The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

The masked girl's face revealed a hint of sadness, not expecting that the young man would still die in front of her.

"Hmph, since he chose death, then you can remain alive!" the General said with a trace of frustration: "Next!"

Daphne stepped forward, unlike the masked girl, she knew this was a test. Although she didn't want to kill, to inherit the Divine Sword, she had to harden her heart.

"After all, everything here is fake!" Daphne comforted herself in her heart: "Even if they die, it's not a big deal, right?"

With this thought, Daphne came to the third young man.

"Didn't expect it to be you who would kill me!" Unexpectedly, the third young man was not afraid nor hateful, but simply said: "Kill me. Everything I did was for the holy war! Even if I die, I will be together with countless like-minded comrades! Death is not the end for me, but a relief!"

Daphne was stunned. She didn't expect the young man to say such words, and through the young man's eyes, she found him very calm, a calmness that was a bit frightening!

Daphne hesitated, wanting to swing her sword to kill him, but his calmness towards death shocked her greatly! How firm must one's faith be to be so indifferent to death?

"Rookie, what are you waiting for? Kill him!" At this point, the General's impatient voice came again: "You rookies, can't you give me a break!"

Daphne gritted her teeth, secretly saying in her heart: "I'm sorry!"

Then she raised her long sword, the long sword fell, and the young man's head flew up, drawing an arc in the air before landing with a thud.

Daphne felt as if all her strength had been drained, her heart felt blocked, as if wanting to vent something but unable to.

"It's your turn, rookie!" the General looked at Ling Feng and said: "I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Ling Feng remained silent, picked up the sword, walked forward, looked at the last young man, and said flatly: "If you have something to say, say it now!"

The young man spoke in a low voice: "I have nothing to say. All my relatives died on this battlefield. I don't want to live anymore! Kill me so we can reunite in Hell, and consider it as your merit!"

The young man clenched his fists: "You will never understand the pain of seeing your parents die in front of you while being powerless! Kill me and free me, I'm begging you!"

Ling Feng's gaze moved slightly, then he calmly said: "Alright, I'll set you free!"

Then Ling Feng waved his hand, plunging the long sword into the young man's chest. The young man looked up with a trace of shock, seemingly not understanding why Ling Feng's action was so swift and decisive!

"Not bad, now you all count as rookies who've seen blood!" The General looked at the four of them and smiled: "Now I have a task for you. This task is very challenging, and you must ensure its completion!"

Daphne said solemnly: "Yes!"

But apart from her, no one else spoke. The Western man hadn't recovered from the previous scene. The masked girl stood indifferently to the side, seemingly uninterested in the task.

As for Ling Feng, he curiously looked at the General, seemingly contemplating something.

"Did you three hear clearly?" the General barked again: "We just had a major victory, but there are people slandering us at the rear. Your task is to deliver this letter to the emperor, explaining everything that happened, and put an end to those conspiracies!"

The General's hand held a letter, sealed with a stamp.

The letter landed in Daphne's hand, and she tightly grasped it, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"Alright, no time to lose, you need to set off immediately! I hope you reach the nearest town before sunset; otherwise, the night in the Asura Field is very dangerous!" the General said with ill intentions.

The four of them left the battlefield, heading in the direction indicated on the map. The map was given to them by the General, who said that following the marked path would lead them to the Imperial Capital the fastest.

"Daphne, I think there's something strange about this!" On the trail, Ling Feng said seriously to Daphne.

Daphne was taken aback: "Strange? What do you mean by strange?"

"From the killing test earlier to the letter-delivering task now, don't you feel something's off somewhere?" Ling Feng asked.

"What's off?" the Western man looked displeased at Ling Feng. Although he knew Ling Feng was the Blood-Handed Asura, one of the Eight War Gods in the Underworld, he also knew that in Daphne's heart, there was always a shadow of someone, and that person was Ling Feng!

As the leader of the Round Table Knights, Daphne was admired and loved by many Knights, but Ling Feng continued to hurt Daphne's heart, which made the Western man very angry.

Ling Feng disdainfully glanced at the Western man but didn't reply to him and said: "I suspect this letter-delivery task is not as easy as it seems. It could very well be a trap?"

"A trap?" Daphne blinked and said: "What do you mean?"

"In the killing test, we had to kill four people, but these four had different reactions!" Ling Feng said calmly: "And if I'm not mistaken, when facing the one you had to kill, didn't you feel a bit hesitant? Or couldn't bear to do it?"

Daphne was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Ling Feng said calmly: "I suspect the reactions of these four people were actually reflections of our inner selves! They revealed the most vulnerable parts of our hearts to disturb our minds."

Ling Feng's suspicion was not unfounded. From the moment that young man mentioned his parents dying in front of him, Ling Feng had sensed something!

Because what that young man said was precisely the past that Ling Feng had always been unwilling to face!

"Isn't that expected?" Daphne said: "As a test, it's meant to make us overcome our inner selves, isn't it?"

"A test? I think that's the biggest problem, isn't it?" Ling Feng said seriously: "If it's really supposed to test us, then why let us remember it's a test?"

The Western man became furious: "What do you mean by that, why remember it's a test? Who do you think you are!"

But at this time, both Daphne and the masked girl couldn't help but show a look of understanding. They understood what Ling Feng meant.

If it were truly a test, then only in a natural state would they show their true selves, and the fact that they remember it's a test indicates there's something wrong there.
