Chapter 44

The appearance of the Mysterious Figure left Lin Feng, Liu Yan, Xiao Feng, and the others deep in thought. Although he had brought vital intelligence concerning the Dark Forces, everyone still harbored doubts about his true intentions. By this time, Lin Feng had firmly established himself in the late-stage Martial Master realm, possessing profound internal energy and increasingly refined martial techniques; Liu Yan was continuously accumulating experience at the early-stage Martial Master level, and her strength was also steadily rising; Xiao Feng was at the mid-stage Martial Master level, with his combat experience and skills growing more mature by the day. The Mysterious Figure swept his gaze across the group and slowly began to speak, "If you wish to obtain my help, you must pass my test." Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. They knew full well that the road ahead would be fraught with hardship, but in order to fight the Dark Forces and protect the peace of the world, they were willing to accept any challenge. The Mysterious Figure led them to a secluded valley. The valley was surrounded by towering mountains, with steep peaks piercing straight into the clouds. Thick fog shrouded the valley, obscuring the path ahead and acting like a mysterious veil concealing unknown dangers.
