Chapter 601 The Master of Deception, Lin Moyu
In the air, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a sea of thunder appeared. Lin
In the void below the assessment platform, a large amount of lightning also rose.
Lairin spread its wings, murderous intent boiling.
Lin Moyu, who was extremely sensitive to murderous intent, instantly sensed Lairin's killing intent.
He knew that Lairin had let something slip and said something that shouldn't be said.
Even if he promised not to tell anyone, Lairin didn't fully believe him.
To keep a secret, a dead person is the safest.
It planned to break the rules and kill him.
Lairin, with murderous intent in its eyes, said, "I've thought about it and now give you two choices."
"The first choice, I kill you."
"The second choice, you stay here forever."
Lin Moyu chuckled. These two choices were like farts, unbearable to hear.
Lin Moyu showed no fear at all. Instead, he calmly said, "Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the [Dragon King's Palace]?"
Lairin shook its head, "It's not important anymore, and I have a reason to kill you."
This sentence already showed its determination, disregarding even the punishment.
Lin Moyu said, "Actually, I didn't hear much. I'm insignificant, and even if I told someone, no one would believe me."
Lairin still shook its head, "You don't understand. Some things I can't say, and you can't hear."
Lin Moyu indeed didn't understand why these things couldn't be said.
Wasn't it just that there might be another human world outside this world?
What's the big deal, why couldn't it be said?
But looking at Lairin, it seemed that there was a big secret involved.
Lairin said in a deep voice, "Don't waste time. Just two choices, make your pick."
Since that was the case, Lin Moyu's attitude also became tough, "I choose neither, and you might not be able to kill me."
Can't kill you?
To Lairin, this statement was simply a joke.
It, a dignified god-level thunder dragon, killing a level 70 human professional, wasn't it as easy as crushing an ant?
Naturally, it didn't believe Lin Moyu's words. Just as it was about to make a move, it suddenly trembled and was stunned on the spot.
Lin Moyu was holding a scale with complex patterns.
This was a dragon scale given to Lin Moyu by Antares.
In case of danger, Lin Moyu could activate it to return to Antares.
At the moment Lairin saw the dragon scale, its whole body began to tremble, "How did you get this?"
Now, it looked like a chicken with its neck pinched, unable to move.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Do you still think you can kill me?"
Lairin fell silent, and the killing intent gradually dissipated.
The answer was clear.
Lin Moyu held the dragon scale as if holding a life-saving talisman. "There are many secrets in this world. I've seen the artifact spirits left by the professionals of the previous era. I've seen those who risked their lives to challenge the near-divine. I know the legions with divine generals and near-divine commanders. I've met beings who guard the world eternally and have heard many stories..."
Every word Lin Moyu said made Lairin tremble, with electric snakes crackling around it.
Lin Moyu was mixing truths with lies. Some of the information was deduced from Antares's words, creating an illusion that he knew a lot.
His main skill was deception. Normally quiet, but when it came to deception, he had a knack for it.
Lin Moyu said sincerely, "Look, I know so many secrets. What you said isn't a big deal."
"Isn't it just about the multiverse? It's really nothing."
"I won't tell anyone. There's no benefit in doing so, and no one would believe me."
Lairin seemed moved and hesitated, "Really? You promise not to tell?"
Despite being powerful, dragons were apparently not very smart.
Lin Moyu seized the moment, "Yes, I won't lie to you."
"As an exchange, I can also tell you one of my secrets."
Lairin asked, "What is it?"
Lin Moyu said, "I have immunity to electric elements, so you can't kill me."
Lairin's eyes showed disbelief, "Elemental immunity is rare among humans, yet you possess it?"
"You can test it if you don't believe me!"
Lairin then struck Lin Moyu with a bolt of lightning.
Lin Moyu let the lightning flow through him, unaffected.
"Truly immune?"
Lairin sent several more lightning bolts, each stronger than the last.
Lin Moyu still felt nothing, standing motionless, letting the attacks pass.
After a series of tests, Lairin finally believed him.
With immunity to electric elements, killing Lin Moyu would be difficult.
Lairin was completely deceived by Lin Moyu again. It forgot about Lin Moyu's level, which was much lower than its own.
If Lairin used its full power and physical attacks, it might still be able to kill Lin Moyu.
But that was for ordinary professionals, not for Lin Moyu.
So Lin Moyu continued mixing truths and lies in his conversation with Lairin.
Lairin's killing intent completely vanished. From its core instincts, it felt it couldn't kill Lin Moyu.
But something seemed off, like it was missing something.
Lin Moyu put away the dragon scale, "Alright, let's pretend none of this happened. You said nothing, and I heard nothing."
"Let's proceed with the assessment."
Lairin's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Moyu's reminder.
Lin Moyu redirected the topic back to the assessment, preventing Lairin from thinking further.
Lairin took the bait, "Let's start the assessment."
"I'll explain the rules."
"The second test has only two requirements: arriving here and surviving my attacks for ten minutes."
"My attacks will be between levels 80 to 83, a challenge for you, considering attributes increase significantly after level 80."
"But since you're immune to electric elements, even my divine-level attacks will be ineffective against you."
"So let's just go through the motions."
Lin Moyu wanted this outcome, "Alright, let's go through the motions."
Acting was his forte.
The assessment began in a peculiar atmosphere, both parties understanding the pretense.
A protective shield rose, covering the entire assessment area.
Lairin breathed out dragon breath, turning the assessment area into a sea of thunder.
Thunder roared, deafening.
The thunder sea covered the heavens and the earth, like a world-ending disaster, engulfing Lin Moyu completely.
Whether viewed with eyes or sensed with spirit, the thunder sea was extremely powerful, reaching the peak of level 83.
For a level 70 professional, such an attack would usually mean instant death.
But within the thunder sea, Lairin and Lin Moyu were just staring at each other.
Lin Moyu found it amusing.
Lightning passed through him without causing any harm.
At this moment, Lairin was thoroughly convinced of Lin Moyu's immunity to electric elements.
"To be completely immune to elements, this is rare."
"It seems only the lightning of laws..."
Lairin looked at Lin Moyu, thoughts swirling like waves.
But it kept its mouth shut, not daring to speak more.
It had already said many wrong things. If those got out, the impact would be significant.
Now, it could only choose to trust Lin Moyu, hoping he wouldn't spread its words.
Lin Moyu seemed to understand its thoughts and gave it a reassuring look.
The ten-minute assessment time quickly passed, and the thunder sea disappeared.
In the assessment area, Lin Moyu remained calm and composed.
Lairin coughed lightly, "You've passed the second test. Now you can choose to continue the assessment or take your reward and leave."
"If you continue and succeed, the reward will double. If you fail, you'll lose all rewards and might even lose your life."
"Now, make your choice."
It didn't specify the rewards or the difficulty of the next test.
Like a riddle, Lairin only gave a hint, with no clear answer.
This was the rule of the dungeon, to make choices in the unknown, testing oneself.
Lin Moyu didn't hesitate, "I choose to continue."
He hadn't obtained Antares's dragon orb yet. He couldn't quit now and had to keep going.
Lairin said, "Are you sure? The current reward is already good."
He had passed this stage due to his electric immunity, not his strength.
The next test would be harder, and Lin Moyu, at level 70, might not succeed.
Lin Moyu was firm, "I'm sure, let's continue."
Lairin didn't try to dissuade him further. By the rules, it shouldn't have said the previous sentence.
"Alright then."
It let out a dragon roar, echoing through the dungeon.
Behind the assessment platform, another staircase appeared.
