Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 220: Staying in the Forest

Chapter 220: Staying in the Forest

Lin Xiao creased his eyebrows at Lin Hu's words. 'What are you talking about?'

'Since the teacher can't expel you because you're only acting out of rage, they would have to punish you. The punishment method that I can think of would be you being locked for some time. During that time, wouldn't it be best if you can use it to learn more martial arts?'

Thinking about it, it might be the best option available. However…

'Why martial arts related to lake?'

'Because your ability is more related to lake, Idiot! Don't you think that the name Lake Emperor will only be for show. That name is given because the best power that you can wield will be something related to water, especially lake.'

Lin Xiao was stunned. Mountain Sword that he learned had three stances so far. The fourth stance was too difficult to do while he was still at Body Training Stage. But if he were to search for another skill related to lake…

Sword might be a good choice. After learning Mountain Sword, he had come to realize that a sword was sharp and could be used to slash through many kinds of materials. That was also very suitable for him because he wanted to be a sharp person who didn't afraid of offending others.

'However, you need to exercise restraint.'

Lin Xiao knew that his method of handling Prince Lin Kai was not the best. However, he was thoroughly consumed by rage and anger that he couldn't think properly. All he could think was that he was not allowed to kill Prince Lin Kai and that was all.

'I know...'

Closing his eyes, Lin Xiao focused on recovering. At the same time, he began to think about many other things. He was already 17 years old, basically an adult. He shouldn't do things out of impulse anymore and tried to think over the consequences before doing anything first.

After some time, Wenren Yu and the others came. They were also enraged, but Wenren Yu knew what was important was for him to check on Lin Yun and Xia Ye. Fortunately, the two of them were not gravely wounded.

"They should be able to recover quickly with enough rest," Wenren Yu said after checking on them. He thought for a while. "Oh right, I see the other prince's group on the way. He's also eliminating weaker students."

"Killing them?" Lin Xiao asked with arched eyebrows.

"No, only crippling them or sending them out." When thinking about it, Han Jiang felt annoyed and angry. However, he knew that he shouldn't be a busybody and tried to help everyone he met. They were not worthy of his time and he had no intention of putting himself in danger.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. It seemed that there were several people who had offended the two princes aside from him during this period of time. Now, the two princes must have some kind of method to regroup faster and then started to eliminate the others.

"In that case, we should hurry and start to hunt. We're only going to stay in this forest for a month at most. Let's make use of it."

"Ok."

"For the time being, Yun and Xia Ye will stay here and we'll take turn to keep watch while some of us will hunt at nearby place. If you got into trouble, shout immediately to let the others know."

"Got it."

Now that they had already in the group, they knew that they had to make use of their number well. For the time being, the disparity of their strength was not that much, so the power of number was quite apparent.

But of course, things might be different later when they grew up.

Xia Ye woke up at night time and looked distraught. He could tell everyone was making sure that he was fine and it made him feel worse. They didn't blame him, not at all, but being the weaker one made him extremely annoyed.

He wanted to get stronger.

"Yun."

"Yes?"

"Can you make the first one for the medicine bath to increase physical strength?" Xia Ye asked bluntly.

Lin Yun was stunned. He nodded his head. "Yes, I can make it. However, it'll require expensive herbs and the process will be painful."

"Write down all the herbs that you need and I'll gather it all. When we return back, I'll trouble you to make it for me." Xia Ye's eyes gleamed in ruthlessness. He wanted to get stronger faster so that he would not drag the others down. In case they were ambushed again, he didn't want to be the one being protected.

Not again.

"Alright."

Lin Yun gave the list of herbs to Xia Ye, who memorized it by his heart. He was still weak right now, but he wanted to be able to grow even stronger so that he would not lose against anyone.

Time pa.s.sed swiftly. They all did what they had agreed before and used the chance to hunt and used their real power. Lu Jian and Xia Ye both used swords too and they were quite proficient in it. However, if they were to compare with Lin Xiao, it was clear that Lin Xiao could exhibit more power when using sword.

After all, the essence of Lin Xiao's sword was mountain. It was a skill that was developed by staying near mountains.

"When we return back, I want to head to Book Pavilion directly. We can choose not to report our result, right? Help me cover the way so that I can head there," Lin Xiao gave the instruction.

Lin Yun nodded. "Alright."

"Be careful of the teachers too." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao. Her eyes were showing concern. "Some of the teachers might have already picked a side and will not tolerate you foiling their plan. They wouldn't show mercy just because you're a student and might use the loophole there."

"I know. Don't worry." Lin Xiao smiled and patted Princess Lan Yi Hua's head tenderly.
