Cruel Training (1)

"Hmph, you are indeed very strong. However, that doesn't mean you have no weaknesses," Fanxin said with a light snort.

Why has the other party been hiding here and not coming out? He says he wants to rule the world, but he can't do so from here, so he should go out. However, he's hiding inside the tower, which means he's being restricted in some way.

Once again, he is Devil Fruit user. Devil Fruit users also have weaknesses; they are afraid of seawater. If he can submerge the ninth floor, then the opponent is finished.

These are his weaknesses, and if he can exploit them, he can succeed.

"So what if you have weaknesses? Before me, you only have one path: death."

The Blood King snorted and said, "I'm not going to waste any more words with you. I'll ask you one last time: do you agree to be my representative? If you agree, then I won't beat you up. If you don't agree, then I'll let you experience what it's like to suffer."

"This gives me time to consider, because our goals are different," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

"Oh, you mean you're still willing to be my spokesperson, right?" Upon hearing this, the Blood King paused for a moment, looking at Fanxin with some surprise.

Just now, Fanxin had flatly refused, no matter what he said. However, at this moment, Fanxin hesitated, which surprised him.

However, he didn't think much of it, because he believed that his own strength was enough to suppress Fanxin, and that the mortals couldn't possibly pull off any tricks.

"Alright, I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't agree after ten minutes, don't blame me for being impolite," the Blood King said generously.

Fanxin nodded, then immediately retraced his steps and returned to Ren Fang and the others. The Blood King watched but did not stop him, as they were right under his nose.

"Fanxin, you don't really want to..." Ren Fang said with some worry as she saw Fanxin approaching. She had also heard what the Blood King had said earlier; the other party was definitely a super scoundrel, and if Fanxin followed him, she would also become a great demon.

"Hehe, don't worry, how could I possibly follow him? This is just a delaying tactic." Fanxin chuckled and said, "However, this guy is very strong, and it will be difficult for us to deal with him. But I've already thought of a way to deal with him, but I need your cooperation."

"Okay, tell me, what should we do?" Ren Fang asked.

"Xiaojin, spare a part of your body for me." Fanxin didn't speak immediately, but looked at the golden puppy on Ren Fang's shoulder and said.

Xiaojin seemed quite puzzled, but it still gave a portion of its body to Fanxin.

"You all leave the ninth floor immediately. I'll tell Xiaojin's other half what to do. Xiaojin will relay the message to you from there. Don't ask any more questions, understand?" Fanxin said.

"Will everything be alright?" Ren Fang asked.

"It'll be fine, don't worry. Okay, let's hurry up, that guy only gave me ten minutes, it'll be over soon," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang and the others nodded slightly, then slowly retreated towards the entrance.

Fanxin Xin immediately walked towards the Blood King, saying as Fanxin went, "I've convinced them to leave. I'm prepared to be your spokesperson."

"Hmph, you haven't been up to anything behind my back, have you!" The Blood King narrowed his eyes, looked at Fanxin, and shouted.

"Hehe, I'm the strongest in the team. I've already submitted. Even if they want to cause trouble, they can't do anything to you. Don't you think so?" Fanxin Xin smiled calmly and said.

"Hmm, that makes sense." Upon hearing this, the Blood King agreed and stopped doubting it.

However, what the Blood King didn't know was that while he was talking to Fanxin had already summoned her secondary soul—the secondary soul of the fox-like being. At that moment, it was explaining the battle plan to Xiaojin.

"How exactly do I do it?" Xiaojin asked.

"After you leave, first transform Wolf Valley into a small tower, then have Langyue send it to the sea in the Calm Belt. However, before placing it in the sea, Langyue must create a super-large space, using the giant air wolf to create it—make it as large as possible—to enclose the giant tower, but the tower entrance must be outside the giant air wolf. Only in this way can seawater freely enter the giant tower," said the secondary soul Little Fox.

"After that, have Langyue create giant water wolves to infiltrate the tower and guard the entrances to each floor. Once the first floor is flooded, have Langyue open the passage between the first and second floors. When the second floor is also flooded, have the giant water wolves open the passage between the second and third floors, and so on."

"Ah, I've got it. But what's the point of doing this?" Xiaojin asked.

"Ah, the opponent is a demon ability user. Demon ability users are afraid of seawater. As long as we fill the ninth floor with seawater, the opponent will only have one way out but death," Fanxin said. "However, you can't be too hasty. You must do it like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, keeping that bastard completely unaware. By the time he realizes it, our plan will have succeeded. Understand?"

"Ah, I understand." Xiaojin nodded.

"Okay, go ahead. Have Langyue do it. Once the eighth floor is also flooded with seawater, have Langyue bring more giant water wolves to the ninth floor to help me escape," the Little Fox said.

"Understood, I'll pass the message on now." Xiaojin nodded, then immediately closed its eyes and began transmitting the message.

There is a subtle connection between the different parts of Xiaojin's body; even when separated, they can still sense each other and know each other's thoughts. This is why Fanxin wanted to leave it behind.

Fanxin leaving it behind, the mortal could reveal the battle plan, which even the Blood King would be unable to detect.

A short while later, this part of Xiaojin's body told Fanxin that it had relayed the message that Langyue and the others were carrying out their battle plan.

Hearing the reply, Fanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are your plans next?" Fanxin asked after carefully looking around the room.

"I need a body to act as a soul. I can't do anything else; I can only stay here." The Blood King glanced at Fanxin and said, "Do you know why I kept you here?"

"You're not trying to take over my body, are you?" Fanxin asked, her heart tightening as she saw the Blood King's greedy eyes.

"Ah, yes, I do need your body. However, you are too weak right now, while my soul is too strong. If I were to force my way into your body, you would surely explode and die. Therefore, I plan to train you here, allowing you to gradually grow stronger until you meet my requirements." The Blood King nodded without any attempt to hide his feelings and said.
