Lin Fan was transported to another world, into the body of a normal disciple. Given the environment he was in, Lin Fan faced the risk of being killed at any time. However, something was out of place.

Starting the system.

Ding: You've received an infinite level buff: Immortality

From then on, everything changed.

To Lin Fan, if anyone could kill him, he would concede defeat. Otherwise, he would turn them into mincemeat.

To his opponents, they have given up because it was impossible to kill Lin Fan.

Chapter 1: I Will Never Die

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Within a desolate canyon, grays of every shade covered the sky, while the overwhelming stench of blood and the sound of shrieks took over the barren land.

"I must be dreaming."

There was a teenager lying on the ground in a pool of blood. He sneakily turned to the corpse that was next to him, wiped the fresh blood that was trickling out of it onto his face, and lay on the floor straight, pretending he was dead.

"The people here really do not value their lives, huh?" He opened his eyes slightly, watching the intense battle taking place in front of him. He had a beautiful face, and paired with his long ponytail, he looked slightly feminine.

Some distance away, a sword light struck the ground, chopping a number of people in half in an instant.

A gigantic pitch-black beast covered in scales came into his vision stamping its foot heavily, causing the ground to shake. This is a living hell.

"Oh mother, I want to go home!" the teenager, Lin Fan, wailed.

Lin Fan had no idea how he got here. Three days ago, he was still gaming at home comfortably, and he fell asleep soon after. When he woke up, he was right here in this unfamiliar environment.

Shortly after he woke up, memories not belonging to him filled his mind.

The body that Lin Fan was in now belonged to another guy who had the same name, looks, and even birthmark as him. This information threw Lin Fan off his feet. What on earth is going on?

And he was currently at a place called the Magnificent Flame Sect, just like the one he read about in a novel.

The Magnificent Flame Sect was established a hundred and thirty years ago by the mighty Emperor Yanhua, who led his unyielding citizens in overthrowing the brutal tyrant and building up a nation of hope.

However, it was a pity that the sect was too weak, which made them the prey of many other sects who had been eyeing their fortune. Thus, the sect suffered from constant invasion.

This was none of Lin Fan's business in the past, but now, it was. He was utterly shocked upon realizing the situation he was in.

Lin Fan was currently a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect that was part of the army. Three days after he found himself in this new body, he would have to leave for the battle against the invaders.

As soon as he heard the news, Lin Fan attempted to escape numerous times, but it was to no avail. The sect was heavily guarded, making it impossible for him to do so. Therefore, he was now right here, lying in the middle of the battlefield pretending he was dead, with the hope of surviving the bloody war taking place right in front of his eyes.

"Mamma mia, please, wake me up from this nightmare!" Lin Fan muttered, shaking with fear.

If you really insist on transmigrating me, then at least bring me to a decent place! What is this!? Is this a joke?!

Plop!

A figure could be seen walking over before crashing onto Lin Fan.

"You're pretending to be dead." The figure looked at Lin Fan. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper and there was blood spurting out of his chest. However, compared to the horn shooting out of his forehead, the huge amount of blood was nothing scary to Lin Fan. What on earth? Is this even a human being?

"Brother," Lin Fan called out softly. "Can we take a rest? Look at the blood on your chest. It's better if we rest here until the end."

"Okay."

Oh my, did he agree just like that? Lin Fan stared at him, unable to believe his ears, while the other party turned around and lay next to him. "It's such a great day though…"

The next second, a sword pierced through his heart. Lin Fan had murdered him with the sword lying by his side.

The man with a silver horn on his forehead turned to Lin Fan in disbelief. He let go of the weapon that he was gripping onto tightly with his hand and breathed out a word; "Hey!"

"I'm not stupid. It's obvious that you were trying to kill me too." Lin Fan had never killed a person, but being transported into this messy world, he had no other choice but to kill unless he wished to be stabbed to death.

The memory of the other "Lin Fan" left him with the knowledge that he should attack if he wished to survive.

Lin Fan immediately got back to pretending to be a corpse within no time.

"Oh my god. How do I survive this?"

"You have slain a Body Tempering Stage Three living spirit. You have gained 30 points."

"Who are you!?" A voice rang in Lin Fan's head, making him jump up in shock before lying back down within the blink of an eye. If not for the intense battle taking place around Lin Fan, he would have stood up to get himself an answer.

Shortly, he heard the voice ringing across his head once again.

"Name: Lin Fan.

"Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage One ().

"Experience Points: 0

"Points: 30

"Rewarded with a ticket for the Epic draw."

Lin Fan could see a wheel covered with different images in his mind. It started spinning on its own at lighting speed, leaving Lin Fan to be confused about the current situation.

I do not know what this is, but it's dope! Thankfully, Lin Fan was able to adapt to changes quickly.

"You've received an Epic level buff: Immortality.

"Immortality: You will not perish even if the world does (Takes 10 seconds to revive)."

Lin Fan could feel a slight change taking place in his body. There seemed to be an unknown current of energy flowing through his body.

"What's going on?" He blinked his eyes, extremely confused. This makes no sense. Immortality?

Does that mean what I think it means?

"Oh? What's that spot in the sky? Am I going to wake up?" Lin Fan stared at the bright spot shining brightly in the middle of the sky, which was getting bigger in size as time passed.

When the spot got close enough, Lin Fan's heart stopped. Oh my god. What kind of evil is this? I did nothing other than lie here, minding my own business, yet I could get shot while lying down? Such luck!

Szzzz!

An ice-cold blade pierced through Lin Fan's body mercilessly. Am I going to die? Lin Fan stared at the sky in despair.

Ten seconds later…

"Eh, I'm alive again?" Lin Fan opened up his eyes. He could see a sword piercing through his body. Lin Fan did not feel even slight pain, and surprisingly, his mind was clear. Lin Fan grabbed the hilt tightly and pulled the sword out of his body.

Bright red blood spurted all around the place, but Lin Fan wasn't even slightly hurt as the injury healed within no time.

Lin Fan jumped up in excitement. Immortality must be real, huh?

Or do I have a hack?

Suddenly, a figure dropped down right in front of Lin Fan.

"No… I must persevere." The person tried to help himself up, gripping a purple ball tightly while his sight was fixed on the battle that was taking place a distance away, where a gigantic beast had just slaughtered a few comrades without blinking an eye.

Lin Fan turned to the obese man. The memories that he had obtained from this new body provided him with the information about the man's background: an extremely hard-working and quiet man. He was currently on the ground, holding onto his belly where blood was flowing out constantly, and he was as pale as a sheet of paper. He must have been injured on his belly.

"Hey fatty, pretend to be dead or else you really will be," Lin Fan whispered.

The obese man turned to Lin Fan, slightly shocked that Lin Fan wasn't dead. Anger soon took over as he tried to lash out at Lin Fan, but he was too drained to do so, thus he ended up just glaring at Lin Fan with fury.

"No, I need to send that beast to hell. If they manage to break through, our family and friends will die or be turned into servants at their hands," Lu Qiming growled at Lin Fan.

Wow, where did he get the energy to yell at me? Lin Fan stared at him, jaw wide open.

"You can't be a coward! If everyone was like you, then the sect would be doomed! Our future would be ruined, and our descendants would become slaves to them!"

Lin Fan stared at the obese man clutching his belly right in front of him blankly. He indeed does not speak much, but he sure is righteous.

To Lin Fan's surprise, the obese man tried to stand up. However, he could not because of the fresh blood that was gushing out of his belly, painting the ground bright red, and he fell down once again.

Unwillingness and despair could be seen from Lu Qiming's eyes as he shut them slowly.

Out of nowhere, he felt someone trying to take away the purple ball in his hand.

Lu Qiming opened his eyes in shock.

"You're right. If I don't do this, who will? Just hand this matter to me. If I do not come back, remember to burn incense paper for me yearly."

All Lin Fan hoped to do was leave this place right away. What does your battle have to do with me?

And with my immortality, I can go anywhere I want to in this world.

This world had caught Lin Fan's interest. Of course, he would not have paid any attention if he did not have the buff.

"You…" Lu Qiming stared at Lin Fan in shock. Never would he have thought that this comrade of his would be so brave.

Lin Fan stared at him with determination. "The wind will blow and the stream will flow, but a hero will go and never come back. I'll leave now. Live on with my determination."

Lu Qiming's face turned even redder as Lin Fan's words rang in his mind.

Tears flowed down his cheek as Lu Qiming shouted at the figure dashing to the battlefield. "You must survive."

Lin Fan did not even bother to turn back as he continued dashing forward.

"Survive? What nonsense, I'm getting out of here."

As Lin Fan got closer, he realized that the gigantic beast was not that enormous, but it resembled Godzilla.

Lu Qiming sat on the floor, staring at the figure that was now far away.

It was impossible to destroy the beast, but Lu Qiming still kept his hopes high.

All of a sudden, the figure that Lu Qiming was following dropped to the ground. Due to it being too far away, Lu Qiming could not tell what happened to Lin Fan.

"No…!" Lu Qiming wailed. But the next second, something unbelievable happened; that figure that dropped down stood up.

Perhaps it was Lu Qiming's imagination, but the figure's back was covered in blood.

"Darn it. Why are those idiots chopping me? A crowd will always bring trouble," Lin Fan muttered. Somebody chopped him in his back when he wasn't paying attention. Luckily this immortality works and revived me after ten seconds.

He thought no more and started running off.

"Dead."

Not long later, somebody killed him again. The other party slashed his neck. Lin Fan could not feel the pain, but he could see the blood gushing out of his neck and splashing onto his face.

Seeing the figure far away dropping down once again, Lu Qiming felt that his world was coming to an end, but to his surprise, the figure stood up after a few seconds and started running toward the gigantic beast.

Lu Qiming clenched his fist tightly – so tightly that fingernail marks formed on his hand. He was sobbing badly, touched by Lin Fan's act that he perceived to be of perseverance and bravery.

How brave and how strong must his will be?

Lu Qiming gritted his teeth and made a promise to himself. "I'll do my best to pass down your spirit."

On his way, Lin Fan lost count of the number of times that he had died, but thankfully, he managed to revive every time.

Even with immortality though, they keep killing me as they wish.

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of an idea. He stuck closely to the ground and wiggled his way to the beast slowly.

The battleground gained an earthworm.

The crowd was in an intense battle, so nobody noticed the earthworm wiggling around.

"Ah-ha, this is better. I'll stop getting killed." Lin Fan smiled proudly. I'm so smart.

Not long later, Lin Fan looked up to see the gigantic beast standing right in front of him.

It was a scary beast that killed many with just a stomp.

There were four figures floating next to the beast. They were staring into space, as if the battle had nothing to do with them.

Lin Fan crawled his way to the beast. Even now, there was nobody who took notice of Lin Fan, including the four figures floating next to the beast. They did not even take a look at the ground, as the enemies on the ground wouldn't be worth them worrying over.

Suddenly, the gigantic beast stomped on the ground. Lin Fan managed to escape its attack, but it was still so strong that it sent Lin Fan flying off, puking blood.

Lin Fan cursed. "Darn it."

When he revived once again, he rushed to catch up with the beast.

The ball he had was a weapon of the Magnificent Flame Sect. It was a Mortal high-class support tool painstakingly made by their tool-refining masters.

It was designed to assist the Divine Cannon in aiming correctly at its target.

Lin Fan stood in between the beast's legs and held the ball high. He took in a deep breath and pressed the "on" button before shouting a touching sentence that he saw elsewhere.

"Fire at me!"

He was so loud that the whole battlefield heard him.

Boom!

The great force of the cannon shot straight to the sky.

"Oh my god, they don't even hesitate, huh?" Even though I have immortality, I do not want to be bombed into pieces!

"Aish, run!" Lin Fan ran away from the battlefield before the shot landed.

Lu Qiming, who was lying on the ground in despair, looked up in shock.

He made it!

Lu Qiming could no longer hold in his tears, and they gushed out like a waterfall.

"I'll remember you for life!"

Lin Fan's action touched all the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, inspiring them to win the war.

"How can this be?" The four figures floating next to the beast could not believe their eyes as they were sent flying in an instant.

The ground shook violently.

A strong force could be felt across the battlefield.

Lin Fan might have run quite far, but he did not escape the strong shockwave that came right after him and sent him into the air.

"I'm flying!"

Chapter 2: I'm Excited

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

He didn't know how long had passed, but when Lin Fan opened his eyes, the scene that welcomed him knocked him off his feet.

"Where am I? Where did you bring me?"

He squinted his eyes and looked toward the desolate land that was a distance away from him. Lin Fan sneered.

"Wow, that explosion brought me this far, huh? But that's good. They will think I'm dead, and I'm now free to go anywhere I want."

Lin Fan giggled, revealing both rows of his pearly white teeth.

This immortality is superb! At least it can ensure that I do not die and I can do whatever I want!

Oh yeah, when I killed that guy, there seemed to be something in my mind.

Within no time, the picture that Lin Fan was anticipating appeared in his mind.

"Name: Lin Fan.

"Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage One ().

"Experience Points: 100

"Points: 30"

"Oh lord, this is so damn cool." If any others were to be placed in Lin Fan's position, they would definitely be shocked, confused, or even terrified, but this was Lin Fan, whose adaptability was extraordinary. All he focused on was how it was mandatory for a handsome guy like him to have a hack.

If I did not have this hack, then why would I continue? I'd rather die right away.

Anyway, I seemed to gain the 30 points after I killed the silver horned guy, but where did all these experience points come from? It was non-existent to start with…. Oh, when I was being slashed to death, there was a slight increase.

But when Lin Fan saw that the cultivation was only at Body Tempering Stage One, he rolled his eyes.

What on earth, so this other "Lin Fan" was so bad and weak that his cultivation was at the weakest stage?

Such a headache!

Life back on earth was heavenly. What brought me here? I only fell asleep, yet I woke up here? If I was invincible then it would be fine, but look at the cultivation I'm at!

"Eh, what's the plus sign right behind the cultivation?" Lin Fan blinked his eyes and pressed on it lightly.

Something incredible happened.

"Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Two ().

"Experience Points: 0"

"What is this…?" Lin Fan breathed out. He felt a current of energy flowing through his body, and he seemed to have gained more strength.

Lin Fan clenched his fist. I do indeed feel way stronger than before. Dope. This is dope.

"Haha!"

Lin Fan cackled. He felt as if he was standing on top of the world. In novels, the main character always has to put in their blood, sweat, and tears to cultivate, yet I am able to increase my cultivation with just a touch! Who in this world would be able to end me?

But soon, he realized that something was out of the place.

The experience points were 0 at the start, increased to 100 within a short period of time, and were back at 0. So I must be killed to increase my experience points? But that shouldn't be the only way. I will need to look into it.

As for the regular points, I have no idea what I should do with them.

In normal circumstances, there would be a points city for me to exchange the points for gifts or lottery draws. It's such a disappointment that I don't see anything now.

Thud.

Noises could be heard from afar.

Lin Fan crouched behind a rock and peeped over it. He could not believe what came into his sight.

What on earth?

Aren't those the people I saw on the battlefield? Why are they running toward me?

Did I manage to save the world just now?

He took a quick glance around himself only to realize that there was no way out.

If he met them face-to-face, it would not be fatal for him since he could just revive, but Lin Fan wanted freedom, not to be captured alive.

An idea popped up in Lin Fan's head. His eyes shone with determination, and with all his strength, he banged his head against the rock.

Bang!

"Wow, Lin Fan, you're so dope!"

Blood flowed out of his head, and he tried to get every drop of it.

He wiped the blood all over himself and lay on floor motionlessly with his tongue stuck out, pretending to be dead.

The noises got closer.

"Let's go. The Magnificent Flame Sect people are all mad. How is it possible that we were defeated?"

"What in the world is going on?"

"Haish."

"Look, a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple who's dead."

"These disgusting people. I hope he does not die in peace!"

Splash!

Lin Fan felt a blade stuck right into his flesh. Oh god.

These dogs are absolutely sick. I'm already pretending to be dead, yet you are stabbing me? Sick!

But even so, he remained motionless.

If they knew about my immortality, I would be in big trouble.

Suddenly, a sentence flashed through his mind.

"Experience Points: 10"

So my guess was right. It indeed increased.

"This evil disciple of Magnificent Flame Sect, I'm going to turn you into diced meat!"

Damn it!

When I become invincible, you will be the first to die.

But wait, the experience points did not increase this time.

"C'mon. Let's get going."

"One attack each will be enough."

"Okay."

And then, a tragedy took place; every madman who passed by gave him a slash on his "dead body."

Fortunately, he gained more experience points.

10

10

…

However, it took ten seconds for Lin Fan to revive. He would be considered dead in the meantime, and whoever gave him a slash during that period would not grant him experience points.

A few moments passed.

The noises got lower and lower.

Lin Fan immediately opened up his eyes and caressed his head.

I'm fine.

The Magnificent Flame Sect must have won or these madmen would not be out here.

Let's look at the experience points.

What? It's 150 now!

I was slashed about 15 times.

Lin Fan pressed the plus sign beside the cultivation again, but to no avail.

Not enough this time, huh? Whatever, let's see…. Where shall I go now?

A breeze blew past, causing Lin Fan to shudder.

He looked down to see that his clothes were torn into pieces. Ah, let me find something to cover up first.

According to the previous Lin Fan's memory, the Magnificent Flame Sect was currently in a mess. There is danger lurking around everywhere. However, I finally got out. I should seize the chance to do whatever I want and travel anywhere.

I'm going to go everywhere in this world.

The world is huge. Having been transported to a foreign world, I have to live life the way I want.

I have such a great hack, I will definitely reach the peak of life.

The next minute, he took back all his words.

Hiding behind the rock, he could see everything that was taking place right in front of him. He did a u-turn without hesitation.

I guess the Magnificent Flame Sect is safer.

I'm a hero after all.

They should welcome me.

There might be girls admiring me, the hero. Then I would be able to find a partner too.

Sounds exciting, actually.

"Huh, where are they?"

When Lin Fan got back to the battlefield, it was once again the barren land it was before. There wasn't even a single corpse in sight.

Lin Fan did not know how many had sacrificed their lives in the battle, but from how intense it was, there should be at least ten thousand people that were sacrificed.

How long was I unconscious that the battlefield is totally cleared up now?

He had only been in the Magnificent Flame Sect for three days, so of course he wasn't attached to it even slightly. However, what was on the other side was too dangerous, and even with immortality, he wouldn't be able to defend himself, so returning was the best choice.

Lin Fan scanned around the place, but there wasn't anything left. What on earth?

I would be a walking joke if anyone sees me in this state as well.

If I continue, I'll reach where the Magnificent Flame Sect is located. I wonder what's going on.

Time flew past.

"Hey, stop there. Who are you?" All of a sudden, Lin Fan heard a yell. Two men came up to him with weapons in their hands and were staring at Lin Fan guardedly.

Oh, lord. Finally.

"I'm one of you. Calm down." Lin Fan waved his hand. He reached for his pocket to pull out a piece of evidence, only to realize that all he was wearing now was a cloth covering his crotch.

The skinnier man stared at Lin Fan weirdly. Why is he dressed in such a manner? He looked at him in disdain and sneered. "What do you have to prove that you're not a spy?"

Lin Fan stared at him in disbelief. Spy? God bless your intelligence.

Which spy in their right mind would wear this?

Idiot.

The taller man shook his head. "I feel that we should just kill this kiddo. He looks so perverted and is from some unknown origin."

"I don't think we should do so." The skinnier man shook his head.

"Why?" The taller one rolled his eyes. "I could just slash him in half and be done with him."

Hearing them, Lin Fan turned as red as a beetroot. I have travelled so far to look for you just to have you kill me? Pigs!

This is absurd!

"What do you want to do to me!?" Lin Fan yelled. "This is such a disappointment. I help you get rid of that beast and yet you want to kill me as soon as I return?"

Both of them turned to Lin Fan in utter disbelief.

"Are you the disciple that told me to fire at you?" the skinny man stammered.

"Who else could it be? I already sacrificed myself for you all, yet you want to kill me? Oh my, this is so sad. I'll just leave." Lin Fan sniffed as if he had never thought of this possibility.

As soon as Lin Fan turned around, someone grabbed onto his arm.

Lin Fan snickered. Easy. I only need a few words to make you feel guilty.

Indeed.

"Junior brother, pardon us. Me and senior brother were really unaware." The skinnier man looked down in guilt as he stopped glaring at Lin Fan in anger.

How would they not know that they were only able to win this war thanks to this disciple? If not for him, the Magnificent Flame Sect might now be in a mess.

"Okay, then I'll forgive you if that's the case." Lin Fan turned back, making his hair flip.

As for the taller disciple, he was also buff. He put his arm around Lin Fan and stared at him seriously. "Junior brother, I apologize for my words. Don't take it to heart, I'm just rough."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes secretly. Buff but seems brainless.

Lin Fan smiled at his decision. Even with immortality, I wouldn't have been able to escape if I was captured previously.

Here seems to be safer, and I'll be able to escape later if I have the chance.

"May I know the names of my senior brothers?"

The skinnier man's hair flowed down his shoulders. He looked decent and feminine. "I'm Yin Xiaotian."

"I'm called Gao Dazhuang. We are a family from now on. You can come to me if you need any help. My hobby is to assist those in need."

He indeed lives up to his name. Tall (Gao), buff (Zhuang), and silly (Dazhuang is considered a silly name).

And who's his family member? You can't just call anyone your family member.

But they seem friendly, though.

"I'm Lin Fan."

All of a sudden, Yin Xiaotian let out a yelp. "Yeah, Dazhuang, take care of Junior Brother Lin. I'll go and inform the senior brothers right away."

With that, Yin Xiaotian dashed off.

Lin Fan watched him take off and turned to Gao Dazhuang. "Senior Brother Dazhuang, where is Senior Brother Yin going?"

Gao Dazhuang patted Lin Fan's back hard and spoke in a loud voice. "Junior Brother, you're our hero. Our senior brothers are all searching for you."

Oh, and here I was worried about what grave matter it was.

Lin Fan wanted to roll his eyes badly.

Under Gao Dazhuang's lead, he got past a few obstacles.

According to the other Lin Fan's memory, this was not the sect itself, but a camp set up temporarily to prepare for the battle with the invaders.

Lin Fan was slightly embarrassed by Gao Dazhuang now though; he constantly shouted the same thing at every person they met.

"This is the junior brother that killed the beast during the war. He's a hero!"

And now, every single person was staring at him with admiration.

Lin Fan stood with his chest up. It's fortunate that I get to enjoy the treatment of a hero before I go off.

They reached the main camp within no time.

Unlike the campsites seen in dramas back on Earth, this was not just a big tent.

It was an ancient architecture, majestic and sturdy. Especially the commando hall right in the middle, which was magnificent and huge.

"Senior Brother, that's him." Yin Xiaotian came out from a room bringing along a man who was scanning Lin Fan.

"You're Lin Fan?" The man stared at Lin Fan in confusion. How did he survive the Divine Cannon?

"Yes, Senior Brother. I'm Lin Fan." Lin Fan smiled widely.

"How did you survive?" the man asked.

Lin Fan had already thought of an explanation. He smiled and started sprouting nonsense; "Senior Brother, what you might not know is that Lu Qiming – Senior Brother Lu – wanted to sacrifice his life to kill the monstrous beast, but he was seriously injured, so this junior brother did not hesitate to take over for him. I took the weapon and rushed to the beast on the battlefield, but when the Divine Cannon shot arrived, I had already run off and then lost consciousness after some time. I woke up somewhere far away, still alive but without my clothes."

The man looked at him, shocked. Wow, there were such things?

That Divine Cannon is a treasure among middle-grade weapons that can be activated by inserting a huge number of mystic crystals. Even if he was a Body Tempering Stage Nine person who was about to become an Earth Star Border elite, he would not have survived!

Whatever, let's just take it as him being lucky.

"Great. This is fantastic. With a disciple like you, the Magnificent Flame Sect will have a bright future." The man smiled happily and patted Lin Fan. "Junior Brother Lin, I'll remember your achievement and repay you heftily when we return to the sect after the war. Junior Brother Yin, take Junior Brother Lin back for a rest."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Yin Xiaotian nodded and smiled at Lin Fan. "Junior Brother Lin, let's go and get you changed."

Lin Fan stood rooted to the ground blankly.

Aren't I a hero? This is how you treat me?

