Ming Aoshuang had a look of utter despair, leaving Aya unsure of how to comfort her.

After all, writing on a young girl's back like that was truly despicable.

Though words were also stamped on the faces of prisoners, Ming Aoshuang wasn't a prisoner, but a companion.

Aya even felt like an accomplice, unworthy to comfort the victim.

"Did you... succeed?"

Ming Aoshuang slowly turned her head to look at Aya, asking in a low voice, "Did you find out how to leave?"

"I'm sorry!"

Aya shook her head, saying apologetically.

Ming Aoshuang appeared completely dazed, tears quickly streaming down her cheeks: "So I suffered for nothing... Having words written on my back for nothing?"

"No, it wasn't for nothing!"

Fang Zhou suddenly spoke up, saying seriously to Ming Aoshuang, "Your sacrifice wasn't entirely in vain. At least we know now that the bird cannot be trusted, thanks to you."

Plus, it allowed me to complete the task. You, this ice sculpture, did have some use.

Seeing Fang Zhou still making sarcastic comments, Ming Aoshuang's eyes were instantly filled with rage.

She abruptly stood up, yelling at Fang Zhou, "It's all your fault. I suffered so much and you wrote on my back, yet it was all useless. You even have the nerve to make sarcastic comments. You shameless beast!"

It's hard to believe that this usually silent and reserved ice sculpture could shout out so many words like a shrew.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this, but I won't admit I was wrong. It's all for freedom."

"Why am I the only one sacrificing for freedom?"

Because you're the weakest, who else should sacrifice if not you?

Fang Zhou answered solemnly, "I said it before, because the bird is within you. If it were me, I'd be willing to do the same! If you feel wronged, come hit me to vent. I won't fight back."

Saying this, Fang Zhou opened his arms, striking a pose as if ready to take the blow.

"You think I don't dare?"

Ming Aoshuang's eyes flashed with fierceness as she charged at Fang Zhou, throwing a punch with all her might.

She initially aimed for his face, but thought better of it... hmm... and decided to hit his stomach instead.

Bam!

The punch landed on Fang Zhou's stomach. Seeing that he indeed had no intention of resisting or dodging, a metaphorical fire seemed to ignite in Ming Aoshuang's eyes.

She began frantically swinging fists and kicking at Fang Zhou. With her True Qi restrained and unable to use any spells or even draw her Qingshuang Sword, Ming Aoshuang could only vent her accumulated anxiety and anger this way.

Fang Zhou let Ming Aoshuang hit him freely, having already reduced her strength by ninety percent. Coupled with his own physical strength exceeding one hundred in all dimensions and the defense of his Mirage Dragon Robe, Ming Aoshuang's full-force attacks were nothing more than a massage to him.

What seemed like a fierce assault was, in reality, just a massage session for Fang Zhou.

He simply closed his eyes, quietly reciting the "Lucky Emperor Declaration" in his mind, and proceeded to draw the reward's purple card.

It had been so long since he'd drawn a card that Fang Zhou's luck had accumulated to a truly terrifying level.

As the spinning purple card shattered, it emitted a dazzling golden light; the Golden Legend arrived as expected.

Now seeing a Golden Legend, Fang Zhou remained calm, no longer as excited as when he first saw it.

The broken light finally condensed into the image of an envelope.

[Demon Invitation: A demon from the Abyss invites you to join the battlefield, refining yourself through killing and battle. Killing enemies will yield special rewards. Cooldown time: 10 days. Note: Extremely dangerous, proceed with caution]

He actually drew a special item.

Fang Zhou urgently needed a reward to help him leave this dreadful place, but ended up drawing this instead.

Turns out, all the luck went into the Golden Legend, but a Golden Legend isn't necessarily a good thing.

Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes, finding that Ming Aoshuang, who was just giving him a massage, had already retreated to a distance, sitting on the ground hugging her knees, looking completely despondent.

"What's wrong with her?"

Fang Zhou asked Aya, wondering why she ran off in the middle of the massage.

Aya shook her head, feeling only pity for this girl who ran into him.

"I'm so stupid~~"

Ming Aoshuang muttered to herself, hugging her knees.

After finishing her punches, she realized her strength had been diminished, unable to cause Fang Zhou any pain. All the grievances she vented came rushing back to haunt her.

Additionally, having been toyed with by Fang Zhou like a monkey and having words written on her back earlier made her feel her intelligence had been insulted and trampled, leaving her completely desolate.

Fang Zhou vaguely guessed why Ming Aoshuang was like this, and after commenting "glass heart," he left her be.

The Demon Invitation was in Fang Zhou's mind, and he only needed to tap it to accept the invitation and enter the Abyss Battlefield.

Gaining special rewards by defeating enemies intrigued Fang Zhou, but the warning of extreme danger and the advice to choose carefully triggered his cautious nature, making him hesitant.

After careful consideration, Fang Zhou decided to accept the invitation.

With the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix clearly refusing to cooperate, the only way to leave was to figure out how to use the Heavenly Repair Stone or learn the art of Qimen Dunjia.

Both methods required a lot of time and luck, so Fang Zhou needed to try more possibilities.

He planned to check out the special rewards after defeating enemies. If they weren't valuable, he'd leave immediately.

As he tapped the invitation, Fang Zhou felt his vision darken, as if being thrown into a spinning dryer.

"No way, you're doing this again?!"

Caught off guard, Fang Zhou yelled that familiar cry.

After the familiar dizziness and nausea passed, Fang Zhou came to his senses, discovering himself lying in a desolate wasteland of withered grass and trees.

The sky was a heavy leaden gray, with a celestial body hanging above that was impossible to determine as either a black sun or a black hole, gigantic and hollow, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Simultaneously, a flood of information surged into Fang Zhou's mind.

This was an unknown Abyss Ancient Battlefield, full of monsters roaming the battlefield. Clearing these monsters was the invitee's responsibility.

Defeating monsters provided special rewards, and vanquishing a certain number would allow departure.

Each monster carried the Abyss Aura, which would taint those who came into contact.

Once contamination exceeded one hundred percent, one would also turn into a monster, forever trapped here.

There were a few springs capable of purifying the Abyss Aura on the battlefield, but they were guarded by many powerful monsters, extremely dangerous.

Fang Zhou felt a chill down his spine, realizing the seriousness behind the danger warning on the invitation.

Just as he was about to look further, an intense sense of danger surged into his heart.
