"If you had just stormed into the scene, things wouldn't have turned out this way," Aries said calmly.
Xu Feng replied coldly, "Wouldn't it be too easy for them to die so quickly?"
"I want them to experience the pain my sister suffered before she died."
"I want the puppets to tear every last bit of flesh off their bodies."
Ram shrugged. "As you wished, your assessment task failed."
Xu Feng clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
Aries laughed upon seeing this, "Do you know what you look like right now?"
"A child who suffered endless bullying in kindergarten, yet was filled with helpless rage."
Xu Feng took a deep breath and knelt on one knee.
"Your Excellency, Aries, please give me another chance."
Aries clapped his hands with delight. "Very good, you've now learned to be patient, and you're finally not the reckless soldier you used to be."
This is your last chance.
"Once you pass the membership test, I will naturally give you the things."
Xu Feng stood up. "Thank you Ram."
Click--
As he stood up, Xu Feng suddenly noticed a very wide crack appear in the ground beneath his feet.
In an instant, a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed me.
Xu Feng was about to activate the Shadow Cloak, a vine grew out of a crack in the ground and bound him tightly in the blink of an eye.
"Depend on!"
Aries cursed under his breath and quickly got up.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
A whooshing sound rang in his ears as several vines shot towards him through the air.
Aries's energy surged outwards, shattering several attacking vines.
Immediately, like a diver, he did two somersaults in the air before landing steadily.
"Perfect score!"
Aries gracefully opens its arms.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to stand on the podium to receive an award.
Bang--
A four- or five-meter-tall purple carnivorous flower sprouted from the ground behind Aries.
The man-eating plant opened its massive maw with lightning speed and bit down on it.
Only the upper half of Aries remains outside.
slap slap slap--
Aries kept slapping the carnivorous plant's head with his right hand. "Ouch! Ouch! Go easy on me!"
The carnivorous plant gripped even tighter.
Seeing this, Aries obediently shut up.
His arms hung limply at his sides, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
What's going on?
Xu Feng frowned.
The vines were wrapped too tightly, preventing him from circulating his qi and blood.
Even worse, the vines are covered with sharp thorns.
The thorns were all embedded in his body, as if they had injected some kind of toxin.
Xu Feng felt a little dizzy.
He initially thought it was a trap set by Aries.
But then I thought, Aries's abilities far surpass my own, there's no need to go to such great lengths.
Moreover, Aries now also under pressure, and his situation isn't much better than his.
"Hey, it's been so long since we last met, and you treat me like this the first time we meet? Is that really okay?" Aries shouted into the empty hall.
In Xu Feng's perception.
There was no one else there besides him and Aries.
Suddenly, the fragrant scent of flowers filled the air, and Xu Feng felt somewhat intoxicated.
Tap tap tap--
As the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor rang out, Xu Feng saw a woman wearing a silver mask and a red dress walk into the hall.
The cool moonlight shone on her, making her appear extremely holy.
With each step the woman took, a small patch of light green grass and intoxicating flowers would sprout from the concrete ground beneath her feet.
"Hey, isn't this Aries?"
"Why do you have such a bad case after just a few days?"
The woman looked up at Aries, who was being held captive by a carnivorous plant, and couldn't help but tease him.
Aries asked helplessly, "When did you arrive in Sea Capital?"
The woman replied, "Whether I come to Sea Capital is none of your business."
Aries nodded. "Yes, you can go wherever you want, unlike me who's destined to be a busybody."
"So, can you put me down now?"
I'm afraid of heights.
"Stay here for now." The woman turned and walked towards Xu Feng.
Looking at the woman in front of him, every pore on Xu Feng's body trembled.
The woman exerted a far greater sense of pressure on him than Aries would.
Xu Feng desperately wanted to know what had happened in the outside world during the years he had been in the Abyss.
Advanced Martial Artist are as common as cabbages on the roadside.
The woman looked Xu Feng up and down.
"You can go die now."
The man suddenly felt the vines tightening around him rapidly; he was about to be strangled.
"You can't kill him!" Ram shouted.
The woman snapped her fingers, "Shut up."
The carnivorous plant stuffed a large clump of grass into Aries' mouth.
Aries: "Waaaaah..."
Xu Feng's face quickly turned as red as a pig's liver.
He couldn't understand why the woman wanted to kill him, even though they had only just met.
Whew~
Suddenly, scorching flames burst forth from the gaps in the vines, burning them to pieces.
A small flame emanated from a red ring on Xu Feng's right hand, from which the flames were released.
Because his blood and qi had not recovered, Xu Feng pushed off the ground with both feet to retreat while simultaneously firing his pistol wildly.
Bang bang bang bang--
However, the bullet was stopped by an invisible barrier in front of the woman.
With so many Martial Artifact on you, are you Doraemon?
The woman snapped her fingers again.
Another giant carnivorous flower burst from the ground and swallowed Xu Feng whole.
"You can't kill him." Aries stood on the beam again. "Although I don't know what grudge you have, he's currently undergoing induction testing, and you can't break the rules."
Aries raised his fists and poked at the ground. "If you don't stop, I'm going to make my move."
A moment of silence fell over the air.
The woman gently brushed her hand over, and the carnivorous plant vomited Xu Feng up with a "whoosh".
"I'll give you a few more days to live."
The woman walked outside.
"Senior, please tell me in what way I have offended you."
Xu Feng's clothes had dissolved, and his entire body was a bright red.
If it goes any later, it'll probably be completely digested by the giant carnivorous plant.
The woman scoffed, "Tonight I just don't like you and want to kill you, is there a problem with that?"
Xu Feng was speechless.
There's definitely no problem.
This is the power of the strong.
After the woman left, Xu Feng looked at Aries: "If I hadn't been able to break free of the vines just now, were you going to give up on me?"
Aries crosses his arms. "What else?"
"You haven't shown any value that I'd invest in, so it's not worth offending that crazy woman for you."
Xu Feng stood up. "Thank you for your help, Aries."
Aries said calmly, "If you don't pass the membership test, you can expect to become nourishment for that crazy woman's plant."
Qin Ze slept soundly in his dorm room.
He was woken up early the next morning by a phone call from Qin Yu.
Qin Ze, still grumpy from waking up, pressed the answer button.
"Spit it out."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Yu said, as if taking credit, " A-Ze, I got revenge for you!"
