The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

The dungeon of the Judgment Department.

Unlike the solemnity of the tower's surface, the dungeon area was incredibly dark, as if it contained the darkness of the entire Judgment Department.

In fact, the adjudication department was never a glorious and righteous department; it was comparable to the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Lu Yan's memory.

Those who are sent here by the adjudication department are all vicious criminals.

Even after being imprisoned in the dungeon by the Tribunal, they still didn't have a moment's peace, shouting day and night.

But today, they were unusually quiet, even somewhat frightened.

"Watch closely, if you want to deal with tough guys, you have to be tougher and more ruthless than them!"

Amidst the terrified gazes of countless prisoners, Russell patiently taught Lu Yan various interrogation techniques.

Lu Yan's eyes were also shining, absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

After most of the day had passed, the subtitles finally popped up on the panel.

[Promotion Requirement 1: Proficiency in ten interrogation techniques (10/10) - Completed]

As Russell himself said, the interrogation techniques he possessed were extremely brutal, yet they perfectly met the executioner's requirements for torture.

However, it still took him quite a bit of time to verify his skills.

As for the subjects of the verification, they are naturally these prisoners.

"I'll teach you this much for now. I'll teach you other things once you've fully mastered them."

Seeing that Lu Yan was somewhat eager to try, Russell stopped teaching and swept his cold gaze around.

"Now you can try to conduct the interrogation."

Russell solemnly reminded him, "These are some tough nuts to crack; they still refuse to confess. You'll have to put in some effort."

"Minister Luo, rest assured, I understand."

Lu Yan nodded slightly, then walked alone into a cell where believers of the evil god were imprisoned.

Russell stood outside the door, waiting quietly.

This is a process that every arbitrator must go through. Only by completing the trial on their own can they be qualified to be promoted to arbitrator!

"Kid, don't let us down!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the cell door, which had just been closed, was opened again.

"What's wrong? Can't you handle it?"

Russell asked with concern.

"No, the arbitration has already been completed."

Lu Yan shook the cross mark that had appeared on the back of his hand and said, "This should be correct, right?"

Russell was taken aback and grabbed Lu Yan's hand to confirm it again and again.

The arbitrator's promotion is very special. Once the arbitration is successful, the magic potion in his body will turn into this cross mark and appear on the back of his hand.

Once all conditions are met, these crosses will transform into the power of advancement, aiding in the transformation.

The appearance of a cross on Lu Yan's hand indicates that the arbitration was indeed successful.

But isn't this a bit too fast? These are all guys who haven't confessed.

"No, show me another arbitration case."

Russell was somewhat skeptical and immediately asked Lu Yan to demonstrate it to him.

Lu Yan remained noncommittal and led Russell into the next cell.

Then, amid Russell's bewildered gaze, Lu Yan quickly read out the other party's crimes.

Before the other party could refute, Lu Yan directly shattered the other party's heart with a punch.

At the same time, another cross appeared on the back of his hand.

"Arbitration...is that how it works?"

Russell, somewhat skeptical, dragged Lu Yan back to continue the arbitration, finding criminals who lacked evidence and were extremely stubborn.

Without exception, Lu Yan would announce the crimes and then proceed directly to the execution, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Russell didn't stop until Lu Yan had collected ten crosses on the back of his hand.

But Russell was still somewhat bewildered, and for the first time began to doubt the intelligence he had possessed for years.

Could he have been misled by his teacher?

Or perhaps even the teacher was fooled by the master?

"Um, Minister Luo, do we have any Sequence 7 criminals here?"

Lu Yan rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

As the saying goes, it's good to take shelter under a big tree; the first two conditions for the executioner were met so easily.

Based on the current trend, we might be able to fulfill the third condition as well!

Not only that, but even eavesdroppers might get promoted!

The eavesdropper captured the criminal's dying thoughts, felt a surge of pleasure, and accelerated the progress of the investigation.

[Eavesdroppers: 88%]

He truly hadn't expected that the last eavesdropper to awaken would now be the one closest to Sequence 7.

He was certain that if he executed another Sequence 7, the eavesdropper's progress would be complete!

"Sequence 7? That's more difficult."

Russell scratched his head and said, "Sequence 7 superhuman criminals are too dangerous and difficult to catch, so they are basically reserved by the Tribunal for superhumans who need to be promoted to Sequence 6 as soon as they are caught."

As he spoke, Russell seemed a little embarrassed and said:

"There used to be a sorcerer priest, the one you met last time, but he committed suicide a few days ago during my interrogation."

Lu Yan felt a little disappointed. It seemed that further promotions would require executing criminals, so the competition was fierce.

"It's alright, there are still some criminals roaming around in the shelter. I'll catch a few more for you later!"

Russell patted his chest in assurance, but just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me at this time!"

Russell was clearly annoyed and immediately launched into a tirade as soon as he answered the phone.

However, Russell's momentum immediately deflated after hearing the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Ahem! It's Old Yao... No, Lu Yan isn't here with me... Don't worry, I definitely didn't teach him anything weird. If you don't believe me, I'll have him tell you."

Under Lu Yan's speechless gaze, Russell handed the phone to Lu Yan.

No wonder Russell could only be a deputy minister; his intelligence is truly worrying.

"Teacher, it's me."

Upon hearing Lu Yan's voice, Yao Xiangyang's eyes twitched involuntarily.

I shouldn't have let Lu Yan go to Russell; I didn't want him to lead me astray.

"Hurry back and come with me to a banquet, a gathering organized by the Speaker."

"Speaker? I understand."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly realized that after being given a harsh lesson in the morning, a sweet treat was served up in the evening.

This speaker really likes to maintain a balance.

After saying goodbye to Russell, Lu Yan left in a hurry.

When he arrived, Yao Xiangyang was already waiting at the door.

"Let's go, we're going to be late."

Upon seeing Lu Yan arrive, Yao Xiangyang gestured for him to get into the car.

After the car had driven for a while, Yao Xiangyang suddenly released his aura, enveloping the two of them.

"Things have changed; the people from the Original Sanctuary have arrived ahead of schedule."

"So early?"

Lu Yan was taken aback. Wasn't it said that it would take at least three months to arrive?

It's only been a few days, and people from the Primordial side have already come?

"I don't know the specific reason either. The Speaker suddenly called a banquet not only to change my relationship with Mu Yun, but also to entertain them."

A hint of annoyance flashed in Yao Xiangyang's eyes. First, his plan against Mu Yun was interrupted, and now Yuan Chu's people had arrived ahead of schedule.

Lately, nothing seems to be going right!

Yao Xiangyang's aura suddenly turned cold, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Yan.

Upon seeing the large cross mark composed of ten small crosses on the back of Lu Yan's hand, his aura suddenly dissipated.

"Have you completed the arbitration?"

Lu Yan nodded slightly and said, "Condition three is still not completed. There are currently no Sequence 7 criminals in the Judgment Department's dungeon."

Yao Xiangyang remained silent upon hearing this, and his gaze toward Lu Yan became increasingly strange.

His original purpose in taking Lu Yan as his disciple was to provide Yao Qing with some assistance in the Original Sanctuary.

But now it seems he really has struck gold?
