Lin Xiao was still looking at the young man before him with doubtful expression when he saw Sui Wenyan walked out of the door opposite of him. She glanced at Lin Xiao then to the young man who was coughing blood not far from her.

Internally, Sui Wenyan shook her head. Thanks to the sudden strength improvement that Lin Xiao had, he could easily defeat those people at the same rank or could be go toe to toe with those above him. She herself knew that if she had to fight with raw strength, she would lose.

Thanks to that knowledge, she always avoided direct confrontation with Lin Xiao during their spars. That allowed her to win in almost every exchange unless during the time that Lin Xiao managed to catch her off guard.

"I…I'll go now," the young man stammered before he dashed off, not willing to try fighting Lin Xiao again.

"He's weak?" Lin Xiao asked in confused tone.

"He's not weak, but your physical strength is insane." Sui Wenyan pointed at Lin Xiao. "Didn't you still find it difficult to control your strength at time? That's because your strength increased by leaps and bounds, far from what your previous strength was. Because of the sudden change, you're more powerful than normal Body Training Rank 10."

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows while nodding. He knew that he had grown more powerful thanks to the medicine bath that he had. But… how come the medicinal efficacy increased that much?

'You have Dragon Blood inside your body, why do you even think it's strange? Those of Imperial Family all have innate strength because of the dragon blood. The purer the dragon blood, the more you can increase your strength.

Normally it'll take a long time but because of the herbs concoction that Wenren Yu prepared, you can increase your strength rapidly. The only downside is that you need to learn how to control your strength first before you can attempt to make your breakthrough unless you want to lose control of your strength,' Lin Hu berated inside Lin Xiao's consciousness.

'Eh, it means that the other princes are as strong?'

'Nah, your dragon blood is somewhat purer. Though, I don't know why.'

Purer?

Lin Xiao was confused at Lin Hu's words. How the dragon blood could be transmitted to the younger generation was unclear and Lin Xiao himself didn't have much knowledge regarding this matter. 

It seemed that he would need to make a trip to the library to find out about this someday.

"You're that country bumpkin?"

The high pitched voice made Lin Xiao turned his head around. He could see Bai Xin standing not far from him. Her eyes were looking straight at him with hatred. Even though she didn't know what happened, she always hated this young man before her because of Xu Qin's story.

"What do you want?" Lin Xiao asked straightforwardly, without any intention to talk peacefully. This woman would surely try to challenge him at this time, so Lin Xiao also had no intention to talk with her.

Bai Xin snorted. "The room at this floor didn't deserve you. You should go back at lower floor."

"And who are you to decide that?" Lin Xiao asked back with a scorn. Did this woman have a screw loose somewhere? What made her think that she had the qualification to decide who stayed at the third floor?

She was only Body Training Rank 10 cultivator, far weaker than most others here.

How stupid.

"You're just a weak country bumpkin in an unnamed village. What makes you think that…"

Swish!

Before Bai Xin could finish talking, she felt sudden pressure. Lin Xiao had punched forward but his aim was not Bai Xin, rather, it was beside her. However, the wind generated by the punch was more than enough to give out pressure.

Her eyes widened. "How…?"

The two of them were only at Body Training Rank 10, but the attack just now clearly told her that if she got hit, she wouldn't be able to escape. Lin Xiao punched very fast, faster than her reaction. If he truly wanted it, he could have already wounded her so badly she would not be able to do anything anymore.

Lin Xiao turned his body around. "Background didn't determine your future."

"You…"

Bang!

Closing the door, Lin Xiao had no interest to deal with that unreasonable woman again. Why couldn't she just leave him alone? They barely knew each other and only met because of circumstances.

Besides, a woman like her who only knew how to listen to one sided story was really not someone he wanted to see. That kind of woman was simply too fake and annoying!

'Time to go back to train.'

Outside the door, Bai Xin was still looking at the door before her with hatred. If only looks could kill, she would have murdered the door countless times over inside her mind. Turning her head, Bai Xin could see Sui Wenyan was looking at her with placid expression.

Instantly, she felt sudden danger on her back. Even though Sui Wenyan didn't look at her with malicious gaze, there was faint threat from her gaze when she was looking at the young woman before her. In fact, there was faint scorn that was beneath the woman's gaze.

'Did I offend her?'

While Bai Xin was confused, Sui Wenyan turned around and entered the room. Clearly, she had no interest to pursue the matter anymore. Even though Sui Wenyan didn't know much about Bai Xin, she could guess that Lin Xiao had some bad blood with her.

Well, she would just be careful around this annoying woman then.

"Wha…?" Bai Xin looked at the door with confused expression. She was certain that she had never met with Sui Wenyan before, yet she could feel malicious gaze directed towards her.

She felt utterly confused.

After thinking to no avail, Bai Xin chose to leave the place and returned back to her room.