Didn't I perform a heroic act?

What on earth? This is so disappointing. It's indeed better to wander outside.

Lin Fan sighed in disappointment. He thought he would be able to reach the peak of his life easily, but who knew it was just this?

On their way back:

"Senior Brother Yin, who's that senior brother?" Lin Fan asked.

"That's Senior Brother Fang Qing." Yin Xiaotian sighed in admiration. "He only came to the sect two years ago, but he's already a Body Tempering Stage Nine cultivator, and soon, he'll be an Earth Star Border elite." He then smiled sheepishly. "I and Dazhuang have already been here for three years, yet we are still only in Body Tempering Stage Six. I wonder when we can be like Senior Brother Fang Qing."

Lin Fan nodded. Two years to Body Tempering Stage Nine? Then what would I be? Invincible?

Luckily, I have my hack.

"With Junior Brother Lin's ability, you will soon be an Earth Star Border elite too." Gao Dazhuang smiled.

Chapter 4: Cheating

"Junior Brother Lin, here's your room. There are clothes in the wardrobe." Yin Xiaotian led Lin Fan into the room. Yin Xiaotian smiled at Lin Fan apologetically. How could I suspect that he's a spy when he saved the entire sect? I'm really so ashamed that I want to dig a hole and hide in it.

Looking at the house standing right in front of him, Lin Fan smiled. It's not bad. "Senior brothers, where are you guys going?"

"Dazhuang and I are on duty today. We need to return to our positions soon," Yin Xiaotian answered. "I'll be here to look for you tomorrow, Junior Brother." Yin Xiaotian and Gao Dazhuang turned to leave.

Lin Fan was still confused about the situation he was in, so he needed some alone time.

"See you, senior brothers." Lin Fan smiled and waved goodbye to them.

But this action got Yin Xiaotian and Gao Dazhuang to turn and look at him in confusion. "Junior Brother Lin, was there something else?"

"Ah?" Lin Fan stared at them blankly. What "something else"? Lin Fan blinked his eyes and shook his head. "Ah, nothing. Goodbye, senior brothers."

"Rest well, Junior Brother Lin."

What on earth? Do they not even know what "see you" means?

Lin fan walked back to the room.

It was a simple but clean room. He took off the cloth around his crotch and changed into a brand-new set of clothes.

This poor fashion sense might ruin my reputation.

Whatever, let me check out the hack.

Hey, there's the system, but why is it not moving?

Hello, please move.

Lin Fan closed his eyes, and within a few seconds, the previous image bounced back into his mind.

Name: Lin Fan

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Two ()

Experience Points: 150

Points: 30

Talent: Immortality

Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), rest yet to be unlocked.

Changes could be seen, especially the additions of Talent and Lottery.

Immortality was already known. So, I have to use points for the lottery?

I got an epic lottery draw last time, so I must've been lucky. It seems like I don't have that category of lottery currently. More to work on.

However, the experience points… I couldn't possibly be killed daily. There must be other ways.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The chimes of the Great Lu Bell travelled over.

It was a high-pitched noise that resembled a shriek, as if to send a warning sign.

The memory of "Lin Fan" gave Lin Fan the information of this bell.

It was a specialty of the Magnificent Flame Sect. No matter where they were, it would chime on time.

Reminding every disciple of theirs to practice and improve themselves to achieve their aim, which would build up a strong and powerful sect, that was the motto of the Magnificent Flame Sect.

"Oh yeah, as long as you are a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, you have to practice a set of skills when you join."

"Body Refinement Technique."

Lin Fan tried his best to dig out the information from the other Lin Fan's memory.

No matter who they are, every Magnificent Flame Sect disciple has to practice this.

The Body Tempering Realm was split into nine stages. There was not much difference in one's ability at each level, but as it increased, one's body would become stronger and stronger until, at last, it became indestructible.

Of course, that was just an exaggeration. There was nobody in this world who was able to reach such a level. However, they took it as far as they could in order to prepare themselves for entering the Earth Star Boundary.

According to the records, one had to pay a huge price to reach Body Tempering Stage Nine.

"What the heck, there is only one method of cultivation? How poor is this world? If I could get a special technique, then I would be on top of the world shortly."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, let me try it. If it's too slow, I'll just commit suicide and see how far I can take it."

Lin Fan was aware of how dangerous the situation was.

They were currently being invaded by the Sunshine Sect. As far as he was aware, this was the neighboring sect of the Magnificent Flame Sect. The sect possessed a strong ability, but inadequate resources and land space. Since it was much more powerful than the Magnificent Flame Sect, the Sunshine Sect always wanted to take over the Magnificent Flame Sect's territory.

But why would any Magnificent Flame Sect disciple agree to that? They might not be as strong, but at least they were brave. Thus, the disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect braced themselves for the war.

"Haish, why didn't I teleport into someone great? How stressful."

Cultivate!

Movement skill.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan felt his body connecting with the air. A strong vibration could be felt in the air like a stone creating ripples in a lake, making his body sting.

Press them down.

After gaining immortality, Lin Fan could no longer feel pain. But from the other Lin Fan's memory, he was aware that cultivating would bring about excruciating pain, thus there weren't many who could take it for long periods and so they had to cultivate at a slow pace instead.

Suddenly, a change gave Lin Fan a big shock.

"Experience points 1

"Experience points 1"

…

Watching the experience points increase, Lin Fan couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. He jumped up in excitement.

"Oh god!

"I knew it! If I could only increase my experience points by getting killed, then it would take me ages before I could get to the peak. This is great!"

After some time, Lin Fan stopped cultivating.

Oh my god, 3750 experience points?

I'll press the plus sign now. It should work.

Lin Fan pressed the button.

Boom!

A weird feeling flowed through Lin Fan, and he saw the experience points decreasing.

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Three ()

Experience Points: 1750

Going from Body Tempering Stage One to Stage Two only required a hundred experience points, but it's two thousand now? What on earth? The difference is huge.

However, Lin Fan was already satisfied. Others took months to level up while he only took a short while.

As soon as one reached Body Tempering Stage Three, the body would start showing changes, and one's skin would become harder.

Determination was required, as cultivation was torturous.

But this knowledge didn't stop Lin Fan. After realizing how fast he could level up, Lin Fan continued to cultivate at a crazy speed.

I can only have freedom when I am strong enough, or having immortality would be a waste too.

Cultivate!

The sun had set, and Lin Fan opened his eyes abruptly.

Experience Points: 5750

He clicked on the plus sign.

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Four ()

Experience Points: 1750

In no time, Lin Fan could feel changes taking place in his body. His smooth and shiny skin turned hard and rough, and scales could be seen on his skin like he was wearing a set of scale mail. Lin Fan reached out to have a touch and realized that they were extremely tough. Soon, they sank in and hid under the smooth skin.

"Isn't it supposed to be tough moving from Stage Three to Stage Four? Where're my tough times?"

Lin Fan stared at his skin and let out a loud laugh. What the heck, there's no need to die anymore. I'm practically cheating, and nobody can overtake me.

I'm on my way to the top of my life.

Chapter 5: I Refuse to Believe

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

If I have this hack and don't fully use it, I must be mad.

Furthermore, I'm still in a dangerous situation right now. If a war takes place again, I would be slashed again. I may not die, but being slashed repeatedly isn't good for my mental health.

Cultivate as much as I can!

Soon, it was midnight.

Lin Fan opened his eyes abruptly. He was a normal human being, after all, so like anyone else, he would feel dizzy and tired after cultivating intensely. His body was not yet so powerful that he could sustain himself without rest.

At least, for now.

I can gain around thirty experience points in a minute, so a thousand and eight hundred in an hour?

Experience Points: 7150

Three hours had passed.

The sky had already turned dark, and it was quiet outside.

Haish, still not enough points for me to level up.

The next day:

Bang! Bang!

Lin Fan could hear knocking on his door. I used to wake up at noon everyday. What's wrong with the people here?

"Who the hell is banging on my door?" Lin Fan pulled the door open, and the next second, he was enveloped in a fat man's arms.

"Junior Brother Lin, you survived!" Lu Qiming hugged him tightly, tears flowing down his cheeks. He remembered the events of the war vividly. Luckily for him, he survived the war, but the thought of Lin Fan made his heart ache, so he pleaded with others to search for Lin Fan's corpse while he was being treated.

Later, he received news that Lin Fan came back completely fine. Lu Qiming wanted to look for him the moment he heard this news, but he was so badly injured that he couldn't move as he wished. After spending a night recovering, he felt better and could not contain his excitement, so he was now here.

"Crazy man." Lin Fan rolled his eyes secretly. What is this fatty thinking? I'm straighter than a ruler. Lin Fan tried to struggle away from his hug but to no avail. Lu Qiming hugged him so tightly that Lin Fan felt like he was tied up in metal chains.

Lin Fan stared at him blankly and nodded. "I'm glad you survived, Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Qiming looked up, face flushing red with excitement. "I thought I was going to die there, but Junior Brother Lin instructed me to live with your determination, so I swore to make it through. I'm so glad that I could see Junior Brother Lin once again!"

Cough!

A sound came from the door.

"Am I interrupting something?" Yin Xiaotian stood at the door, eyeing Lin Fan and Lu Qiming weirdly. He turned to Gao Dazhuang and shook his head. I must be thinking too much.

Gao Dazhuang smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Junior Brother Lin is so popular, just like me."

Realizing what he had just done, Lu Qiming let go of Lin Fan and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, senior brothers. I was just too happy to see Junior Brother Lin alive."

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He was so enthusiastic that it was scary.

"Senior brothers, it's still early. Is there anything you need me for?"

"Junior Brother Lin, we are here to bring you to the canteen before heading to the training ground to cultivate," Yin Xiaotian answered.

Gao Dazhuang nodded, giving Lin Fan a silly smile. "Let's hurry up, or else we are going to be late and we will end up with nothing."

It was the third day since Lin Fan's arrival, and he had always been alone, making a joke out of himself. He never thought that he would be so popular that there would be people who would come and invite him for breakfast. This feels good.

He went to wash up before going off.

"Senior brothers, let's get going."

After breakfast, the four of them went to the training ground together. It was wartime, but cultivating daily was a must.

"Senior Brother Yin, do all of the disciples practice the Body Refinement Technique?"

"Yes. It's the basics. It helps to strengthen our basis and body. When we get to Body Tempering Stage Nine, we can prepare to enter the Earth Star Border, and when we do so, we can produce yuan energy and stop training like a mortal."

"Then what techniques can I train now, being in the Body Tempering Realm?"

"What mortals train. You need yuan energy to train any proper techniques," Yin Xiaotian explained.

Within no time, they reached the training ground.

Lin Fan shuddered upon seeing the scene on the training ground.

This is too violent.

The training ground was currently painted with blood, and the ground was bright red in color. Some stood there quietly letting others smack them with wooden or even iron rods, while some pulled rocks toward themselves, letting them smash into their bodies.

They weren't masochists, this was just how they cultivated.

There were a lot of ways that they could train. The first way was to practice the Body Refinement Technique by itself.

Another way was to do what they were doing here while practicing the Body Refinement Technique at the same time, increasing the speed of cultivation.

However, if they decided to use this method, they couldn't do it for long. Persevering would only end up with a dead person.

"Junior Brother Lin, let's start," Lu Qiming said. In order to increase his ability, Lu Qiming was extremely hardworking.

"Okay." Lin Fan smiled thinly. I shall take this chance to cultivate. But do those methods really work?

Yin Xiaotian did not choose to cultivate in that manner as if he couldn't bear to hurt his precious body. However, Gao Dazhuang took off his shirt, revealing his muscles.

"Come and beat me." Gao Dazhuang took a deep breath. He was now all red, and his size was indeed scary.

Yin Xiaotian gripped an iron bar tightly and smacked it into Gao Dazhuang hard. Gao Dazhuang, who always had a smile plastered on his face, currently had a serious look.

He hid the pain well and did not show it.

Gao Dazhuang made use of this and practiced the Body Refinement Technique at the same time. His body turned red as if it was being cooked. Gao Dazhuang's blood turned into strings of energy and dispersed into his bones.

He was refining his bones at a high level.

Lin Fan looked around and decided to try it out too.

"You're Lin Fan? The one that killed the beast?" A voice travelled from the back.

Lin Fan turned around to see a buff man walking toward him. He wasn't wearing his clothes, and Lin Fan could see injuries all around his back.

"Yeah." Lin Fan smiled proudly. A fan, huh?

The man scanned him and sneered. "I, Zhang Long, do not believe that. With your cultivation and size, how is that possible?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. Hey, I sacrificed myself for you all and you do not believe it? Are you insulting me?

"Then what can I do to prove it?" Lin Fan eyed him. I must prove myself.

"Nothing, I just don't believe it," Zhang Long replied and went off.

This left Lin Fan in confusion. That's not how this is supposed to go. He's supposed to say something that angers me, and then I prove him wrong. Now he's leaving just like that?

"Zhang Long, what do you mean? Are you questioning Junior Brother Lin's ability?" Lu Qiming could not hold it in anymore. I saw his heroic act with my own eyes!

"Lu Qiming, what are you trying to imply? What's wrong if I suspect his ability? He was as timid as a mouse before, but now I'm supposed to believe he defeated that beast? Who would believe that?" Zhang Long sneered.

"You…!" Lu Qiming glared at Zhang Long with wide eyes, not knowing what else to say.

After some time, they heard a gasp from the distance.

"What the heck, who is this disciple? He's so fierce!"

"But with this frequency, no matter how strong he is, he will die soon."

Noises kept coming the distance.

Lu Qiming and Zhang Long looked over together.

But what they saw left them flabbergasted.

Touched

Lin Fan grabbed tightly onto the rope that was tied to a gigantic rock. Every time he released the rope, the rock would strike him.

This was a torturous method that not many would dare to try. It was simply too dangerous, and even if someone tried it, they wouldn't do it for very long.

But to Lin Fan, this was nothing.

It does not even hurt.

He practiced the Body Refinement Technique at the same time, and the number of experience points he had grew in no time.

Experience Points 5

…

He got more than what he got during normal cultivation.

Blood gushed up to his head, and his body was now as red as a piece of raw meat. Lin Fan was breathing heavily.

The other disciples watched him in utter disbelief.

"Who is this? That's so fierce!"

"Smashing the rock against yourself is ten times more effective than normal cultivation, but it's dangerous and you might die from mishaps. Not many below Body Tempering Stage Six have dared to do so."

"How many times did he do it?"

"This is insane! Even our seniors who are at Body Tempering Stage Six dare not do it at such an intense frequency! You need to let your boiling blood calm down after every strike! He will die soon if he continues!"

Lin Fan smiled after hearing the gasps. He gained more experience points than expected, and it was way more effective than training normally.

With immortality, he could endure things that others could not. To Lin Fan, this was nothing. All he felt was some wetness on his back, which was blood.

Currently, Lin Fan was as red as a tomato. He breathed through his mouth, and he saw a puff of white smoke.

Experience Points: 8000

Lin Fan did not hesitate to press down the plus sign.

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Five ()

A current of energy burst forth from his body.

Boom!

Veins could be seen on his arm. They were very obvious, as if the veins were going to burst. He felt his power increasing.

His arms seemed to get thicker, and he became taller too.

"Who is this disciple? He broke through during cultivation! Now he's in Body Tempering Stage Five, and his bones are starting to change."

"Incredible. Who is he?"

"I heard that he's the one that killed the beast yesterday."

"Him?"

The disciples nearby all stared at Lin Fan in disbelief and excitement.

They never once thought that they would see someone like this in their lives.

Zhang Long watched the scene with jaws wide open. He felt a bit guilty.

What did I just say about him?

Doubting his skills?

He's as timid as a mouse?

Oh lord, who dares to cultivate in this way, at such a high frequency?

The pain must be unbearable, yet he is able to do it as if nothing is happening! Oh, and he even seems a bit happy too?

He must be mad.

Gao Dazhuang stopped cultivating and stared at Lin Fan blankly. "Junior Brother Lin is so powerful! Even I do not dare to do that." He sighed in awe.

Yin Xiaotian nodded. "I never would've expected that he would have such a strong determination. If I wasn't seeing it myself, I wouldn't believe it."

Lu Qiming stared at the blood flowing down Lin Fan's back and glared at Zhang Long. "Who's the mouse here? Do you dare to cultivate in the same way?"

Zhang Long was currently at Body Tempering Stage Six. He practiced hard to get where he was now, but he dared not do what Lin Fan was doing now. His body would shatter under the pressure! The pain would be too much for Zhang Long to take.

But now, Lin Fan had repeated the same action a hundred times. How painful must it be?

"I… I…" Zhang Long stammered. He was at a loss for words. Zhang Long was indeed taken aback by Lin Fan's actions. He turned to Lin Fan. The disdain was long gone, replaced with admiration.

Lu Qiming ignored Zhang Long as he yelled at Lin Fan, "Junior Brother Lin, stop it! You will be in trouble if you continue."

Lin Fan opened his mouth, and a puff of water vapor could be seen coming out.

"Senior Brother Lu, this is nothing much. If I couldn't tolerate such a small pain, then how could I protect our sect? I have to work hard if I do not wish to get killed. As a man, I should bleed more so that others shed fewer tears."

I really admire my bullshitting ability.

What's pain?

I would love to feel it, but I can't.

Bang!

The sound of the rock crashing into Lin Fan travelled across the training ground.

The training ground turned silent in an instant.

All the disciples were inspired by Lin Fan's words.

What are we here for?

To protect our sect and defeat our enemies.

The disciples were all motivated after hearing him.

"Senior Brother Lin is right, you're indeed a hero."

"Let's buck up and practice. Pain is nothing."

Another disciple took the rope and smashed himself with the rock. However, he was sent flying.

Another disciple went over to help him up. "Junior Brother, are you alright?"

"Yeah. But it's too tough. Let's train together, shall we?"

"Okay."

Gao Dazhuang nodded upon hearing Lin Fan. "Junior Brother Lin makes so much sense. Dazhuang is going to practice some more. Beat me up, Junior Brother."

"Okay."

Lu Qiming was inspired, so he got to practicing immediately. He never thought that this Junior Brother Lin would be that determined. I can't lag behind.

Zhang Long was feeling extremely guilty. He went up to Lin Fan apologetically. "I'm sorry that I misunderstood you, Junior Brother."

Lin Fan huffed and smiled. "Senior Brother, we are all disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect, we should help each other."

Seeing Lin Fan smiling at him, Zhang Long was at a loss for words. He must be in deep pain, yet he is smiling at me to make me feel better.

Tears glossed Zhang Long's eyes. I'm so rude, yet Junior Brother Lin is so nice to me.

I'm so touched.

"Junior Brother Lin, I…" Zhang Long stared at him blankly before rushing off to cultivate.

If Lin Fan could read minds, he would be rolling his eyes at Zhang Long badly.

Senior Brother, you're thinking too much.

I'm just trying to show everyone that cultivating is easy.

Why would you think otherwise?

At noon, the training ground was filled with screams of pain.

It was a normal scene, but abnormal at the same time too, as no one left early.

This left many passersby in shock. What on earth?

Why does this seem like a mental hospital?

But the cultivation did not stop.

Report chapter

"Damn it, I can't take anymore."

Lin Fan might not have been able to feel the pain, but he knew that there was something odd about his body.

Crack!

Lin Fan felt his spine crack after being put under such constant pressure.

Pui!

He vomited blood.

His lungs had burst open.

Lin Fan was now as pale as a sheet of paper, which was a sign that he was seriously injured. Being only a Body Tempering Stage Five cultivator, he could take this no more.

I need to rest, right now.

I should just commit suicide, but I can't do it right in front of everyone. Let me find a secluded spot first.

"Junior Brother Lin, you're okay, right?" Lu Qiming came to Lin Fan and helped him up, looking at him worriedly.

Lin Fan waved his hands. "I'm fine, I'm just quite tired now. I need to go back and rest, senior brothers can continue on your own."

"Are you sure?" Lu Qiming asked, not convinced.

Lin Fan nodded and flashed him a smile. "It's okay, I'm fine enough to kill a bull. Do you believe me?"

Before Lu Qiming could say anything else, Lin Fan dashed away from the training ground.

If I can't hold it in anymore and collapse right in front of him, I would be done for.

"Is Junior Brother Lin really alright?" Watching Lin Fan run off, Yin Xiaotian muttered.

Gao Dazhuang stopped cultivating and nodded. "Junior Brother Lin is so powerful. He must have trained the Body Refinement Technique well."

As soon as Lin Fan returned to his house, he could not hold it anymore and started coughing blood.

"Oh my god. Not only are my lungs finished, even my liver is done for. No wonder they say that this cultivation method is insane."

If I were to recover naturally, who knows how long it would take?

Lin Fan grabbed the sword next to him and slit his neck.

"Ah!" He could hear some background music playing next to him as he fell to the ground.

Experience Points 10

After ten seconds, Lin Fan opened his eyes. He stood up to stretch, and he was feeling perfectly fine.

He had fully recovered.

Experience Points: 1265

I'm done acting cool for today. Now I should think about how to leave this place, which is my my goal. It's not an easy task though.

He looked around and realized there was a pool of blood on the floor. Lin Fan furrowed his brows at the scene. It's disturbing. He then immediately went to clean it up.

Now, all I should do is improve at the fastest possible speed. I can do anything when I am strong enough.

Lin Fan went back to the training ground.

Lu Qiming was dumbfounded seeing him here again.

"Junior Brother Lin, why are you here again?" He knew that Lin Fan was injured, and he did not expect him to recover in such a short time.

Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. "Senior Brother, I can't rest in peace upon thinking about the situation we are in. Since I'm fine, then I'll continue."

Lu Qiming felt inspired by hearing Lin Fan. "Good job, Junior Brother Lin."

Other than that, there was nothing he could say.

Junior Brother Lin learns fast – so fast that I admire him.

Lin Fan felt helpless upon transmigrating here. The other Lin Fan was an orphan too. He had no one to rely on and no one to worry about either.

Whatever, let's cultivate.

As the rock smashed him, he gained more experience points.

Throughout the afternoon, the disciples in the training ground were all practicing hard.

They cultivated desperately because they had met a monster, which was a certain disciple.

His method of cultivating made them watch with jaws wide open. If they did not see it with their own eyes, they would not believe it.

A distance away:

"Who is that disciple?" A fierce middle-aged man stared at the training ground.

"Senior Brother Lu, he's Lin Fan." The disciple at the side bowed, staring at Senior Brother Lu with admiration.

Senior Brother Lu had high cultivation and was very powerful. He was an idol in many disciples' eyes, and it was said that he was already an Earth Star Border Stage Five cultivator.

Senior Brother Lu took note of Lin Fan and continued patrolling. "Great. The disciples are training hard today. This is the only way that they can prevent themselves from becoming mincemeat."

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu is right."

…

It was finally night, and Lin Fan went back to his room all beat up. He immediately ended his life.

After ten seconds, he revived again.

Experience Points: 10500. But I still need some more to level up.

The next day, the chimes woke Lin Fan up from his dreams.

"Are they mad? It's still early!" Lin Fan grumbled in frustration and woke up reluctantly.

Bang! Bang!

"Junior Brother Lin, hurry up, we need to gather." Lu Qiming banged on his door, rushing Lin Fan.

"Yes, I'm coming." Lin Fan put on his clothes and walked to the door. "What's going on, Senior Brother Lu?"

"This is an emergency signal," Lu Qiming answered. "Something must have happened. Let's hurry."

When they reached the venue, it was already filled with disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect. The disciples stood there in neat rows, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing. What's going on?

"Senior Brother, what's going on? Why are they so solemn?" Lin Fan whispered.

"Shh, Junior Brother, keep quiet," Lu Qiming said.

"Oh." Lin Fan nodded. There's a secret.

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt something in the distance.

As he realized what happened, he got a shock. Wow, he's so buff, even bigger in size than Gao Dazhuang. And he looks so fierce! I might not be able to see clearly, but I can feel it.

"That's Senior Brother Lu." Lu Qiming looked over. "Senior Brother Lu is extremely powerful. He killed a Sunshine Sect's elite and turned the tables during the battle."

"Junior brothers and sisters," Senior Brother Lu spoke up. His voice was so deep that it sent chills down Lin Fan's spine.

