**Chapter 1161: The Manor’s Test, A Skeleton**
The book seed to pass through a layer of bubbles, and Lin Moyu’s vision blurred. Green instantly filled his sight. Lin Moyu found himself in a garden, with the ancient and peculiar buildings over ten thousand kiloters away.
On a flat plain, it was impossible to see clearly over such a distance. Yet, here, he could see them. The existence of the buildings served to guide the entrants, ensuring they didn’t lose their way.
Lin Moyu didn’t act rashly; he first sensed the changes in himself. The peculiar laws intertwined, suppressing his strength. Not only was his strength suppressed, but other aspects were as well.
"My soul is suppressed, and my ability to sense danger has weakened."
"Previously, Tang Zhen said that in this place, one would feel a heavy burden, as if carrying ten thousand pounds, making every move laborious."
"Not only does speed decrease, but strength also diminishes greatly."
"But I don’t feel that way. It seems my guess was correct; Tang Zhen and the others felt that way because their physical bodies were too weak."
"Additionally, with weakened perception, they couldn’t react to danger in ti."
Lin Moyu swung his fists and stretched his body. With a physical body at the peak of True God, he felt at ease here. However, Lin Moyu didn’t let his guard down. Many had entered the manor, including various races.
So races were naturally strong in body, having an advantage over humans. Lin Moyu pondered as he quickly moved forward. The benefits of a strong body were evident. He ran forward at an astonishing speed, creating a strong wind that bent the green grass on the ground.
His footsteps were heavy, sowhat reckless. Behind him, grass flew chaotically. Lin Moyu ran like a dragon, covering a thousand kiloters in no ti.
"According to Tang Zhen, the first test is a swamp!"
As the thought arose, he felt sothing strange underfoot. A sense of danger approached. Without thinking, Lin Moyu exerted force with his feet, leaping a thousand ters like a rocket. After landing, he continued to leap forward.
After several repetitions, the sense of danger disappeared. Lin Moyu thought to himself, "Not only can the soul sense danger, but a strong body can also sense it."
"It seems my choice to cultivate both body and soul was correct. Otherwise, the body could beco a weak point, creating a barrel effect."
The barrel effect ans that the capacity of a barrel is determined by its shortest plank. Lin Moyu continued to run without stopping. In no ti, he reached the 2000-kiloter mark, the second test.
Thunder roared in the sky, and a lightning bolt struck near Lin Moyu. The green grass instantly turned into a sea of fire, like a gasoline barrel igniting. With his speed, Lin Moyu could easily outrun the forming fire.
As long as he was fast enough, the fire couldn’t catch him. However, Lin Moyu stopped. He stood still, letting the fire engulf him. Flas quickly covered him, turning him into a man of fire.
The lightning in the sky disappeared, and no new bolts fell. The flas burned fiercely, distorting the surrounding space with their heat. Lin Moyu stood motionless in the fire. After a minute, the flas gradually extinguished.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Just as I thought."
"The flas contain no laws, just pure high temperature."
"As long as the body reaches the fifth tier of True God, there’s no need to fear the flas."
"Even a third-tier True God body would only get burned."
With strength suppressed, cultivators could only rely on their bodies. Those with weak bodies, unless they had powerful protective artifacts, faced high mortality rates. But powerful protective artifacts were hard to co by.
The common items available in trading centers weren’t sufficient. Mainly because strength was suppressed to the fifth tier of True God, making it hard to use God King artifacts. Otherwise, with Tang Zhen’s status, he would have had powerful protective artifacts.
With his guess confird, Lin Moyu continued running. Soon, he reached the 3000-kiloter mark. Countless blades of grass shot up, turning into arrows aid at Lin Moyu.
With a fifth-tier True God body, one could dodge using physical reflexes. Even taking a few hits wouldn’t be a big deal. But with a weak body, these arrow grasses were deadly.
As the arrow grasses shot, Lin Moyu saw a white-glowing door not far away. The door was the safe passage Tang Zhen ntioned. Entering it would provide temporary safety. The so-called safe passage was actually a path of abandonnt.
But even to abandon, one had to pass a test. Lin Moyu guessed this was due to the number of people. If there was only one person, perhaps no test was needed to abandon.
Reaching this point ant passing two tests. More people ant more danger. Fewer people ant more safety.
"It really resembles a single-player dungeon in a small world."
"And these arrow grasses are very similar to those in the Green Grassland of the small world."
Seeing the arrow grasses, Lin Moyu thought of the Green Grassland; they were too similar. The arrow grasses were fast and dense. Lin Moyu used his body’s reflexes to dodge quickly.
Here, soul perception was useless; only the body could be relied on. This was why Tang Zhen’s team lost four mbers in this test. Lin Moyu nearly perfectly dodged all the arrow grasses, quickly leaving the area.
He passed the third test. The next tests had no information; he could only rely on himself. The scene before him changed slightly. The pure grassland was no longer pure.
Colorful flowers appeared among the green, and many flowers grew on the grassland. He had seen these flowers outside the manor. So, this was a garden, not a grassland.
Or rather, the first 3000 kiloters were pure green grassland, and beyond 3000 kiloters, it beca a garden. The flowers added different colors and vitality to the place.
Lin Moyu could sll the enchanting fragrance of the flowers. At the sa ti, he sensed a unique aura in the space: death energy!
Indeed, it was death energy. These flowers brought no vitality but rather a somber death. Lin Moyu, who dealt with the undead army daily, was very familiar with the aura of death and couldn’t be mistaken. What he saw with his eyes was completely different from the real world.
As he moved forward, the fragrance grew stronger, and so did the death energy. "It’s the fragrance; it masks the soul’s perception."
The soul’s sensing ability was further suppressed, more severely than before. The soul’s ability to sense danger was completely nullified here. To sense danger, one could only rely on the body.
"The difficulty has increased!"
Lin Moyu realized the test’s difficulty had increased. The first three tests were just beginner trials; now ca the real test. Lin Moyu wasn’t one to spare flowers. He didn’t know how many flowers he had trampled along the way.
At the 4000-kiloter mark, the fourth test began. A fierce wind blew, sharp as knives, capable of peeling skin and cutting flesh. The wind hit Lin Moyu, making a tallic sound.
The wind lifted the flowers, revealing the ground beneath, where a skeleton lay!
