Chapter 78: Second trial

Once they heard this message in their minds, Lin Fan and Angela quickly stood up and went over the mother tiger.

The least they could do for this mother tiger was bury it before leaving.

Angela quickly used her wind life energy to dig out a hole and placed the mother tiger in with the two cold bundles as Lin Fan made a quick grave. All of this only took them five minutes.

But on the dot of the fifth minute, as soon as they finished, there was a golden barrier that wrapped around them, including Zi Ling who had been silently watching from the side.

The golden barriers slowly lit up, blinding them with golden light until they couldn't open their eyes anymore.

When the light was gone and they could open their eyes again, they found themselves in front of a large tower.

All around them were thousands of people and while there were a lot of, there were clearly much less compared to when they first entered the Inheritance Realm.

In the center, right in front of the tower, there was a giant board that contained the ranking for everyone. However, those that chose to hide their names still had their names hidden.

At the very top, looking very prominent were two scores that were over a million each and the third score wasn't even close to being able to compare to those scores.

Listening carefully, Lin Fan could hear that most of the gossip around them was about this.

"Just who are these two? What kind of maniacs are these?"

"To get such high scores, do you think they killed a Legendary Realm beast?"

"Pei, pei, pei, what kind of crow's beak do you have? If that were the case, we would all be dead by now."

"Right, right, how could there be a Legendary Realm expert that is younger than fifty? That would just be insane."

At this, Lin Fan couldn't help turning towards Angela who was lovingly watching the little white tiger sleeping in her arms. No one would have thought that this sweet looking girl was someone who had just cut three men to pieces half an hour ago.

While waiting, there was eventually a familiar voice that called out to them.

"Brother Lin, you made it after all!"

Lin Fan looked over and knew that only one person would have such a loud voice. As he expected, he saw Boss Gao coming over.

But then another voice called out that shattered this thought, "Brothers, you're here!"

Turning over, they saw Wang Da Dong walking over. His voice didn't lose to Boss Gao's voice at all.

But Lin Fan first said, "If I didn't make it, wouldn't I be dead? Did you want me to die that badly?"

Boss Gao was taken aback by this, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Fan pointed at the board and said, "There were over ten thousand people who entered, but there are only just over four thousand people who were ranked. What do you think happened to the rest of them?"

Boss Gao quickly turned to the board and saw that Lin Fan was right, "Ah, I didn't even notice at all."

Wang Da Dong reacted the same.

Neither of them had seen much fighting during their time, but that was because Boss Gao had two strong Gold Realm pets and Wang Da Dong was the descendant of a royal family, so he had his own trump cards.

So neither of them had thought that the competition was that intense, but it seemed like they were wrong.

But both of them got over it quite quickly since this was also quite normal.

Boss Gao turned to Angela and pointed at the little white tiger she was holding as he said, "So what's with this little tiger?"

Wang Da Dong also came over looking at the little tiger, but when he tried to poke its little cheek, he was immediately scared off with a single glare from Angela.

Lin Fan said with a sigh, "It's just a little thing that we picked on our way here."

Boss Gao tried to approach the little tiger, but that just woke it up and it immediately dug itself deeper into Angela's chest.

This caused Angela to immediately glare at Boss Gao, making his legs turn soft.

Lin Fan saw this and said, "A lot happened, but basically we had to save this little tiger, so it's afraid of new people. Don't mind it Brother Gao."

Boss Gao nodded, but he didn't give up as he took out a small berry from his storage which he used to slowly draw out the little tiger.

Seeing this, Angela couldn't help glaring at him, but she couldn't do a thing when she saw the little tiger happily chewing on the berry.

Wang Da Dong saw this and also took out a few berries, but for some reason the little white tiger completely ignored him. His face couldn't help being covered in dark lines when he saw this.

To make it worse, when he tried again, the little white tiger even slapped his hand away.

As they were playing around, there was suddenly an announcement that silenced everyone.

"Welcome to the second trial."

"The second trial will be held inside this Dragon Tower! You will now try to climb as high as you can in the tower while resisting the pressure that comes down from below!"

��This trial will last a total of twenty four hours and all those that can reach the seventh floor will be considered to have passed this trial!"

"Before you are all allowed to climb up the tower, you will be placed into rooms based on your rankings and be allowed to climb up in accordance with your rank. The person ranked first will go first and the person ranked second will start a second later. For each rank behind that, one will start a second later until the final person starts climbing."

"Please prepare yourselves for the trial, it will begin in ten minutes."

Lin Fan quickly calculated it in his mind, based on the number of people that had passed, it meant that it would take over an hour for the final person to start, so it did seem like the one who started first did have quite the advantage over the last person.

As for Boss Gao, Wang Da Dong, and Zi Ling who were in the top five hundred, it would be around eight minutes after he had started for them to start.

It took Boss Gao and Wang Da Dong this long to notice Zi Ling. For some reason, the first thing these two large men saw was the little tiger instead of Zi Ling and for some reason, they seemed to quite like how cute the little tiger was.

Lin Fan noticed this and introduced them, "This is Zi Ling. She was also invited here by Lord Mu and we bumped into each other on the way, so she's been following us."

Boss Gao reached out his hand and said in a happy voice, "Any friend of Brother Lin is a friend of mine."

Zi Ling took that hand and shook it with a smile, but there was a trace of disdain in her eyes as well. She said, "It's nice to meet you Brother Gao, I hope we can get along."

After introducing each other, they chatted for a few minutes before falling quiet. Each of them were preparing themselves for what lied ahead.

During this time, Lin Fan went over to Angela and took the little white tiger from her. Even though she had an unwilling look, she knew that this was for the best since what was coming might be dangerous, so it was safer for the little white tiger in Lin Fan's pet space.

After the ten minutes passed, there was the same golden barrier that surrounded each of them before they all disappeared.

When Lin Fan could see again, he found that he was inside this gray room all by himself.

When he was wondering what was going to happen, the same voice from before spoke up and he assumed that it was the same for every other participant.

"This trial will be starting in five minutes. The first person will be allowed to enter and the one following that. Please patiently wait your turn."

And then after five minutes passed, the door in the room opened.
