When Lin Fan came out, he entered a large space with a single staircase.

Looking around, Lin Fan saw that this space was actually quite small, there was no way that it would hold more than a hundred people. ​​

Moreover, there was only a single door, the door behind him. Where were the others going to come out from?

After looking around, Lin Fan took another step forward, but the moment he took this step, he felt a bit of pressure come over him. Of course, it was only a tiny bit of pressure that didn't affect him at all, but he could tell that there was something above that was putting pressure on him.

It wasn't hard to shrug it off and move to the staircase, but before leaving, Lin Fan didn't forget to take one final look to make sure he didn't miss anything.

Once he was done, he went up the stairs to the second floor.

When he arrived, he found that there were already other people there.

Lin Fan had taken around five minutes to come up, so that meant that there were already three hundred people who had started.

When he looked around, he found that there were actually less than twenty people around and they all seemed to be gathered around the staircase in the center. Most of them had difficult looks on their faces when they tried to move forward.

The only person who was looking relaxed was Angela standing there with her arms crossed, looking quite impatient.

The moment she saw Lin Fan come over, she waved at him impatiently, telling him to come over as quickly as possible.

Of course Lin Fan didn't dare delay, Angela was still quite scary even if she had mellowed out over this time. If he dared to keep her waiting, he might be beaten and her fists really were blind.

As Lin Fan was walking over, he also got a good look at the people around him.

At first there wasn't anyone who he recognized, but he could tell from their auras that they were either in the peak of the Gold Realm or in the Platinum Realm. It seemed like there really weren't weak people here.

But then as he walked forward, he suddenly found someone he did recognize.

It was the leader of the group who had led the attack on the King Beast, he had somehow made it out and was here.

When that leader saw Lin Fan staring at him, he stared back with a confused gaze. He searched his memories and it didn't seem like he knew Lin Fan, but why did it seem like Lin Fan knew him?

Still Lin Fan continued forward after pausing a second just to look at this leader, he actually still didn't even know this leader's name.

But when he was about to pass the final person in front, that person suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped him.

Lin Fan turned back to look at this person and saw a pair of burning eyes staring right back at him that somehow made him take a step back.

That person looked right at Lin Fan before asking, "Are you number one or number two?"

At this, all the others began seriously looking at Lin Fan.

Before they just thought that he had a special treasure that had allowed him to move so freely, but now that they thought about it, even if he did, how did he get this treasure? Could it be that he also had many other treasures as well?

If so, it wouldn't be strange if he had used them to gain first place.

Looking at him, there were those that could tell that he was only in the Gold Realm, which meant that as long as they were careful, there was a chance to take his treasures.

Treasures that could allow him to move freely here and give him first place in the first trial were definitely precious. As long as someone acted as a scapegoat first, they would be able to catch him off guard and take it from him. And right now, there was already someone acting as a scapegoat.

Now the only thing they needed to worry about was each other.

In their greed, they had forgotten one thing, there was also someone else standing ahead waiting for Lin Fan, someone who was slowly losing their patience…

Moreover, she looked like she was quite relaxed standing there…

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look over this person. This person was someone with fire red hair and burning red eyes, it really made him feel like he was a person made of flames. But the one strange thing was that this person was quite short, the top of his head barely reached Lin Fan's chest.

Lin Fan slowly said, "Why would you think that?"

The little guy said, "Instinct."

Lin Fan just revealed a confused look and said, "Ha?" Before he came back to his senses and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The little guy just revealed a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you know or not, all that matters is, are you strong?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes a bit before relaxing them and shaking his head, "I don't think I'm strong."

The little guy didn't give up, "I can tell that you're strong and I like that. Fight me."

Lin Fan was confused once again, "Ha? What do you mean? Fight you? Why would I do that?"

The little guy said, "My name is Huo Yan and I love strong people, especially fighting strong people. From now on, you are my rival. I've had many rivals, but I'm the only one standing in the end."

Lin Fan threw off the little guy's hand and said, "I have no interest in being your rival, goodbye."

When Lin Fan was about to leave, the little guy suddenly released his life energy as he shouted, "It doesn't matter if you're interested or not, you will fight me and I will become stronger from beating you!"

It didn't come to Lin Fan as a surprise that this little guy was actually a Platinum Realm Expert, releasing his white flames. This little guy was ahead of everyone else, it was clear that he was quite strong.

But when he attacked Lin Fan, Lin Fan easily dodged this attack since the little guy was still under the pressure of the tower, making his attacks much slower than usual.

As for Lin Fan, after experiencing the auras that Angela and Momonga released, his spiritual sense had slowly developed and was much stronger compared to before. Now he could easily resist the auras of powerful experts without much trouble.

Lin Fan just took a few steps towards the staircase and the pressure soon enveloped the little guy, making it impossible for him to chase after Lin Fan. Even after releasing all his power, he couldn't push any further at all.

The little guy tried throwing white flames at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan just used the little drop of water law to easily push all the flames away.

Now everyone knew that Lin Fan wasn't a normal person. He could move so easily in this pressure and he could counter the attacks of a Platinum Realm Expert with such ease, they really shouldn't underestimate him.

During this time, no one dared to launch a sneak attack against Lin Fan, or rather they weren't able to since he had gone too deep for them to attack.

Lin Fan took one last look at the rest of people on the second floor, narrowing his eyes to reveal a cold look that swept over them before turning to move towards Angela.

The people on the second floor knew that Lin Fan had already seen through them, so most of them took back their greed, but there were some that still had greed in their heart. They still thought that Lin Fan could only do all this because of the treasures he had, not with his own skill.

As for Huo Yan, he exploded with flames as he shouted, "Don't run from me! I am your rival, you are destined to fight me and make me stronger!"

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head as he walked forward without turning back. In his heart, he couldn't help thinking, "What a narcissistic fellow."

When he reached Angela, she didn't say a thing as she moved behind him and they headed towards the third floor.

In front of everyone, the two of them walked up the stairs and disappeared from their sights.

At this, everyone confirmed that these two were first and second, but they had no idea who these people were.

The only shocking thing was that they really were young, both of them were clearly not even twenty years old yet!
