From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate Fire Deer with malevolent intent for 40 vengeance points.]

Lin Fan saw the 40 vengeance points and now felt more confident about facing the fire deer.

The fire deer turned, looked at him, and bellowed.

It then lowered its head, with its antlers pointing at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shot another arrow at the fire deer's head.

Clank.

The deer shook its head vigorously, and the arrow was deflected by its antlers.

Angered by Lin Fan's provocation, flames appeared on the fire deer's antlers.

The fire deer then charged at him.

When the fire deer got close, Lin Fan felt a heat wave coming toward him.

He sidestepped, turning into a shimmer as he used the Swift Foot ability.

Lin Fan raised his hand with his axe and hacked down at the fire deer's neck.

Thud.

The axe stopped as it hit the antler.

The fire deer had turned its head in the nick of time.

Lin Fan then got into a tussle with the fire deer.

His axe was now entangled with the fire deer's antlers.

Beads of sweat slowly rolled down Lin Fan's forehead.

The fire deer tried to break free but couldn't.

It bellowed in anger and then released several bursts of flames.

Boom!

The antlers shot out flames with a few short bursts of combustion.

Lin Fan quickly let go of his axe, gritted his teeth, and braced for impact.

He felt the shockwave go through his body, and the pain felt like someone had jumbled up his internal organs.

"Argh!" Lin Fan let out a shout to release the trauma from his body.

Before he could react, he saw something starting to form between the antlers.

It was a fireball.

Slowly, the fireball grew bigger and bigger, from something only as big as his thumb into something as big as his head.

Whoosh!

The fireball came toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan jumped to the side of the fire deer using his Magnificent Leap ability.

He brushed past the fireball as he jumped.

Flames caught onto his sleeve as his left hand came too close to the fireball.

He didn't bother with it and used the Magnificent Leap again.

Thud!

His knee struck the fire deer's body.

But it wasn't enough to knock the fire deer over.

The fire deer felt the pain, and its eyes turned red with its blood pumping hard due to the adrenaline.

Lin Fan, with his Iron Claw, sliced at the fire deer's neck.

Splat.

Blood began to burst out from the fire deer's neck.

The fire deer tried to turn away from Lin Fan, leaving a circular trail of blood like a red flower's blossom.

It didn't go far, only managing to get a few steps away from Lin Fan before lying down on the ground.

Its four feet kicked and thrashed around for a few seconds, and then all stopped.

The fire deer lay motionless as its life force ebbed away.

With the immediate danger gone, Lin Fan felt his energy drain.

He quickly sat on the ground and took deep breaths to catch his breath.

When his breathing returned to normal, he sighed with huge relief.

I did it, he thought to himself.

First encounter with a demonic beast and he had won.

However, he didn't let his joy get ahead of himself.

"It was a pretty close shave," he said silently to himself.

He now knew how much more difficult it was to deal with a demonic beast compared to normal ones.

A familiar sound then erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 40.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 200]

[Host's level is currently too low to gain Demonic Beast's abilities.]

[Minimum Level Required: 5]

When Lin Fan saw the notifications, he wasn't too surprised.

He had expected his current physique to be too weak to take in the much more powerful abilities of demonic beasts.

So now he had to quickly level up his physique.

Lin Fan summoned the system's information panel in his mind to check his status.

[Current Beast Ability: 2]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 1]

[Wolf Abilities: 1]

[Current Physique Level: 2 (200 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Point: 200]

[Upgrade Physiques: Y/N]

"Yes," Lin Fan said silently to the system, and the upgrading process started.

Suddenly, he could feel all the energy in the air.

The energy then slowly seeped through his skin and into his body.

All the energy started creeping into his muscles, organs, and meridian points.

His Dantian this time felt like a volcano, with the energy gathering in it, and when it reached the brim, the energy exploded throughout his body.

The energy then made his internal organs feel renewed, and his muscles gained mass and became stronger.

This went on for a few cycles, each cycle making Lin Fan's physique better and better.

When it was all over, he looked at his body.

His oversized clothing was now stretched.

He now had a much more muscular body.

All his energy had been replenished.

[Ding! Congratulations on upgrading your Physiques.]

[Your Physical strength/endurance x 2.]

[Usage of abilities x 2.]

[Current Beast Ability: 2]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 1]

[Wolf Abilities Level: 1] 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

[Current Physique Level: 3 (400 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Point: 0]

Lin Fan frowned when he saw that he needed 400 vengeance points to upgrade to the next level.

It was going to be much tougher going forward.

He walked over to the fire deer's body, squatted down, getting ready with the most optimal posture to lift the fire deer.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and held it.

"3...2...1... go!"

To his surprise, the fire deer's body felt... light.

No, it wasn't the fire deer's body that was light.

He had gotten much stronger.

To confirm, he put down the fire deer's body and walked over to a twenty-meter fallen tree nearby.

He squatted down, scooped his hands under the fallen tree trunk, and then 3...2...1... and the tree was now held over his head.
