Chapter 178: Fight!
Chapter 178: Fight!
Fight?
Instantly, everyone was looking at each other with menace. To think they would be able to fight in the academy after a while. It seemed that able to get the rooms at the highest floor must be the most powerful one.
Now, the tension grew tenser and everyone was watching each other, waiting for someone to make a move.
"Once you have picked a room, just insert your Qi into the door and it’ll change color. You can only change room by having the previous owner insert their Qi again and change it back before you can insert your own Qi. When you change room, all of your items there will be thrown out if you hadn’t taken them all. Alright, you may go now."
Wenren Yu looked at Lin Xiao. "There are a total of five floors in this building. Which floor do you want us to take?"
"Third."
Lin Xiao knew very well that each floor only accommodated 30 people except for the first floor when the dean gave them the building’s plan. There were a total of 156 new students here and aside from 120 who would be able to occupy the second to the fifth floor, the rest have to stay in the first floor.
Most of the cultivators here, at least around half of them, were already at Foundation Establishment. While Lin Xiao had the confidence to fight against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he didn’t know the extent of everyone’s power yet.
So, it would be better to start from the middle.
"Ok."
They began to climb up, following some other students who climbed. Most of those who climbed to the next floor were those with cultivation at least Body Training Rank 10. Those lower than that would have to stay at the first floor unwillingly. After all, they didn’t have the confidence to beat those at higher cultivation stage.
Each cultivation stage meant improvement in some point. Body Training Rank 10 have improvement in overall strength, which was why it usually took a long time for one to advance to that rank. And Foundation Establishment was even more so, which made it impossible for them to fight those at higher rank without proper preparation.
They were all still strangers to each other.
"Xiao, which floor do you want to take?" Song Hua asked when they stopped at the third floor. He curiously followed Lin Xiao’s group.
Lin Xiao passed a glance at Song Hua, surprised that this talkative man could speak normally. "We’re taking the third floor."
"Huh, third? Why don’t you aim higher?"
"This is enough for now."
Sensing the Qi in the air, Lin Xiao knew that he would need to train his skills more than absorbing the Qi in the air and circulate it inside his body. Since that was the case, the dense Qi in the third floor was already more than enough.
Besides, he didn’t want to engage in so many needless fight.
"In that case, I’ll be going first!"
Song Hua returned back to the stairs and climbed up again.
The third floor also had a lot of people but it was still more than enough for them to fill each room first. The fight would only start once those geniuses failed to occupy the highest floor and only those who knew that they were weaker would pick the lower floor unwillingly.
"Let’s pick this one."
"Ok."
With Lin Xiao picking a room in the center, Lin Yun, Wenren Yu, and Sui Wenyan picked the room opposite and beside Lin Xiao. Since they came here first, there was still a lot of empty room and it was easy for them to arrange it like that.
By inserting their Qi, the door changed color to dark from white. It meant that the room was occupied.
"Hmm."
Entering the room, Lin Xiao noticed that it was a standard room with one bed, table, bookshelf, chair and also a door towards bathroom. It was only around 4x4 meters, not enough for them to move around but for resting, it was plenty.
’Let’s practice while waiting.’
Lin Xiao sat down on his bed and began to practice. Internally, Lin Hu was observing Lin Xiao’s progress and nodded his head in satisfaction. This room was good enough for the current Lin Xiao but once he advanced to Foundation Establishment, he would need the fourth or the fifth room for best improvement.
Well, that was for later.
The brat still needed to progress in his skill first before advancing to the next stage.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the door, his mouth curled up to form a sneer. It seemed that those who wanted to take the room had already come. He alighted from the bed and walked leisurely to the door. Opening the door, he saw a Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood before him.
"Move!"
"And if I say no?"
"Then die!"
Swish!
The young man had dark face and it seemed that he was in bad mood. It seemed that his attempt to take the rooms in the fourth floor ended in failure, thus he had to come here and search for an empty room.
Unfortunately, he came too late, so he could only try his luck by challenging the people in the other rooms.
Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. Before the man’s strike landed, he had already punched.
Mountain Punch!
Bang!
The man was thrown to the back, crashing onto the opposite wall. Thankfully, the building’s structure was solid enough to withstand the impact from these youth’s battle. If not, the building would have long crumbled because there were a lot of people who were fighting.
*cough* *cough*
The young man was stunned and looked at Lin Xiao in horror. He was sure that the opponent before him was only Body Training Rank 10. How come he’s this strong?
On the other hand, Lin Xiao was merely looking at the young man and thought about Sui Wenyan. Did Foundation Establishment Cultivator this weak?
