Chapter 818, If He’s Been Possessed, That Would Be Quite the Spectacle

Translator: Silavin

 

Lu Fan’s attitude made Ning Shuan’er quite unhappy. She turned her head away. “*Hmph!* Wasn’t I just worried about you? Why are you treating me this way?”

 

Lu Fan laughed upon hearing this. “Worried about me? For you, wouldn’t it be exactly what you wanted if I died in the Secret Realm?”

 

“You…” Ning Shuan’er was livid, gritting her teeth. “Yeah, if you died in the Secret Realm, I’d be perfectly satisfied. So why didn’t you go to Hell?”

 

“Psycho!” Lu Fan couldn’t be bothered arguing with her. He muttered and stopped paying attention to her.

 

Ning Shuan’er was happy with this as well. She turned her head away so neither looked at the other.

 

This made Cui Ziyi, who was at the side, quite awkward. After quite some time, she finally thought to step forward and mediate. “Alright, alright, why are you two quarrelling again?”

 

“Lu Fan, Sister Ning doesn’t mean any harm. You shouldn’t treat her with that attitude. She was truly worried about you. Earlier when you didn’t come out, her anxious face was definitely not an act.”

 

Ning Shuan’er’s face reddened slightly. She warned. “Cui Ziyi, why are you telling him all this!? He’s right. I wish he’d just die. I was anxious earlier only because if he really died, I wouldn’t get to see his corpse. That would be unsatisfying!”

 

Cui Ziyi was helpless, momentarily unsure how to speak on Ning Shuan’er’s behalf.

 

Even as a woman, she did not understand the feelings between men and women. After all, she herself had never liked anyone.

 

She could at least more or less empathise with Ning Shuan’er’s thoughts. She could clearly sense that at the beginning, Ning Shuan’er truly held pure hatred for Lu Fan, with no other feelings.

 

But later, although Ning Shuan’er’s words and actions towards Lu Fan had not changed much, many small details were completely different from before.

 

For example, her gaze.

 

Previously, Ning Shuan’er looked at Lu Fan with only hatred, fierceness, and coldness.

 

But now, Ning Shuan’er clearly had some feelings for Lu Fan.

 

Therefore, when Ning Shuan’er said she had come to like Lu Fan a bit, it was not a lie. It was truly the case.

 

However, Lu Fan naturally did not believe her. At the same time, Ning Shuan’er could not possibly express her feelings when she had previously hated Lu Fan to the bone.

 

Thus, the relationship between the two became awkward.

 

Cui Ziyi wanted to help the two and push their relationship forward, but she had no experience as a matchmaker, and she had never seen two people as strange as Lu Fan and Ning Shuan’er.

 

Therefore, she was also stuck in a hard place.

 

Helpless, Cui Ziyi could only ensure these two did not continue arguing and worsening their relationship.

 

She quickly changed the subject, smiling at Lu Fan. “Um… Lu Fan, what did you encounter in the tenth Secret Realm? Why did it take you so long to come out? By the way, did you Clear it?”

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan couldn’t be bothered with Ning Shuan’er anymore. He nodded. “I Cleared it. The final Secret Realm was actually quite complex. It involves many things I can’t tell you. If I told you everything, I’m afraid even three days and three nights wouldn’t be enough.”

 

“Anyway, I did Clear. The reason it took so long was firstly because the Final Boss was too difficult to deal with, and secondly because the Final Boss mastered a way to freely move between two isolated spaces in the Secret Realm. If I couldn’t find the space where its main body was located, then no matter how much I attacked it, it would be useless.”

 

“At first I didn’t know this, and I fought it in both independent spaces, resulting in much wasted effort. But fortunately, I eventually saw through its trick and broke the connection point between the two spaces, merged the two spaces into one, leaving it nowhere to escape. That’s how I finally killed it and obtained the required materials.”

 

“So that’s how it is…” Cui Ziyi nodded as if understanding, though it was unclear whether she truly understood or not.

 

Cui Ziyi certainly did not know just how difficult it was to Clear the tenth Secret Realm.

 

But even given Lu Fan’s strength, he had still struggled for such a long time. One could imagine just how dangerous the tenth Secret Realm was.

 

Even if all the Players from the five major gangs of Southern Black Port entered together, they probably would not be able to Clear it.

 

At this moment, after Lu Fan finished speaking, everyone discovered that the Transport Array to the tenth Secret Realm had actually dimmed, then gradually disappeared.

 

Old Green, Old Ninth, and the others could not help but express their amazement, saying it seemed like the tenth Secret Realm was indeed different from other Secret Realms.

 

After other Secret Realms were cleared, they would temporarily close but would not disappear.

 

The tenth Secret Realm was clearly a one-time Secret Realm. Once it was cleared, it was gone.

 

However, this had no impact on those of Southern Black Port.

 

After all, the tenth Secret Realm was not something they could Clear anyway.

 

As long as the first nine Secret Realms remained, the Abyssal Rift would still have abundant resources.

 

Lu Fan estimated the appearance of the Abyssal Rift was not unrelated to the Abyssal Ancient God settling here.

 

Now that the Abyssal Ancient God was dead, the tenth Secret Realm, where it dwelt, would close, but the other nine Secret Realms should remain unaffected.

 

After all, as an Ancient God, even after being killed and entering slumber, it would still be a nutrient for this world, generating resources that fed back into the world.

 

Therefore, the people of Southern Black Port could still have their Abyssal Rift, while the remaining five major gangs would probably continue fighting over this Abyssal Rift for a long time.

 

Having obtained the materials he wanted, Lu Fan now had only one urgent matter: return to find Ouyang Bai Ge.

 

Ouyang Bai Ge was far truly too suspicious. Lu Fan had to understand her identity and learn why she knew that the Abyssal Ancient God was hidden here, and why she had lured him into killing the Abyssal Ancient God.

 

As for his Fourth Profession Change, Lu Fan did not dare consider undergoing it for now.

 

Theoretically speaking, having obtained the Abyssal Source, he could incorporate it into the Array himself, fusing it into a complete Fourth Profession Change Array.

 

However, after the Abyssal Ancient God incident, how could Lu Fan dare use this Array for his Fourth Profession Change?

 

The creator of this Array was the strange and suspect Ouyang Bai Ge.

 

And the crucial material for the Array was taken from an Ancient God.

 

Failing to undergo his Fourth Profession Change was a minor matter. At worst, Lu Fan could have someone else create a Fourth Profession Change Array for him.

 

But if Ouyang Bai Ge was scheming against him and caused him to be possessed by some Ancient God, that would be a far bigger problem!
