"Prince Lin Kai didn't seem much anymore."
"Yes. He's thrown to the back twice. It seems that Prince Lin Kai is the weakest amongst the four princes."
"True."
Prince Lin Kai, who was struggling to stand up and planned to challenge Lin Xiao again, was enraged upon hearing the talk of the people around him. He glared at them and then spat out blood before passing out.
Lin Xiao watched Lin Xiao, who passed out, with strange expression. "That's weird, I shouldn't have the capability to make Foundation Establishment Cultivators faint with just one attack."
The others looked at Lin Xiao and shook his head, feeling slight disbelief. Didn't he realize that the prince fainted out of anger rather than his power. However, they have to admit that Lin Xiao was quite powerful.
Wait, if he was that powerful, just how powerful was the senior who guarded the fourth Examination Ground if he couldn't pass?
Thanks to Lin Xiao, the others started to worry about their next examination in the future.
"Anyway, I'm done with the arena." Lin Xiao glanced at the board and nodded in satisfaction when he saw his name at the 99th place. It was much better than when he was at 500 something number.
While he didn't need Spirit Stones right now, he would definitely need a lot in the future. Saving some from now would not be a bad decision.
"Then next, I want to…"
"Sister, I want to fight you!"
Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows as she glanced to the back. Looking at her sister, who was at the second place of the ranking, she knew that her sister was only trying to create trouble for her.
"I don't want to challenge you."
"Are you afraid, Older Sister?" Princess Lan Xiao Yue asked while blinking her eyes. Her action made her looked like she was deeply concerned by her older sister's performance. After all, it was clear that she didn't want to let her sister off so easily.
Princes Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to say something more, Lin Xiao stepped forward and stood in front of Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Since she didn't want to fight, I don't think it's right for you to coerce her. Besides, are you not ashamed as Foundation Establishment Cultivator to challenge Body Training Rank 10?"
"I'm just worried about my sister." Princess Lan Xiao Yue pursed her lips.
"Worried?" Lin Xiao scoffed. "If you truly care for your sister, you wouldn't try to challenge your sister but instead help her to train. Are you worried that your sister didn't receive enough mocking already?"
Princess Lan Xiao Yue felt that Lin Xiao's words were too sharp. Thankfully, she had always acted like a good girl and would not show her weakness so easily. She looked at Lin Xiao with tearful gazes. "What are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense."
"In that case, you don't need to spout nonsense too. Your sister didn't want to fight you because she didn't want to make you lose face. Besides, the two of you are both already having the second place. Why should you bother her?" Lin Xiao added shamelessly.
Hearing his words, Princess Lan Xiao Yue was speechless. Well, it was true that the two of them held the number two. She was second from the beginning while her sister was second from the last.
Lin Xiao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Do you want to increase your ranking?"
"No. As you have said, second from last is already good enough." Princess Lan Yi Hua said unhurriedly. While her real result for the fight was actually in the middle, she didn't mind admitted to it. Standing beside Lin Xiao, she could feel that he was protecting her even though she didn't ask for it.
The feeling… was a bit strange.
Lin Xiao chuckled. "In that case, let's go back."
"Sure."
"If you all want to increase your ranking, you can stay here and fight the others." Lin Xiao looked at the others.
Fan Ling and Sui Wenyan nodded. The two of them needed more Spirit Stones, so they would try to fight against someone at the top 100. Of course, they would just pick some who were fairly weaker and not someone famous like the princes.
"Wait a moment! Do you really think that you can just leave like that?" Prince Lin Hong asked coldly. He used his aura to suppress them. As someone who nearly passed the fifth stage, his power was much more than what Prince Lin Kai could ever hope to achieve.
'You would need to be very serious if you want to fight him,' Lin Hu remarked from inside Lin Xiao's consciousness.
Lin Xiao didn't reply and merely looked at Prince Lin Hong. "What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Since she wants to fight, you should reply to her."
"The rules stated that only those at lower rank can challenge those at the higher rank. Naturally, it meant that you're also not qualified to challenge her. Do you want to bully people, Your Highness?" Lin Xiao asked with a sneer.
"To think that there would be a day when I see Foundation Establishment Cultivators being so shameless so as to make things hard for Body Training Stage Cultivators. I have just realized that the world is so vast!"
"You…" Prince Lin Hong frowned. As a matter of fact, aside from the fact that Princess Lan Xiao Yue was a few seconds younger than Princess Lan Yi Hua, she was at higher rank. Naturally, it meant that the second princess had better talent but it didn't mean that they could challenge the other.
After all, the ranking had stated that Princess Lan Yi Hua was only in the middle and already satisfied with her current ranking.
He turned to look at his followers. "Those at lower rank, come forward to challenge her."
Their eyes shone as they wanted to prove themselves. Almost immediately, they were already busy thinking what position they have and whether they could challenge her or not.
