"It can be certain that the Mind Reading Technique being openly used in the trial must have gone through intense struggles behind the scenes. Too many people did not want to witness this scene.

"As for the reasons behind it, it's not convenient for me to write it out. Just understand it as the opposition from the vested interest groups; those who understand will naturally know the reasons.

"Personally, I believe this is the reason why the White Spirit Crow suddenly appeared at this trial because the Spirit Crow represents Mr. Spirit Crows.

"With this important figure personally suppressing the scene, no one would dare to try and mess around. Otherwise, Mr. Spirit Crows would not hesitate to kill."

Zhang Ruijie quickly read through the comments, sighing, "A bit of societal progress is truly not easy. Fortunately, Great Xia has Mr. Spirit Crows."

He looked at the TV again and noticed the camera was focusing directly on the White Crow.

Zhang Ruijie immediately understood, "It seems the media also gets it, knowing how much impact Mr. Spirit Crows has had."

Soon.

"Bang!"

The small gavel was struck once more.

The judge loudly announced, "Next, we have 'Distinguisher' Xu Zhenhai."

The so-called "Distinguisher" undoubtedly referred to a Superpower User skilled in the Mind Reading Technique.

A young man in a black uniform walked briskly to the back of the defendant.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Xu Zhenhai slowly extended a hand and pressed it firmly on the other's shoulder.

Gao Qiming struggled hard, attempting to shake off the hand on his shoulder.

But he did not succeed.

Xu Zhenhai gave Gao Qiming's shoulder a light squeeze, causing the latter to grunt in pain and dare not make any more small moves.

The judge promptly inquired, "Gao Qiming, did you use your authority to help Nuanyang Labor Company obtain the snow removal work on East River Street and thereby acquire fifty percent of the shares and a fee of six hundred thousand yuan?"

Gao Qiming hung his head low, resisting in silence.

Xu Zhenhai loudly reported, "Judge, based on the results of the Mind Reading Technique, this accusation is entirely true. Not only did Gao Qiming take a fee of six hundred thousand yuan, but his relatives also took an additional fee of one hundred thousand yuan."

The judge showed a surprised expression, "This is an additional clue. We will forward this information to the relevant departments, arrest the suspects, and recover the stolen money."

"Bang!"

He struck the gavel again, "According to relevant law, the testimony from the Mind Reading Technique can be accepted."

Gao Qiming hung his head even lower.

The courtroom erupted into uproar once more.

Everyone had witnessed firsthand the "terrifying" power of the Mind Reading Technique.

Zhang Ruijie looked at the television screen, suddenly understanding why so many people didn't want to see the Mind Reading Technique used in court.

Ten minutes later.

"Bang!"

Another sound was heard.

The judge read out the verdict aloud in court, "Gao Qiming abused his power, severely disrupting the disaster response order in Xijing City and seriously endangering the safety of all civilians in Xijing City. The death penalty is sentenced!"

Gao Qiming's body trembled violently.

If it weren't for the two court officers supporting him from either side, he would have certainly collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Zhang Ruijie smacked his lips again, "The first trial involving Superpower Users, I should count as having witnessed history."

The screen's frame timely focused on the White Crow.

This Spirit Crow remained motionless, watching the entire courtroom with cold eyes.

Zhang Ruijie instantly understood the meaning of the camera angle,

He couldn't help but sigh, "If it wasn't for Mr. Spirit Crows's pushing, someone like Secretary Gao would likely end up safe and sound in the end."

He picked up his phone again and browsed the forum, finding a post.

Some words in it left a deep impression on Zhang Ruijie, "Gao Qiming's death sentence is destined to be written into the legal history of Great Xia.

"This verdict will also sound the horn for a storm of social order rectification.

"For some people, this is a terrible thing, as it means there will be less room for their misconduct.

"But for the general populace, this is a great event worth remembering forever, as the safety of ordinary people's lives and property will be more secured.

"Moreover.

