Abel, Guile.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Wei smiled.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome to run into people from the opposing camp at a time like this..." The muscular, blond-haired young man in a blue Taoist uniform looked serious.

Beside him, Gu Lie was dressed in his own uniform with the insignia of a soldier from the Republic of China: a dark green vest, durable camouflage combat pants, heavy military boots, and a dog tag around his neck—the only memento left by his deceased comrade.

Guile has an exaggerated broom-like hairstyle. You see, the army of the country doesn't have any special requirements for appearance, but Guile's unique appearance is rare in the entire army.

However, considering that he is a major in the Air Force, it is normal for him to have some privileges. Others would not dare to keep him, but he would.

"Abel, step back. My body is trembling with fear. This guy might be stronger than we thought." Guile's expression was also grim.

Chapter 4. Double Kill

Gu Lie's sensitivity surprised Li Wei. He was keeping a low profile and controlling his strength, not showing off his power. He was only slightly above average. But even so, Gu Lie still noticed something was wrong.

Li Wei said, "What, want to play a game?"

Gu Lie took two steps back and said, "We're in a hurry and don't have time to fight you here. Besides, we'll be surrounded by spiders soon, and I hate insects."

Abel whispered, "Retreat?"

"Let's retreat. This guy is weird. Did you notice? Wherever he is, those spider monsters don't dare to approach, like they're terrified of something," Gu Lie whispered.

Abel heard Guile's reminder and realized that it was indeed the case. Wherever Levi went, he could not see any trace of the spider monsters, and there were no signs of battle around them. However, he could still see the spider webs left behind by the spider monsters.

In other words, those spider monsters were avoiding the man in front of them; anyone capable of doing something like that is practically superhuman.

"Aoki and a Gil-level expert?" Abel whispered.

Gu Lie nodded and said, "I don't intend to die here, so let's retreat."

Abel nodded and said loudly, "I suddenly realize I have some things to take care of, so we'll take our leave now. Good luck, sir."

Just as Abel and Guile were retreating quickly, Levi laughed and said, "Wish me luck? My good luck is meeting you two. How about I borrow your heads?"

Gu Lie's expression changed, and he swung out a sonic chop, a bluish-green vortex rapidly hurtling towards Li Wei.

"Ah-mei, are you watching military combat techniques? They're quite interesting." Li Wei casually swung his hand, and the sonic hand blade was shattered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Abel had already advanced from a low position to in front of Levi. Guile's sonic chop was a feint attack to obscure Levi's vision and create an opportunity for Abel's attack.

"Got it!" Abel instantly slammed his shoulder into Levi's waist and abdomen, knocking Levi back a distance.

But when Abel grabbed Levi's lower back, intending to lift him up and throw him around, he found himself as if he were holding a mountain, unable to budge Levi at all.

Abel tripped over Li Wei's calf with one leg, trying to trip him up, but Li Wei's body didn't budge.

Levi grabbed Abel's arm and flicked it lightly, sending Abel flying. Abel's immense strength, capable of easily tossing over an African elephant and strangling a salted crocodile, was as powerless as a child when facing Levi.

Abel's attack failed, and Guile unleashed a series of sonic chop strikes. Guile was a man who preferred to fight with his brain. Even Abel, whose physical abilities far surpassed his own, couldn't shake Levi. Therefore, engaging Levi in ​​close combat was definitely not a good choice for him. In comparison, creating opportunities for Abel to attack was a safer option for him.

A series of sonic hand strikes blocked Levi's movement from all directions, preventing him from pursuing Abel. But what happened next almost made Guile's eyes pop out of their sockets.

Despite enduring a series of sonic chop blows, Levi caught up with Abel, who had been thrown off balance. Levi grabbed Abel's ankle and slammed him down, sending Abel crashing to the ground. Huge cracks began to spread outwards from beneath him.

Abel coughed up blood, feeling as if his internal organs were screaming in agony. The immense impact reverberated within him, making it impossible for him to remain conscious.

"Abel!!!" Seeing this, Guile disregarded his inferior physical abilities compared to Abel, quickly closed the distance, and delivered a heavy "Horizontal Whip Hammer" to Li Wei's head.

Levi is taller than Guile, but because Levi is still holding Abel's ankle, the height of his head is exactly the optimal height for his "Horizontal Whip Hammer" strike.

