Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"etc!"

Yang Xian blurted it out.

The elder's aged wolf eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cunning and calculating nature.

"What? Do you want to change your choice?"

Her voice, deep and resonant, echoed in the empty stone chamber, "I've already warned you, you only have one chance to choose. Once you make a choice, you can't change it!"

Yang Xian: "..."

Is this a targeted invitation?

I want you to behave yourself towards Feng from now on and not have any ulterior motives.

No, no, now is not the time to think about that.

Feng's presence was clearly just behind the third door, how could it have disappeared in an instant?

Now, he could clearly sense that the little wolf had moved to the leftmost door.

This situation is similar to a casino where, after the gamblers have placed their bets, the dealer can still manipulate the dice in the dice cup at will.

How do you play this?

"You have some impressive skills, senior."

Yang Xian suppressed his shock and tried to keep his voice calm. "After I made my choice, they moved Feng to another room. They only gave me one chance to choose, and no matter what I chose, it seemed like I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder remained unmoved and simply replied, "The rules are very clear. You have already made your choice. Now, all we need to do is see if the young master is in the room you chose."

The implication is that the process is unimportant; only the result matters.

If he guesses correctly, Yang Xian will be able to leave with the little wolf.

If he guesses wrong, Yang Xian will have to stay here obediently and become the live-in son-in-law of the Wolf Clan.

hateful!

Yang Xian's eye twitched.

The rules are clearly stated, but they don't say that you can secretly move the wolf away after I've made my selection!

Isn't this bullying?!

It's an unsolvable dead end!

"No! That's not right..."

Yang Xian forced himself to calm down.

If this is truly an unsolvable situation, then why did these elders bother to design these three challenges?

Why not just tie yourself up and stay here?

Yun watched this scene quietly from the side; the noble and aloof clan leader's face revealed no emotion.

She also wanted to know how this human, whom her daughter had taken a liking to, would solve the problem set by her elder.

The Grand Elder simply closed his eyes, awaiting Yang Xian's response.

Behind the leftmost stone gate...

Feng was pacing anxiously.

"My location has just changed..."

"Master has definitely passed the first two levels and has arrived here!"

She pricked up her ears, trying to catch any sounds outside, but the stone chamber was sealed off by the Grand Elder's spatial restriction, cutting off all noise.

"Master! I'm here!" Feng couldn't help but shout out to the outside.

Unfortunately, her cries were destined never to reach the outside world.

However, Yang Xian, who was in the center of the stone chamber, suddenly felt a jolt.

Although he didn't hear any sound, through the faint connection between the contract, he seemed to sense the little wolf's anxious emotions.

"As expected of the Grand Elder, the level he designed is different from the previous two levels."

Yang Xian suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the stone chamber.

If the first challenge tested my understanding of the laws of space, the second challenge tested my attack power...

So what exactly is being tested in this third challenge?

Do you have the courage to break with convention?

After choosing a door, rush to another room to find Feng, and then bring her into the room you chose.

No, that would be too simplistic and crude; it wouldn't qualify as a test at all.

"What should I do...?"

Yang Xian's mind raced through countless thoughts in a flash, and suddenly he realized a crucial point.

If the Grand Elder can move Little Wolf away, why can't she move her back?

I may not have that ability, but Feng does!

She is a space-type demon beast. Although her strength is not as great as the Grand Elder's, she can still travel short distances through space.

This challenge is not just a test of my abilities alone.

It's a test of our teamwork!

After I selected a room, Feng was able to travel to the room I specified!

The Grand Elder slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his murky wolf eyes.

"Well? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, that's all," Yang Xian replied crisply.

Huh? That's it?

The Grand Elder was somewhat surprised.

Judging from his reaction just now, he must have realized that the young master had been moved away by the old man.

Doesn't he intend to try some method to hint to the young master so that the young master can travel back to the original room?

Are you just going to give up like this?

"However..." Yang Xian spoke again, "I'll open this door!"

Just as Yang Xian was diverting Yun and the Grand Elder's attention...

He had already rapidly transmitted a message through his soul connection with the little wolf.

"Maple, quickly use 'Spatial Power'..."

"Go back to the room we used to be in!"

The two parties to the contract can communicate simply through thought within a certain distance.

This is a unique way of communication between humans and their contracted beasts on Earth, something the Grand Elder of this secret realm could never possibly know.

Behind the leftmost stone gate, Feng, who was pacing anxiously, suddenly perked up his silver ears.

"It's the master's voice!"

"My master is calling me back!"

Yang Xian opened the door himself to prevent Feng from being moved back early and then taken away again by the Grand Elder.

What he had to do was to make the little wolf return to its original position the instant the door opened.

No time was given for the Grand Elder to react!

Yun and the Grand Elder watched silently as Yang Xian walked toward the heavy stone door.

Everyone thought Yang Xian just wanted to personally reveal his own defeat.

At this moment, Yang Xian's hand was already on the stone door.

He took a deep breath and shoved the stone door open!

"Squeak..."

The heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene behind it.

The moment the door was pushed open, a silver light flashed across the room.

When the stone door was fully opened, a silver wolf was sitting obediently in the center of the room.

"How could that be!"

The elder's expression froze completely.

That's impossible! The young master wasn't even there a moment ago!

Is it a coincidence? Or did they plan it in advance?

But I blocked out all the sound from these eight rooms, so how did they manage to communicate?
