Chapter Thirteen, Trials and Choices

  The next day, Ye Feng had just woken up when he saw a fat man with a flattering expression talking non-stop to the hospital director, while Lin Xiao sat not far away with an unchanged expression.

  The principal kept smiling all along, and in the end, the man left with a gloomy expression.

  "This castle owner is quite good at being a person, I haven't even looked for him yet and he's already come to me to apologize and offer compensation." As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch the spatial ring on her hand.

  "Alright, get up!" he shouted at Ye Feng and the others.

  Nine children got up in a daze, all confused and disoriented.

  Then, the principal turned to those five teachers and said, "Who among you is interested in taking the second test?"

  Lei Ao covered his face with his hands and remained motionless. Qian Lao's face was still gloomy, clearly still reeling from the shock of losing money yesterday.

  Tian Gu was silently hugging his sword, while the beautiful woman Ling Jie looked at him and just as she was about to move, she saw that Ling Feng had already stood up and said "I'll take care of it".

  She walked over and sat down, looking bored.

  The principal looked at Ling Feng, "Oh! You're here, this is your first time, do you know what aspect of the test will be?"

  Ling Feng nodded, then looked at these nine children, pulled out the long flute inserted in his waist, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and started playing as if no one was around.

  Ye Feng and others were puzzled, what kind of test is this? Listening to songs?

  Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and everything became blurry. When his vision recovered, he found himself transported to a strange space, an endless white space, filled with uncertainty.

  At this time, a soft and beautiful voice suddenly appeared, "Are you Ye Feng?"

  A sudden twist in front of him, Ling Feng, who was just playing the flute, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Feng. His expression was calm and collected, and the flute had already been reinserted into his waist.

  "Teacher, where am I? Where are the others?"

  Ling Feng smiled, a very beautiful smile. "It's not your turn to ask me questions now, and I won't answer you either. Listen, Ye Feng, let's play a game now."

  "What?"

  Lingfeng suddenly disappeared, and in the position where Lingfeng disappeared, a pitch-black human figure suddenly appeared. It had hands, feet, head, and body, but apart from these, it seemed to have nothing else, not even eyes, nose, or mouth. Lingfeng's voice suddenly came, "This shadow is formed according to your physical quality and elemental energy. It has the same speed, strength, and energy as you! And you are responsible for defeating him, dispersing him. Every time you disperse him, you will get about one minute of rest time. At the same time, he will become stronger and stronger until the ninth time you disperse this shadow, the game ends."

  Ye Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. At this time, Ling Feng's voice came out again, "However, if you are defeated by him, someone will have to come and take your place to pay with their life!" As he spoke, eight figures suddenly appeared in front of them, Xiao Bai, Xu Jian, Chu Ba Tian...

  The figures of eight children flashed and disappeared.

  Ye Feng was at a loss again, thinking "One failure is one life..."

  "Of course, if you've 'died' once, that counts as passing one level! Now, let's start!"

  The sound of Lingfeng disappeared, and Ye Feng was also startled awake by this sound. He looked at the figure in front of him with a cautious expression. The figure seemed to have suddenly come back to life, taking a swift step forward and punching towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng dodged instinctively, avoiding the punch. The figure then kicked out again, violently kicking Ye Feng's abdomen, sending him flying two meters away. Before Ye Feng could get up, the figure kicked out once more, brutally striking his chest. Ye Feng fell back, rolling backwards with the momentum, and stood up, using one foot to kick the figure that was pouncing towards him open!

  Looking at the figure with a serious expression, he thought to himself, "No way, if this continues I'll be beaten to death sooner or later".

  Then he exerted his legs and ran towards the figure, punching at the figure's head. The figure dodged to one side while lifting its foot to kick at Ye Feng's waist. Ye Feng shifted his body slightly to the side, but his right fist couldn't stop in time and crashed into the figure's chest. Meanwhile, the figure's kick also landed on empty air, only its knee hitting Ye Feng's body. Unfazed, Ye Feng stretched out his left hand to grab at the figure's neck, slamming it to the ground. The figure struggled with all its might, landing two heavy punches on Ye Feng's body.

  Ye Feng gritted his teeth and held on tight, his left hand clamped firmly around the figure's neck, while his right hand formed a fist and rose up. One punch! A crack appeared on the figure's head. Two punches! The crack in the figure's skull grew larger, covering its entire head. Three punches! The figure's head shattered directly! Its body then broke into pieces like a geode smashed by a giant hammer, turning into a pile of rubble.

  Ye Feng stopped in his tracks, gazing down at the pile of human trash (indeed, they were nothing but human trash), and took a few deep breaths.

  At this time, Ling Feng's voice sounded again in Ye Feng's ear, "Well done, now give you a chance to choose".

  Ye Feng calmed down and looked up, "What choice?"

  Ling Feng said, "You've already dispersed this figure once. If you're willing to let the eight of them die, you can smoothly pass the test and officially join Shenfeng Academy!"

  Ye Feng heard it and his face immediately sank, coldly saying, "Not needed!"

  Ling Feng didn't get angry either, "Hehe, don't rush to answer, you'll regret it later."

  He said and then lost his voice again.

  Ye Feng rested for a while, slowly got up, and suddenly found that the powder under his feet seemed to be moving again. He was so scared that he immediately jumped away, only to see that the powder flew up violently and instantly formed into a human shape, exactly the same as before.

  Ye Feng had made some preparations and with the thought of striking first to gain the upper hand, he suddenly flew up and kicked out at the newly formed figure.

  That figure had just taken shape and didn't dodge, being kicked flying by Ye Feng. Ye Feng took a look and immediately pounced on it, wanting to use the same trick again. However, he didn't expect that the figure lying on the ground would lift its leg and kick Ye Feng in the chest with one foot, sending him flying out directly. As soon as he fell to the ground and was about to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, so painful that Ye Feng broke out in sweat. This kick was much more powerful than the previous figure's.

  That figure had already arrived in front of Ye Feng, one foot heavily trampling on Ye Feng's chest where he was just kicked, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and screamed uncontrollably, "Ah! ～" Struggling desperately.

  But Ye Feng was really in so much pain that he couldn't exert much strength, his figure didn't move at all, and with a fierce kick, he kicked Ye Feng's head again. Ye Feng's consciousness became blurry.

  Regaining consciousness, I found myself lying on the ground, the white space still as quiet as before. The wounds on my body and the white shadow that had just fought with me had all disappeared. Ling Feng stood smiling beside me, looking at Ye Feng, "Now that you've died once, whose life are you going to use to replace yours?" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the silhouettes of those eight children appeared once again.

  "Get out of here, you damn it!"

  Ling Feng still didn't get angry and smiled, "So you're going to give up on choosing?"

  Ye Feng looked at Ling Feng disdainfully, "Right!"

  Ling Feng's face suddenly turned as cold as frost, staring dead at Ye Feng, "Then you must die!"

  Yè Fēng's face fell, his voice was hoarse, and he said dryly, "I don't want to die... but I can no longer harm people..."

  Ling Feng coldly said, "Are you certain?"

  "Let's die if we must! Stop dawdling!"

  After finishing speaking, she tightly closed her eyes and sweat dripped down from her forehead.

  A gust of cool wind blew by, and I felt a chill on my face...

  Huh... wind? But there's no wind in that space!

  Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes to find the teachers, the principal and Lin Xiao staring at him. Ling Feng still had his eyes closed, playing the flute. Ye Feng himself was sitting on the beach. "Congratulations, kid! You passed the test!" The principal said.

  The night was vast and mysterious, her purple short hair fluttering in the wind. "Just now... what just happened..."
