《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.

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.
