In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

Several people were talking and laughing, but Cheng Xiao's consciousness was as chaotic and confused as ever.

He followed the others unconsciously, and the dim environment suddenly became bright.

The vast circular arena was empty of spectators, littered with countless broken limbs and bloody stains that hadn't been cleaned up in time. The iron gate at the other end opened, and another "student" was led out by the black magicians.

With his healing abilities limited, Cheng Xiao took nearly half a minute to adjust to the bright light. He looked at the student across from him; it wasn't exactly a new face.

A middle-aged man who can harden his bones to the hardness of steel.

"Cheng Xiao..."

The other party also recognized Cheng Xiao. At first, he was happy to meet an old friend, but he soon realized something and his face changed suddenly.

He should have thought of this... he should have thought of this earlier... all the students knew...

There are two very special people in the training ground... They are the two most important experiments of the Black Rose...

The teachers couldn't bear to see them die... they would never let them die...

So, that is to say...

"Cheng Xiao, I'm going to die today, right..."

The man's body was clean, but the vicissitudes, sadness and loss he showed at this moment made him look even more embarrassed than Cheng Xiao, who was covered in scars.

He took off his shirt with sighs and at the instructor's urging, revealing each muscle was huge enough.

"Cheng Xiao... give me some dignity, okay? Just think of it as a plea from your elder brother..."

The man didn't want to move forward, but the magic spear behind him pressed against his spine. He moved forward slowly, each step feeling heavy.

He looked at the young man opposite him who was only half his age, as if he saw the gate to hell.

The instructor rang the bronze bell in his hand, signaling the start of the battle. It was like the knell of death.

In an instant, the man rushed out.

His eyes were red, and his hardened left ulna protruded from the flesh, forming a bone blade that slashed straight towards Cheng Xiao.

"Brother, please...if you have the chance to go out in the future, come to Hardingburg to see my daughter..."

A familiar voice sounded in front of her, but Cheng Xiao couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

He dodged and counterattacked subconsciously, fully utilizing the fighting skills he had trained in years of life-and-death combat.

Despite having only one arm and poor vision, his close combat abilities are still very strong.

The man's bone blade struck the air, and before he could readjust his stance, Cheng Xiao broke his elbow joint, which had not yet hardened.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the intense pain made him groan.

"Hardinburg... Monica..." The man whispered his daughter's name while enduring the severe pain.

Cheng Xiao finally remembered the owner of this voice.

He quickly let go, but the man's joints had already been broken.

The man continued his attack under the instructors' threats, his voice gradually taking on a sob: "Brother, I'm not afraid of death... I just ask you to take care of Monica... Give her some gold coins... I... I feel so ashamed of her..."

Cheng Xiao remained silent and did not fight back. She just dodged while thinking about how to "reasonably" give the other party a way out.

But just when he was about to be killed by the other side, the instructor in the stands shot an arrow.

The arrow hit the man's feet.

On the quiver hung the man's daughter's necklace.

The man who wanted to avoid the fight collapsed instantly.

"I'm sorry, bro!"

The man's speed suddenly increased, and the angles of his attacks became more tricky - he even began to take advantage of Cheng Xiao's poor vision and launch sneak attacks.

Although Cheng Xiao couldn't see what was on the ground, he had roughly guessed everything.

He had long been familiar with the laboratory's usual practices.

"I'm sorry, Cheng Xiao! For my daughter... I have to kill you!"

The man roared as his bones hardened all over his body, and sharp bone blades protruded from almost every part of his skin.

Every move is a killing move.

Cheng Xiao sighed softly.

Then, go all out.

Although the man possesses unique abilities, his physical strength and speed are very average, and his fighting skills seem extremely crude in front of Cheng Xiao.

In just a few minutes, several of his major joints were dislocated.

Cheng Xiao couldn't break his hardened bones with his bare hands, but the bone blades that had transformed into bones became spears that could penetrate a hard shield.

The man showed no sign of pain as his own bone pierced his heart.

Instead, his feigned anger and determination melted into a smile.

Cheng Xiao's blurred vision finally became clearer at this moment.

He saw the man's bloody smile and heard the voice of relief:

"A blacksmith in Hardingburg wants to forge a sword from my bones... He's willing to pay a large sum of gold coins... Take it... and give it to..."

"Monica..."

The man suddenly fell to the ground, and before he died, he released the hardening of the small part of the bone that Cheng Xiao was holding.

Click... click...

Cheng Xiao now had a complete bone blade in his hand.

But he didn't agree to the body on the ground.

Because he knew that he couldn't take the bone knife out, and he couldn't leave the Black Rose laboratory.

