"The first treasure room is giving me ancient power, the second treasure room give me higher mental ability, then the third room?" Lin Xiao pondered. He could guess that it must be something good too.

Lin Hu passed a glance at Lin Xiao. "Body, Mind, and heart?"

"…Really?"

"I'm guessing."

Lin Xiao: "…"

Looking at the left side, Lin Xiao was contemplating. However, he then recalled something. "Why didn't I realize anything when I'm given something to increase my mind's ability?"

"You don't realize that you're only fighting with your mind?"

"… Didn't I enter the world for real?"

"You did but all the wounds you suffered and your death is nothing more than hallucinations in your mind. After you pass out, there's a light heading to your mind, giving you the reward for your performance."

Lin Xiao nodded then looked at his back, pondering a bit. "I can definitely feel that my mind is getting clearer. What other effect do you think it'll give me?"

"As long as you don't turn stupider, it's good."

"…You're the stupid one."

Lin Hu clicked his tongue. "If you want to head to the third room, you should hurry. There might be others who are already there by now since you're busy dilly dallying here."

"Ah…"

Lin Xiao was still hesitating because he didn't know what kind of challenge he would face. He took out a spirit stone and absorbed it within few seconds. The moment the Qi was completely absorbed, the Low Grade Spirit Stones turned to dust.

He was getting faster and Lin Xiao felt that there was something that changed within him. However, he couldn't really say what it was because the change felt a bit hard to describe. 

'At least, I know I'm getting stronger.'

After busy contemplating, Lin Xiao chose to just take his chance and walked to the left. When he crossed the line, he saw a flash of light as his figure disappeared from his position.

Swish! Thud!

He appeared midair and Lin Xiao quickly stabilized his position, landing on his two legs carefully. Sweeping his gaze across the room, he noticed that he was once more in a large hall. This time, the hall was filled with countless items and there was a text written in normal language.

Yeah, the normal language that both he and people from Sun Kingdom used.

"Take one item, one that you need the most then leave this room."

Lin Xiao then looked down as he could see the engravings of ancient word there. His lips tugged to form a sneer as he realized that there was an array formed below them. It was stating that should one take more than one, they would trigger various trap that was set up in this room.

Inside Lin Xiao's consciousness, Lin Hu was surprised.

"It's testing one's greediness."

"Well, I naturally will not be greedy." Lin Xiao shook his head and swept his gaze across the room. He didn't really have that good eye when it came to treasure but he knew that if he should pick something, there was only a few items that could be of use to him.

First, he would need some treasures that could help him to advance faster because he had been lagging behind.

Secondly, items to improve his physical strength would be doable too.

Thirdly, he needed a rock or metal or something like that that was suitable for him to make the sword.

Just as Lin Xiao was walking around the pile of treasures, he heard the sound of fighting and glanced to the side. His eyes narrowed when he saw the word 'metal' because he knew that there were a total of three groups there, including Hu Fei.

Bang!

"Finally a treasure room! I was late to the other two damn it!" a youth rushed in and his eyes gleamed when he saw the treasure that was piling up in front of him.

'He was late?'

His sentence told Lin Xiao that there were other rooms. He had seen that each room only have four doors connected so it means that it was only the intersection of four paths. There must be three rooms each, which meant that there were a total of 9 room of treasures.

Could it be possible that all of them reached the treasure for each room? It sounded a bit implausible. 

The number of youths who came here were only around… 33 to 34. 

Ok, that was quite a lot.

Not to mention, there were still also servants who followed them around and might have been trapped.

Unless… the total number of rooms were not 9 but it was actually a repeat of rooms for others with the difference being the sequence. But it would make things too complicated and Lin Xiao didn't think that it would be possible either.

Hmm?

Lin Xiao was surprised himself when he found out that he had thought about so many things within such a short period. Was this the effect of having his mind stronger than before?

"There's someone else here."

"Bah, the treasure is so much. Why do you care about him?" Sang Guan asked back. His clothes were tattered, clearly the sign of him not having good experience on the way to reach this place. 

"You're right."

There was faint movement of Qi from their back and the three youths were putting up their guards once more. Their servants were only 2 left and they were also keeping their guard up.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. "Lin Hu didn't you tell me that there can only be two outcomes from failure to get the treasure, which is either death or getting the treasure? How come it didn't seem that way to them?"

"Substitute technique." Lin Hu paused for a moment as he knew that it was a high martial art that was a bit magical. "There's a technique to switch you with your servant's life under a special soul contract. This would allow the attack that can kill you to be diverted to the servant, which will kill them instantly."
