Chapter 541 - Enter The Trials
While the 'Monk'ey beast was getting the two disciples, Lin Wu was setting up some things in the tomb. Since the disciples were goings to take the trials, he had to change things up a bit.
The trials that Wang Xiong had taken were modified by Lin Wu and would be far easier for the two of them. Since they had attempted the already far more hard trials of the Sky Bright Daoist, Lin Wu could not let them think that the trials of the Taiji celestial were easy.
Of course, fixing this was rather simple. Lin Wu simply had to return the trials to the default format. That way they will have to pass all the trails before they were able to get the inheritance and meet Lin Wu.
Lin Wu was obviously not going to give up on that and was definitely going to put traces and his crystals in the two disciples as well. This was to ensure that the two of them would not cause any problem in the future and he would also be able to communicate with them in time of need.
There were only advantages to this and no disadvantages to this… at least for Lin Wu. The same could not be said for the two disciples though. But their problems were not really something that Lin Wu would care for anyway.
"There they are…" Lin Wu said as he observed the window in front of him.
It zoomed into the two disciples and they could be seen entering the first hall with the murals. Lin Wu watched as the two disciples went through the same series of shock and awe as that of Wang Xiong.
~SHUA~
Suddenly the hall shook lightly and a sprint Qi fluctuation could be felt.
The two disciples felt their bodies go dull and their vision black. Then in the next moment, they found themselves in a very familiar place.
"Huh? It's the forest from the Sky Bright Daoist's trials." Jun spoke.
But this was the only thing that was familiar as a loud voice rang in their heads.
"First Trial has begun, the two contenders are to survive for a day or to kill all enemies in the area!" The voice of the trail said.
"There we go," Lin Wu who was watching them said.
He wanted his infinite imaginary snacks right now but could not get them since he was not in a memory sequence.
"Eh, I can still eat the real ones." Lin Wu said as he withdrew some of the snacks from the storage and started to eat
He watched as the two disciples began their trial. Lin Wu could tell that they were truly prepared and got into the flow right away. They completed the first trial in about three hours by killing all the enemies that were in the area.
"Huh, they were smart enough to know that the surviving this would be harder than killing the enemies." Lin Wu muttered in interest.
While the test seemed simple enough, and one would most likely take the option of surviving for a certain amount of time to pass, the two of them decided to do otherwise.
Instead of waiting it out, they decide to kill all the enemies enough though the other choice seemed to be safer. But this was actually a tricky trap.
The enemies would eventually discover them if they decided to wait it out and would then launch a series of attacks. But if they decided to take the first option and kill the enemies instead of just surviving, they would have the advantage of surprise.
Not only that, but they would even be able to get rid of the enemies without them even detecting them if they were sneaky enough.
In fact, they had gotten rid of over half of the enemies before they were even discovered. After that, the process was significantly easier for them and they managed to pass.
"First Trail has been completed successfully! Both the contenders shall head on to the next stage!" The voice of the trial said.
Lin Wu watched as the two disciples returned to their bodies. Same as that with Wang Xiong, the two disciples had only gotten their minds sent to the trial.
"Huh? We're safe? Our injuries are healed too?" Jun questioned.
"This is an illusory trial as well… though the difficulty is certainly higher," Xiaoge said.
She was close to being killed several times but had still managed to survive. She didn't know if they would be able to give the test again if they failed, thus she did not want to die even if it was an illusory trial.
She wanted to know what was the truth behind the Tomb and whether the records of her clan were true or not. The two of them continued on to the next hall and saw the murals there as well.
"This… just what kind of a power would be needed to do what is in these murals?" Jun said in shock.
"Whatever it may be, it is certainly beyond anything we have ever seen." Xiaoge said.
"True, there might not be anyone in this world that can even come close to this level of power." Jun agreed.
~SHUA~
"The Second Trial will become in one minute, all contenders are to be prepared." The voice of the trial said.
Lin Wu watched on as he ate more snacks. The trial was something that the two disciples struggled to complete but still managed to do it in the end.
"Hmm… this was good. Perhaps, I can see some of the things that are still hidden about the Taiji Celestial from these trials." Lin Wu said upon having watched everything.
The two disciples underwent more trials and continued to progress. The trials took far less time than the Sky Bright Daoist's trials but they were definitely many times more difficult.
Lin Wu knew that if it were not for the preparation the two got from the trials before, they might not have ever come close.
