《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 169: Passing the Gate
Advertisement
While they were pondering what they should do, Lin Xiao noticed several people were walking not far from him towards the gate. The two fair ladies could easily attract one's attention because of their beautiful figure. But not for Lin Xiao. His eyes narrowed. "Xu Qin, Bai Xin."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yun's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction that Lin Xiao was looking at. He instantly recognized the two fair ladies who were walking not far from them. But from the way it looked like, the two ladies didn't recognize them in the slightest bit.
Xu Qin didn't change much even though she was already 17 years old by now. She had fair complexion and well developed body. For a girl at her age, she was starting to bloom to be a beautiful flower. There were many people who admired her beauty, especially youngsters their age who had just started to grow.
Bai Xin was also a peerless beauty for someone who was still very young. She had great figure and voluptuous breast. Many men were also looking in her direction as there were not many female cultivators who managed to pass this stage.
"She's under 20 years old?" Lin Yun was stunned.
Lin Xiao nodded. "Xu Qin is the same age as us, right?"
"I'm not talking about her but that female disciple. Wait, what's her name? Ba Xin? Bai Xi? Who?"
"Bai Xin." Lin Xiao smiled bitterly. Bai Xin was a disciple from Yun Liu Sect because Liu Gang had accepted her as his disciple back then. He didn't know the detail but it seemed that both Xu Qin and Bai Xin received tremendous support to be able to come here.
Xu Qin was already at Body Training Stage 8.
In just two years' time, she had advanced three stages, formally stepping into the ranks of powerful cultivators. Even Su Han might be green in envy if he were to see how fast Xu Qin grew.

As for Bai Xin, it was needless to say that she had already reached Body Training Rank 10. The power that was exuded from her beautiful body was more than enough to make some people make way. Only those who had reached Foundation Establishment wouldn't look at her with their eyes.
They were all more powerful than her, why should they care?
"She's 20 years old," Wenren Yu said from the side. He had the capabilities to gauge one's age from their appearance and also aura. It was a skill that he had developed during his time traveling around with his Master back then.
20?
Lin Xiao and Lin Yun looked at Sui Wenyan. In their opinion, when one reached 20 years old, they should be at the same stage as Sui Wenyan to be called powerful. After all, if they still didn't manage to pass Body Training Stage at that age, their golden time would be over very soon.
Swish! Bang!
The sound from the front attracted their attention. Upon seeing that there were several others who had failed the examination, the others grew nervous. There was not a single one of them who had passed.
"What's the cultivation stage of those who had failed?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Body Training Rank 8 and 9."
Furrowing his brows. Lin Xiao studied the gate. He noticed some words were carved on the edge of the door. While he had never learned the language before, he felt that the words were familiar to him because he could read it.
"Only those who had the strength of a dragon might pass."
"Huh?"
"What's that?"
Sui Wenyan was also looking at Lin Xiao who was looking at the gate. They had walked a bit to get closer but they had no intention to pass the stage yet. After all, they were waiting for someone to finally pass, but those with higher rank cultivation didn't seem to be in a hurry either.

"Is that…"
"It's written there," Lin Xiao said with a bitter smile. He himself didn't know why he could read it, but it was clearly written on the gate. At the same time, he noticed the number that was hovering at the side of the gate.
7.
If even Body Training Rank 8 had failed, the number shouldn't be representing their rank. It might be something else…
"Body strength…. Yun, what's your current body's strength?"
"Around 7," Lin Yun replied with uncertainty. Wenren Yu has been instructing him to train and with the help of the herbs, he managed to train his body to be better and better again.
Wenren Yu arched his eyebrows. "I'm the same."
"Then we should be able to pass." Lin Xiao smiled.
"Really?"
Bang!
The sound of something fell attracted their attention. Upon seeing that it was someone at Body Training Rank 10, some of them turned hesitant. After all, majority of the 6,000 people here were only at Body Training Rank 10.
If even they couldn't pass, how could they possibly pass?
Many were feeling extremely unwilling. They felt that the test was unfair and that they should be the one to pass the test with their effort and not just because their stages were lower.
"Shall we try?"
"Wait."
"Why?"
"Those who try at first will attract a lot of attention." Lin Xiao passed a sidelong glance. While attention was nice, he didn't want to attract unwanted attention especially when there was no need for him to do so. Besides, there were some other people who would certainly wanted to take the spotlight.
"But…"
"Just wait until those who want to grab the spotlight out. Afterwards, we can take the test."
Sui Wenyan arched her eyebrows and looked at one side. As Lin Xiao had thought, there was someone who walked out. Their majestic appearance and great aura attracted a lot of attention as they immediately recognized them.
Some of them even bowed down as they greeted loudly, "Your Highness!"
Their voices were filled with reference even though they were all around the same age.

Nothing wrong with those stories this just isn't one. This is a simple story about a guy playing a game and finally 3.) This story is extremely rough, i did very little editing, this is just me gauging interest really. oh, and English is my 1st language, if for some reason you find that important.

What awaited him was something truly special that no man would have dreamed of... One much darker than he would have ever expected... [ Greetings Ren Silver… You have proven yourself worthy without a shadow of a doubt… Welcome to your NEW REALITY... ] *****************************IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE! This post was made by #NoHaremGang! Although the synopsis and the first few chapters make it sound like one, THIS IS NOT A VRMMO NOVEL. This is a proper Isekai! This will be a MALE LEAD novel, despite the cover. There will be romance however later down the line, and the person in the cover will be the main love interest! The Novel's MC will not be a very moral guy. He is not a hero! He will value logic and reasoning over most of his decisions and values his own survival! There will be some romance later on but probably not a lot of it! The first few chapters are slow and set up the world so don't let that deter you, because the action is not too far from there! I hope you guys enjoy the novel! There will also be original art on specific chapters! So keep an eye out for those! ;) *****************************
