Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 323: Meeting Again

Chapter 323: Meeting Again

"Lin Hu! You damn dragon! Didn’t you say that I won’t be affecting others to meet me again when I’m outside of Sun Kingdom? How come that I’m meeting with those from other kingdoms again here?"

Lin Xiao really really wanted to cry.

Long Hao was the youngest of the bunch in this room. The others were all mostly older than him but they were all still between 17 years old to 20 years old with majority of them were already Golden Core Stage 1 or even Golden Core Stage 2.

Looking at himself, Lin Xiao really wished to return back and train again.

He was already 18 years old and yet he was still at Foundation Establishment Stage, which naturally made him looked far weaker than the others. This was what made him really wished that he could just leave right away.

"Wait, it’s not because of you!" Lin Hu was startled and quickly corrected Lin Xiao’s misconception.

"Then..."

"It’s because they’re attracted to the Secret Region! This is indeed the stage where the Secret Region is connected to many other places! It’s only a coincidence that both of you enter the Secret Region at the same time!" Lin Hu wanted to cry too. He didn’t expect this, alright?

But looking at everyone in the room, even the strongest was only at Golden Core Stage 2. It seemed as if those at higher stage was not allowed to come inside.

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. Normally, it would be fine but he was facing with Golden Core Stage 2, alright?

He was fine with fighting against Golden Core Stage 1 as he still could defend himself even if he failed to defeat the others. He knew that he could defeat Golden Core stage 1 but it was only if they were all ordinary.

If they were also geniuses?

Lin Xiao would rather hope that he could get away safely first. After all, his priority lies in keeping his life save and if there was a chance in the future, he would try to defeat them with his own hand.

But naturally, he would not force himself to do what he couldn’t do.

"You’re saying that there’ll be competition?"

"Yes!"

If there was a competition, how in the world should he even defeat those at Golden Core Stage 2? Fighting against those two stages above him didn’t sound to be realistic and there were not many geniuses who were capable of such feat.

He had heard some.

But Lin Xiao didn’t think of himself as one of them. As of now, his best ability was only support, which was the fact that he could heal himself. With time, he could easily recover to the best of his ability and fight again.

But what could he do if his opponent was overpowering him in every aspect?

The only answer would be to run away as far and as fast as possible.

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao. "I also noticed them here. It seems that this Secret Region is also connected to many other places."

"Do you know their origins?"

"Yes. Jade Snow Kingdom, the kingdom located north of Sun Kingdom, Bing Yue Kingdom, the kingdom next to it. We all four are located neighboring to each other and there are some conflicts amongst us regarding the territory. After that, there are mountain ranges that covered us from other areas, which prevent us from contacting other kingdoms except if we’re stronger than Golden Core Stage 3.

Naturally, it was impossible for us to make breakthrough, which was why there was no contact. The only method was if someone were to enter here from outside and recruited us or if we can get out through the Secret Region."

Get out through the Secret Region.

It was one of the reasons why a lot of families were fighting so hard so that they could enter the Secret Region. After all, it might be their chance to send their geniuses outside and possibly get stronger.

Princess Lan Yi Hua narrowed her eyes and looked at those who were considerably younger and yet more powerful. "I can’t say for sure where they come from, but I know that they’re outside the four kingdoms."

Lin Xiao nodded. "How many kingdoms in total in your opinion?"

"Three others."

"Four."

"Hmm?"

"Long Hao is not amongst those three. I guess he come here through a series of coincidence." Lin Xiao pointed at Long Hao.

Princess Lan Yi Hua’s eyes flashed before she nodded. She had been thinking about this too but she could not guess whether Long Hao was with the others or not. It seemed that Lin Xiao managed to guess it.

"Then I guess there are a total of 8 kingdoms here."

"Yes."

As the two talked, Long Hao also noticed them. He was astonished because he didn’t think that he would be meeting them once more. Glancing at the light for a moment, Long Hao then began to skip on the ground and reached Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua’s side.

He smiled. "Greetings."

"Greetings." The two of them were startled but they managed to react in time.

Lin Xiao lowered his gaze and noticed that Long Hao’s aura had grown even stronger than before. It seemed that he managed to advance faster just in the past few months they were not meeting each other.

...How did he train, really?

Seeing the doubt in Lin Xiao’s eyes, Long Hao grinned. He then extended his hand as words in ancient language flowed out before it formed an array around them. "Don’t worry, it’s just sound encapsulation array. It can help to block our sounds from reaching others people outside."

Looking at the array, Lin Xiao then recalled Lin Hu’s reminder.

"Why did he could use ancient word but I can’t?"

"That’s naturally because his ancient power is stronger and that he had already learned how to use it since young. You have only come into contact not long ago, so stop hurrying yourself so much."

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched and he felt that he really need to beat up a certain dragon.