"The Sunshine Sect is still not willing to give up. They are going to split into two teams, one to Tianfeng City and the other here. We are going to send a thousand disciples to intercept them outside Tianfeng City and leave the rest here. There's a 10% chance of surviving, but you will only need to hold on for three hours, which will be enough for reinforcements to get to Tianfeng City. Who is willing to do so?" Senior Brother Lu's voice boomed across the hall, waiting for volunteers.

The disciples all stared at each other in fear.

10% survival? Isn't that basically the same as 100% of dying?

Moreover, the Sunshine Sect's disciples are mad and cruel. If they know they're about to die, they will want to pull you down with them too! That's what scariest about their sect.

The disciples hesitated upon hearing about the danger.

Lin Fan weighed the benefits in his heart.

Going would be equivalent to suicide. Many will die.

Why not escape there?

Lin Fan raised his hand without hesitation.

"I will."

The hall turned to Lin Fan unanimously.

Lin Fan stood upright and walked up to the stage, away from the crowd.

Lu Qiming wanted to stop him, but he was too late.

He was not afraid of death, but he did not wish to die just like that.

Chapter 8: Wait, Let Me Talk

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Standing under the spotlight…

This feels so great.

Feels great to act cool before I run off.

Lin Fan turned to Senior Brother Lu, looking all serious. "Senior Brother Lu, I am willing to do it."

"Great." Lu Daosheng patted Lin Fan, smiling widely. "Who else?" He turned to the crowd.

The disciples below the stage looked up in hesitation. They were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sect, but no one wanted to be slaughtered by the madmen from the Sunshine Sect for nothing. They were trained to battle, not to be meat shields.

Senior Brother Lu had made himself clear: 10% survival. It wasn't a fair war, and they might die before they could even kill an enemy.

Some disciples particularly treasured their lives and didn't want to fight at all.

Senior Brother Lu sighed in disappointment. So there's nobody who is willing?

"Me."

"Me too."

…

Lu Qiming, Yin Xiaotian, Gao Dazhuang, and Zhang Long raised their hands and went on stage.

Lu Daosheng smiled proudly. That's the disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect!

But Lin Fan, on the other hand, was left speechless.

"You guys are going to come along?" Lin Fan stared at them helplessly. He was aware of how dangerous this trip was going to be, but he was immortal and also prepared to play dead. I am just going to escape after they pass.

But Senior Brother Lu and the rest aren't immortal. They will be dead if they're killed.

And none of them look willing. Did they raise their hands because of me?

"Why would we be afraid if Junior Brother Lin isn't?" Lu Qiming answered. "I owe you my life too. So why not die together?"

Tears glossed Lin Fan's eyes. Are you an idiot?

How the heck am I going to escape if you come with me? You're ruining my plans and preparing to guilt trip me for the rest of my life?

Why did I meet such people?

"Dazhuang must assist his friend in need," Gao Dazhuang replied sheepishly.

Yin Xiaotian shrugged. "I'm here because Dazhuang is here."

"I admire you, so I want to make friends with you," Zhang Long replied.

Lin Fan wanted to facepalm badly. Where on earth am I? I live my life alone and you are saying such things? It's so idiotic.

And yet, I'm touched. Do you know that?

Lu Daosheng looked toward the crowd. "Any more?"

Lin Fan sighed. What should I do now? Go with just these few? That would be suicidal! He took a deep breath and stepped forward, looking at the crowd with fury in his eyes.

"My senior brothers and sisters, it might only be a 10% chance of survival, but it's all worth it. Those in Tianfeng City are our relatives – our loved ones. What do you think the consequences of those insane people getting into the city will be?

"I am sure that all of you are aware of what the Sunshine Sect people are like. Are you willing to see your wives humiliated or your loved ones turned into mincemeat? I can't, so I am here."

Lin Fan yelled at the disciples. C'mon. Join.

Lu Daosheng turned to Lin Fan, looking pleased. Wow. He's a smart one. If he survives, I am going to nominate him when we get back.

With a mindset like that, he will surely reach the top of the world.

However, an awkward situation happened.

"I don't have relatives at Tianfeng City."

Which idiot is this? Lin Fan gritted his teeth.

Lu Daosheng felt like he was about to blow his top. No volunteers? Are they forcing me to do a random pick?

Lin Fan coughed and shook his head. "I don't know who said that, but what I'm sure of is that, if we can't secure Tianfeng City, then the Sunshine guys will go on to invade other cities. How do you know the next city won't be your hometown?

"Imagine that your wives are humiliated and your parents turned into mincemeat. What are you going to do if you are unlucky and your wives have to bear their kids? Is that something you could close an eye to?"

Luckily, Lin Fan did not waste his breath.

"No. I am joining."

"Me."

One by one, the disciples raised their hands.

Many people responded to the threat of wives bearing the enemies' kids and their parents being turned into mincemeat.

Their hatred for the Sunshine Sect was also not a one-day thing. They hated them the most among all the enemy sects.

Because back when Emperor Yanhua overthrew the brutal tyrant, the Sunshine Sect invaded their territory and ravaged many cities. They had held this hatred with them for a long time.

The hatred was still deep in their hearts now.

Even though he was quite coarse, Lu Daosheng turned Lin Fan pleased.

Lin Fan watched the disciples volunteer happily.

Soon, they had a thousand disciples.

All of them were full of anger and had no regrets.

They knew that they were about to die, but they feared nothing now.

"Lin Fan," Lu Daosheng called out.

"Senior brother, disciple is here." Lin Fan stepped out.

"You are now in charge of this movement. All disciples shall listen to Junior Brother Lin's instructions. Those who rebel will be stripped of their cultivation and kicked out of the sect," Lu Daosheng instructed.

"Yes."

Everything was ready.

Lin Fan stared at the crowd and furrowed his eyebrows. How am I going to escape if I have to lead the team?

This is troublesome.

But I don't have time to think about this. He waved his hands to the volunteers.

"Let's set off."

The crowd followed behind Lin Fan and walked off.

Lu Daosheng watched them leave in worry, but there was no time for him to do so. The real battle only just started.

…

"Junior Brother Lin, well said." Lu Qiming smiled.

Lin Fan shook his head and smiled thinly. "Nah, it was nothing much."

Under the blazing sun, Lin Fan and the rest stopped on a road and took out the map.

"Junior Brother Lin," Lu Qiming said, "According to news, the Sunshine Sect disciples will pass through this route."

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded while scanning the place. There were trees on both sides of the road, enough to hide the troops. "Senior Brother Lu, hide at the side of the road and attack when they pass."

Lu Qiming's eyes shone. "Junior Brother, that's a good idea!"

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly. That's a good idea? What else would we do? Stand here and wait to die?

"What about you, Junior Brother Lin?" Lu Qiming asked.

"My stomach hurts. I'll excuse myself first." Lin Fan clutched his stomach.

If I do not escape given such a chance, I must be an idiot.

"Junior Brother, be careful. Shout if there's anything," Lu Qiming said.

"Be at ease." Lin Fan nodded. I shall leave now. There's no more time for me to waste.

"Hehe, I have looked into it, there's a route in the back that I can use to leave safely."

At the Sunshine Sect's troop:

"Senior Brother, if we use the main route, there will surely be Magnificent Flame Sects disciples to stop us. I might want to send them to hell as badly as anyone, but our aim is to attack Tianfeng City and take away all the resources, so we should take the route in the back."

"Makes sense. Pass the message down to all the disciples. We will take the route in the back."

"Yes."

…

As Lin Fan made his way out, he stopped in his tracks, worry written all over his face.

"Oh man. I've only here for a few days, yet I met so many idiots. Why were they so nice to me? It would've been easier if they did not volunteer for this. How are they going to survive if they meet the Sunshine Sect people?"

I'm righteous, smart, and the nicest guy you could ever find, so how could I leave the senior brothers who were so nice to me to just die? I can't live on with this guilt.

"Damn it. Such a tough life." Lin Fan rolled his eyes and did a U-turn. No matter how it turns out, I can't just leave them there.

Right at this moment, a voice rang out nearby.

"There's a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple right here!"

Lin Fan turned to take a look.

And the scene shocked him; a troop of Sunshine Sect disciples was currently right in front of him.

"Oh my!"

Why are these guys over here?

Aren't they supposed to be on the main route?

"Kill this dog!" the Sunshine Sect disciples yelled, raising their weapons and running toward Lin Fan, not giving him a chance to make himself clear.

"Wait, let me talk!" Lin Fan yelled.

Report chapter

Nuggets!

You said that you will take the main route, why on earth are you right here?

Do you not have ears? I said to wait! You uncultured sausage! Where's your respect?

A big-sized Sunshine Sect disciple grabbed his 9-ringed broadsword and dashed toward Lin Fan, ready to slash him in half.

"Talk after you're dead."

Sword light lit up the place while the rings collide with each other, making noises. The Sunshine Sect disciple was so fierce that he would surely slash someone in half.

Lin Fan looked up in anger. What is he trying to do? Kill me as soon as we meet? Impolite dude!

He opened his hand, and with a bang, his arm grew in size instantly. Light could be seen on his palm, going toward the broadsword.

As if slashing down on a rock, the broadsword was stuck and could not move further.

Lin Fan smiled in glee. After getting to Body Tempering Stage Five, Lin Fan's body was as strong as a rock. This trash wants to kill me? He must be dreaming!

He smacked the Sunshine disciple hard on his body.

A strong force gushed toward the disciple and his eyes opened wide in shock, not expecting Lin Fan to be this strong. He opened his mouth to shout at Lin Fan, but only blood flowed out of his mouth.

Lin Fan sneered and stepped on this disciple before looking at the rest. "I asked for you to hear me out, but you were the ones that didn't want to."

The disciples who were about to go against Lin Fan watched the scene, flabbergasted.

"How could this be? Senior Brother is an elite of Body Tempering Stage Four and he has his 9-ringed broadsword with him, how could he be defeated so easily?"

"Did you hear that sound? He's as strong as a rock. That's a sign he is in Body Tempering Stage Five. He is a powerful guy!"

Body Tempering Stage Five is considered powerful?

They should start expanding their knowledge.

Lin Fan stepped on the disciple and stared at the crowd, doing a quick headcount. Oh my, around two thousand people? I wonder if there are elites among them.

By elites, this guy under my feet is obviously excluded. He's just an idiotic potato.

But I can't regret it now even if I'm slightly afraid.

I shouldn't show any fear.

Lin Fan put his hands behind his back and stepped on the disciple harder, watching the crowd sternly. "Who's the leader? I just want to have a talk."

Suddenly, a man in green walked out. His eyes were thin, and he resembled a fox.

"Magnificent Flame disciple, what do you wish to talk about?" He had a deep voice, and he was currently observing Lin Fan.

This Magnificent Flame Sect disciple is at least in Body Tempering Stage Five.

But why is there only him? Are the others hiding in the back, ready to ambush us?

Why am I so unlucky? Suddenly appearing here when they said were taking the freaking main route.

I must stay calm.

Lin Fan coughed and looked at them seriously. "You wanted to kill me just like that, and you did not even ask for my motive! What if I was here to defect to your side? How could I possibly give you the information now?"

With this situation, I can finally escape.

Lu Qiming and the rest should be safe since all the enemies are here.

As for Tianfeng City, that has nothing to do with me. I should escape as soon as I can.

"Senior Brother, beware. He might be lying," a disciple turned to the man in green and whispered before glaring at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was currently stepping on his brother.

His brother was one of the stronger ones in their group, but Lin Fan was stepping on him so hard that he could not even retort.

Qiu Li, the senior brother, raised an eyebrow. I don't believe this kid can play any tricks. We have two thousand people, which is more than enough to kill him.

Moreover, we have tons of disciples that are in Body Tempering Stage Five, and I'm in Body Tempering Stage Eight, about to break through to Body Tempering Stage Nine.

Killing him is no harder than killing an ant.

However, since he said he has an idea of defecting to our sect, then I can leave him alive and perhaps get some useful information out of him, which will get me rewarded when I return.

Qiu Li plastered a smile on his face and nodded. "Okay, as long as you mean what you said, join us and provide me with useful information. Not only will I let you live, I will also grant you a position among the Sunshine Sect's disciples."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "No, I think you got me wrong. That was a hypothetical, what I actually meant was that I am just a passerby who has absolutely nothing to do with the Magnificent Flame Sect. Can you just pretend to not see me? I'll leave immediately and promise to not bring you trouble."

Qiu Li's face fell in no time, and he glared at Lin Fan angrily. "Playing tricks with me, huh?"

"No, I'm not doing that at all. I'm really just a passerby. You do whatever you want, and I'll leave quietly and give this guy back to you." Lin Fan looked at him seriously.

Qiu Li did not expect to be tricked by a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. He gritted his teeth and burst in anger. "Kill him!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked at him in anger.

"You chicken nuggets, why do you like to kill so much?

"Damn it. If you can manage to kill me, I'll take your surname!" Lin Fan grabbed the 9-ringed broadsword and cut the disciple below his feet in half.

Points 40

Eh?

Killing one of these guys gives 40 points? Wow.

What would I be afraid of now? I am immortal, at most I'll just go one on one with you all.

The Sunshine Sect disciples encircled Lin Fan within no time. Lin Fan might not have been trained in martial arts, but as a Body Tempering Stage Five cultivator, his raw power was not something that should be overlooked.

Points 20

Points 10

Lin Fan realized that killing different people would give him different numbers of points. Must be because of the different cultivation levels.

"Points: 100. Eligible for a lottery draw."

"Draw, right now!"

Lin Fan's greatest wish was to escape. He never wanted to waste his time with these idiots in the first place.

But with the situation right now, if I don't make use of it, then I must be brainless.

"Points – 100."

"Bronze Lottery: A Tang Dynasty secret weapon, storm flower needles (Area: 5 x 5).

Lin Fan slashed a disciple's head off and rolled his eyes. What rubbish did I just get?

How on earth did these needles appear in my hand?

As he was going against too many opponents right now, he just threw the needles in desperation.

Why would the Sunshine Sect disciples take note of them? They ignored such small things completely.

And a bloody scene unfolded right in front of him.

Needles flew toward the disciples in the area stated, and shrieks could be heard as blood splattered everywhere.

…

Within no time, he accumulated 720 points.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up. Wow, this is dope.

Continue to draw!

"Points – 100"

"Bronze Lottery: Chinese 82-2 model grenade."

…

Qiu Li watched his disciples die under Lin Fan's hands one by one. He turned red with anger and jumped up, coming toward Lin Fan.

"Die!"

Boom!

Lin Fan felt his blood boiling, and he was unable to counterattack. I'm just a Body Tempering Stage Five. This madman in front of me is no doubt stronger than me.

I nearly died because of that.

Pui!

Lin Fan vomited out fresh blood.

The grenade flew out of his hand and into the air.

Lin Fan's heart sank. He tried to reach out for it but to no avail. Thus, he came up with a different idea. "Oh no, my special Emperor Earth Star Border Calming Pill! My only chance to break through!"

Qiu Li did not pay attention to the grenade, but when he heard the name, he looked up, surprised.

That must be a precious treasure. The name sounds extremely powerful.

Especially the words, "Earth Star Border" have sparked my interest.

He jumped up and caught the grenade.

He was now no longer scowling. Instead, he was smirking at Lin Fan.

Qiu Li stared at the odd-looking metallic ball in his hand that was green in color with white lines drawn across it. Surprise was written all over his face.

Seeing how anxious Lin Fan looked, Qiu Li knew that it was a good item.

"Give it back." Lin Fan glared at Qiu Li angrily.

"Give it back?" Qiu Li sneered. "Impossible. Whatever is in my hands is mine."

Lin Fan gritted his teeth. "It's nothing good. It's actually quite useless."

"Hehe, no matter what it is, it's still mine." Qiu Li grinned. This must be a precious treasure. Who would have thought that I would be able to get such a great gift on this trip?

"Speak up. Tell me what it is. If you don't, then I'll have to take your life, but if you do, I will let you live."

Lin Fan turned green and looked at Qiu Li pitifully. "I beg you, please return it to me or you will regret it."

"Haha."

Qiu Li burst out in laughter. "Regret? I, Qiu Li, do not know what regret is. What makes you think that you are so great that you could make me regret anything? Speak up or I'll send you to hell."

It's a package, and the pill must be inside. I have observed it, but I have no idea how to open it. If it's such a secure packaging, then whatever's inside must not be a simple item!

I could open it by force, but I do not want to damage it accidentally. Why else would Lin Fan still be around?

"Don't kill me, please," Lin Fan stammered.

Qiu Li smiled at him, pleased. "Oh, okay, but you need to tell me what's inside."

A glint of hope could be seen in Lin Fan's eyes. "Do you mean it?"

"I, Qiu Li, never go back on a promise. I swear to god that I will not kill you." Qiu Li put up his hand and swore, grinning.

As soon as I find out the way to open this up, I'll just get my disciples to end him.

Lin Fan bit his lips. He pondered for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Okay, I'll speak. That is my heirloom…. Eighty years ago, my grandpa saved the life of a powerful individual. He was grateful for my grandpa's help, so he left three of those items behind before he left. After my grandpa took some, he immediately broke through to the Earth Star Border Realm. He was the best among his generation too, but sadly…"

Lin Fan started spouting nonsense.

Qiu Li's eyes lit up upon hearing the story. He was excited and couldn't wait to get it open. But that trash standing right in front of me still hasn't gotten to the point!

"Enough, I want to know how to open it."

"Wait." Lin Fan raised a hand. "Please hear me out, so that you will remember my grandpa's legend if you become an elite later."

But Qiu Li could wait no more. There's no way I'll hand this over to the sect leader or anything. I'll take it myself and become an elite!

It wasn't an easy task to break through to the Earth Star Border Realm from the Body Tempering Realm.

The difficultly could not be expressed by words. One must experience it themselves.

But with such a precious treasure, how hard could it possibly be?

It's such a pity.

Two pills have already been taken. This stupid nugget!

Qiu Li gave Lin Fan a death glare upon realizing that.

"You just need to pull the ring attached to it and it will unlock itself after a few seconds. It's a precious treasure after all. But if you are afraid that I'm lying, then I could do it for you." Lin Fan was afraid that Qiu Li would be smart enough to guess that the grenade was a dangerous item, thus he volunteered to open it for him.

"Hehe, open it for you? Don't think I am not aware of what you are thinking. Trying to swallow the pill before your death, right?" Qiu Li laughed. If I did not know what he is thinking, I would've been dead long ago!

Lin Fan's face changed, and he yelled at him. "You're going back on your promise!? You said that you would not kill me!"

"Haha." Qiu Li was currently in a good mood upon getting his hands on the "precious treasure." "I won't, as I have sworn, but my disciples never said that they wouldn't do anything."

"You…!" Lin Fan looked at him in fury. He's actually quite smart, knowing how to play with words like that.

Qiu Li pulled the ring and there was a clicking sound. He stared at the grenade and waited for something to happen.

The disciples started to crowd around him, eyes filled with anticipation. "Senior brother, could you let us take a look too?"

"Yes, but you can only look. It's mine." Qiu Li glared at them.

"Yes, junior brothers understand. We only want a look. Only senior brother is worthy of this precious pill."

The crowd gathered excitedly. The name "Emperor Earth Star Border Calming Pill" sounded extremely powerful. It's a long name, but aren't all powerful things equipped with such a long name?

Senior Brother will soon break through to the Earth Star Border Realm. How I wish I could too.

The group stared at the grenade with their doe eyes.

How will it look?

Lin Fan looked at them in anticipation.

"Exploded… blast these idiots to their death."

…

Back on the main road, Lu Qiming looked toward where he last saw Lin Fan. "Why is Junior Brother Lin not yet back?"

"I have no idea," Zhang Long replied. "Did he get into trouble? And why are the Sunshine Sect disciples not here yet?"

"Did Senior Brother Lin run off cause he was scared?" Some disciples suspected him.

"Shut your mouth. Junior Brother Lin is not somebody like that. If you continue to speak nonsense, I'll slap you." Lu Qiming glared at them.

Bang!

Just then, they heard an explosion.

The crowd turned pale.

"Oh no, that's where Junior Brother Lin went. Let's go." Hearing that sound, Lu Qiming panicked and went over with the crowd.

…

"Haha, idiots. I mean real idiots. Is this fun? Or exciting?" Lin Fan stood up. He was feeling dizzy because Qiu Li had just sent him flying, but it was too exciting for him to not take a look.

The Sunshine Sect disciples were all dumbfounded. An explosion suddenly took place, and their senior brothers were sent flying off.

Lin Fan was extremely happy.

The grenade killed many Body Tempering Stage Five and Stage Six cultivators.

"Wow, you survived?" Lin Fan stared at Qiu Li in shock. Wow, he is not dead even after that? He has lost an arm and is now covered in blood though.

Ooh!

Qiu Li vomited blood again.

"How does it feel?" Lin Fan asked, grinning from ear to ear. "How did that pill taste? I told you to not touch it or you would regret it, but you turned a deaf ear to me. How do you feel right now?

"I, Lin Fan, am not like a mouse. I do things justly and honorably. I told you that it was dangerous and you would regret it, but you chose to not listen. Who am I to blame?"

"You…" Qiu Li stared at Lin Fan with his bloodshot eyes. He never expected that he would be tricked.

If he was not a Body Tempering Stage Eight cultivator, he would be like his other junior brothers who had turned into ashes right now.

"Catch him! I am going to torture him to death!" Qiu Li commanded weakly.

Lin Fan realized that the situation wasn't in his favor right now. I need to die.

He then waved his hands and snickered. "No need for you all to do anything. I, Lin Fan, will never die by your dirty hands!"

Lin Fan prepared to commit suicide. I will then revive and run off as soon as they leave. How smart am I?

He placed the broadsword on his neck, ready to end his life.

"Junior brother, don't! Senior brother is here." Lu Qiming came over. They didn't expect to hear such things as soon as they arrived. Some were so touched that they even burst into tears.

Especially those who thought that Lin Fan was running off. They were feeling guilty. They never would have thought that their Senior Brother Lin would rather commit suicide than die under the hands of the Sunshine Sect disciples.

Now, they were all in awe, yet ashamed of themselves.

"Holy hell!"

Lin Fan did not know whether he should laugh or cry.

Why? All I want is to run away!

It was about to succeed, but why on earth are you here now?

The Sunshine Sect disciples outnumbered them, but the Magnificent Sect disciples weren't fearful. Instead, after hearing Lin Fan's words, they were more than ready to fight.

"Kill!"

Yin Xiaotian used a sword as his weapon. Within the blink of an eye, Yin Xiaotian jumped up like a roc and slashed a few disciples on their throats in an instant.

"Great job, Senior Brother Yin! Great skills!" Gao Dazhuang yelled as his veins popped out like they were about to burst out of his skin the next minute. He walked to the Sunshine Sect disciples like a monster and sent them flying with a punch.

"Senior Brother Gao, that was dope!" Lin Fan clapped. What do you ants think now, huh?

Gao Dazhuang turned around and smiled sheepishly. "Watch me, I have even more powerful skills!"

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were all enraged and rushed toward the Sunshine Sect disciples.

There might've been more Sunshine Sect disciples than Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, but seeing how badly hurt their Senior Brother Qiu Li was and how fierce the opponents seemed, they decided that escaping would be the best choice.

Qiu Li helped himself up. He vomited blood again while glaring at the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples in anger. He thought that they had secured victory, taking into consideration their large numbers, but things turned out unexpectedly.

The explosion killed many Stage Five and Stage Six disciples, giving the edge to the Magnificent Flame Sect in terms of overall combat effectiveness.

Lin Fan stood rooted to the ground. What's going on now?

Qiu Li gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Fan. He tried his best to quick his pace. I will be dead if I stay here any longer.

Son of a monkey, I will never let you go.

Lin Fan could feel someone glaring at him in anger. When he looked over, he realized that it was Qiu Li glaring at him in anger while hiding amongst the crowd.

This made Lin Fan blow his top. You're in such a pitiful state right now and yet you're still concerned with me? I bet you don't know how to spell the word death.

He turned around to the rest of the Magnificent Flame Sect's disciples. "Brothers, that right there is Qiu Li, the leader of this troop. He said that he loves to eat babies, and he is going to eat all the babies in Tianfeng City! We should get rid of such a sick person."

Qiu Li shot up in shock. What the heck, he's framing me!

Eat babies?

You should be glad that I am not eating you!

