Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 372: Dream

Even if Lu Jian make his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment right from the time he entered the academy, it still didn’t make sense for him to be about to make his breakthrough to Golden Core Stage 1 so quickly. It was also very unlikely for Lu Jian to make his breakthrough right away as those who stayed with him knew that he was nowhere close to breakthrough when he entered Sun Dragon Academy.

Didn’t most people only capable to make their breakthrough after 4 to 5 years in Foundation Establishment Stage?

It was too fast!

Elder Lu narrowed his eyes. "Did he eat some kind of treasure or anything? I had already told him that he should refrain from using medicine."

"It’s not medicine." Old Master Lu naturally sensed that Lu Jian’s power was stable and powerful. It was nearing Golden Core Stage and didn’t seem to be power that was obtained by using cheap means. Rather, it was the accumulation of strength overtime.

The only question was: how did he get stronger so fast when he had only been away from Lu family for a bit more than 2 years?

"Stable type of medicine? Treasure herbs?" Elder Lu also knew that there were some precious herbs that could be consumed that could help cultivator to advance quickly.

"I don’t know. But I can guess that Lu Jian greatly respect Prince Lin Xiao." Old Master Lu leaned on the back of his chair. "If this is that brat’s decision, I’ll support him. Lu Family will never abandon any of its family members."

Elder Lu’s face turned solemn and he patted his chest. "I understand, Father."

There were many geniuses at Sun Dragon Academy but to be able to help other advance quickly... Lin Xiao might be the only one. After all, a cultivator was also selfish and naturally would use the good things for themselves too before giving to others.

If Lu Jian had already made his decision, the two of them would not pry into the boy’s decision.

They would only silently support that youngster.

...

Lu Jian finally entered the backyard and pointed forward. "This is the training field. Everyone from the younger generation trains here. Lu Family is not that big but there are a lot of children here."

Lin Xiao walked inside and see 10 odd something children there. He nodded his head. "Do you also train here in the past?"

"Naturally." Lu Jian let out a faint laugh. "Everyone have to train here until they reach Foundation Establishment. My parents originally didn’t want me to try entering Sun Dragon Academy without reaching Foundation Establishment but I sneaked out and still participate in the assessment."

Lin Xiao: "..." Why did you look so proud?

"In any case, I’m glad that I have passed the examination. Tsk, my old man said that it’s impossible for me to pass the examination before reaching the Foundation Establishment but I had showed to him that I can pass when I’m still in Body Training Stage." Lu Jian puffed his chest.

"There’s no saying that you can only pass when you’re at Foundation Establishment."

"Tsk, you don’t know because you’re also improving at rapid speed but if I didn’t experience your... brother hellish training." Lu Jian’s body shuddered when he recalled the painful days of being forced to be nothing more than an item and challenged those cultivators. "I might not be able to improve this much now."

"You’re just lucky that things turn out well for you."

"Tsk, are you implying that I’ll die if it didn’t turn out well?" Lu Jian rolled his eyes. Though, he also understood that if there was something wrong during their training, it would spell their death.

Prince Lin Yan was seriously leaving them to die in the arena if they were not strong enough.

"Both your father and grandfather are worried about you." Lin Xiao looked at the group of youngsters in front of him. His eyebrows furrowed a bit when he watched the way they trained themselves.

"Hmm?"

"Will you continue to follow me even knowing that point?"

"They can’t decide for my life." Lu Jian took a deep breath. He grinned. "Besides, I might be able to become a powerful minister if I stay by your side. Rather than staying at low position for my entire life, isn’t it better for me to aim high?"

Lin Xiao smiled back. "In that case, you need to work harder to reach Golden Core Stage 1. The others are going to keep moving forward."

"Ugh..." Lu Jian messed his own hair. He naturally knew that his own talent was not strong enough, which was why he could never be able to contend against other geniuses. But during the short a year and half he spent in that mountain, he started to see hope.

Even if his talent was lower, he could overcome it by having more resources.

Many people who had better living condition was simply advancing faster because they were all having better resources. Their talent was not as good as others but they could advance faster.

"Are you going to form the lake here too?"

"Here?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. "You’re thinking of making a lake in Lu Family residence?"

"Well, I can make it the base of our factions..." Lu Jian’s voice trailed off. It was clear that he was trying to take advantage of this situation too. After all, Lin Xiao couldn’t possibly make a lake inside the academy where his room was equally small.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "I’m thinking of buying a house."

"You want to buy a house even though you only have one day’s off?"

"I’ll pick it with Xiao Hua after she had finished stabilizing her cultivation."

Lu Jian was speechless. Did Lin Xiao just feed him with a dog food out of the blue? Damn it! they were discussing something serious, alright?

But then he realized something else.

"You’re not planning on having the base of your factions to be in your home, right?" Lu Jian’s face was incredulous.
