Even Villains Get Lucky Sometimes

Just as Lin Yuan stepped into the hall, the originally motionless stone statue suddenly opened its eyes.

Boom!

An immense pressure instantly poured down from the stone statue.

Thud!

Caught off guard, Lin Yuan was immediately forced to his knees by this sudden pressure, just like when he was suppressed by Su Muchen on the Spirit Duel Platform.

"I..." Lin Yuan's heart burned with anger, and he was about to burst into curses, but reason told him that getting angry was meaningless at this moment. It might even provoke the stone statue.

Just then, Lin Yuan felt a gentle force surge from the jade pendant, instantly offsetting the stone statue's pressure, allowing him to regain his mobility.

At a crucial moment, it was still his master, Xuan Jizi, who stepped in to help.

Lin Yuan quickly stood up, his eyes fixed on the stone statue. The stone statue could immobilize him with just its pressure. The strength of its creator was unimaginable, definitely a remarkable great power!

Lin Yuan was extremely excited. The creator of this stone statue was so extraordinary, so the inheritance he left behind must be even more extraordinary!

He couldn't wait to obtain this inheritance, but Lin Yuan suppressed his inner impatience. He knew that the more powerful the inheritance, the more difficult the test would be. However, Lin Yuan was full of confidence in himself. No matter what the test, he was sure that he could pass it!

He gently rubbed the jade pendant on his waist, calmed his mind, and slowly walked towards the stone statue.

"Outsider, if you wish to obtain the inheritance, you must pass nine trials!"

Suddenly, the stone statue spoke, its voice hoarse and deep, like metal rubbing against stone, causing one's eardrums to tremble.

...

"This has really saved a lot of time and trouble!"

Su Muchen and Shadow Elder advanced unhindered towards the depths of the secret realm.

The traps and guardian spiritual beasts along the way were almost exhausted by Lin Yuan.

This allowed Su Muchen to traverse the secret realm as if taking a leisurely stroll, relaxed and comfortable.

If Lin Yuan knew that the path he had painstakingly created had become Su Muchen's easy road, who knows what he would think. He would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

Along the way, Su Muchen didn't find any valuable treasures.

This was also within his expectations. After all, Lin Yuan would not miss any treasures.

Moreover, his mysterious master would definitely not let go of anything valuable.

"Well, although these treasures are dispensable to me, if they are 'taken' from you, I'll be quite pleased!"

Su Muchen smiled faintly and quickened his pace.

"Young Master, be careful, there's an illusion ahead!"

Shadow Elder's cultivation far surpassed the secret realm's owner, so his divine sense was not affected in the slightest in this secret realm.

"It's alright!" Su Muchen waved his hand, not taking the illusion to heart. As the young master of the Central Continent Holy Sect, he was well-informed. How could the mere illusion arrays of the lower realms trap him?

Su Muchen strode into the illusion. Unlike Lin Yuan, his eyes were clear, and he was obviously not affected by the illusion in the slightest.

"The power of this illusion is not even as good as one I set up casually."

Su Muchen shook his head in disdain. He was about to break the illusion and continue forward when he suddenly seemed to sense something.

"Hmm? Could it be my mistake?"

"How could such a strange object exist in this world?"

Su Muchen was puzzled. He was sure that Lin Yuan couldn't have obtained the inheritance so quickly, so he decided to go and find out.

He stopped breaking the formation and turned to walk towards the center of the illusion.

Soon, Su Muchen arrived at the core area of ​​the illusion array. A emerald-green fruit was suspended in the air, slowly rotating and emitting strange fluctuations.

Concentration Spirit Fruit!

Su Muchen revealed a look of surprise. This kind of rare and exotic fruit was an extremely rare treasure, even in the Central Continent!

Instantly, Su Muchen suddenly understood that this illusion array was not set up artificially, but was naturally formed by this Concentration Spirit Fruit!

