While Lin Xiao was training hard in the prison, the others didn't stay idle either. They had already experienced the pressure from the people who had malicious intent towards them and also Prince Lin Hong.

Because Prince Lin Kai was gone (he was sent back to the Royal Family after he had turned into a cripple because he could no longer study in the academy), Prince Lin Hong turned to be the most influential one in the first grade along with Princess Lan Xiao Yue. Lin Xiao's friends and followers all stayed low for the time being while focusing on their training.

Splash!

Walking out of the tube, Lin Yun nodded to Wenren Yu. "It's successful."

Wenren Yu nodded. After that forest training, Lin Yun wanted to have the medicine bath along with Xia Ye. The two of them managed to endure the pain and have their physical strength greatly increased. Xia Ye even made a breakthrough to Body Training Rank 10 and now he was trying to get used to his strength before making breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Lin Yun had also reached physical body level 11 after the two medicine bath (the first one was a long time ago). He had also consumed several yang type of flower, which increased his Qi greatly. While he could spend his time to train his physical body more, he wanted to make his breakthrough so that he would be able to attempt the Fourth Examination Ground and learn more beneficial skill.

Even if he was faced with several enemies, he didn't want to lose again.

"I'll train first."

"Ok."

Sui Wenyan came into Wenren Yu room and glanced at Lin Xiao's direction. She sighed. "He's pushing himself."

"All of us is." Wenren Yu couldn't bring himself to take the medicine bath because he knew his pain tolerance was lower. However, he had also tested several medicine and tried to create some powerful poison based on the recipe books that he had seen in the library.

Those would be his secret skill.

Even though he was more inclined to make medicine, he also spent his time to create poison during his free time. Thankfully, their physical training with that demonic teacher never changed and many of them had already switched to heavier boulder because their physical body had increased in strength.

Sui Wenyan nodded. She looked into a distance then at Wenren Yu. "There will be a mission that's related to the long lost sound art. I'm planning to take it in the future so that I'll be able to grow more powerful. However, I'll wait for Lin Xiao to get out of the prison first."

"I'll come with you at that time," Wenren Yu said solemnly. He also wanted to test his skill and doing it outside would be more beneficial rather than within the training ground of the academy. After all, the use of poison could be very dangerous and harmful.

"Make your breakthrough first. If you haven't reached Foundation Establishment, the journey might be too dangerous for you."

"Alright."

Fan Ling was also staying within her room and trained her fan. She was trying to make use of her Qi better. After that bitter battle that showed her failure to protect others despite being a bit more powerful than them, she didn't want to lose anymore.

Swish!

The Qi in the air fluttered along with her movement and a mark appeared on the wall. However, it was repaired almost immediately thanks to the runes that was placed on the building to prevent the students from damaging them. This was also the reason why Fan Ling dared to train here.

'Not enough, I have to be faster and stronger.'

Just like that, the three months swiftly passed. Prince Lin Hong was too busy gathering more followers and influenced people to follow him to care for Lin Xiao's followers. Besides, they always avoided them and stayed in their dorm most of the time. It was impossible for them to create trouble in the dorm, would they?

If these people locked themselves in their room, it was impossible for them to bring them out and it was not like there was any compulsory classes that they needed to attend.

"It's already three months. Brother should be released already, right?" Lin Yun muttered as he walked out. The aura of Foundation Establishment made some who were still at Body Training Stage to move away.

Right now, all of them had already reached Foundation Establishment with various body strength. Since they have officially entered Foundation Establishment, it was also time for them to start learning how to use their Qi better. The trip to the forest had already gave them insight of what skills they wanted to learn.

Xia Ye, who used to be the weakest, was the one who improved the most. He had reached Foundation Establishment and now focused his training to increase his attack greatly along with movement speed. He didn't want to get caught in the middle of fight and then unable to do anything ever again. 

Wenren Yu nodded. "He should be. However, I don't think we can make it to the prison without encountering some troubles."

"Well, even if we did encounter trouble, it's not like it's avoidable." Lin Yun arched his eyebrows. "If they dared to make trouble for me, I'll make sure that they would not be able to fight back and kick them out."

"Heh, sure."

After the forest trial, only around 765 students were left in the first year. Such massive loss was startling, but the teachers turn blind eye to it. They already knew that in the batch of student with the Royal Family, the loss would be bigger because of their influence to try pulling student to their side.

Fan Ling and the others also walked out. Since it was time for Lin Xiao to get out of the prison, they wanted to welcome him.

"Let's go."

The eight people walked to the prison, attracting the attention of some people nearby.
