Chapter 3551: An Abnormality

Fang Heng led Rodney back to the third-floor prison and locked him up again, securing the prison’s magic array before returning along the original passage to the second-floor passage opening. He picked up the unconscious Gu Er and brought him back to the rest area together.
"What happened to me just now?"
Gu Er woke up halfway, scratching his head, completely unaware of what had happened while he was unconscious.
"You suffered a mental shock, that’s all."
Fang Heng looked at Gu Er and said, "You’re naturally weak against mental shock. Most of your previous battles were against your own kind. There weren’t many who specialized in mental shock."
"Is that so..."
Gu Er recalled what had happened before he fainted, his brows tightly furrowed.
"This is your weakness. If you want to improve, you can consider undergoing spirit training, or endure mental shock repeatedly in real combat to build resistance. Fainting once just now wasn’t a bad thing. Your resistance to mental shock will improve in the future, so I didn’t wake you immediately."
Fang Heng said calmly, "Gu Er, if you can’t overcome this hurdle, it’ll be difficult for you to enter the third-floor prison for training in the short term."
"Thank you." Gu Er clenched his fists and looked up. "Zane, I want to train specifically to improve my spirit resistance. Help me."
"Sure."
...
Three days later.
As Ethan’s team became more familiar with the daily operations of the Tribunal of Sin, everyone’s routine gradually fell into order.
Gu Er felt that he was improving at godlike speed in real combat. He had no idea that Fang Heng was secretly interfering. After successfully defeating the second-floor gnoll chieftain, he dragged Fang Heng along and entered the third floor for training again.
The result was that he was brutally beaten by a Dark Clan elite who specialized in necromancy and mental shock.
Yet Gu Er had always been the type to grow braver with every battle.
Yesterday, after being knocked unconscious by mental shock, he returned to cultivate peacefully for a night. Today, he came back with Fang Heng and demanded another one-on-one match with the Dark Clan to settle the score.
Fang Heng stood behind Gu Er and secretly gave Rodney a look.
Rodney understood and quickly condensed an imprint in front of him with both hands.
The breath of Death instantly formed several twisted shadow serpents that slithered along the ground toward Gu Er.
Rodney’s spirit strength was two levels higher than Gu Er’s. As long as Gu Er couldn’t close the distance, suppressing him wasn’t a problem.
"Whoosh!!"
Gu Er charged forward again.
The shadow serpents that had been slithering along the ground suddenly sprang up, their bodies expanding several times in size, opening their massive jaws as if to devour Gu Er completely.
"Boom!!!"
Holy Light around Gu Er surged explosively. He forcibly activated his sacred domain, breaking through the dark serpents’ devouring attack. Just as he burst out from the shroud of shadows, the next instant his sea of consciousness churned violently again.
"D*mn it! Again!"
Gu Er’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Rodney. Gritting his teeth, he forcibly endured the first wave of impact. Immediately afterward, two more mental shocks struck in succession, and he lost control and fainted.
Fang Heng walked forward, glanced at Gu Er lying on the ground, then added another mental shock to him before looking up and saying, "Watch him. Don’t let him wake up before I return."
"Mm, leave it to me."
Rodney was already used to it. He dragged Gu Er into a nearby cell, covered him with a blanket, and made it look as if nothing had happened.
When he looked up again, Fang Heng had already disappeared at the end of the passage.
That guy went down to the lower level again.
Rodney calculated silently.
Over the past three days, Fang Heng had secretly entered the lower prison every day to tamper with the magic array seals.
By now, it should have been almost done, right?
After all, that big guy had already been knocked unconscious several times.
He wondered how much longer they could keep deceiving him.
Rodney felt uneasy and couldn’t sleep at all. He could only force himself to lie down.
He didn’t know how much time had passed. While he was thinking aimlessly, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He narrowed his eyes and looked outside the prison.
Not good!
Someone was coming!
From a distance, Rodney saw a member of the God Clan walking through the prison passage. His expression changed slightly. He immediately used undead-element strength to condense a barrier, covering up the God Clan aura leaking from Gu Er’s body, and secretly observed the figure outside the cell.
It was Ryan!
Rodney watched as Ryan walked past the cell and disappeared at the end of the pathway.
This was bad. He went to the lower level too.
Some time ago, Ryan had frequently entered and exited the lower prison levels.
He had thought Ryan hadn’t appeared for a while and that things were fine, but today he showed up again.
Fortunately, he probably hadn’t noticed the traces of damage to the passage barrier.
Rodney let out a sigh of relief.
Fang Heng’s attainments in alchemy magic arrays were terrifying to him. He had even managed to deceive the God Clan with ease.
But the crisis wasn’t over.
With Ryan’s perception, he would definitely discover Fang Heng hidden below.
What should he do?
Rodney’s thoughts were in turmoil.
...
Fourth basement of the prison.
After passing through the alchemy magic array barrier, Ryan immediately sensed the aura of his own kind. He felt puzzled and continued forward until he stepped into the circular hall.
Fang Heng was currently dissolving the alchemy magic array on the fourth level. Sensing the coercion of the God Clan coming from behind, his heart skipped a beat.
D*mn it!
Someone came! He had been discovered!
Was his luck really that bad?
Fang Heng was certain the other party had already noticed him. Several thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.
The opponent’s aura wasn’t weak. He had no confidence in attacking directly without triggering the alarm.
There was no escape from this place either.
He would try to bluff his way through.
Fang Heng quickly made a decision. He turned around one step ahead of time, stared at the approaching God Clan, maintained his composure, slightly bowed, and greeted first, "Greetings, senior. I am Zane."
Ryan sensed the aura of his own kind from Fang Heng and did not suspect anything. He only felt it strange and frowned slightly. "Zane? Why are you here?"
"I just entered my internship phase. My team’s internship is at the Tribunal of Sin. I applied to enter the fourth level to undergo the Tribunal of Sin’s trial."
"You?"
Ryan sized Fang Heng up from head to toe, surprise appearing in his eyes.
Members of the God Clan generally entered their internship phase before the age of thirty.
At that age, he had already cleared the lower three levels of the Tribunal of Sin prison and was exceptionally permitted to enter the fourth level for trial?
Was this kid really that strong?
Even he had only qualified to enter the fourth basement for trial after turning two hundred.
Ryan had always been arrogant. For no reason, he felt a trace of hostility toward Fang Heng.
"Interesting."
Ryan looked at Fang Heng. Around him, elemental arrows of various colors and sizes condensed instantly and shot fiercely toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng stood still, then released an elemental domain around himself.
He had mastered this move in the trial area of the dimensional world.
As the large number of arrows approached within less than a hundred meters of Fang Heng, their speed rapidly slowed, then gradually dissipated within the domain.
This move alone made Ryan somewhat surprised.
The young man before him had mastered elemental domain ability with remarkable proficiency.
