Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 359: The Bet

The aura around the examiner changed almost immediately. Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes when he sensed the power that belonged to Golden Core Stage. In the Examination Ground, this power would obviously only exist at floor 7 and above. Below that, the examiner would lower their rank to Foundation Establishment or even Body Training rank 10.

"Be careful."

Swish!

The moment the examiner no longer held back, he used his movement technique to appear right behind Ln Xiao. His sword was thrusted towards Lin Xiao.

Clang!

Inserting his own sword in between, Lin Xiao was also focusing on the attack. The rich Qi was a bit overwhelming for him, but he himself had a large reserve of Qi after the long training in that cave.

The only difference was the sheer quality and a bit of the amount.

"You’re not bad at all!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing with each other reverberated in the hall. The examiner was having fun, so do Lin Xiao. As Lin Xiao started to initiate his technique, the examiner was astounded.

Chilling Lake Sword, Fifth Stance!

Ice formed on the edge of Lin Xiao’s sword and spread all over towards the examiner with the guidance of the Qi.

Ss!

The examiner couldn’t move and realized that Lin Xiao had rested his sword on his neck. He heaved a sigh. "Your skill is not bad, but you might want to learn how to do the technique faster. Other cultivator who are more powerful than me wouldn’t allow you the chance to initiate it."

"Thank you for your guidance."

Lin Xiao also feel refreshed and kept his sword away. He looked at the senior and grinned. "So, can I return back now?"

The senior laughed. "Yes. You have passed the fifth stage. I’ll be waiting for the day you pass the other stages."

"That won’t be that long."

Swish!

Getting out of the tower, Lin Xiao’s name had already changed in the board. He looked at Teacher SU Luo, who was watching the board with widened eyes. She couldn’t believe that Lin Xiao managed to do what many others couldn’t do.

"You... you must be cheating! There’s no way that you..."

"How can the Examination Grounds allows student to cheat?" Lin Xiao asked in annoyance. He could see that the teacher had no intention of fulfilling the promise they made two years or so ago. "Do you not trust the Sun Dragon Academy, Teacher?"

"That’s..."

"Yeah, withhold your promise, Teacher Su!"

"You have already signed the agreement back then! Why don’t you keep your words?"

As the words were thrown to her face, Teacher Su Luo’s face turned dark and even darker. She was looking at Lin Xiao with hatred. "Do you think I’ll accept such result? Someone like you better be gone!"

Swish!

As they saw Teacher Su Luo attacked, the students were all shocked senseless. Who would have thought that the upright teacher would suddenly attack a student out of nowhere just like this?

As Fan Ling was about to raise her hand, Lin Xiao waved his hand. It was the signal to say that he could handle it.

Teacher Su Luo was at Golden Core Stage 2, which was also the same stage as most powerful cultivators in Sun Kingdom. To be able to become a teacher in Sun Dragon Academy, it had proven that she must be someone powerful too. It was quite unbecoming of her to attack a student.

However, Lin Xiao had sensed that the power of the teacher was fairly low. In fact, it was so low that he couldn’t believe this person was a teacher in Sun Dragon Academy.

After the brutal training with Prince Lin Yan and also the countless experience in the mountain to fight countless beasts, Lin Xiao was no longer the same youth as before. He had rich experience and also powerful ability that was able to allow him survive under the attack of normal Golden Core Stage 1 Cultivators.

’I have been keeping a low profile for so long.’

Now that he had revealed his identity as a prince, Lin Xiao knew very well that keeping too low of a profile would only make him end up in trouble.

Rather than keeping low profile forever, why not strike first and established his own dominance?

With that in mind, Lin Xiao began to attack!

Mountain Sword, Sixth Stance!

As he initiated his own attack, Lin Xiao directed it towards Teacher Su Luo. With just one attack, their Qi collided and exploded in midair. The temperature dropped down and ice formed at the place where the two of them collided.

It completely froze everything before the sword!

After constant training, Lin Xiao finally grasped the true move and meaning behind the move’s name!

Chilling Lake Sword, a sword that was capable to freeze everything in its path. In the early move, it was not apparent but as the higher the move was, it was clear that they had to be able to arouse the cold Qi in the air to form ice.

Bang!

Teacher Su Luo was pushed to the back as blood trailed on the corner of her lips. Her eyes, when she looked at Lin Xiao was filled with disbelief. She was over two ranks above Lin Xiao and naturally should have been able to defeat the brat so easily.

But that one attack was so powerful that it effectively stopped her movement.

Lin Xiao also creased his eyebrows. That was the strongest attack he could use from Mountain Sword. After all, he couldn’t enter the higher ranked place without passing the level seven first.

"You... how...?" Teacher Su Luo was confused and filled with disbelief. How come he managed to counter her move?

Lin Xiao waved his sword carelessly but if one were to pay close attention, they would know that he never lowered his guard. Looking at the teacher in front of him, Lin Xiao sneered. "Do you still think of me as cheating, Teacher Su Luo?"
