"Experience in fighting to the death? Brother Yan, what you said makes sense, but it's something you can't train for."

Lu Lin frowned, feeling that the braised meat in his hand no longer tasted good. He put his drink aside and said in a rather helpless tone.

"I'm not a madman from Quanxing. My great-grandfather was very strict with my upbringing. He would never let me go out into the martial world to become some so-called chivalrous knight. If I were to provoke others just to build up my courage, my great-grandfather would break my legs before anyone else even had to lift a finger."

"I am even more so."

Zhang Lingyu also shook her head. Her white robe swayed gently in the breeze, making her appear exceptionally pure and otherworldly, but her words revealed a naive innocence.

"I grew up on this mountain. Besides the trees and plants of Longhu Mountain, my only companions are the pilgrims and fellow disciples who come up the mountain. I have no idea where to go after I come down the mountain. If no one is there to guide me, I'll most likely get lost at the train station. Besides, I have no reason to fight with anyone. My master can't possibly send me down the mountain, can he?"

Yan Sen looked at the two flowers that had grown up in a greenhouse in front of him, and for a moment he was speechless.

He sighed, put his hand to his forehead, and looked at them as if they were two dim-witted sons of a landlord.

"Should we call you two naive, or just plain stupid? Who sent you out to fight like madmen? With your delicate skin and tender flesh, if you were put in a place where people eat each other without spitting out bones, who would be responsible if you got killed?"

Yan Sen sized up the two men. One was aloof and handsome, the other gentle and refined. He clicked his tongue twice, "Just look at how good-looking they are. Before they even make a move, some wicked woman with ill intentions will probably swindle them out of their underwear. Aren't I helping you out?"

Zhang Lingyu blushed and instinctively squeezed her legs together: "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of bad woman is this!"

"Brother Yan, you are indeed very strong, and the pressure of fighting you is intense, but I really can't treat you as an enemy."

"If you don't fight a real enemy, if you don't put yourself in a life-or-death situation, you can't feel that sense of crisis, right? That's a paradox in itself."

Although Lu Lin didn't react that strongly, he still looked unconvinced and retorted seriously.

Yan Sen dropped the mockery on his face, stood up, clapped his hands, and stared intently at the two of them.

Do you two believe me?

There was no unnecessary chatter, just a simple question.

"letter."

Lu Lin answered crisply and decisively, her eyes clear, without the slightest hesitation.

In his view, although Yan Sen was quite unruly, he was a person of impeccable character and had very clever methods. Moreover, he had no grudges against them and no ill will.

Such a person is naturally worthy of his trust.

"Uh... believe me."

Zhang Lingyu hesitated for a moment.

His years of being scammed and suffering reminded him that believing in someone's words usually meant bad luck was coming.

But he also knew that although Yan Sen was a troublemaker, he was never ambiguous when it came to important matters.

"That's fine then."

Yan Sen snapped his fingers, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Come with me, I'll take you to a good place. I'll show you... real 'fear'."

After Yan Sen finished speaking, he waved to Chen Duo and Lu Linglong, who were watching the show from the side, and then turned and walked deeper into the back mountain.

That was the secluded cave where Yan Que first led him to Longhu Mountain to avoid the attention of others.

The method he was going to use was the same one that had made Ding Shian, that martial arts fanatic, question his existence on Changbai Mountain a few days ago—"Heaven and Earth Abandon".

However, that move is too drastic and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

If he were to perform his act here and alert the tourists on the front mountain, that petty-minded Grand Tutor would surely give him another lesson.

That "narrow passage" was in an excellent location and was a rare "hidden cave," perfect for bullying the kind-hearted... oh no, for closed-door teaching.

Lu Lin and Zhang Lingyu exchanged a glance. Although they were still having doubts, they had no choice but to follow.

The group walked through the woods and across the valleys, chatting and joking along the way.

About half an hour later, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a sheer cliff that seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

The bottomless canyon cleaved the mountainside, shrouded in mist, with only a narrow stone beam connecting the two sides, a sight that made one's legs weak.

On the cliff halfway up the opposite side of the canyon, a dark cave entrance can be vaguely seen.

"That's it."

Yan Sen pointed to the hole and said.

Lu Lin peered into the abyss below, swallowed hard, and her face paled slightly. "Uh... good spot, very secluded. But Brother Yan, how do we get across? There's no path here!"

"The road? It's alright, Brother Lin, don't worry. There was no road when I came here."

Yan Sen chuckled, walked to the edge of the cliff, stretched out his hand, and golden light surged from his palm, instantly condensing into a thick golden rope.

"Then what do we do..." Zhang Lingyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Yan Sen's malicious gaze. Instinctively, she wanted to back away. "What are you doing! Wait! Ahhh—!"

Before Zhang Lingyu could finish speaking, the golden rope in Yan Sen's hand, like a snake emerging from its hole, quickly wrapped around Zhang Lingyu's waist and tied her to a thick tree. Yan Sen himself was also tied to one end of the rope.

"Get out of here!"

