Chapter 58: Secret Passage (1/2)

”Lin Xiao?!” Wenren Yu heard sounds and quickly opened his eyes. He was stunned when he saw Lin Xiao was on the verge of fainting, but immediately sensed the thick and rich Qi surrounding the lake. While a large amount of Qi was beneficial for them, but increasing the density more than 100 times instantly was dangerous.

They were unable to breath properly.

”Meditate!”

Lin Xiao quickly focused his attention to his body and entered deep state of meditation. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he cursed himself internally. He couldn't believe that entering a place with rich Qi like this actually had drawbacks.

Didn't people always say that if they entered the place with rich Qi, they could train faster and advance faster?

Lies! It was all lies!

Rounds of curses already filled Lin Xiao's mind and it was only after some time did he feel that the density decreased slightly to the level where he could breathe properly. Sensing the Qi inside his body, Lin Xiao was astonished.

He would be able to reach Body Training Rank 7 soon!

The Qi helped him to strengthen his bones and flesh. Aside from the painful process where he felt that he was about to suffocate, everything else felt like a dream. Right now, Lin Xiao wouldn't mind even if he had to train in that condition as long as he could advance faster.

Turning his head to Wenren Yu, Lin Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of their socket. He could see that Wenren Yu had already broken through to rank 8. There was no sound and breaking through during body training stage didn't really attract anyone's attention except if they were nearby.

Wenren Yu opened his eyes and looked at his hand. Afterwards, he saw Lin Xiao looking at him with sour expression. He laughed. ”I'm already at rank higher than you. It's not weird that I advance faster, right?”

”In that case, I'll train…”

”They're moving,”

Despite wanting to train more, Lin Xiao's eyes automatically landed on the three elders. Their faces were pale as they already retreated back from the lake. By now, they already stood up and began to speak.

Strangely, this time, Lin Xiao and Wenren Yu could hear what they were talking about faintly.

”That damn lake! Why did it suddenly spew so much Qi? I was nearly crushed under such pressure!”

”It's already normal again,” Liu Gang said in disdainful tone. He looked at the haggard woman not far from him. ”You're usually very strong but this time, you cave in? How useless?”

The woman's eyes narrowed as Qi exploded from her body. As Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had much more Qi compared to those at body training stage. ”Do you dare to repeat it again?”

”Hoo, you want to have a bout?” Liu Gang was not afraid.

From afar, Lin Xiao and Wenren Yu felt as if they could understand why Luo Lan and Bai Xin couldn't cooperate with each other. If even their teachers were fighting against each other so openly, it wouldn't be weird if their disciples followed their footsteps.

The only difference was that Liu Gang and the woman wouldn't fight against each other if they were in front of others.

”The door is open. It wouldn't be for long.”

”In that case, we're going inside first. And I'll be the one who will get the Emperor Inheritance!”
