Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 328: Defend, Attack, Recover

Chapter 328: Defend, Attack, Recover

As expected, the others were speechless when Lin Xiao told them that he had become Long Hao Master. If it was Princess Lan Yi Hua who became his master, the others might not be that surprised.

But Lin Xiao…

What did that brat see in this unreliable person?

Of course, Lin Xiao was ready to refute anyone who dared to look down on him. He would make sure that he could live up the expectation as Long Hao's master, though it might not be in terms of cultivation since Long Hao's knowledge might even better than him.

"So, these markings on the ground meant something?" Prince Lin Yan chose to interrogate Lin Xiao later and focused on another matter.

As more and more people entered the room, he noticed that the light pillar grew brighter. It might need to reach a certain number before the test could start or it was simply waiting for everyone who were still alive to enter this room.

Lin Xiao nodded. He glanced at Long Hao and the latter swiftly formed that Sound Insulation Array.

"There are three words: Defend, Attack, Recover. This the writing for each." With ease, Lin Xiao copied the writing but he purposely didn't completely copy them. He could sense that once he completed it, it would activate directly and probably even sucked up most of his power.

As the current him, he was still incapable of even activating one.

The others also looked around to compare what Lin Xiao was writing with the words on the ground. Their eyes focused.

"What do you think it'll mean?"

"I don't know but we might need to stand on top of one of them when the instruction is given." Lin Xiao shrugged.

Prince Lin Yan nodded then turned to look at the pillar. "You can give instruction to us if you deem it necessary."

"Alright. If you don't know which one you need to step on, shout 0. I'll try to figure out how to deal with it."

If Lin Xiao had to be honest, he was also unsure regarding this matter. Looking at the pillar in front of him and also the engravings on the ground, he knew that it would not be enough for everyone in this room.

The number of engravings were limited.

Swis.h.!.+

At this moment, a cultivator entered the room.

BOOM!

The ground shook and the pillar shone brighter before a laugher rang out. Everyone was on guard as they looked at the center pillar and tried their best to stay as calm as possible. They all didn't know what they would face next.

"The next test… is your reaction speed. Pick any of the engravings to stand on and face the attacks!"

Pick any?

Lin Xiao's mind rotated as he gave instruction directly. "Pick one that will complement your weakness."

The others swiftly moved. Princess Lan Yi Hua stood on the defend one, Lin Xiao stood on the attack, Prince Lin Yan stood on recovery, Prince Lin San stood on attack, Long Hao stood on recovery, Xia Ye stood on recovery too, and Hu Fei stood on recovery.

Because they took most of the recovery ones, they stood far away from each other and didn't seem to be able to cooperate with each other.

The others also scampered to stand on top of the engravings near them. When all of them were filled, some unfortunate people were still unable to find any and looked helpless. They gritted their teeth and began to attack the weakest of the bunch.

"DIE!"

Lin Xiao noticed that someone was trying to attack him. He rolled his eyes as his hand punched forward.

Mountain Punch, Fourth Stance!

The man was flung to the back. He was already at Golden Core Stage 1 but it was clear that if Lin Xiao wanted to, he could overpower them. Mountain Punch relied greatly on the sharpness, so it meant that it would be easy for him to injure the other party greatly.

Just as the man wanted to attack again, the engravings below Lin Xiao shone, formed attack array around him.

"This..."

Lin Xiao looked at the array and seemed to understand that they had to use one that would help them to face the attacks.

After him, several others array also lit up. It seemed that it depended on how long they could stand on the array for it to activate.

The youth looked desperate and rushed over to others.

Clang! Clang! Bang!

The sound of fighting filled the room and those who still didn't get the array were those of the weaker bunch. They failed to even grab one because they were not fast enough or not strong enough.

The others in Lin Xiao's group had already had their array activated. With their current power, it was clear that they were all capable to defend themselves. Unless they were attacked by Golden Core Stage 2…

But those of Golden Core Stage 2 all had already gotten their array and would not try to meddle with the others anymore when it was unnecessary like this.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

"Give me the slot!"

"AAAAAa!"

The fierce battle continued until the last array was filled with one person who was slightly luckier than others. He was not wounded that terribly and managed to protect the array until it was activated.

"Yes!"

"NO!"

The others were despairing. At this moment, the ground rumbled and those who were not in the position of the arrays fell into the deep abyss below them. Their screams filled the rooms where the others were standing patiently.

"AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Noooooooo!"

Lin Xiao watched everything as he stood calmly in his small pillar. If he moved even a little bit, it would mean his death. No one knew how deep the abyss were but from the screams that followed the youngsters…

They were all falling to their death down there.

'What a cruel elimination.' Those weaker ones were all eliminated right away with this method and those who were left were those who have higher chance of survival.
