Chapter 360: Passing the Test

　　”Before entering here, you guys need to understand two things.

　　First, once you enter the Shadow Street and successfully find the exit, it means that you will truly become a member of the Shadow Sect, the note is that you have to dedicate all of yourselves to the Flame Kingdom, and you may not be betrayed in your entire life.

　　Another point, all secrets about the Shadow Sect must not be revealed to anyone, otherwise the Shadow Sect has the ability to eradicate all those related to you, I hope you can keep these two points in mind.”

　　Xu Yang and Wushuang noncommittally swept a glance at this shopkeeper before walking towards the depths of this ground door with calm faces.

　　Creaking ……

　　As the direction of the portal closed, the two sides of the underground palace instantly lit up with countless candle flames, this underground palace looked to be quite exquisitely constructed, it was only that the strong smell of decay emanating from within that made Xu Yang and his duo instinctively furrow their brows.

　　”Unexpectedly, the Shadow Sect has actually built its base in the underground of the Flame Country.”

　　Xu Yang and Wushuang had been communicating with their soul transmissions ever since they had entered this underground palace, their souls perfectly matched, allowing the two to exchange thoughts freely without using any mental energy as if they were speaking normally, and without having to worry about being overheard by anyone.

　　The two traveled deeper and deeper, arriving near a puddle of underground water cells.

　　Suddenly, two robot-like organs suddenly drilled out of the pool, and directed at Xu Yang and Wushuang in a frenzy of organ strafing.

　　”Heh, a pediatric trick.”

　　Xu Yang’s mind thought so, but did not manifest 100% of his strength, instead, he confined his intensity to a state that was almost equal to that of the normal Shadow Sect elites, so as not to reveal any cracks.

　　Rumble!

　　Several organ robots in succession crumbled one after another, and Xu Yang and Wushuang continued to go deeper without any danger.

　　Soon, the two of them walked inside a secret room.

　　”Huh?

　　There’s no path?”

　　Looking at the pick-ups along the perimeter of the underground palace, there was absolutely no chance that Xu Yang and Wushuang could have taken any wrong turns on this path, but it was also true that this was the end of the access road.

　　”It can’t be a dead end, there must be hidden organs in, let’s look for them.”

　　The two people moved very tacitly to the two sides of this wall respectively, attaching their ears to go up and knock up, wanting to look for a piece that was a vacuum inside.

　　”Found it!

　　Here!”

　　Xu Yang said, poking a finger in, and sure enough, this stone tile corresponded to a slightly concave inward mechanism.

　　Rumble!

　　The huge iron cable cage smashed down from above their heads, and a single slip of the tongue buckled the two of them, Xu Yang and Wushuang, in the center.

　　A dark curtain of light descended silently, completely blocking the only field of vision the two had, filling their eyes with darkness.

　　However, this was not the end.

　　Soon, Xu Yang could smell a very strong scent in the air, mixed with a special fragrance, that was an aroma that could make a person’s soul stir with emotion.

　　”Not good!”

　　Xu Yang of course realized that the other party was playing some kind of trick, clearly testing the determination of both himself and Wushuang.

　　The two of them sat on their knees almost at the same time, back to back and began to adjust their respective luck, only that this medicinal power was really too strong, even with Xu Yang and Wushuang’s level of cultivation, it seemed to be quite a struggle for them to resist it.

　　As a matter of fact, what they were not aware of was that this kind of medicine, for people with strong cultivation, the effect was rather stronger.

　　This was because top experts like Xu Yang and Wushuang had a very deep physical body base, and the frantic wandering of the blood veins in their bodies would accelerate the full absorption of the medicinal power by the two of them.

　　”Ah Yang, I ……

　　I can’t hold on anymore!

　　It’s so hard for me!”

　　Unbeknownst to Xu Yang, he was also sweating profusely at the moment, unable to break free from this predicament for a while.

　　Almost purely by instinct, although Xu Yang and Wushuang did not make any physical movements, the two of them had a state of soul resonance that was actively linked together at this moment.

　　This, perhaps, was the only way for them to solve the problem ……

　　Until this oppressive force was pushed to the extreme amongst the bloodline, the two of them, in the middle of the soul world, finally broke that layer of confinement, and completely and utterly fused into one ……

　　The familiar scene was once again staged in Xu Yang’s soul world.

　　The difference is that this time, the one who betrayed himself to the summit was not the empress, but was replaced by Wushuang, but the experience brought to him was something that could not be described in words.

　　In a flash, three days and three nights passed.

　　Until the restless power in the body completely disappeared, Xu Yang and Wushuang gradually recovered, reopening their eyes, the air between the two seemed to follow a few points of softness.

　　The black curtain and the outer layer of this black iron-like shackles all disappeared, and a dozen or so assassins wearing black power suits with a powerful aura appeared in front of them.

　　”Welcome to the Shadow Sect.

　　The two of you have unimaginable determination.

　　Originally, the intensity of this final level of the test wasn’t this great at all, it’s all because of that newcomer of ours, who made a mistake with the dosage when dropping the mists, causing the two of you to undergo mental pressure that surpassed the others by a factor of three.

　　It’s fortunate that your feats are insufficient, otherwise if you forcefully suppressed it, you’d be in even greater danger of having your souls crumble.”

　　Xu Yang and Wushuang sucked in a breath of cool air, genuinely a little frightened.

　　After all, with the strength of the two of them, it was no problem for them to be allowed to fight, but when faced with this kind of challenge in terms of instincts, the strength was no matter how strong it was, it would still make people feel helpless.

　　”It’s just that, it’s all in the past.

　　We can understand, after all, the Shadow Sect is the strongest spear of the Flame Country, possessing the responsibility and mission of swaying the destiny of the Flame Country, so the test is naturally going to be a bit tougher.

　　I only wonder, can the two of us be considered to have passed the test now?”

　　This man at the head with a scar on his face nodded in satisfaction.

　　”From today onwards, the two of you will be the head and deputy shadow envoys of the eleventh division, and underneath yourselves, these dozen or so underlings will all unconditionally hand over their lives to you.

　　For your orders, they will only obey, even if they are told to die, they will never have the slightest hesitation!

　　Of course, the same realization will be just as valid for you guys to me, you have to understand that.”

　　Xu Yang and Wushuang glanced at each other and nodded gruffly, “That’s natural.”

　　”Very well.

　　My name is Shadow Eleven, you guys can call me Eleven Senior.

　　From today onwards, the task of your Eleven Team is to be in charge of overseeing and transporting the rations of the entire Flame Country’s army.

　　Of course, next week there will be a martial arts competition for the entire Shadow Sect’s five hundred people, the top ten will become the leading battle generals of the invincible division of the Kingdom of Flame, and it is also the only chance for you to be promoted from being an errand boy in the Kingdom of Flame to an official title, so I hope that you guys can grasp it well, make some achievements, and give us, Team Eleven, some glory!”

　　Xu Yang and Wushuang nodded at the same time.

　　For them, this battle was also very crucial, as long as they could grasp the opportunity, they would be able to infiltrate the core class of the Shadow Sect and learn more secrets.

　　”Don’t worry, Eleventh Elder, the two of us will definitely come out on top in this battle.”
