From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

When the two reptiles were lying on the ground motionless, the rest of the team immediately let out a huge sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

"Let us recuperate first."

This time it was Hu Tuo who spoke up.

Lin Fan nodded as he went about his business of getting the demonic beast core out of the reptiles.

He first slit the golden reptile’s belly open and dug into the innards.

Beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead as he dug around.

Finally, he grasped onto something hard, and he had to use both his hands to pull it out.

The demonic beast core was metallic in appearance and glowed with a golden color.

A reptile’s silhouette could be seen in it.

Lin Fan proceeded to the next one as the others were sitting in lotus position regaining their Qi.

He also sat and let his Qi recover.

To his surprise, the Qi in the pagoda tower was twice as much as outside the secret realm.

Not wanting to waste it, he started to cycle his Qi through his dantian using the Physique Technique taught by Zhang Yi Nian.

Slowly, he felt his assimilation with the surroundings.

An epiphany of the Dao.

Something triggered inside Lin Fan’s mind, and he started to gain a clearer understanding of how his Qi cycled through his meridian points.

It was like someone lifting the veil off the map, and Lin Fan could now see clearly what was going on.

After directing his Qi throughout his body for forty-nine cycles, Lin Fan opened his eyes, and he saw everything in great clarity.

Every little movement everyone made was noticeable to him.

Even how their eyelashes moved was visible in every moment.

"Let’s continue to the next level," Lin Fan said when everyone was ready.

Lin Fan and Ho Ming led the way while Hu Tuo followed closely behind them.

The rest of them trailed behind Hu Tuo.

This level, the fourth story, contained weapons and artifacts.

An elderly man’s voice then boomed into their minds.

"Choose one and continue to the next floor." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It was the voice of the elder man whom Lin Fan had met in the first trial to enter the secret realm.

Lin Fan looked around and saw all sorts of weapons: swords, axes, spears and whips.

There was no hammer in sight, so he pondered what weapon he should take with him.

Right now, he had the hammers for mid-range, and for close range, he had his Primordial Qi Claws.

He figured he needed something that had a long range of attacks.

The spears were the only ones that interested him.

When he walked up and picked up one of the spears, the elder man’s voice came into his mind again.

"This is the Heaven’s Wrath Spear, Mystic Level; it can penetrate through anyone under Soul Transformation Level.

"But you shall have to feed it with your blood daily."

Lin Fan immediately lost interest and picked up another spear.

This went on until he found a spear that didn’t have any side effects.

"This is the Dragon’s Roar Spear, Mystic Level; With more enemy blood that is fed, the Dragon’s spirit inhabiting within will become stronger."

Lin Fan wasted no time and kept it in his toad statue.

He would have to seek out manuscripts for spears later. Explore more stories at freewebnovel

By now, the other team members had already chosen the weapons and artifacts they liked.

Ho Ming chose an artifact that was a turtle shell, a storage and defense artifact.

The Lai brothers selected from among the artifacts a pair of armor plates for the wrists.

Hu Tuo just chose for himself a prayer bead, which was both a weapon and an artifact.

With her heart now deep in vengeance, Zhao Jia Rui chose a bloody red stone, one that could make the opponent’s blood reverse in circulation.

Sian Rui just chose a sword that looked valuable with gems on it.

The fifth floor was different.

It was empty at first, but the moment they stepped onto it, everyone froze and couldn’t move.

Lin Fan then felt himself staring into darkness again.

This time there was no elder man on his two-headed tiger.

In front of him was a machine made of metal and gears, in the form of a human, holding a spear in its hand.

Lin Fan tried to bring out his hammers but couldn’t.

He figured then that this floor only allowed for the weapon you’d picked earlier.

So, he took out the spear from the toad statue.

He held the spear in his hand and adjusted his stance according to what the humanoid was doing.

Roar.

The humanoid thrust the spear at Lin Fan, and a dragon’s roar could be heard.

Lin Fan leaped to the side, and the power wave thrust missed.

Boom.

The ground exploded as the power wave hit, and a small crater was made.

The humanoid didn’t waste any time, and it leaped into the air.

With extraordinary speed, shimmers of the spear rained down as the humanoid thrust it at Lin Fan.

It created many holes in the ground as the mirage of the spears came upon Lin Fan.

Boom.

Lin Fan used the Chain Leap ability and got out of the way.

The ground shook as the humanoid landed, and the spear went into the ground.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Lin Fan threw the spear at the humanoid.

Dang.

The humanoid parried the spear away with its spear.

Lin Fan’s spear dropped onto the ground.

The humanoid saw its chance, and it lunged at Lin Fan.

When it got close, Lin Fan’s spear suddenly came to life and shot at it from the back.

Thud.

Lin Fan’s spear appeared through the humanoid’s neck.

He had used the Eight Trigram Hammer Throw technique to control the spear.

Lin Fan then used the Shadow Slip ability and got to the humanoid’s back and held onto his spear.

He then used one of his legs and stepped on the spear, while using his hands holding the lower part of the spear to push down.

This lifted the humanoid into the air; Lin Fan turned his body and slammed it onto the ground.