Qiu Li turned red with anger and shot back. "This Lin guy, you wait and see. I'll soon send you to hell!"

"Oh, a one-armed injured man wants to kill me? This trash, let's see if you will even be able to leave this place today. Senior brothers, kill him!" Lin Fan laughed.

Lu Qiming and Gao Dazhuang turned to Qiu Li and nodded. "Let's go. He needs to stay behind."

Qiu Li couldn't believe his ears. If he was in his best condition, as a Body Tempering Stage Eight cultivator, he would take no more than a few seconds to end the opponents right in front of him. But with the state I am currently in, it's possible for a few Body Tempering Stage Four disciples to send me to my death!

He clenched his fist and took out a pill. He looked at it in pity and swallowed it down. I have no other choice.

Mortal middle-class medicine – Lighting Speed Pill.

It might've only been a Mortal middle-class medicine, but it was not easy to get a medicine that could raise one's speed. Qiu Li worked hard in his sect and exchanged for it at a huge price to use in times of danger.

It's so not worth it to use it right now.

We should have won, but I was too careless. This sucks.

Whoosh!

Qiu Li thought no more, and within no time, he was nowhere to be seen. He was so fast that it was as if he wasn't injured, leaving behind only a trace of his voice.

"Watch it, surnamed Lin!"

"Oh my!" Lin Fan laughed seeing that Qiu Li was now nowhere to be seen. I didn't expect that a monkey could run so fast.

Seeing Qiu Li take off, the other Sunshine Sect disciples started to scream and took off too.

However, the route was too small in size, so there was a jam.

"The one in front, go!"

"Don't kill me please."

"Watch out, idiots!"

Lu Qiming turned to Lin Fan and smiled. "Junior Brother, take a good rest. We will take care of the rest."

But why would Lin Fan rest now? His plans had already gone down the drain, so he should at least make use of the situation to gain more points.

"Senior Brother, do not mind me. I will do my stuff and you do yours." Lin Fan grabbed the 9-ringed broadsword tightly as he stared at the Sunshine Sect disciples. Those Body Tempering Stage Ones and Stage Twos will take me only one attack to kill.

"Junior Brother." Lu Qiming stared at him, shocked. "Your injuries…"

But Lin Fan ignored him and snickered, rushing toward the Sunshine Sect disciples with the broadsword. "Idiots, your grandpa is coming!"

The Sunshine Sect disciples who were unable to escape looked at Lin Fan in fear. Their legs turned into jelly and their faces turned pale as soon as they saw Lin Fan coming toward them. Now, they were at a loss on what to do.

"Please don't kill me."

"I surrender."

"According to the laws made by the Sect Union, you must treat people who surrender well."

But why would Lin Fan let them off? To him, they were all just a bunch of points.

"Treat you well? Like I care about your surrender."

Lin Fan might've been seriously injured, but he was still able to send some of these trashes to their death.

Killing disciples of lower cultivations wouldn't give him many points, but with so many of them here, the numbers would start to add up.

Lu Qiming watched Junior Brother Lin kill dumbfoundedly. He's badly injured, yet he's still so strong. That's incredible.

Lin Fan had a lot of fun while slashing the disciples to their deaths. He could slash the weaker ones in half with one swing.

Moving so vigorously while so badly injured, Lin Fan vomited blood.

But why would Lin Fan bother about that? It doesn't even hurt, so why not?

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Fan saw Lu Qiming taking down a disciple. As he was about to chop his head off, Lin Fan yelled, "Senior Brother, let me! That trash scolded me, and I would be unhappy if I don't send him to hell personally."

"Okay," Lu Qiming answered and went off, leaving the disciple to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan grinned from ear to ear and went over to him.

Wow.

Killing a Body Tempering Stage Four trash makes me so happy, especially those points.

Just then, he realized that Gao Dazhuang was going against a Body Tempering Stage Six disciple.

They might be in the same stage, but Gao Dazhuang obviously had the upper hand.

Gao Dazhuang gave him a hard punch.

Crack!

The shattering of bones spanned across the whole area.

The disciple's ribs were broken. He dropped down to the ground in pain while vomiting blood.

When Gao Dazhuang prepared to give him another attack, he could hear Junior Brother Lin yelp.

"Senior Brother, let me! That trash scolded me. I can't rest in peace if I don't kill him personally."

Come on, a Body Tempering Stage Six can't be wasted. I should kill them with my own hands!

"Okay," Gao Dazhuang answered and left, leaving Lin Fan to take revenge.

Lu Qiming stared at Lin Fan and furrowed his eyebrows. Wow. How many of them offended him?

Why does it seem like every one of them here has?

"Die, trash!" Lin Fan stabbed him in a vital area, which sent the disciple to his death within no time, not wasting more of Lin Fan's energy.

As Lin Fan was preparing to kill more, he noticed that there were no more Sunshine Sect disciples left for him to increase his points.

"Darn it. They're fast, huh?" Lin Fan rolled his eyes. He thought about Qiu Li, who escaped. If I could've killed him, how much would I have earned?

Pui!

All of a sudden, Lin Fan vomited blood.

This was not for show. His body was seriously injured.

Lin Fan knew how he could settle this; he only needed to commit suicide, and he would be fine once again. But how should I do it now?

I can only try to make my way back.

"Junior brother, are you alright?" Lu Qiming went up and held Lin Fan with worry.

The other disciples crowded around him. All of them looked at Lin Fan in awe right now. He's so badly injured yet he tried to kill them without fear!

I'm so touched. I respect Senior Brother Lin and his mindset so much!

Lin Fan waved his hand and smiled. "Haish, it's just a small injury. If I didn't even have any injuries on me, then as a man, I would be a living joke."

Hearing that, the crowd looked at him in awe.

"Waaaaaa!"

Some disciples ended up crying.

"Senior Brother Lin is so strong! Look at his chest and then compare it to ours."

"If it was me, I would have died or cried!"

"Respectable."

Lin Fan smirked, happy to hear the praise.

Lu Qiming was extremely pleased to have such a junior brother. Just as Junior Brother Lin says, he's a real man.

"Are you okay, Junior Brother?" Lu Qiming asked worriedly.

Junior Brother may seem powerful, but it was an intense fight. I'm afraid that Junior Brother's injuries may worsen.

Lin Fan smiled weakly and replied, "I'm fine."

I would just look weak if I replied with, "I'm not fine."

Haish, what luck is this? I just want to escape from this place, but why am I never given a chance?

Oh lord, please. Meeting with that trash unexpectedly here is already very bad, yet I am unable to escape after I had it all planned out?

Pui!

Lin Fan looked at the blood on his hand. Another mouthful of blood? How seriously injured am I?

"Oh no, no, I am going to faint." With a fall, he fainted.

Lu Qiming went forward to grab Lin Fan. "Let's go back now."

Yin Xiaotian stepped forward with a pill. "Let Junior Brother Lin take this to stabilize himself."

…

Lin Fan opened his eyes after some time. The skies were already dark; it was probably already past midnight.

He felt that something was on the side of his bed. It was Lu Qiming. Seeing that Lin Fan had sat up, he grabbed his hands in glee. "Junior Brother, how are you feeling?"

There's a problem with that question.

I can't even feel pain, so how would I know how I am feeling?

But seeing Lu Qiming staring at him with genuine concern in his eyes, Lin Fan smiled weakly and nodded. "Okay, much better now."

Lu Qiming heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Junior Brother, you have been seriously injured, and you nearly died, according to the doctor. He even said that it's a miracle that you survived. It's all thanks to the sacred medicine that Senior Brother Yin gave. That saved your life."

"Ah, so it's like that." Lin Fan gulped. If I had died right in front of them and revived after 10 seconds, it would've been extremely awkward and a tough situation to deal with.

But it's a surprise that Senior Brother Yin would feed me the sacred medicine. Even though I have no idea what it is, it should be something precious.

"Senior Brother, it's getting dark. I am feeling better now. You should get some rest too," Lin Fan said, smiling.

"I am fine, Junior Brother." Lu Qiming did not want to leave yet. He was still worried about Lin Fan's health.

However, Lin Fan wished that he would leave immediately. How am I going to commit suicide if he doesn't leave?

No matter how good that medicine is, it's not like it can make me recover in an instant.

I feel so tired now, and my body feels weird.

"It's okay, Senior Brother. It's a crucial time right now, and I am fine." Lin Fan smiled and repeated himself.

Lu Qiming protested no more and left.

"Junior Brother, rest well. Call me if you need anything," he said before going off.

After Lin Fan was sure that Lu Qiming had left, Lin Fan got off his bed to stretch. This feels weird, I should do something about this.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Fan saw the 9-ringed broadsword on the table. He rolled his eyes.

"Which idiot brought this back? It's just a random weapon that I picked up, and they thought it was mine?"

But this was not the time for him to focus on that. He picked up the 9-ringed broadsword and slashed it across his throat.

Lin Fan sighed. Am I too violent? Killing anyone, even myself, who disagrees with me. How would people feel about me if they knew?

Lin Fan lay on the floor, dead.

And the two lotteries during the battle both gave him great prizes too.

But this is telling me that it's not 100% that I'll win a prize.

Oh god, a hundred points are now gone.

"Damn it." If I had the opportunity, I would surely slash the guy who created this in half. How dare you cheat me?

Whatever, I'll let you go this time. Let's continue.

I'll take the 300 one.

Points -300

Silver lottery: A Mortal skills creation guide book.

"???

"What the hell? 300 points and all you give me is this?

"No, wait… Mortal skills creation guide book? Isn't that really excellent?"

Wait, there's a legend that only creating a set of skills will turn you into an elite. Only by doing so can one reach the top of the world.

All of a sudden, Lin Fan's eyes shone.

This is such a treasure! It might only be a Mortal skills creation guide book, but it's not to be underestimated.

Even an Earth Star Border cultivator can't create their own Mortal skills.

Only with enough cultivation, knowledge, and experience can you do so.

Lin Fan's hands trembled in excitement. I'm so excited!

Wow, Lady Luck must be on my side.

He flipped open the book with excitement.

There might only be one page, but it will surely give me a surprise.

Suddenly, Lin Fan blinked his eyes to confirm what he was seeing.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

There were only a few sentences in the book.

"There are numerous skills in the world, but we are unable to create something out of nothing. The easiest way to create is to find a technique and refine it. If you are daring, you can repeat it a few more times. You will succeed one day."

After Lin Fan finished the book, it turned into a ray of light and went into his body.

"I…" Lin Fan clenched his fist, turning red in anger. His breathing turned rapid, and he exploded.

"Darn it! What on earth!? What 'daring'!? Go and die! Oh my lord!"

"Return my 300 points!"

Lin Fan immediately gave up on the Mortal skills creation guide book. It made no difference whether he had it or not. Luckily, he still had 700 points left, so he could continue drawing.

The lottery draw was an addictive thing.

Lin Fan wasn't a gambling addict, but he had gotten many interesting prizes from his previous draws, so he was rather excited.

"Let me draw another one that costs 100 points."

Points -100

Bronze lottery: Thank you, please try again.

"Darn it!"

Lin Fan felt his heart hurting. They are so cruel! "Thank you, please try again" twice in a row? How hard is it for me to earn prizes?

Another 100 points gone. My heart is bleeding!

Do you know how hard I worked for those? How can you treat me like this?

Damn it. I'll take the 300 one, is that okay?

"Okay, two at once."

Points -300

Points -300

Silver lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Lin Fan did a double-take. You're about to die. What do you mean by, "Thank you, please try again."? Are you trying to cheat me?

"Okay, okay… give me back my points!"

But what could Lin Fan do? He had already wasted the points.

He sighed, not wanting to even see the next prize. I might vomit if the "Thank you" thing comes out.

Silver lottery: Mortal high-class refinement medicine – Liger Pill

"Eh?"

Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock. Tears flowed down his cheek in happiness. Thank you, God.

If I see another "Thank you," I might not dare to draw ever again in my life.

Thankfully, Lady Luck decided to help me. It might be only one pill, but it's better than nothing.

Seeing the pill in his hands, Lin Fan took it without hesitation. He didn't know what it was for, but it didn't matter.

"It's such a strong pill." As soon as Lin Fan took the pill, he felt his body temperature increasing rapidly. He started to train the Body Refinement Technique and fused it with the pill's effects.

Experience Points 50

Experience Points 50

…

When he got to 16000 experience points, the number stopped increasing.

Lin Fan opened his eyes in shock. He never expected that a pill would earn him so many experience points. He clicked on the plus sign without hesitation.

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Six ()

Experience Points: 0

Wait, my cultivation actually increased?

Lin Fan could feel changes taking place in his body. He got stronger and heard his bones cracking, getting stronger as well.

I'm at Body Tempering Stage Six! I can start to refine my bones.

"Hehe." Lin Fan grinned from ear to ear. This feels extremely good.

Anyways, taking a pill and refining it with the Body Refinement Technique seems like it can give me experience points too! I should try to get more pills.

Such a pity that I do not know how to make one on my own, or else I could truly make use of this.

The sky was still dark, but Lin Fan was feeling energized. In this world, you will get bullied if you are weak.

Just like the Magnificent Flame Sect. If you are too weak, you will be targeted by other sects, who will try to rob everything from you. If I am not strong enough, I will face the same consequences.

Lin Fan sat up cross-legged and started to practice the Body Refinement Technique again.

Experience Points 1

It might've increased by only a small amount each time, but it went quickly.

After some time, Lin Fan's body started to feel weak, as if he had used too much energy and needed some rest.

Had he not gone through what he did today, Lin Fan probably would take a rest, but now, there was no way he could.

"Sleep is for the weak. Time to party." Lin Fan grabbed the broadsword without any hesitation and slashed it across his neck.

Deadly and difficult? Lin Fan wasn't afraid at all.

Experience Points 10

Ten seconds passed.

Lin Fan opened his eyes. He felt refreshed, and the sleepiness was all gone.

"Immortality is indeed awesome." Lin Fan realized that his talent was great. It's like a bug; not only do I not feel any pain, I'm always in my best condition after reviving.

Cultivate. That's what I should do now.

Soon, it was morning.

Lin Fan stopped cultivating and checked on his Experience Points. There was about 8000 now.

Hard work is my only method.

I do not have any points. I need to earn them and continue investing in lottery draws.

The chance of winning might be slightly unfair, but the prizes are worth investing in.

Suddenly, Lin Fan heard footsteps.

Crack.

Lu Qiming walked in. Seeing Lin Fan getting down from the bed, he went up to stop him immediately. "Junior Brother Lin, take a good rest. You are still injured."

"I'm okay, Senior Brother." Lin Fan smiled. "The pill that Senior Brother Yin fed me is extremely dope! I'm feeling full of energy right now."

Lu Qiming turned to Lin Fan, unable to believe his ears. He was so seriously injured. How could he recover at such a fast speed?

But Senior Brother Yin's medicine isn't something that everyone has, it should be rare.

"Junior Brother Lin…"

Yin Xiaotian and Gao Dazhuang arrived. Yin Xiaotian held a lunch box in his hands and passed it to Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, drink up. I made this herbal soup for you. There might be ingredients missing, but it's good for your health."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lin Fan smiled.

Haish.

Why are you treating me so well? How can I bear to leave now?

But I have to. If I don't, how am I going to reach the peak of my life?

Just then, Zhang Long came too with another lunch box. Upon seeing the rest, he was slightly shocked. "You guys are here too?" Zhang Long then turned to Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, this is some turkey soup that I made with the turkey I just caught. Drink up, it can help boost your energy."

"Thanks, Senior Brother."

"I did not expect Junior Brother Zhang to be so caring." Yin Xiaotian smiled.

"Senior Brother Yin, we might not be close, but I treat Junior Brother Lin like one of my own." Zhang Long turned to Yin Xiaotian.

"Oh, really? I remember that, back at the training ground, Junior Brother Zhang seemed to have a few comments about Junior Brother Lin." Yin Xiaotian and Zhang Long weren't on good terms.

"You…" Zhang Long wasn't good with his words. He basically solved everything with his fists.

Gao Dazhuang stepped out in front of Yin Xiaotian. "You wanna go?"

Seeing this, Lin Fan jumped out to stop the fight.

Oh please, do not fight till your death in front of me.

Gulp!

Under the witness of both parties, Lin Fan had no choice but to drink up the two bowls of soup.

Wow, they're indeed useful. I feel energized right now.

"Junior Brother Lin has recovered at such a fast speed. I see that Senior Brother Yin's pill was indeed useful," Zhang Long said.

Yin Xiaotian nodded. "Junior Brother Lin is extremely healthy too, or else he wouldn't have healed so quickly even with a sacred medicine."

Lin Fan smiled proudly. "Of course, my body is made out of metal. I don't even flinch the slightest when I get injured. I am still able to remain lively the next day."

"Indeed a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. That's the spirit."

A deep voice rang across Lin Fan's room.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Fang." The crowd looked toward the door upon hearing the voice.

Lu Daosheng came into the room with Fang Qing, both wearing a smile on their faces.

Even though it came at a heavy price, they won the battle yesterday.

Fang Qing looked at Lin Fan and nodded. "Senior Brother Lu, Junior Brother heard about the incident that occurred yesterday. I never expected that Junior Brother Lin would be so brave that he would go against such a large number of Sunshine Sect disciples. He even chose to commit suicide than die under their hands."

Fang Qing could not believe that he had overlooked such a talent.

Hearing the praise, Lin Fan shook his head. "Nah, that wasn't really a brave act. But I'm really lucky that I survived yesterday."

"Junior Brother Lin did great yesterday. I will remember this," Lu Daosheng said. "After we return to the sect, I will report this to the sect leader. We value brave disciples."

Lin Fan smiled thinly. "Senior Brother, as a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, it's my job to protect our territory. I'm not doing it for rewards, that's just what a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple is supposed to do."

Really? Lin Fan rolled his eyes secretly.

Why are you only noting it down? Just reward me now. Some medicine would be nice.

Lu Qiming and the rest nodded. To them, what Lin Fan said made a lot of sense.

It was something that they might not be able to say themselves, but they took note of it. Junior Brother Lin must be knowledgeable.

"Junior Brother Lin should be feeling way better right now." Lu Daosheng turned to Lin Fan. "I was thinking that we should let Junior Brother Lin speak in front of all the disciples and spread his spirit. What do all of you think?"

Lu Qiming grinned. "That's great!"

Yin Xiaotian nodded. "Junior Brother Lin is courageous, we should let the sect know about it."

Lin Fan stared at them blankly. These idiots want me to make a speech?

"I don't think it's a good idea," Lin Fan replied humbly. How long have I been in this place, yet you want me to make a speech to the sect? So embarrassing.

I'm not prepared at all.

But Lu Daosheng did not give Lin Fan a chance to reject. "Alright, we should do it now. Our disciples have constantly been beaten during the war with the Sunshine Sect. We need to motivate them so they can go against the Sunshine Sect with the best of their ability."

Hearing that, Lin Fan knew that it was set. He actually somehow felt excited.

This is the first time in my life that I will be speaking in front of so many people.

But… someone help. What should I say?

…

On the training ground, Lu Daosheng sent an order down, gathering all the disciples.

The victory gave them a lot of encouragement, but they were also sad about the loss of their companions too.

Back at the sect, they cultivated and practiced all day. Even though there were some injuries and blood, it was peaceful. Only during the war did they realize how cruel life was. One might be here and gone the next day.

Lu Daosheng went on stage and looked down at the crowd. "Yesterday, we won the battle with the Sunshine Sect. It was a tough fight, and we lost some of our comrades during the battle. However, yesterday, the Sunshine Sect tried to raid Tianfeng City too. A thousand of our disciples were sent to fight the Sunshine Sect, and one of them, Lin Fan, went against the whole Sunshine Sect troop alone without fear. He was even prepared to commit suicide instead of dying under their hands. His courage and fearless spirit deserve to be recognized."

Lin Fan was slightly embarrassed by Lu Daosheng's praise, but he looked up with pride because, technically, Lu Daosheng was speaking the truth. I'm fearless indeed.

I wanted to run away, but who would have expected for me to fail?

The disciples below the stage turned to each other.

They heard about the battle yesterday.

The battle that was deemed as having a 10% survival chance turned out to be a huge victory for them. They had heard about Lin Fan too, but they didn't know what he looked like. He's so brave!

Lin Fan walked up the stage slowly.

Looking at the crowd below the stage, Lin Fan started experiencing a sense of the heebie-jeebies.

He coughed and looked at the crowd sternly.

"Dear junior brothers and senior brothers, I am Lin Fan."

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt many pairs of eyes staring at him in anticipation. Lin Fan felt slightly embarrassed.

They are looking at me in admiration!

He stood up straight. This is my time to shine, I must do my best.

But what should I say?

The training ground was in total silence as everyone present stared at Lin Fan, anticipating his speech.

Lin Fan gulped seeing their gazes. Oh lord, I don't even know what to say, and now, I'm forced to meet with this awkward silence.

I can't just speak nonsense because that won't stun the crowd. But what should I say in order to achieve a good effect?

Think, Lin Fan, what do people on Earth say to leave everyone in shock?

Gao Dazhuang scooted closer to Yin Xiaotian. "What is Junior Brother Lin trying to do?"

Yin Xiaotian did not even take his eyes away from Lin Fan. "He's trying to get into the mood. Just wait and see."

"Oh… oh." Gao Dazhuang nodded. Indeed, he's Junior Brother Lin; he will surely present a stunning speech.

On the other hand, Lin Fan finally thought of his speech. He took a deep breath and looked straight at the crowd, turning the atmosphere solemn.

All of a sudden, everyone present felt it. They looked at Lin Fan with anticipation while waiting for him to continue.

"As disciples, we are obliged to protect our nation against the Sunshine Sect at all costs. Every inch of our homeland matters, and we won't give up no matter what obstacles we face. We must always be willing to sacrifice ourselves."

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, it's done. Whew.

But… the atmosphere is weird.

Why is the crowd so quiet? Was the speech not good enough?

Should I say something else? Like…

"I'll exchange my life for the sect.

"I'll sacrifice my all for the sect that I so deeply love."

And even more, but these declarations are all so depressing.

Just before Lin Fan was about to add something else, he heard a voice booming across the training ground.

"Well said!" Lu Daosheng's eyes were red. As an Earth Star Border disciple, he was here leading his fellow junior brothers out to war to protect his nation and sect. Lin Fan's words had touched him.

Lin Fan stared at him speechlessly. Say that earlier then, you are scaring me. I thought I said something inappropriate.

Report chapter

Chapter 15: Low-Key

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Lu Daosheng went on stage. He stared at Lin Fan so intensely that he was about to burn a hole in Lin Fan's head. His words have really touched me.

He might've been an Earth Star Border cultivator, but among the various sects, that wasn't valuable.

How many disciples were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sect? On the contrary, everyone happily enjoyed the benefits given for being part of the sect, making use of the sect as their stepping stone to reach the peak of their lives.

Lu Daosheng used to be just a martial artist in a dire state. Under a stroke of luck, he caught the eye of a Magnificent Flame Sect elder and was brought back to the sect. Lu Daosheng received teachings and benefited tremendously from the sect. Thus, when the war broke out, he stepped up, volunteering to lead the team and protect the nation when nobody dared to do so. Without the Magnificent Flame Sect, he would never have been where he was now and would never have all that he had today.

Today, he finally found a disciple who resonated with him. It was heartwarming for Lu Daosheng to hear Lin Fan's words.

"Great. That was well said." Lu Daosheng looked at Lin Fan, pleased.

Lin Fan smiled thinly. What was so good about it? There's so much that I haven't even said yet, but I doubt I'll need to now.

Saying too much might just shoot me in the foot instead.

Lu Qiming clapped, cheering for Lin Fan. "Junior Brother Lin, you're great!"

The other disciples were chanting, showing support to Lin Fan. "Protecting our nation, not giving in by a single bit!"

"Junior Brother Lin, is there anything else that you wanted to say?" Lu Daosheng turned to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shook his head. "Senior Brother Lu, that's all Lin Fan has to say."

What else would I say? With my eloquence, perhaps these guys will take their weapons and start slaughtering the Sunshine Sect if I were to say any more.

Besides, "Lin Fan" was part of this sect, so he would obviously have feelings for the Magnificent Flame Sect, but I'm just a passerby. Soon, I'll leave.

The world is huge, and I already had one chance, but I wasted it on that battlefield.

