After tidying up his sorrowful emotions, Ye Haochen once again applied to the Great King Master, "Master, please set the question."
Great King Master said: "Alright, I will now answer the second question."
Ye Haochen could not help but be taken aback, and anxiously asked: "What? Isn't there still a first question? "
Great King Master laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you have already smoothly passed the first exam. This time, our Battle Hero Base have been attacked in an unprecedented way, and the losses are extremely heavy, in this kind of situation, you did not escape by yourself, if not for you, I'm afraid all of us would have died, and that's why you have become the fully deserving Dragon Hero.
Ye Haochen finally understood what was going on.
Then, he heard the Great King Master say: "The second question is easier said than done, but harder said, more so. Master wants you to kill the other 12."
Hearing that, Ye Haochen could not help but be shocked, "What, master, you want to say it again?"
Great King Master said word by word: "You did not hear wrongly, what I meant was for you to kill the other twelve brothers.
I said it before, survival of the fittest, only the truly strong can survive. "
Ye Haochen said angrily: "Are you crazy? How can there be a master like you? I would never attack my own brothers. "
Great King Master laughed coldly and said: "Hehe, this is simply pedantic. In this world, there is no such thing as an eternal brother, nor is there an eternal enemy. One day, when your brother becomes your enemy, you will also not hold back.
Ye Haochen left angrily, walked out of the Great King Master's room and sat on the cliff alone.
On one hand, he couldn't let go of the Grandma Wu in his family, and on the other hand, he couldn't hurt his other brothers. If he were to just leave like this, he wouldn't be able to pass the test in his heart.
However, he was well aware of one thing. He would never lay his hands on his own brothers.
When Ye Haochen returned to the training camp, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The other 12 brothers had lined up in a row and were looking at him with respect.
Very quickly, a loud laughter came out from within the tent. Then, Great King Master walked out and said to Ye Haochen: "My good disciple, congratulations, you have passed the second round."
Looking at Ye Haochen's stupefied expression, Great King Master explained with a smile: "The content of the second trial is to test whether or not you will betray your own brothers. As for you, you would rather sacrifice your freedom and happiness than make a move on your own brothers.
Only then did Ye Haochen know the truth. Originally, he had resented the Great King Master quite a lot, but he never thought that he would misunderstand his.
All of the brothers looked at Ye Haochen with smiles on their faces as they greeted him. There was only one final test left, and that was to pass the third trial.
On the second day, Great King Master finally revealed his third test. His requirement was for Ye Haochen to not use any martial arts or tools, and not even a single strand of internal energy. Under these circumstances, he had to climb up the cliff with his bare hands, which was located 500 meters to the south of Training Base.
Previously, when their brothers were training, they went to that cliff face and knew that the bottom of the cliff was bottomless and filled with miasma. Moreover, at night, they could hear the roars of beasts coming from the bottom of the cliff.
Previously, when Ye Haochen and his brothers were training, they had seen the dangers of that cliff. However, when they were training, they had all kinds of supporting tools, as well as the possibility of using martial arts and inner force. But this time, Great King Master's requirement was actually to not use any tools, martial arts, or inner force, and had him climb up the cliff and pick the Lingzhi with his bare hands.
Putting aside the fact that the sheer cliff was too dangerous and it was not easy to climb, just the miasma alone was enough to make him pass out and die. This was simply an impossible mission to complete.
When Ye Haochen obtained this mission, he could not help but be shocked.
His other brothers also lamented over the injustice that Ye Haochen had suffered. It was simply impossible to accomplish it, and this simply caused Ye Haochen to throw his life away.
However, the word "renounce" had never been in Ye Haochen's dictionary. Since this was an agreement with his master, he had to fulfill it. In any case, there was only one last question left, and that was why he was really going to climb up the cliff with his bare hands.
However, the cliff wall was extremely steep. Without any tools and skills, it was impossible for him to successfully climb the cliff. He probed a dozen times, and almost fell into a bottomless abyss every time.
Even so, Ye Haochen did not give up. His entire body was drenched in sweat and his hands and soles of his feet were bleeding. In the past, when he was training, he did not easily bleed but this time, it was too difficult.
