Chapter 115: Watching the Performance (3)

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. For a moment he thought about what Wenren Yu said as his eyes narrowed. If he was not wrong, there was also one more method that he knew many other cultivators used when they had started to reach Foundation Establishment.

Elemental attack.

It was not impossible to manipulate element in the world along with the Qi to achieve the attack they wanted. However, not everyone was blessed with innate talent for certain element, making it impossible for them to do it even if they wanted to.

Lin Xiao himself didn’t know if he was suited for any element. But thinking about the dragon inside his body, he might have some good affinity with water since lake consisted of water.

Wenren Yu looked at Lin Yun and nudged the other party too.

"Huh?" Lin Yun looked like he just woke up from sleep. Wenren Yu generously explained what had happened and Lin Yun broke into cold sweat. Luckily it was nothing more than a performance. If Sui Wenyan truly wanted to attack them, it would be impossible for him to break free and escape unscathed.

"It’s quite scary."

Lin Xiao nodded. He had to admit that just by watching the performance, he had gained some insight about how cultivators worked. As their rank grew higher, they would encounter more bizarre attacks.

They have to prepare themselves.

His eyes moved to the nobles that were sitting at the front. Aside from the young man before, he saw someone who was also at his teenage age sitting beside the old man. Based on the young man’s behavior and aura, Lin Xiao felt a bit threatened as if he was facing someone very powerful.

Wenren Yu followed Lin Xiao’s gaze and narrowed his eyes. "It’s His Highness Prince Lin Kai, one of the top contenders for the throne."

"Eh?"

Seeing the confusion within Lin Xiao’s eyes, Wenren Yu felt extremely helpless. "Don’t you know that there are several people who are at the top list to become the Emperor? There are no crown prince yet, but there are a few youngsters who are nominated to become the next Emperor because they’re powerful."

As he was speaking, Wenren Yu’s gaze landed on Lin Kai once more. There was a faint glint within his eyes. "His Highness Prince Lin Kai is one of them. In total, there are 3 others except him that are of the same age and contending for the throne."

Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. If he was not wrong, there are 87 princes, right? Why are there only four who contends for the throne?

Wenren Yu seemed to be able to know what Lin Xiao was thinking as he continued, "More than half of the princes are already advanced in age and a quarter of them have too little connection. To become a contender, one need to be able to have certain level of their ancestor’s blood. Those without enough level wouldn’t be able to become the Emperor."

"Why?"

"Because their talent will be very weak and might not even reach Foundation Establishment in their entire life."

For a moment, Lin Xiao felt his body turned cold. While he knew that talent would influence someone’s cultivation’s path, he wanted to believe that it was also possible to change their fate. After all, they all cultivate because they wished to break their current rank and reached higher stage.

"Are you thinking that it’s easy to change one’s talent?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao focused his attention to Wenren Yu and could see the sad smile on Wenren Yu’s face. "My master is also fixated to change his talent. He had low talent, which limited his cultivation to Foundation Establishment. No matter how much he trained, he could never advance. However, even after decades of research, he failed to increase his talent."

The sad tone sounded unusual in Wenren Yu’s voice that Lin Xiao found himself unable to say anything. He could only pat Wenren Yu’s shoulder as if telling that it was fine before he turned his attention to the front once more.

Many people wished to become stronger and stronger. But the Heaven was not kind enough to let them all got what they want. Most of them would be nothing more than cannon fodder as they were unable to reach the peak.

Some gave up and pursued different things in their lives.

Some others continued to fight against fate and tried hard to become even stronger. Only the strong had voice to speak in this man eat man world. If they were not strong enough, they would have to adapt their lives to their condition.

Living low.

Being bullied.

Lin Xiao’s eyes turned red when he recalled how much he was bullied in the past just because he was adopted. He didn’t like the differentiation that the children had to experience at all. If only it was possible, he wished to make a different world for the children so that no one would be like him.

Swish!

The Qi in the air moved swiftly and Lin Hu straightened his body. He looked at Lin Xiao in amazement because he knew that in this short period of time, Lin Xiao was gaining enlightenment.

’Just what did this brat eat in his life to gain enlightenment so easily?’

What was inside Lin Xiao’s mind right now was simply his desire to grow strong and also the fact that he didn’t want to be tied down by fate. All this time, he had never thought about it because he was used to just accept what was given to him.

But now, he knew that his current speed was no longer enough.

Faster, stronger.

He wanted to change the world as fast as possible and sat in his rightful throne as the next Emperor to change the face of the kingdom. That way, he would be able to change the way the education for children and allowed them to live well.

"This..." Wenren Yu was stunned and saw the Qi in the air moved rapidly.
