Chapter 36: Secret Realm Level 1 Trial
Hong Huang thought for a moment, then said to Lin Fan, "There's no impenetrable wall in the world, so light a fire in the center. Observe which direction the flames fall. The opposite direction is the exit."
Although Lin Fan was puzzled, he still did as he was told. After doing what Hong Huang asked, he looked at the direction of the flames and then punched hard in the opposite direction.
A small area of the wall collapsed with a loud "bang". Lin Fan was overjoyed and drilled out of the wall directly. What came into his eyes next was another scene.
After leaving the narrow area, Lin Fan stepped into a vast venue. In the center of the venue was a pool with a huge stone ball hanging above the pool.
Lin Fan looked around as he approached the pool. By the time he stood by the pool, he had a general understanding of his current environment.
He seemed to be in a vast underground cave with small secret rooms distributed around it. Although it was a cave, there was a light emanating from the top above the stone ball.
"It seems that I am the first one out. What should I do next?"
"Wait a moment. I guess the small secret room just now is just for admission. I guess the real thing will start after the screening is completed. If you're bored, just practice here for a while. I'll help you watch the surroundings."
"Thank you very much, Master." After saying this, Lin Fan sat down and meditated on the spot.
However, just as Lin Fan sat down, a loud "boom" attracted Hong Huang's attention.
Hong Huang looked towards the source of the sound, and the red-haired man from Zhaixing Pavilion appeared in front of Hong Huang.
The red-haired man pushed away the stone slab on his body with one hand and patted the dust off his body with the other. It seemed that he had made quite a noise in the secret room.
The red-haired man had just taken a few steps when he saw Lin Fan meditating by the pool. However, he did not make any sound, but slowly approached the pool.
However, Hong Huang still noticed a little detail. When the red-haired man saw Lin Fan, the expression on his face changed several times. First he was surprised, then confused, and finally he frowned and returned to the arrogant look he had outside the secret realm.
It just so happened that Hong Huang also noticed the changes in his expression, and it was precisely because of these changes that Hong Huang became wary of the red-haired man.
However, before the red-haired man could reach the vicinity of the pool, the sound of a secret room collapsing was heard from another direction.
After hearing the sound, Hong Huang felt something was wrong, so he quickly asked Lin Fan to stand up.
"Why is there so much dust? It would be so uncomfortable if it got my clothes dirty, but luckily my hair is not messed up."
The source of the voice was a yellow-haired man, and with the messy decorations on his body, he looked like a male peacock.
"Wow, I didn't expect someone could get there earlier than me, and there are two of them. Hey, what are your names?"
The yellow-haired man looked at Lin Fan and the red-haired man arrogantly, sizing them up and down before continuing, "I see you're quite capable, come and be my younger brother."
"Who the hell are you? I think you are only fit to be my little brother." The red-haired man took advantage of Lin Fan's inattention and showed the same expression as when he was outside the secret realm.
However, he did not expect that in addition to the three of them, there was also a non-human Hong Huang, and all his changes were seen by Hong Huang.
"They seem to be arguing. Let's stay away from them. And you have to be careful of that red-haired guy."
When the yellow-haired man heard what the red-haired man said, he stared at him in surprise. Then he pointed at himself and said to the red-haired man, "You don't know me? Then I'll tell you, I'm Huang Fazhai of the Zhumei Sect. Kneel down and apologize to me now, and I can forgive you."
"What Zhu Meizong, what Huangfazi, I don't care about anything you have." The red-haired man also clenched his fists and turned his head away.
As for Lin Fan, he naturally stayed away from them when they were arguing.
Just as they were about to fight, there was another "bang" and Zhang Wenyu came out of the secret room, followed by Zhang Ji, and Sun Zhi followed Zhang Ji out.
What’s interesting is that because Zhang Ji came out earlier than Sun Zhi, Sun Zhi gritted his teeth when he saw Zhang Ji.
Then more and more people came out, and Huang Fazhai and Huai Dongxi stopped arguing.
At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared on the stone ball: The trial is about to begin, and those who do not leave the secret room will be disqualified.
After a while, some of the small secret rooms that were originally noisy suddenly became quiet, and the people who came out of the secret rooms were looking at the stone ball above the pool.
Sure enough, new words appeared on the stone ball: The trial begins. There are three levels in this trial. Next, I will introduce the rules of the first level. The Love Pool will be divided into four parts. Everyone chooses an area to jump into. But please note that one of the four areas will be eliminated, and every time someone makes a choice, regardless of success or failure, the eliminated area will change position.
Lin Fan quickly read the rules on the stone ball, then looked down at the pool.
Just as the text on the stone ball described, the pool was evenly divided into four whirlpools.
Everyone present chose to look at the pool, waiting for the first person to jump.
"Hey, Huangmaozi, are you scared? If you are scared, I will jump down first, remember to follow me."
The speaker was Huai Dongxi, and as soon as he finished speaking, he jumped towards one of the whirlpools. Before jumping, he glanced at Huang Fazhai and made a contemptuous gesture towards him.
Before others could react, Huai Dongxi had already gone in. At this moment, a circle suddenly appeared on the stone ball, as if telling others that Huai Dongxi had just passed through.
Huang Fazhai was mocked by Huai Dongxi, which affected his mentality. He jumped directly into the vortex that Huai Dongxi had just entered, and the final result was also a circle.
"It seems that this vortex is safe. I will be the third person to succeed, hahaha." A very ordinary person in the crowd suddenly shouted, then jumped towards the vortex, and finally passed it successfully.
With the first three people taking the lead, the ones behind also started to jump in, but they did not choose the same vortex. As for the number of people who did not pass, it was the same as the probability of elimination, with 1/4 of the people being eliminated.
When everyone else was jumping into the pool, Lin Fan waited for a while as requested by Hong Huang, because Hong Huang found that every time someone jumped in, there would be a whirlpool producing a small splash, and this splash would remind the people observing the pool.
"Do you know why I asked you to wait? It's because it says on the stone ball that it will change position, but it's not random, so there must be a pattern. I just figured it out. Now, you can jump into any of the pools except the one in the lower right corner."
After hearing this, Lin Fan didn't hesitate and jumped into any pool except the one in the lower right corner.
