Chapter 170: Interlude
There was a loud bang, and a figure flew out of the smoke and dust in the sky and fell to the ground, the figure struggled to get up from the ground, but in the end it failed, gasping for breath in his mouth, and raised his hand to signal that he would admit defeat.
Xiao Lin, who was full of embarrassment, walked out of the smoke and dust, holding a tattered wooden sword in his hand, looking at the figure lying on the ground in front of him, he was also panting heavily, the clothes on his body were all torn, and there were many scars.
Su He stood aside and applauded, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, in two months, I can already defeat the fifth ability, which is much faster than I imagined." β
Xiao Lin sat on the ground with his buttocks, his chest rising and falling fiercely: "I'm tired." β
Since learning about the conditions given by the throne, Xiao Lin has been training for two months unconsciously, living a miserable life every day, and Su He is personally supervising on the side, so he really doesn't give him a chance to be lazy.
Although the days are painful and desperate, the effect is still obvious, even if it is only after just two months, you can still see obvious changes from Xiao Lin, the whole person looks stronger, and the muscle lines on the arms are more obvious than before.
Although it still looks a little thin, you can feel a sharp force in the slightly thin body.
Not only the physical changes, but Xiao Lin's progress in kendo and elements is also very obvious, and he has entered the threshold of level eight in all indicators, and has officially become an level eight ability.
In about half a year, he was promoted from level nine to level eight, and this improvement speed was quite impressive even within the scope of the entire Tianxiang Empire, and he was the first student to cross the threshold of level eight among all the students of this Black Court Branch.
The current Xiao Lin was undoubtedly the strongest among all the students in the branch, and he was indeed surprised to find that since the news of his entry into the eighth level not long ago spread throughout the branch, the students who often provoked him no longer dared to make a mistake.
Even if they see each other occasionally, everyone will squeeze out a flattering smile on their faces, shouting at him and asking for warmth, which makes Xiao Lin get goosebumps every time. γ~#ABC ~~Better and fasterγ
The longer Xiao Lin stays in the dark court, the more he can deeply feel that strength is the last word no matter where he is, and whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak.
Just as no student dares to provoke him now, if his strength can reach the level of a general, or even higher, the chief judge and Xiao Ce will not dare to do anything to him casually when they are in the Forest of Powerful Ghosts, in the final analysis, his strength is not enough.
Oh, no, Xiao Lin suddenly reacted, there was still one student who dared to provoke him, and that was Linglong. There has been no good way for this aunt Xiao Lin, and he has been led by the nose by this girl, and sometimes he is very distressed, but he has no way, bear with it.
"Hurry up and pack up, we're getting ready to go into town. Su He said to Xiao Lin while fiddling with the communication compass in his hand.
"What's wrong with going to the imperial capital?" Xiao Lin was stunned, why did he suddenly have to run to the imperial capital,
He is so tired that he has to move his fingers hard, and he even has to travel a long way to the imperial capital, "Can't you change the day?"
"No, you can't. Sukh said lightly, "And you'd better hurry, it's important." β
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Lin asked as he struggled to get up.
"I'm explaining to you on the way, hurry up. Sukh urged vigorously.
"Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Lin replied with a roll of his eyes, muttering, "What's the hurry." He limped towards his room, ready to wash and change.
After some time, Xiao Lin and Su He stood on the bow deck of the transport ship and hurried towards the imperial capital.
"Now you can tell me what the hell is going on, in such a hurry. Xiao Lin rubbed his sore muscles as he spoke, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"The World Conference is getting closer and closer, and today the first delegation from the rest of the countries has arrived in the Tianxiang Empire. Sukh whispered, "The throne has sent me a message, asking me to bring you along to have a look." β
"Which country, why did you deliberately bring me?" Xiao Lin asked with some puzzlement, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Su He glanced at Xiao Lin with deep meaning in his eyes, and said softly, "The Jialan Empire has arrived. β
"Oh, got it. Xiao Lin said lightly, acting very casually, as if he didn't care about the arrival of the Jialan delegation at all.
Su He has been observing Xiao Lin's reaction, although this kid has been well restrained, but he still caught a slight change, when he heard the word "Jia Lan", Xiao Lin's brows quickly wrinkled, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Su He didn't continue to dwell on this matter, and said quietly: "With the delegation, naturally there are also the teenagers of the Garan Empire who participated in the martial arts competition this time, and the throne requires you to fight with one of them at that time, and you must win!"
"What happens if I lose?" Xiao Lin asked.
