Chapter 172: The End of the Third Test (1/2)

While Lin Xiao was pondering, he noticed a familiar figure from the side and his lips twitched. Time to run from that chatterbox.

Turning around in the opposite direction, Lin Xiao dragged the others to follow him. He didn't have the slightest intention to accompany Song Hua in the latter's talkative spree and ended up having to listen to everything he said.

It was already more than enough.

Thankfully, he was not the only person Song Hua knew so Lin Xiao managed to escape by moving to another side of the room. The place was large and there were only a few people inside, which was increasing as time passed.

Lin Xiao looked around and noticed that the hall was bigger and when he was looking at the wall, he finally realized that there were a lot of engraving on the wall. There was faint Qi movement that one could sense and each of the engraving didn't seem to be made without any preparation beforehand.

It looked profound.

'Every engraving here will contain the ability to harness the Qi in the world,' Lin Hu interrupted Lin Xiao before the latter fell into deep contemplation. 'There's no use even if you stare at them for a long period of time without understanding the basic. Besides, your talent in comprehending runes and also the use of it is very low.'

Lin Xiao was speechless.

'I haven't even tried to train in it and you already say that my talent and comprehension in low?'

'Trust me, if you have any talent in it, you would have already known the use of the engraving at the wall. Since you only feel some curiosity towards it, it just shows that you don't have the affinity with it.'

At this point, Lin Xiao was resisting the urge to throw Lin Hu away. He hadn't even tried anything yet he was already regarded as someone with low talent. It thoroughly annoy him that this dragon simply disregarded his talent.

Hmph!

Lin Hu shook his head inside Lin Xiao's consciousness. Another reason why he knew that Lin Xiao didn't have the talent was because of the influence of the Dragon Blood. Since they already have their own language, the world restricted them from using the world means to understand the way the Qi work using the runes that humans created.

After all, it could be categorized as another language. And since dragons were already too powerful, they were not allowed to learn the runes in the slightest bit to make sure that their power would not be over the top.

But he didn't have the plan to tell Lin Xiao about this.

At least, not now.

”The third stage is now over. The next test is for you to climb the stairs and reach the room above. As long as you can reach the room above, you'll be accepted as Sun Dragon Academy's disciple!”

Huh? Only walking up the stairs?

The people inside the rooms were all stunned. The stairs looked very normal and ordinary to the point that it didn't pose any challenge. But for it to be the test, they knew that the test must be something abnormal just like what the other tests were. Hence, not a single one of them dared to slack off.

Lin Xiao saw the guard walked away, but the geniuses near the stairs were hesitant. They didn't want to be the cannon fodder to test the stairs. After all, every genius had their own pride and they certainly wouldn't want to allow themselves be used by other people.

”Who want to try first?”
