Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 213: Forest Trial (Chapter 2)

Chapter 213: Forest Trial (2)

“Everyone gather here!” a teacher looked at the group of students who had gathered in the entrance and nodded. “Before entering the forest trial, you have to form a group of three. Of course, you can collaborate with other groups but once you enter the forest, you’ll be sent to different places. You might not be able to meet with the group you want easily.”

“Random teleportation?” Lin Xiao murmured to himself as his eyes lit up.

“Your task is simply to survive in the forest. Whether you’re busy hunting or you’re trying to just simply let the days’ pass, you can do it all without the need to worry about anything else. The time limit is 30 days and during this period of time, you’ll need to face the beasts in the forest because we didn’t know what kind of beasts you might encounter.

The power of the beast ranged from rank 1 to rank 4. If you’re unlucky, you might encounter that powerful beast.”

The students suck out deep breath when they heard what the teacher was saying. They were all mostly still at Body Training Stage or Foundation Establishment. Yet, the teacher was asking them to fight against Beast rank 4 that had strength comparable to Golden Core Stage.

Didn’t they just imply seek death like this?

“You all will be given token. If you ever find yourself in danger, crush it and make sure that you’re not going to die so quickly. We all need time to get into your place to safe you.” the teacher swept his gaze across the disciples. “There’s only one thing you need to remember, put your safety first.”

“Yes!”

Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed when he listened to what the teacher was saying. It seemed that their journey wouldn’t be a smooth one in the forest trial because there were a lot of beast and so on that was waiting for them.

“We need to divide into three groups,” Lin Xiao said while looking at the others. “I’ll go with Princess Lan Yi Hua.”

The others were speechless at his words. It seemed that no matter what, he wanted to stay with her. Fine, they would just let him be then.

“I’ll go with you,” Sui Wenyan said. “You need someone who’s stronger to help protect you and I’m sure that I fit in the category.”

“Alright.”

“As for the other two groups….”

“Fan Ling will be going with Lin Yun and Xia Ye. Han Jiang, Lu Jian, and Wenren Yu will be in one group. How about this?”

After spending the past three months in bitter training, Han Jiang and Lu Jian both had already advanced to Body Training Rank 10. Xia Ye also had advanced, but he was still at Body Training Rank 9, a rank lower than the other two.

Fan Ling nodded. “Fair enough. I’ll cover for Xia Ye.”

“Good.”

“Let’s go.”

They all moved in a group of three and entered the forest in turn. There were several students who came inside before them, but when they entered the forest, they were completely alone. Looking around them, it looked like an unfamiliar forest and the scent of water entered Lin Xiao’s nose.

‘I’m more comfortable in this kind of environment.’

Having lived most of his life inside the forest, Lin Xiao felt that it was nice for him to be able to enter the forest again. Unfortunately, their task here was not only to look around and enjoy the scenery. They have to fight and battle because this forest was dangerous.

“We should try to regroup.”

Taking her communication jade, Sui Wenyan contacted the others. “They all don’t know where they are. However, Fan Ling is close to the river, so we might be able to meet her if we can find the river.”

Lin Xiao nodded. “Let’s go there then.”

“Ok.”

Swish!

Traveling in the forest, Lin Xiao kept his vigilance. He looked around in curiosity before his eyes spotted a beast not far from them. The aura around the beast told them that it was already at Rank 3.

Sui Wenyan frowned. “Do you want to…”

“Let’s have some exercise.”

“Yes?”

Swish!

With a thought, Lin Xiao had disappeared from his position and then reappeared near the beast. Princess Lan Yi Hua was stunned when she saw this. That kind of instant movement was categorized as an advance skill. It seemed that Lin Xiao was clearly showing mercy when he was fighting Prince Lin Kai back then.

Roar!

A sword appeared on Lin Xiao’s hand as he swung it towards the beast. After that one pitiful roar, the neck of the beast was slain and blood gushed out.

Seeing the scene, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. This felt much better than just holing in the library and learned so many things about theory. After being tortured for months, he felt really good.

Princess Lan Yi Hua and Sui Wenyan arrived by Lin Xiao’s side. Looking at the fallen beast, Princess Lan Yi Hua pursed her lips. “Why are you also hiding your power?”

“If I have already showed my full strength from the very beginning, my opponent will not only be just those two snot nosed brat but also the other two princes,” Lin Xiao replied calmly. “The other two princes are older and they’re close to Golden Core Stage. Do you think I will have the chance to defeat them if I fight against them right now?”

“No.”

Lin Xiao smiled when he saw the gaze on Princess Lan Yi Hua’s eyes. “Come on. I want to see your strength too.”

“Here?”

“The teachers are not watching too closely. Besides, why do you think there’s risk of dying?”

…

By the way, in case you forget. Beast Ranking and the estimated strength:

Unranked: Untrained people to Body Training Rank 3

Rank 1: Body Training Rank 6 to 7

Rank 2: Body Training Rank 8 to 10

Rank 3: Foundation Establishment

Rank 4: Golden Core Stage 1
