You are a cultivator of immortality, how dare you challenge my heavenly tribulation?

Fang Lei's behavior may seem a bit puzzling to Chu Hongyi.

Why should I suffer this?

I will go my own way. If I can't hold on, I can't hold on. What's your business?

Why do you make me suffer?

...

But the above considerations are because the person who made Chu Hongyi suffer is in front of him, or from Chu Hongyi's perspective...

**

If you understand it in another way, or from Fang Lei's perspective, all this will become natural.

"Mencius" records -

Therefore, when heaven is about to give a great task to a person, it must first make his heart and mind suffer,

tire his muscles and bones, starve his body, make him poor, and make him feel frustrated,

so that he can move his heart and endure his nature, and increase his ability.

...

Fang Lei is the "heaven" in this sentence, and also the "heavenly calamity" of this world.

Since Chu Hongyi wants to do great things, others may not be qualified to test him.

But Fang Lei is qualified.

"Let me see if your tolerance... is enough to support your ambition, Chu Hongyi!"

"You know, your path in this era is not easy."

...

An hour later, realizing that Chu Hongyi was about to die, Fang Lei waved his hand again and saved Chu Hongyi.

Chu Hongyi was now covered with burn marks, and he looked like he was breathing in more than out.

Just like a chicken, he was carried by Wei Man to apply ointment.

Although he was in a mess, he still glared at Fang Lei.

"Take a break, I will test you for the third time." Fang Lei ignored Chu Hongyi's eyes and said to himself.

Chu Hongyi heard this and didn't care about Fang Lei's words at all.

Fang Lei didn't doubt that if they hadn't boarded the Black Phoenix pirate ship and his injuries were not serious, they might have counterattacked immediately.

"But three times is the limit, I won't test you for the fourth time." Fang Lei continued.

Hearing this, Chu Hongyi grinned and said:

"Why, would I still ask you to test me?"

Fang Lei knew that Chu Hongyi was angry, but he still did not choose to explain. Instead, he continued to say in a mysterious way:

"You don't have to beg me. When you really beg me, it's not worth it for me to test you."

Chu Hongyi was so angry that he laughed and was about to argue.

But Wei Man on the side pulled Chu Hongyi instead.

"What's the matter?" Although Chu Hongyi was angry, he didn't vent his anger on his own people.

"We have to pass the test!" Wei Man looked serious.

Chu Hongyi was angry at first when he heard this.

But he suddenly saw the seriousness on Wei Man's face, frowned and asked:

"Why?"

Wei Man scratched his head, shook his head again, and said hesitantly:

"We must pass the test!"

Wei Man emphasized his tone this time, but still did not give a reason.

Chu Hongyi frowned even more, and this time he asked with a little anger:

"Why?"

Wei Man also saw Chu Hongyi's anger, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head.

As if he saw Wei Man's persistence, Chu Hongyi suppressed his anger and asked again:

"Must pass?"

Wei Man nodded vigorously and said:

"Must pass! And pass beautifully!"

"No punishment for failure, but reward for winning."

Chu Hongyi was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Wei Man in confusion, and repeated:

"Reward?"

"Will he give a reward?"

Wei Man shook his head and said to Chu Hongyi:

"Hardship is a reward!"

Chu Hongyi's originally frowned brows loosened in an instant, and he felt as if he suddenly understood Wei Man's meaning, and he repeated:

"What you want to say is that the experience of getting through... is the biggest reward, right?"

Wei Man heard this and immediately widened his eyes and nodded.

**

Thanks to Wei Man's reminder, Chu Hongyi calmed down.

No longer limited by the perspective of "hostility" to Fang Lei, he recalled the three sentences Fang Lei said to him again.

"The road you are going to take is much more difficult than you think."

"The people you are going to kill are also much more than you just felt."

"If you don't want to fail in the future, break free from this black flame yourself."

Then, he found out a lot of information that made his scalp explode.

The other party may know what he is going to do, so he deliberately tested him!

Here we will not talk about how Fang Lei knew it, and why he knew it, but Chu Hongyi knew it clearly in his heart-

Fang Lei's test was a test given to him according to what he thought in his heart.

In other words, it can be understood as a mock test.

Now he has passed the exam twice;

If he fails three mock exams...

"Take a break, I will test you for the third time."

"But three times is the limit, I will not test you for the fourth time."

"You don't have to beg me. When you really beg me, it is no longer worth it for me to test you."

Thinking carefully, Chu Hongyi gradually reacted to the hidden meaning of Fang Lei's next three sentences.

If he fails three times, he can retreat and save his life...

But if he insists on moving forward, there will be no way back, and he will die.

So Fang Lei's test this time is indeed as Wei Man said--

Must pass!

Pass beautifully!

*****

"Senior, I'm ready!" Chu Hongyi took the initiative to say.

"Oh? Have you reacted?"

Fang Lei had no doubts at all, after all, he still paid some attention to Chu Hongyi.

"Yes!" Chu Hongyi replied.

"Well, OK, let's start." After the words fell, Fang Lei once again withdrew the power to suppress the black flame.

Black Flame did not disappoint everyone and immediately attacked Chu Hongyi and Wei Man.

In a flash, the two turned into black fire men again.

...

"Witch, how many percent do you think he can pass this time?" Black Phoenix started to talk to Fang Lei again.

"Fifty percent?"

"So high?" Black Phoenix's tone was a little dissatisfied, she felt that she was not so weak.

"It's not high, but he no longer has the option of 'but' in his mind." Fang Lei retorted with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Black Phoenix was puzzled.

Fang Lei was still laughing, but this time his laugh was a little satisfied.

"If he can't make it, he will die! Even I can't save him!"

"But his magnanimity of preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace is great!"

Speaking of this, Fang Lei stood up, stood on the back of the Black Phoenix with his hands behind his back, and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the ruins of Yin.

***

There was a strange figure hanging far behind the Black Phoenix.

"The Black Phoenix was found!" A message was sent.

Zooming in to see, the figure was Ma Jie and Su Zhi who were burned by the black flames of the Black Phoenix before.

However, the two people at this time have completely merged into one body, which is extremely weird.

Two heads rubbing on one shoulder, not to mention how strange it is.

"Keep tracking and find the treasure!" Soon, the reply came.

Obviously, it seems that they already knew that the Black Phoenix was related to the treasure.
