Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 101: Yi Feng City

Chapter 101: Yi Feng City

Lin Xiao and the others finally could see the wall. They had never gotten close to the city before because Elder Wang prohibited them to come any closer. But now that they could see it, it indeed looked really big.

“It’s really big. I wonder how much is the height.”

“Brother, don’t act like country bumpkin,” Lin Yun whispered, hoping that his brother wouldn’t make them lost face.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. They were already near and only a few people were around them. He shrugged. “Why should I be ashamed that I’m a country bumpkin? I’m from the village and should be proud because it means that I can survive even in severe living condition.”

Lin Yun was speechless.

Other people always tried to hide the fact that they were from village because those who lived in city would look down on them. But when it came to Lin Xiao, it was the opposite. Lin Xiao had no qualms letting anyone to know that he was actually someone from the countryside.

Instead, he looked like he wanted to announce it to the entire world that he had such an ordinary background.

Brother… can’t you do anything normally?

Wenren Yu also wished to bury his head when they were approaching the gate. The soldiers were looking at them and paid close attention to how they behaved. After all, they have to be careful.

“Excuse me, we want to enter the city,” Lin Yun took the initiative to strike conversation and handed out his identification letter. It was issued by the village when he was born 17 years ago.

The guards looked at the letter and nodded before returning it back to Lin Yun. They could see that it was real.

“Wow, is the gate also made of metal? It looks so good!”

Lin Yun’s face was red as he tried hard to erase his embarrassment. Several people were looking at Lin Xiao who was pointing at the gate with excited expression. Wenren Yu was trying hard to restrain the young man.

“Uhm, both of my brothers lost their identification letter… Is it possible to issue a new one?” Lin Yun asked in hesitation while trying hard not to look at the two of them. He wished that he could bury his head on the ground right now.

The guards looked at the youth, who had just yelled about the sharpness of the tip of the large gate. They passed a look of pity to Lin Yun who had such unrestrained brother.

“What’s your intention to enter the city?”

“Ah? We heard that there will be examination soon, so we want to familiarize ourselves with the city’s condition,” Lin Yun gave his excuse. It was nearing Winter and after New Year, there would be sect selection. Since the schedule was the same in the entire place, he knew that he could use this excuse.

The guards looked at each other and then passed plate. “Please infuse your Qi here. We’ll issue new token for you so that you can use it to participate in the selection.”

“Thank you!”

There were too many people who lost their identification letter when they came from remote areas. The guards usually faced more than 50 requests each day, so they had long gotten used to it. It was precisely because of this reason that Wang Jun was not worried that they would be exposed.

The only time when the guards were very strict was only when Taiyi Sect had fallen. At that time, everywhere those without proper paper would be investigated. Thanks to that, hundreds of people who previously managed to escape perished.

After a year, the guards were no longer as strict as before.

Even though Wenren Yu was actually someone from Taiyi Sect, no one would suspect him anymore.

Lin Yun looked at the plate before him and infused his Qi. He was thinking of restraining his Qi based on the way Elder Wang taught him because Wang Jun had warned them that their rank might look a bit too high. Since they were still in Body Training Stage, if they didn’t use their full power, the stone wouldn’t be able to read properly and might give them lower result.

The stone lit up and the row was filled quickly. However, it stopped at the eight line.

The guards were stunned. “Body Training Rank 8. You might have a chance to enter the top Sects this time around.”

The sects that came to visit the village back then was only small sects. Powerful sects would have higher restriction because they only wanted the best of the best. Except for those who had god background, the people who managed to enter the sect were normally those who had powerful talent and the sect wanted to groom.

“Thank you,” Lin Yun replied.

The stone also revealed his age, which was 17. Most people who wanted to enter the sect would be tested in age because they needed to be below 20 years old. The older they were, the higher their rank would be, but those who came from village would try to enter as soon as they reached Body Training Rank 6 because it was the lowest requirement.

Besides, if they didn’t enter the sect, they wouldn’t be able to learn proper skills that many others could learn.

“Wow, it smells so good. What type of food do you think that is?” Lin Xiao asked while pointing to the stalls near the gate.

“We’ll look at it later, Brother.” Lin Yun pointed at the rock. “Please insert your Qi, Brother.”

“Okay.”

Lin Xiao stepped forward and infused his Qi. Different with Lin Yun, Lin Xiao was better at controlling his Qi because he had been fighting different type of beasts every single day and trained harder. Lin Yun had lower physical condition, so his focus was to increase his stamina and strength along with Wenren Yu, who used to only focus on herbs.

Wang Jun wished for them to protect Lin Xiao, but looking at the way it was, Lin Xiao was better than them.

This statement had forced these two to fully immerse themselves in training for the past half a year.

The light lit up and stopped right at the edge of the six marking.

“Body Training Rank 6.”
