《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 202: Examination Grounds (1)
Advertisement
Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled lightly when she heard what Lin Xiao said. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Princess Lan Xiao Yue looked awkward as she didn't get the chance to speak at all due to Lin Xiao's interruption.
Somehow, she felt satisfied looking at that.
On the other hand, Princess Lan Xiao Yue was feeling bad because she was thoroughly ignored. When Prince Lin Hong stepped forward to help her, she thought that she would be able to goad Princess Lan Yi Hua to try the test first. Unfortunately, her plan backfired because Lin Xiao also stepped in and made them all angry.
Well, Lin Xiao's talent was truly to make other people angry with his nonsense, so it was not that strange.
She looked at her older sister and sneered while hiding her face. Since she had always acted as a kind woman who's very concerned of others, she could not allow herself to show her real side in front of others.
Swish!
The examination ground was inside the building and as the name said, there were 15 floors. If they wanted to graduate, they have to pass at least 10 levels. Of course, they were allowed to stay as long as they were under 30 years old but not everyone wanted to waste their time in the academy if they were already allowed to leave.
Thanks to that, majority of the students only passed the 10th level then left.
Teacher Su Luo walked towards the commotion and snorted. "What are you all waiting for? There are a total of 10 rooms per floor, so 10 people can have the test at the same time. Get in!"
"Y…yes!"
Some unfortunate students, who were staying near the door, were kicked in by Teacher Su Luo. Lin Xiao's group all moved to the side and looked at Teacher Su Luo coldly. They were no longer taught by Teacher Su Luo, so naturally they wouldn't want to follow what she was saying.

They just wanted to wait for more.
Teacher Su Luo also noticed them and sneered. However, she was too lazy to bother with the group. In her eyes, as long as these people get out of her sight, that would be for the best because they were only a group of trashes.
"What level do you think Prince Lin Kai can reach?" Lin Xiao asked. He looked at the board outside. There were 10 rows and each row could contain up to 100 students. It was for the ranking's list.
As far as they knew, the levels were as such: 1-3 for Body Training, 4-6 for Foundation Establishment, 7-9 for Golden Core Stage Rank 1, 10-15 for Golden Core Stage Rank 2. So they could actually estimate where they would end up.
"Probably 4? Prince Lin Kai is already Foundation Establishment," Sui Wenyan replied.
Lin Xiao nodded his head. If he was not wrong, they have to pass this training ground each year so that they could stay for another year. Of course, they all have to pass the first stage after three months or they would not be allowed to come back.
"By the way, is there any other reward for the ranking aside from Spirit Stones?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"Reward?" Lu Jian tilted his head. He shook his head. "This is just the ranking for our year group, so it's not that important. The one that's more important is the ranking that's competing with the seniors too since they're all already much more powerful."
"Ah?"
"You can only attempt it after you've stayed in the academy for three years."
Hearing that, Lin Xiao's expression turned strange. He wanted to test his power against those who were stronger than him too.
'Idiot. Do you really think that the seniors are that weak? It's good enough that you're given three years of preparation before facing them. Don't you know that most of them are already at Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core Stage. With your current rank, you'll be nothing more than a stepping stone for them….!'

Lin Hu began to rebuke Lin Xiao harshly. His words made Lin Xiao felt ashamed, but he knew that he would need to wait. Well, there was no need for him to be in so much hurry because he would be able to challenge them later.
"Hey, someone get out."
"Hmm?"
One of the unfortunate student came out of the tower with red face. It was clear that he was extremely embarrassed. As the name list suddenly change, they realized that the new student only passed the first stage.
"He's only at Body Training Rank 8, so it might be hard for him to pass more than the first stage…" Lin Xiao was about to say more when he remembered that Xia Ye was also at Body Training Rank 8. He turned his head around. They hadn't seen each other's fighting skill since all this time, their training only consisted of physical training and also heading to the library.
Xia Ye noticed Lin Xiao's look and furrowed his brows. "I'll pass."
The others looked at him.
"Shall I enter first?"
"Sure."
Since one of them had already walked out, Xia Ye stepped into the building. The others were waiting outside patiently. After all, this would tell them whether they would be allowed to stay in the academy or not.
The three months were like probation period where they would not be allowed to learn much and only the very basic.
But after this, it was clear that they would have a lot of other classes.
Swish!
Several more students walked out and their name was written. Some of them only passed the first stage while some others passed the second stage. Very quickly, the ranking already listed their names.
Xia Ye walked after a few minutes and his name was clearly written as one who had passed. Based on the way he looked like, he didn't seem tired at all as if he was only walking on the park.
