those eyes directly: "I was meditating in the dormitory that night."

"Is that so."

The Light Feather from Gareth’s fingertips floated towards Ye Qingzhou’s heart, turning into blue smoke just before touching the black robe: "The Dawn Feather can detect lies, guess the result?"

The crowd gasped.

Ye Qingzhou didn’t even flinch: "Perhaps you should ask the Thief’s Guild? Hasn’t the Security Office—"

"Enough."

Gareth suddenly interrupted him, dismissing the Light Feather: "You may leave."

Celeste ghosted into Ye Qingzhou’s path. Her chain whip moved autonomously, the head of which bore a freshly carved name still bleeding—"Blood Vulture."

"Last night’s Divine Art divination showed..."

A mechanical voice emanated from beneath the iron armor: "Holy Scripture, Chapter Seven, Section Four."

All the top students in theology classes gasped—"False witnesses shall suffer the penalty of tongue removal."

Gareth placed a hand on his comrade’s shoulder: "No conclusive evidence."

"His heartbeat skipped half a beat when lying."

Celeste’s chain whip pointed at Ye Qingzhou’s left chest: "Holy Scripture, Chapter Nine, Section Twelve—’The bloodline of the wicked will reveal signs.’

Ye Qingzhou suddenly chuckled lightly: "Judge, the hair peeking out of the gaps in your armor... is it blood-stained white?"

Celeste stepped back abruptly, as if scalded, clutching her right arm armor tightly—indeed, a lock of white hair was exposed there.

From the shadows came the sound of metal scraping.

Chief Judge Roland pressed in like a mountain, the scar under his silver eyepatch hideously menacing.

"Enough."

His deep voice made everyone’s knees weaken, "Our mission is to track down Dracula."

The giant sword "Holy Judgment" suddenly stabbed between the two sides, the Holy Nails on its blade vibrating with a hum.

"Sun Bloodline is undetectable by Holy Light, it’s common knowledge."

Roland’s single eye scanned over Ye Qingzhou, "Moreover..."

He deliberately raised his voice so everyone could hear: "The Morning Star Family is the most loyal ally of the Imperial Family, the Church will not question the Divine Blood Nobles without reason."

Gareth cast a thoughtful glance at the Blazing Flame Flying Dragon—that beast was baring its teeth at Celeste, yet reflected in its draconic pupils were Gareth’s own sleeve, where faintly a black spot could be seen.

After the Judgement Knights left, Dietrich shivered in the crowd: "They clearly saw it! Why..."

"Idiot."

Sirius Lanyi grabbed his collar and growled, "Didn’t you hear? The Imperial Family! They’re wary of the power behind the Morning Star Family! Laine awakened the most noble Sun Bloodline, a genius like this, the Morning Star Family or the Imperial Family, will never allow anyone else to interfere!"

On the other side of the training ground, Ye Qingzhou caressed the Dragon Scale, his gaze following the backs of the departing Judgement Knights.
