With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
Chapter 276 Entering The Trial

The banquet didn't last long at all.

After Lin Fan arrived, all the beautiful ladies who had already been waiting for his return immediately came over to serve him.

But to their surprise, he wasn't affected by their beauty at all.

Even when they asked him to drink, he just stated that he needed to keep his mind clear to deal with the Hidden Dragon Trial tomorrow. With this as a reason, the girls couldn't do anything to persuade him to drink and had no choice but to back down.

Some of them couldn't even help complaining about him, thinking that he was into…other things…

After all, their beauty didn't work on him at all!

They were confident in their beauty, but facing a stone faced man like this really was a blow to their confidence…

They even began suspecting that perhaps he didn't like women, but rather he liked…the other gender.

Still, since they couldn't do anything to change Lin Fan's mind, the only thing that they could do was leave since he asked to be alone. But of course, it was impossible for the Hidden Dragon Sect to completely leave Lin Fan alone.

No matter what, they would keep someone in his company until he went into the Hidden Dragon Trial.

After all, they couldn't let him run away.

So the one that stayed behind was the sect master's disciple.

As the one with the greatest EQ, naturally he was the one that could keep up with Lin Fan the best.

He raised his cup and said, "Brother Lin, let's celebrate and drink until we get drunk."

But he never expected Lin Fan to say, "I'm sorry, I can't drink tonight. I want to turn in early to prepare for the trial tomorrow, if you don't mind."

The sect master's disciple was surprised to hear this, but he didn't stay since he heard the most important part of Lin Fan's words.

"Turn in early to prepare for the trial tomorrow."

Lin Fan was saying that he was going to head into the trial tomorrow.

The sect master had already told him about Lin Fan's clever way of tricking them into avoiding going into the trial today. So they had all thought that he would try to delay this for as long as possible.

After all, if he already tried to delay it, why wouldn't he delay it for as long as possible?

So they had been prepared to go back and forth with Lin Fan, trying to convince him to go into the trial.

But they never thought that he would agree to go into the trial this easily.

After all, he had used all that effort to avoid going into the trial.

It didn't make sense at all if he suddenly agreed to go in.

But he knew better than to question it. After all, Lin Fan had made this promise not just in front of him, but also the other disciples of the elders.

They had all been here drinking with him, so even if he wanted to deny it tomorrow, which was most likely the case, it would be impossible with the testimonies of the other disciples here.

So he didn't push this matter just in case Lin Fan went back on his word now which was still possible.

He would take him at face value and would use that to trap him tomorrow.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Fan had indeed made up his mind to go into the trial.

He knew that it was just wasting more time if he tried scouting out the sect even more, so it was better to face this with stride instead of hesitation.

There was no saying that he would definitely die in this trial and there were trump cards that he was holding.

In a worst case scenario, he could just hide in the Pet Storage Space and stall for time while looking for a way out.

But of course, that was the worst case scenario since it would be close to impossible for him to leave this Hidden Dragon Sect if he was stuck in the Pet Storage Space.

The Pet Storage Space couldn't move on its own and would only move when Lin Fan was moving outside of it. So if he hid inside of the Pet Storage Space, it would mean that he would be trapped wherever he entered the Pet Storage Space.

If it was right in the center of a bunch of danger…then it would make it even harder for him.

So Lin Fan didn't dare hesitate and started preparing for tomorrow in secret.

He had to look through the stores and make sure that he knew exactly what to buy in every situation. If he was in danger and there was even a moment of hesitation in buying the items he needed to deal with it, then there was the chance that he would be hurt.

So he had to memorize everything in the store just so he could pull out whatever he needed when he needed.

As well, he needed to buy some general use items that he would keep on himself to pull out at any time.

In short, there was a lot of work for him to do.

…

The next morning, Lin Fan was brought back to the main hall and appeared in front of the elders and the sect master again.

By the side of each elder, their disciples were also standing there.

And by the sect master was his disciple.

When the sect master and the elders saw Lin Fan, they first revealed a smile before quickly calming themselves down.

They had naturally heard what their disciples had reported to them, so they were filled with happiness. However, not a single one of them dared to let their guards down until Lin Fan had actually headed into the trial.

They had already seen how crafty Lin Fan could be, so they wouldn't feel assured until seeing him go.

When he arrived in the hall, the sect master said, "Little friend Lin, are you well rested?"

Although it sounded like he was showing concern for Lin Fan, there was a hidden meaning to his words.

One of the reasons that Lin Fan had given yesterday to not enter the trial was that he was tired from traveling. So what he was actually asking was if he had rested enough to go into the trial.

He was preventing Lin Fan from using this as an excuse again.

But Lin Fan's response surprised not just him, but the rest of the people in this room as well.

"Can you lead me to the trial now?" Lin Fan said with a calm look.

This request was so sudden that no one was able to react for a long time. They just stood or sat there in a daze, looking at Lin Fan with confused looks on their faces as if they couldn't understand what he was saying.

After a long period of silence, the sect master finally asked, "Little friend Lin, you're ready to enter the trial? Have you already made all your preparations?"

He couldn't help asking this because he was too confused about what was happening.

Lin Fan had said all those things before to avoid it and now he was directly saying that he was entering the trial. This was so much of a curveball that the sect master couldn't help wondering if this was some kind of trick.

Lin Fan had been just too unconventional that his brain couldn't keep up no matter how he tried.

Lin Fan just simply gave a nod and said, "I'm ready to go in now."

There was only silence that met this as everyone stared at him with focused looks. It was as if they were all trying to figure out what kind of trick he was playing on them, but in reality, there was no trick at all.

Lin Fan's words could be taken at face value because his only plan was to enter the trial now.

After another long period of silence and seeing that Lin Fan didn't say anything else, the sect master had no other choice.

With a simple nod, he stood up and walked over to Lin Fan before walking past him towards the exit. As he went, he said, "Little friend Lin, please follow me. I'll take you to the trial entrance now."

All of the elders were surprised, but they also stood up and followed the sect master out of the room.

Lin Fan didn't mind this and he just followed the sect master as soon as he started moving past him.

Their group walked through the main building of the Hidden Dragon Sect, but they didn't go out. Instead, they walked through the corridors until they came to a set of stairs that led down

Taking these stairs, they went into the basement of this main building.

When they came out of the stairs, Lin Fan found that there was only a single space in this basement and it was giant. With how far it stretched, he guessed that it took up the entire space under the building.

But what caught his attention the most was the statue that was right in the center of the building.

It was a coiling dragon with the dragon's head on the floor.

The mouth of the dragon was open, as if it was some kind of passageway.

It didn't take much to guess that this was the entrance of the trial.

But having to go into the mouth of a dragon like this, even if it was a statue, it seemed a bit…

The sect master led him over to the statue before pointing at the mouth and saying, "This is the entrance of the trial. Little friend Lin, are you ready?"

Lin Fan looked at him and gave a nod before walking forward, once again shocking the sect master, the elders, and all of the disciples.

The sect master had even asked if he was ready because he thought that Lin Fan would say something else to get out of going into the trial. So he wanted to have the advantage in the discussion with him.

All of the elders had also been prepared just in case Lin Fan wanted to run away at this point.

But to their surprise, Lin Fan just simply walked up to the mouth of the dragon.

As if sensing something, the dragon's mouth opened wider and in response, the Mark of the Hidden Dragon started glowing.

Lin Fan looked down at it and then looked up at the dragon statue.

The sect master thought that Lin Fan was about to hesitate, so he wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Lin Fan walked right into the dragon's mouth.
