51: Congratulations, you passed.
"Wang Dadong, why didn't you fight back when I hit you?"
On the playground.
Rex asked, looking at the bruised and swollen Wang Dadong, whom he had beaten into a pig's head.
He had made An Qi cry.
At that moment.
He... couldn't control himself and beat him severely.
"Because..."
"We're friends."
Wang Dadong answered as a matter of course. The ten-year-old boy looked at the sun and said:
"I don't hit friends."
Sunlight spilled down.
The two sat on the grass.
They only felt at ease.
...
"Why are you bullying people?"
"If you want to bully him..."
"You'll have to go through me first."
Wang Dadong's figure stood in front of him, surrounded by over a dozen older students.
"Wang Dadong, are you very brave?"
"This has nothing to do with you!"
"Get lost!"
"Otherwise, we'll beat you too!"
Vicious voices echoed in his ears.
"I said."
"He's my friend."
"If you want to touch him..."
"You'll have to go through me first."
Wang Dadong said firmly.
...
"Wang Dadong, are we good friends?"
"Of course."
"Friends for life?"
"Of course!"
"What if I change?"
"Then we'll still be good friends for life."
...
...
Buzz.
This punch.
Came to an abrupt halt.
Stopping in front of Wang Dadong.
Rex's body froze in place.
He looked at Wang Dadong in front of him.
All the questions.
Finally had an answer.
Because.
They were friends.
So.
This idiot wouldn't be angry, wouldn't resent, wouldn't blame him, even if he knew the truth, knew his darkness, knew his evil, knew that he...
Was going to kill him.
How could there be such an idiot in this world?
"Rex?"
"What are you doing?"
"Kill him quickly!"
"Kill him!"
"Have you forgotten your Legacy?"
"Have you forgotten the hatred for your father?!"
In his ear.
Ares's thunderous voice came out, clearly not expecting Rex to stop at this critical moment, even though he had already used Demonic Energy, causing Rex's negative emotions to surge.
But he still didn't strike?
This indeed made Ares feel incredible and shocked.
It should be known that from the very beginning, Rex was very easily swayed, mainly because his mind was too weak. Lacking parents from a young age made his personality actually inferior, and the more so, the easier his Gu was to succeed.
But now, at this critical moment...
Rex actually gave up?
"Are you crazy, Rex!"
"You'll die if you don't kill him!"
Ares roared, once again urging Demonic Energy, wanting Rex to act immediately.
"Rex?"
And at this moment.
Wang Dadong.
Had not waited for Rex's attack for a long time, and opened his eyes in surprise, only to find that Rex, in front of him, had actually stopped, which made him look somewhat bewildered.
"This..."
Wang Arthur and Ding Xiaoyu's bodies paused slightly. They all stopped not far from Wang Dadong, looking at all this with some surprise.
Rex.
Actually didn't strike?
"One..."
And behind him.
The Skinny Man finished his last count.
In an instant.
The atmosphere.
Became extremely tense.
"..."
The Skinny Man's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Rex stop.
"It seems..."
"Rex."
"Your choice is for everyone to die together."
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of the Skinny Man's mouth.
"I..."
Rex's expression immediately became somewhat uneasy.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wang Dadong, Wang Arthur, and Ding Xiaoyu's expressions also became extremely tense, all secretly circulating their Internal Energy, preparing for a final resistance.
"Very good."
"Since that's the case..."
"Then all of you go to hell."
The Skinny Man's expression immediately turned cold!
In an instant!
Rex and the three others immediately felt a chill, instantly permeating their entire bodies, making them completely unable to move. A terrifying Qi suddenly erupted from the Skinny Man in front of them, forming an overwhelming pressure!
"So..."
"So strong."
Wang Dadong and the two others looked horrified. With this eruption of Qi, they didn't even know the Skinny Man's specific Combat Power Index. The only thing they could know was...
This guy...
Was terrifyingly strong!
So strong that they couldn't even sense his specific Combat Power Index. How much Combat Power Index did this guy actually have?!
Even.
Rex and the two others found that not only Wang Dadong, but even they couldn't move.
"Have you made your choice?"
"Rex."
"This is your last chance."
The Skinny Man asked again.
"I..."
"I'm sure."
But this time.
Rex.
Answered firmly.
"Come on."
"Da Dong..."
"I'm sorry."
"However, the four of us will die together."
"I've implicated you all."
This time, Rex looked seriously at Wang Dadong, as well as Wang Arthur and Ding Xiaoyu beside him.
"Forget it."
"Anyway..."
"It's all in the past."
Wang Arthur smiled slightly, ready to face death calmly.
"Come on."
The four.
Were clearly ready to die.
"Very good."
The Skinny Man looked at the four, raising his other hand. The four immediately felt a terrifying energy invisibly locking onto them.
Cold sweat streamed down the four's faces, feeling death pervade their bodies.
But the next second.
Buzz.
He directly...
Released the hand that was gripping Wang Dadong's neck.
"Congratulations."
"Rex."
"You passed."
The Skinny Man looked at Rex and said calmly.
"Ah?"
Pa... passed?
For a moment.
Wang Dadong and the three others were filled with doubt and surprise, completely unaware of what the Skinny Man in front of them meant.
He had just...
Been about to kill the four of them.
But the next second.
He suddenly said Rex's test was passed?
"Could it be..."
And at this moment.
Wang Arthur seemed to have thought of something.
His gaze immediately turned to the side, and Ding Xiaoyu's gaze also turned to him. Their eyes met, and they instantly guessed each other's thoughts.
From the very beginning...
This was a test!
A test for Rex.
But this test was not to make Rex kill Wang Dadong, but to make Rex face his own heart, or rather, to test Rex's heart.
To test Rex's...
Self-will.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, Rex should currently be influenced by Aress Hand. In such a situation, coupled with his previous hatred for Wang Dadong, if it were an ordinary person...
Perhaps in that instant.
They would definitely make a choice.
Either they died.
Or...
Wang Dadong died.
There was simply no choice; the only way was to follow the Skinny Man and kill Wang Dadong. But if that were the case, then Rex would have failed.
"That's right."
"This was a test for you."
The Skinny Man spoke calmly, his expression having returned to a very indifferent gaze.
"If you had truly attacked Wang Dadong..."
"Then you would not have been qualified to receive this Legacy."
"However."
"You succeeded."
