Lin Chun’s state was clearly not good: "Brother Lu, there's something I don't know if I should say…"
"No worries, just say it," I replied with a smile.
"Every battle we experience here takes a considerable amount of time… I don't know what we'll encounter next, but if we continue like this…" Lin Chun paused, "By the time we leave here, I'm afraid…"
"It's alright… As long as we work hard enough, I believe there won't be any problems!" I interrupted him directly, knowing what he was about to say.
Indeed, in a place like this, combat was incredibly difficult. We needed to face death again and again, and then be reborn again and again.
The world now was vastly different from the one before. It was impossible to experience such life-or-death crises again.
However, for us, to truly understand the meaning of combat, fighting between life and death was inevitable.
Although I was acutely aware of the necessity of the current training, I was also worried about Luo Yaqin and the others. What was their situation now?
By the time we left here, the world would have already changed…
But under these circumstances, I couldn't afford to be distracted by so many thoughts.
Because I knew very well that this place was unknown to us, and in such a situation, despair could easily set in.
Once despair gripped the heart, there would be no chance at all.
Even though I was genuinely worried, I had to maintain my composure in this situation.
With this as a prerequisite, we would have the motivation to move forward.
"I believe in you, Brother Lu…" Lin Chun said with a smile.
Just then, I suddenly felt the world around me turn dark once more.
I quickly looked around. As before, everything that had been there was gone.
"Lin Chun!" I shouted, but there was no response.
The world was pitch black, as if nothing existed.
At that moment, a distant light suddenly appeared.
I looked towards the source of the light and saw a burly man standing there.
The man's upper body was bare, revealing his firm muscles, and his body was covered in all sorts of hideous scars.
It was evident that this man must have been through extremely brutal battles before.
He kept his eyes closed, his face devoid of any expression, yet standing there, he gave me the feeling of a lion poised to strike.
My body tensed instantly, but I still stepped towards the figure.
It was then that I realized the place I was in seemed to be a training ground.
"Hello, senior. My name is Lu Ziye…" I said, "Senior, I have a question to ask you…"
"Hello, my name is Chen Feiyu!" The man opened his eyes. His gaze was calm and deep, like a still pond.
At that moment, I suddenly felt that even if the sky were to fall, this man before me would not show the slightest flicker of emotion.
"Hello… I don't know why I'm here, but I want to know, how can I leave this place!" I said earnestly, my tone full of sincerity.
Chen Feiyu glanced at me, then flicked his hand. A staff appeared in his hand.
This staff looked like it was made from some special material.
As I was contemplating, the staff in Chen Feiyu's hand vibrated, producing a sonic boom in the air. The staff swung down fiercely towards my head.
Without the slightest hesitation, I retreated. The skills I learned from Zhou Ran were instantly put to use.
Having experienced so many deaths and been reborn so many times, these actions had become my instinctive reactions.
After dodging, I also understood that in this situation, there was almost no possibility of communication with the other party.
Here, we had only one choice: combat.
My short sword gripped in my hand, I directly charged at Chen Feiyu. The short sword clashed with the staff, and I could feel the terrifying power emanating from it.
However, this time I didn't directly counter. Instead, I twisted my wrist, deflecting the force, and simultaneously kicked towards Chen Feiyu's abdomen.
The opponent showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he lunged at my face with a punch.
In this situation, I had no room to dodge and could only use my Mu Shen power to defend myself as best as I could.
With a resounding roar, I was sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground.
Dust billowed, and I coughed violently before looking back at Chen Feiyu.
At that moment, Chen Feiyu had already charged at me, and with a terrifying explosion, flames erupted from his staff!
My hair stood on end. Without a moment's hesitation, the Mu Shen power within my body surged out. Instantly, my arm seemed to be filled with strength, and the feeling I had just before facing death returned!
