Lu Lin smiled at Kui.
"I don't have any particular ideas, but I do have a surefire way to pass."
"Oh? What way?"
Kui asked at once.
He had been trying to deduce True Venerable Fire King's purpose, but he still hadn't come up with a single clue.
How had Lu Lin managed to find a solution so quickly?
And a surefire way to pass, no less.
"It's simple. If you die, I'm guaranteed to pass."

Kui immediately felt as though he'd been cut off.
At that moment,
