From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lin Fan was in two minds about upgrading his beast ability or his physique level.

But after the battle with the elder man in the secret realm, he knew it was better for him to upgrade his physique level first.

He would have to wait though, as he didn't want to upgrade his physique level in front of the others.

Every time he upgraded it, he didn't know what to expect.

The only person he could fully trust right now was Ho Ming.

When the rest opened their eyes as they finished their cultivation training, Lin Fan joined in the sparring practice next.

It had been a while since Lin Fan had sparred with Ho Ming.

"Come, give me all you've got," Lin Fan said, and Ho Ming obliged.

He thrust one of his swords and shot a twirling wind shot at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan dodged easily with his Shadow Slip ability.

But Ho Ming was ready and, with his Thunderous Exploding Sword Technique, he made the ground explode.

Boom.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan used the Chain Leap ability and leaped into the air.

He stepped onto the air again, changed his direction, and leaped toward Ho Ming.

Ho Ming, with both of his swords, sent out a Cross Slash.

A slicing wave shaped like an X came at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan used his Shadow Slip again, and the X went past him.

When Lin Fan landed, he already had his spear next to Ho Ming's throat.

Ho Ming sighed, raised his hands, and gave up.

"You could do better." Lin Fan thought for a moment.

He then whispered what he thought of, and Ho Ming's eyes opened wide; it was like a whole new world opened up to him.

Lin Fan patted Ho Ming on his back and said, "Help stay on guard for me. I have something I need to do."

"Sure, anything you ask," Ho Ming replied as he started to try and think about how to execute what Lin Fan had just told him.

They went off and found an empty room.

Lin Fan entered while Ho Ming stood outside.

Ho Ming didn't know what he was up to, but he trusted it must be something important.

So, he mustn't screw up and put Lin Fan at risk.

With no one in the room, Lin Fan thought to himself, upgrade physique level.

The very next moment, he could feel his dantian heating up.

His Qi was uncontrollable, and it leaked out of his dantian like air coming out of a balloon.

After all the Qi was gone from his dantian, his energy started to wane, and he had to lie on the ground.

It was as if he had to be emptied before he could be filled up again.

And he was right as he felt his energy start to come back.

This time it didn't stop even after he felt fully energized.

It went on, making Lin Fan fear that he might 'explode' due to too much energy being poured back in.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Lin Fan felt twice as strong as before when it finally ended.

Next, his dantian started to receive Qi back into it.

This time he could feel the Qi that came back in seemed much more pristine and closer to the Dao.

As what had happened to his energy, his dantian got filled and expanded beyond its original status.

Making it contain twice as much Qi as before.

[Ding! Congratulations on upgrading your Physique.]

[Your Physical strength/endurance x 2.]

[Usage of abilities x 2.]

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 2/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]

[Current Physique Level: 7 (6400 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Points: 210]

When Lin Fan saw the amount required for the next level, he had to check twice.

It would be a very long way ahead before the next upgrade for his physique level.

He needed to find a way to get more vengeance points.

The best way for him was to try and eliminate more demonic beasts.

He could collect their demonic beast cores for the amulet and earn vengeance points at the same time.

Effectively killing two birds with one stone.

"Thanks, Ho Ming." Lin Fan patted Ho Ming on his shoulder when he got out of the room.@@novelbin@@

"Great, just in time for dinner," Ho Ming looked back.

He could feel that Lin Fan was different than before.

Ho Ming took a step back and looked carefully at Lin Fan.

But he just couldn't pinpoint what the difference was.

"If you are wondering, I should be at Foundation Establishment Level, stage five now."

Lin Fan said to clear the doubts from Ho Ming's mind.

When Ho Ming heard it, he couldn't believe his ears.

"What? You only broke through to Foundation Establishment Level recently."

Ho Ming frowned as he knew he again had lots more catching up to do.

When Lin Fan and Ho Ming joined the rest for dinner, they were already halfway through the dishes.

"It's nothing like the hotpot we had, but it will have to do," Lai Ming said as he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks.

The rest of them nodded; the hotpot they had at the wooden hut was the best meal they'd had.

"When we are done, let's have hotpot in my wooden hut again," Lin Fan said to the excitement of the rest.

Lai Ming closed his eyes, imagined the cold piece of meat was just picked up from the hotpot, and swallowed it.

It was nothing like the real thing, but it had to do for now.

Lai Qing shook his head at his brother's antics.

In his corner, Hu Tuo focused on his vegetarian meal; the hotpot wasn't so attractive to him, but he'd missed the atmosphere with everyone sitting around.

Zhao Jia Rui nodded as she also missed the friendly atmosphere they had.

And after what they went through in the secret realm, she was warming up to them.

Lin Fan ate and appreciated the peaceful moment they had.

He knew that it wouldn't be the same for the days ahead.
