Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 221: Learning Skills

The others were dumfounded when they saw Lin Xiao’s action and then chose to turn away. They didn’t want to be fed with dog food. Besides, they were not totally sure that these two had already confirmed their relationship.

As they had expected, Princess Lan Yi Hua was stunned for a second then she glared at Lin Xiao. "Hands off."

"I’m only patting you!"

"Not allowed!"

"Aww." Lin Xiao still backed down obediently since he knew how to be patient. He grinned when he saw that Princess Lan Yi Hua didn’t immediately resort to hit his hand, though. It meant that she didn’t actually mind that much but she didn’t want to show it on her face.

Hmm, her hair was smooth and silky. He liked it.

After spending their time hunting and cooking for Lin Xiao to keep in his Spatial Ring, the one month’s time was up. They were instantly teleported back to Sun Dragon Academy through the plate that they have.

Basically, the plate was the only method for them to return back. If they lost it, they wouldn’t be able to return.

Swish!

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes upon his return. He could see that there were some teachers who were looking around the crowd, probably some of them were looking at him.

"Yun."

"Got it."

After nearly losing his martial arts, Lin Yun’s disposition was harder as he didn’t want to let anyone took advantage of him again. If he continued to stay still as a weak person, who knew what kind of end he would have in the end.

Using Moon Evasion, Lin Yun immediately appeared at the front and then ran towards the direction of the dorm. His action immediately attracted a lot of people’s attention and since Lin Yun was someone who was close to Lin Xiao, some teacher hurried over to his direction.

Tring!

Sui Wenyan had split up from Lin Xiao and started to play her zither. The sound immediately made the people around her created a space from her. Sound attack was scary because more often than not, it was targeting their consciousness directly. Her eyes were looking at the teacher in front of her coldly.

"What is it, Teacher?"

"Stop playing."

"I’m not hurting anyone, didn’t I?" Sui Wenyan asked back with a smile. It was true that she didn’t use it to attack, but the sound produced by her zither still contained trace of Qi that she infused.

The teacher started to argue with her, but Sui Wenyan was smiling and said what she wanted to say. She was trying to attract the teacher’s attention, but only two of them did come to her.

On the other hand, Wenren Yu spread some herbs that would cause the students to hallucinate and create trouble. He sighed at the thought that the medicine wouldn’t work that well for those with high cultivation. When there was time, he would need to find some other concoction that could work better.

Swish!

Lin Xiao used the chance while the others were creating trouble to slip away and headed to the Book Pavilion. He immediately went inside and looked at the teacher who was guarding. "I want to enter the Book Pavilion first floor."

"Name?"

"Lin Xiao."

"You have three hours inside. Here’s an incense stick to help you gauge the time. When the time is up, you have to come out."

"Thank you."

Taking the incense stick, Lin Xiao rushed inside. The first floor was empty since most seniors had already finished their chance and there were no other new students who came here. He knew that there was not much time for him, so he began to browse the books.

First, he searched for supplementary cultivation technique that was related to lake. Looking at the row of books, he finally found one that was suitable to him.

Nourishing Lake Technique.

’It’s a technique that allow one to recover their Qi faster. That’s a suitable one for you, Lin Xiao.’

’En. By the way, why do I feel that the technique that’s related to lake are all supporting technique that’s mostly used for recovery?’ Lin Xiao asked after he had memorized the content. They were not allowed to bring the book out and only memorized it in place, so Lin Xiao had no other choice but to read it here and remember everything.

Lin Hu had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Lin Xiao and opened his mouth before he sighed. ’That’s because Lake Emperor is famous for his support skill...’

’...Excuse me?’

Right now, Lin Hu didn’t feel like telling Lin Xiao, but he knew that he had to. ’The essence of Lake is stillness and life. Because of that, the skills related to the lake is mostly about recovery and peace.’

Lin Xiao felt a bit livid when he heard what Lin Hu was saying. He felt glad that he didn’t try to search so many skills that was related to lake back then. If he only learned recovery and supporting skill, how did he supposed to kill his enemies in the future?

Prolong the battle until the other party was exhausted?

The thought only made Lin Xiao felt headache.

’It didn’t mean that there’s no offensive skill. There are some but it’s mostly not too many. Also... some of the previous Lake Emperors are actually Lake Empress...’

Lin Xiao: "..." F*** you!

It was not without reason that mostly women were chosen. After all, there were not many men who wanted to be the support. However, Lin Xiao knew that since he had already gotten the Emperor’s Inheritance, he would be the one to receive this ability.

Even though he didn’t want it.

In the end, he tried to search for another skill related to lake and settled with another two that he memorized.

Chilling Lake Sword, a sword skill that emphasized on the stillness and also the ability to adapt to any situation.

Lake Mirror, and ability to duplicate oneself that was often used to escape.
