The face of Miran changed drastically when she saw that Shino crippled Rex . "What have you done?". She shouted with anger . 
 "So , I am suppose to sit here and wash my neck for him to kill ". Shino said with mockery . 
"You .... ". Miran was speechless when she heard the retort of Shino . She knew that he was right because he acted out of self defense but she was afraid because she knew the consequences of what he did .
 Splurt !!! Rex vommitted blood because he was gravely injured by the rampaging spiritual energy inside his body . "Do you know the consequences of what you just did ?". Rex asked with a sinister expression . 
 Shino shrugged and released his hand from his throat . Bang!!! Rex weakly fell to the ground with a pale expression . "I just defended myself from someone that wants my life ". Shino said nonchalantly.  
 "Believe me , you won't be so calm when you see the consequences later ". Rex sneered . "You will surely pay for what you did ". Intense hatred clouded the eyes of Rex . 
 Although his meridians can be reformed again and he can restart his cultivation again . The injuries sustainable by the abolition of his cultivation will be hard to heal and will likely affect his future breakthroughs . 
 "Shino , his father is the first battle king of the battle god palace ". Miran said with worry . "You might not know this but the academy us far weaker than a god palace even though it seems to be on par with it on the surface ". Miran further elaborated . 
 "If the academy can not differentiate between right or wrong then I don't see the reason for it's existence ". Shino said calmly . 
 "Hahahaha , are you hoping that the academy will defend you ". Rex laughed manically with a distorted expression on his face . "They can't even defend themselves so how can they defend someone with no background ". 
 Shino ignored him and said "Miran , I know that you are worried about me . You don't need to be , okay . Can they harm me now that I passed the test of the martial lord ". Shino said with confidence . 
 "The martial lord is in seclusion so we don't really know if they will really let you off after all they might put a false accusation on you ". Miran said worriedly . 
 Shino shook his head and said "Let's just wait and see the outcome .". 
 "Don't worry , if it comes to worse , I will just inform my master ". Miran said with a firm gaze . 
 The expression of Rex changed slightly when he heard the statement . The Desolate martial god was the first and strongest martial god in the entire martial palace. If she involves her master then Shino will be able to get away without any serious punishment but on a second thought , he shook his head . 
 "How can a noble martial god interfer in the affairs of a commoner ". A confident expression resurfaced on his face again .  
 Boooom!! the whole realm started shaking intensely which signified that their time was up. "Stay close to me ". Miran grabbed the hand of Shino as they were teleported outside the hidden realm . She was not taking any chances at all because compared to Shino , she knew how serious the situation was . 
 "I hope that I will be ranked this time " 
 "Sigh ! , it is a pity that I failed the test of the martial lord " . 
 "Raven , You don't need to worry too much about it because even the people on the ranking failed too ". 
 "I wonder who will take first in the ranking this time ? ". 
 Many people were dejected , Happy and sad about their various performance . Some hoped to get on the rankings while some were sad that they failed to pass the test of the martial lord . While some group of people who have failed to pass the first round for several times were chatting away with their friends with no sign of sadness on their faces . 
 How can they fight and compete with those monstrous talents ? . 
 No! , let's just resign to our fate and be happy with it . 
 The instructor in charge of the entrance coordinated everyone as they walked towards the auditorium . Whoosh!! the expression of the instructor changed drastically as he appeared beside Rex immediately . His divine sense envolped him and he discovered that his cultivation was crippled . 
 "Who is responsible for this ?".He asked sternly . 
 "Shino ". Rex answered coldly . 
 The face of the instructor changed as he muttered "How could this be ?". 
 In his impression , Shino was a calm , gentle boy that was hardly noticed by anyone except when he got ranked and became famous . He did not expect the boy to act so viciously against a fellow classmate . 
 "Come with me ". The instructor grabbed Rex and vanished towards the place the vice masters and the teachers was sitted and chatting . 
 Shino came out of the hidden realm and walked towards the auditorium to submit his cores with Miran who had a worried expression beside him . 
 The instructor appeared before one of the vice masters and bowed. He then proceeded to whisper something to him . Boooom!!! the aura of the vice master surged as he roared out with anger. "Capture that evil child !" . 
