Chapter 284 Third Trial

Before he could move on from this place, Lin Fan realized that there was a problem here.

Not to mention the exit, even the stone bridge was too small for the Sun Devouring Lion. There was no way that the Sun Devouring Lion would be able to leave with him like this.

But that wasn't strange since this was a trial that was designed for people and one would only expect people to leave the room through this exit. The spirit beasts would usually be killed or transported away with a different method.

Just like how the Sun Devouring Lion had been sent into this room in the first place.

So unless he did something, there was no way for the Sun Devouring Lion to leave with him.

Normally this would be easy to solve since he could just put the Sun Devouring Lion in his Pet Storage Space and bring it away, but it was different since he was inside of this trial.

Lin Fan had considered the possibility that someone could be watching him, so he had never shown too many of his trump cards just in case. So there was no way that he would want to use his Pet Storage Space in a place like this.

It was best if he could find a different way to bring the Sun Devouring Lion away.

In the end, it was the Sun Devouring Lion that gave him the answer.

It had been confused as to why Lin Fan kept looking at it and at the exit, but it was able to figure it out in the end.

Then in front of Lin Fan's surprised expression, it suddenly started to shrink and shrink until it was the size of a kitten.

Without care for Lin Fan's shock, it jumped up into Lin Fan's hand and landed in his embrace before snuggling its head against his chest.

Lin Fan looked down at the Sun Devouring Lion turned cat and he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.

With the cute appearance that it had now, no one would suspect that it was the fierce and powerful Sun Devouring Lion. Even he wouldn't have believed that this cute cat was that Sun Devouring Lion if he hadn't seen it shrink just now.

So after patting the Sun Devouring Lion, Lin Fan carried it in one hand and held his sword in the other as he started moving across the stone bridge.

After leaving that arena, it was another long passage that awaited him.

This was just like the ones from before, but this one was the longest one by far. It took Lin Fan over an hour before he was able to reach the end.

While he didn't travel at full speed just like he had done before, he could tell that it was at least over twenty kilometers long.

This long passage…just how big was the space that this trial took. Moreover, how were they able to hide such a large place without anyone noticing?

Even if it was hidden deep in the ground, there should have been faint spiritual energy fluctuations that escaped.

This thing had been here for over a hundred years as far as Lin Fan knew, it would be impossible for people to ignore spiritual energy fluctuations coming from it for so long.

A cultivator should have already found this place already.

So how had it been hidden for so long?

These were the thoughts that passed through his mind as he made his way through the passage.

However, when he reached the end and arrived at the next trial, he completely forgot all about it.

That was because he could feel a strange feeling from the door that led to the next trial.

Instead of being an open exit like the other two trials, their one had a door and it had a groove that had a perfect indentation for the Mark of the Hidden Dragon.

But why was it only that this trial had a door that required the Mark of the Hidden Dragon?

No matter how he thought this through, Lin Fan couldn't make sense of it.

He tried pushing through the door without inserting it, but he found that he couldn't budge the door at all.

He also tried looking for other ways to move forward, but he found that there were no tricks and he could only go through this door.

But it just didn't make any sense!

Still, it wasn't as if Lin Adam had a choice in the end…

So he took out the Mark of the Hidden Dragon and put it into the indentation of the door.

When it entered the indentation, the Mark of the Hidden Dragon suddenly sunk into the door as if it had activated some kind of mechanism. Lin Fan could also hear the clicking sounds that came from the door, as if something was being triggered inside of it.

It didn't take long before the door suddenly opened, but the Mark of the Hidden Dragon that had been placed right in the center had also split in half, moving with the two sides of the door.

Lin Fan was surprised by this, but he also quickly went forward to grab the Mark of the Hidden Dragon in the door.

It was just too bad that no matter how he grabbed at it, it just wouldn't come out of the door at all.

It was as if the Mark of the Hidden Dragon had already become a part of the door.

Not to mention that it had already split apart, so even if he were able to get it back, it would be hard to use when it was in two pieces.

So Lin Fan had no choice but to give up on it since he couldn't figure out a way to get it out.

But he couldn't help casting one last look at the Mark of the Hidden Dragon left in the door.

He had gone through quite a bit with this Mark of the Hidden Dragon and now that it was gone, it was a bit hard for him to accept…

Well the main reason was that his side mission still wasn't finished yet, so he needed that Mark of the Hidden Dragon still.

No matter what, he still had to get it back and figure out what its real use was. Then after the side mission was complete, he didn't mind if he lost it.

Still, he had no choice but to move on without it.

When he came into the room, he found that it was a room that didn't have any light in it at all. The only light that was in this room came from the open door behind him, but it wasn't bright enough for him to see anything with.

Then with a sudden "boom", the door shut behind him and thrust him into darkness.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan raised his hand and created a ball of flames in them.

However, he found that he wasn't able to see anything at all even with the ball of flames lighting the way. It was almost as if there was something that was obscuring his vision.

But then he also realized something else.

He should be able to see even without any light because he was a cultivator. As long as he had his spiritual energy, his eyes should be able to see through the dark.

So why was it still so dark around him?

There was an unsettled feeling that passed through his heart before he raised his sword in one hand and the ball of the flame in the other.

The Sun Devouring Lion also realized that something was off, so it jumped out of Lin Fan's arm and landed beside him before growing to the normal size of a lion.

The two of them just stood there on guard for whatever was coming, but there was nothing that came. All that happened was that there was a sudden burst of light that forced both of them to close their eyes.

Well, it wasn't a sudden burst of light, it was a gradual reintroduction to light.

However, for the two of them that had already adapted to the darkness, this was too quick of a change. So in the end, both of them couldn't help closing their eyes as they adjusted.

After the period of adjustment was over, they both opened their eyes to look around the room.

​ When they looked around, they found that this room was empty except for…

A single roulette wheel that was placed right in the center of the room.

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at this roulette wheel with a raised brow, mainly focusing on the different symbols that were on the wheel itself.

There were many strange symbols that he didn't recognize, but there were symbols such as lightning bolts, skulls, and happy faces that he did recognize.

But no matter how he looked at this, he didn't have a good feeling about it.

After all, even when he used his Appraisal Eyes on the wheel, he didn't get any information.

There was nothing in this room, so he had no choice but to go to the center of the room.

When he stepped up to the wheel, the voice appeared again and said, "The third trial is a trial of luck. Spin the wheel and face your fate."

It was just a few simple words, but Lin Fan's face couldn't help turning dark when he heard this.

After all, the symbols that were on the wheel were quite ominous…
