From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Another sound then erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Accept Earth Breaker Salamander Abilities? Y/N]

[Tectonic Resilience – Withstand Attacks Up till Core Formation Level.]

[Quake Stomp – Stomp the Ground, Creating Local Earthquake, Destabilizing Enemies.]

[Regenerative Trait – Regenerate Tissues, Even Grow Back Limbs.]

Lin Fan didn't hesitate and said yes in his mind.

He had been waiting for this moment for so long.

The familiar sound erupted in his mind again.

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Ability Level: 1/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 1/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 1/3]

[Current Physique Level: 5 (1600 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Point: 960]

Lin Fan saw the level for the ability and thought in his mind, how do I level up the beast abilities.

The system replied:

[Ding!]

[Level up for abilities costs 500 vengeance points.]

Lin Fan saw the requirement of 500 vengeance points and pondered.

He could go with it or save it up to level up his physique next.

He can decide after the next mission, he thought.

With the absorbing of beast ability done, Lin Fan turned the body of the Salamander over, exposing its belly.

Lin Fan then used the Yang Smash and burst the belly open.

Soon after, he dug around for the demonic beast core.

He would need it when he tries to break forth to the next cultivation level.

At Qi Concentration Stage Nine, he was on the verge of it.

"Damn!"

Lin Fan cursed out as he tried to yank the demonic beast core out.

He had to use his leg to step against the Salamander's body to have more force on it.

"Three…Two…One…", after his countdown and one huge pull, he finally managed to yank out the demonic beast core.

It was as big as his fist and brown colored in the tint of burnt sienna.

He could see a faint glow in the shape of a Salamander within it.

With that, he went back to the village.

Before entering, he washed up at the well, just as he did when he was still starting out.

When he was back at his house, it was already lunch time.

"You are back. Lunch is ready.", Mei Fong said when he saw Lin Fan.

"Where have you been?", Uncle Liu asked, thinking he could help if Lin Fan wanted to deal with the demonic beast in the woods.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I'm done killing off the demonic beast. The other animals shall return very soon."

Mei Fong froze with the plates of meat and vegetables in her hands.

Same thing with Uncle Liu, he couldn't believe his ears when he heard it. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"You what? That's like one morning. And I thought it would take some time."

Uncle Liu exclaimed excitedly.

He knew Lin Fan was doing well as a cultivator, but didn't expect him to be doing so well.

"Mei Fong, kill the fat chicken. I think this calls for a celebration."

"Yeah daddy! I haven't had chicken for ages."

Uncle Liu couldn't contain his joy and wanted to celebrate with a meal of roasted chicken.

With the plates on her hands, Mei Fong quickly put them down on the table and went to catch the chicken at their place.

"Wait for me Lin Fan, save some of your stomach for the chicken.", Mei Fong shouted as she left.

Lin Fan couldn't say no to all the hospitality.

The roasted chicken was well worth the wait.

Mei Fong had roasted it to its best.

The skin was crispy and oily, with slightly charred burns on the side.

Giving it another dimension to its texture.

Liu Han was sucking his fingers when he was done.

Savoring every last bit of the chicken.

….

After the lunch, it was time for Lin Fan and Ho Ming to go.

When Ho Ming came over, he reeked with the smell of alcohol.

Lin Fan shook his head as it was a necessary price to pay for the Ho Family.

Trying to leapfrog to the next level required support from many people.

They wouldn't take the bet if they didn't know who they are betting on.

Luckily, Ho Ming with his Double Sword Cultivation Root had given them much confidence.

It took them only half a day to get back to the sect with their pace.

The sect seemed to be buzzing with excitement when they returned.

"Why is everyone so excited?", Lin Fan asked one of the disciples running around.

The disciple looked at Lin Fan as if they were country bumpkins, "Didn't you hear? There's a special mission being listed; the reward is three hundred contribution points and manuscript of your choice in the library."

Lin Fan was immediately interested, especially with the manuscript.

His Ying Yang Hammer Style gets the job done, but there might be something better.

He and Ho Ming went over to the Mission Hall to check it out.

The mission hall was more crowded than usual.

Everyone was checking out the special mission on the mission wall.

Lin Fan pushed to the front and looked at the mission slab.

"Capture Lu Di? That shouldn't be a problem.", Lin Fan said to himself as he read the description of the mission slab.

His previous encounter was close, and that was him with only level 4 physique.

He should be able to take her down comfortably now with his level 5 physique.

"Not a problem?"

The disciples standing beside Lin Fan heard him and looked at him.

He wanted to lash out on what a snob Lin Fan was.

But he bit his tongue and kept quiet when he recognized Lin Fan.

Lin Fan and Ho Ming were the only junior disciples that went all the way in the previous mission.

Under the watching eyes of all the disciples, Lin Fan took the mission slab down from the wall and walked over to the disciple at the counter.

The disciple took the mission slab, and said, "You have to pass through a qualification test before you can take this mission."

"Qualification test?"

"Yes, fight senior martial brother Hun Yen Kun. If you can beat him, you can take the mission."

"Where and when do I do that?" Lin Fan asked.

The disciple looked up and pointed out at the door, and said, "That man standing under the tree, he is senior martial brother Hun Yen Kun. I must warn you though, he is Core Formation Level."

Lin Fan looked outside, and Hun Yen Kun was standing under a tree, with a fan in his hand, looking up at the flowering tree.

All the disciples got excited at the prospect of a fight.

They streamed out of the Mission Hall and got ready for the spectacle that was to come.