Under the crowd's gaze, Lin Fan went off stage.

Lu Qiming hurried over, giving him a pat on his back. "Junior Brother Lin, what you just said was so touching! It will be my motto from now on. I'll always keep your words in mind."

"Me too." Gao Dazhuang nodded. "It's our duty to sacrifice and work for the sect. If any of us are afraid, then our offspring will face the same torture from the Sunshine Sect too."

Hearing their praises, Lin Fan smiled thinly in response. What else could I say? As long as you are happy, it's fine.

…

In the Sunshine Sect:

Qiu Li managed to escape and return, half alive. When the Sunshine Sect leaders heard about the incident, all of them blew up. How could a sure-win battle end up like that?

"Senior Brother, Qiu Li is aware of my mistake, please forgive me!" Beads of sweat dripped down Qiu Li's forehead. His hands trembled as he looked up in fear.

He knew that he should've added, "Junior Brother deserves death" to the end of his sentence, but the last thing Qiu Li wanted was his life to be ended.

The man standing right in front of Qiu Li stared at him coldly, as if he was looking at a piece of trash.

"You're already crippled," the man answered. Qiu Li had lost an arm, and his empty sleeve was shaking lightly under the wind.

Hearing this, Qiu Li turned green with fear. He immediately dropped to the ground and kowtowed to the man while begging for forgiveness. "Senior Brother, spare me, spare me please…."

The man sneered and waved his hands. "Take him down and feed it."

Qiu Li's heart sank upon hearing him. I'm going to become the gigantic beast's food.

The gigantic beasts used for war were bred in a special way; they were products made by combining many different beasts and monsters. And now, Qiu Li would be a beast's dinner.

"No… please spare me, senior brother!"

But no matter how loud Qiu Li's cries were, the man had left, and he was dragged down by the disciples on the side.

To the Sunshine Sect, what was the use of sparing a cripple?

They might have turned a blind eye to Qiu Li under normal circumstances, but it was wartime right now, and he was nothing but a piece of trash that would potentially pull the sect down.

…

Lin Fan was feeling extremely great now.

He didn't know why, but it might've been the fact that he had just stood out in front of the crowd.

Back in his room, Lin Fan sat on his bed crossed-legged and started to cultivate. Cultivating had become Lin Fan's hobby recently. I can only be free if I am powerful.

Experience Points 1

The Body Refinement Technique was a must to practice for Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, but to Lin Fan, it wasn't enough.

Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and sat on his spot quietly.

Actually, I should give it a try.

Since I have that Mortal skills creation guide book, why not just try it?

Let me recall the Body Refinement Technique and take out the important parts.

After that, Lin Fan started cultivating again.

Let's try doing it a bit differently first.

I need to come up with a new set of skills.

Start!

All of a sudden, Lin Fan opened his eyes. Wait, extreme changes are taking place in my body!

My blood is starting to boil as if it's going to explode!

Suddenly, Lin Fan's skin bubbled.

Bang!

The bubbles exploded.

Experience Points 10

After ten seconds, Lin Fan woke up.

"Oh lord, what the heck? I just practice it a little wrong and explode? Does it need to be so serious?" Lin Fan muttered, shuddering in fear.

When he looked up, Lin Fan was left speechless.

Splatters of blood were all around the room. What is this…? What would I do if the senior brothers barge in?

"My god. This is not a safe place. I need to leave soon." Lin Fan sighed. Why do weird things always happen to me?

He found a piece of clothing and wiped the stains off the wall.

Done.

Lin Fan went out of the room immediately. I can't stay here anymore. If I stay here, then it will be impossible for me to create a skill set. Who knows how many more explosions I have to go through? How can I make sure that no one finds out?

How can I stay alive if I'm ever discovered?

I can't pretend to be dead forever.

I need to keep calm.

As Lin Fan secretly made his way out, he came across a few disciples, and they were all looking at him with respect and awe.

This made Lin Fan slightly embarrassed.

"Look, that's Senior Brother Lin."

"The one who made that shocking speech? Indeed not a normal person."

"My idol!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head. That's nothing worth talking about. He looked up and smiled at them before walking off at a fast speed.

But what Lin Fan didn't know was that he left the disciples in glee.

"See, Senior Brother Lin smiled at me!"

"Your sister. He was smiling at me."

The disciples started bickering. To both of them, their Senior Brother Lin was smiling at them.

Chapter 16: Self-Made Skill Set

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Chicken nuggets. I am going to cultivate, who in the world is smiling at you?

Senior Brother Lu and the rest were really nice, but given my situation, I have no other choice. It's good enough that I repay them by not doing anything bad to society.

Freedom.

Do you understand what that word means?

It means that I'll do whatever I want as long as it's legal.

Moreover, having to be in this unfamiliar world, all I hope is to survive.

Look at how many I have already killed in just a few days. If I was back on Earth, I would be in prison right now.

All I want is freedom – to leave this place and go on a trip to every part of this world before I figure out what to do next.

It's such a pity that I am unable to do so right now.

Lin Fan stopped at an isolated place. He was still in the area that was guarded by the Magnificent Flame Sect though; it was hard to leave the place unless one could fly.

With Lin Fan's speed, even if he could run, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Whatever, let's give it a try.

According to my experience, one will explode to his death if it fails.

Lin Fan took out his pen and started to record down the routes that he tried. The first step was correct, but there are eight main meridians in our bodies. Who would dare to say that they're able to make the right step every time?

Since he failed once, he would take another route.

Cultivate.

Lin Fan felt his blood boiling up, but in a less intense way. Yes! I have succeeded! For the third step, there are a hundred lesser meridians to choose from. I'll just pick a random one.

Bang!

His body exploded immediately.

Lin Fan could not feel pain, but he could not help but roll his eyes. What the heck? Are you nuts? Why must it be this dangerous?

How did anyone else ever successfully make it? What is the chance of succeeding in a single try? They would have exploded to death if they failed!

Experience Points 10

Lin Fan sighed. This is masochism! Since I possess immortality and am unable to feel pain, I must create a skill set, or else it would be a big embarrassment.

What Lin Fan was unaware of was that, among a human's meridians, some were not to be touched as it would be fatal. Anyone who was creating a skill set would definitely not touch these meridians.

Those who were able to create a skill set were all knowledgeable, experienced, and powerful. If they didn't meet these criteria, how could they create their own skills?

What Lin Fan was doing now was experimenting with different paths one by one. He was basically just brute-force guessing the most suitable way.

Lin Fan woke up after a moment. He might've been immortal, but constantly dying wasn't exactly pleasant. In fact, it was rather torturous in its own way.

But what else can I do?

Others learned and picked things up from their elders, but all Lin Fan could do was guess and find the most rudimentary way of creating a skill set.

The first and second step are alright, so now I just have to work on the third one.

Time flew past.

The paper was filled with Lin Fan's recordings. Lin Fan was pleased with how things were turning out.

"I'm lucky to have reached the fourth step. Let's work harder, I'm sure I'll be able to succeed soon." Lin Fan smiled in confidence. If I succeed, I will go down in history.

With all the experience he had gained, Lin Fan was confident that it would work out.

"Let's go."

Lin Fan felt his blood boiling, and there were changes taking place to his body.

"What the hell, oh my, stop. Oh lord." Lin Fan looked down and realized his chest was expanding. This is such a failure.

Even though Lin Fan could not feel the pain, he knew that his chest was expanding. He took the broadsword and killed himself without waiting for his chest to explode.

Experience Points 10

Tough life. This is such a tough life that it's not meant for humans.

Even so, Lin Fan was still excited about it because he believed that, with his self-created skill, he would be able to reach the top of the world.

Not to mention the lottery, which is basically a giant cheat.

What on earth are those prizes? If I didn't have the lottery, I would already be dead.

Bang!

Bang!

Sounds of explosions could be heard constantly.

If there were anyone around, they would have already jumped out of their skins.

Quite some time had passed.

Lin Fan was starting to get a bit dizzy. He had already forgotten how many times he had died.

All he knew was that he had ten thousand experience points currently.

So, I have died about a few hundred times?

"Let's go!" Lin Fan gave himself a pat and started to cultivate.

This was the only route left.

He could feel that many changes had taken place in his body – something that cultivating the Body Refinement Technique could not achieve.

All of a sudden, a line of words appeared on the Mortal skills creation guide book, which disappeared into his body.

"Undying Refinement of Bone: expansion of the body and indestructible bones. Experience Points 2

"Mortal middle-class."

"Oh my!" Lin Fan watched the words appear and heaved a sigh of relief.

It's so hard being me.

I have worked so hard and died so many times! Finally.

Lin Fan started to tear up.

How many times have I died? Could anyone withstand the pain I have been through?

But this isn't right.

Why is it not going the way I expected it to?

Cultivating it only increased my points by 2?

Oh my lord. This is so tough.

I need to work harder.

Lin Fan went back to cultivating with confidence. No matter what, he had already made it halfway through. I will surely get to greater heights!

Time flew past.

The sky was now dark.

Even so, Lin Fan never gave up.

I don't believe that continuously exploding can stop me!

…

Meanwhile, Lu Qiming had been looking for Lin Fan since noon. He had been waiting for his return, but it was now dark, yet he did not see Lin Fan anywhere. This made Lu Qiming start panicking.

Where is Junior Brother Lin?

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

And the place that Lin Fan was staying was dyed red with blood.

The piece of paper lying on the floor showed records of many cultivating routes, but none led to success.

"No, that's enough. I am about to vomit." Lin Fan could take it no more. After a day of experimenting and self-explosions that got Lin Fan nothing, he was extremely beat.

"I'll just cultivate with the Undying Refinement of Bone first and try out the rest later." Lin Fan comforted himself.

Well, at least there's an improvement, right?

Report chapter

Lin Fan stood up, grinning from ear to ear, but it felt oddly cold.

It then dawned on Lin Fan that his clothes were destroyed from the explosions. Now, he was naked. How can I go back like this?

Lin Fan looked around to search for materials to cover up, but there was nothing here other than grass and trees.

Back in the temporary camp of the Magnificent Flame Sect, Lu Qiming had been searching everywhere for Lin Fan, but there hadn't been any news of him, which worried Lu Qiming.

Different tragic scenarios kept playing in his mind.

What if he was captured by the Sunshine Sect and tortured by them?

Or what if he lost his way and bumped into a monster? What if the monster swallowed him?

As the images played in Lu Qiming's head, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Where are you, Junior Brother Lin!?" Lu Qiming yelled, making his fat shake. Determination could be seen in his eyes as he went off, continuing his search for Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, I'll find you. Wait for me!"

"Senior Brother, I'm right here," a faint voice came from a bush a distance away. Lu Qiming jumped up in glee and ran toward it.

"Junior Brother, are you alright?" Lu Qiming asked as soon as he saw Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shuddered under Lu Qiming's stare. "Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"

Lu Qiming's stare seemed lustful, making Lin Fan slightly awkward.

"Junior Brother, where are your clothes?" Lu Qiming asked.

Lin Fan definitely could not answer truthfully, thus he plastered on a frown and sighed. "How would I know? I just went for a bath, and when I came back, all my clothes were gone!"

"It's fine. As long as you are fine." Knowing that Lin Fan was safe, Lu Qiming heaved a sigh of relief. He only lost his clothes, and he's a guy… nothing could go wrong.

"Junior Brother, let's go back. I'll get you some clothes." Lu Qiming patted him and walked off, leading the way.

"But…" Lin Fan wanted to say more, but Lu Qiming was already gone. He increased his pace and tried to catch up.

On their way back, they met a group of female disciples.

Seeing Lin Fan, the girls started making a commotion.

"Isn't that Senior Brother Lin?"

Yesterday, Lin Fan's words warmed many hearts. He was soon deemed a real man among the girls.

Moreover, Lin Fan was in Body Tempering Stage Six; he was no doubt muscular and buff, which captured the girls' hearts.

Some even catcalled Lin Fan.

"Woohoo, Senior Brother Lin's in good shape!"

"What happened to him? Did he do something illegal?"

"Look at Senior Brother Lin, he's acting so feminine, like someone's wife!"

Lin Fan heard all the teasing, but out of all of them, looking like someone's wife made Lin Fan turn red in anger.

I'm somebody's wife?

This is unforgivable.

Ridiculous. I shall prove myself. Let's see if you guys will still belittle me!

"Ah!"

"Senior Brother Lin is a pervert!"

Shrieks could be heard, and within no time, the girls were all gone, blushing from embarrassment.

Lin Fan chuckled as he watched them run off. Dare to tease me, huh? You really do not know where you stand.

Hearing them, Lu Qiming looked back at Lin Fan. "Junior Brother Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Fan grinned from ear to ear and shook his head. "Nothing much, Senior Brother, let's get going."

…

Back at his room, Lin Fan finished changing, and he was currently sitting on his bed. That was so awkward. Oh my.

But hey, why isn't there a storage ring or anything similar?

If there were such things, I would never be shirtless.

Lu Qiming left shortly after chatting with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan then went back to cultivation.

I have created the Undying Refinement of Bone with my knowledge, blood, sweat, and tears! Now, who in the Body Tempering Realm can be my opponent?

Experience Points 2

Experience Points 2

…

Lin Fan's experience points increased at the speed of lighting, and it showed better results than the previous Body Refinement Technique that Lin Fan practiced.

In the Body Tempering Realm, cultivators could practice skills that mortals did, which were just regular martial arts basically, but that was useless to Lin Fan. To him, being strong was the only thing that mattered in the Body Tempering Realm.

I'm the man with immortality, what is there for me to fear?

It was now night. It was silent since everyone was sleeping, but Lin Fan was still cultivating. He was a hardworking guy. Being lazy now will only send me to my death.

Suddenly, Lin Fan heard sirens.

"Oh lord. Are we being attacked?" Lin Fan jumped up. We have been fighting constantly these past few days, it's too much! This siren is to inform us to prepare for war. The Sunshine Sect is a bunch of impatient trash.

"Junior Brother Lin, wake up!" He heard calls coming from outside, and the surroundings were lit up. Lin Fan opened his door to see that Lu Qiming and the rest were already waiting for him.

"Senior Brother, the Sunshine Sect is attacking us?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes. We need to gather right now. Remember to stay close to us this time. It's going to be a tough battle," Lu Qiming said, looking serious.

…

Lu Daosheng sat on his seat, scowling. "I see that the sect leader has already predicted the results. The Sunshine Sect wants to determine the result with this battle. Send the message down – win this battle at all costs."

Fang Qing nodded. "Yes. Be at ease, Senior Brother. We will make sure that no Sunshine Sect disciple steps in here with our lives."

The troops were gathered.

Lin Fan felt excited seeing such a big crowd.

Haha, under such conditions, I'll be able to run off later during the battle. If I don't, I'll bark like a dog in front of everyone.

It's going to be a big mess later, and my chance to run off is finally here.

Who would notice me?

Soon, all they'll care about will be how to survive.

They could hear an explosion coming from afar. The Sunshine Sect's troops had arrived.

Lin Fan glanced around.

Some disciples were shuddering in fear, while some were standing straight with determination written across their face.

As for Lin Fan, he was extremely calm. My chance is here.

Let me do some lottery draws.

I'm feeling good.

Chapter 18: A Chance

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

They were currently having a briefing right now. The instructions given were the same old things, and nobody was listening to them. What's the use of repeating all this now? Who would follow any of it during a battle when everyone is busy fighting for their lives?

All the disciples were currently talking among themselves.

"Are you afraid?"

"Of course. What about you?"

"Nah."

"That's great! Please cover me later. I'm shuddering in fear."

"Shut up."

…

Lu Qiming patted Lin Fan on his shoulders. "Junior Brother Lin, do not rush forth. Follow the troop closely and do not end up in the opponent's area."

Lin Fan was currently bouncing off the wall at the thought of freedom in a few moments' time. Wow, how great will it be to travel all around the world? "Be at ease, Senior Brother. You have to trust me."

Before Lu Qiming could reply with, "Of course I trust you," another explosion could be heard.

Lu Daosheng looked down at the crowd before turning to Fang Qing. "Fang Qing, it's all on you," he said. Lu Daosheng could see troops coming in from a distance away.

"Those uncultured thieves, Lu Daosheng will make sure that you die under my hands today," Lu Daosheng growled and disappeared on the spot. A few figures followed him.

Fang Qing's vision followed his senior brothers, eyes shining with passion. The Earth Star Border cultivators could move freely at lighting speed. He gulped as he stared at the scene taking place over there. However, that was not the battle that he should be concerned about.

Fang Qing's Body Tempering Stage Nine cultivation was nothing in comparison to the elites.

He turned to the battlefield that was right in front of him and waved his hands. "Let's get going."

Lin Fan was feeling anxious. How should I start later?

A few moments passed.

The disciples of both sects stood on the battlefield staring at each other, but nobody made a move.

"Senior Brother, what's going on now? When are we going to fight?" Lin Fan asked.

"Senior Brother Lu has not made a move yet," Lu Qiming answered.

It suddenly dawned on Lin Fan that they should wait for the seniors' actions. If they managed to sort things out or something, it would be awkward for the rest of them to be fighting.

Bang! A loud noise could be heard from afar.

"Kill!" Fang Qing yelled.

This brought Lin Fan back to reality. Oh lord, here we go. Lin Fan held up the 9-ringed broadsword. "My fellow brothers, follow me and let's kill this trash!"

"Yes! Kill the trash!"

"Follow Senior Brother Lin and kill the trash!"

"Junior Brother Lin…" Lu Qiming watched him leave, rooted to the ground. Did he take all my words as nonsense? Dashing in now is the equivalent of going straight to hell!

Yin Xiaotian and the rest were all in shock too. He immediately went up to Lu Qiming. "Did you not tell him?"

"I did!" Lu Qiming said, breaking out in cold sweat. "Do not rush forth." Did he not understand what that meant?

"Haish, this is fate."

…

Lin Fan was the first to rush up. He held his 9-ringed broadsword high up in the air while screaming, "Idiots, here comes your ancestor!"

Points 30

One down, and more points for me.

A Body Tempering Stage Three disciple dropped to the ground as Lin Fan's points increased.

Now, Lin Fan was on a killing spree. He slashed whoever he came across with his 9-ringed broadsword. I would be an idiot if I didn't kill you all!

The disciples who were following Lin Fan were all motivated to fight after seeing this scene. "Senior Brother Lin is so cool!"

"Let's kill this trash with Junior Brother Lin!"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. You're actually following me? You foolish people, following me will only lead you to your deaths. Why are you following a guy who's trying to run away?

But this is not the time for that. Let me hurry and get more points.

Points 40

Points 50

…

No matter what stage you're in, you will all become the same under my hands – dead meat.

Lin Fan felt that he was stronger than a normal Body Tempering Stage Six cultivator.

His blood boiled as his biceps expanded. Lin Fan was bursting with energy, and with a slash, his current opponent turned into a blood fountain.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Fan heard a cold voice next to his ears.

"It's not a good thing to chop my juniors as if they are vegetables."

A figure flashed past and stopped beside Lin Fan, pointing a dagger at him.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan dodged the attack. After realizing what the person had said, he frowned and rushed forth with his 9-ringed broadsword.

The Sunshine Sect disciple smirked and sheathed his dagger, blocking Lin Fan's attack with his hands.

All of a sudden, the blood drained from his face.

He stared at Lin Fan in fear as a wave of energy gushed through his body.

His blood started gushing to his throat.

Pui!

He vomited a mouthful of blood.

"How could this be?" the figure murmured, staring at Lin Fan with his jaw wide open. We are both of the same cultivation, why am I unable to block his attack?

"What a joke, Mr. Vegetable." Lin Fan sneered and slashed him in half.

Points 60

Lin Fan grinned. I like this, points going straight in my pocket.

To him, this battle was his chance to earn points so that he would have enough when he left later on.

I should give it a check.

Points: 2500

This should be enough for me to squander.

The war had escalated into an oddly fierce battle over time. There were hardly any intact corpses to be seen.

Lin Fan had been trying to gain points, which resulted in him dying the ground red with blood.

The disciples who were following Lin Fan were in awe. They looked up to their Senior Brother Lin. He's so powerful! He does not even frown even if he has a deep cut. That's a real elite.

Chicken nuggets, this is enough.

To Lin Fan, this amount of points was already enough for him. It's time to feign death.

"Die, you dog." A Sunshine Sect disciple saw Lin Fan and dashed over with his sword, wanting to pierce through Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes shone, and he smiled. Great timing.

Come kill me so I can leave.

"Be careful, Senior Brother!"

Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of Lin Fan, and the sword pierced them instead.

Lin Fan was rooted to the ground. What the hell are you doing?

Seeing that he did not manage to kill Lin Fan, the Sunshine Sect disciple looked slightly disappointed. He pulled his sword out and ran away, leaving behind him a trail of blood.

Lin Fan held the disciple who was only at Body Tempering Stage Three tightly. What should I do now? I would have been able to leave. Why did you take the attack for me?

"Why did you do that?"

The disciple looked at Lin Fan with respect. He opened his mouth to reply, but blood flowed out. "Senior Brother, you're my idol…. I can't let you die. You must live."

Lin Fan looked at him, dumbfounded. What on earth are your brains made out of? Bean curd? You can't sacrifice yourself for me even if I'm your idol!

I just want to leave, but why are you all not allowing me to do so?

Why!?

Why must you leave me with guilt?

Ah, damn it.

What should I do now? What should I do?

Why are you all filled with love, and not hatred or schemes?

Lin Fan gritted his teeth. "Junior Brother, I'll take revenge for you."

I would be inhuman if I just left like this now. I'll take revenge for him first at least.

"Senior…" The disciple lay on the ground. He raised his hand as if he was about to say something more.

But in Lin Fan's eyes, he was saying goodbye to him. Lin Fan felt himself tear up as he grabbed the broadsword, running toward the Sunshine Sect disciple who tried to kill him.

"Brother… get me the medicine," the disciple said in pain, but his senior brother was currently long gone. He endured the pain and took a bottle with a pill out from his pocket, stuffing it in his mouth.

"Luckily, I was not stabbed in any vital parts. Wow. My life is saved!" The disciple heaved a sigh of relief and lay on the ground, counting stars.

One!

Two!

I want to sleep.

Chapter 19: Lin "I Do Whatever I Want" Fan

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Lin Fan thought about the junior brother that took an attack for him, he felt extremely grateful.

Haish!

Even though I am immortal, he isn't aware of that. How courageous must he be to take that attack for me?

"Nameless Junior Brother, you can rest in peace. I'll take revenge for you before I leave." Lin Fan did not know the name of that junior brother, thus he could only address him as "Nameless."

"Chicken nuggets, where's that dog?" Lin Fan looked around, searching for that disciple who tried to stab him. I must slash him in half and dice him into mincemeat.

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples are weird. How much must they love a person to take an attack for him?

Suddenly, Lin Fan saw that disciple standing not far away. He took his 9-ringed broadsword and ran up toward him. "Take this, you fool!"

That disciple was currently in a tough fight with a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. Hearing Lin Fan, his face fell as he turned back to block the attack.

Ding! A strong force came down on him, causing his sword to vibrate and nearly fall out of his hand.

"Trash. The trash that killed my junior brother. Look what I'm going to turn you into!" Lin Fan might've been the only one that dared to make such a comment on the battlefield.

The battlefield was in a mess right now, and anyone could be assaulted from the back if they weren't paying attention.

However, Lin Fan wasn't fearful of death. Whoever manages to kill me, that's just his ability.

As a Sunshine Sect disciple, Liu Zhenhao's aim in this battle was to kill as many Magnificent Flame Sect disciples as he could. He had already lost count of how many disciples he had killed.

Now, Lin Fan coming up to attack him was just for him to add one more to his kills. Hehe, here to die?

But after blocking the attack, he realized that Lin Fan's strength was too much for him to handle, and that sent him running in fear.

In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen. Liu Zhenhao had gone to look for other disciples to kill.

As for the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple that came to fight him, he decided to just leave. It's hard to say that I would win.

Lin Fan watched him scramble through the battlefield. He gritted his teeth and yelled at him, "You better stay still, dog!"

Lin Fan did not care who was in front of him, slashing every Sunshine Sect disciple that came into his view.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Zhenhao had killed another Magnificent Flame Sect disciple.

In his eyes, these Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were just like grass, and he cut them as he pleased.

