Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: The Thousand-Faced Extreme Fire

The challengers who did not understand the changes in the magma could not immediately guess that they were playing a terrestrial chess game.

Therefore, in order to obtain more information, they would continue to randomly kick the enormous stones, and before they knew it, they had lost.

In some cases, a few challengers didn’t even realize the format of the challenge until they were on the verge of dying.

Even Lin An, who had already figured out the content of the challenge right from the start, was at a disadvantage because of the random placement of his first move.

After analyzing the visible lava ponds in his vicinity, Lin An realized that the level was extremely vicious.

When he thought about it, Lin An couldn’t help but feel extremely fortunate. He was glad that he had the success rate system, or else he would have definitely died in the terrestrial chess game.

Even though past challengers had tried to come up with some moves during the terrestrial chess game, their efforts had borne no fruits. Luckily, Lin An had a significant trump card.

The success rate system’s virtual screen popped up in front of him and analyzed the terrestrial chessboard.

[The success rate of pushing down this stone is 20%.]

[The success rate of pushing down that stone is 21%.]

[The success rate of pushing down the stone to the left is 82%.]

…

Without any hesitation, Lin An pushed the stone with the 82% success rate into the lava pond, and the pond immediately dried up.

He then noticed that the success rate of the stones in front of him had increased, and he was overjoyed.

[The success rate of pushing down this stone is 100%.]

After a few moves, there was only one stone left, and Lin An was on the brink of winning the chess game.

Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling of disappointment came over him. There was nobody present to see him advance, and he felt that he had missed an opportunity to show off.

Dong!

The sound of the rock falling into the lava pond rent the air.

Lin An had cleared the level.

In an instant, the surrounding environment changed drastically, and he suddenly found himself in a spacious hall.

There were ten boxes in the middle of the hall, and ten large screens were hanging along the walls of the hall. One of the screens was blank, but the other nine screens showed the progress of the other nine cultivators.

Lin An chose to focus his attention on the ten boxes in the middle of the hall,

There were ten cultivators who had entered the Dragon God Illusionary Realm, and there were ten boxes in the hall. It seemed that any cultivator who cleared the level was entitled to one treasure.

However, since Lin An could touch all the ten boxes, he discovered that any cultivator who cleared the level could choose at will.

Therefore, the first cultivator to clear the level had a tremendous advantage to go through the treasures and obtain the best reward.

Abruptly, Lin An used the success rate system’s virtual screen to scan the boxes, and it indeed gave him a hint:

[The probability of obtaining a top-grade treasure from box number one is 42%.]

[The probability of obtaining a top-grade treasure from box number two is 12%.]

[The probability of obtaining a top-grade treasure from box number three is 21%.]

…

[The probability of obtaining a top-grade treasure from box number ten is 92%.]

The probability of obtaining a top-grade treasure from box number ten was 92%, which was the highest probability out of the ten boxes.

Thus, Lin An chose the tenth box.

After he picked up the box and opened it, he discovered a small golden flag. Its flagpole was made of gold, while the surface of the flag had exquisite and complicated patterns.

Suddenly, a notification popped up on the virtual screen:

[This is the thousand-faced extreme fire, a mid-grade immortal treasure.]

Lin An was overjoyed. He had actually obtained a mid-grade immortal treasure! Moreover, one of the reasons he had entered the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm had been to secure the thousand-faced extreme fire.

Even though he had added the Eastern Emperor Bell to his arsenal during his adventures in the mystic realm, it was only a magic treasure.

Despite the bell’s rank as a high-grade magic treasure, it was still inferior to an immortal treasure, and even a low-grade immortal treasure could crush it.

The thousand-faced extreme fire was actually a mid-grade immortal treasure, and it was incomparable to the Eastern Emperor Bell.

After holding the thousand-faced extreme fire in his hands, Lin An understood its use.

The thousand-faced extreme fire could trigger a large-scale fire riot, but after using it once, he would have to allow it to cool down for some time so that it could automatically repair and recharge itself.

The power of the thousand-faced extreme fire customarily formed a bond with its user. Even if Lin An used it at his current cultivation level, the fire riot it would trigger would be difficult for even a nascent soul cultivator to withstand.

As Lin An admired his new treasure, some loud music suddenly played on the big screen to his right.

He hurriedly stored the thousand-faced extreme fire into his storage space and looked at the big screen.

Saint Zi Yan appeared to have completed her challenge, and Lin An was immediately shocked,

He felt that she was too abnormal. Not only was her cultivation the best among the younger generation, but her brainpower was also quite high. Under such a tough environment, she had actually won the chess game!

The scenery around Saint Zi Yan changed, and she appeared in the hall.

When she saw Lin An, she was instantly astonished. She hadn’t expected that Lin An would be the first cultivator to solve the chess game.

“Did you also solve the previous level based on feeling?”

After her initial shock, Saint Zi Yan didn’t show any killing intent towards Lin An. Instead, she teased him.

Lin An didn’t answer her. Now that the two of them were alone, he had to be careful and guard himself against an attack from Saint Zi Yan.

Previously, he hadn’t had to worry because Feng Hen and the rest of the cultivators had been present.

Even if Saint Zi Yan had made a move, Feng Hen would have definitely defended Lin An since he needed his help to successfully navigate the Dragon God Illusionary Realm.

However, now that Feng Hen was trapped in the terrestrial chess game level, he definitely wouldn’t be able to help Lin An.

Nevertheless, because of the thousand-faced extreme fire he had just obtained, Lin An wasn’t afraid of Saint Zi Yan.

It was just that he wanted to rely on the thousand-faced extreme fire to pass the upcoming trials, so he wasn’t willing to fight with Saint Zi Yan.

Suddenly, two of the big screens on the wall went blank. To their surprise, there was no change in the hall. After the big screens went out, a new cultivator did not teleport into the hall.

Lin An and Saint Zi Yan both realized that two of their colleagues had failed the challenge.

When Lin An studied the blank screens, he learned that one of the cultivators who had failed was a local from the camp, while the other was a woman who had been part of Saint Zi Yan’s sect.

Once he looked at the other big screens, Lin An felt that the remaining cultivators were in danger.

Abruptly, another big screen went out, and all of a sudden, the big screens on the wall all went blank one after the other.

After ten minutes, all the other cultivators had failed the challenge!

Saint Zi Yan looked at the blank screens with an uncertain expression, and she finally opened her mouth to address Lin An.

“Perhaps there is a possibility of reconciliation between us? To be honest, Li Kuang was only one of my subordinates. I didn’t have any special relationship with him. Back at the camp, I only threatened you for the sake of my sect’s face. Since there are no more disciples from my sect who know that you killed Li Kuang, and those who witnessed my threatening words are all dead, perhaps the two of us should end our rivalry. The road ahead is very dangerous. We should let down our guard and trust each other in order to have a greater chance of escaping.”
