Sheep!

"No way."

Wei Hu muttered to himself.

The scene unfolding before him was truly hard to comprehend.

Lu Ran was, after all, a Mist Realm Believer. He should have been defeated quickly.

But the reality was...

Lu Ran was still showing off!

This Beguiler-like figure truly matched this hellish landscape!

Such agility and footwork, along with the visible natural reactions of his body, all indicated that Lu Ran must have practiced martial arts since childhood, possessing an extremely solid foundation.

"Da Long!" Deng Yuxiang's eyes were excited as she stared intently at Lu Ran, who was dodging and weaving, "Increase the intensity a bit more."

Deng Yuxiang, in her early twenties, was actually addressing her teammate, who was twenty-eight or twenty-nine, like this.

And Wei Long actually followed his colleague's suggestion!

Lu Ran almost stomped his foot and cursed.

Of course, in this bloody purgatory, he wouldn't dare to stomp his foot carelessly.

A single misstep could lead to eternal damnation.

"Spicy Dragon Bro, give me a way out, baa~"

Finally, everyone witnessed Lu Ran casting his second Divine Technique.

However, it was useless.

How could a mere Mist Grade Divine Technique affect a River Realm Believer?

Let alone the Voice of Compassion, even the Sound of Lamentation, if Lu Ran were to cast it now, it would have no effect.

After all, Wei Long didn't intend to kill Lu Ran.

It was only when Wei Long was having a craving for nicotine that Lu Ran handing him a lighter would be useful.

Deng Yuxiang: "Don't give him a way out!"

Lu Ran was numb.

I take back what I said earlier, your hair isn't fragrant at all.

Not. At. All.

"Clank, clank."

The sound of chains colliding suddenly echoed.

Lu Ran's heart leaped, and he desperately sensed the surrounding energy fluctuations.

Divine Technique Blood Chain Barrier!

The blood-red chains, which had been hanging in the air haphazardly, suddenly connected to each other, intertwining and weaving.

In the blink of an eye, a large net woven from blood-red chains took shape!

The blood chain net rapidly formed into a sphere and continuously contracted, compressing Lu Ran's space to survive.

Although the blood chain net had holes, their size was not enough for Lu Ran to escape.

If this continued, even if Lu Ran wasn't bound by the blood chains, he would eventually be crushed to death.

"Ssssh--"

Lu Ran finally seized an opportunity and slashed fiercely with his knife, but couldn't shake the large net in the slightest!

He quickly dodged again, but there wasn't much room left to survive.

Suddenly, Lu Ran retreated sharply and swung his knife at the blood chain net again.

Even though Lu Ran's back was to Wei Long, Wei Long showed no signs of slacking.

Wei Long reacted with incredible speed, quickly raising his hand to cover his face.

Meanwhile, the wooden knife in Lu Ran's hand pierced into a hole in the chain net. He suddenly let go of the handle, switched to a palm strike, and pushed outwards forcefully!

"Ding~"

The wooden knife flew out, its tip piercing Wei Long's arm that was covering his face. It was repelled by the Blood Sha-infused sleeve.

"That's enough!" Sun Zhengfang shouted loudly, his heart filled with pleasant surprise.

Deng Yuxiang immediately strode forward with her long legs.

The sky full of blood chains shattered abruptly, and the blood mist on the ground gradually disappeared.

"I didn't realize," Deng Yuxiang said, placing a hand on Lu Ran's head and ruffling it fiercely, "You've got some grit, huh?"

Lu Ran: "..."

"What, you're not happy about losing?" Seeing Lu Ran's solemn expression, Deng Yuxiang looked strange, "You actually thought you could win?"

"No, no," Lu Ran tidied his ruffled short hair, "I just couldn't figure out how to escape."

The recent encounter was truly desperate.

No way to heaven, no door to earth.

And the Immortal Sheep Sect's techniques are not known for their output, making it difficult to break through the shackles with brute force.

So, I had to take a different approach.

When I was in the River Realm, Lu Ran learned a BUG-level divine technique—Sheep!

Yes, the name of this technique is just one word: Sheep!

At that time, Lu Ran could turn enemies into little lambs for a short period.

You dare call me a lambkin?

Fine.

Now, you are one too!

With the help of such a divine technique, could he break through the net set by the Prison Devil Believers?

Hmm. It's probably still difficult.

After all, Wei Long's divine technique, Blood Sea Chaos, is still active. How could he let Lu Ran cast spells smoothly?

Moreover, the cost of Lu Ran casting the BUG-level spell "Sheep" is also extremely high!

Why is such a powerful divine technique rarely used by Celestial Goat Believers?

Why don't people flock to it and scramble to become Celestial Goat Believers?

Behind it, there are naturally cold and realistic reasons.

Of course, that's all for later.

"Prison Devil, Prison Devil," Lu Ran mused silently.

These two words are truly fitting!

They really trapped this devil like me.