"Through this unprecedented trial, I can see a future for Great Xia filled with brilliance. I sincerely believe Great Xia will smoothly get through the crises of the future.

"Let us remember the White Spirit Crow, remember Mr. Spirit Crows,

"True strength is not just about being strong oneself, but also making society fairer and the nation stronger.

"The reason Great Xia can last for five thousand years, always playing an important role on the world stage, even quickly becoming strong again despite declines, is that we can always give birth to strong figures like Mr. Spirit Crows.

"As for me, I am lucky to be born in Great Xia, lucky to be born in this era, and lucky to witness the great achievements of Mr. Spirit Crows. It's my personal fortune!"

Zhang Ruijie read it carefully, unable to resist praising, "It's written so well!"

As a lurker who usually just reads and doesn't post, he rarely moved his finger to give the post a thumbs up.

He put down his phone and looked back at the TV screen.

The second batch of defendants was brought out by the court officers.

The reason it is called a "batch" is that this time it was no longer just one defendant, but as many as five.

Natural History Museum.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the grand trial in Xijing City is the most noteworthy event.

But in the eyes of the high-level officials, although the grand trial represents the progress of social governance, its significance is just that.

What happened at the Natural History Museum is the truly earth-shattering event.

The highest Commander of the Jiuzhou Legion, Wu Dingtian, along with a large number of strong Superpower Users from Great Xia, rushed over from various places overnight.

On one hand.

Just by holding a mammoth fossil, being able to bring back extinct life to the world, this is an extremely powerful Secret Technique.

Having the opportunity to observe it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, perhaps obtaining unimaginable inspiration.

On the other hand.

The mammoth has been extinct for thousands of years, witnessing the revival of prehistoric creatures is itself an event of significant meaning.

Not only Superpower Users, but many experts from other fields also came.

Although the exhibition hall showcasing the mammoth fossil is no less than two hundred square meters, there were still quite a lot of people gathered inside.

Those with slightly lower status and position didn't even have the qualification to enter.

At this moment.

Wu Dingtian stood in front of the display case, looking at the mammoth's fossil skull and a pair of long tusks through the thick glass.

He looked for a long time, muttering softly, "It's truly incredible."

A rough voice came over, "Old Wu, what's so incredible?"

Wu Dingtian knew immediately, it was the highest Commander of the Blood Banner Legion, also considered an old rival of his, Long Xingyun.

Since the establishment of the Blood Banner Legion, the two legions have developed some sense of competition openly and secretly.

As Commanders of their legions, their relationship naturally couldn't be too amicable.

Wu Dingtian didn't turn around, "Aren't you preparing for the exploration of the Sea of Death Black Sand in Shapudian? How come you're wandering over to Xijing City?"

Long Xingyun walked up beside him, laughing, "A few Superpower Users from several countries in the central-western part of the East Continent want to join Great Xia. I planned to go take a look. I just happened to hear about the revival of the mammoth, so I stopped by to take a peek."

Wu Dingtian burst out with a curse, "Damn! Your Blood Banner Legion's business has expanded to that side?"

His tone carried a little jealousy, "Old Dragon, if you are willing to make the trip, there must be quite a few Superpower Users this time, right?"

Long Xingyun laughed even more happily, "Not too many, just about three hundred!"

Upon hearing this number, Wu Dingtian's eyebrow twitched, his tone a bit regretful, "Had I known, the Jiuzhou Legion wouldn't have given up the overseas territory."

Long Xingyun sniggered, "Too late!"

He immediately changed the topic, "Thanks to Mr. Ghost's fearsome reputation, they're willing to join Great Xia."

Wu Dingtian glanced at his old rival, "You're surely planning to borrow Mr. Spirit Crows's prestige. Once the mammoth is revived, you'll use the video to recruit more foreign Superpower Users, right?"

Long Xingyun laughed so hard his teeth showed, "Old Wu, you're like a worm in my stomach."

This disgusting analogy, who knows if it's meant as a compliment or an insult.

Wu Dingtian spat, "Get lost!"
