Chapter 11: Taste of Rage

(The shadow's voice echoed through the dim air, still nothing more than a blur in the darkness.)

🔊 The Shadow (coldly):

— "If you want to stay here... prove yourself."

(Xiao Feng exhaled, gripping his knife tighter. His voice was calm but firm.)

🔊 Xiao Feng:

— "Name your condition. But if it's food-related... you're talking to the master."

(Suddenly, the surrounding light shut off. Darkness swallowed everything.

Only the ticking sound of a clock echoed from nowhere.)

💭 "What was that? So the system's still active... but why is it so quiet?"

(Then, the system's alert rang in his mind.)

🔔 System:

"Passive skill activated: Taste of Rage.

Enemies who smell your food will be stunned for 2 seconds."

(Gu Lang yawned and lazily wagged his tail.)

🔊 Gu Lang:

— "Hmm... smells like a spicy skill. Guess they won't smack us too easily now."

🔊 Xiao Feng (smiling):

— "Time to put it to use."

(The shadow stepped closer, his movements sharp and heavy. As he approached, the air itself seemed to bend.)

🔊 The Shadow (low and threatening):

— "Show me... that you are the one."

(Xiao Feng dodged quickly. He couldn't strike hard, but his mind was fast.

He managed a few light slashes with his knife.)

💭 "I'm not strong... but I can think."

(From behind, Gu Lang let out a lazy bark, but didn't move—waiting for the right moment.)

(Suddenly, the shadow stopped. His eyes glowed faintly, as if remembering something.)

🔊 The Shadow (in a whisper):

— "You are the one... go to him."

🔊 Xiao Feng (confused):

— "Go to who?"

(But before he could get an answer, the shadow vanished into the air.

Only Xiao Feng's heavy breathing remained.)
