29 Commence the Trials (2/2)

”Eh? This is pretty interesting. Despite it being an illusion, it would benefit your affinities. If the examiner is nice enough, she could add a realistic element allowing you to temper your body at the same time.”

Van's spirits dimmed down a bit, there was almost no chance that the examiner would give him such a good chance. He barely knew her and was just another Inner Sect Disciple among many others. Van still felt determined to pick the best path. It wasn't every day that he got a chance to improve himself without risk of major injury or death. Or at least, that's what he thought.

”You should pick that one.”

Yu Lin sent a mental transmission of a picture of one of the passageways. It was the one with a desert and lightning above it. Van could also see a few rogue tornadoes in the distance.

”Do I have a triple affinity?!”

Van was shocked. He thought that his hopes were only false hopes that could never be realized, but it turned out that they were coming true right before his eyes.

”Don't you trust me? I'm a High Diety! Even though I am currently suppressed in this orb, no one on this current world could compare to my analytical skills.”

Yu Lin proudly declared. Van nodded silently. What Yu Lin had said made sense. With Yu Lin's cultivation level, he would have capabilities beyond the imaginations of anyone in this world or any other like it.

Van will have the greatest surprise of his life. Yu Lin thought to himself. The biome actually contained5 elements. Yu Lin was shocked himself when he checked. Out of all the passageways, there was only one with 5 elements and 3 with 4 elements.

Yu Lin hadn't actually checked Van's body yet but decided to check it anyways. Yu Lin's eyebrows started to twitch. After a while, his apparition left Van's Outer Dantian and re-entered the orb. Van could hear sobs coming from the orb.

”Yu Lin? Are you okay?”

Van formed a hand out of Qi inside of his Outer Dantian and knocked on the orb.

”Don't bother with me. I just realized how cruel the heavens are. Go enjoy the rare chance that I havegiven you.”

Van looked inside of the orb to see a faint silhouette of a dragon in the corner of the little world. It would be a scene that he would never forget. Maybe he would use this as blackmail in the future. Van kept that picture firmly in his memory. If he ever got a chance to paint it, he would be able to use it as solid blackmail against Yu Lin.

He needed those martial techniques, and the only way to guarantee it was to have some blackmail material to keep the arrogant Yu Lin in line. An evil grin appeared on Van's face before quickly being replaced by a tranquil expression.

Van headed towards the passageway Yu Lin had told him would fit him the best and braced himself for the difficulties ahead.
