A gentle breeze blew through the classroom curtains.

The noon sun was a bit scorching.

It had only been two or three hours since the audit began... This audit, which was originally expected to take at least ten to fifteen hours, or even a whole day, had come to a complete end.

In every sense of the word, it was over.

The three nightmare-level seals had each completed their respective dream interpretations.

This was the final result that even the five auditors did not expect... Completing the dream interpretations of three nightmare-level seals in one breath, this was a task that a newcomer could not possibly accomplish.

Not only did Gu Shen complete it, he also broke three records.

It was difficult to describe the dream interpretation talent of this young man in words... Even the praise of being one in a million seemed somewhat pale, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it was unheard of.

The Grand Judge looked at the ghost cage placed in front of him with great distress. The old lantern's oil paper skin had cracked open, and the ever-burning spiritual flame had suffered heavy damage, barely flickering, with only a glimmer of hope remaining.

His expression was indescribably complex.

The seal that had accompanied him for more than ten years had been destroyed by a newcomer in the dream... This young man was truly worthy of being an "S-level" with transcendent power far surpassing that of his peers.

"The audit is over."

Tang Qingquan sighed lightly. A hint of confusion appeared on his face as cold as a snowy mountain. He said seriously, "I have one last question... Gu Shen, what is your transcendent ability?"

Gu Shen opened his mouth.

He recalled the scene inside the ghost cage and fell into contemplation.

Chu Ling's words came to mind.

["Gu Shen, aren't you curious about what your transcendent ability is?"]

["Soon, you will see."]

In the dream of the ghost cage, he had the powerful ability to tear apart the world with a wave of his hand... Was that his transcendent ability?

Or was it just a dream?

"It... Light..."

Gu Shen's voice also sounded a bit confused. He whispered, "This power is very strong and requires a great price to use. But in the 'ghost cage,' I felt its existence."

The Grand Judge sat upright, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Light?"

It sounded like a transcendent power of the natural element... This was obviously a highly ranked ability.

"No... It's not light..."

Gu Shen recalled the scene in the dream, murmuring, "In the ghost cage, I saw the entire dream being swallowed by evil thoughts, the order had collapsed. But after I used 'it,' the darkness was torn apart. Instead of saying that the power was 'light,' it would be more accurate to say that the power created 'light.'"

All the auditors subconsciously looked at each other. They saw confusion on the faces of their colleagues.

"According to Gu Shen's description, this transcendent power is not recorded in the known spectrum of transcendent abilities." Lin Beizhu pondered for a while and slowly said, "Obviously, this is a completely new transcendent power... Based on the description just now, it should possess the characteristics of both the natural and spiritual elements, and most likely incorporates the traits of 'tearing' and 'radiance.'"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen was stunned.

Tearing and radiance.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

It was quite a coincidence... His power in the dream happened to match the scene report of the fire case.

He didn't explain anything, just silently clenched his fist, feeling the residual artistic conception in the dream.

"Can I try it?" Tang Qingquan said solemnly, "We want to see it."

Gu Shen looked embarrassed. He really wanted to wave his hand like in the dream and tear the whole world apart... But reality didn't allow him to make such a cool move.

When he waved his hand, all he could tear was the wind.

"I can't master it proficiently at the moment." Gu Shen came up with a seamless excuse and said, "The fire case was because my life was threatened, so my potential erupted... In daily life, I can't freely use this power, but in special dreams, it seems that I can use 'it.'"

Because he did feel the existence of transcendent power in the ghost cage.

Gu Shen let out a long breath.

Even acting had become much more confident.

"Well... Overwhelming power often comes with a great price. It seems that this is a powerful weapon." The Grand Judge nodded, "It seems that you will need a long time to explore the use of transcendent power. No one can help you with this, only you can rely on yourself."

Gu Shen thought to himself that these big shots were really meticulous in their thinking. He didn't need to say anything... They had already summarized his transcendent power in great detail.

"Very well. Go wait next door. We still need to discuss some things." The Grand Judge spoke with some fatigue.

Gu Shen was escorted to the next room.

The members of the audit team exchanged glances.

Although Gu Shen's performance in the audit was perfect, they still had concerns in their eyes... The denunciation report had not yet been resolved, which was the biggest trouble.

"Ding Ling Ling."

At this moment, Tang Qingquan's phone rang.

The Grand Judge frowned.

He answered the call.

It was Han Dang's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello..."

Han Dang's voice was soft. "Judge Tang, it's about the denunciation report... I want to withdraw that report."

"..."

Tang Qingquan remained silent for a while. He chose to turn on the speakerphone and placed his phone on the table so that everyone in the audit team could hear Han Dang's voice.

The Grand Judge lightly tapped the file folder and calmly asked, "Han Dang, by 'withdraw,' do you mean to retrieve the document from the audit team and hand it over to the East Continents Council, or do you mean to completely withdraw it?"

"Completely withdraw."

Han Dang chuckled softly, with a hint of apology in his voice. "We made a mistake with this matter. I'm really sorry... If it's convenient, I hope you can... "

"You fool!"

The Grand Judge interrupted directly, angrily shouting, "Do you know how serious the accusations in this report are? You said you submitted it, so submit it. You said you want to withdraw it, so withdraw it! What do you think the Special Audit Team is?!"

There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone."Where's your evidence?" Tang Qingquan said coldly, "Didn't you say you had enough evidence to prove the report?"

Han Dang couldn't utter a word.

"You really went to great lengths to impeach Zhou JiRen, even resorting to all kinds of tricks."

The Chief Justice said expressionlessly, "You fabricated evidence out of thin air and almost got Gu Shen killed... I will report this to the council truthfully. You'd better inform Zhu Wang and let him prepare himself!"

With that, he hung up.

On the other end of the phone, Han Dang was pinned against the wall by a mass of black hair, like seaweed. The phone he had used for the call was suspended in mid-air.

Han Dang felt a lump in his throat.

After the call ended... the phone was pulled into Han Dang's pocket by the strands of hair.

He stared at Luo Er with resentment and anger in his eyes. The phone call just now, and the withdrawn case, were not his intention, but his voice had uncontrollably spoken out.

"Your gaze is interesting." Sister Luo sat in her chair and laughed, "Compared to the charges Gu Shen is facing... your troubles are nothing, at most some criticism from the council."

"This matter, ends here... It's a perfect conclusion, isn't it?"

Luo Er stood up and walked over to Han Dang. She said word by word, "Of course... to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we need to add something. If I remember correctly, it's a trick you like very much."

"Han Dang."

The moment Sister Luo's eyes met Han Dang's—

Her mental domain opened in an instant!

Han Dang's eyes became blank, and the voice in his mind seemed to possess boundless magic power.

"You came to Da Teng City to investigate the 'fire case'. After submitting the report... you found that your investigation was inaccurate, and you chose to withdraw the report voluntarily. You will feel guilty and sincerely repent for your actions."

Han Dang's consciousness struggled for a moment, then was submerged.

The last voice told him.

"After a good night's sleep, you will forget everything that happened here, return to the metropolitan area, and accept the council's punishment."