But my Immortal Sheep Lord has created an Evil Sculpture Garden for me!

In the future, with thousands of evil techniques at my disposal, can't I deal with a mere Prison Devil like you?

"The position of Believer isn't about fighting alone," Deng Yuxiang said, offering comfort for once. "This was just a sparring session.

When you fight against evil, you'll have teammates to help, as well as various comrades, each fulfilling their own role."

"Mm," Lu Ran nodded.

"You performed well enough," Sun Zhengfang walked over. "Your Big Bro Wei was stunned, haha!"

At the fence, Wei Hu cooperatively gave a thumbs-up: "Not bad!"

The two simple words were very much in line with Wei Hu's cool demeanor.

But in his heart, Wei Hu was secretly thinking: What the heck is this thing?

Are all young people this fierce now?

"Luck, pure luck," Lu Ran said repeatedly, looking at Wei Long. "Thank you for holding back."

Wei Long shook his head, not responding.

Holding back was inevitable, but the intensity of the battle increased step by step; he didn't go easy.

"On the Night of the Fifteenth, our work will be even easier to carry out," Sun Zhengfang patted Lu Ran's shoulder.

This spar had given Sun Zhengfang a sense of reassurance.

"Is this sparring session part of the assessment?" Lu Ran seized the opportunity and asked, "Will there be bonus points?"

"We can consider it," Sun Zhengfang nodded with a smile.

Consider it?

Lu Ran's mind raced. Taking advantage of Captain Sun's good mood, he immediately said, "Will the Gods and People Bureau give me a reward for this additional test?

Uncle Sun, before summer vacation, I obtained a Banjushi Saber from school. I only completed the mission yesterday, and it was successfully updated.

Can the Gods and People Bureau upgrade my saber one more level?"

Sun Zhengfang's smile froze.

What was he even talking about?

How did it suddenly turn to the saber when he wasn't paying attention?

"Grumble~"

Lu Ran's stomach growled, most inappropriately.

"Take him to eat first," Sun Zhengfang immediately said to Deng Yuxiang.

"Yes," Deng Yuxiang put her arm around Lu Ran's shoulder and strode towards the terrace railing.

"My saber..." Lu Ran's words trailed off as they were already close to the edge of the terrace.

His heart leaped in shock: "Sis! Sis, you want to... don't! Ahhhhhhh!"

On the terrace, a man and a woman plummeted straight down.

Lu Ran's face was deathly pale, enduring the intense feeling of weightlessness, the roaring wind whistling past his ears, his heart about to leap out of his chest!

"Whoosh~~"

As the two neared the ground, Deng Yuxiang's feet seemed to catch the wind, and their falling speed drastically reduced.

Lu Ran held Deng Yuxiang tightly, not with the feeling of embracing a soft, warm beauty, but more like a sloth.

On the terrace, Sun Zhengfang picked up the wooden knife from the ground: "What do you guys think of this new teammate?"

Wei Long: "Very calm, not stage-frightened, and his fundamentals are very good."

Wei Hu nodded in agreement.

"We haven't had a chance to see the kid's true abilities yet," Sun Zhengfang weighed the wooden knife. "His understanding of the divine technique, Voice of Compassion, is quite unique. Other Celestial Goat Believers beg all beings for pity from a position of weakness. Lu Ran, however, can make his targets feel the urge to kill, to harm."

Sun Zhengfang paused, then continued: "During this Night of the Fifteenth, you two brothers will stay by his side. With Lu Ran's unique skill, we might be able to slay demons and monsters with half the effort!"

"Yes!"

"Yes, Captain Sun!" On the terrace, the Wei brothers responded loudly.

And below the residential building, Deng Yuxiang was looking at Lu Ran with great interest:

"How long are you going to hold me?"

Lu Ran took a trembling step back, still shaken.

Seeing Deng Yuxiang's mischievous smile, he immediately became angry: "That was the seventh floor! The seventh floor!"

Deng Yuxiang said indifferently: "You were so brave just now, what's a bungee jump?"

Lu Ran's expression turned serious: "Even though you're my brother's sister, I'll really call the police!"

Deng Yuxiang somewhat disdainfully reached out and flicked her shoulder, as if dusting off her clothes:

"Didn't you already hold me?"

Lu Ran: ???

I said call the police, not hold the police!

"Alright, alright, go ahead and call. I'm listening," Deng Yuxiang's lips curved upwards as she looked at Lu Ran's indignant expression. "Who stands before this official to lodge a complaint?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Deng Yuxiang: "Hahahaha~"

Her laughter was so unrestrained that it made Lu Ran want to stab her!

Huh?

Where's my knife?

Lu Ran looked around, then looked up at the terrace. It must have fallen up there.

Forget it, I'll spare your life today.

I'll say it again: thirty years from now, don't regret it!

"If you're not going to report me, shall I take you to breakfast first?"

"Hmm, that works too."