This was an impossible task.
However, Ye Haochen did not expect that the 12 brothers would suddenly rush over, standing in a row, one by one they shouted out together: "Dragon Hero, we will help you, come, brothers, let us form the history's strongest human meat rope!"
While Ye Haochen was dumbstruck and deeply moved, he saw 12 brothers holding hands and holding hands, forming a 30 metre long human skin rope. One must know, even if one of these brothers couldn't hold on, they would all fall into the abyss, but in order to help Ye Haochen fulfil his wish, they actually didn't hesitate to take such huge risks, which made Ye Haochen very moved in his heart.
Ye Haochen said solemnly: "Brothers, thank you!"
Soon after, Ye Haochen held onto the meat rope formed by the 12 brothers, and slowly descended. He finally picked up the millennium lingzhi that was around 30 metres away from the cliff.
Doing so wasn't a violation of the rules, all Master said was, you can't use any tools, you can't use martial arts or internal force, the rope made from human flesh shouldn't be considered a tool.
When the thirteen brothers, carrying the thousand year old lingzhi, stood in front of the Great King Master, the Great King Master smiled and nodded his head. His gaze fell on all of them and then laughed out loud: "This stage is a test for all of you.
You have to know, this time, for the sake of the Dragon Hero, you are willing to risk your life. This is what a brother is.
As for my disciples, perhaps you would think that I am a heartless person, but I will tell you, my heart is not a stone, I also have feelings.
I will tell you all, this is not a betrayal, but ascension. They are watching you from heaven, from the Battle Owl to the Death Owl, so from today onwards, you all must accept your new identity, you all are Thirteen Death Heroes! "
It was on that day that the thirteen disciples finally understood the meaning behind "Thirteen Death Heroes". They had changed their names, and they were not betraying each other, but living for their fallen brothers.
As a result, the K of Spades became the Dragon Hero, and the other 12 disciples were named after the Twelve Birds of Life. However, what the Great King Master was trying to tease was that he wanted to add a fish to the Twelve Zodiac Temples, so there was a fish owl within the Thirteen Death Heroes.
That was because the Fish Owl was the only female out of the thirteen surviving disciples. Brothers would often say: Why don't I give you a code name, called the Mermaid?
Just like this, the Thirteen Battle Heroes became the Thirteen Death Heroes. However, even though Ye Haochen had become the Dragon Hero, it was also the beginning of his departure from the organization. He had smoothly passed three examinations, so the Great King Master would naturally allow him to leave.
Some of the more emotional brothers even secretly wiped away their tears. After three years of being together, they would never be able to forget about it, but they were more willing to bless Dragon Hero to have a new beginning.
They all said to the Dragon Hero: "Don't forget, we will always be brothers."
Dragon Hero said goodbye to each of his brothers, and walked in front of Yu Xiao at the end, saying jokingly: "You, don't go to our China ever again, we don't have any fish. If you want to tell us where you came from, I'm afraid other people will laugh their teeth off."
Only, at that time, Ye Haochen did not realize that Yu Xiao had been crying. Behind the mask, she was crying and crying at the same time.
Unfortunately, after getting along with him for so long, the Dragon Hero had never seen the true face of Yu Xiao, the mermaid. If he had seen it earlier, perhaps his life would have been different.
From beginning to end, all of them wore masks.
That was also the first time he addressed the Great Master as the King of Dead Owls. He saluted the army and said to the King of Dead Owls: "Master, oh no, King of Dead Owls, disciple Dragon Hero bids farewell to you!"
The Dead Owl King had his back facing Dragon Hero, his voice trembling, but his aura did not diminish. "Master understands."
Ye Haochen would never forget that scene. He could hear that Master was crying, but he didn't want to be so sad. He even joked: "Hehe, Master, are you crying? "Like a woman."
The Dead Owl King said snappily: "Bullsh * t, your father won't cry, get lost!"
Just like this, Ye Haochen left the Battle Hero Base, and returned to the China.
Now, half a year had already passed. He never would have thought that he would meet one of his good brothers, the Black Peach Mouse, in China, also known as Brother Rat Hero.
