Chapter 1193 - 1192: Astonishment

After hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu felt immensely shocked; she was completely stunned by the experience Lu Yu had just described.

She never imagined that the training methods within the Assassin Alliance would be so cruel!

"I seem to understand now, how you've developed such composure and extraordinary cunning..."

Slowly speaking, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, her words full of somberness, her eyes flashing with insight, as if in contemplation.

The training of the Assassin Alliance was not solely on honed Lu Yu's fighting skills, but also cultivated his ability to perceive human nature!

In the cage, Lu Yu didn't know the intentions of others, while everyone there wanted to kill him. In such an environment, to survive, one had to not only possess formidable skills as a guarantee but also have enough insight to distinguish friend from foe!

That is the most difficult thing.

"No, you're mistaken, such a test was actually very simple for me."

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu responded casually: "I passed the test with hardly any effort."

While speaking, Lu Yu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, his face full of mirth.

"Simple?"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, confusion appeared on Leng Qingqiu's face. She simply couldn't fathom why Lu Yu would say such a task was very simple.

Under conditions of complete ignorance, surviving among fifty prisoners who all wanted to kill him, Lu Yu actually found it very simple?

"Indeed, the task was very simple."

Seeing the slight bewilderment on Leng Qingqiu's face, Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "At that time, I had just escaped from Paradise Island, was at my most vigilant, and had the strongest killing intent. So I adopted a very simple approach..."

At this point, Lu Yu's voice lowered, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Kill everyone indiscriminately!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu shuddered; she understood instantly. She looked at Lu Yu, her eyes full of somberness.

Only then did Leng Qingqiu understand why Lu Yu said the training was simple.

The task seemed incredibly perilous, but it had no restrictions — survival was the only objective. So, since it was hard to tell friend from foe, it was easiest to kill everyone!

This way, naturally, one could easily pass through.

"Smart."

Lu Yu smiled as he spoke, looking at Leng Qingqiu, his words full of delight, as if discussing an extremely simple matter: "However, as for composure and depth, they were indeed trained during Assassin Alliance sessions, just in another training program."

Another training program?

Hearing Lu Yu's words, a hint of confusion flashed across Leng Qingqiu's face. She looked at Lu Yu and asked, "What kind of training?"

Leng Qingqiu wanted to know what kind of training Lu Yu underwent to have such profound cunning and mind.

"The overall content is the same as the first training, but with one special condition added,"

Lu Yu smiled faintly, speaking with a touch of depth in his words.

"A special condition added?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Lu Yu in front of her, she seemed to have thought of something, and curiously asked, "Is it... that they added your teammates among the crowd?"

Now Leng Qingqiu was gradually realizing what the condition could be.

"Smart!"

Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh; he nodded and said to Leng Qingqiu, "In the training, they included four of my companions, and my task was to kill all the serious offenders without harming the teammates."

While speaking, Lu Yu's words were full of depth.

"And what was the consequence if you chose incorrectly?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu suppressed the shock in her heart and asked Lu Yu with inquiry in her words.

Leng Qingqiu wanted to know what the consequences would be for making mistakes in such a harsh environment.

"Death!"

With lips slightly parted, Lu Yu directly gave a clear and the most effective answer: "Mistakes lead to death!"

Straightforwardly, Lu Yu pointed out the outcome of errors.

Upon hearing this, in an instant, Leng Qingqiu froze, looking at Lu Yu in front of her, her heart full of shock.

Leng Qingqiu never imagined that the training of the Assassin Alliance would be so brutal, that even the slightest mistake could lead to death!

No wonder Lu Yu could possess such calm demeanor and profound cunning, because the harsh training and reality within the Assassin Alliance simply did not allow any mistakes!

Once a mistake was made, the consequence would be death, a cost that is indeed immensely high!

Finally, Leng Qingqiu understood why Lu Yu could become the high-ranking leader of the Assassin Alliance within two years. Just the terrifying content of the training was enough to make her feel incredible.

The Assassin Alliance, as one of the most formidable organizations, trains its members with utmost rigor. In their eyes, if one can't excel during training, failure in future missions is inevitable!

And under such harsh training, there is never a weakling among the members of the Assassin Alliance!

"I never imagined that you had such a terrifying experience over the past two years."

After a moment of reflection, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, her words full of astonishment: "I truly cannot imagine how you managed alone."

"Hatred is an excellent catalyst."

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu spoke, his words full of mirth: "This catalyst is very powerful; it can transform a coward into a brave person, a weakling into a killing god, and likewise, transform the useless past me into a high-ranking member of the Assassin Alliance."

In his words, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu in front of him and spoke, his lines full of tranquility, as if the past five years were merely a laughing matter.

Looking at Lu Yu's gentle smile, Leng Qingqiu's expression froze, secretly amazed in her heart.

The extermination of his family, being adrift on Paradise Island living a non-human life, and then undergoing the brutal training of the Assassin Alliance, resulted in the present Lu Yu in front of her!

Such an experience would likely cause anyone to mentally collapse, fall apart, and silently perish.

Yet Lu Yu endured and accomplished a rebirth-like transformation, leaving Leng Qingqiu deeply astonished.
