Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 241: Reunion

Lin Hu also marveled. ’To be able to analyze the situation and replicate your attack, your second brother is not bad, Lin Xiao.’

’Why are you praising him so high? Without me getting attacked first, he’ll not be able to do that.’

’Tsk, you’re just jealous of your brother.’

Roar!

The bear scratched the area where it was frozen and chunk it away. A lump of meat and blood was swiftly discarded and yet, the bear still looked so energetic despite the small crate that was formed near its neck.

"So tough," Princess Lan Yi Hua muttered. Her two hands were forming the same skill as before as light began to shut out of the edge of her daggers. This time, she obviously aimed towards the open crate on the bear.

At the same time, Prince Lin San also moved to the side and pierced a spot in the air. The bear was trying to form Qi Shield again, but it had failed because Prince Lin San was faster than its movement.

"Lin Xiao, are you alright?" Fan Ling asked as she formed the wind to maintain the fire. She could see the bear’s movement was restricted due to the fire, but she didn’t know how long this would last.

Lin Xiao quickly replied, "Yes!"

Rushing back into the group, they could see that Lin Xiao was still full of vitality. Aside from the fact that his clothes were crumpled and there was trail of blood on the corner of his lips, he looked mostly fine.

Seeing his state, they released a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, nothing happened to him.

But really, this brat was truly reckless. That was what the others thought when they recalled how Lin Xiao bravely tried to challenge the beast head on. No matter what, Beast Rank 5 was equivalent to Golden Core Stage Rank 2.

It was much stronger than Beast Rank 4 that they had already managed to defeat from time to time if they collaborated with each other. Well, it also usually depended on the races, though.

"Shall we continue?" Prince Lin Xian asked in grave tone. He had already used more than half of his Qi reserve and he could see that the bear barely used 20 percent of its overall strength.

The others were also not in good condition. While Both Princess Lan Yi Hua and Fan Ling were not wounded hard, the pressure was already giving them a hard time. Not to mention, both Prince Lin Xian and Lin Xiao was struck down twice and might not be able to recover so quickly.

"We’ll retreat. Fan Ling, use your wind to keep it busy, Yi Hua, use your twin skill."

"Ok."

The two girls immediately unleased their skill while they all made their retreat from the beasts. The other men, who were busy keeping the other bears busy were also retreating one by one.

Swish!

Roar!

The bear was angry when he saw the puny humans tried to run away. He was a proud beast rank 5 and to think that these puny humans wanted to escape after making a mess of his residence.

Unforgivable!

Roar!

As soundwave attack hit them, they all staggered. The weaker one nearly collapsed on the spot while those stronger had some resistance. Many of their faces’ turned pale as they looked at the beast.

So it seemed that beast rank 5 was still above their league.

Far above their league.

They should just be satisfied with hunting beast rank 3 and occasional beast rank 4 if they still treasured their lives.

Bang!

Just as the bear was about to give them a chase, it stopped abruptly and then moved back while roaring at the sky. From the way it behaved, it looked as if it was afraid of something that they couldn’t see.

In the next second, a sword Qi went straight towards the bear and pierced through its heart as if it was nothing more than a mirage. The bear didn’t even get the chance to roar as it fell on the ground with a large thud.

Silence.

The other bears roared before they began to make their escape. If their leader at rank 5 couldn’t even withstand the attack, what could them, beast rank 3 and occasional rank 4, do? They instinctively ran away from the spot, not wanting to stay there any longer.

Lin Xiao watched everything with a dumbfounded expression. He turned to look at the sky as a figure descended near them.

The man didn’t look that old, similar to those at their mid twenties. He had regal aura and also wearing expensive robe that seemed to be able to be only reserved for royalty. Not to mention, Lin Xiao could faintly feel familiar aura from the man.

"First Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Hearing the two other princes called him as such, Lin Xiao was dumbstruck and looked at the man once more. This person... his big brother?

Recalling how the man managed to defeat the bear, whom they fought for so long without any result, with such ease, Lin Xiao felt that the gap between him and his older brother was so big.

’He’s already at Golden Core Stage 2. If he still can’t defeat that bear, it’ll be a disgrace,’ Lin Hu informed. He was at Golden Core Stage 1, one rank higher than Lin Xiao, so he could estimate Prince Lin Yan’s strength easily.

’But it didn’t mean that he could slaughter them.’

’Well, only geniuses can be accepted in Sun Dragon Academy.’

Lin Xiao: "..." He had no way to retort that because it was simply the truth and the low number of graduate also proved that it was not easy to survive as genius.

...
