Chapter 471: Ranking

Chapter 471: Ranking

While Lin Xiao was busy training, the movement of the Dragon Power didn't go unnoticed.
A youth around the age of 18 years old was standing near the window. Ever since the family guards found him, he was forced to return back and not stay to linger around there. At the same time, the people around him were increased in number.
Thanks to that, he couldn't get out.
But because of his attainment in Ancient words, his family had been looking upon him favorably. Only Long Hao was feeling indignant because he knew for sure that without his teacher who taught him a bit back then, he would know nothing.
At the same time, his Dragon Power was increasing.
At this time, he sensed the rapid movement of the Dragon Power and his eyebrows creased. Such movement was unusual. It was as if the entire continent was feeling excited and heading towards one direction.
"Young Master Hao."
Long Hao waved his hand and walked out. He saw Elder Yu was standing not far from the door. Elder Yu glanced at Long Hao and rolled his eyes. "Hao, you're not allowed to go out. It's going to be the family competition soon."
"I just want to take some breath of fresh air." Long Hao snorted. He might not focus much on cultivation but right now, he was already a Nascent Soul Stage 1 Cultivators. The Long Family had no trouble cultivating bunch of Golden Core stage 9 Cultivators but to advance to Nascent Soul Stage was a bit more difficult.
Only those who were really good would be able to advance.
And naturally, Long Hao was included in that number.
"Anything wrong?"
"Is it time for the 20 Years Ancient Battlefield?" Long Hao asked. He felt that such fluctuation could only come from his Master but since his master came from a remote kingdom… the only way Lin Xiao could come near Wang Wu Kingdom was only if he participated in 20 Years Ancient Battlefield.
Thus, Long Hao asked.
"Yes." Elder Yu was surprised that Long Hao paid attention to this. "There will be some geniuses from some remote kingdoms. Some sects would want to recruit them. Do you want to come and see them?"
"Sure."
When the ranking was finalized, Long Hao knew that the geniuses had two options: one was to return back to their kingdom and gained resources equivalent to their ranking. Two was for them to be nurtured by the sects and their kingdom would obtain a percentage of resources that represent the sect's importance to them.
Many geniuses would have no qualm to leave their previous kingdom as they wanted to grow stronger but there were also many of them who chose to return back. After all, everyone has their own secret and special encounters.
It couldn't be forced.
"I'll ask for permission." Elder Yu looked at Long Hao once more and upon seeing that the young man was serious, he sent a voice transmission to ask for permission to bring Long Hao to the competition.
…
Long Hao was not the only one who sensed the change.
In Wang Wu Kingdom, an elderly was staring into the distance. His eyes were deep and he looked like he was sleeping but the other people in the same hall as him didn't dare to even move their eyelids in fear that they would disturb the man.
The man had the highest position among them all and naturally the highest cultivation too.
Because of that, no one dared to disturb him.
At this time, the elderly man's brow creased. He was already very powerful and naturally it also meant that his cultivation was so high. There were many elders who were controlling the treasure where the ancient battleground was located.
He was one of them.
But this was the first time he encountered a genius who still could affect the real world even though he was currently within the Ancient Battlefield.
'Interesting.'
…
Lin Xiao was clueless about all of that.
His attention was solely focused on the images before him as his body was walking on the staircase without stopping. He knew that the first stage was testing. But how could these things possibly sway him?
Money?
He had enough
Cultivation resources?
Just give him a lake and he would not be greedy for others.
Killing?
Why should he kill when his own life was not threatened? He was not a maniac who would kill for fun.
Women?
He only needed Princess Lan Yi Hua and no others.
Thus, Lin Xiao's steps continued to reach higher and higher. But when the images started to show his friends, he began to waver. He knew very well that when facing his friends, family members, and Princess Lan Yi Hua, he would not be able to stay forever calm.
Not to mention, they were currently attacking.
Lin Xiao frowned but he didn't find it difficult to attack his friends, especially those who were not too close to him. If they dared to harm him, he would naturally retaliate against them.
Not to mention…
This is not real.
There was no restriction for him to kill them all one by one.
Before long, Lin Xiao noticed that the person who was standing before him had changed to Princess Lan Yi Hua. She was smiling at him but her two hands were wielding her twin swords.
It was clear, she was challenging him to a match.
Lin Xiao faintly smiled and took out his Tianze Swords before he moved forward.
Bang!
The two people sparred against each other. In the real life, Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua had already sparred against each other for so many times. It was to the point that they were already familiar with each other's move and knew the other party even with the slightest intention.
Clang! Clang! Swish!
It was a draw. The two of them moved a distance away. Princess Lan Yi Hua image had stopped and kept the twin blades away.