He saw another Magnificent Flame Sect disciple from the corner of his eye, and Liu Zhenhao appeared right in front of him within no time.

The disciple saw a figure coming toward him, blocking the sun. He could feel a sword pointing at him.

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciple was just a Body Tempering Stage Three cultivator, and Liu Zhenhao was blocking his way, not giving him a chance to escape.

"God, please don't let me die here!" the disciple murmured as he closed his eyes in despair.

But he did not feel the pain that he expected. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a figure blocking Liu Zhenhao. When he saw the face, he smiled widely. It was a pleasant surprise for him. "Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin Fan was currently staring at Liu Zhenhao with anger. "All you do is run, huh?"

Liu Zhenhao was dumbfounded. Is this guy mad?

Do I know him?

However, Liu Zhenhao pointed his sword at Lin Fan without hesitation.

"You mad pig." Lin Fan raised his 9-ringed broadsword, trying his best to slash Liu Zhenhao.

Clank!

The sword and the 9-ringed broadsword clashed so hard that it sent sparks flying.

The blood drained from Liu Zhenhao's face. Lin Fan's strength was not something he would be able to tackle, and he was no match for Lin Fan.

Liu Zhenhao tried to escape again, but Lin Fan did not give him the chance to. He went after Liu Zhenhao like a madman while screaming at him profusely.

"You better not run, fool! How dare you kill my junior brother? You must be tired of living, huh?"

Liu Zhenhao blocked Lin Fan's attack once again. Lin Fan's strength was too much for him, and Liu Zhenhao felt that he could not take it anymore.

Darn it. Why did I bump into this Magnificent Flame Sect elite? He must be above Body Tempering Stage Six and way stronger than me!

Just as Lin Fan's broadsword was about to land on Liu Zhenhao, a few swords pierced through Lin Fan's body.

"Darn it." Lin Fan frowned and dropped to the ground.

Liu Zhenhao heaved a sigh of relief and bowed toward his senior brothers. "Thank you, senior brothers."

"Cut the chatter and get back to killing."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Liu Zhenhao did not say anything more and continued his killing spree.

There were plenty of Magnificent Flame Sect elites, but the Sunshine Sect had more.

Experience Points 10

10 seconds passed.

Lin Fan lay on the floor. He wiped his face and hesitated before standing up

Darn it, they killed me.

It was Lin Fan's chance to feign death and seize the chance to run off.

But he did not, because he promised his "Nameless" junior brother that he would take revenge for him. I, Lin Fan, do not go back on my words.

"Chicken nuggets, where did that dog go?" Lin Fan looked around and soon found Liu Zhenhao amongst the crowd. Lin Fan immediately picked up his broadsword and went for him.

Liu Zhenhao was having the time of his life. He had killed all the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples that he had met.

Liu Zhenhao was an outer disciple of the Sunshine Sect and the best among them. He should've been in charge of the safer job of robbing the Magnificent Flame Sect's territory, but he enjoyed killing because he could become more experienced. Thus, he was here.

Moreover, his uncle was an elder in the sect who was part of the middle management, and he could be exempted from the war, but Liu Zhenhao rejected the privilege. As a future elite, how could I be so timid?

Suddenly, he felt someone coming for him. He turned around and blocked the attack with his sword.

The force numbed his hands.

When he saw the face, he was dumbfounded.

"Why is it you again? Didn't you just die!?" Liu Zhenhao shrieked. He never expected to see Lin Fan again, and he felt that Lin Fan was going after him on purpose.

"I think your mother is the one who died. How dare you kill my junior brother? Wait for your death!" Lin Fan did not train in other skills; he simply raised his broadsword and tried to slash Liu Zhenhao.

After a few rounds, Liu Zhenhao was drenched in sweat. The other party was too strong for him.

"Are you insane? How many people are there here? Why are you only coming after me?" Liu Zhenhao cried out. There are so many people here, why isn't he letting me off?

"No. You should just die!" Lin Fan jumped up, feeling the Undying Refinement of Bone expanding his muscles. His veins popped out as he chopped Liu Zhenhao's sword in half, leaving a cut on his body.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Liu Zhenhao stared at him, eyes widening in fear. Liu Zhenhao never expected his life would end here. I'm uncle's talented kid!

After a year of cultivation, I am already at Body Tempering Stage Six. Who else is able to cultivate as fast as me?

If I was not separated from my uncle and had started cultivating since I was a kid, I would be an Earth Star Border elite by now!

Liu Zhenhao was unable to accept reality.

He grimaced and yelled, "You should know, I'm not just a random disciple. Remember my name, someone will take revenge…!"

"What? Just watch as I mince you." Lin Fan rolled his eyes and killed Liu Zhenhao. Who cares who you are? Just die.

Blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.

Lin Fan took in a deep breath. "Junior Brother, look, I have fulfilled my promise and took revenge for you. Rest in peace."

Experience Points 60

Liu Zhenhao, an elite of his generation, didn't understand why he died to this tyrannical Lin Fan's hand.

He didn't even have a chance to grow.

It was just so sad.

Chapter 20: My Dear Grandfather

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The battle had turned into a mess, making it difficult for one to leave this war intact.

Lin Fan wasn't aware of how Lu Qiming and the rest were doing, but according to their plans, they should be able to survive the war without a doubt.

He observed his surroundings and found an area that was less crowded. If I manage to kill my way there and then feign death, I should be fine. And it'll be easy for me to escape from there too.

Because of his immortality, Lin Fan was able to act as he wished without any concerns. He gripped his broadsword and made his way there.

Liu Zhenhao's death was reported since a Sunshine Sect disciple witnessed Liu Zhenhao being chopped in half by Lin Fan. He yelled at Lin Fan, saying something about his Senior Brother Liu being the elder's nephew, and Lin Fan would be punished for killing Liu Zhenhao.

But why would Lin Fan care about all that? You'll be lucky if you're able to survive in a war. Who has time for all that other crap?

Lin Fan killed his way through the crowd. Why would I not want free points? Thus, he resumed his killing spree.

However, Lin Fan had attracted the attention of the Sunshine Sect's elites.

A man with gloom carved on his face followed Lin Fan's whereabouts. His face fell as he watched numerous Sunshine Sect disciples die under Lin Fan's hand. "This Magnificent Flame Sect disciple is extremely impudent, killing our disciples as he wishes."

"Hmph. He should be at most only Body Tempering Stage Seven. Trash. Not even able to take down a Body Tempering Stage Seven," a man replied. He was a dwarf who had a big head, which looked slightly abnormal. He looked like he was about to kill at any moment. He was definitely an evil sort.

Both of them were in a heated discussion. Lin Fan was already a non-existence to them, but if there was nobody who could take him down, then they would step out.

Okay, this is enough, Lin Fan thought. If I continue, I'll attract unwanted attention.

It would be hard to leave at that point. It would be even worse if they decide to catch me alive.

"Who else!?" Lin Fan boomed. He had frightened all the Sunshine Sect disciples.

He's drenched in blood and covered in cuts, but he's still as strong as metal. The more you beat him up, the stronger he gets!

"You…" Lin Fan looked around and stared at a Sunshine Sect disciple standing right in front of him. The disciple trembled under his stare. The disciple shut his eyes tight and ran toward Lin Fan. "Come!"

This disciple knew he would be dead soon because the person standing right in front of him was a monster.

Szzz!

The disciple could feel his weapon stick into Lin Fan's body.

He opened his eyes fearfully, staring at Lin Fan dumbfoundedly. When he realized what had happened, he jumped up in glee.

"I… I managed to kill him!"

The disciple cheered, tears of joy rolling down his cheeks.

I'm just a Body Tempering Stage Three cultivator, yet I was able to defeat the monster!

He saw the monster glaring at him, shaking violently. "You're… so strong?" Lin Fan's voice trailed away slowly.

The disciple smirked and looked at Lin Fan in disdain. "Haha, who do you think I am? Trash like you wished to kill me? In your dreams…!"

Puchi!

The disciple looked down, unable to believe what happened. He stared at the broadsword that was piercing through his body. "Why…?"

Points 30

"You chicken nugget, I wanted to let you take the credit, but since you chose to be so arrogant, then you are coming with me!" Lin Fan murmured. How can I tolerate such a tone?

But I shall stop now.

Plop!

Lin Fan dropped to the ground.

The elites that were discussing Lin Fan sneered. "Pieces of trash. We still had to pay the price of one more Body Tempering Stage Three disciple."

"That's enough. We should release the gigantic beast and end this war."

"The Magnificent Flame Sect does not have enough mystic crystals left to destroy the beast. If they want to do so, they will need their Earth Star Border elites, but do they still have any Earth Star Border elites left?"

"It's a pleasant surprise that the gigantic beast we used for war has levelled up this time around."

"Magnificent Flame Sect, you are going to become dead meat soon."

…

Lin Fan lay on the ground motionlessly. He observed the war and nudged closer to the side when no one was around. When there were passersby, he played dead.

All of a sudden, the ground shook.

Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly, and what was in his view left him speechless.

"What fool is this? Why is it so huge?" A gigantic beast appeared in Lin Fan's vision. It had spikes all over its back and huge feet. Its bloodshot eyes scanned the battlefield. There was no doubt that it was made for war.

Lin Fan now understood that this beast was created by fusing the DNA of different beasts that the Sunshine Sect had collected. It didn't have a mind of its own, and it was born to be destructive. The Sunshine Sect had cast a spell on it to control it. Now, it was the strongest being on the battlefield. Other than Earth Star Border cultivators, nobody was strong enough to be its match.

"Holy mama," Lin Fan whispered. Even though he was immortal, he still could not do anything to the scary beast.

The two Sunshine Sect elites sat on the beast's shoulder, controlling it.

"Kill."

The beast growled. Standing right in front of the gigantic beast, the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples seemed tiny.

Seeing the beast, Fang Qing's face fell immediately as he tried to convince himself that he was dreaming.

Why do they have another beast?

We don't have enough mystic crystals left to activate the Divine Cannon. How are we supposed to continue this war?

Witnessing his disciples being crushed under the beast's foot, Fang Qing nearly died of anger.

Hearing the cries around him, Lin Fan shrugged. I really can't help you this time. Do not blame me.

All of a sudden, Lin Fan realized that something was odd. The beast stopped right in front of him. He opened his eyes cautiously only to meet with the beast's bloodshot eyes. It was glaring at Lin Fan with hatred as if Lin Fan had killed its family.

The elites controlling the beast were confused with the situation too. "What's wrong?"

They tried to control its actions, but no matter what they did, the beast stood rooted to the ground.

Feeling the beast's glare, Lin Fan decided that it wasn't a good idea to stay there any longer. Seeing that there was nobody around, he stood up and made a run for his life.

Roar!

The beast let out a roar. It tried to break free from the control and go after Lin Fan, but it felt that there was something controlling it.

Everyone on the battlefield was dumbfounded, confused with the situation.

The elites controlling the beast were startled too. "What's going on? It's resisting our control."

Suddenly, the situation escalated in a way that nobody would've expected. The beast stood up, grabbing the elites on its shoulder with its sharp claws. With a pinch, it crushed both of them into pulp.

Roar!

Its growl boomed across the battlefield.

Lin Fan watched the scene unfold in disbelief. What the heck? Why does it seem like I have offended it?

The next minute, the beast growled again, hurting Lin Fan's ears, but he could hear a faint voice amongst the growl this time, and it caused him to jump out of his skin.

"Surnamed Lin… come here… I want your life…!"

Wait, that sounds familiar. Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.

What on earth? That sounds like Qiu Li's voice.

After being fed to the beast, Qiu Li's grievance rose and fused with the beast's memory. Everything was fine at the start, but it smelt Lin Fan on the battlefield and then saw him as well. This awoke the resentment, and all the beast wanted to do right now was kill Lin Fan.

Bang!

The beast stepped out, running toward Lin Fan.

Seeing the beast coming toward him, Lin Fan's legs turned to jelly.

"Madman! Why are you coming after me? Are you insane?" Lin Fan cried, dashing off.

Hearing Lin Fan's cries, Lu Qiming immediately registered the fact that Lin Fan survived. "Junior Brother Lin survived!"

Lin Fan felt that he was about to pee his pants. What the hell? How did it get its eyes on me? I was playing dead very well!

And no, Senior Brother Lu, I will die soon enough.

And Qiu Li, why are you even coming after me? I did not kill you, I only made you lose a hand!

Oh lord!

Whatever, let me run away first.

To the others, the beast seemed to be attracted to Lin Fan. It was going everywhere Lin Fan was going as if it would not rest before it managed to kill Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was currently trembling in fear.

"Let me off, please.

"I beg you, Lord.

"I'll call you grandfather now. Let me off, my dear grandfather.

"Can we both just lead a peaceful life?"

"Darn it. You're so overboard!"

Why is it so hard being me? Who have I offended? Why does the beast only have eyes for me? Why?

And what does this have to do with Qiu Li? Why has he turned into a beast?

What's going on?

Bang!

The beast stomped, leaving the ground shaking. A deep footprint could be seen on the ground when it raised its feet.

Wow, if he steps on anyone, they would surely be mashed.

Lu Qiming's eyes were out on stalks. "That's weird," he mumbled. "Why is it chasing Junior Brother Lin so relentlessly?"

Yin Xiaotian came over to Lu Qiming. He was dumbfounded too. "This is weird. The beast was obviously bred by the Sunshine Sect. There's no reason for anything to go wrong, but it just murdered the Sunshine Sect disciples that were controlling it! It seems to have lost control."

"I'll go save Junior Brother Lin," Lu Qiming said and walked toward the beast. Junior Brother Lin won't be able to hold on for long. Only one who has experienced it would know how terrifying that beast is.

Anyone below the Earth Star Border Realm was no match for the beast, and death was the only result they would achieve if they tried to fight the beast.

Lu Qiming was pulled back by Yin Xiaotian. "Don't. What can you do? You would only be adding on to the death count!"

"But I can't watch Junior Brother Lin die," Lu Qiming answered sternly.

…

"Damn it. It's your choice."

Lin Fan blew his top. Being too kind will only get you bullied. I must be too friendly, and that's why this dog is coming right after me.

Lottery. I'll draw a lottery.

Lin Fan could take it no longer, and the only way for him to end the beast was to draw a lottery.

Lucky for me, I have earned enough points for me to spend.

Points -300

Silver Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

"Darn it."

Where's Lady Luck? Hibernating? Lost her way?

But I have no other choice but to continue.

I'll draw ten at once. Just a grenade and I'll be more than happy.

Points -1,000

Bronze Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

…

Lin Fan stared at the "Thank you, please try again." in utter disbelief. So all the lottery has is this sentence?

All of a sudden:

Bronze Lottery: A step-by-step 82-2 grenade creation guide book.

"I don't want this!" Lin Fan yelled. You want me dead, huh?

Bronze Lottery: A Sting Fly's rotten egg.

"???"

What the hell? I only have 1,200 left!

Lin Fan was in despair. There was no need for Lin Fan to turn around to know that the beast was still chasing after him. Why does it want me dead so badly?

"Damn it, I'll draw four silver lotteries at one go. I don't believe that I won't get anything useful."

Silver Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Silver Lottery: A small-sized storage ring.

Silver Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Silver Lottery: A mystic low-class cultivation pill and an Imperial Tiger Pill.

"So, my 2,400 points are gone just like that?" Lin Fan cursed. What the heck are all these? Can I get something useful, please?

Points. I need those, or I'll be doomed.

Seeing the Sunshine Sect disciples in front of him, Lin Fan raised his broadsword immediately and slashed down on them.

"Oh no, the insane guy is coming for us!"

"The beast is right behind him!"

Under the threat of the beast, the Sunshine Sects disciples were all trembling in fear, running away from Lin Fan. Meanwhile, Lin Fan took the chance to kickstart his killing spree.

As for the beast, Lin Fan was all it cared about. The Sunshine Sects disciples were just another pile of ashes that lay under its feet.

Blood-curdling screams filled the battlefield, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Watching the beast crush the Sunshine Sects disciples under its feet, Lin Fan felt blood trickling from his heart. That brainless beast, how many points have you wasted!?

"Save me, I do not want to die here!" The Sunshine Sect's troop was in a mess.

They were willing to die under the hands of the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, but not the beast!

On the other hand, the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were tearing up at the scene.

"Guys, look. Even when Senior Brother Lin is being chased by the beast, he remembers to tackle the Sunshine Sect disciples. How can we let Senior Brother Lin battle on his own? Let's go and help Senior Brother Lin fight the Sunshine Sect disciples."

"Senior Brother Lin is such an idol."

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples had figured out the situation.

In their eyes, Senior Brother Lin was in a life-threatening situation, but that didn't stop him from taking down their enemy. His actions touched the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, and they were determined to live up to his spirit.

"Let's go! Do not get close to the beast. Kill the Sunshine Sect disciples from a distance."

"Yes."

They had all been touched by Lin Fan, but they all knew that they should stay away from their senior brother unless they wished to enter heaven early.

The Sunshine Sect disciples were in a mess. This was not what they expected. Their formation was completely ruined.

These dogs from the Magnificent Flame Sect…! Bringing the beast to us, killing our disciples! How many disciples have we lost to the beast!?

When Lin Fan saw a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple taking a Sunshine Sect disciple's life, he nearly blew his top.

Ungrateful human beings! Useless pieces of trash!

My points! Why are you taking them away from me!?

Lin Fan had just made up his mind that he would collect more points now since he was unable to run away now.

But what am I left with if you idiots are coming toward me?

Lin Fan started slashing anyone he saw.

Points 60

A Body Tempering Stage Seven Sunshine Sect disciple pulled out his weapon upon seeing Lin Fan running toward him. He planned to kill Lin Fan, but the beast stomping behind Lin Fan made him start trembling.

The ferocious beast growled in anger. Its stomps were enough to shake the ground, and there was no one who was able to stop it.

Lin Fan saw the Sunshine Sect disciple and yelled at him. "Brother! Run! I won't do anything to you! It's too dangerous!"

The disciple heard Lin Fan's words and started running away. He turned around and saw the beast still running right behind him. "Don't follow me! It's only going after you!" he yelled.

"Just run and don't look back!" Lin Fan shouted back.

"Darn it." The Sunshine Sect disciple glared at Lin Fan, but there was nothing he could do except run.

Puchi!

"Didn't… you say you wouldn't kill me?" The Sunshine Sect disciple was dumbfounded. He felt so cheated.

Lin Fan pulled out his broadsword and shrugged. "I forgot. Sorry…."

Points70

This feels great!

But that beast is still trailing after me. What should I do?

He wasn't worried that the beast would crush him to death; he was worried that the beast would swallow him. That would certainly be "fun."

Report chapter

"This is too much!"

He was speechless.

Far away, atop a hill, Lu Daosheng clenched his fist. His face flushed red as a ball of black smoke sat atop of him, swallowing his Yuan energy.

There was a man standing right in front of him. He was a dwarf and looked exactly like the man that controlled the beast.

The man sneered, looking at Lu Daosheng proudly. "Lu Daosheng, how do you like this surprise?"

The other Magnificent Flame Sect and Sunshine Sect disciples were in a tough battle around them.

"Jin Luo, I never expected that you would not follow the rules set by the Sect Union and turn to cultivating evil practices!" Lu Daosheng huffed. He was at a disadvantage because of that.

"Haha." Jin Luo burst out into laughter. "Sect Union? That's just a bunch of rules set by elites to keep the weaklings in place. I, Jin Luo, care nothing about that. So how do you find my Soul Vampire?"

Jin Luo smiled at Lu Daosheng evilly, his eyes shining with pride as he raised his hands. "Do you know how many innocents I have tortured to get this Soul Vampire technique to level eight? Oh, smell it, the smell of death!"

All of a sudden, a few Sunshine Sect disciples came running toward him in a hurry, as if they were running for their lives.

"Stop there. What are you doing?" Seeing his disciples, Jin Luo's face fell as he questioned them.

Blood drained from the disciples' faces when they saw Jin Luo. "Senior Brother Jin," one of them stammered. "The beast has lost control, and we have lost too many disciples. There's no way for us to continue the battle."

"What? Where's my brother!?" Jin Luo yelled at them upon hearing what they said.

Lu Daosheng heaved a sigh of relief. Great. At least we won't lose completely.

"He was crushed by the beast." As soon as the disciple answered Jin Luo, black smoke waltzed around him, wrapping him up, and blisters grew all over his body. With a bang, he exploded.

The same thing happened to the other disciples who ran away from the battlefield for their lives. They died terrible deaths.

"Ah!" Jin Luo screamed, his eyes turning red. "My younger brother…"

Since birth, Jin Luo and his younger brother had grown up looking ugly. They had dwarfism too and were abandoned not long after they were born. Ridicule was something that they grew up with. By chance, they acquired a set of evil practices and lived their lives torturing others for entertainment. Those that once made nasty comments about them died under their hands.

He despised healthy people and turned them into monsters that lived for killing. He had caused uncountable deaths, but the death of his only kin, his beloved brother, was not something that he could tolerate.

"Lu Daosheng, prepare to die!"

Black smoke rose to the sky slowly, painting the sky black. The surrounding plants withered in no time, showing how dangerous the smoke was.

Lu Daosheng's body trembled slightly as Yuan energy flowed to his palms. His palms flared up, and the black smoke atop his head disappeared into thin air.

"Jin Luo, I'll kill you right here, right now."

"Let's see whose death day it is, shall we?"

…

Lin Fan was no longer frustrated at the beast that was chasing after him relentlessly.

"Draw a lottery."

Lin Fan had slain quite a number of Sunshine Sect disciples, leaving him with 3,200 points

"I'm going to do ten draws in a row."

Bronze Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Lin Fan facepalmed. That's how it's gonna be, huh?

I didn't get anything out of ten draws? Do they want me dead that badly?

How unlucky must I be to get such results?

"Damn it."

Lin Fan really did not have any other words. I have never seen anyone this unlucky in my entire life!

The Sunshine Sect's plans had already been messed up by the beast. Body Tempering Stage Eight and Stage Nine disciples dared not go near the beast.

"Run!"

All the Sunshine Sect disciples were escaping from the battlefield. They were in despair now since their battle tool had become their killer instead.

Lin Fan was now a hero in many people's eyes.

But they were unaware of their hero's worries.

Silver Lottery: Mortal high-class refinement medicine; Liger Pill

Screw my life.

My points are like water, slipping through my fingers so quickly.

One last time. I'll draw again. If it does not work, then I'll stop running. Dying is nothing since I can just revive.

Points -100

Bronze Lottery: Chinese 82-2 model grenade.

"Wow!

"What a cheap thing. It just needed some scaring."

Seeing the sentence, Lin Fan was so happy that he was like a dog with two tails.

This is dope!

"Senior Brother Lin, be careful!"

This brought Lin Fan back to reality. He realized that all the Sunshine Sect disciples were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Lin Fan being chased by the beast, the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were at a loss for what to do.

With their ability, there was no way they could save their Senior Brother Lin.

Knowing that the disciples were watching him, Lin Fan felt that it was time for him to show off his power.

He came to an abrupt stop and turned to the beast, raising his hand. "You better stop!"

The gigantic beast came to a stop seeing Lin Fan. Hatred was swimming in its bloodshot eyes.

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were dumbfounded to see the scene.

"What is Senior Brother Lin planning to do?"

Lin Fan glared at the beast, fuming. "Idiot, you must have had a lot of fun chasing after me, right? I'm going to stop running now. Let's fight. Have a taste of my weapon."

He then threw the Sting Fly's rotten egg at the beast.

Roar!

The beast reached out to Lin Fan, wanting to crush him, but the rotten egg landed on the Beast's nose accurately.

Bang!

The egg cracked. The yellowish liquid flowed into its nose.

An unbearable smell spread out in the beast's nose.

"Urgh!"

The beast started to vomit, but in the eyes of the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, it had been angered.

Lin Fan watched the scene, amused. He never expected the rotten egg to be so powerful that it could act as a stink bomb. Even the beast could not take it.

At that moment, the beast vomited out a skeleton. Upon seeing the skeleton that had lost its arm, it blew its top again as if it was reminded of something.

The beast roared, as if it was unable to believe what just happened.

Lin Fan grinned as he saw the scene. He jumped up into the beast's mouth immediately, yelling.

"Trash, I'll show you my secret weapon!"

"Senior Brother Lin…!" the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples wailed. They thought that Lin Fan was going to take the beast down with him.