Seeing the fist coming towards him, Li Wei remained calm and leaned back slightly to dodge the attack. At the same time, he delivered a whip kick to Gu Lie's side ribs.

Gu Lie was thrown forward instantly, rolling several times on the ground to dissipate the impact before barely managing to stand up. Gu Lie could feel that his ribs were broken where he had been kicked.

Guile stared at Abel, who was unconscious in the deep pit, his face extremely grim. Abel had only taken a direct hit and was already unconscious; if he had been the one to withstand that heavy blow, he probably wouldn't have been just unconscious...

Li Wei said, "Resisting will only lead to extra suffering. Isn't it better to just obey?"

Gu Lie gently touched his wound. Although his ribs were broken, they had not pierced his internal organs and were still within his limit. He could continue fighting for a while without any problem.

"Is this my last struggle...?" Gule had never felt so desperate before. Even when he and Nash were captured and endured days of torture, he had never felt this desperate.

“I have no intention of letting you struggle at all. Look at the person next to you, isn’t he sleeping like a baby?” Li Wei laughed.

"And then you can't wake up, right?" Looking at the unconscious Abel, Guile didn't know how to retort.

"A painless end like this is what you'll enjoy." Although Levi didn't dislike Abel and Guile, he would still eliminate individuals from different factions to reduce potential enemies. After all, Abel and Guile were individuals with considerable potential, and letting them grow unchecked would be a troublesome matter to deal with later.

Li Wei raised his hand, and a large amount of light burst out from his palm, instantly enveloping Guile and Abel. In an instant, the entire block vanished, leaving only a smooth, large crater in its place.

Given the absolute difference in strength, Guile and Abel were both defeated before they could even unleash their true power.

"How was the experience watching the show? Are you able to come out now?" Li Wei turned around and looked at a certain direction behind him, where a figure slowly emerged.

Before Li Wei appeared a tall, mature woman in a stylish trench coat. Her face was cold and beautiful, and a long scarf swirled around her like a nimble snake.

"Rose, right?" Li Wei said calmly.

After Li Wei exposed her identity, Rose said, "For a being whose destiny cannot be foreseen, is it an honor for me to have such a powerful person as you know my name?"

Chapter 4. Rose's Surrender

Rose was also a little nervous at this moment. She was quite confident in her ability to hide, but Levi saw through her presence so easily, which made her feel scared. This showed that the difference in strength between the two was too great, so she could not hide in front of Levi.

"You know me?" Rose asked warily.

Li Wei said, "Of course, because I killed Vega. Before I killed him, I read some of his memories and saw some scenes, so I know some things related to you."

Rose walked up to Levi. She knew that if Levi wanted to kill her, it would be very easy. Rather than acting cowardly, she might as well be bolder. Even if she died, she wouldn't die too pathetically.

What surprised Rose even more was that Levi, who had just dealt with Abel and Guile, showed no intention of killing her, which she found somewhat unbelievable.

After all, the two sides are on opposing sides, and people from opposing sides will fight to the death when they meet, so this situation seems quite abnormal to her.

"So, what do you want?" Rose asked.

The Li Wei before her was someone whose fate could not be discerned by her "soul magic." If she tried to explore him further, she would feel a chill run down her spine. If she did so, something bad would definitely happen, and she would pay a huge price.

That's why Rose only dared to use words to get information out of Li Wei, unlike when she was with other people, where she could play the role of a charlatan. Li Wei's nature was just too special, so special that she felt immense pressure just being around him. She felt that everything about her was laid bare before him, that she no longer had any secrets, and that feeling was very unpleasant.

"It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask you, have you thought about your future?" Li Wei said with a smile.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Rose asked warily.

"Do you have a way to avoid being eliminated?" Li Wei asked.

Rose hesitated for a moment, then said, "The outcome is still undecided. The winning side might just be my side."

Li Wei said, "You said it yourself, maybe, which means you're not entirely confident that your side will win in the end. In fact, with me here, your side has virtually no chance of winning right now."

Rose could sense that Levi wasn't lying; he had absolute confidence in his abilities, which was why he said such a thing. But it seemed absurd to her. Could Levi alone really stand against the entire opposing force? She dismissed the thought; she couldn't comprehend such a thing.

Li Wei said, "If you're just a simple optimist, then it's time to think about how to avoid being erased. After all, you're not just a person anymore. According to Vega's memories, I know you also have an apprentice named Menette in this space. She was a very lovely girl, and it's such a pity that she was erased like this."

