Chapter 577 Inheritance (40)

But this projection of Feng Yu didn't give me a chance to ask any questions.

Instead, the projection of Feng Yu just continued by saying, "This fourth trial was meant to activate after the other three were passed. In all of the time that I've left this inheritance realm behind, this fourth trial has never been triggered. It really is astounding that it has been left alone all this time."

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I heard this.

Who knew how long this place had been here and who knew if anyone else had ever found this place before?

As far as they could tell, it didn't seem like anyone had found this place before them.

But he didn't bother saying that since there were more important things to deal with.

Feng Yu gave a sigh before he continued to say, "This fourth trial only activates after the other three trials since you need to pass the other three trials to finish this fourth trial. Without one of the three methods to deal with our little friend here, this fourth trial wouldn't have been unlocked."

As he said this, he turned to look at the Control Toad with a smile on his face.

Then he turned back to me and said with an interested look, "Though, I've never thought that someone would clear this trial the way that you did. It really is a unique way to pass this trial."

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a confused look since he had no idea what he was referring to.

When Feng Yu saw this, he looked at the snitch and the Control Toad before saying, "This fourth trial was a combined trial. It would test how you react in a sudden situation and how you prepare yourself against all situations by using whatever you can get. The condition to pass this trial is to bring both one of the three methods of subduing this little guy and this little guy, whether he was dead or alive."

The Control Toad couldn't help trembling when it heard this even though it was supposed to be pretending to be dead.

It couldn't help revealing an aggrieved look when it heard all of this, but that was only on the inside.

After Feng Yu finished explaining this, he said, "Now that you've brought both of them, it can be considered passing this trial. Since you've passed this trial, then I'll.."

Before he could finish, Lin Fan cut him by saying, "I have some questions for you before that."

If this was a recording, then Feng Yu would have kept going even if Lin Fan had cut him off.

But when he cut him off, Feng Yu suddenly stopped talking and looked at Lin Fan as if he was considering it. After a pause, he said, "Alright, ask your questions."

Lin Fan revealed a shocked look when he heard this.

Even if he had guessed that this was the case, when Feng Yu gave him proof that it was true, he couldn't help being shocked.

But he quickly calmed himself down since he couldn't just let this opportunity slip out of his hands. If he didn't seize this chance, there was no knowing when he would get another chance like this.

So Lin Fan asked the most basic question, "What are you?"

That was the most important thing that he wanted to know right now.

However, when he asked this, Feng Yu couldn't help raising a brow and looking at him as he said, "Are you sure that you want to ask just this?"

Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

He didn't think that there was anything wrong with what he had asked, but it seemed like Feng Yu was implying that this wasn't the right question to ask.

Lin Fan just looked at Feng Yu for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

Without first understanding this, he wouldn't know how to ask his next questions, so he wouldn't regret it if he asked this.

Feng Yu saw this and said, "I am a soul fragment that was left here by my original self before my death. So for a short period of time, I am able to interact with this world as if I was my original self." After a pause, he seemed like he wanted to add, "Of course, this soul fragment won't last long, it'll only last as long as the energy left inside of it. At the same time, there's a limit to how much information is contained in this soul fragment."

Lin Fan slowly gave a nod of understanding when he heard this.

That was because this sounded very much like the soul fragments that he had read about in cultivation s.

But the difference was that those soul fragments would usually try to steal a body to revive themselves.

Feng Yu saw this and said, "Now, you only have two questions left."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he wasn't surprised.

There wouldn't have been a reason for Feng Yu to say what he had said earlier if this wasn't the case, so he was already mentally prepared.

Two more questions, that was more than he had expected.

He had really expected Feng Yu to say that was his one and only question, but it seemed that Feng Yu was more reasonable than he had expected.

So after thinking for a bit, Lin Fan asked, "What were the other two methods?"

Feng Yu was surprised once again when he heard this.

He looked at Lin Fan with a brow raised as if he was trying to see if he was serious. But when he saw the look on Lin Fan's face, he knew that Lin Fan wasn't kidding around.

Realizing this, Feng Yu couldn't help revealing an interested look as he said, "You really are something else. You think completely differently from everyone else."

Lin Fan had no expression on his face when he heard this, but deep down..he was expecting Feng Yu to say something..

Something about another world.

But Feng Yu didn't as he continued by saying, "It's very simple, you were given a special reward for clearing each of the trials perfectly. If you didn't, then you wouldn't have received any of the ways of taking care of this little guy and you would have failed this fourth trial." Then his smile turned a bit cold as he said, "As for what happens if you fail the fourth trial..well, you would die and then be turned into one of his puppets."

Lin Fan couldn't help realizing that there was an inconsistency with his words.

Feng Yu had said that this fourth trial was released when one of the three methods was obtained. But now he was saying that this fourth trial could still be released even if they didn't have one of the three methods.

This didn't seem to add up..

However, Lin Fan didn't ask him about this since he figured that it was most likely one of Feng Yu's tricks to make him waste another question. This was not something that was worth using his last question for, so he threw this thought out of his mind.

As for what he would use his last question on..

This was not something that he had figured out yet.

There were many things that he could have used this last question on and he didn't know what to use it on.

But in the end, he thought of something that he wanted to know.

"How did you die?" Lin Fan said in a calm voice.

Feng Yu didn't reveal the same surprised and amused look this time.

When he heard this question, his expression turned a bit somber as if he was remembering the past.

There was an awkward silence that filled the room as Feng Yu just looked like he was lost in his memories instead of saying something.

In the end, Feng Yu slowly shook his head and said, "That isn't something that I can answer right now."

Lin Fan knitted his brows immediately and seemed like he wanted to say something.

However, Feng Yu raised his hand to cut him off before saying, "Just understand that this isn't something that you can know right now. When you finish this trial, you will understand everything and you will be able to make that choice. But before then..you can't know this."

The serious way that he said this made Lin Fan knit his brows even more.

It seemed that whatever Feng Yu had gotten himself involved in..was very serious.

Lin Fan just looked at Feng Yu who looked right back at him.

Neither of them said a single thing as they just stared at each other, as if they were waiting to see how the other person would react. historical

In the end, it was Lin Fan who broke this stalemate by saying, "Alright, then. I'll wait to find out."

Feng Yu seemed relieved when he heard this before he said in a serious voice, "Good choice."

Then as if he felt like he had to add something, he said, "As a compensation for not answering the question, let me give you a bit of interesting information."

His lips curled as he said, "There's a hidden treasure in this place, but you have to be very careful if you want to find it. If you don't look carefully, it is very easy to miss it, so you should be careful."

Secret treasure?

What did he mean by that?