"You smell like trash." Lin Fan scowled as soon as he entered the beast's mouth. He pulled the pin and waited for the grenade to explode.

Bang!

The grenade exploded in the beast's mouth.

As for the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, all they saw was the beast begin to spasm.

Under the eyes of all the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, the beast dropped to the floor with a thud.

"Senior Brother…" The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were dumbstruck. They were unable to believe that their well-respected senior brother had just died.

Lu Qiming look to the front in despair. "Junior Brother Lin…"

"My friend…" Tears rolled down Gao Dazhuang's cheeks.

Ten seconds later:

Bang!

All the disciples jumped out of their skin. A figure broke out of the beast's head under the crowd's vision. He stood under the moonlight with his hands behind him and his head slightly raised, facing the moon.

Under the moonlight, the figure looked so graceful, yet strong.

Lin Fan felt that his posture was great, and the loneliness of a winner swam in his eyes.

It's chilly, though.

But that's not important. Only my posture matters.

"Senior Brother!"

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples hailed in the victory of the war as they rushed toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled thinly. It was a smile that showed his calmness.

Chapter 23: I'm a Hardworking Person

Lu Qiming and the rest went up in glee, but they were still trembling in fear as they had yet to recover from the shock. "Junior Brother Lin, we were so afraid!"

Lin Fan covered his crotch with his hands, smiling embarrassedly. "Senior Brother, can you get me some clothes? This is so embarrassing."

Some disciples still had their faces covered from watching the scene earlier. Seeing Lin Fan's posture, they nearly thought that he was a flasher.

But the disciples weren't to be blamed. Lin Fan was the one posed in the middle of the battlefield shirtless.

Lu Qiming passed him two shirts, tying one around Lin Fan's waist to cover up his crotch.

"Junior Brother, how are you?" Yin Xiaotian stepped up, worried for Lin Fan.

"Yeah, I'm good." Lin Fan grinned. "It was just a beast, nothing to be afraid of. I used my secret skill and slayed him. Now, it's our victory since we managed to send the Sunshine Sect away."

"Victory!"

The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were unable to believe their ears.

But they registered it within no time and cheered happily.

"Victory! Finally!"

To the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, this victory did not come easy. They had already lost count of how many brothers they had lost to this war.

The loss of their brothers had them grieving in sorrow.

Watching the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples cheering, Lin Fan pouted. Haish, my escape has failed once again.

"Great job, Junior Brother Lin." Fang Qing, who was drenched in blood, walked over. He just put a tough fight to an end. Being able to repel the Sunshine Sect had Fang Qing on cloud nine.

He had doubts about how Lin Fan managed to slay the beast, but it wasn't the time for him to look into that now as the troop was cheering for their victory.

Fang Qing turned toward the distance. I wonder how Senior Brother Lu is doing right now.

Suddenly, a few figures could be seen dashing over.

The disciples stared at the figures with anticipation. They had already won the war, but they were curious about how it would turn out for Senior Brother Lu.

Lin Fan looked over too. He knew that, after one broke into the Earth Star Border Realm, they were no longer like ordinary humans. They would be equipped with great strength.

Lin Fan believed that, with his ability, he would soon become an Earth Star Border cultivator.

An Earth Star Border disciple managed to make it back. He went to Fang Qing and reported the situation. "Senior Brother Lu is seriously injured. Fang Qing, lead the disciples and clean up the battlefield."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Fang Qing could not believe his ears. He was aware of how powerful Senior Brother Lu was. If Senior Brother Lu is seriously injured, then it must have been a tough fight.

Lu Qiming was surprised too. "I can't believe that Senior Brother Lu is seriously injured. These evil Sunshine Sect disciples, we will destroy their sect one day."

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Lu will be fine," Lin Fan comforted Lu Qiming.

"Yes." Lu Qiming smiled thinly.

Fang Qing wasted no time and gave out another command. "Disciples, clean up the battlefield and gather up when you are done."

…

The next day, the troop gathered, preparing to leave.

Lin Fan turned around to look at the sky. This must be fate. He sighed.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you alright?" Lu Qiming patted Lin Fan on his shoulders. He didn't know what made Lin Fan so sad.

Lin Fan waved his hands. "Nothing. Let's get going."

Lin Fan wanted to cry but had no tears. He had a few chances to escape, but something always cropped up, never allowing him to do so, as if somebody was planning against him. Lin Fan was absolutely frustrated with this.

My hopes and dreams shall be put on hold. I'll now spend my time levelling up and hopefully break through to the Earth Star Border Realm soon!

If anyone found about this, they would blow their top.

They would go, "Do you think breaking through to the Earth Star Border Realm is like going to the market?"

Back at the camp, after battling for a day, the disciples were all beat and went to sleep.

But for Lin Fan, resting didn't exist in his life.

"Let me see what I've got." Lin Fan checked his prizes excitedly. He didn't take note of what he got when he was on the battlefield, but there seemed to be some good stuff.

"A small-sized storage ring."

This is great! It's a must for every traveler. How can one call themselves a man without this?

The silver ring fit perfectly on Lin Fan's finger.

He then continued to look through his prizes. A mystic low-classed cultivation pill and an Imperial Tiger Pill. It's for cultivation use, and of a higher rank than the previous Liger Pill!

I'll save it for cultivation later.

The last item gave Lin Fan a pleasant shock.

A step-by-step 82-2 grenade creation guide book.

Wow, I love this. In a technologically backward world, there's nothing that a grenade can't solve, and it's powerful too.

Qiu Li, who was a Body Tempering Stage Eight, lost an arm with this grenade, so it's not all-powerful.

But if somebody put this grenade in their mouth, then not to mention Qiu Li, even an Earth Star Border elite would be dead.

Haha, but which idiot would put it in their mouth other than that beast?

Let me check the panel.

Name: Lin Fan

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Six ()

Experience Points: 10,540

Points: 2,330

Talent: Immortality

Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), yet to be unlocked.

2,330 is a nice number. Before killing that ugly beast, it was around 100. This is good enough.

He took the Imperial Tiger Pill and started cultivating.

Lin Fan might not have many strengths, but he cultivated diligently.

He ate the pill, and the flow of energy gushed through his body.

His experience points continued to add up.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he was on cloud nine.

Experience Points: 18,540. An increase of 8,000 points? It's so powerful.

I see. The usage of pills to cultivate is a great way too.

Look at how much I gained. This is fun.

But if Lin Fan knew about the price of these pills, he might not be so happy anymore.

The sky had lit up. It was now afternoon.

Lin Fan felt that it was time for him to take a walk. He heard noises outside earlier.

Of course, he was somewhat tired after the continuous cultivation.

Uh huh.

Lin Fan slashed his neck with the 9-ringed broadsword.

Experience Points 10

After 10 seconds, he revived with full health.

Lin Fan tidied his clothes quickly and wiped the bloodstains off the wall before going out to take a walk.

Report chapter

Chapter 24: I Deserve a Commendation!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Junior Brother Lin."

"Senior Brother Lin."

Warm greetings from many disciples could be heard, and Lin Fan greeted them back.

See, this is the consequence of being popular. If they knew that I was about to leave, how would they react? Would they be sad?

"Junior Brother Lin." Lu Qiming saw Lin Fan and came to him.

Senior Brother is in a good mood, I see.

"Senior Brother Lu, you seem to be in a good mood. What happened?" Lin Fan asked.

He was in a bad mood yesterday, so what's going on?

Lu Qiming was taken aback by the question. He stared at Lin Fan weirdly and realized that he had not caught up with the news. "Oh, Junior Brother Lin, you might not have heard about it, but Senior Brother Lu is fine, and the war has ended. We received news that the sect has come to an agreement with the Sunshine Sect, so we will be returning soon."

"Hah?" Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Agreement? Where's the fun if we don't fight?

But going back to the sect means that… my hopes of escaping would be crushed! At least temporarily.

Based on "Lin Fan's" experience, I might actually have a better chance of escaping when we get back.

Seeing Lin Fan staring blankly into space, Lu Qiming thought that Lin Fan was on cloud nine after hearing the news of the war coming to an end, so he continued to ramble on. "I was glad to hear this piece of news too! It's been half a year of staying here, and I am so glad that I survived!"

Thinking about this, Lu Qiming grabbed Lin Fan's hand tightly. "Junior Brother Lin, you have done well this war. When we get back, you will be upgraded to a first class outer disciple for sure."

The Magnificent Flame Sect's outer disciples were classified into three different classes. First class was the best and third class was the worse. Priority would be given to the first-class outer disciples when it came to rationing resources.

The first-class disciples always received the most benefits and got a lot of quality stuff.

Moreover, the war had ended, so gaining points would be a lot more difficult now. It would be beneficial to be in the sect in that case.

After much thinking, Lin Fan decided to make a trip to the sect.

As for how the previous Lin Fan survived so long, it was still a mystery. Maybe Lady Luck was on his side.

If I had to describe it with one sentence…

Neglected by the opponents.

Ding! Ding!

The chimes of the bell could be heard.

Lu Qiming was like a dog with two tails upon hearing the chimes. "Let's go. We're going back!"

Lin Fan coughed. "Calm down, Senior Brother Lu."

Zhang Long, Yin Xiaotian, and the rest came over. They apparently knew about the news too.

Even though none of them knew what made the Sunshine Sect agree to stop the war, they knew they could return to the sect now.

"Junior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Lu, you guys have been getting closer. Are you perhaps…?" Yin Xiaotian asked smirking

Due to him being too excited, Lu Qiming was grabbing Lin Fan's hand. Hearing that, Lin Fan sensed that something was wrong. He swung off Lu Qiming's hand and shook his head. "There's nothing going on. I'm a normal man."

"Haha, of course, we are aware of it." Zhang Long laughed. "Everyone saw your body yesterday."

Being reminded of what happened yesterday, Lin Fan turned red in embarrassment. That pose was too much. They saw my pure body!

"Okay, let's gather." Lin Fan dropped the conversation.

On the training ground, under the witness of the troop, Lu Daosheng stepped on stage. He was pale, signifying that he had not fully recovered, but he could move freely, so he was probably fine.

"The war has ended. All disciples can return now."

The disciples cheered upon hearing this. This was the thing that they wished to hear the most.

Suddenly, Lu Daosheng raised his hands, and a divine ship flew out from his storage ring and enlarged itself. It became so huge that it covered the sun before landing on the ground.

Lin Fan stared at the ship with wide eyes. What a treasure!

It was made by the tool-refining masters in the sect. It was a mystic middle-class support treasure that was made out of many rare materials. It was costly, but it had no weaknesses other than the fact that it could not attack.

The disciples got on the ship happily. This was something that they had been anticipating for a long time.

"Junior Brother, let's get going." Lu Qiming patted him.

"Oh, for real?" Lin Fan sighed in his heart, slightly unwilling. Coming to an agreement? Why is the Sunshine Sect so cowardly?

"What's wrong?" Lu Qiming was unaware of Lin Fan's thoughts. He thought that Lin Fan was still unable to accept the fact that they were able to leave.

"Nothing much, let's go."

Ten days passed.

Initially, Lin Fan planned to spend his days cultivating to pass time, but that was just a plan. How much private space could he possibly have on such a crowded ship?

I'm not going to even think about it, it's a nightmare.

However, Lin Fan's time did not go to waste.

When he looked down from the ship, he could see the different sceneries of a different place.

This was the first time that he saw such beautiful sceneries with his eyes, and he was looking forward to seeing the sect.

"Magnificent."

They reached the Magnificent Flame Sect, and a statue could be seen from far away, standing high up from the middle of the sect. It was a statue of their mighty founder, Emperor Yanhua.

If I had to put it into words, it would be grandiose, huge, and majestic.

After alighting from the divine ship, the disciples gathered around, chatting happily.

Most of them were smiling.

However, some were looking solemn, grieving for their friends who died on the battlefield.

Lin Fan was feeling jittery. There are so many people around. Will they get into a conflict with me due to them being unhappy about my outstanding achievements?

…and beat me up?

The scenes played in Lin Fan's head.

"Let's go back, Junior Brother Lin," Lu Qiming said.

"Now?" Lin Fan turned to Lu Qiming blankly. "Isn't there going to be a ceremony to acknowledge our efforts and reward us?"

"Nope." Lu Qiming laughed. "Senior brothers have taken note of our achievements, and the elders will send out our rewards according to the records. All we need to do is wait."

"Okay."

Lin Fan was slightly disappointed. They have a bad system.

This can't arouse the disciples' emotions.

If I was the sect leader, I would have a grand ceremony and let the disciples enjoy the limelight.

Of course, that's just a daydream.

With my ability and identity, I would be digging my own grave if I were to act presumptuously.

Am I that kind of person?

Of course not.

In the room, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling butterflies in his stomach.

He had only ever been to the temporary camp set up for war, not the actual sect.

The sect proper was huge, and the number of disciples was uncountable.

Back on Earth, he thought that sects were small, based on what he read in the books. However, he was now proven wrong. This looks more like a town!

"Whatever, let's go cultivate now."

Knowing that he was in a mystical world, Lin Fan could not hold his excitement. I'll be able to do whatever I want and travel as I like. It's such a blessing!

Furthermore, with the cheat, it would be a disgrace if I don't become the best!

Cultivate. I must cultivate hard.

Before starting, he took out the grenade creation guide book and smacked it onto his body, which was the way of acquiring skills.

The grenade is a helpful and strong weapon, it will be important to me.

I have plenty of points, let's draw something.

Maybe Lady Luck will be on my side today.

Let's draw ten at once to try out my luck.

I seem to be extremely unlucky, or I would have gotten great prizes by now.

Points -1,000

Bronze Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Bronze Lottery: Speed support mortal middle-class pill – Lighting Speed Pill.

Bronze Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

…

And there was nothing more.

Lin Fan was happy to exchange a thousand points for a mortal middle-class pill.

He was extremely unlucky in general and had a good temper, or he would have flipped the table.

The points are gone, what else can I do? Let's continue drawing.

But I'm not going to draw the bronze lottery anymore. I doubt my bad luck will follow me. Let's change the type.

Let's draw four silver lotteries then.

Silver Lottery: Thank you, please try again.

Silver Lottery: …

Lin Fan's face fell immediately.

"Darn it. You cheater!"

"Giving me a prize will kill you, huh?"

Silver Lottery: Mystic high-class cultivating pill – Yuanyun Pill.

"Ooh, great!"

Hearing that he had gotten a prize, Lin Fan jumped up in happiness. My points did not go down the drain!

It's a mystic high-class pill that's able to help with my cultivation.

Woohoo!

Holding his excitement, Lin Fan used up his remaining points, leaving only 30 behind.

There was no doubt that the bronze lottery got him nothing.

However, to Lin Fan, the lottery was worth it.

Let me take the pill and start cultivating.

Experience points, grow! That's the best reward for my hard work.

The next day, Lin Fan checked his experience points immediately.

Experience Points: 42,000

My hard work has paid off. He pressed on the plus sign.

Experience Points -32,000

Cultivation: Body Tempering Stage Seven ()

As soon as he levelled up, he felt re-energized and strong. His bones felt tougher, as if they were the product of numerous refinements.

Lin Fan stopped cultivating. He currently had no more points left, and with his ability, it was impossible for him to get high-class pills. All he could do to get them was use the lottery draw.

Furthermore, I do not have much luck when it comes to lottery draws. What can I even get with them?

Lin Fan stood up, preparing to take a walk outside, but a guy entered his room at the same time.

"Junior Brother Lin." Seeing Lin Fan, the guy plastered a wide smile on his face.

"You are…?" Lin Fan blinked his eyes. He didn't recognize the guy.

I do not even know him, and yet he is smiling at me like that…. What is he planning to do?

Moreover, I don't even know where I am. What should I do if he plans to do something to me? Close my eyes and enjoy his invasion?

"Junior Brother Lin, I'm Huang Hao, a second-class outer disciple who is here to congratulate Junior Brother Lin." Huang Hao smiled.

Lin Fan did not hear his words clearly, but he knew that Huang Hao said "congratulate" to him. A smile formed on Lin Fan's face. "Senior Brother Huang, what happened?"

Huang Hao did not leave Lin Fan in suspense and took something out of his pocket. "Junior Brother Lin, you did well during the war, and the Heavenly Deed Hall has sent this disciple to bring you the rewards. Here, Junior Brother Lin."

As a second-class disciple, Huang Hao was green with envy when he saw the rewards, but he did not dare steal it in fear of the Heavenly Deed Hall finding out and punishing him severely.

Lin Fan took the items happily.

First, he saw a metal badge with the words "first-class" carved on it.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother. You're now a first-class outer disciple," Huang Hao said, trying his best to bootlick Lin Fan.

The next item was a small bottle that was white in color. Lin Fan shook it and realized there was something inside. Oh, these are pills.

"Senior Brother Lin. this is the mortal low-class medicine, Golden Firm Pill. There are six of them in a bottle, and it helps our cultivation to a large extent." Huang Hao explained the usage of each item every time Lin Fan took out an item. He explained each of them so clearly that it seemed like they were his items instead.

Hearing the words "mortal low-class," Lin Fan lost interest in the pills. The pills that I take are mostly mystic rank and at least of mortal high-class! The sect is a cheapskate!

Ah, whatever.

The last item was a stack of holographic paper with numbers on them.

Seeing these, Huang Hao was extremely green with envy. "Senior Brother Lin, Junior Brother is in envy of you! The Heavenly Deed Hall decided to reward you with fifty thousand YHB (Yan Hua Bi in pinyin, which is similar to Ren Ming Bi, china's currency, RMB for short.) It's more than a year of Junior Brother's earnings!"

The Yan Hua currency could be used everywhere in the Yan Hua sect to purchase items. For example, a Golden Firm Pill cost three thousand YHB.

Thus, the reward that the sect gave Lin Fan could be considered hefty.

They had many disciples after all.

How many rewards did they need to give out after a war? The cost was unimaginable.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Huang, for bringing me these. Help me tell the Heavenly Deed senior brothers that I am thankful," Lin Fan said and shoved the gifts into his room.

Seeing this, Huang Hao felt as if he was going to die on the spot as he called out for Lin Fan softly. "Look, Senior Brother, I came here to pass you the items in such a hurry that I forgot my breakfast…."

Even though Huang Hao did not make it clear, he was already cursing in his heart. I am here to bring you your rewards, yet there's no tips for me? You're stingy!

"Haish, you should have told me earlier, Junior Brother Huang. Senior Brother will treat you to a meal now. Hold on…" Lin Fan fumbled around and took out a note that belonged to the previous Lin Fan.

He pulled over Huang Hao's hand and placed the note in his palm. "Junior Brother Huang, get a good meal as a 'thank you' gift from me."

"Damn it!" Seeing the twenty YHB note, Huang Hao's eyes nearly fell out.

How stingy can one person be?

Just then, Lin Fan saw Lu Qiming and ran after him, turning back to Huang Hao. "Junior Brother Huang, stay safe. I'm currently busy, so see you next time."

Looking at Lin Fan walk away, Huang Hao nearly blew his top.

You're such a… cheapskate.

Chapter 26: Wait and See

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Senior Brother Lu…" Lin Fan called out to Lu Qiming. Hearing Lin Fan, he stopped in his tracks and smiled upon seeing Lin Fan's new badge.

"Congrats, Junior Brother Lin, for being promoted to first-class."

Lu Qiming never liked to flaunt his achievements, but he was happy to receive the new badge that was hanging on his waist too.

Being observant, Lin Fan caught it and laughed. "Back at you. Senior Brother Lu has promoted similarly, no?"

"Haha." Both of them burst out in laughter.

Lin Fan asked Lu Qiming about the rewards that he got and was satisfied to hear Lu Qiming's answer. So, the sect is stingy to everyone. Six Golden Firm Pills and a stack of money, only Senior Brother Lu got ten thousand less YHB than me.

"Senior Brother Lu, where are you going?" Lin Fan asked.

"Didn't we just receive the rewards?" Lu Qiming smiled. "I'm going to the Hall of Skills to exchange for something. The money is useless to me right now, so why not use it to upgrade my skills?"

Both of them chit-chatted, and Lin Fan found out that a mortal high-class skill set cost fifty thousand YHB. What on earth? The sect is smart, earning back our money immediately after giving it to us.

However, Lin Fan was planning to make a trip to the Hall of Skills as well anyway at some point. I do not know any attacking skills yet. It would be a joke if anyone found out about it.

"Junior Brother Lin, what about you?" Lu Qiming asked.

"I'll take up some missions. Maybe to catch a bandit or something."

Lu Qiming nodded and looked at Lin Fan worriedly. "Junior Brother, please be careful. Some bandits are powerful, it would be dangerous to go alone, so try to team up."

"Of course, I will." Lin Fan smiled.

And of course, that's just what I say. Why would I group up with others? To let them take my points?

With my ability, what's the big deal with some bandits?

In the Magnificent Flame Sect's territory, the cities were safe and peaceful, but there were a lot of bandits lurking around outside the cities.

Some of them cultivated evil skills and were wanted by the Magnificent Flame Sect. They were the main source of practice for the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples.

It wasn't a hundred percent safe, and from the previous Lin Fan's memory, there was quite a number of disciples that died under their hands yearly.

After parting ways with Senior Brother Lu, Lin Fan went to pick up a mission.

He was lucky that day to receive a mission that wasn't far away from the sect – only ten miles away. A group of bandits lurked around there, and many businessmen that passed by had died at their hands. The rewards were quite a deal.

But the rewards weren't important to Lin Fan anymore.

Because this was his chance to escape.

He received the mission and left.

However, he failed to see the note that the bandit was in Body Tempering Stage Nine

As for the Magnificent Flame Sect, he would not be returning in a short period of time.

I will return when I'm an elite and give all of them a shock. It feels good to flaunt my ability.

After a few days, Lin Fan reached his destination. He lurked around the area and had already marked down his target.

The group that he had his eyes on was dressed in black and carried weapons. They are obviously the bandits.

As for ability, I do not believe they can be that strong. Let's just go for it.

"Stop right there!" Lin Fan yelled, sounding extremely righteous.

The bandits were chatting happily before Lin Fan called out to them. They turned around hearing Lin Fan, only to see a guy standing on a hill holding a 9-ringed broadsword in his hands. He looked at them proudly, justice written all over his face.

The biggest bandit stared at Lin Fan in disdain. "Who are you?"

"Hehe." Lin Fan sneered and took out his badge. "Can you see this?"

The more observant one among them held his breath upon seeing the badge. "Third in-charge, he's a first-class outer disciple from the Magnificent Flame Sect. They must be here to get us! Let's run away!"

"To where? Heaven?" The third-in-charge gave his servant a slap. "Are you alone?" He sneered.

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Of course. One person is enough to defeat you, my dear."

"Let me see, one, two… wow, I guess that bandits live in small groups, huh? You only have ten people and yet you dare to intercept merchant caravans? Haha, brave indeed."

Lin Fan spoke arrogantly. There are too few for me!

How many points can I even earn by killing them?

Whatever, I'll just get what's given to me.

"Third in-charge, this idiot is too arrogant, let me teach him a lesson." Hearing that Lin Fan was alone, the servant was no longer afraid and was even dying to teach Lin Fan a lesson.

"Okay." The third-in-charge nodded. He wanted to test Lin Fan's ability too.

"Kiddo, let me send you to hell today!" The bandit twirled his knife and slashed it down toward Lin Fan.

Seeing the other party, Lin Fan let out a laugh and chopped down. Blood splattered everywhere in no time.

Points 30

"Hey, little trash." Lin Fan laughed, looking at the bandits. "Are you all crippled? There's nobody who can fight, huh?"

The third-in-charge looked at Lin Fan expressionlessly, showing how little he valued his opponent. He smirked and clapped. "Come out and treat this gentleman here nicely."

Lin Fan stared at him blankly. What? I have followed you for days, and you only have ten people!

But the next minute, Lin Fan was left in a daze.

Suddenly, numerous figures appeared from the bush. Lin Fan took a quick glance. There are about a hundred people.

What on earth is going on?

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, the other party burst out in laughter. "Kiddo, I know that the Magnificent Flame Sect lists us as missions, and I've been waiting for you to fall in my trap one by one. But I never expected to meet such a brave guy like you, coming on your own….

"Haha, no matter how many you bring though, I'm not afraid. I'll let you know about my definition of scary."

