Xu Fan had lost his greatest asset in the fight, and in this pitch-black room, he experienced a deep-seated fear for the first time.

Just as the biker gang members had described, he began to feel an itch in his ankle, as if a swarm of insects were crawling up his ankle.

Xu Fan was only wearing a large yellow robe, with simple coarse linen clothes underneath.

His attire was like that of a Western ascetic, very simple.

This gave these insects an opportunity to take advantage.

Xu Fan tried to swat the insects off his body, but what greeted him was excruciating pain and numbness.

This feeling was extremely painful, but Xu Fan was completely unable to stop it.

After all, he was too weak, and after losing his god-level warrior talent, he was no longer invulnerable to swords and spears, or fire and water.

He could only let the insects crawl and bite all over his body.

Xu Fan wanted to summon the Blood Glaze of Ten Thousand Demons to cover his entire body, which would not only repel the insects' attacks but also crush the insects that had already crawled onto his body.

However, no matter how Xu Fan called out to the Myriad Demon Blood Glaze, there was no response.

It was as if he had lost his old friend forever the moment he entered the dark room.

The tingling and itching sensation all over his body intensified. The insects had covered his entire body, and they would burrow into any hole on his body. If there were no holes left to burrow into, they would tear through Xu Fan's skin and burrow into his flesh.

The pain and torment, the almost maddening discomfort, are beyond description to outsiders.

Xu Fan seemed resigned to his fate, leaning against the corner of the room and letting the insects tear at and devour his body.

Xu Fan's consciousness grew increasingly faint, as if he were about to die here.

Then he felt that his body was different from before, and a powerful force burst forth from his dantian.

The swarm of insects was instantly turned into minced meat under the immense force.

The insects that burrowed into the skin became part of the meridians again.

Then this powerful force began to operate on its own, not only dispelling the extremely painful bites on his body, but also injecting Xu Fan with a continuous stream of power.

Xu Fan's body gradually became fuller and stronger, as if stimulated by the swarm of insects, he had regained his youthful vitality.

After enduring immense pain, his mind began to work at a faster pace, as if everything in the world had slowed down.

Xu Fan felt his five senses become unusually sharp. He heard the sound of a winged cave in his ear. Xu Fan quickly made a move and pinched it with his index and middle fingers.

Xu Fan caught a winged insect tightly in his hand and then tossed it aside.

The strike, imbued with true energy, actually punched a hole in the dark room, allowing a ray of light to shoot directly into it from the outside.

The insects seemed particularly afraid of sunlight; wherever the sunlight shone, all the insects avoided it.

The insects that crawled onto Xu Fan's body became his most nutritious nourishment.

Xu Fan seemed to have regained the power of his original physical body.

Then he felt the tentacles of an insect twitching on his body hair. He immediately reacted and pinched a centipede that was trying to attack his back with his fingers.

Xu Fan rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, turning the centipede into a ball.

Then, like a marble, he launched the centipede directly at the hole that Xu Fan had made.

Xu Fan did not want to leave the dark room at this time; he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cultivate.

The centipede's corpse blocked the light source, plunging the room back into darkness.

"Alright, let's see who has stronger willpower and more tenacious perseverance!"

Honglian, Hongyu, and Daisis broke through the wall and returned to the passage.

The insects in the dark room were nothing more than a joke to them.

The matter was resolved in no time, and they escaped from the small dark room.

"Ugh, this is disgusting! How could there be such a disgusting room!"

"Yes, yes, I feel disgusted when I see sticky, slippery things now."

"Next time I see bugs, I will burn them to ashes without hesitation."

Three women stood in the passageway and began to share what they had seen and heard in the small dark room.

They chatted for a while before suddenly realizing that Xu Fan was gone.

This is terrible. They were originally following Xu Fan to protect him on his way to the location of the man in the yellow robe.

The person they were supposed to protect had vanished, while the three bodyguards were unharmed—it was utterly shameful.

As they were slowly exploring, trying to find out where there were any hidden doors,...

Suddenly, the wall underwent a violent deformation, and a huge handprint appeared on the wallpaper.

Then came the second, the third, and the fourth.

The palm prints were different in shape and location, as if they were made using some special palm technique.

However, the fact that the palm strike could directly hit the wall and cause such severe deformation to the alloy-made wall demonstrates the immense force of the person who struck.

"Has Xu Fan regained his power?"

Daisis was the first to exclaim in surprise, because he knew that this meant Xu Fan's strength was steadily improving, and that he could create his own undefeated record even when using other people's bodies.

However, Xu Fan's current state made Honglian and Hongyu feel very worried.

For Xu Fan, such a powerful palm strike on the wall was an easy task.

However, the fact that Xu Fan has not yet come out can only mean one thing: he regards his experience of being locked in the dark room as a trial, and he will not come out until the trial is completed.

They were also very happy to see Xu Fan's strength increase, but they were also worried that if the yellow-robed man's original body was trained to be so strong, wouldn't it be the same as helping the enemy to increase their strength when they swapped bodies again?

While Honglian and Hongyu were filled with worry, Xu Fan was making even better progress.

Xu Fan began to focus his attacks on one point, rapidly punching and striking, until the point began to turn slightly red.

This is because his punches were so fast that the high-speed friction concentrated all the heat energy into a single point, almost melting the metal on the wall.

What terrifying striking power! What terrifying speed! Only Xu Fan could do that.

"Drink it!"

Finally, a muffled shout came from the small dark room.

Then, with a loud bang, he shattered the wall, and there were signs of melting on all four sides of the wall.

The frail old man had disappeared, replaced by a rather robust-looking middle-aged man who slowly walked out of the dark room.

This trial made the body of the yellow-robed man that Xu Fan was currently controlling much younger.