Yan Sen shouted loudly, without the slightest hesitation, and directly grabbed Zhang Lingyu and leaped into the air!

Just as Yan Que led him down this path back then, today Yan Sen will lead Zhang Lingyu down the same way.

This is what is meant by inheritance!

This is what they call fatherly love!

"Yan Sen! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Zhang Lingyu's piercing screams echoed through the canyon. Accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, the two of them, like swinging on a swing, traced a breathtaking arc, passed through the cool mountain breeze, and landed steadily in the cave.

The moment he landed, Yan Sen released Zhang Lingyu, whose face was deathly pale, legs were weak, and eyes were practically lifeless, and patted his face.

"Look on with your eyes open! This is so exciting; most people can't experience this."

Then, the golden rope tightened and pulled him up, and Yan Sen followed suit, catching the three people above him one by one.

When Lu Lin came down, she didn't make a sound, but the knuckles of her hands, which were gripping Yan Sen's arm tightly, were white. After landing, she sat down on the ground with a thud and didn't recover for a long time.

On the contrary, Lu Linglong and Chen Duo, the two girls, performed unexpectedly well.

When Lu Linglong came down, she hugged Yan Sen's neck tightly, her face flushed with excitement, and she giggled.

Chen Duo was even more amazing. After landing, she blinked her big, emerald-like eyes and looked at Yan Sen with anticipation.

"Brother Sen, I want to do it again."

Looking at the two grown men's cowardly "survivor" appearance and the two young girls' lingering expressions, Yan Sen shook his head helplessly.

This year's male team members are no good.

After a long while, Zhang Lingyu and Lu Lin finally recovered from that "I feel like I'm going to die" state.

"Brother Yan..." Lu Lin stood up, leaning against the wall, and unusually looked at Yan Sen with a resentful look in her eyes. "The method you mentioned, it can't be this, can it? If it was to scare us to death, then you've succeeded."

"Of course not, what's so special about that? I played with that when I was six years old." Yan Sen waved his hand with a smile, looking completely nonchalant.

Immediately, the smile on his face faded, turning extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

He repeated exactly what he had said to Ding Shian before.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: when I use my powers, neither of you are allowed to move an inch. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to move. You can sit in meditation or regulate your breathing, anything is fine, just don't move, understand?"

Yan Sen's voice echoed in the empty cave, carrying a strange sense of authority that seemed to come from nowhere.

Lu Lin and Zhang Lingyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

The real highlight is here!

"I understand, Brother Yan, please come!"

"We can start anytime!"

The two answered at the same time.

The two sat down cross-legged, each occupying one side, with their palms facing upwards, and adjusted their breathing.

Lu Lin was surrounded by a faint white light, a sign that the Reverse Life Triple Transformation was flowing under her skin; Zhang Lingyu, on the other hand, had a restrained golden light, like a statue covered in gold leaf, solemn and serene.

"Duo'er, Linglong, you two go over there for a while, don't talk, just watch." Yan Sen pointed to a large rock in the corner and said softly.

Chen Duo nodded obediently, then pulled Lu Linglong, who was excited and even wanted to take out her phone to record, into a corner.

The two little girls each held a bag of potato chips that they had somehow pulled out of nowhere and started munching on them.

"Now... I'd like to say good luck to you two."

The moment he finished speaking, Yan Sen slowly closed his eyes.

At first, nothing happened.

Inside the cave, you can even hear the roar of the waterfall cascading down in the distance and the occasional dripping of water from the rock walls.

Zhang Lingyu and Lu Lin were on edge, fully focused on guarding against any possible attacks—whether it was fists, kicks, magic, or that strange gravity suppression.

However, ten seconds passed.

Thirty seconds passed.

A minute passed.

The anticipated attack did not occur.

"What's going on?" Lu Lin was filled with doubt. He secretly opened one eye, wanting to see what Yan Sen was up to.

However, the instant he opened his eyes, an indescribable chill crept up his tailbone and down his entire back.

Yan Sen, who was sitting on the bluestone, has disappeared.

No, to be precise, you can still see him sitting there with the naked eye.

But when Lu Lin tried to sense Yan Sen through Qi, there was nothing there.

Just like a drop of water merging into the ocean, or a grain of dust returning to the earth.

Yan Sen's presence, even his very essence, was completely erased at this moment.

Instead, there was an indescribable feeling.

Lu Lin felt his scalp tingling; a biological instinctive fear made him instinctively want to jump up and run away.

But he clearly remembered Yan Sen's previous instructions—"Don't move at all."

He forcibly suppressed the urge to run away, and before he could figure out what was happening, something even stranger occurred.

Lu Lin felt as if she had suddenly become an outcast.

The once gentle air had become thick and hostile, and every breath felt like swallowing water full of shards of glass, as if it could tear his lungs apart at any moment.

The once solid ground beneath his feet now felt like countless sharp steel needles, piercing his skin through his trousers.

He felt like a child isolated by the whole class, or an abandoned baby left in the wilderness.

It was filled with loneliness, helplessness, and despair.

"What...is this...?"
