You are all immortal cultivators, how dare you challenge my heavenly tribulation?

Chapter 284 Chu Hongyi's magnanimity
Fang Lei's behavior might seem a little puzzling to Chu Hongyi.

Why should I suffer this?
I'll go my own way. If I can't hold on, then I can't hold on. What's it got to do with you?

Why do you let me suffer?
……

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

**
But if we understand it in other words, or look at it from Fang Lei's perspective, all of this will become natural.

"Mencius" contains——

Therefore, when God is about to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer.
To exhaust his muscles and bones, to starve his body, to deprive him of his possessions, to disturb his conduct,
Therefore, moving one's heart and enduring one's nature can increase one's ability to do what one could not do before.

……

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 happens to be qualified.

"Let me see if your tolerance... is enough to support your ambitions, 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's body was covered with burn marks at this time, and he looked like he was breathing in more than out.

Just like a little chick, Wei Man held it and applied ointment on it.

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.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hongyi didn't care at all about Fang Lei's words.

Fang Lei had no doubt that if they had not boarded the Black Phoenix and he had not been seriously injured, they would have counterattacked immediately.

"But three times is a good rule. I won't test you a fourth time," Fang Lei continued.

Hearing this, Chu Hongyi grinned and said:

"Why, am I going to ask you to test me again?"

Fang Lei knew that Chu Hongyi was angry, but he still did not choose to explain. Instead, he continued to mutter:
"You don't have to beg me. When you really beg me, it's no longer worth it for me to test you."

Chu Hongyi was so angry that he laughed when he heard this 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 did not take his anger out on his own people.

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

When Chu Hongyi heard this, he first looked angry.

But he suddenly noticed the seriousness on Wei Man's face, frowned and asked:
"why?"

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

"We have to get through!"

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

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

"Why?"

Wei Man also noticed that Chu Hongyi was angry, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

As if seeing Wei Man's persistence, Chu Hongyi suppressed his anger and asked again:
"Must pass?"

Wei Man nodded vigorously and said:

"You have to celebrate! And you have to celebrate beautifully!"

"There's no punishment for failure, but if you win... there's a reward."

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

“He’ll give rewards?”

Wei Man shook his head and said to Chu Hongyi:
“Hardship is the reward!”

Chu Hongyi's frown relaxed in an instant. He felt as if he suddenly understood Wei Man's meaning. He repeated:
"What you mean is that the experience of getting through it... is the biggest reward, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Man immediately widened his eyes and nodded. **
Thanks to Wei Man's reminder, Chu Hongyi also calmed down.

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

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

"The number of people you are going to kill is far greater than what you just felt."

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

Then he discovered a volume of information that made his scalp explode.

The other party might know what he was going to do, so he tested him deliberately!

We won’t discuss how Fang Lei knew this, or on what basis he knew it, but Chu Hongyi knew it clearly.

Fang Lei's test was based on what he had in mind.

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

He has now passed the test twice;
And if he fails even three mock exams...

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

"But three times is better than the other. I won't test you a fourth time."

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

After careful consideration, Chu Hongyi gradually realized the hidden meaning in Fang Lei's next three sentences.

If you fail three times, you can retreat and save your life...

But if you insist on moving forward, there will be no way back, and you will die.

Therefore, Fang Lei's test this time was exactly as Wei Man said -

Must pass!
Have a beautiful life!

*****
"Senior, I'm ready!" Chu Hongyi said proactively.

"Oh? Have you figured it out?"

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

"Yes!" Chu Hongyi replied.

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

The black flame lived up to everyone's expectations and immediately counterattacked towards Chu Hongyi and Wei Man.

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

……

"Witch, what do you think is his chance of passing this time?" Black Phoenix started talking to Fang Lei again.

"Fifty percent, right?"

"So high?" Black Phoenix's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. She didn't think she was that weak.

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

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

Fang Lei was still smiling, but this time, his smile showed some satisfaction.

"If he can't make it, he'll die! Not even I can save him!"

"But his magnanimity of preferring death to disgrace is great!"

Having said that, 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 Yin Ruins.

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

"Black Phoenix spotted!" a message was sent.

Zooming in to take a closer look, the figures were none other than Ma Jie and Su Zhi, who had been burned by the Black Phoenix's black flames.

However, at this time, the two of them had completely merged into one body, which was extremely weird.

Two heads rubbing against one shoulder is so weird.

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

Obviously, they seemed to have known for a long time that the Black Phoenix was related to the treasure.
