“Boom!”
“Boom, boom!”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The eyelid of the person lying inside of the coffin couldn’t help twitching as these booming sounds roared out.
Eventually, it became so loud that the person couldn’t help opening their eyes and roaring out, “What is that sound!”
That person suddenly sat up in their coffin when they roared this out, but there was no one else in this room with them, so their roar just echoed through the empty room.
Even after they roared out, the booming sounds kept echoing out, so this person had no choice but to sit up and investigate that sound.
It had been close to ten years since he had last woken up, so he was quite grumpy at being suddenly woken up like this. However, after clearing his mind, he remembered why he had been waiting the entire time and couldn’t help being excited.
Didn’t this sound mean that the final person chosen for the trial was finally here?
Didn’t that mean that his long wait was finally over?
So while he was annoyed at being woken up by these booming sounds, he was also excited since it meant that the thing that he had been waiting for this entire time was finally in his grasp.
Without any hesitation, this person ran over to what appeared to be a large mirror that was hanging on a wall inside of this hall.
As soon as he came over, this person raised a finger and tapped the mirror.
The moment that he tapped the mirror, the mirror suddenly started to clear.
Even though it was a mirror, before he had tapped it, the mirror was completely opaque. It was like it was covered in a layer of dust that didn’t allow it to function as a mirror at all.
However, even after it cleared up, it still didn’t function as a mirror.
Instead of showing a reflection of the image in front of it, it showed a different scene.
This was the scene of Lin Fan currently making his way through his first trial.
As far as he could tell, there was nothing strange about this scene.
Lin Fan was slowly making his way through the hall with his head on a swivel, as if he was looking for something.
Once again, this person didn’t find it strange since once someone triggered the traps that were there, they would be able to figure out what the cause of it was. It was clear that Lin Fan was currently looking out for the pressure plates that were in this room.
However, this person was confident that Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to find them.
After all, when they had been placed, there was an illusion array that was added to each pressure plate that would hide them from the person who was taking the trial. Unless someone was in a realm above the one who created it, it would be impossible for them to see the pressure plates.
Looking at the mirror, he could tell that Lin Fan was indeed not in a realm above the creator since he was the creator.
With his cultivation, he was able to easily see through Lin Fan’s cultivation realm.
“A Foundation Realm brat? Well, it’s not that bad, but it’s not what I expected…”
That person’s voice trailed off as he said this.
Then he suddenly focused on Lin Fan since he saw that he had suddenly stopped.
“Oh, could it be that he noticed something?”
This mirror was specially made so that it was able to see through the illusion arrays on the pressure plates. So even if the person taking the trial couldn’t see them, this person was able to see them all.
He could see that there was a pressure plate right in front of Lin Fan.
Now he was waiting to see if Lin Fan would sense it or not.
But to his surprise, Lin Fan didn’t avoid this pressure plate at all and moved right towards it.
Then in front of his shocked gaze, Lin Fan suddenly stepped on the pressure plate.
Seeing this, the person couldn’t help shaking his head with a sigh as he said, “He was doing so well, but now it’s all over…”
Perhaps if Lin Fan was in the Golden Core Realm, he would think that he would be able to resist the heavenly thunder, since those in the Golden Core Realm already had experience with heavenly thunder as they had faced a tribulation to enter the Golden Core Realm.
But for someone that was only in the Foundation Realm, it was impossible for him to survive.
So this person had already written Lin Fan off as dead.
However, that wasn’t a problem for them since whether Lin Fan was alive or not, just him being here was already enough for this person.
After all, he only needed Lin Fan’s body as the one chosen by the Mark of the Hidden Dragon for the ceremony.
So he was waiting for Lin Fan to die to retrieve the body.𝞸𝑽𝓁𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t
When the bolts of lightning suddenly fell down on Lin Fan, that person shook his head and said with a sigh, “That’s that.”
He was about to stand up and go retrieve Lin Fan’s body when he suddenly stopped. He couldn’t help rubbing his eyes that had opened wide in shock and looking carefully at the screen in disbelief, as if he couldn’t understand what he was seeing.
Lin Fan had indeed been hit with the heavenly thunder and he could see that lightning energy that had filled his body, but it didn’t seem like it was affecting him. Lin Fan didn’t even have a pained look on his face, almost as if he didn’t feel a thing.
This person couldn’t help muttering to himself, “Just what is going on here?”
Then in front of his look of shock, he watched as Lin Fan absorbed the lightning energy that had been thrust into his body until all of the lightning energy completely disappeared.
That person was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
After all, he had never heard of something like this before!
A person that was able to absorb heavenly thunder like this?
This was unthinkable!
That person started observing Lin Fan more and more closely, as he tried to figure out how Lin Fan had absorbed the heavenly thunder just now, but he couldn’t see through him no matter how he stared at him.
It was like Lin Fan was a treasure chest of mysteries that he couldn’t see through.
But that made this person even more excited.
“As expected of someone chosen by the Mark of the Hidden Dragon with the power of destiny, how could he be a normal person?”
He kept watching as Lin Fan continued forward after being hit by the lightning bolts.
He continued on until…he came up to another pressure plate.
That person couldn’t help being surprised by this since he had seen Lin Fan avoid all the pressure plates just to come up to this single pressure plate.
Was it just luck or could it be…that he was able to see the pressure plates?
No, how was that even possible?
But then Lin Fan stepped on the pressure plate and five bolts of lightning fell down on him just like the last trap that he had triggered.
This person couldn’t help finding it strange that the pressure plate that he triggered had the exact same number of lightning bolts raining down as the last one.
When he created these traps, he had set it so that they would release random bolts of heavenly thunder. Even he didn’t know how many bolts each pressure plate released because they had been placed in a random formation.
But…
This person just silently watched Lin Fan finish absorbing this lightning energy and then move on to the next pressure plate.
He watched carefully as Lin Fan stepped on it and immediately changed the view in the mirror so he could count how many lightning bolts had been triggered.
As he had expected, it was five once again.
Once might be coincidence, but twice definitely wouldn’t be a coincidence.
He didn’t know how Lin Fan was doing it, but he could see where the pressure plates were and he was able to tell just how lightning bolts would rain down on him.
That was the only explanation in this situation.
He couldn’t help looking carefully at Lin Fan with an excited look as he tried to figure out just how he did it, but he couldn’t find anything strange about Lin Fan.
It didn’t take long before this person revealed a look like he wanted to chop Lin Fan up to pieces, carefully dissecting him just so he could figure out what made Lin Fan special.
It was a very dangerous and ugly expression…
But there was no one else here to see it.
Before long, he said, “It’s him, it has to be him…I want him so much. He’s the perfect body for me!”
There was a twisted and demented look on his face that made it hard for people to understand what he was thinking, but one thing was for sure…it was clear that he didn’t have any good intentions.
Once he finished ranting, he muttered to himself, “Come quickly, I can’t wait any longer.”
This person kept watching as Lin Fan slowly made his way through the room, triggering pressure plates again and again to provoke the heavenly thunder.
As for who this person was, he was the ancestor of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
