Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Lin Yaochen looked at Qin Jinghuai, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Your Highness the Third Prince, can you wait for me for a moment? I need to go back to my residence to pack my luggage, and then return with you." His voice was low and gentle, as if carrying a reassuring power.

Qin Jinghuai smiled and nodded, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and said: "Master Lin is going back with us, it is an honor. Then Master Lin, we will wait for you outside the imperial city." He secretly felt fortunate to be able to travel with the god-level alchemist Lin Yaochen. If he could make friends with Master Lin along the way, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his future development.

Lin Yaochen smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay." He then bowed slightly and turned to leave. Lin Ziyu and Long Yan also followed his steps, gradually walking away.

After their figures completely disappeared from sight, Lin Cheng said, "Third Prince, we are going back."

Qin Jinghuai nodded, a faint smile still on his lips, as if everything was under control. He turned around and returned to Chaoming Hall (the residence of the human race participating in the academy competition).

Inside the Sifang Pavilion, after Lin Ziyu and Long Yan accompanied Lin Yaochen to pack up his things, Lin Yaochen handed Lin Ziyu an ancient book and earnestly instructed him, "Ziyu, this book of alchemy is a summary of my years of experience. It records in detail the refining methods of various elixirs and my understanding of their medicinal properties. I hope it will be helpful to you. However, remember, although you have a good talent for alchemy, you must never neglect the cultivation of your spiritual power. Only when the two complement each other can you become a truly excellent pharmacist. Moreover, as the level of the elixir increases, the spiritual power required will also increase. Also, you must maintain a calm state of mind when refining the elixir, because any emotional fluctuations will affect the quality of the elixir. Finally, each elixir has its own unique medicinal properties. You must be familiar with and master them to better formulate high-quality elixirs."

Lin Ziyu took the alchemy experience and nodded solemnly, saying that he would definitely remember Lin Yaochen's teachings. He looked at Lin Yaochen with some reluctance and called out, "Fifth Grandpa..."

Lin Yaochen smiled and patted Lin Ziyu's head, "Good boy, we are just separated temporarily."

Long Yan patted Lin Ziyu on the shoulder and encouraged him to study hard. Then, they left Sifang Pavilion together and walked out of the imperial city.

"Brother Wolf...Brother Wolf..." Lu Lu Meng shouted while running, panting heavily, "I just saw all the human race participants heading out of the city. The line is really long!"

Lu Lumeng paused, taking deep breaths of fresh air, trying to calm herself. After a moment, she continued, "The Sea Tribe participants have also left."

At this time, Hu Haoyue suddenly said, "Did something happen? First the sea tribe left, then the human race withdrew. And just now someone from the Tianyi family came and called him back. It was said that it was because his father was injured. It seemed to be serious."

Lang Xiaoyi frowned, a puzzled expression on his face. He spoke anxiously, "I'm not quite sure what's going on. This situation doesn't seem right." He then turned his gaze to Long Qi, who was standing beside him. A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Your Highness Long Qi, do you know what's going on? Perhaps you could give us some clues or an explanation."

Long Qi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the situation either. But he quickly thought of someone—Big Brother Long Yan. So, he said, "I'm not sure exactly what happened, but we can go ask Big Brother Long Yan. He should know what happened and might be able to tell us more."

Hearing this proposal, Lang Xiaoyi and Hu Haoyue looked at each other, their eyes showing approval. They thought this was a good idea, and they could get more information about the current situation from Long Yan.

Afterwards, Lang Xiaoyi remembered something and turned to everyone and said, "Oh, by the way, we are going to go outside the city to see off our human friends who are coming to participate in the martial arts competition." As he spoke, he looked around and met everyone's gaze, as if asking for everyone's opinion, "Why don't we go outside the city together and see what the situation is outside." His eyes revealed an expectation, as if he hoped to get everyone's support.

The dozen or so people present who were also participating in the academy's martial arts competition nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay." "I agree." And so on...

Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, Long Qi and more than a dozen other orcs rushed to the outside of the imperial city together.

Outside the orc royal city, the trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

The departing human column parked neatly beside the road, like a long, winding dragon. They waited quietly, but the order to depart never arrived. Time ticked by, and after a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement. The atmosphere in the crowd grew tense, and everyone was whispering and discussing.

Someone bravely asked, "Captain Mo, I heard that the Sea Clan withdrew from the competition because an important member of their tribe passed away, and they had to go back to attend the funeral. What about us? Why are we withdrawing from the competition?"

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the speaker and Mo Wenxuan, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. They expected Mo Wenxuan to give an answer, but he simply glanced coldly at the questioner and the crowd observing, and replied in a calm tone, "Just follow the instructions."

Mo Wenxuan himself wasn't sure the specific reason, but as captain, he had to remain calm and commanding. He knew that discipline and obedience were needed at this moment, and any questions should be left for the appropriate time. However, when he sensed a familiar presence, his eyes involuntarily glanced behind him.

Seeing Lang Xiaoyi and his companions, who had just left the city, approaching them, Mo Wenxuan felt a surge of fighting spirit. He clenched his fists tightly, his muscles trembling slightly, as if suppressing his inner excitement. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, as if he couldn't wait to show down Lang Xiaoyi.

Lang Xiaoyi felt Mo Wenxuan's hostility, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile. He met Mo Wenxuan's gaze without fear.

As soon as Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue and others walked out of the city gate, they saw the human race lined up in neat rows.

Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, and Long Qi looked at each other and thought to themselves: It seems that something big is really going to happen, otherwise the human race and the sea race would not choose to withdraw from such an important competition and rush back.

With both the Human and Sea Tribes withdrawing from the competition, this year's Tri-Tribe Academy Martial Arts Competition had to end prematurely. This left Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, and the others feeling deeply regretful. They had originally hoped to use this competition to showcase their strength and compete with the other two tribes. However, the sudden decisions of the Human and Sea Tribes changed the entire situation, preventing them from fully displaying their talents.

Despite this, Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, and the others still found their former opponents and exchanged a few words with them. These brief conversations were filled with regret, but also expressed recognition of each other's strength.

Lang Xiaoyi said to Mo Wenxuan, "Mo Wenxuan, although I don't quite understand why you withdrew from the competition, if there is a chance, I really want to have another competition with you." His eyes revealed a determination and desire, as if declaring to Mo Wen that his fighting spirit has not been extinguished.

After hearing what Lang Xiaoyi said, Mo Wenxuan's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. He said, "Me too. Next time we meet, we must decide the winner!"

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

Lang Xiaoyi said loudly: "Okay, then let's look forward to our next meeting!"

At that moment, two carriages slowly emerged from the city. One was ornate, the other more modest. They drove side by side, eventually stopping next to the human group. Qin Jinghuai and Lin Cheng approached the carriages, and the occupants seemed to sense their arrival, their doors slowly opening.

A gentle yet majestic voice was heard: "Your Highness the Third Prince, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The speaker was Lin Yaochen, with a smile on his face and bright eyes.
