Chapter 163: Participants

Lin Xiao now felt as if he was talking to a relic. He looked at Lin Hu in his consciousness and pondered whether it was a good decision to ask him about his age. It felt as if he was just an infant in front of Lin Hu.

"What are you looking at?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao looked at the front and noticed that a young man was standing there. He was wearing purple robe and had long hair. What stood out the most was how fair his skin was and how slender his body. If one didn't hear him speak and saw his adam apple, they would surely think of him as a girl.

The young man looked at Lin Xiao, who was standing while looking in his direction with irritation. "Don't you dare calling me a sissy again."

"I didn't even say anything," Lin Xiao murmured then smiled apologetically then turned around. However, he could sense the killing intent from the man even though he did nothing.

"Brother…" Lin Yun was speechless. Even when Lin Xiao was doing nothing, he could attract trouble? He felt that his brother had an innate talent to create trouble no matter where he was and what he was doing.

Even Wenren Yu and Sui Wenyan closed their eyes and felt like they didn't want to get involved. Lin Xiao was only standing, but because the person in front of him hated to be looked at even for a second…

Swish!

Evading the attack, Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed and looked at the girly young man behind him. That one strike might not have been that serious, but he could sense that the young man was already at Foundation Establishment Stage.

'He should be around the same age as me, right?'

How did he offend a genius so easily?

"What are you looking at?" the young man was furious.

"I'm just thinking that you're very powerful." Lin Xiao felt his brain would be hurt if he spoke with this unreasonable person. He didn't like being ambushed, but since he didn't want to fight, he would just finish this matter through speaking.

The young man narrowed his eyes. He grinned. "Of course, I, Song Hua, is the best!"

Song Hua? Flower?

(A/N: Hua meant flower)

Lin Xiao twitched his lips and didn't feel like speaking with this Song Hua anymore. How did his parents even pick his name in the past? Not only his appearance looked like a girl, but his name sounded like a girl's name.

He was utterly speechless.

"Yes, yes, you're a great person."

"Heh, you're the best! To think that there would be someone in the world that will acknowledge me as someone who's great. Do you know how many times I have to convince them that I, Song Hua, is the best cultivator amongst the younger generation? There are even several fights that I initiated because I want to prove them that I'm better than them.

Not only that, I also felt that you're good looking man. Hey, do you want to…"

Lin Xiao felt his mind turned blank when he heard how fast this man spoke. There didn't sound as if there was any full stop or comma when he was speaking. It was just like a bullet train that kept on going and going without any intention to stop.

He turned his head to the other three, but they had already walked away. Even though they still kept their distance not far from him, they clearly made sure that Lin Xiao couldn't involve them with this man.

"Yes, you're amazing. But can I…"

"There's no but. I'm absolutely amazing and I can certainly prove it to you, Mister. Oh wait, I haven't heard your name?"

"I'm Xiao..."

"Alright, Mister Xiao, do you have communication jade? When you want to listen more to my stories, please contact me and I will…."

It took some time before Lin Xiao managed to brush Song Hua off. He felt sweat pouring on his back. Just how bad was his luck was to meet someone who was so beautiful yet talkative?

"Brother, taste this." Lin Yun handed a stick with meat at the edge.

"What's this?"

"Meat from beast Rank 4."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard that. While they had already eaten a lot of meat from beasts rank 2 or 3 during their journey and missions before, they had never eaten meat from beast rank 4. The higher the rank of the beast, the more nutrition and Qi would they got.

There were many stories about how ordinary people could advance in rank because they ate meat from higher ranked beasts. After all, the meat also contained a considerable amount of Qi inside.

"Tasty." Lin Xiao took the meat and ate it. There was not much difference in the taste, but the richness of Qi was very visible. Even meat from beast rank 3 couldn't compare to this.

"Where do you find it?"

"There are some people who are selling over there."

While Long Yin Forest was large and still called as forests, Lin Xiao finally realized that there were houses here. The houses were made of woods and there were people living there. The people also sold some items in small stalls that were placed not far from their houses.

One of them sold meat, some others sold armors, and some others sold weapons.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed as he looked at the people who were living in the village. For some reasons, he felt that the test for them to enter the academy had already started from the moment they came here.

"Let's go take a look at the things they sell."

"Hmm? What do you want to buy, Brother?"

Wenren Yu and Sui Wenyan was also busy munching their portion of meat that they bought when Lin Xiao was busy dealing with Song Hua.

"Something that can help us pass this place," Lin Xiao replied with a grin.

"HUH?"