"No wonder it was so easy to pass."

At first, Su Muchen was still wondering why the secret realm owner's attainments in illusion arrays were so shallow.

Now, he understood that the illusion array was not set up by the secret realm owner at all, but was a natural illusion array formed by the Concentration Spirit Fruit itself!

If Su Muchen hadn't repeatedly confirmed that this Concentration Spirit Fruit was real, he would have almost thought he was dreaming. He, the villain, actually had such heaven-defying luck.

Su Muchen's lips curled up, and he unceremoniously pocketed the Concentration Spirit Fruit.

As the Concentration Spirit Fruit was taken away, this natural illusion array naturally collapsed.

"Alright, now I should go and meet this 'lucky guy'."

Su Muchen smiled slightly and quickened his pace.

"No... I can't lose! I must persevere! Ah! I must make that couple of dogs pay the price!"

At this moment, Lin Yuan was covered in wounds and in a mess. He even lost an arm.

However, with his tenacious will and the help of his master in the jade pendant, Lin Yuan had passed eight trials in a row. Now, with only the last trial left, he would be able to obtain the inheritance of this secret realm's owner.

"Come on!"

Lin Yuan rested for a while and stepped into the hall again.

"The ninth trial, defeat me, or persist for an hour without being defeated, and you shall pass!"

The stone statue's voice was low and majestic.

"I..."

At this moment, even Lin Yuan, who was the Son of Destiny, couldn't help but want to curse.

According to his master, although the strength of this stone statue was not as good as the secret realm's owner, it had reached the peak of the Profound Connection Realm.

Lin Yuan's face showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He hadn't even broken through to the Yuan Transformation Realm yet. How could he compete with a stone statue at the peak of the Profound Connection Realm?

Wasn't this courting death?

But no matter how unwilling Lin Yuan was in his heart, the stone statue immediately launched an attack after Lin Yuan entered the hall.

Whoosh!

The stone statue's huge body showed astonishing speed.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to think too much and could only dodge aside instinctively.

A head-on collision?

Just kidding, Lin Yuan didn't think that his small body could withstand the stone statue's attack.

Boom!

The stone statue's fist brushed past Lin Yuan's body and landed on the floor of the hall, and the entire hall trembled.

Lin Yuan swallowed hard. If he was hit, he would probably be turned into dust on the spot.

He made up his mind never to fight the stone statue head-on. Anyway, as long as he persisted for an hour, he would pass!

Fortunately, the hall was spacious enough, and Lin Yuan's figure was erratic, dodging repeatedly, narrowly avoiding the stone statue's attack each time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stone statue's attacks continued to fall on the floor of the hall, and the entire hall was shaking violently, but it was unknown what kind of material the hall was built from. It was still intact despite such fierce attacks.

"Half an hour left!"

Lin Yuan stared at the stone statue. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this hour was so long.

"Disciple, don't panic, your master will help you, you will be able to pass smoothly!"

At this time, Xuan Jizi's voice rang in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with light. Yes, he still had his master to help him. He would definitely be able to persevere for the next half hour!

At this moment, Lin Yuan was full of fighting spirit and high spirits.

"Almost over!"

Seeing that there were only a few breaths left, Lin Yuan finally showed a relieved expression and sat down on the ground.

Sure enough, the stone statue's fist stopped just above Lin Yuan's head. If it was a moment later, Lin Yuan would have probably died on the spot.

"Congratulations on passing the nine trials!"

After the stone statue finished speaking, it moved and returned to the center of the hall, turning back into a motionless sculpture.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, a burst of applause came from the entrance of the hall, which seemed particularly abrupt in this empty hall.

Lin Yuan's heart was shocked. He suddenly turned his head, wanting to see who it was, but after seeing the person, he was struck by lightning, and he was stunned in place.

"Not bad, not bad, congratulations on my smooth passage through the trial!"

Su Muchen walked in slowly with a smile on his face.
