From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

After the hotpot dinner was over, Lin Fan sat on his bed and took stock.

He still had some Blood and Qi Restoration Pills left.

With around three hundred and twenty contribution points left, it was enough for him to sustain his cultivation for a while.

What he needed now was to get stronger.

After the duel with the Dark Envoy and Dark Lord, he knew how far he was from the top.

When he learned about how the net Han Dang used had sucked up half of the Dark Envoy’s Qi, he knew he had to get artifacts that were as good to make him more powerful.

But first.

Lin Fan summoned the system’s information panel in his mind.

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 2/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]

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

[Current Vengeance Points: 1160]

After seeing that he was a few hundred points away from the next level upgrade, he thought about upgrading the beast abilities first.

"How many points do I need to upgrade the Earth Breaker Salamander Ability?" he thought to himself silently.

[Upgrade Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Points Required: 3000]

What?

Lin Fan wasn’t pleased when he saw how much it needed.

It seemed like he had to focus on his cultivation for the time being.

He would have to wait until his next mission to earn more vengeance points.

With that in mind, he went to bed and waited eagerly for the next day, when he would meet Zhang Yi Nian for his cultivation training.

...

Next day.

Physique Peak.

In the main hall, Zhang Yi Nian was seated in his seat, and in front of him were boxes of gifts he had prepared for Lin Fan.

"Good morning, Peak Lord," Lin Fan said and bowed after he entered the main hall.

"Peak Lord? Call me master," Zhang Yi Nian corrected Lin Fan.

Lin Fan quickly followed up and said, "Yes, master."

Zhang Yi Nian nodded and gestured with his hand, pointing at the boxes in front of him.

"These are the gifts for you for becoming my core disciple."

"Thank you, master," Lin Fan said with appreciation.

"Father! I didn’t even get any presents from you for my birthday!"

Zhang Xi came in fuming when she saw the gifts Zhang Yi Nian gave Lin Fan.

"Xi er, I taught you to call me Peak Lord in front of others."

"But he—"

"All right. I’ll make it up to you with your present tomorrow," Zhang Yi Nian shook his head and said.

Zhang Xi nodded and kept quiet.

She wondered how her father would feel if she told him how many contribution points Lin Fan had.

The thought of it was enough for her to forgive her father.

Lin Fan quickly came forward and kept the boxes in his toad statue.

When he was done, Zhang Yi Nian started to teach Lin Fan his cultivation routine.

This time there were blocks of ice and pits of fire waiting for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan would have to get into the fire, using his Qi to make his skin tough and protect himself.

When he couldn’t take it anymore, he had to sit on the blocks of ice.

Using his Qi again to fortify his skin and deflect the cold out of his body.

After Lin Fan went into the fire pit, Zhang Yi Nian lit an incense to time how long Lin Fan stayed in it.

His own record was half an incense when he started out.

Lin Fan directed his Qi to his skin as the fire started to burn and gave him a stinging sensation of pain.

When his Qi was nearly depleted, he quickly activated his Primordial Earth Bastion ability.

Using his energy and letting his Qi slowly replenish.

This went on for a few cycles, and Zhang Yi Nian watched as the incense burned lower and lower.

When it crossed the halfway point, Lin Fan was still in the fire pit.

Lin Fan had broken Zhang Yi Nian’s record on his first try.

Zhang Yi Nian watched intensely, getting ready to get Lin Fan out if needed.

He wasn’t sure if Lin Fan was stretching it to prove a point to him.

"These young cultivators can be rash at times," Zhang Yi Nian thought.

He began to understand why Sun Hai kept telling him not to let Lin Fan get over his head.

Unknown to him, it was routine for Lin Fan.

Alternating between his Qi and his Primordial Earth Bastion ability.

Zhang Yi Nian looked on, and when the incense was fully burned till the end, Lin Fan stood up and got out of the fire pit.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan quickly went and sat on the block of ice.

The initial cold helped Lin Fan relieve his pain from the heat that he had to endure.

But as time went on, the chills began to feel different.

It felt like razors cutting at his skin.

Lin Fan quickly directed more of his Qi to deflect the cold.

And soon began alternating with the Primordial Earth Bastion again.

This time Zhang Yi Nian didn’t bother to light another incense.

He had seen enough to be convinced of Lin Fan’s potential.

The Physique Peak had gotten themselves a prodigy.

Zhang Yi Nian vowed to let Lin Fan have all the resources he needed.

And protect him from any danger.

Finally, Lin Fan had exhausted all his Qi and energy.

He got out of the ice and sat down due to the exhaustion.

"Master, how did I do?" Lin Fan asked as he was recuperating.

"You’ve done well! I have high hopes for you. I will arrange for the pills you need every day and get them delivered to you."

Zhang Yi Nian said as he nodded and looked approvingly at Lin Fan.

...

Northern borders of Quan Dynasty.

Bei Dian Castle.

An old man wearing a general’s armor was sitting in his seat, covered with tiger’s fur.

He was reading a letter, and the veins in his hands showed as he read on.

The letter was about what had happened in the Late Spring Hunt.

The old man’s plan with Dark Lotus Sect had failed.

Tan Xiao Yao slowly put down the letter onto the table in front of him.

"If it’s war you seek, I shall be waiting here, Your Majesty."
