Rise of the Great Emperor-Chapter 85: Is the Lake permanent?

Chapter 85: Is the Lake permanent?

Time passed swiftly.

Weeks to weeks, months to months, and seasons also changed.

Lin Xiao was already 16 years old by now and grew a bit taller. However, he still looked a bit childish if one didn't pay close attention.

Bang!

"Brother, don't destroy the cave," Lin Yun reminded helplessly. He had the feeling that his brother really loved to destroy the cave because he would use the cave's wall as his target to test his power.

"I'm just training."

Lin Xiao really missed the forest because he could train with the beasts there. But unfortunately, he could only fight against some underwater beasts that came here and used them as his training partner.

As the result, he was growing better and better when it came to underwater fight.

"New Year had already passed three months ago, but the water is not going down at all," Lin Yun commented. They were planning to get out before it was New Year, but it didn't seem like it was possible.

Over the past few months, Lin Yun's advancement was the fastest. Since he was someone who relied on herbs the most and had Yin Body Constitution, all types of Yang herbs would do wonders to him. Because of that, he managed to breakthrough two stages and reached Body Training Rank 8.

Wenren Yu was also not slow because he had already reached Body Training Rank 8, which was the same as Lin Xiao. In fact, their speed was not slow at all because they spent more than half a year, nearly a year, in this cave while checking outside from time to time.

Unfortunately, the lake didn't respond to their wishes and continued to trap them here.

Not only that, it was always raining every few days, which made the water level stagnated. And if they want to get out by swimming, they would have to face some powerful beasts that originated from the lake.

Unless they had already reached Golden Core Stage, no one else could defeat the beasts.

In the end, they were simply staying here and did whatever they could to stay alive and continued to train.

Only those who were selected to be disciples were taken away by teleportation scroll with Liu Gang after he had confirmed that Luo Mingyue, the woman's representative from Wang Luo Sect, had died.

"I think the lake didn't allow me to leave," Lin Xiao said bitterly.

"The lake didn't allow you to leave?" Wenren Yu had strange expression.

"Why?"

"Well…"

Lin Xiao found it hard to explain. After all, he knew for sure that the dragon could only be summoned inside the lake. Without the dragon's protection, there would be too many people who wished to kill him.

So far, there was no powerful cultivators who appeared in the lake. There might be someone on the other side of the mountain, but Lin Xiao and the rest didn't see any from their side.

"Don't force yourself to tell me if you can't. It must be your personal problem," Lin Yun added when he saw Lin Xiao was troubled.

"Yeah."

"Oh well, even if we're trapped here, I don't think that it'll be impossible for you to leave. Didn't you say that the beast didn't attack you at all?"

Recalling his time back in the north forest, Lin Xiao nodded. The beast strangely didn't attack him in the slightest bit and even allowed him to leave freely in the forest. But in the underwater, he still found several beast chasing after him.

What if that powerful beast tried to attack him?

They wouldn't be able to get out.

"Do you want to stay here longer so that you can train again, Brother?" Lin Yun asked amusedly. Training here was also good for him as he was already proficient in Mountain Punch, Rock Shield, Moon Evasion, and also Cloud Gathering. The three of them continued to train so badly that the cave had been expanded more than 10 times its original size.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Training with the beast underwater is good, but I also want to fight in the land."

"Well, there's a beast here, Brother."

Turning his head to the side, Lin Xiao noticed that Lin Yun was correct. A beast appeared from the small cave, seemingly intrigued to something. Without hesitation, Lin Xiao lunged forward and punched the beast.

Bang! Splash!

Twisting its large body, the beast entered the water again. Lin Xiao jumped into the water and chased after the beast. It looked like small sized shark when Lin Xiao saw the beast opened its mouth that was filled with razor like teeth.

He twisted his body and punched forward.

Bang!

Even though the water would decrease the power that Lin Xiao could exerted, he knew for sure that it was already more than enough to deal with this beast over here.

Swish!

Using Moon Evasion, Lin Xiao reappeared by the beast's side and punched again. The mighty power behind his punch immediately blasted the beast deeper into the water as the beast's flesh twisted horribly.

The beast tried to run away, but Lin Xiao grabbed its tail and then proceeded to the last punch that directly shattered the backbone.

Snap!

The beast had died.
