Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Freedom at Last, Breaking the Shackles

“Ladies and gentlemen, it seems you have forgotten that you do not represent the entire Xia~”

The message Mr. Wan conveyed to the high-level officials only mentioned the fortunate return of the Dragon God’s power but omitted Lin Yi’s Harmonization Level Supreme Law.

Now, the young man stood in the center of the venue, radiating an overwhelming oppressive presence, with a piercing coldness emanating from his eyes.

“I clearly remember Xia advocating for harmonious development between humanity and nature, so how is it that the Dragon Race, which has brought peace for hundreds of years, is not deserving of its rightful rights?”

“To think I would hand over what Senior Ao Xuan condensed with a lifetime of essence blood, dream on!”

As calm as a mountain collapsing without a change in expression, the nineteen-year-old’s resoluteness left ordinary military high officials feeling suffocated.

“Lin Yi, do you realize the trouble your words and actions today will bring you in the future?”

“Indeed, Lin Yi, this is for the foundation of Xia’s future, not for anyone in the Military Department, why are you so troubled?”

“Lin Yi……”

Claims of serving the country and people only annoyed Lin Yi.

He didn’t bother bullying ordinary military officials. With an instant teleportation, he flashed in front of the first eighth-rank general who spoke, grabbed his collar, and slammed him heavily to the ground.

The moment he did this, all the meeting participants had their pupils quake, staring incredulously at the suddenly erupting youth.

“Ha, it’s finally quieter now,”

“Enough nonsense, stop it now. If there’s anything more, don’t force me to repeat myself. Xia may have someone who can restrain me, but it’s certainly not you group of fools!”

Lin Yi released the unconscious general’s collar, straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust, and turned to leave.

But there are always those who overestimate themselves, seeking humiliation.

Three high-ranking military officers, at the Ninth Transformation level, blocked Lin Yi’s path.

“Mr. Wan, is this the student you brought up?”

“He hasn’t even seen the battlefield yet and is already turning against his compatriots. If you can’t manage as a principal, then perhaps you shouldn’t be one?”

Who would have thought a joyful meeting atmosphere would turn so tense?

Lan Ruoxi and the other four deans hurried forward, intending to ease the atmosphere when Mr. Wan appeared.

“What’s this, do you have a great issue with me? Do you want me to give you a chance, a fight, to teach me how to do things?”

A white cat suddenly appeared, stepping through the air, radiating a powerful aura at each step that enveloped all present.

“Is there any error in what my student said? If Xia did not advocate for harmonious development with nature, why would I have joined your camp?”

“Don’t forget that among Xia’s War Gods, seven are not of human race. Is today’s content forcing a break with Xia?”

Ao Xuan’s dear friend had died, and Mr. Wan did not hope for her resurrection, but the smooth growth of her child, the revival of the Dragon Race, was crucial for him.

Ao Xuan’s child was not yet born, and Xia’s high officials already intended to shackle it?

This overwhelming act of bullying, if Mr. Wan kept silent, would be a betrayal of Ao Xuan’s trust.

Without hesitation, he revealed himself, clearly stating his position.

It’s over, it’s over!

Lan Ruoxi and the five others felt their heads were about to explode.

Lin Yi is youthful and reckless, liable to speak and act without foresight, but why is this esteemed principal also starting to get involved?

The old cat’s attitude shattered the plans of those military officials intending to use Mr. Wan to pressure Lin Yi.

Even decades ago, regarding the Dragon Race’s handling plan, the old cat, while opposed, hadn’t reacted excessively.

But now, barely after the plan was proposed, the old cat was already losing tempers?

This rhythm seems too fast, doesn’t it?

“Mr. Wan, I can pretend this incident never happened today. You are aware these people represent more than just the Military Department’s intentions. If Lin Yi can resolve this matter, I assure you, no one will pursue issues with you two or Shenxiao.”

“With my influence, I can secure you a general rank and lifetime access to the national treasury.”

“As for the harmony you mentioned, the higher-ups would enforce it to the best of their ability. The Dragon Race is unpredictable, as you well know. They could serve Xia but also other nations….”

He Zhenyuan spoke.

As a military administrator, the last thing he wanted was an irreconcilable conflict within Xia.

The only thing giving him some guilt was, as a military administrator, he still lacked the power to override all decisions.

The intention was good; that can’t be denied.

But he said the wrong thing!

If not for Xia’s prior betrayal and the Dragon Race’s plight, why would Ai Linlin, disheartened, defect to the Beautiful Country’s camp?

And now, he is shamelessly accusing the Dragon Race of disloyalty.

In a fury, Lin Yi threw a heavy punch towards He Zhenyuan’s face.

Being a War God himself, and a Supreme Law wielder, He Zhenyuan’s strength was temporarily beyond Lin Yi’s reach.

With aplomb, he neutralized Lin Yi’s offensive.

He Zhenyuan stared at Lin Yi meaningfully, shaking his head.

“You are not my opponent. Do not make decisions you’ll regret later.”

Lin Yi did not deny it but didn’t pull his restrained fist away.

Then, in the next second, a graceful silhouette appeared out of thin air, standing behind He Zhenyuan, holding a cyber gun blade aimed at the back of his head.

“War God Zhenyuan, as a fellow Destruction Law wielder, I wonder if I’m your match?”

The one who acted was none other than long-absent Xiyue.

The not-so-spacious meeting room bristled with tension.

Certain military bigwigs, feeling themselves above others, only now realized.

Attempting to force Lin Yi into submission through martial strength was not a wise move.

If the eight Xia War Gods behind him defect, Xia would be in peril.

The sunset reflected on the Shenxiao Ship Tail, adding a hint of warmth to the serene Shenxiao.

The two humans and the cat stood upon a massive rock in the mountain stream.

In their view was a steaming, misty, clear pool.

This was the very place where Lin Yi first met Ao Xuan.

“The Military Department has retreated, and Ao Shu’s freedom is secured, but your future….”

The old cat’s words carried a hint of helplessness.

Where there’s light, there will be darkness.

Even in a warm country like Xia, there’s inevitably some discomforting shadow.

Lin Yi suddenly smiled.

“Principal, I’ve always believed in one thing: as long as I’m strong enough, I can dictate my life.”

“Senior Ao Xuan saved my life; her child cannot become a stepping stone for my career. If I did that, I wouldn’t be myself~”

Looking at the youth standing in the sunset, a gratifying smile appeared on the old cat’s face.

“Ao Xuan, you see, you’ve won big. For your child’s freedom, this boy truly is willing to pay any price.”

“Your child has finally achieved freedom, breaking all shackles!”
