Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 448: Competitions

"Prince Fu Liang from Jade Snow kingdom is already Golden Core Stage 5..." Lin Xiao’s lips twitched when he read the information. He felt that after the restriction was lifted, he would be lagging behind soon.

Towards this... Lin Hu turned blind eyes. He knew very well that advancing from Golden Core Stage 4 to 5 required enormous amount of Qi. Added with him...

Lin Xiao had to absorb the required Qi for two people, two geniuses to be exact.

Those below 40 years old who had reached Golden Core Stage 5 in the entire place only amounted to two, which were Prince Fu Liang and Prince Lin Yan. The others couldn’t catch up to their insane speed.

As for others...

There were some who were above 40 years old and already an elder.

Lin Xiao couldn’t ask them to join either way since there was age limitation to participate in that 20 Years of Ancient Battlefield.

"You’re one of the few who didn’t have to participate, though." Prince Lin Xian glanced at Lin Xiao. No one would dare to try fighting against Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. "I should at least make an appearance at the very least."

"Why not try to fight against your first brother. I’m sure that no one will try to stop you after they see that."

"...Fine."

The real reason why no one would want to compete against Lin Xiao was because of the dragon that appeared when Lin Xiao seized the throne just a couple months before. The incident was fresh in everyone’s mind, so no one would be stupid enough to challenge Lin Xiao unless they wanted to suffer the wrath from the dragon.

So, while some people were preparing to participate in the competition to be able to get a spot from the two free spots (Prince Lin Yan, Prince Fu Liang, and Lin Xiao had confirmed a spot), Lin Xiao was instead sparring with Prince Lin Yan.

Swish!

"Be careful." Prince Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao and deftly moved to the side. He glanced sideways as several threads began to form.

Sucking Life Thread, Seventh Move!

Lin Xiao pursed his lips when he sensed the threads. It was actually a very ominous move skill. Prince Lin Yan only used it but he didn’t try to kill Lin Xiao since they were merely sparring.

After all, his thread was capable to suck lifeforce.

If one was not careful enough, they would be sucked dry by this move.

Chilling Lake Sword, Ninth Stance!

Bang!

The cold and chilling light permeated the entire training area, rendering those who wanted to move unable to. It seemed as if the air itself had frozen in time. Those who were watching were already livid as this was the first time someone ever used the sword skill to its fullest like this.

With Lin Xiao’s current stage, it was easy for him to showcase the full power of this Chilling Lake Sword Skill.

Bang!

The threads were destroyed and Prince Lin Yan stepped back. He nodded at Lin Xiao. "Your skill did indeed can counter the threads but it’s not that effective."

"I’m still not fast enough?" Lin Xiao furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes." Prince Lin Yan waved his hand and then turned around. "Come, let’s watch the competition."

"Alright."

From a far, Lin Xiao could see that the one standing on the arena this time was Princess Lan Yi Hua. After she had gained Phoenix Inheritance, she had started to showcase her full talent in fire element. With each of her move, fire danced and enveloped her opponent.

No one was a match for Princess Lan Yi Hua.

Bang!

The opponent was flung outside the ring. From the way it looked like, Princess Lan Yi Hua was also not far from advancing to Golden Core Stage 5...

Lin Xiao’s lips jerked at the thought because he felt that he would be lagging behind the others. No! This couldn’t do, he had to work harder so that he would be able to become much stronger.

He didn’t want to be the one to be chasing after others.

"Your Majesty," Prince Fu Liang greeted when he saw Lin Xiao.

While Lin Xiao was indeed the Emperor, he hated the title. After all, he could only be called King at best, so the others were tactful enough to just call him with His Majesty. Sometimes, they even chose to revert back to call him with ’His Highness.’

Lin Xiao nodded. "Has the competitions ended?"

"There’s still one more fight for Prince Lin San." Prince Fu Liang cupped his fist. His lips curled up to form a smile as many others who were watching him squeal.

Looking at the number of people who were watching Prince Fu Liang, Lin Xiao’s lips jerked. At least half of them were guys while the other half were girls. It seemed that Prince Fu Liang’s fame far exceed what he thought at first...

"I see." Lin Xiao moved to one side and watched calmly.

Prince Fu Liang was looking at Lin Xiao with bewilderment. Unlike usual Emperors where they would be wearing expensive clothes and follow procession that would signify their status, Lin Xiao looked so down to earth. He was dressed in normal robe that could be found anywhere and didn’t even make an attempt to make others respect him.

This new Emperor... was a bit strange.

Bang!

Prince Lin San walked to the arena. His eyes turned golden from the moment the referee said to start. While his cultivation did advance faster, he was still being very careful as he moved swiftly from one side to another.

Swish!

"Come and eat this!" The opponent threw a punch from a distance.

However, the move was coarse in Prince Lin San’s eyes. Since he no longer needed to hide his element, his body moved sideways and disappeared into the darkness.

Swish!

Appearing from behind, he thrusted his sword forward.

"Tsk, do you think that I’ll fall for the same trick?!"
