Douluo Continent: My name is Lu Mingfei, and my martial soul is Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

A gift?

How to give it as a gift?

Can this thing really be given as a gift?

"Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing," Wang Dong said.

"I can guarantee your safety for life, allowing you to live a carefree life on the Douluo Continent."

He paused, his tone becoming more seductive.

"Not only that, I can also grant you the position of a divine servant. Do you know what a divine servant is? It's an opportunity that countless people would kill for. If you just nod, you will gain eternal life and escape the cycle of mortal reincarnation."

Lu Mingfei looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Wang Dong raised an eyebrow: "That's all."

"Shall I say a few words too?"

"Please go ahead."

Lu Mingfei cleared his throat and put on a very serious expression.

"This great...god? What you say makes a lot of sense and is very tempting. A lifetime of peace, a position as a servant of the gods, immortality—these things do sound amazing."

He paused.

"But, you know, I have a problem."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't like others making decisions for me," Lu Mingfei said.

"I want to walk my own path in life. Even if I stumble and fall, even if I end up shattered to pieces, it's still my own choice."

He smiled.

"So, I appreciate your kindness. But I cannot give you this ability."

Wang Dong narrowed his eyes.

Do you know the consequences of rejecting me?

"I don't know," Lu Mingfei said, "but I do know that if I agree today, I won't be myself anymore."

"But in order to survive, so I..."

Wang Dong smiled.

"Very good, you know a lot..."

Lu Mingfei interrupted him.

"I refuse."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Wang Dong's smile froze on his face, and his eyes turned dangerous.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I refuse," Lu Mingfei repeated.

"Is that not allowed?"

Wang Dong stared at him for a long time, then slowly nodded.

"Okay, very good."

He flexed his fingers, making a clicking sound.

"A path to certain death has already been chosen!"

He raised his right hand, and a ball of black light condensed in his palm.

The light grew increasingly solid, eventually transforming into a pitch-black hammer.

The hammer was engraved with intricate patterns, exuding a chilling aura.

Lu Mingfei looked at the hammer and his heart skipped a beat.

Haotian Hammer?

Is that the Haotian Hammer?!

In the Douluo Continent, the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one weapon spirit in the world. It is the inherited spirit of the Clear Sky Sect and the spirit of Tang San, the ancestor of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, ten thousand years ago.

Those who can wield the Haotian Hammer are all top-tier experts.

The fact that "Wang Dong" can summon the Haotian Hammer at will shows what?

Either Wang Dong is a descendant of the Haotian Sect, or the old man possessing him in front of him is ridiculously strong.

Lu Mingfei's legs started shaking again.

This time, I really couldn't control myself.

"This is your last chance." Wang Dong said calmly, holding up the Haotian Hammer.

Give me your abilities, and I'll guarantee your lifelong safety; otherwise...

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard, his mind racing.

What should I do?

What to do?!

Just then, Lu Mingze's voice rang out again.

"Brother, do you need a cheat?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically.

"We need it! We need it right away!"

"There will be a price to pay."

"Sure, sure! Any price is fine!"

"A quarter of a life."

"No, no, you can't."

Lu Mingfei answered without thinking, responding immediately upon hearing the order, but then froze completely—even though he was already unable to move.

A quarter of a life?

"Could you give me a discount?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"No discount," Lu Mingze said.

"Can I pay in installments?"

No installments.

"Then can I...?"

"cannot."

Lu Mingfei: "..."

How did you know what I was going to say?

"Brother, do you want it or not?" Lu Mingze asked. "If you don't want it, I'm leaving. You can talk to this big shot yourself. Anyway, it doesn't look like he'll kill you."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the Haotian Hammer in Wang Dong's hand, then looked at his own thin frame.

If that hammer blow lands, he'll probably be turned into a meat patty.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth.

"One-quarter it is! Give it to me!"

"Okay."

Lu Mingze's tone suddenly became cheerful.

"However..."

"But what?"

"But this time, you can try it out, brother."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

Experience?

What does that mean?

"It's just for you to use first, no charge," Lu Mingze said.

"Consider it customer feedback."

Lu Mingfei looked completely bewildered.

You have such a kind heart?

Were you switched with someone else?

"Don't look at me like that," Lu Mingze said. "Although I'm a businessman, I still have a conscience."

"You have no conscience whatsoever!"

"Brother, if you keep scolding me, I won't give it to you anymore."

"No, no, no! You have a conscience! You have the best conscience of all! You have the best conscience in the entire universe!"

Lu Mingze smiled with satisfaction.

"Are you ready?"

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

"Ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingfei felt something welling up from deep within his body.

It wasn't the warm current he felt before, but a powerful force, like a flood bursting its banks, that instantly filled his entire body.

His eyes began to burn.

It's not the kind of hot that's uncomfortable, but a hot that's full of power.

It felt like something was burning in my eyes.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand and found that his hand was glowing slightly.

It wasn't the light of soul power, but a golden light.

A brilliant gold color.

The next second, a terrifying aura erupted from him.

Wang Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively took several steps back.

He looked down at his hands and found them trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, but rather being overwhelmed by that aura.

"This..." Wang Dong raised his head and stared intently at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei stood still, his entire body enveloped in golden light.

His eyes turned gold, with a brilliant yellow light flowing through his pupils, like two burning suns.

The whole world seemed to fall silent at that moment.

Even the frozen gray world seemed to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei also turned into color.

He could sense everything around him, not through the Kamaitachi, but through some higher-level power.

He could even sense the terrifying power within Wang Dong, and the power behind it...

Something he couldn't understand.

"Is this... the feeling of power?" Lu Mingfei murmured to himself.

He had never felt this power before.

A power that reigns supreme.

Then my connection with my body felt slightly disrupted, and my body seemed to be somewhat out of control.

"At the crossroads of fate, which way to go?"

Lu Mingfei's voice wasn't loud, but every word resonated like a booming bell in the gray world.

The shock was so great that even Wang Dong's soul trembled slightly.

Lu Mingfei raised his head, his golden eyes staring directly at Wang Dong.

"You insignificant ant, what outrageous thing do you intend to do to me, the king?"