"The previous agreement on the talent camp is null and void. Sukh whispered, "Don't disgrace me. β
Xiao Lin turned around and walked towards his room without looking back, Su He looked at Xiao Lin's departing back in astonishment and asked, "Why are you going?"
"Sleep and rest. Xiao Lin replied angrily, "I just finished a fight with someone else, and now you tell me that there is a second game, I have to replenish my strength." With that, he walked away briskly, slamming his door shut.
Su He touched his nose a little embarrassed, and what he said was that let Xiao Lin, who had just completed the training task, go to compete with other imperial teenagers immediately, this request was indeed excessive, but this was an order from the throne, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he had to bite the bullet.
When subordinates are sometimes involuntarily, the leader has spoken, what can you do, you have to do a good job if you play with your life, or you don't want this job, save time and be ashamed.
Although there is a considerable distance between the imperial capital and the Black Court branch where Xiao Lin is located
, but under the high-speed driving of the transport ship, it didn't take long for the majestic imperial capital of the Tianxiang Empire to reappear in front again.
The Black Court Transport Ship landed directly on the tarmac not far in front of the Throne Palace, and Xiao Lin followed Su He towards the Throne Reception Room, which was a special meeting room for the Tianxiang Empire to meet foreign friends, and whenever there were other countries visiting the first stop, they would usually go there.
Although it was not the first time he had come, Xiao Lin would still be shocked by the huge throne palace in front of him, he looked at the behemoth in front of him in a daze, and he couldn't move his legs for a while.
"What are you doing, hurry up. Standing in the distance, Sukh urged, "The throne is still waiting." β
Xiao Lin came back to his senses at this time, trotted towards Su He, and the two of them, one big and one young, walked into the throne palace, went around for a long time, and finally came to the door of the throne reception room.
Xiao Lin looked at the black-gold door, and a nervousness suddenly surged in his heart, and he swallowed hard.
Two guards with hideous masks stood guard at the door, and Suhe stepped forward and whispered a few words, one of the guards took two masks from his bosom and handed them to Suhe.
"Bring it on. Su He handed one of the masks to Xiao Lin and commanded.
"What is this?" Xiao Lin took it and found that it was a clown-like mask with a grim smile painted on his face.
"This is a mask representing the Throne Guard. Sukh explained softly, "We don't show our true faces, but we appear as personal guards, and you don't have to say anything after you go in, you can do whatever you want, understand?"
Xiao Lin nodded, and then put on the mask, without showing his face, so that his hanging heart also fell silently, and then he followed Su He into the throne reception room.
The reception room is very spacious, in the middle is a huge conference table, Xiao Lin just swept it quickly, roughly estimated that this table can sit nearly fifty people, and on the right side of the conference table is the leisure area, where there are high-end leather sofas, rosewood coffee tables and tea sets, there are wine cabinets and bookcases on both sides, and not far away is a small table, at this time there are two piano girls playing the guqin.
The throne was sitting on the main seat of the sofa and smiling and drinking tea, when he saw Suhe and the others enter, nodded imperceptibly, and motioned for them to stand behind him with his eyes.
Xiao Lin lowered his head, swept down the other side with the corner of his eye, and on the sofa on the other side sat a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, his temples were a little white, wearing a blue and white robe, and behind the man stood a pair of men and women, who did not look very old, and they were similar to Xiao Lin, they should be the contestants participating in the martial arts competition.
"The contestant picked by Lord Throne has arrived?" the middle-aged man said with a chuckle as he looked at Su He and Xiao Lin behind the throne.
The throne smiled, "Is my brother in such a hurry to start the competition?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that our princess is bored and wants to find it."
Have some fun. β
The delicate-faced girl grimaced at the middle-aged man, and said in a crisp voice, "I didn't say anything, you made it up." β
"Ahem. The young man on the side coughed twice, reminding the girl to pay attention to the proportions of her speech.
"What's wrong?" the girl immediately glared at the boy with her hands on her hips, her temper quite hot, "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing. The boy was obviously a little afraid of the girl, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Alright, in front of the throne, you two will pause for a while. The middle-aged man said with a little headache, these two little ancestors really didn't worry about him at all, "The child is not sensible, don't take it to heart." β
The throne smiled and waved his hand, signaling that this was a trivial matter and didn't need to be too concerned, he looked at the girl behind the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Since the little princess can't wait, then let's start, please move." β
Everyone followed the throne out of the reception room and walked towards the training ground of the throne palace, Xiao Lin walked at the back intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes kept sweeping back and forth over the girl and the boy, his eyes were dancing with dark flames, and the flames were burning with killing, blood, and hatred.