Lin Fan was left speechless as the scene. So many people? I might be immortal, but how do I beat them? Now, I must find a way to salvage my reputation.

Before the third-in-charge could finish his words, Lin Fan did something unexpected. He commanded his servants to get him, but Lin Fan was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Fan snickered and made a loser sign with his hand before dashing off at lighting speed.

"Just you wait and see how I'll come back at you soon."

To Lin Fan, bleeding was nothing.

"Third in-charge, he's gone!" the bandit shouted.

The third-in-charge gave his servant a tight slap and huffed. "I'm not blind. This idiot, so brave as to come at me? You're practically digging your own grave!"

"Darn it! They are so cruel! Bullying me with their numbers? Are you even human?" Lin Fan leaned against a tree, trying to catch his breath.

I came to collect points, and this is what I get in return? A meeting with snakes?

But who asked Lin Fan to be arrogant and go in without tricks? It wasn't the bandit's fault that he walked into the trap himself.

"Count yourself lucky today. Just wait and see. If I do not send you flying off to the moon, I'll take your surname." Lin Fan cursed. It's okay to be embarrassed once, as long as I get my reputation back the next time around.

After a few days, back in the sect, Lin Fan hid behind a wall and started running to his destination when there was nobody around.

"Junior Brother Lin." Just then, somebody called him.

Lin Fan turned around. Seeing that it was Zhang Long, he plastered a smile on his face. "Senior Brother Zhang."

"Junior Brother Lin, I heard from Lu Qiming that you picked up a mission. How is it so far?"

"Meh, I did not find the culprit. It was a wasted trip, but I am planning to make another trip after a few days." Lin Fan smiled, lying through his teeth. How embarrassing would it be if I said that I came back because I was scared by the numbers?

Zhang Long nodded. "Missions are getting harder now. The wanted are getting sneakier. We need luck too."

"Yeah, I know. They're snakes! I spent days looking for them, yet nobody appeared! Haish, such a waste of my time." Lin Fan sighed. Wait, Zhang Long seems way more energetic than before. "Senior Brother, you have broken through?"

Zhang Long smiled hearing Lin Fan's question.

"Haha, it's by luck. I exchanged for a pill with the sect's rewards and broke through luckily."

"Senior Brother, credit should go to your ability too."

"Junior Brother, I will be going on a mission with a few others sometime soon. Do come with us then!"

There were quite a few group missions in the sect that came with hefty rewards. Zhang Long had brought this news to Lin Fan as he cared for him.

Moreover, being in Body Tempering Stage Seven, Zhang Long was confident that he would be able to earn the rewards. He thought about Lin Fan and decided to bring him along.

"Of course. Senior Brother. I'll get going first, I'm still upset from the failed mission." Lin Fan nodded and went off. I'm going to make some grenades. I was overconfident. Haish!

But they will know how good I am when I finish making my grenades.

They waved goodbye and parted ways.

Lin Fan had already mastered the making of grenades, but there was still something that he lacked.

Materials – shells and gunpowder.

Scrap iron was worthless in this world, but to Lin Fan, it was a necessity. How else would I make my grenades?

Let's cultivate for a night.

The next morning, Lin Fan pushed a cart out of his room.

"Where are you going, Junior Brother Lin?" Lu Qiming could see that Lin Fan was in a good mood, but he knew that Lin Fan had not completed his mission yet, so he decided to not bring it up.

"Senior Brother, I'll see you later on. I'm going to collect some scrap iron," Lin Fan said and went off.

Lu Qiming watched him walk off dumbfoundedly. What on earth?

Scrap iron?

What does he want that for?

What can he do with it?

Lin Fan came to the streets where the disciples lived.

He took up his gong and made some noise while yelling, "Don't miss this, come and take a look, it's definitely a steal!"

Some disciples stopped in their tracks and stared at Lin Fan suspiciously.

What does this guy want?

"Senior Brother, are you going to crush rocks with your chest? It's been years since I saw someone do that since I left my hometown!" a disciple asked.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and cursed in his mind.

"C'mon guys, take a look. I'm going to turn your trash into money. Bring out all your scrap iron and I'll buy half a kilogram for one YHB. If you miss this chance, it will be gone forever!"

Lin Fan yelled at the top of his lungs. He found out that some disciples in the Magnificent Flame Sect were poor, and he was confident that they would sell him anything they could.

Indeed, all were left dumbstruck upon hearing Lin Fan's words.

to their knowledge, scrap iron was useless, and only disciples from the Tool Refining School would need them for training purposes. Everyone just gave scrap iron away for free since it was useless, but Lin Fan's words left them in shock.

"Senior Brother, are you serious? You're not lying?" a disciple asked.

Lin Fan patted his chest and smiled. "Why would I lie? Bring it all now. My time is limited, and I have to leave somewhere soon."

He stirred up the crowd within no time.

"Oh my, I'll have to dig my spoiled weapon out."

"Yeah, me too, since they're valuable now."

"I'll be able to earn about ten YHB in a day, I'm so lucky!"

But most disciples were in a panic. They never expected scrap iron to ever be worth anything and threw most of it away. It would be hard for them to get it back all of a sudden.

Lin Fan stood there with a smile on his face. I will get a lot soon.

But knowing about how valuable YBH was, Lin Fan felt blood trickling down his heart.

My money!

But I can make grenades with it, so why not?

Wait, why is nobody coming over?

Have they not managed to find their trash?

"Senior Brother, how much is my sword worth?" A disciple's eyes shone, looking at him with anticipation.

Lin Fan stared at the sword that had been broken into three different parts and weighed them manually. Wow, more than ten kilograms!

"Erm, about four to eight kilograms. I'll take it as six."

The disciple stared at Lin Fan blankly. "Senior Brother, I remember it weighed more."

"Junior Brother, it used to be more than that, but not anymore. Look at your sword. Doesn't it look like it's been infested by bugs?" He pointed to the brownish spots on the sword. There were even holes in the spots.

Not knowing what rust was, the disciple stared at Lin Fan, confused.

"Your sword has been fed on by bugs, thus it's lighter. Since you're my first customer, I'll take it as seven kilos. How does that sound?" Lin Fan asked. "There aren't people like me around anymore. You're benefitting from this!"

Lin Fan was surprised with his nonsense. What bugs? I never have seen a bug that has such tough teeth.

The disciple understood Lin Fan and smiled at him. "Thank you, Senior Brother. Then I'll sell it to you at the price of seven kilos."

He gave Lin Fan the iron, while Lin Fan gave him money.

The disciple left in all smiles. He might not have earned much, but it was one-fifth of his daily earnings for something that was otherwise worthless.

He left happily to search for more iron.

Lin Fan smiled widely upon making his first transaction. "Who has yet to sell me your iron? I'm letting you guys earn. It will be gone if you miss it."

Suddenly, a first-class outer disciple who was eating peanuts walked past Lin Fan. He spit out the shell while walking by.

It landed on Lin Fan's shoes, but he pretended to not see it.

But Lin Fan saw it.

"Hold on."

This is too much! Arrogant. Eating in front of me and spitting on my shoes? Leaving without an apology!? This is too much!

Chapter 28: Not an Easy Person

Huang Fugui turned over and stared at Lin Fan in disdain. "What?"

Seeing this, the crowd dispersed within no time.

They could feel an argument would take place soon.

A third-class outer disciple who was following Huang Fugui around stepped out immediately. "My Senior Brother Huang is talking to you."

Lin Fan walked to him while caressing his badge. He raised his foot. "Don't you see this? Your peanut shell is on my shoe."

The third-class outer disciple wanted to retort, but seeing the badge, he swallowed back his words.

"Senior Brother Huang, he's a first-class outer disciple."

Huang Fugui rolled his eyes and sneered. "So what? I, Huang Fugui, am a first-class outer disciple too." He turned to Lin Fan and smiled thinly. "Then wipe it off. What's the big deal?"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth. This guy is too arrogant. If I don't teach him a lesson today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep.

"As a first-class outer disciple, you should be a role model for all disciples, but look at your behavior. Aren't you slightly embarrassed?" Lin Fan shook his head and looked at Huang Fugui in pity.

Hearing this, Huang Fugui went into a fit. He cared most about his reputation. "What do you mean?" he shouted at Lin Fan. "How am I not a role model? Make your words clear before I punch you in the face."

Huang Fugui stepped out, holding his fist at Lin Fan.

He was confident in his ability. As a Body Tempering Stage Seven, he was a famous figure among the outer disciples.

Even though Lin Fan was similarly a first-class outer disciple, Huang Fugui was not afraid of him.

Lin Fan turned to the crowd and got them to make way. "Senior brothers and junior brothers, what do you see on the ground?"

The disciples looked at each other and then the road. What?

They shook their heads in confusion.

Lin Fan stared at them and pointed to the ground, acting as if he was about to cry. "The clean road is now covered with peanut shells!"

The disciples understood immediately.

"The sect is our home," Lin Fan continued. "It's our responsibility to keep our sect clean so that it remains a conducive environment for living. But this guy, he cares nothing about our sect! How can he be called a role model? Which role model would dirty our home?"

Huang Fugui raised an eyebrow. What the heck is he saying?

"Me? Ruining the sect? What bullshit are you saying?" Huang Fugui snapped.

Buzzzzz

Just then, a fly flew over and stopped on the shell.

"Am I wrong? Don't you hear that fly? It's annoying, huh?" Lin Fan turned to the crowd.

The disciples nodded in unison.

"Yes. Very irritating."

"That sound gives me insomnia, oh my."

"After cultivating, I have become more sensitive, and it does affect me."

Lin Fan nodded, satisfied with the answers. "Look at your masterpiece." He pointed at Huang Fugui. "What if we were cultivating one day, and because of your beautiful peanut shells that brought along some noisy flies, we were affected and ended up making a small mistake that leads to grave consequences for our health? Wouldn't you be considered a murderer? As a senior brother, how dare you!?"

"What bullshit." Huang Fugui stared at him, red with anger. He never would've thought that this Lin Fan was so superb at bullshitting.

Lin Fan sighed and shook his head. "Senior Brother, it would be good if you just admitted to your mistakes. We are nice people and would forgive you for sure, but you're still denying your mistake and accusing me of bullshitting. Don't you feel any guilt at all?

"I'll give you a chance now. Apologize, and we will leave this matter behind."

The crowd got into a commotion.

"That senior brother is right. It may just be some peanut shells, but look at the possible consequences."

"Yeah, they bite me at times too. These flies are so irritating."

"Senior Brother Huang is wrong this time. I agree with this senior brother."

"I agree that Senior Brother Huang is wrong."

"This senior brother is right. The sect is our home. It's our responsibility to keep it clean."

Huang Fugui's face fell. He felt cheated.

As a first-class outer disciple with an ability that was above average and a wealthy family, he was a role model in many disciple's eyes.

But now, this guy had tarnished his reputation.

This is making me so angry.

Suddenly, Lin Fan walked up and snatched the peanuts away from Huang Fugui's hand. He cleared his throat and turned to the disciples. "I'll confiscate this from you on behalf of all the disciples here. Are you fine with that?"

"Whatever. Just wait and see." Huang Fugui glared at Lin Fan. He was aware that he would not win if he bickered with Lin Fan, and fighting with him was certainly not the best option.

I'll remember you.

Huang Fugui left with a huff.

But before he went far, Lin Fan spoke again, and the words made him so angry that he wished to kill him on the spot.

That madman! It's just some peanut shells and yet he blew things up like that.

Watch out. If I ever see you again, you'll be going to hell.

"Haish, it's fine. We do not need apologies anyway. I hope that all of you won't copy his actions. Let's hope he will reflect on his actions."

The crowd nodded. This senior brother makes sense.

And we should not learn from Senior Brother Huang!

"Okay, let's continue the business. C'mon guys."

Seeing that he had collected enough, he smiled and popped a peanut in his mouth.

Ooh! Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

Nice!

It tastes so good!

He chuckled.

Going against me?

Let's see what I'll bring you.

This stirred up the crowd. More disciples brought in their scrap iron. Woo, money!

Meanwhile, those who had thrown their scrap iron away earlier were full of regrets. Who could've known that there would be an idiot who would pay me for trash! My chance…!

If Lin Fan knew that anyone called him an idiot, he would surely beat them to death.

Chapter 29: Deadly Weapon

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After a day, Lin Fan managed to get himself some scrap iron. He was like a dog with two tails now as he felt that success was getting nearer.

Thinking about the sneaky bandits, Lin Fan saw red.

Snakes, a disgrace to their ancestors, and idiots.

When I have finished making the grenades, they'll know.

Lin Fan kept the iron in his storage ring and headed home, planning to collect more the day after and start making grenades.

Of course, the scrap iron he had collected was enough. But the more the merrier, right?

As soon as I have some grenades, the bandits won't be enough for me!

In Huang Fugui's room, he was in a bad mood for the entire day.

"Darn it. That dog deserves some punishment." Huang Fugui cursed. He had never been this embarrassed in his life.

A disciple ran over. "Senior Brother Huang, I have gotten information about him. That dog's called Lin Fan. He was promoted to a first-class outer disciple due to excellent performance during the war. I heard from a disciple that brought him his rewards that he's stingy and has a bad character."

Huang Fugui was not a smart person. He was seeing red, but he could not come up with any good ideas to deal with Lin Fan. "What do you think we should do about this?"

The disciple furrowed his eyebrows, thinking hard. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"Senior Brother, since that dog is busy collecting scrap iron, it must mean a lot to him. Why don't we hijack his business so that he won't gain anything tomorrow?"

Huang Fugui raised an eyebrow. "Collect scrap iron as he does? What do I need that trash for?"

"Aiya, Senior Brother Huang. Look, he will surely be unhappy if he couldn't get what he wants, and he would realize that his wealth is incomparable to Senior Brother's and he would back off by himself. How good is that?" The disciple chuckled, happy with the idea he came up with.

Huang Fugui took in the disciple's idea and thought through it. He laughed and patted on his back. "Smart. I'm happy to have a servant like you. Go and prepare it. Let's see how that dog behaves tomorrow."

"Yes, Senior Brother Huang. I'll do my best." The disciple went off, feeling confident with himself.

Maybe this is why Senior Brother Huang likes me the most.

The next day, just like yesterday, Lin Fan pushed his cart to the street where the disciples stayed.

"Collecting scrap iron! One YHB for 0.5 kilograms. Do not miss this chance!"

At this point, all disciples living on this street knew about Lin Fan, the idiot that collected trash. Thus, they spent their day yesterday picking up scrap iron, just waiting for Lin Fan to arrive. Hearing Lin Fan, all of them rushed over.

Seeing the items in their hands, Lin Fan chuckled. It will be a good day today.

Just as he thought that it would be a smooth day, an unexpected event occurred.

Ding! Ding!

The noise could be heard coming from the distance.

Huang Fugui's servant was standing at the end of the street holding a gong. "Senior brothers, come. We are collecting scrap iron at 0.5 kilograms for 2 YHB!"

The disciples who were about to sell it to Lin Fan turned to him.

"Oh my, he's buying it at a higher price! Let's go!"

"Man, since when is this trash worth so much?"

"I have no idea, but let's sell it to whoever offers more."

Lin Fan watched the disciples run off dumbfoundedly. What on earth? There's somebody snatching my business?

He turned around to see Huang Fugui standing arms akimbo, looking at him proudly.

He glanced at Lin Fan with a look of "Poor guy, let's see how you are going to beat me." in his eyes.

"Damn it," Lin Fan muttered. This is trash, what the hell are you collecting it for? You nugget.

Raising the price? Such a dog.

Holy god. I have never seen such a dog in my life.

This event caused a commotion within the crowd. The disciples ran toward Huang Fugui's cart, abandoning Lin Fan's cart.

Wow, trash is valuable now. I'll soon be rich!

Lin Fan watched the scrap iron pile up in the other party's cart.

On the other hand, Huang Fugui wasn't exactly having a good time. This is hard-earned money and I'm spending it on trash to take revenge on an idiot?

But watching Lin Fan glancing at him angrily, Huang Fugui felt that he was on cloud nine.

He could sure come up with some bullshit. I'll talk the sense out of him later on, haha.

Hmm, what should I say?

"Can you see this?

"This is what you can do with money, which is something you lack."

However, expectations always varied from reality; Lin Fan had already pushed his cart and went off.

The servant bought every disciple's scrap iron and came to Huang Fugui happily. "Senior Brother, it's all done. That dog won't be getting any."

"How much did it cost?" Huang Fugui asked.

"Twenty-thousand and four hundred YHB, Senior Brother," the disciple said in all smiles.

"What?" Huang Fugui's heart sank upon hearing the amount. "That much?"

Looking at the scrap iron that was piled up into a hill, Huang Fugui had a bad feeling.

…

Lin Fan went back to his place, cursing at Huang Fugui in his heart.

What the hell. This is such bad luck. Nevermind, I'll just ignore him. I have enough to create grenades.

"For the next few days, I'll use my brain and let everyone know how powerful Lin Fan is. Wait for my gifts."

Lin Fan snickered upon thinking about the scrap iron that Huang Fugui collected. Cry for your money, dude.

Trying to make a fool out of me? Do you even know who Lin Fan is?

Over the next few days, he spent his time making grenades, and he did not leave his room.

But during this period, an unexpected event happened.

The Tool Refining School's disciples came to collect scrap iron only to realize that the "trash" was valuable now.

0.5 kilograms for 2 YHB?

Might not even have any?

The disciples were struck dumb. What on earth? When did scrap iron need money?

They thought that they were being conned, but after asking a few more disciples, they realized that the scrap iron had grown in value recently.

"Junior brothers, they are really valuable now. 0.5 kilograms for 2 YHB. If you do not want it, then I am selling it to Senior Brother Huang."

The disciples from the Tool Refining School: "???"

Lin Fan, who was currently busy with his grenades, would never have thought that he had increased the price of scrap iron in the sect.

"Finally, it's all done!"

Looking at the grenades on his table, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief.

After a few days of hard work, he had finally produced these perfect weapons.

An 82-2 model grenade is a strong weapon.

Thirty of them… enough for me to tackle the bandits.

He couldn't wait to show them off to the bandits. Let them have a taste of how good these babies are!

I had to spend days making these babies and wasted a few days not cultivating! How would my hard work pay off if I don't have fun with all these?

Lin Fan kept them and went out of his room.

Seeing Lin Fan, Lu Qiming called him. "Junior Brother Lin, where have you been the past few days? I have not seen you around."

"Senior Brother Lu." Lin Fan turned around with a smile. "I was busy cultivating, and I have an errand to run today."

In Lu Qiming's eyes, Lin Fan had spent his days fruitfully and was feeling more confident so he was off to complete his mission now.

"All the best, Junior Brother."

…

Lin Fan grinned from ear to ear as he thought about the thirty grenades that were inside his storage ring.

As Lin Fan left the sect, he saw a familiar figure. Eh, it's Huang Fugui.

In front of Huang Fugui stood two women who were chatting happily with him. They should be his family members.

"Mother, take this. Younger sister is getting married, and we need a nice dowry so that people won't look down on us." He took out his remaining money and put it in the older woman's hand.

It was more than ten thousand.

The other woman at the side looked younger. She was chubbier and resembled Huang Fugui. Resembling your brother might be bad at times.

"Elder Brother, what about you?" Huang Qinghua looked at her elder brother worriedly.

In front of his family, the arrogance that Huang Fugui carried normally was long gone. He smiled and patted his sister on her head. "I will be fine. As a first-class outer disciple, there's no way I would starve. Take care of Mother for me, alright?"

"Okay, I will." Huang Qinghua nodded.

Huang Fugui looked at her, hating to part with them. "Mother, take care. I'll attend sister's wedding."

"Fugui, take care of yourself. Life is the most important thing. We will always be waiting for you at home." The older woman was filled with worries, but her child had grown and started to make his own decisions.

"Yes, I will." Huang Fugui nodded and sent both of them to the carriage. He only bid them goodbye after numerous reminders.

Lin Fan hid at the side, eavesdropping on their whole conversation. He's really nice to his family, huh?

He might have given them all his savings.

Watching his family leave, Huang Fugui sighed. He was having a bad time right now. As a senior brother, he didn't know how to reject the scrap iron sent over by the disciples. It's all that dog's fault. If not for him, why would I be buying useless trash?

"Hi, Senior Brother Huang. You look happy today. Did you strike a jackpot?" Lin Fan walked over in all smiles. "I didn't know that you had such a pretty sister. Lucky you."

Huang Fugui did not expect to see Lin Fan outside. He glared at him. "None of your business." He then stopped in his tracks after realizing that Lin Fan was heading out. "Going to complete a mission? I hope you don't die outside."

"Be at ease, Senior Brother." Lin Fan flashed him a smile. "The person who can kill me has yet to be born."

"Hehe." Huang Fugui snickered and went off.

Lin Fan shrugged and went off to complete his mission.

A few days later, on a hill, the bandits sat down in a group.

"Third in-charge, it's been days since we did anything, our brothers are getting impatient!"

"What for? The first and second in-charge are not impatient, so why are you getting impatient?" The third-in-charge shouted at him and rolled his eyes. "Darn it. Where's the dog that the Magnificent Flame Sect sent? Where the hell is he? Has he dropped into a hole?"

Seeing them, Lin Fan rolled his eyes too. These snakes. Forever in a group of ten. Will showing one person more cost your life?

"Ahem!" Lin Fan coughed and raised his 9-ringed broadsword, looking at them angrily. "Uncultured man! How dare you commit such an injustice action in broad daylight? Today, I, Lin Fan, the first-class outer disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, will teach you about justice! Time to die!"

The bandits who were about to fall asleep jumped up upon hearing Lin Fan.

"Third in-charge, that idiot is back again!" a bandit yelled.

Hearing the bandits calling him an idiot, Lin Fan blew his top. "Who dares to call me an idiot?"

"Me! So what if I dare?" The bandit stood up arrogantly and pointed at Lin Fan. "Kiddo, it's your death day today!"

Lin Fan sneered and threw a grenade at them. He pulled the pin and started counting down. He stood far away and posed, waiting for it to explode.

The grenade rolled to the bandit's feet.

"Eh? What's this?" The bandit stared at it in confusion.

The other bandits came to take a look too.

"Looks like a ball."

"Looks weird though. It's so small, what can it do?"

"There must something inside."

The bandits gave their opinions one by one and discussed with curiosity.

The bandit who had been trying to gain credit picked it up immediately. "Third in-charge, this thing must be something good!" he said with all smiles.

The third-in-charge was standing somewhere farther away, so he could not even see clearly what it was.

Lin Fan did a countdown in his heart.

Five!

Four!

The third-in-charge nodded. "Bring it over. I want to see what that idiot can bring."

One!

As the bandit was going to pass the third-in-charge the grenade, it exploded.

Boom!

An explosion could be heard.

His servants were sent flying in an instant.

The third-in-charge, who was originally curious about the grenade, was so shocked that he fell to the floor. He stared at his servants lying on the floor in disbelief.

"What on earth was that?" He was filled with fear.

Points 30

Points 20

Points 10

Points 30

…

Lin Fan stood at his spot, smiling as he watched the scene unfold. He gained about 200 points.

What a steal!

Seeing the bandits trembling in fear, Lin Fan went up to them with his broadsword.

"Trash, I'm coming for you!"

Seeing Lin Fan, the third-in-charge immediately yelled at the rest to show up. "Come out and kill him!"

Lin Fan, on the other hand, smirked and instigated him even more. "I'm going to kill for justice today!"

He took out another grenade from his ring and pulled the pin. He did a count down and aimed it at the crowd when there were only a few seconds left, leaving them with no room to escape.

Boom!

Boom!

Blood-curdling screams could be heard.

Seeing this, the third-in-charge gave Lin Fan a death glare. "If you dare, sheath your secret weapon!"

"Why not? Let's see who will be the one surviving!"

The third-in-charge ran up toward Lin Fan in anger with his weapon. "Go to hell."

"Talking about yourself?" Lin Fan pulled the pill of another grenade and threw it at the third-in-charge.

The third-in-charge jumped out of his skin seeing it.

"Shameless! You promised to not use it!"

"Help me, third-in-charge…."

"My legs!"

The screams of his servants travelled into his ears.

The third-in-charge's heart sank.

But there was nothing he could do, as this secret weapon was too strong for him.

It was deadly!
