Chapter 553 Inheritance (16)

Lin Fan carefully looked at this golden ball that was flying there, completely ignoring Senior Brother Ying and the others who were urging him to answer.

After he finished assessing the flight pattern of this thing, he immediately jumped forward and dashed at this golden snitch.

Senior Brother Ying and the other elders were all shocked to see Lin Fan dashing forward like this.

They looked at him like they thought that he was crazy, but Lin Fan just ignored them as he set his sights completely on this golden snitch.

When he approached it, the golden snitch suddenly started to flap its wings faster and was about to move, but Lin Fan had already made sure to learn its flight pattern right before it could do anything.

So as soon as it moved, Lin Fan's hand was already in the path that it was taking.

All it could do was fly right into Lin Fan's hand.

When it did, Lin Fan immediately closed his hand around it and held on tight, as he prepared for it to struggle to break free.

But to his surprise, he found that it didn't struggle at all.

The moment that it was caught, it just went limp like a dead fish.

It just stayed there in his hand without even opening its wings, turning back into a normal ball.

The moment that he caught this golden snitch was also the moment that the five minute countdown was over.

All of the elders had looks of despair on their faces as they prepared for what would come next.

They knew that it wouldn't be that simple if they failed this test, so they were prepared to fight the same enemy as before. Many of them even surrounded the pillar as if they were preparing for it to transform.

When Lin Fan caught the golden snitch, the Feng Yu projection reacted right away.

It jerked as if it suddenly woke up and then it turned to look in the direction of Lin Fan.

Or rather, it turned to look in the direction of Lin Fan's hand where the golden snitch was currently lying.

The Feng Yu projection didn't say a thing as he looked at Lin Fan, but then he suddenly revealed a smile.

He brought his hands up and started clapping before saying, "Good job, you've passed this test of intelligence."

When the elders heard this, they all revealed looks of shock and confusion.

Only Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief as he realized that his guess had been correct.

The speeches that Feng Yu gave after each riddle was indeed just a trick to buy time.

As for the reason, it was because of how hard it was to replace this golden snitch.

Not only that, if it wasn't for the fact that Lin Fan's eyes were much better than everyone else's, he wouldn't have been able to follow the golden snitch's movement pattern and caught it so easily.

It was only because of his eyes that he was able to catch it so soon.

It would normally take a long time for most people to replace this golden snitch and then catch it.

The elders came over after recovering from their shock to see what Lin Fan had done, but they couldn't see anything different about him.

They had only seen him suddenly run forward like a madman and nothing else.

So what had done it?

Lin Fan just focused on Feng Yu, as if he was waiting for something.

After clapping his hands for a bit, Feng Yu said with a smile, "You didn't lose yourself in front of the obvious and kept your wits about you. You saw through the obvious clues and found what the true test was. This really is a great display of intelligence."

Lin Fan once again let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The only thing that he had been worried about after catching the golden snitch was that there might be a second part to this test.

But based on Feng Yu's words, this should be the end of the test.

So he opened his hand to look at the golden snitch.

The golden snitch just laid there in his hand as if it was dead.

There didn't seem to be anything happening to it, so Lin Fan didn't know what would happen next.

That is until Feng Yu suddenly said, "Since you have passed this trial, naturally you will also receive a reward and a mark to show that you passed this test. Keep this golden ball with you, it will help you in the future."

Then all of a sudden, Feng Yu started to fade away.

But then again, he was a figure that was created with light in the first place, so it wasn't as if he had a form to begin with.

The light at the tip of the pillar grew stronger and stronger until it suddenly released a beam of light that was aimed at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't dodge out of the way as he let that beam of light hit his hand.

Once the beam of light disappeared, he found that there was a second dot on his hand right beside the first dot.

This was the mark that he had finished the second trial.

Then after the light disappeared from the pillar, there were cracks that formed on the pillar.

These cracks became bigger and bigger until they spread all over the pillar.

Then all of a sudden, the pillar shattered to pieces and fell to the ground.

These pieces only remained on the ground for a few seconds before they also disappeared without a trace.

They turned into dust just like the pieces of the pillar from before.

After watching them disappear, Lin Fan turned to look at the golden snitch in his hand.

He waited to see if this thing would also disappear like the pieces of the pillar.

But there was nothing that changed with this golden snitch.

It seemed that this golden snitch was the reward that Feng Yu had mentioned.

The elders had been watching everything in silence, but they also looked at the golden snitch when Lin Fan looked at it.

Seeing that it didn't disappear like the pieces of the pillar, they all came closer to look at it more closely.

Senior Brother Ying asked, "Sect master, this thing…"

His voice trailed off, but the questioning tone in his voice made it clear what his question was.

Lin Fan gave a nod as he said, "This was the thing that was flying around during the trial. This was the thing that we had to replace to end it."

At this, everyone came closer and started using their spiritual sense to check this golden snitch.

But as soon as their spiritual sense made contact with this golden snitch, they found that it was scattered apart. They weren't able to replace a single thing about this golden snitch.

It was as if there was something protecting it from their spiritual sense, stopping them from replaceing anything about it.

So in the end, they turned to Lin Fan with inquisitive looks, as if they were asking him what this thing was.

But all Lin Fan did was shake his head.

He didn't know what this thing was either, he was just as clueless as them about this thing.

After looking at it for a bit, Lin Fan raised it up and started poking it from different angles, as if he was trying to replace something different about it. But no matter what he did, there was nothing that he could replace about this golden snitch.

It was as if it wouldn't react no matter how he messed around with it.

In the end, Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "He said that this thing would have a use later. So when the time comes, we will know what it does."

The others couldn't help revealing an unwilling look when they heard this, but it wasn't as if there was anything that they could do here.

They didn't even know what this thing was, so to replace out anything about this thing was far beyond them.

All they could do was wait for the time to come to use this thing.

Since there was nothing else left for them here, they had to decide what they would do next.

Everyone looked at each other with hesitant looks as they tried to figure out what each other were thinking.

After all, everyone had the same idea on their mind, but they didn't know if everyone else was sharing this idea.

They all wanted to go back instead of continuing to search for the next pillar, but they couldn't say it unless someone else said it. No one wanted to be that person who put a damper on everyone's mood.

In the end, it was Lin Fan who said, "There's no point in searching for anything else today. If we do encounter another pillar, we wouldn't be in our best condition to deal with whatever trial it gives us. We should head back to rest up and set out tomorrow morning."

The moment that he said this, all of the elders jumped on this and supported his idea.

So in the end, they decided that they would go back to the camp first. They would set off first thing tomorrow morning to search for the next pillar.

Secretly, all of them let out a sigh of relief that Lin Fan had said this first.

But Lin Fan didn't mind since he knew that this was what he should do as the sect master.
