OKSTS Chapter 72

**Chapter 72: Applying for a Hypnotist Investigation?**

Actually—

Wang Liang was a skilled practitioner himself.

He had survived countless forbidden zones, coming out successful and alive each time.

His four basic attributes were nearly all above 100 on average, granting him great strength and heightened senses.

Without these qualifications,

how else could he be a teacher at Martial God Academy?

Because of this,

even the soft whispers around him didn’t escape his keen hearing.

As he listened to the murmurs, Wang Liang felt his anger rise!

He also understood the gravity of the situation. If he didn’t take action, he’d be in serious trouble once he returned…

With this in mind, Wang Liang suddenly strode over to Fang Ye and questioned him loudly, “Fang Ye!! You’re called Fang Ye, right? Tell me—did you kill my students?”

Everyone was taken aback!

No one expected Wang Liang to make such an accusation.

Though the country strictly forbade life-and-death battles among students, who could enforce this in the forbidden zones?

Deaths in the forbidden zones were common!

At times, when students’ missions clashed, they wouldn’t hesitate to take each other out. This was hardly unheard of.

Everyone had long since turned a blind eye to it.

If you ended up dead, it was usually chalked up to your own lack of skill and bad luck.

No teacher had ever acted like Wang Liang—blaming students from another academy when something happened to his own.

Wang Liang’s behavior felt petty and downright shameless.

There was no dignity in his actions!

After a moment’s thought, everyone understood Wang Liang’s intentions.

He likely realized the trouble he’d face back home and was trying to shift the blame onto someone else.

A truly despicable tactic.

The sharper minds in the crowd looked at Wang Liang with disdain and contempt. “Wang Liang! Don’t spew baseless accusations!”

Before Fang Ye could respond, Yan Tai stepped forward, his voice cold, “You’re slandering my student. Prepare to face the Transcendent Court—I’ll make sure you get there!”

As Fang Ye’s teacher, Yan Tai had to defend him in this moment, or he’d lose face.

Plus, Yan Tai was naturally protective of his students.

He could be strict with them,

but he would never allow anyone to tarnish their reputation.

Wang Liang ignored Yan Tai’s threat.

Fine, let them take it to court!

Even if he lost, it would only mean a public apology.

Compared to his current predicament, that was a small price to pay.

Wang Liang locked his gaze on Fang Ye. “I heard you have a fire ability, and last time, you achieved the highest mission reward. Your strength is no small thing… it would have to be you with enough power to threaten my students!”

He was determined to pin the blame on Fang Ye.

“Sir, you can swallow crap if you like, but don’t go spouting it.”

Fang Ye replied coolly, “I don’t even remember what your students look like. What proof do you have that I killed them? And in Forbidden Zone 3, zombies were the biggest threat. The real killers were the zombies! Next time, think before you make wild accusations.”

“Are you really this clueless, or does your family just not know it?” he added.

Naturally—

Fang Ye would never admit to it.

No matter what, killing fellow students was forbidden by law.

Even if Zhao Fusheng and his team were in the wrong and Fang Ye was “forced to defend himself,” he still couldn’t admit to it.

In this world, being right didn’t necessarily mean being treated fairly.

In a world ruled by power, justice often had to give way to those in power.

If Fang Ye revealed what had really happened, he’d immediately find himself facing powerful adversaries.

In that case, even Martial Saint Academy might struggle to protect him.

Through Su Ziqiu, Fang Ye knew that among the students killed by Old Master Ren, three came from influential backgrounds.

For instance, Zhao Fusheng was a direct descendant of the Zhao family in the capital.

Just one Zhao family could bring endless trouble for Fang Ye!

If he had three more years to grow stronger, he wouldn’t be so concerned.

By then, he’d be unstoppable.

Even if he openly admitted it, there would be nothing anyone could do.

That’s the privilege of true power.

But for now, Fang Ye was no fool and would never admit to it.

“Pfft!!”

Fang Ye’s words made many people laugh.

Especially the line, “you can swallow crap but don’t go spouting it,” which had several people chuckling openly…

Meanwhile, Wang Liang’s face turned beet red with anger!

He scoffed, “Regardless, you’re a suspect… I’ll be applying for a hypnotist investigation!” With that, Wang Liang quickly left with his students in tow.

The others soon began to disperse as well.

Before they left, most teachers cast deep glances at Fang Ye and Su Ziqiu.

If Yan Tai hadn’t been so vigilant, those teachers would’ve wanted to poach them right on the spot…

With that, the commotion ended.

On the bus back.

The atmosphere was lively as many students chatted enthusiastically.

Quite a few students were satisfied with the results of this forbidden zone mission.

The yellow rating might be low,

but for most of Martial Saint Academy’s ordinary, non-gifted students, it was a success!

In previous forbidden zones, many had ended up with gray ratings.

Securing a yellow rating safely was something they were happy about.

Only Fang Ye sat there frowning.

Wang Liang’s final words left him uneasy.

Applying for a hypnotist investigation?

In a world where extraordinary abilities existed, Fang Ye was sure that the hypnotist Wang Liang mentioned wasn’t just some con artist like on Earth…

He was genuinely worried that this hypnotist might be powerful enough to make him spill the truth.

Even expose his secrets!

A few hours later.

The bus arrived at school.

As soon as they stepped off, Yan Tai called over Fang Ye and Su Ziqiu. “You two, come with me to the office.”

Fang Ye knew Yan Tai had something to say.

He exchanged a glance with Su Ziqiu, seeing the same look of determination in her eyes.

In fact—

Fang Ye had considered this possibility before returning and had already coordinated with Su Ziqiu.

Their story was simple: deny everything!

There was no need to be bold about something that could lead to trouble.
