Chapter 172: The End of the Third Test

While Lin Xiao was pondering, he noticed a familiar figure from the side and his lips twitched. Time to run from that chatterbox.

Turning around in the opposite direction, Lin Xiao dragged the others to follow him. He didn’t have the slightest intention to accompany Song Hua in the latter’s talkative spree and ended up having to listen to everything he said.

It was already more than enough.

Thankfully, he was not the only person Song Hua knew so Lin Xiao managed to escape by moving to another side of the room. The place was large and there were only a few people inside, which was increasing as time passed.

Lin Xiao looked around and noticed that the hall was bigger and when he was looking at the wall, he finally realized that there were a lot of engraving on the wall. There was faint Qi movement that one could sense and each of the engraving didn’t seem to be made without any preparation beforehand.

It looked profound.

’Every engraving here will contain the ability to harness the Qi in the world,’ Lin Hu interrupted Lin Xiao before the latter fell into deep contemplation. ’There’s no use even if you stare at them for a long period of time without understanding the basic. Besides, your talent in comprehending runes and also the use of it is very low.’

Lin Xiao was speechless.

’I haven’t even tried to train in it and you already say that my talent and comprehension in low?’

’Trust me, if you have any talent in it, you would have already known the use of the engraving at the wall. Since you only feel some curiosity towards it, it just shows that you don’t have the affinity with it.’

At this point, Lin Xiao was resisting the urge to throw Lin Hu away. He hadn’t even tried anything yet he was already regarded as someone with low talent. It thoroughly annoy him that this dragon simply disregarded his talent.

Hmph!

Lin Hu shook his head inside Lin Xiao’s consciousness. Another reason why he knew that Lin Xiao didn’t have the talent was because of the influence of the Dragon Blood. Since they already have their own language, the world restricted them from using the world means to understand the way the Qi work using the runes that humans created.

After all, it could be categorized as another language. And since dragons were already too powerful, they were not allowed to learn the runes in the slightest bit to make sure that their power would not be over the top.

But he didn’t have the plan to tell Lin Xiao about this.

At least, not now.

"The third stage is now over. The next test is for you to climb the stairs and reach the room above. As long as you can reach the room above, you’ll be accepted as Sun Dragon Academy’s disciple!"

Huh? Only walking up the stairs?

The people inside the rooms were all stunned. The stairs looked very normal and ordinary to the point that it didn’t pose any challenge. But for it to be the test, they knew that the test must be something abnormal just like what the other tests were. Hence, not a single one of them dared to slack off.

Lin Xiao saw the guard walked away, but the geniuses near the stairs were hesitant. They didn’t want to be the cannon fodder to test the stairs. After all, every genius had their own pride and they certainly wouldn’t want to allow themselves be used by other people.

"Who want to try first?"

Silence.

Everyone was looking at each other as if they were worried that they would be used by other people. They might be proud of themselves, but they were not stupid enough to let themselves be used by others.

"Weaklings."

The one word immediately attracted their attention to the person who spoke. Standing at the back, Prince Lin Kai sneered when he saw everyone was looking at him. He pointed to the stairs with his chin held high.

"If no one wants to try, let this one show you how it’s done."

The other people gritted their teeth, yet they still let Prince Lin Kai moved pass them. Since this prince wanted to try first and possibly humiliate himself, why should they prevent him from doing so? They wanted to see how this prince would perform so badly.

At the back, Prince Lin Hong watched his imperial older brother stepped forward and merely sneered in silence. How stupid of that prince to mock everyone. Well, the intelligence level of his older brother was always very low.

If not for that, why would they thought of him as someone with the lowest chance to get the throne?

Prince Lin Hong snorted and turned his head around. He knew that Prince Lin Kai had more than enough qualification. There was no need for him to watch his older brother succeed since it was more important to watch the others.

Tep!

Prince Lin Kai stepped on the stair. The light in his eyes dulled for a moment before it returned back to normal. He stepped into the stairs and began to climb, one step at each time. His movement was not slow but not fast either. From the onlookers point of view, he looked like he was only climbing an ordinary stair.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"This... is ordinary stair?"

"But there are more than 500 people in this hall."

"Right. Do you think that it’s just a bluff from Prince Lin Kai?"

"Nonsense! There’s no one who know the content of the test before it comes to light today!"

Indeed, there were at least 2000 people who were staying inside this hall. If the stair was nothing more than an ordinary stair, would it mean that everyone here would pass? That didn’t sound plausible.

Sun Dragon Academy was not that generous.

"I’ll try!"

A sound attracted everyone’s attention as they turned around.
