Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 366: A Strange Senior

Chapter 366: A Strange Senior

"You… you really could?" Lan Qing Xi nearly couldn't believe his ears as he looked at Lin Xiao with bewilderment.

Lin Xiao looked at the strange senior and nodded. "You just need to follow the set of movements to understand what kind of move it is about. If you have water element, you should be able to understand it as well, Senior."

"Water element?"

Seeing the surprise on Lan Qing Xi's face, Lin Xiao was sure that the senior didn't even think of connecting the sword's move with the water element. He already knew the name and yet he didn't try to connect the dot?

Lin Xiao felt it was strange.

Lan Qing Xi looked at Lin Xiao and smiled sheepishly. "Ah, pardon me. I did think that way when I heard the sword's name but I still can't find any clue. When you master the skill, could you please allow me to see it?"

"See?"

"Yes. I wish to see the skill being performed."

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows then turned to look at Fan Ling and Lin Yun. He was not sure what kind of response he should give right now. Some skills were always kept in secret because it could be their trump card but some other skills could be seen by others because it would be weirder if it was not seen.

This Sword River Bearing was a secret sword skill.

Fan Ling stepped forward. "Sorry, but your request is too strange. How would we know that you will not use this chance to spread it to your friends?"

"Ah, I'm really…" Lan Qing Xi looked at Lin Xiao once more before he sighed. "Alright, I'll not ask for that… Uhm, how about if we talk more in the future or something? I might be able to provide some useful information and…"

"There's still a year before we can interact with seniors." Lin Xiao looked at Lan Qing Xi and smiled apologetically. "I have to refuse your kind intention."

They were new students.

It was the only thought that crossed Lan Qing Xi's mind as he looked at the three youths before him. Because of the rules here, it was harder for senior to meet with the new students before three years was up. The rule was set up so that the senior would not bully the new students before they had a chance to grow a bit more in the academy.

After three years, the academy turned blind eyes to whatever they wanted to do.

"Alright, I'll not bother you…" Lan Qing Xi actually still wanted to know more about that Sword River Bearing move but he knew that it would mostly depend on his luck to be able to understand what it was about.

"In that case, we'll be leaving first."

There was still some time left but they could divide the time and used it for next time. Lin Xiao naturally didn't want them to use up their chance completely in one go since the stone pillar would be beneficial for Lin Yun.

The three of them walked out of the book pavilion and reported the time they spent inside. Looking at the few hours left, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

"Do you plan to come here again?"

"If I want to learn new skill, it'll be good rather than having to challenge that tower again." Lin Xiao shrugged.

Lin Yun nodded, agreeing with that. "Oh right, why didn't you try to talk more with that Lang… Eh, Lan Qing Xi?"

"I don't know him that well, do I?" Lin Xiao asked back and shrugged. "Besides, even if he's interested in the skill, why do I have to teach him when I know nothing about him. If he's one of the other princes' follower, I'll only court trouble for myself."

The other two: "…" right.

They walked out and saw Princess Lan Yi Hua was still sitting there gracefully. She had her head lowered and her bangs covered part of her face. Added with her long hair that was slightly moving to the front, it blocked most people's sight.

That way, not many people knew that Princess Lan Yi Hua was actually very beautiful.

"Xiao Hua!" Lin Xiao waved his hand and called out.

Princess Lan Yi Hua raised her head and smiled. "Are you done?"

"Yes. I already memorized your skills. Let's go back and I'll write it down for you. Oh right, where's Lu Jian, I want him to do some investigation."

Lin Yun let out a laugh. He could guess that Lin Xiao wanted to investigate that Lan Qing Xi man. "I'll ask him on your behalf. You can return first and got our rooms, Bro."

"Got it."

They all only moved to the fifth floor except for those who hadn't returned back yet. And the disciples there all were scared so they gave up their rooms immediately when Lin Xiao said that he wanted it.

With his power, no one was daring enough to challenge him even if they have nine lives like a cat.

It was the same as others.

So, the news continued to float around while the main character was locking themselves away in their dorm room. Princess Lan Yi Hua benefited from having Lin Xiao copied her skill sets and trained in the skills inside her room.

Lin Xiao himself also itching to train on the new skills he had learned not long ago.

'You can try to advance to Golden Core Stage first.' Lin Hu reminded Lin Xiao from within the latter's consciousness.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. "Now?"

"Hmm, in a few days your Qi acc.u.mulation will be enough at this rate. This place is really a good place for you to train."

The fifth floor was richer in Qi compared to that of the third floor. Even though Lin Xiao didn't stay here for a long period of time, the benefit was already clear to the eyes. Too bad that he couldn't create a lake out of nowhere to help him practice.

"I'll train in Chilling Lake Sword first then."

"Don't destroy your bed."

"…I'm not that idiot!"
