Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 407: The Arena Battles (9)

Chapter 407: The Arena Battles (9)

"You're great, Brother! But you should have hold back a little bit more," Lin Yun praised his brother the moment Lin Xiao came down.

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "I already hold back enough."

"Tsk. You don't really have to hold back. There are a lot of people who want to see you show your prowess." Fan Ling shook her head. She had noticed that there were a lot of people who wanted to challenge Lin Xiao and only waited for him to recover.

After all, if Lin Xiao gave reason that he was too tired, their scheme would fall.

"If they want to come, they're free to do so." Lin Xiao laughed. He smiled faintly and looked at Lu Jian. "Names."

"Ah, alright."

In the end, Lu Jian gave the list to Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao randomly picked one. As it turned out, the young man was still far from reaching Lin Xiao's capabilities and unable to defeat him. It didn't take long for him to be kicked out of the stage.

"If this is life and death's arena, there will be a lot of corpses," Prince Lin San muttered, somehow recalling the nightmare when he had to fight in that life and death arena for some petty money.

A prince… had to bet his life just to earn money…

He would never reveal this matter to anyone in the future. It was such an embarra.s.sment for him to be put into such perilous situation just because of money. He didn't lack any money at all, alright?

"He's already at rank 456." Lin Yun looked at the other side of the arena. "If those people want to seek him for trouble, they would have come today."

"Prince Lin Bo w.a.n.g never present for the arena battles," Prince Lin San informed. "He's a low key person and only his followers could be seen here. In fact, there was no one who knew how powerful that prince is."

"Did he not use the training room?"

"He can buy it easily, do you believe it?"

Lin Yun's lips twitched. If one could get it for free, why would they chose the difficult one? However, for the sake of hiding one's power, Lin Xiao himself didn't reveal too much of his ability either.

Well, everyone had their own thoughts, then.

"Who's first place?"

"Prince Lin Fei."

"…"

The others sighed at the thought of Prince Lin Fei being so high profile while Prince Lin Bo w.a.n.g was the complete opposite. It seemed that they had to make sure that they were careful enough when dealing with those two princes.

"His Highness is not planning to get the first place, right?" Prince Lin San asked in low tone.

Lu Jian shook his head. He had heard that Lin Xiao himself told them that he would only try to get somewhat good position but would not try too much. It was not the time for him to reveal his card.

Swis.h.!.+

Lin Xiao jumped down the arena. "It's so boring. I thought that Prince Lin Fei will send his men to challenge me."

"They're at rank higher than you. It's unbecoming of them to come and challenge you." Prince Lin San was speechless. If there were any cultivators who tried to challenge those at lower rank than them, they would be mocked.

No one here was that brainless, alright?

Lin Xiao then thought about it before nodding. Right, those people were all at rank higher than him. It seemed that his goal of provoking the two princes today would have to stop. He had already battled with Prince Lin Hong and some of the other weaker folllowers.

With his current ranking, he could enjoy some time in the training room.

"Your Highness."

Hearing the call, Lin Xiao was startled. He turned to turn around and noticed Lan Qing Xi stood not far from him. It took him some time before he could remember him as a strange senior who asked him about the 'Sword River Bearing' skill back at the library.

Back then, he didn't really treat this senior seriously because he didn't know much about the other party. But little did he expect that Lan Qing Xi would end up searching for him.

"Is there anything, Senior Lan?"

Lan?

Fan Ling then turned to look at Princess Lan Yi Hua but it was clear that she didn't know this senior. It was then he recalled that there was various writing for Lan and their surname must be different.

"Since you're planning to leave, do you mind if I ask for some pointers?" Lan Qing Xi asked.

Lin Xiao blinked his eyes then signaled to Lu Jian to tell him more about this senior. He barely knew anything about him.

Lu Jian then sent voice transmission. "Senior Lan is already at Golden Core Stage 2 and already have qualification to graduate. He's still staying here because he wants to learn the skill from the library."

Even though Lin Xiao had already read the information beforehand, his memory was indeed not too good when it came to things that he barely paid any attention to. Because of that, he only knew bits and pieces regarding this Senior Lan Qing Xi whom he only met once.

"Ah… in that case, shall we talk somewhere else?" Lin Xiao asked while scratching his head.

Lan Qing Xi smiled and nodded. "Sure."

As the group walked further, several people who were watching from the sidelines moved. Some returned back to their residence while some followed behind the two of them secretly.

They wanted to know what these two were planning to do.

…

Prince Lin Bo w.a.n.g's side.

"Lan Qing Xi is coming over to Lin Xiao's side?" Prince Lin Bo w.a.n.g asked in low tone. He was playing with the sword in his hand as he stood in the middle of the training room. This training room belonged to himself but it was outside the academy.

"Yes, Your Highness." The man kneeled on the ground, not daring to look at Prince Lin Bo w.a.n.g in fear that he would be killed because of petty reason.
