第137章 "devil's whisper"

**Chapter 137: The Devil's Challenge**

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a mixture of determination and trepidation as he met Wen Xiyue's gaze. The silence between them was palpable, the weight of the devil's proposal hanging precariously in the balance.

"What's the catch?" Lin Feng asked, his voice low and measured. "You're not going to ask me to give up my soul or something, are you?"

Wen Xiyue chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Lin Feng's spine. "Oh, no, no, no. Nothing that drastic. At least, not yet."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "What do you want, then?"

Wen Xiyue leaned forward, his eyes glinting with an unsettling intensity. "I want you to win the championship this year. To win every game, to dominate every opponent, to be unbeatable. And I want you to do it without anyone else's help."

Lin Feng's jaw clenched. "You're insane. How do you expect me to do that?"

Wen Xiyue smiled, the expression cold and calculating. "I'll give you the power to do it. I'll give you the ability to read your opponents, to anticipate their moves, to outmaneuver them at every turn. But you have to agree to my terms."

Lin Feng's mind raced with the implications. He could already feel the power coursing through his veins, the devil's magic tempting him with its promise of success.

"What's the cost?" Lin Feng asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Wen Xiyue's smile grew wider. "The cost is simple. You have to sacrifice someone you care about. Someone who is dear to you, someone who will suffer because of your success."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with anger and betrayal. "You're as low as a snake's belly," he snarled.

Wen Xiyue shrugged. "I'm just a devil, Lin Feng. I make deals. And you, my dear basketball star, are the only one who can help me keep my end of the bargain."

Lin Feng's gaze locked onto Wen Xiyue's, the tension between them crackling with electricity. He knew he had to make a choice, but which one would it be?

As the silence between them grew thicker, Lin Feng felt the weight of the devil's challenge settling upon him like a shroud. He knew he had to make a decision, but which way would he choose?

And as the darkness closed in around him, Lin Feng felt the devil's laughter echoing in his mind, the sound sending shivers down his spine... to be continued.
