Chapter 633 Illusion Ring

This hole wasn't that big, but that was just the beginning.

The hole slowly grew in size until it was three times as big as a normal person.

When the hole reached this size, the ground started to shake. The tremors originated from the hole itself, so it was clear that something was coming from it.

Before long, there was a statue that popped out.

Rather than saying that it popped out, it was better to say that it slid out. As soon as the statue appeared, it got stuck in the hole that it created.

It tried to push through, but that was a futile effort in the end.

It was at that point that the statue went back down and widened the hole again before popping out once more.

This time, it got half stuck in the hole as only its torso was able to come out.

Lin Fan was only able to see half of it when it came out and since it was facing the other way, he wasn't able to see its face at all. However, when he took a closer look at it, he couldn't help feeling that the statue looked a bit familiar.

Especially since it was covered in muscles…

Since it was stuck, the statue went back down once again and opened the hole even further before finally popping out this time.

It looked around and realized that it couldn't see anything, so it turned around to see Lin Fan.

The moment that Lin Fan saw this statue, there were three dark lines that appeared on his forehead.

That feeling he had was right, he did recognize this statue, it was the same one from the other trial.

But before he could say a thing, the statue had already come over to Lin Fan and was looking over him with a strange gaze.

As this gaze swept over him, Lin Fan had the same feeling as before. It was a strong feeling of disgust mixed with rejection.

After a few seconds of looking at him, the statue suddenly said, "My, don't you look delicious." As it said this, it even licked its tongue while moving closer.

Lin Fan knitted his brows the moment he heard this and he took a step back.

But he didn't back down since he could tell that something was wrong.

Could it be that this was the final part of this exam?

As Lin Fan stood there thinking, the statue came even closer with a dangerous look in his eyes.

After a few seconds of thinking, Lin Fan suddenly turned around. However, when he did, there was a finger that was held to his right, right behind his face.

The moment that he turned his head, it poked his cheek.

Then there was a laugh that suddenly rang out from behind him.

Lin Fan had a dark look on his face when this happened. He knew what had just happened, so he couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed that he had fallen for such a childish trick.

But before he could say anything else, there was a hand that patted his back and a voice said, "Did you have fun?"

Lin Fan really wanted to scold this person, but he still took a deep breath and said, "Is the trial over now?"

The voice was silent for a bit before it said in a pouty voice, "Bu, bu, you're no fun at all."

With a flash of light, the figure that the voice came from appeared.

This was a handsome young man with a head of wild and scraggly hair. The way he was dressed almost made him seem like one of the Lost Boys, but there was no mistaking it, he was definitely an expert.

The aura that he released it wasn't simple at all.

If he wanted he could most likely crush Lin Fan with a single pinky, but he didn't have any ill intent at all.

After pouting for a bit, the little fairy boy pointed at the statue and said, "He really is ugly, isn't he?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this.

The little fairy boy saw this and with a shake of his head, he waved his hand, making the statue disappear.

Then after a pause, he said, "Well this is what I expected from someone who passed my trial." Then with a sigh, he walked in front of Lin Fan.

As he stood there in front of Lin Fan, the aura around him completely changed.

The relaxed and playful feeling he had completely disappeared and instead, he suddenly had the aura of a supreme expert.

He looked at Lin Fan with a serious look and asked, "What are you hoping to get from my inheritance?"

Lin Fan looked back at him and said without hesitation, "Can you give me information instead?"

The little fairy boy looked at Lin Fan for a bit, with a clear trace of surprise in his eyes. After that pause, he suddenly asked, "Are you sure that's all you want?"

Lin Fan didn't reply this time, he just gave a serious nod.

Seeing this, the little fairy boy was clearly taken back, but then he suddenly burst into a strange fit of laughter.

As he laughed, he said, "Am I being underestimated? Is my inheritance not worth anything to him?"

Lin Fan thought that he had offended this expert, so he was about to say something, but the little fairy boy cut him off by raising his hand.

After laughing for a bit longer, the little fairy boy then said, "Alright, you don't need to say anything, I know what you mean. However, you shouldn't look down on my inheritance. You can still use it even with your bit of cultivation, it just won't be as strong as if you had a level of cultivation similar to mine."

Lin Fan then asked, "Then my request…"

The little fairy boy gave a nod before saying, "There are restrictions, but I can answer three of your questions."

Lin Fan thought, "It's three questions again. Is this the setting they were given or is it…"

But he then asked, "If I had failed the trial, what would have happened?"

The little fairy boy was a bit surprised by this question, clearly not expecting Lin Fan to ask something like this. However, even if he was surprised, he had the strong mentality of a god, so he recovered quickly.

After recovering, he said, "If you failed, you would have fallen to the illusion and would have been sent out of this trial. You would have also had a mark placed on you, so you couldn't come back in again."

Then his tone changed as he said, "So you know about the trick with our trials…You must have met that statue old man before this."

Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately asked, "You could see the illusions that I was experiencing?"

The little fairy boy was taken aback by how fierce and urgent Lin Fan had asked this question, but he still replied, "Not everything, I could see what happened here because I happened to be here. As for the illusions in the forest…well, those drew deep on your memories and I wasn't peeking, so I didn't see anything."

Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It wasn't that he had to hide it, but he didn't feel it was advantageous to him if others knew about his circumstances.

Seeing this, the little fairy boy didn't say anything else on this matter, but he did say, "That is your second question, so you should think carefully about your third question."

Lin Fan thought about it and realized that he was right.

Without thinking about it, he had wasted one of his precious questions because he was worried that his secret had been revealed, which really was a blunder on his part.

But at the very least, it gave him comfort knowing that it wasn't revealed.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan asked, "What can you tell me about this?"

As he said this, he raised his hand and revealed the cloud key that had been given to him.

The little fairy boy looked at what was in Lin Fan's hand and the moment that he saw that it was the key, he immediately narrowed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where did you get this from?"

Lin Fan was confused why his question had been answered with a question, but he still said, "I got it from the beginner trial."

The little fairy boy knitted his brows immediately when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else on this matter. Instead he answered, "This key will be a blessing or a curse on you, that is all I can say."

Then without giving Lin Fan a chance to say anything, he suddenly raised his hand where a ring appeared in his palm.

He reached out towards Lin Fan with this ring and said, "Here, this is your reward."

Lin Fan was surprised by the tone he suddenly spoke with.

If he didn't know any better, it was almost as if this little fairy boy was trying to drive him off as soon as possible.

Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "What is it?"

The little fairy boy suddenly seemed like he had realized something and he explained, "It's called the Illusion Ring, this is your reward for my trial. You can slowly figure out what this is used for, but you won't be able to use its full powers unless you reach the same level of cultivation as the past me."
