"Phoenix Inheritance?"

Lin Xiao had heard about it, but from what he knew, it was only for women who had the phoenix blood in their body. Well, if they have decent qualification, it was not impossible. "But you're…"

"Hua Lan Kingdom used to be ruled by the Empress and it meant that both me and my sister had Phoenix blood. However, the concentration might not be that much." Princess Lan Yi Hua sighed. "I would like to try it."

Lin Xiao nodded. Probably, his identity as the one who received the Emperor's Inheritance would be a pressure that pushed those around him to get stronger too. Looking at her gaze, he knew that she was adamant to get it.

"In that case, I'll support you. But if things get too hard or you can't bear with it by yourself, you have to tell me."

"I will."

On the side, Lin Hu felt like throwing up when he saw the two of them. He couldn't believe that his master was now torturing him by making him see them flirting with each other like that. Ahhh, he wanted to bury a hole and hide right now.

"Oh right, do you have any method to train?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Train?"

"Well, someone wants me to die, so if I get out now, I'm sure that they'll figure it out quickly. Staying here should be fine because I can use the time to practice. There's still 2 years' time before I need to return," Lin Xiao explained.

Lin Hu grunted and pointed to the lake. "You can turn it into Qi lake."

"How?"

"Just write it down."

Lin Xiao blinked and then he initiated his Qi before writing on the surface of the water. However, he was not writing in the usual language but rather, it was the dragon language that he was familiar with.

The moment the writing was done, the Qi in the air suddenly rushed over in their direction. It was heading towards the lake in rapid speed and then fused inside as the concentration of the Qi increased rapidly.

"This…"

"Foundation Establishment is the stage when you're going to need a lot of resources. Lake Dragon is far superior in this because all we need to do is finding a lake," Lake Dragon Lin Hu explained. Other dragons would be scavenging everywhere for resources but he could just stay here and let the resources come by themselves.

Both Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua were speechless.

"Well, this is a good training environment."

"More like the place for us to absorb a lot of Qi." Lin Xiao looked around him. Normal people required around 5 to 20 years to absorb the Qi before they made their breakthrough to Golden Core Stage. For them, spending two years here might be already more than enough since the resources was plenty.

"Shall we call the others?"

"Oh, right. We need to explain what had happened to them. I also need some sparring partner. Lin Hu, return."

Lin Hu, who was glad to be able to return back, quickly closed his eyes to sleep in Lin Xiao's consciousness. He didn't want to be forced dog food again. A mighty dragon like him would never want to be fed with dog food, hmph!

…

Outside

Bang!

Prince Lin Yan thrashed everyone around him, spilling blood everywhere. His icy gaze swept to the last disciple who still survived.

The last disciple looked at Prince Lin Yan and snorted. "Do you want to be expelled for killing your fellow…"

Slash!

"I'm just killing beasts and not disciples. It's your fault for standing on my way," Prince Lin Yan said coldly. He was about to graduate too, so he didn't really think it was necessary for him to follow the rules anymore. Besides, who could say that he was the one who killed them when his mission was actually not in this mountain?

"Brother!"

Prince Lin Yan nodded his head when he saw his two younger brother. "Where's Lin Xiao?"

"We got separated from him." Prince Lin San was a bit frustrated. In that moment of panic, they forgot to follow Lin Xiao and fled around the area. The beast horde had just passed but they soon realized that Lin Xiao was not among them.

"Contact him."

"He didn't answer."

Prince Lin Yan's gaze was cold. He might not like his new brother, but he didn't want Lin Xiao to die. Once the one with the Emperor's Inheritance died because of their own people, their kingdom would be plunged into hell with no hope of recovery in the slightest bit.

They would be forced to move from their destroyed homeland.

"Try again. We'll…"

At this time, Lin Yun rushed to them. "Brother just contacted me. He's inside the mountain and asked us to come there if we want to practice."

"Huh?"

…

Everyone's eyes were fixated at the lake where Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua was staying at. The dense Qi made it hard for them to resist the temptation. Those who came here were only the three princes along with Lin Xiao's group but they were already feeling that the piece of news was overwhelming.

"You're saying that this place will be able to support all of us?" Lin Yun asked in weird tone.

Lin Xiao nodded. "You're all at Foundation Establishment. If you stay in this lake, you'll be able to make your breakthrough faster."

"But the amount of Qi in this lake…"

"Don't worry, it won't run out."

As long as Lin Xiao could still write with dragon language, it would never run out. The others looked at each other before they all jumped into the lake. If they could make use of the next two years wisely, they wouldn't be that far from Golden Core Stage.

On the other hand, the two princes looked at their brother. Only when Prince Lin Yan determined that the Qi was normal did they jumped into the lake and began their training.

He looked at Lin Xiao. "Lin Xiao, I want to talk with you."

"Yes?"
