Chapter 423: Chosen’s trial (8)

Lin Fan couldn't help staring at the golden aura around his blade.

He did have a gold glow around it since it was the law of power that he had, but he was certain that this extra layer of golden light didn't come from him.

As he was looking at it, after the ghost principal had turned to ashes, the golden glow slowly disappeared from his blade and crept back into him.

Lin Fan could see it creeping back up the blade towards the hilt where his hand was and once it reached the hilt, it crawled up his hands towards his head. It slowly crawled all the way up his hands and reached his neck before going further up, but Lin Fan couldn't see where it was going because it went right to his head.

Lin Fan saw that Mo Ze Chen was looking at him, so he asked, "Where is the golden glow going?

Mo Ze Chen had been in a daze as he watched Lin Fan cut down the ghost in a single slash. Even after slapping himself and feeling the pain, it still didn't seem real to him, but the scene in front of him didn't change.

It ended with the ghost principal disappearing into a pile of ashes and Lin Fan standing there covered in golden light.

But when Lin Fan called out to him, Mo Ze Chen trembled before coming out of his daze.

He looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Boss, did you say something?"

Lin Fan said once again, "Where is the golden glow going?" But this time, his tone was much sharper.

Mo Ze Chen could hear this tone in his voice and quickly followed the golden glow that was retreating from Lin Fan's body, following it until it reached a point on his forehead and disappeared.

After seeing this, Mo Ze Chen said, "Boss, it went into your forehead and disappeared."

Lin Fan couldn't see his own forehead, so he didn't bother looking up. However, he did fall into deep thought as to what this golden glow could be…

He was certain that it wasn't power that belonged to him because he hadn't been able to control it at all, so it had to have something to do with these ruins.

As he thought about it, he realized that he had seen this golden glow before. It was the exact same golden glow that was around the Chinese words that only he could see. Did that mean that this golden glow came from them?

But then what did the ghost principal mean by calling him their "saviour"?

What did the people trapped in these ruins need to be saved from?

As Lin Fan fell into deeper thought, he was suddenly snapped out of it from the wails that came from outside.

It was as if the ghosts outside had sensed the death of the ghost principal and were losing themselves in grief.

Lin Fan checked with Brainy on the situation and Brainy said, "I can't control them anymore. They won't follow my puppets, they seem like they're coming here."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but he also quickly turned to look at the golden glowing pen that was on the table. This was what they came for after all and if they took it, this trial should end.

Lin Fan moved over to the table and reached out his hand to grab the golden glowing pen, but right before he touched it, he suddenly stopped his hand from reaching forward.

Mo Ze Chen saw this and he revealed a nervous look.

He could naturally hear the sounds of the ghosts wailing outside and judging by how they were slowly getting louder, he could also tell that they were approaching them.

Mo Ze Chen knew that if all the ghosts from before were to arrive, they would have no way out since this principal's office actually didn't have a single window. If they were trapped, even if Lin Fan was powerful, they definitely wouldn't be able to push their way out.

Not to mention that Lin Fan must have spent quite a bit of energy taking care of the ghost principal just now.

Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan standing there hesitating and he couldn't help asking, "Boss, what are you doing?"

Lin Fan didn't register what Mo Ze Chen said at first since he was still thinking, but then he turned to Mo Ze Chen and said, "You take the pen." After saying this, he took a step back and brought his hand back to his side.

Mo Ze Chen was taken aback when he heard this and then when he saw Lin Fan just standing there looking at him, he couldn't help revealing an even more confused look.

Now that they were here, did it matter who took the pen?

They should take it and get out of here while they still could.

As soon as this thought passed through Mo Ze Chen's mind, he immediately turned away from Lin Fan to look back at the golden glowing pen and reached out to grab it.

However, what he expected didn't happen.

The moment he grabbed the golden glowing pen, there was nothing that changed around them. He could still hear the wails of the ghosts and he could hear that they were getting closer.

Mo Ze Chen revealed a stunned look as he turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Lin Fan ignored him again and continued to watch the golden glowing pen. However, in the end, he didn't see anything change with it.

Since he couldn't see anything, Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "Give me the pen."

Mo Ze Chen was confused why Lin Fan would say this since he didn't think that it mattered who took the pen. He was certain that the same thing would happen when he gave the pen to Lin Fan, but he was proven wrong in the end.

The moment the pen touched Lin Fan's hand, there was a different reaction. There was a wave of golden light that suddenly spread out all around them before all the ghost wails suddenly fell silent.

There was only silence around them, but they didn't have time to care about that right now.

When Lin Fan's hand had made contact with the pen, the golden glow around the pen also began to change. The golden glow suddenly began to flow around the pen before creeping up Lin Fan's hand.

In fact, this was what had happened to all the golden glow that Lin Fan had seen before, starting from the first time when he pressed on that podium to open the door to these ruins.

It was just too bad that Lin Fan had never paid any attention to this and hadn't seen the golden glow flow into his head, so he didn't know about it until now. Seeing this giant patch of light slide up his arm to reach his head, it would be hard to miss. As the golden glow went past his eyes, all he could see was gold in the end.

But while he only saw gold, he also saw a few scenes appear in front of his eyes, a few scenes of the past…

When the golden glow had disappeared, Lin Fan's expression had completely changed.

Mo Ze Chen saw this and he couldn't help asking, "Boss, what happened?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything though since he was still processing what he had just seen.

If that was what was going on here, then what were they doing designing all these trials?

Why didn't they just let these people go free?

When Lin Fan came back to the senses, he ignored Mo Ze Chen and walked out of the door into the hallway. Once he came out, he saw all the kids in front of him and he immediately stopped.

Mo Ze Chen had been following behind Lin Fan when he suddenly noticed all the kids standing in the hallway. As soon as he did, he immediately stopped and raised his weapon, but he also couldn't help taking a step back since there really were just too many of them outside.

But it was a good thing that they didn't mean any harm to the two of them.

The kids had already changed back from their ghost forms.

The kids looked at Lin Fan and they could see the faint golden glow around him.

One of the kids came forward to stand in front of Lin Fan and he looked up at him as he asked, "Big brother, will you save us?"

Lin Fan looked down at the little kid and patted him on the head before saying, "I will."

All the kids looked up at Lin Fan with bright smiles as they said, "Thank you, big brother."

Then they all ran off in different directions and disappeared from Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen's sight.

When they reacted again, all the kids and teachers were gone and there was no one left in front of them.

Mo Ze Chen turned back to look at Lin Fan as he asked, "Boss, what was that?"

Lin Fan just looked down at the pen in his hand before throwing it to Mo Ze Chen and walking off.

Mo Ze Chen looked down at the pen and after a few seconds, he put it away in his Storage Ring before following behind Lin Fan.

Once they came out of the school, it suddenly collapsed behind them and turned into rubble.
