Chapter 149 - The Elders Take Notice Of Xiao Lin

Then the last person of the group that tried to attack Xiao Lin began to tremble in fear when Xiao Lin appeared before him.

He then said in a stuttering manner, "P-Please forgive me."

Xiao Lin only gave a cold smile when he heard that.

He then said, "Your transgressions cannot be forgiven."

Then before that person could say anything, Xiao Lin suddenly threw out his fist towards his chest.

Bang!

Immediately his fist struck the person's chest, he was immediately sent flying into the distance with blood beginning to spurt out of his mouth like a small fountain. Then when he crashed into the earth a moment later, his body tumbled across the ground for sometime before coming to a full halt.

Once Xiao Lin had taken care of these people that came to his cave to expel him, he prepared to go in.

But before he could do so, he heard the sounds of footsteps and hearts pounding in great excitement rushing towards him from afar.

And immediately Xiao Lin heard those, he produced an awry smile in his face.

He then said, "I guess that the boom sounds that rang out from the collision of our attacks have drawn their attention towards us. Ugh!"

Not long, a large number of people with expressions of excitement written all over their faces began to arrive before Xiao Lin in the distance. And once they saw Xiao Lin, they began to look around for his opponents.

"There. Look at them, they are on the floor" Someone suddenly said, pointing his hand in a particular direction.

And once this person did so, everyone quickly looked in that direction that he pointed at and saw about seven badly damaged bodies scattered here and there over the earth surface in this location.

"Damn. But this guy is ruthless" One said and looked at Xiao Lin with a shocked expression in his face.

"Yea, he couldn't even try to retract his punching power or lower the damaging power of the attacks that he sent out. He is just wicked." Another one unexpectedly said as he looked at Xiao Lin with his brows furrowed in both shock and perplexity.

However, just after that person said that, another who was looking at Xiao Lin with an awed expression in his face, immediately said "Guys, have you all forgotten about the fact that he took care of seven cultivators himself? If you have, do recall now. So, if he can take care of this number of cultivators himself, that goes to show that he is no ordinary rogue cultivator and that he is really powerful."

Then before anyone could say anything else or perform a gesture, that person that spoke just now continued with a terrified expression appearing in his face, "Damn! I hope anyone of us wouldn't have to face him in one of the trials that will take place when the elders from the sect come out to announce the start of trials for discipleship admission into the sect. And I am beginning to wonder if he wouldn't do us the way that he did those cultivators scattered here and there all over this area. Ugh! If that's the case, then we have to immediately surrender to him, or be thrown out of the discipleship exam ground with our bodies covered in frightening injuries"

But immediately that person said that, another one spoke, looking at the person that spoke just now with a disgusted expression in his face, "What? Who the heck is this moron? Are you really here for the exams, or you are here to bow in fear to some cultivator that knocked out seven useless and miserable cultivators? Huh?"

Once that person said that, everyone gathered there burst into laughter. While Xiao Lin only shook his head and prepared to go back into the cave that he dug out for himself to continue his comprehension before it was disrupted by those seven cultivators that came to disturb him.

However, as they were busy discussing about Xiao Lin with shocked and puzzled expressions in their faces, many elders from the Celestial Dragon Emperor sect whose attentions were also attracted to the battleground that immediately manifested between Xiao Lin and those seven cultivators, began to look at Xiao Lin with their brows deeply furrowed.

"Hmm. That boy is tough. And his punches are really hard. He must be a body cultivator" One of the elders in a large hall that many elders of different ranks could be seating on the ground in the cross-legged position to either cultivate or comprehend, said with an indifferent expression in his face.

"Yea, he may. However, even if he is, he is nowhere close to possessing the degree of toughness possessed by the bodies of our disciples. He is a only a show-off trying to be quickly popular amongst his fellow cultivators that are here to take the discipleship exams. And speaking of exams, I don't think he may really go far. He would be evicted in just the first phase of the trial" Another one immediately said.

However, another elder who didn't agree with what that elder just said, immediately spoke to counter what he said, "Nah. Don't reason like that elder Xi, that boy will do just fine in the exams. Besides, only as a rogue cultivator, he already possesses the strength to knock out seven cultivators on his own. That goes to show that the lad is really strong and powerful. Besides, it is really wrong of you to compare him to our disciples. They are on different levels. They are cultivators being trained by our magnificent instructors and have consumed the consummate cultivation resources that our sect provided them, while that lad is just a kid out there trying to survive and become stronger over time. Some of the disciples that we have now if they were just like him and they met somewhere to battle, they could be quickly taken care of by that boy. Then you people should watch, once that boy passes the trials and becomes admitted into the sect, he will quickly ascend in power and fame. It could be so rapid that you guys will be tremendously perplexed. Haha!"

Haha!

Immediately that elder said that, every other elder cultivating in the large hall called Hall of Elders, burst into grins.

One of them then said, "Hmm. You might be right, elder Wei. Anyway, let's see how far the boy can go when the exams start"

...

Xiao Lin who had gone back into the cave to continue his comprehension, began to have all sorts of thoughts run through his mind.

"Now that those bastards have caused me to engage in battle with them, thereby showing some of my abilities, the elders from the sect would have taken note of me. Basically everything that I tried to avoid has come back in my face to poke it. Ugh!" Xiao Lin said.

He then continued, "Well, I will try my best to absorb everything thrown at me by them, because by now, I am certain that they will pay more attention to me than the others"

And once Xiao Lin thought all these, he closed his eyes to resume his comprehension.

While Xiao Lin was focusing on his comprehension, the people that hurried down to where he was to watch the battle taking place between him and those seven that he wickedly knocked unconscious, frowned their brows when Xiao Lin just walked away on them like they were nothing.

"That guy... What's fe feeling like?" One asked and then shook his head in displease.

"Well, he is feeling himself. And it's all our fault. Now, we have unintentionally made him feel that he is a superstar by rushing down here and discussing about him more than the sect." Another person said.

He then continued, "Well, you guys can stay here to continue feeling him. As for me, I am out of here. We shall meet at the examination ground. And I hope that he is good and strong as you all think"

Immediately that person said that, he turned around and walked away, heading back to the place where the sect's massive golden gate was. And as he did so, many other people also turned around and began to walk behind him back to the sect's gate to await the announcement of the exams by the examination-conducting elders.

Why those that still remained there, began to think of a place to stay till the day that the elders from the sect will announce the start of the discipleship examination.

"Should we go meet that guy and beg him to allow us to stay for the night? Then that we would move out the next day to go find a place that we would stay?" One of the people still gathered here said in a whispering tone to a cultivator that he just made friends with in this place.

"What? Go meet that ruthless tyrannical guy and beg him to stay with him for the night? Haha! We wouldn't want to do that. Let's go try to make our own cave. Just a shallow one will do for the night.. Then we can deepen it the next day by sunrise" One of them said and then walked away to go find an area at the foot of one of the numerous mountains here that was a bit weak so that he could make a cave in it with his power.