 The commotion alerted the other vice masters and the teachers present as they looked over . 
 "Walter , what is getting your blood pressure high?". one of the vice master chuckled and asked . 
 "Rex's cultivation was crippled ". He answered . 
 The eyes of everyone opened widely as they swept their divine senses on the body of Rex before withdrawing it with a grim expression . 
 "Who dared to do such a thing ?". A Vice master asked with anger in his voice . 
 "It's Shino ". Walter said grimly . 
 The whole environment became quiet before a chubby short man that had a small moustache said with a frown on his face . "I think we should investigate this matter first before coming to a conclusion ". 
 Many teachers nodded in support because this matter looked tricky and must be tackled with care . They all liked the personality of Shino and they found it strange that he acted in such a way . 
 "Investigate what again ! ". Walter shouted with anger . "For acting so cruelly and with disregard to the academy rules , he must be severly punished ". 
 "Walter , I understand that you are on good terms with the battle king but don't bring in personal relationship into the academy affairs ". The chubby vice master said with a serious expression . 
 "Giles , what relationship ! , I am just stating the obvious fact ". Walter said coldly . "What are you still doing there , go get that boy ! ". He ordered the instructor who left there in a hurry . 
 Giles looked at the remaining vice masters who all shook their heads and looked away . This matter involved the battle king so it was better to stay aloof of it . 
 Normally , after the competition . An instructor will be at the auditorium to collect their beast cores bit now no instructors were seen . The children were confused as they all say down at various places and waited for the instructor .  
 Whooosh!!! the figure of the instructor appeared in front of Shino and said "Come with me ". He ordered . 
 "I am going too ". Miran chipped in . 
 The instructor hesited for a moment but when he saw the threatening expression on her face , he sighed and took them both away . 
 "Instructor , are you.... ". a little boy called out when he saw the instructor appear and disappear abruptly . He scratched his head in confusion while looking at his companions . "I think I saw the instructor now ". He said . 
 "You must be daydreaming again , Carl". His friends shook their heads and ignored him . Carl shrugged his shoulders and started discussing with his friends again . 
 The figure of Shino and Miran appeared at the place where the vice masters and the teachers were. Shino maintained a calm composure as he looked at Everyone . "Greetings , teachers and vice masters ". He bowed.  
 "Little bastard ! , how can you be so vicious towards your own classmate ". Walter shouted as he grabbed at Shino . Whoosh!!! the figure of Giles flashed and blocked the front of Shino . "Walter , you must hear from both sides before you act ". 
 "Humph ! ". Walter snorted and withdrew his hand reclutantly . 
 Miran immediately stepped forward and held the hand of Shino . "Rex , tell me the reason why Shino attacked you why Shino crippled your cultivation ?". Giles asked with a Stern expression . 
 "We were just having a friendly spar before he attacked me sneakily ". Rex clenched his fists and said with Intense hatred . 
 "Giles , what more evidence do you want ! . Allow me to enforce the academy rules ". Walter said coldly . 
 "Let's hear from the both sides first ". He looked at Shino and asked gently . "What happened ?". 
 "He sneak attacked me with the intention to kill ". Shino said calmly . The whole environment was silent as the matter continued to get complicated . 
 "It's true , I was there ". Miran supported Shino . 
 Who was Miran ? 
 She was the disciple of the Desolate martial god and someone the Martial lord favoured . Her status was extremely noble so was the weight of her words . 
 Rex silently crushed a Jade when he saw the hesitant expression on the face of Walter . "Well .... how can we be sure that it is the truth ". Walter muttered incoherently.  
 "Are you doubting my words ?". Miran asked coldly . 
 "Noo , it's just that you might be supporting him because he is your friend " Walter said . 
 "No matter what happens , he must be punished because he broke the academy rules ". a Vice master who had been silent all this while spoke . 
 "Let me see how you are going to touch him in my presence ". Miran said coldly . 
 The vice master found themselves in a complicated sisituation they did not know what to do again . Boooom!! a terrifying aura covered the whole sky , announcing the arrival of a terrifying being .
