What was Feng Wu doing?0

She was racking her brain with a big frown on her face.

What could it be?

Feng Wu narrowed her eyes, kept her gaze straight forward, and remained motionless.

Just then, an idea seemed to strike her for a brief moment, but it flashed by so fast that by the time Feng Wu realized it, it was gone.

Feng Wu tried very hard to think, but she just couldn't recall it.

Thump, thump, thump —

Just then, they heard the loud noise of a beating heart.

"What's that?"

They turned in the direction of the sound and saw a red heart behind them.

It was only the size of a baby's fist, but the sound it made was very loud.

"Where did that heart come from? Was it there before?"

"Listen. It's beating forcibly."

"Hey, don't you think that it's expanding?"

"It is! It was only the size of a baby's fist just then, but it's the size of an adult fist now."

"And it's growing as we speak!"

"Why do I have a bad feeling? Why does my heart feel like it's going to explode?"

…

Feng Wu was the first to figure it out.

"If I've guessed correctly, it's a timer." Feng Wu took a deep breath. "We'll fail this trial when that heart explodes."

Feng Xun said, "So if it explodes…"

Feng Wu said, "It'll mean that we've lost."

And the consequence would be…

Everyone's pupils contracted as they looked at the growing heart.

It wasn't a sign of life. It was the herald of death!

Crack —

The daggers had gathered together by now.

Every 100 blades combined into a sword.

Whoosh!

A sword charged at them.

And it was several times more powerful than the daggers.

It cut Feng Xun's arm open, the wound so deep that everybody could see bone.

Seeing this, Dugu Yamo was filled with despair.

"Oh no, I'm really going to die this time!

"Feng Liu, I'll never forgive you!"

Whoosh —

As more swords charged at them, Feng Xun was covered in more and more cuts.

He wasn't alone. Xuan Yi and Jun Linyun were injured as well.

Dugu Yamo, Feng Yiran, and Feng Sang all had cuts on them, and their clothes were stained with blood.

Feng Sang stared jealously at Feng Wu!

Shielded by Feng Xun, Xuan Yi, and Jun Linyun, Feng Wu was unscathed.

Not only wasn't she hurt, she didn't need to do anything.

Feng Sang bellowed, "Feng Wu, how long are you going to hide behind them? Aren't you supposed to be so awesome? Didn't you say that you were going to get us out of here? What are you doing now? Are you going to hide behind them forever? You're shameless!"

Dugu Yamo looked at Feng Wu and smirked. "She's always bragging about herself. Do you actually expect her to control these daggers?"
