Chapter 221 Black-Level Three Tests

At this moment, Tang Nian was not the only one who looked shocked; Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong behind her were also stunned.

Zhu Zhuqing today is completely different from when she first arrived at Shrek Academy.

All the misunderstandings that once stood between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai have long since vanished, and their hearts are now closely connected, understanding each other perfectly.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had already acknowledged from the bottom of her heart that she was Dai Mubai's fiancée.

She walked briskly forward, reached out and tightly grasped Dai Mubai's hand from behind, her face full of worry.

After noticing Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Dai Mubai slowly turned around and gave her a gentle, comforting look.

However, at that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes instantly turned red, with tears welling up in them, but she quickly lowered her head, afraid that the people around her would see her in such a vulnerable state.

Unbeknownst to her, Dai Mubai had taken deep root in Zhu Zhuqing's heart, occupying the most important place.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing could not imagine what it would be like to lose Dai Mubai; it would undoubtedly be an apocalyptic disaster for her.

Seeing this scene, Tang Nian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable bitterness in her heart, a feeling that made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Admittedly, she desperately needs everyone's help, but that does not mean she is willing to stand by and watch Dai Mubai fall into any danger because of her.

Then, a resolute look appeared on Tang Nian's delicate face. Her eyes were like torches, fixed on Haier in front of her, as if she wanted to convey her unwavering belief with her eyes.

She straightened her back, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists, and spoke in an unusually calm and solemn tone, "I don't want them to accompany me to this first test. I intend to face the challenge alone. As for the Eight Sacred Pillars test that follows, there's no need to continue. Please escort them all safely out of this place."

Upon hearing this, Haier frowned slightly, and his usually calm face now showed a hint of seriousness and confusion.

He gazed at the seemingly frail yet incredibly stubborn woman before him, and asked in a low and serious voice, "Inheritor, are you really sure you want to do this? I must be frank with you, although the danger of failing the test is indeed immense, if you succeed, you will gain an unprecedented boost in power, and may even become as powerful as the guardians of our Eight Sacred Pillars."

Tang Nian knew how strong the guardians of the Eight Sacred Pillars were; they were all Title Douluo-level powerhouses. Although it was indeed very tempting, Tang Nian believed that given time, even without the test of the God of Hell, Dai Mubai could reach that level on his own, and he wouldn't need to face such a life-or-death test at all.

However, despite Haier's earnest persuasion, Tang Nian shook her head vigorously without hesitation.

Her long, lustrous, deep blue hair swayed gently with her movements, like silk dancing in the wind. Tang Nian took a deep breath and said slowly, "No need, Lord Haier. I am well aware of the risks and difficulties involved, but I also know that if my personal pursuits put my friends in such a dangerous situation, it would be irresponsible to them and a desecration of the deep friendship between us."

In Tang Nian's heart, the people from Shrek Academy were no longer just friends.

They fought side by side, grew together, and went through countless trials and tribulations together.

Now, even if the fierce and brutal Netherworld Serpent King awaits Tang Nian ahead, even if she may die at any moment, Tang Nian will never let them accompany her on this adventure.

However, compared to dragging everyone down with her, she would rather die alone. After all, death was nothing to Tang Nian; she had already died once before. She was just reluctant to part with everything she had in Douluo Continent.

However, deep down, Tang Nian could not accept watching anyone from Shrek Academy die before her eyes; she absolutely would not allow that to happen.

Just then, Haier casually fiddled with the exquisite ring on his thumb and said in an indifferent tone, "Inheritor, please think this over carefully. Admittedly, your strength is outstanding, I fully acknowledge that. However, it can be said that you have no chance of winning against the Netherworld Serpent King on your own."

After saying that, Haier's gaze swept over Dai Mubai and the people behind him, and then he continued unhurriedly, "However, if we can include them in the battle, the situation might be different."

In fact, Haier did not take these close friends mentioned by Tang Nian seriously when they first met them.

After all, geniuses like Tang Nian, who possess extraordinary talent, are extremely rare.

However, after witnessing firsthand the test that the Eight Sacred Pillars conducted on Dai Mubai, Haier couldn't help but be secretly astonished.

Of the ten people who passed that arduous and dark test, eight have already successfully become guardians of the Eight Sacred Pillars.

Their formidable strength is self-evident. More importantly, Yama's high expectations for Dai Mubai far exceeded Haier's original imagination.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Whether for the sake of Yama or for his own sake, Haier wanted Dai Mubai to stay. He wanted to see just how strong these people really were.

Just then, upon hearing this, Tang Nian did not hesitate for a moment. Instead, she shook her head firmly and said, "Lord Haier, please make sure to send them out of here."

Upon hearing this, Haier was slightly taken aback, clearly surprised by Tang Nian's resolute attitude.

After hesitating for a moment, he stared directly at Tang Nian, as if trying to see through her eyes to understand her inner thoughts.

However, after a long while, Hale finally loosened his clenched teeth and said softly, "Although according to the rules here, he has now participated in the trial of the Eight Sacred Pillars and should not be allowed to leave this place, since you are the inheritor, I will do my best to fulfill your request. Please wait a moment, and Natasha will send them away from here unharmed and safe."

Hearing Haier's words, Tang Nian, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Haier with gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Haier."
