87 Chapter 87

Once they were through the door, they arrived at an empty space with large walls in front of them and only a single entrance into the area enclosed by the large walls.

Looking straight forward, they couldn't see any bends in the hallway, but when Lin Fan jumped up, he could tell that this was a giant labyrinth.

When he tried to jump over the walls though, Lin Fan could feel that there was an invisible barrier over the top of the walls that prevented him from moving forward.

For Angela, it was easy for her to break through these invisible walls, but there was no meaning for her to do so. The only reason she had come was because she was a bit worried about Lin Fan, but as long as nothing happened to Lin Fan, she had no reason to help.

So with Angela silently following him, Lin Fan led the way into the labyrinth.

The first corridor was quite long, but soon they arrived at the first split. At the split, there were two signs that were hung on different sides, but they both read the exact same thing.

Both signs read "certain death".

Lin Fan stopped to consider this.

Now that the trial had come this far, why would there still be certain death?

Xie Jun wanted someone to gain his inheritance so he could help create an expert that would protect his family and bring his inheritance to a higher realm. There was no way that he would be trying to kill off every participant here. There had to be a different meaning to this.

After thinking about it for a bit, Lin Fan suddenly remembered the message of the first part of this trial.

Maybe it was sometimes better to take a step back instead of charging into certain danger.

Lin Fan turned around and saw that he couldn't see the entrance just like how he couldn't see this first turn when he first looked in.

After pausing for a bit, Lin Fan decided to turn around and walk back in the direction he had just come from.

It took him a while to walk all the back, but he had been correct.

The theme of this final trial was to take a step back, so by going backwards, he had actually arrived at the correct answer, coming to another split.

What he didn't know was that the moment had entered this labyrinth, the labyrinth had actually been turning. It had taken him and the corridor that he had taken to another location in the labyrinth while turning another corridor into a new entrance.

Reaching this split, this time both the signs said "This way".

Lin Fan couldn't see any difference between the two signs, so he really didn't know which way to choose. But one thing was certain, this was different from the certain death signs from last time, so the choice here was probably not to head back.

In the end, Lin Fan gritted his teeth and chose one of the paths, walking along the path to its end. But when he came to the end, he was surprised to see that there was another path that also led to the same place.

It seemed like both paths would have led him here, so this was nothing more than a test of his courage.

Once he came out of the path, he arrived in an open space that was completely void of anything other than a single statue at the end.

When Lin Fan appeared, the statue suddenly opened its eyes and Lin Fan raised his fists, as he prepared to fight, but the statue stopped him, "Now, now, there's no need to be on guard. This part of the labyrinth isn't a test of your strength."

At that, Lin Fan was surprised, but he still didn't drop his fists.

However, when he took a single step forward, he felt a bit of pressure falling onto him. It was just like back in the tower when he was being suppressed by the Dragon Might.

The statue saw this and was a bit surprised, but it still said, "This is nothing more than a simple test of your willpower, just like in the tower. As long as you can resist this pressure and make it to the end of this hall, you will be considered to have passed this trial."

Lin Fan took a step forward and felt the pressure become a bit stronger. This pressure was comparable to what he experienced on the ninth floor.

Lin Fan gathered the golden energy of the power law around him and the pressure was immediately dispelled. He just walked forward like nothing was wrong.

Of course the most shocking thing was that Angela just walked through all of this Dragon Might like it was nothing.

When they came to the statue, the statue just looked at them like they were monsters, but it still said, "Well, well, you two really are surprising. I bet Xiao Jun never expected people like you two to appear on his home world and to come into his Inheritance Realm."

But then it said in a serious voice, "Do you know what this labyrinth was a test of?"

Lin Fan looked at the statue and shook his head.

The statue said, "This was a culmination test of everything that you learned from the three stages of this Inheritance Realm. The first test was a test of whether you knew when to take a step back like you learned in the final stage. The second test was a test of courage, whether you had the courage to move forward, just like in the first stage. Finally this last test was a test of your willpower, just like you learned in the second stage. Only by possessing all three can you be worthy of Xie Jun's inheritance. Since you have demonstrated all three of these qualities, I officially declare you worthy."

As soon as it said that, the wall behind it suddenly opened to reveal a portal.

The statue then said, "Step into that portal and receive your prize. I wish you luck, young ones."

At that, the statue closed its eyes again.

Lin Fan and Angela looked at each other before heading into the portal.

Once they came out on the other side, they appeared inside an arena, sitting in the spectator seats.

When they were confused on what to do next, the voice of the trial suddenly rang out in their minds.

"Congratulations on passing the trials and earning the rights to gain the inheritance. Please wait for the others to finish before we start distributing the rewards."

Since there was nothing to do, the two of them waited for others to appear.

Eventually after several minutes, the person with the gray cloak and sharp eyes also appeared in the stands.

When that person saw the two of them here, he didn't seem surprised, but he did put his guard up. That person looked at them for a bit before moving to another part of the stands to sit down. It seemed like the voice of trial had also spoken to it.

After a few more minutes, the other person in the gray cloak also appeared.

This person had the same reaction as the other person, looking over Lin Fan and Angela for a bit before moving to the side as well, sitting down beside the other person in the gray cloak.

The one who appeared after that was Huo Yan.

When he appeared, he looked at Lin Fan with a desire to fight, but he also heard the voice and decided to wait. If he couldn't fight Lin Fan in the Inheritance Realm, he would find him in real life and fight him.

Then there were five more people that appeared, including the leader of the team that attacked the King Beast.

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was no one else that appeared.

When they were wondering what was going to happen, the voice of the trial suddenly spoke.

"Congratulations, you have all qualified to receive the inheritance, but unfortunately the inheritance can only go to one of you."

"For making it this far, you shall all receive some rewards to bring back with you."

"Now to explain who will receive the final inheritance, please welcome a special guest!"