The dead man knew it too.

That was just his wishful thinking.

"Okay, take him back." The coach in the stands waved his hand, and several sweepers immediately trotted into the arena and started cleaning.

The man's body was dragged away by them like pork, and the bloodstains all over the ground made his final death undignified.

Cheng Xiao's one arm was quickly locked up, and a sharp knife was stabbed into both of his eyes at the same time, intending to blind him for a while - to prevent him from remembering the route from here to the inside of the laboratory.

At the moment before the sharp knife stabbed him, he was still looking into the dead man's eyes.

He saw relief and ease in those dilated pupils.

He felt like he had seen it somewhere...

Yes, I have seen...

The rust on this sharp knife...it will prick the upper right corner of my eye socket...the smell of rust will penetrate my nose...

Yes, everything is so familiar... I have seen it all before...

Cheng Xiao did not stand there as usual to be blinded and taken back to the laboratory, but instead dodged downwards for some unknown reason.

The sharp knife slid past the back of his head, and the stunned scavenger was severely injured in an instant.

click!

Cheng Xiao forcibly broke her locked wrists and then punched the scavenger in the jaw.

This area is most likely to cause dizziness.

"Number 47!"

The other scavengers immediately became alert and took out all kinds of weapons with magic suppression functions.

But Cheng Xiao had already half-broken free from the handcuffs. He simply rushed directly towards the man's body and used the latter's hardened ribs to cut off his entire arm.

The magic-suppressing shackles fell off completely, and the magic power and powerful self-healing ability returned instantly.

His broken body recovered in just a few seconds, and the scavengers rushing towards him became extremely slow in his eyes.

He dodged the attacks of two people easily and pierced another person's heart with his bone blade.

But these scavengers are not the problem.

What really made it impossible for him to escape were the teachers who knew him best.

"It seems your previous education wasn't good enough... No. 47, you were so well behaved before, why did you do something so stupid today?"

Several teachers from the Black Rose gathered around, all kinds of strange magic in their palms.

Cheng Xiao was just not paying attention, and the dark magical energy was like an invisible big hand that pulled him over and held his arms tightly.

The instructor came over with a jigsaw.

He grinned and waved the "weapon" in his hand ostentatiously.

"I can't use a boning knife today. I think this slender saw will suit you better... It might take me an hour or two to completely saw you open. But don't worry, I'll use some alcohol to disinfect you, and use an electric current... That's going to be fun."

Cheng Xiao still wanted to resist, but several other teachers had already rushed over, and countless magic suppression devices made by Black Rose were all aimed at him.

Once his magic power is suppressed, his self-healing ability will be severely limited.

"Don't struggle, No. 47... Accept your fate. You're just a weapon whose abilities will eventually fuse with Rell's."

A teacher grabbed Cheng Xiao's neck and forced him to lift his head.

When their eyes met, Cheng Xiao only saw morbid brutality, cruelty and excitement in those brown eyes.

He could also see his own miserable reflection in the other person's eyes.

It's so familiar, yet it seems like a long time ago...

It should have ended long ago...

In my own reflection... there is another figure...

Gorgeous robes and tall figure...

Yes……

"Your dreams amaze me, and your abilities are shocking."

A cold voice sounded in her ears, and Cheng Xiao suddenly felt her eyes itchy.

His pupils gradually split into two round holes.

A blindfolded woman...or rather her reflection, appeared in the round hole.

Then it shows up in the real world.

The laughing teachers suddenly stopped, and the scavengers also stopped what they were doing. They all froze in place, as if someone had pressed the stop button on the world.

It also seems like... it's trapped in eternal ice.

"Child from a barbaric empire, does the snow and wind of Freljord make you miss your homeland?"

Whose voice is this...

This figure... and the outfit...

Cheng Xiao wanted to speak, but his mouth seemed to be frozen and he could hardly open it.

An indescribable chill climbed up his spine, and he saw everything around him begin to collapse and shatter.

Like a mirror that gradually breaks into pieces.

The figure came in front of him, put a white and cold finger against his chin, and gently lifted his head.

He couldn't see the other person's eyes, but he could feel the empty gaze.

He saw the woman's face, as pale as death, with a strange icy blue hue...but she was also beautiful, like a carefully carved ice sculpture. Her eyes were covered by an ice crystal hood, but her features were as delicate and beautiful as a painting.

"Your dream is very interesting."

The tall woman removed her fingertips and began to retreat. Her slender figure gradually collapsed along with everything around her, but Cheng Xiao saw her entire body clearly before that.

That’s right…it’s her…
