CHAPTER 204: CHAPTER 188: WILD BLADE HEAVENLY EMPEROR’S SECRET REALM, THE FIRST TRIAL IS SECURE

Xiao Jin reached out to block.

Clang.

A crisp sound echoed.

The broken knife blade sparked against Xiao Jin’s arm.

Although he blocked it, the immense force still flung Xiao Jin away.

Thud, he landed heavily on the ground.

"Human, kid."

"You deserve to die."

Xiao Jin stood up as if nothing had happened, his seemingly breakable body showing no signs of injury.

He raised his head, looking at Lu Lin, who was a head taller than him.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son is about to awaken, and as his most devoted servant, I absolutely won’t let you ruin the grand plan of the Holy Son’s descent."

"Luckily, I still have one last bottom card."

Xiao Jin’s face twisted into a terrifying, evil smile, his face bleeding from seven apertures, evoking a horror-movie atmosphere.

Lu Lin had no time for his nonsense; to avoid delay, he reached out his right hand to pull Liu Chang, who was floating above the Blood Pool.

But at this moment, a light enveloped Lu Lin.

Lu Lin’s movement was halted entirely.

As the light enveloped them, it seemed like he and Liu Chang were in two separate spaces.

The light gradually expanded, covering Fang Gang as he was getting up, Bai Buyi who had just jumped down, and Chen Xiran standing at the passageway entrance.

"Hahaha, humans, go play in the little garden I prepared for you."

"Try to have fun for as long as possible."

The voices that followed, Lu Lin and the others could no longer hear.

The light dissipated, taking Lu Lin and the four with it.

...

"Where is this?"

Lu Lin looked at the ancient altar ahead and said.

The area was shrouded in a gray haze, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Team leader, I don’t know either."

Fang Gang said.

"Does it seem a bit scary? Could that old man actually be a space teleporter?"

Chen Xiran asked curiously.

"No."

"If I guess correctly, this should be a Secret Realm."

"I just don’t know what type of Secret Realm it is."

Bai Buyi observed the surroundings and concluded.

"Secret Realm?"

The three were collectively shocked.

The Secret Realm is not commonly seen in the Exotic Battlefield, but it’s not rare either.

The Human Federation controls at least over twenty Secret Realms among the eight cities.

The purposes of these Secret Realms vary; some are for teaching inheritance, some for training combat abilities, and some are purely Death Secret Realms.

The origins of Secret Realms, no one knows.

The Human Federation doesn’t know, nor do the Alien Race or exotic beasts living here.

It seems as if, when they set foot in this land, the Secret Realms already existed.

In the wilderness of the Exotic Battlefield, if lucky, you might encounter some Secret Realms, but most have already been explored.

Lu Lin and the others didn’t know how Xiao Jin managed to transmit them into the Secret Realm.

But now, their only way was to exit the Secret Realm and unravel its secrets.

"Young ones have arrived again, huh."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Lin turned around to look, but saw no figures.

"Don’t bother looking; I am the master of this Secret Realm, or rather, a trace of consciousness of the master, responsible for managing this place."

"Young ones, entering this Secret Realm means you must pass the assessment of the Wild Blade Heavenly Emperor."

"Those who succeed can receive the inheritance of the Wild Blade Heavenly Emperor."

"Losers must sever their hands and say ’I am worthless’ three times, then they can leave."

"If unwilling to leave, you can choose to continue the challenge until either your life expires or you succeed."

"The paths lie ahead, young ones, have you chosen which path to take?"

As the voice ended, four small paths appeared before the four, leading to the altar.

Bai Buyi’s face changed.

"Everyone, don’t choose yet; this is a rare inheritance + death dual-type Secret Realm."

"The master of such Secret Realm, when alive, was extremely powerful and capricious."

"Choosing the wrong path could very likely lead to death."

"Lu Lin, do you have any ideas?"

Fang Gang had been ready to choose but hastily withdrew his foot after hearing Bai Buyi’s words.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin shook his head.

Honestly, it was his first time entering a Secret Realm, so how could he know how to choose?

This trip to the Exotic Battlefield, he felt no other emotions, just that his learning time at school was too short.

Though the school’s nine basic courses included front-line combat, being surrounded, wilderness escape, etc., Lu Lin hadn’t learned the latter before accepting the task of entering the Exotic Battlefield.

Even the elective courses at school included introductions to various Secret Realms, but Lu Lin similarly didn’t have enough time for systematic study.

Now, as Bai Buyi asked him for ideas, what could Lu Lin say?

At least he was the team leader of the Nineteenth Group; he couldn’t look weak.

Luckily, he had the Guiding Star Skill.

Just not sure whether it would work in this Secret Realm.

"Wait a moment, let me think."

Lu Lin finished speaking and activated his Guiding Star Skill, silently pondering which path to choose.

As expected.

In front of Lu Lin, an arrow appeared, pointing to the third path from the left.

Three long, one short, choose the shortest; three short, one long, choose the longest two long, two short, choose B; same length, same shortness, choose A; different lengths, choose D; varied, choose C.

Lu Lin seriously suspected that the Guiding Star Skill also didn’t know which to choose and just randomly pointed him to one.

However, faced with such a situation, all four paths looked identical, and Lu Lin couldn’t choose anything better.
