“Gulp.” An Lin swallowed audibly.

The woman in front of him had a white dress slung over her tall and slender body. Her skin was pearly white, and her bright eyes were locked firmly on An Lin while she wore a mysterious smile on her face.

“Hi there, Bai Ling, long time no see.”

An Lin forced out a greeting alongside a smile.

The woman standing before him was none other than the manifestation of the mastermind of the research institute, as well as the person who had kicked An Lin and the others out from the ruins on their last visit.

“What are you doing?” Bai Ling asked with a hint of a smile on her face.

Cold sweat was already beginning to drip down An Lin’s forehead as he scrambled for an excuse. “I learned of a way to better maintain these technological products and I want to try them here…”

Bai Ling’s brows lifted slightly. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

“Big Sister Bai, I want them…”

An Lin gave up all attempts to fabricate excuses as he looked up at the woman with a pair of watery, puppy-dog eyes and an expression full of sincerity and longing.

Bai Ling’s lips twitched as his wretched expression. How did his skin become even thicker in the past two years?

“I’ll definitely take the Purple Star technological products to brand new heights, just give me a… or how about this, Big Sister Bai, you tell me what I can do to make it up to you!” An Lin continued.

Bai Ling massaged her brows with an exhausted sigh. “I haven’t even made you pay for the other two bloodline mechanical creations…”

An Lin retreated two steps involuntarily upon hearing this.

“However, you’ve come here today in order to obtain the inheritance here, right? I won’t make things difficult for you. If you can pass all the trials here with a survival rate of less than twenty percent, I can give you all of the mechanical creations as well as the inheritance information here!” Bai Ling spoke again.

An Lin’s eyes lit up and his breathing began to accelerate. “Deal!”

All the mechanical creations were extremely useful in battle! And the inheritance information was not just information to him; they could all be exchanged for spirit stones!! Just half of the inheritance information had already significantly expanded An Lin’s wealth, if he obtained the other half as well… hehehe…

Bai Ling also had her own reasons for providing this opportunity to An Lin. There had only been one group of trial-takers that had ventured into the ruins since An Lin’s group was last here. However, they only managed to pass one trial before they all died, leaving her extremely disappointed.

Someone like An Lin was extremely rare, and she might not encounter anyone else like him in the next few thousand years. Thus, she might as well give him the opportunity to obtain the entire inheritance this research institute had to offer.

“I’m going to randomize the locations of all the secret chambers in this research institute and also increase the difficulty level of all the trials you undertake. You can only advance forward and retreat is not an option. Of course, taking our past history into account, if you’re too scared to move on and beg me with tears streaking down your face to let you out, I can consider sparing your life.” Bai Ling blinked at An Lin with a seductive smile.

An Lin smiled lightly. “Hehe, there are no such words like beg and retreat in my dictionary!”

“As long as the going doesn’t get too hard,” he added in his heart.

“Alright, then I wish you good luck.” Bai Ling slowly dissipated into specks of white light.

An Lin looked at the spot where Bai Ling had disappeared, then looked at the half-completed formation on the Gundam before sighing wistfully.

He suppressed his urge to continue the robbery and turned toward Da Bai. “Let’s go and rescue the beautiful princess!”

Da Bai looked at An Lin with a cold expression as if he had been deceived. “So the princess you’re referring to is that Big Sister Bai? Woof!”

“No, of course not, she’s the evil witch that’s keeping the princess captive!” An Lin replied with a serious expression.

Da Bai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing An Lin’s reply. The woman in the white dress was very beautiful, but she was clearly powerful enough to not require any rescuing. Not only that, but she also gave him a sense of danger.

A chill also ran down An Lin’s spine as he spoke and he couldn’t help but shudder delicately.

He led Da Bai down a dark tunnel, and the two of them continued onward to find a black metal gate at the end of the tunnel.

He pushed open the door to find that there was a cavernous chamber on the other side. A pool of green liquid sat at the center of the room and was bubbling incessantly as the smell of corrosion permeated throughout the chamber.

“Welcome to the trial of poison. According to prior statistics from past trial-takers, the probability of survival for this trial is twelve percent, do you accept this trial?” Bai Ling’s emotionless and slightly mechanical voice suddenly sounded.

“I accept,” An Lin replied.

The green liquid in the pool suddenly began to ripple and surge violently upon An Lin’s confirmation.

He was then treated to the sight of a green humanoid monster with feelers on its face rising slowly from the pool. It opened its mouth to reveal a set of sharp, menacing teeth and slowly spat forth a sinister, corrosive aura from its mouth.

“This is definitely an antagonist! It looks like a demon king, woof!” Da Bai wagged his tail as he donned his Chaotic Sky-Crushing Claws with a solemn expression.

“It looks like Piccolo.” An Lin nodded and remarked, “Too bad Xiao Chou isn’t here.” [1. Making a reference to the fact that Xiao Chou is based on the monkey king from Journey to the West, whose name is Son Goku, which is also the name of the Dragon Ball protagonist who fought the demon king, Piccolo.]

“Roar!” The green humanoid monster clutched at the air with both hands, and the green liquid in the pool rose into the air and transformed into a series of green pythons which pounced toward An Lin with a deadly, corrosive aura.

An Lin took a step forward and instantly disappeared on the spot.

The green pythons converged at his original location and exploded into a huge cloud of poisonous mist.

Right at this moment, ten blue saber projections tore through the poisonous mist and flew toward the green humanoid monster.

The green monster was extremely fast, and its body burst out from the pool like a cannonball as it twisted its body to evade the ten saber projections.

“Crimson God Arrow!”

A scorching wave of heat swept through, and An Lin suddenly appeared behind the green monster. His crimson wings had materialized into an arrow imbued with an extremely devastating power of flames, and it shot forth at blinding speed.

The Crimson God Arrow transformed into a red streak of extremely high temperatures before piercing through the chest of the green monster.

The green monster roared with rage and threw a punch at An Lin. Its arm quivered slightly, and the projection of a green skull appeared around its fist, which then opened its mouth as it swept toward An Lin.

“You want to see who punches the hardest?”

An Lin unleashed his Mountain Quaking Fist, and the massive golden fist projection collided with the projection of the green skull and created an explosion of energy which swept out around them with devastating force.

Right at this moment, Da Bai had also appeared in front of the green monster, and he lopped its head off with his Chaotic Sky-Crushing Claws.

Everything had happened far too quickly for the green monster to react and their coordination was close to perfection.

Blue saber projections flashed through the air, slicing the green monster into several pieces…

Splat…

Green blood exploded forth, and An Lin and Da Bai both retreated as quickly as they could with an expression of disgust on their faces.

“Congratulations, you have passed through the trial of poison.”

Bai Ling reappeared in front of An Lin in her white dress.

An Lin shook his head with a nonchalant expression. “So this is a trial with only twelve percent survival rate? It certainly didn’t seem like much.”

Bai Ling glared at An Lin. “… Do you find it interesting flexing at me like this?”

“So how many more trials are there left?” An Lin asked curiously.

“Hehe, you’ll have to find that out for yourself,” Bai Ling smiled mysteriously as she said, “but I have a surprise coming up for you.”

“Oh, right, I’m going to keep the inheritance for you and give them all to you once you conquer the entire set of ruins. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my time if you died during one of the trials,” Bai Ling continued.

“Meh, it’s not like I care about your inheritance anyway.” An Lin waved his hand and made his way toward the next gate.

Bai Ling’s chest tightened at his words. “You…!”

She gritted her teeth in rage as she looked at An Lin’s receding figure, but he didn’t even turn back to look at her once as he immediately set off for the next trial.
