Mu Xiao Ya carefully assessed the people in front of her. Her lips tugged to form a sweet smile before she entered the carriage that was prepared for her. Behind her, Lei Xing Yi hurriedly followed.
Lin Xiao watched everything that occurred and then focused his attention to form the dragon words inside his mind. While it was already imprinted to his soul, it would take some time for him to recall and write it down.
This training will hasten the process.
If he was good at this, he would be able to use the dragon words for battle in the future! That would be very exciting.
"We'll depart." A man from the three men group said. He assumed the position as the leader and the second group didn't protest. Prince Lin Yan also nodded as he had no intention to contend for the leadership's position.
What a joke, why would they even bother?
The only reason they took the mission was to be able to get into the next city 'legally.'
"This is also a good chance for you four to rest. Try to stay on guard but keep yourself relaxed." Prince Lin Yan naturally didn't wish to make the four of them turned into battle maniac.
He limited the fight that they had and every 7 days, they would have some rest. This way, they would be ready for the next 7 grueling days of battle.
"Yes!"
They all nodded solemnly and continued the journey. Not having to battle was one thing but it was also quite boring to be in a journey without anything to do. Prince Lin San's eyes occasionally turned golden. There were faint red sparks on Princess Lan Yi Hua's hand. On the other hand, Xia Ye's shadows flickered from time to time.
Prince Lin Yan shook his head because he knew that these four were all training on their own but they only did some relaxed training and not one that would exhaust them.
"There's a bear upfront!"
"Kill it!"
Their group was located at the rear. The three men group were at the front while the six people group were in the middle. This would have formed perfect protection if not for the loose formation they formed.
From the way it looked like, it wouldn't take long for enemies to breach since each group worked on their own.
"From the side!"
"Attack!" A young man from the six people group charged first. He swung his large axe, meeting the incoming boar head on.
Princess Lan Yi Hua watched from the side. "Fool. That's Crystal Boar, one with the hardest defense here."
Lin Xiao listened carefully. He had been getting more knowledge from Princess Lan Yi Hua since she was really like a walking encyclopedia. Her knowledge regarding beasts in Hua Lan Kingdom could be considered complete.
Not only that, she also knew some other kingdoms' animal.
This made Lin Hu laughed so hard when Lin Xiao realized that Princess Lan Yi Hua was only pretending to be stupid and didn't fill in her answer sheet. Unlike Lin Xiao who was genuinely didn't know, Princess Lan Yi Hua was still more knowledgeable and only hid her brilliance.
"There's another one at the back!"
"AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa!"
The six people group quickly separated into two groups as one dealt with the boar at the left while the other one dealt with the boar at the back. At the front, the three people group had already finished dealing with the bear and looked at the other two groups.
"What are you doing there? Help out!" someone from the six people group noticed that Lin Xiao's group was silent and barked out.
Lin Xiao looked at the group as if they were an idiot. The beast was only at rank 4. Why should he expend any effort to kill it? The others were also feeling lazy to move since it was only rank 4.
They had killed hundreds or even thousands of beast rank 4 over the past year and this time, it was just the weaker bunch.
"F*ck! Help me!"
"AAAAAaaaah!"
Lin Xiao then turned to look at the others but it was clear that neither one of them wanted to make their move. They were all feeling that when the boar was close enough to their range of attack, they could just swiftly attack it.
However, their concern was unnecessary because the six people group had finished dealing with them. There were some minor injuries but it was fine.
"It's good that our group have two Golden Core Stage 1 Cultivators."
"Yes, if not we're not going to be able to defeat it."
One of them looked at Lin Xiao's group resentfully. "Why don't you help us out? You're here for the escort mission, right?"
"We're escorting, yes. However, since you're already stepping forward to stop the boar, why should we move forward?" Lin Xiao retorted. "Do you really think that we can cooperate with your lo….your group."
He nearly wanted to say lousy but then he felt that it would be inappropriate. In any case, his standard had been risen thanks to Sun Dragon Academy, thus he forgot that normal people would never be able to defeat beast rank 4 when they were at Foundation Establishment.
While it had become as easy as slaughtering chicken for Lin Xiao, it was not the same for the group in front of him.
They were just normal mercenaries and not one that was carefully taught in an academy that was meant for geniuses.
Almost immediately, Lin Xiao earned contempt from the six people's group
