In the courtroom confrontation phase, the difficulty was not gathering clues or investigating the case. The clues and evidence had long since been provided.
The true challenge was discerning the truth of the case in the shortest possible time.
The instance only gave each side ten minutes to defend themselves. Anyone lacking reasoning skills, Insight, or a flexible mind simply could not sort out the entire case within ten minutes.
If they could not figure it out, how could they defend themselves?
So when Yuanshi Tianzun casually overturned the evidence presented by Zhao Chenghuang, several contestants felt their hearts grow heavy.
This guy was not easy to deal with.
And when Yuanshi Tianzun found a way to overturn the second piece of evidence in less than a minute, the moods of the seven contestants could only be described as grim.
From escaping the locked room to arriving at the crime scene, only one or two minutes had passed. Had he discerned the full picture of the case in such a short time?
Was his guess that the killer had been hiding in the room at the time of the crime merely a flash of inspiration, or a confident judgment?
In the arena, at the elders' seats.
Elder Hongying smiled and said:
"The purpose of this stage designed by the Alliance Masters is to test the contestants' intelligence and adaptability, isn't it? In an instance, a flexible mind and strong adaptability are the two most important qualities after combat strength."
She turned to Elder Sun beside her.
"Has that child really already seen through the entire case? He isn't a Scout."
Elder Sun snorted. "He probably hasn't figured it out at all. He's just putting on a show. Even a Scout needs time to think. How could anyone be that fast?"
