When Wang Jian appeared again, he was just a single step away from Lin Fan.
The sword that he had raised was already stabbing forward, aimed right at Lin Fan's heart and it moved at a speed that most of the young masters around them couldn't see.
However, even if the young masters around them couldn't see it, that didn't mean that Lin Fan couldn't see it.
He could easily see the sword that came ever closer to his body and at the very last second, he moved at a speed that was even faster than Wang Jian.
Just by taking a single step to the right, the sword went right past Lin Fan harmlessly. However, after dodging the sword, Lin Fan didn't stop moving.
With a quick spin on one foot, he brought his hand behind Wang Jian and pushed him right past him. Wang Jian had wanted to stop as soon as he saw that his attack missed and to spin around to attack Lin Fan again, but he wasn't able to stop with the added momentum from Lin Fan's slap on his back.
With that added force, Wang Jian flew right past Lin Fan, right past Mo Ze Chen, and headed right at the fountain that had been behind Lin Fan. That was the main reason why Lin Fan had stood where he had been standing, it was all because there was the fountain behind him.
As for why he needed that fountain, he felt that Wang Jian needed to cool his head in the water.
As Wang Jian flew forward, he slightly went up in the air since Lin Fan had aimed to send him a bit up into the air before landing right into the fountain. There was a large splash where he had landed, but then there was nothing else.
Everyone was surprised since they had all expected Wang Jian to come out immediately, but after waiting for a few seconds, it was clear that he wasn't coming up.
Lin Fan was also surprised when he saw this because he thought that Wang Jian would immediately jump out of the fountain to attack him again, but it didn't seem like he was going to do that which was a pleasant surprise for Lin Fan. But of course he didn't let his guard down since this might have also been a ploy from Wang Jian to make him let down his guard. He wasn't certain because he didn't know Wang Jian that well, so naturally he wasn't certain what kind of fighting style he had.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter waiting a full minute and seeing that Wang Jian still wasn't coming out, everyone started getting doubtful.
Even if Wang Jian wanted to hide in the fountain and ambush Lin Fan, he should have known that this didn't work after not seeing Lin Fan approach for this long. So why was he still staying in the fountain?
That was, unless something had happened to him?
When this thought came into their minds, no one made a move and they raised their guards against the fountain, that was everyone except for the other people from the Myriad Sword Hall.
While Wang Jian was a lone wolf who went by himself, the Myriad Sword Hall definitely wouldn't just send him alone to this exam. There were other groups that had members from the Myriad Sword Hall that were present.
To these members of the Myriad Sword Hall, they were even more in awe of Wang Jian because in their faction, Wang Jian was like a god. He was the number one expert of their generation and it was because of him that they could raise their heads up high when facing the other factions.
If something were to happen to him, it would not only affect their faction, but also themselves since the elders would definitely blame them for letting something happen to Wang Jian.
Those juniors from the Myriad Sword Hall immediately ran past Lin Fan and went over to the fountain, looking into the fountain for Wang Jian.
However, when they looked in, they couldn't find a single thing.
There was no sign of Wang Jian in the fountain at all, it was like he had completely disappeared without leaving a trace.
Seeing this, the juniors of the Myriad Sword Hall couldn't help feeling worried because it seemed more and more likely that something had happened to Wang Jian.
They began moving around the fountain and trying to find Wang Jian in the waters, but even after circling around, they couldn't find a trace of Wang Jian. There wasn't even a single wisp of his life energy that was left in these waters.
Feeling the weight of this anxiety looming over them, one of these Myriad Sword Hall juniors finally couldn't take it and reached his hands into the water out of desperation, trying to create waves to see if anything would happen. However, when this Myriad Sword Hall junior put their hands into the water, there was a strange force that suddenly appeared.
Before the Myriad Sword Hall junior could even react, he had been pulled into the water by some strange force and had disappeared just like Wang Jian.
The other Myriad Sword Hall juniors and all the young masters stared at this fountain in shock. Even Mo Ze Chen was staring in shock at the fountain since he couldn't understand what was happening.
There was only a single person that had a different expression here, which was Lin Fan who had his brows knitted.
The reason why he had knitted his brows was because there was a familiar sensation that came from the fountain the moment the Myriad Sword Hall junior was pulled in. This was a sensation that he was familiar with since it was a law that he had control over.
What came from the fountain was the sensation of spatial laws.
Lin Fan hadn't been able to sense it the first time since he had been focused on Wang Jian, but this second time, he had been able to easily sense it.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan waved his hand and pulled out a rat which he dropped right into the fountain.
As soon as the rat touched the fountain, there was a golden glow that appeared in the water as the sensation of spatial laws appeared again. There was the same force that pulled the Myriad Sword Hall junior down that appeared again, pulling the rat into the water before the rat disappeared without a trace.
It was clear that there was something in the fountain that was activating the spatial laws to pull whatever entered away and it only activated for living beings. But that didn't mean that Lin Fan could easily enter it. After all, it was very likely that there were other traps waiting for him on the other side.
That was the main reason why Lin Fan had pulled out the rat since he wanted to use it to test this fountain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce the rat was gone, Lin Fan asked Brainy in his mind, "How is it?"
Brainy was silent for a bit at first, but then it said, "It's no good. I don't know where it went, but it went far away where the spiritual sense connection was severed. I can't see a thing."
Lin Fan wasn't too disappointed or surprised since he had already expected this.
Since spatial laws were being used to teleport something away, then they must be taking the people to a special place. Naturally there would be barriers around that special place to prevent people from peeking in with spiritual sense.
Seeing that there was no way of seeing what was beyond this portal, Lin Fan knitted his brows once again.
It was clear that this should be the next step in this trial since as far as he remembered, there wasn't this golden glow with that water previously, so this should have been something that appeared after the trials were complete.
Mo Ze Chen saw Lin Fan looking at the water and knew that Lin Fan was definitely planning something crazy, but he had already stuck with Lin Fan all this time, so he wasn't planning on leaving him just yet.
Since he could pretty much guess what Lin Fan was thinking, he had already moved closer to where Lin Fan was standing.
After another minute of pause, Lin Fan turned to see Mo Ze Chen beside him and he revealed a faint smile of pleasant surprise.
Mo Ze Chen had already guessed what was coming, but that didn't mean that he didn't regret his choice. It was just too bad that it was already too late to regret all the bad choices that he had made during this time.
Lin Fan didn't grab Mo Ze Chen's hand, but rather he grabbed Mo Ze Chen by the back of the collar and threw him right in.
After the large splash that Mo Ze Chen's slightly chubby body made, it was Lin Fan's turn. Without even turning to look at the young masters that were behind him, Lin Fan stepped up to the fountain and put one foot on the edge before jumping right in, creating his own splash.
All that was left after that were the stunned young masters standing there, still unclear of what just happened.