Rose's expression was somewhat grim. Menette was arguably her Achilles' heel. She and Vega had once been fellow disciples, with Vega having come to her village to study under a master. The two had learned about the spirit and soul under the same teacher. Later, Vega's evil ambitions were exposed, and the now powerful Vega slaughtered the entire village, killing everyone except her.

Vega didn't kill her; he wanted to use her as a reserve of his spiritual energy, which is why she survived. After breaking free from Vega's control, she wandered the world, telling fortunes and working as a professional fortune teller.

Later, when she passed through Egypt, she met a very talented little girl. Being all alone, she saw her past self in the little girl, so she took the little girl with her and taught her carefully. This little girl was Menette.

Menette, who was born with spiritual energy, was regarded as a monster by the locals before she met her, just as she was regarded as a monster by the locals before she was adopted by her teacher when she was a child.

This little girl, now grown up, has become a beautiful young woman. She is also her only family member and her only weakness.

Thinking of the cruel fate that Menette was about to face, Rose gritted her teeth. This was not the first time she had felt so powerless. The more she peered into fate, the more she realized that many things were simply unchangeable, just like her and Menette's fate.

“I can save you,” Li Wei said.

Rose was surprised because when Levi said those words, her and Menette's fate changed. Originally, they would both be eliminated at the end of the trial, but now she saw a brand new future, a bright future where she and Menette could both survive.

The thought that her fate could be changed by someone's words filled Rose with bitterness. No matter where you are, the world is cruel. The strong can control the fate of the weak at will, and the weak have no chance of success even if they want to resist.

Her own fate and that of her disciple Menette were in the hands of the man before her. Although the image was blurry, she was certain that she and Menette had indeed survived.

“I believe you, I will call Menette over,” Rose said.

Now it was Li Wei's turn to ask questions. He had only just begun, and hadn't even started the whole prepared script yet, but Rose had already believed him. This gave him the feeling that "I haven't even used my strength, and you've already collapsed."

Rose said, "Since you have seen Vega's memories, you also know that I can see the future to a certain extent. I saw fragments of the future, although they were very blurry, but Menette and I survived and were having a great time. We were even sunbathing on the beach. This is truly an incredible future."

Compared to the fate of being wiped out that she had seen before, the current change is like going straight from hell to heaven. This huge contrast makes it impossible for her to remain calm. Now, the way she looks at Li Wei has changed. In this space that is like a gladiatorial arena, there is actually someone from another faction who sincerely wants to save her. This thing has undoubtedly had a huge impact on her heart.

Li Wei said, "Since you've already seen the future, I don't need to waste my breath. Now, let's have Menette come over."

Rose nodded. Although she was quite confident in her own strength and could protect herself as long as she didn't encounter a few top experts, this kind of dangerous place was full of uncertainty. Even staying for a second longer was dangerous. Therefore, getting Menette out of danger as quickly as possible was her most important task right now.

Chapter 44. Menette

Rose followed in Levi's footsteps. The journey was very peaceful, with no spider monsters to stop her. She felt as if she were taking a walk.

Li Wei gave a brief self-introduction, and Rose addressed him directly as "Sir." Although the title was a bit formal, Li Wei was used to being looked up to by others, so he didn't mind the way it was addressed.

The two people saw Menette in the kitchen of a fast food restaurant. She was wearing a cool Egyptian-style dress and an apron and was frying chicken.

Upon seeing his master Rose, Menette quickly threw away what he was holding.

"Menette, I've told you so many times, eat less fried chicken, it's bad for your health." Rose sighed, looking at her embarrassing apprentice with a French fry still in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"I haven't even started eating yet!" Menette quickly chewed the fries and swallowed them.

Menette looked at Li Wei beside her master. The tall and handsome Li Wei was incredibly attractive to a girl of Menette's age. The moment she saw Li Wei, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

Rose felt helpless looking at her apprentice's silly expression. Menette was very talented in mental magic, but she was only ten years old and not very mature, so she often appeared naughty and childish.

Of course, from a man's perspective, Menette's personality is seen as innocent and adorable. For men who are obsessed with looks, there's always something to praise about a pretty girl. But if an unattractive girl had Menette's personality, she'd only be criticized for lacking self-awareness.
