Chapter 145: Level Up... Level Up

At this moment, Lin Fan prayed that a few more early-stage Divine-Entry beasts would come.

Once the hundred million experience points were full, he would immediately step into the mid-stage Innate realm, his combat power skyrocketing instantly, allowing him to contend even with the Divine-Entry realm.

"Uncle-Master, here it comes..."

At that moment, a massive beast corpse drifted over from afar. Lin Fan looked and was startled.

"Watch the finger."

Lin Fan shouted, immediately piercing the beast's skull.

"Ding, congratulations on killing the high-stage Innate beast, Snow Pine Tiger."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 100,000 experience."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up 'Flower-Touching Chrysanthemum Finger'."

...

Something's wrong. At this moment, Lin Fan was a bit angry. How could a high-stage Innate beast only give this much experience? It was unscientific, completely unscientific.

But then Lin Fan understood: although his cultivation was currently at the early-stage Innate, his combat power was comparable to the Divine-Entry realm. This high-stage Innate beast, falling into his hands, was doomed to die, with no difficulty at all.

Thus, the experience reward from the system was also relatively low.

After realizing this, Lin Fan no longer wanted to kill these beasts. He immediately shouted, "Nephew-disciples, look for any Divine-Entry stage beasts. These Innate stage ones are useless."

Zong Hentian, who was ahead searching for beasts to kill, trembled slightly, feeling helpless. Where were there so many Divine-Entry stage beasts?

This Misty Snow Peak was not a forbidden ground. Usually, the beasts around here were of low cultivation. If not for the Snow King Lion attracting some high-stage beasts here, there might not even be a single Divine-Entry beast.

"Alright, Uncle-Master, we'll look around," Zong Hentian replied.

Lin Fan was now in a much better mood. Only thirty million experience points were needed to fill the experience bar.

Now Lin Fan understood that to level up, he needed to team up with some highly skilled companions, have them throw corpses over, and let him deliver the final blow.

Otherwise, relying on himself would be somewhat difficult.

"Roar..."

Just then, a furious roar came through. Lin Fan was overjoyed; a roar so powerful and forceful must be from a high-stage beast.

"Fellow senior brothers, come help! There's a high-stage Divine-Entry beast here. I can't handle it alone!" A disciple's cry for help came from not far away.

Hearing this, Lin Fan was elated. A high-stage Divine-Entry beast? If he could kill it with one strike, he'd be set.

At that moment, Lin Fan saw a patch of trees ahead crash to the ground, and a powerful aura emanated.

Lin Fan immediately went forward and stood not far away, observing the situation ahead.

That beast was like a Western dragon, tens of zhang tall, like a small mountain.

Zong Hentian and the others surrounded the beast, beating it fiercely.

"Nephew-disciples, keep it up! Beat this guy down and let your uncle-master deliver the final blow!" Lin Fan's eyes were fixed, and he waved his arm, shouting. They had to kill this guy.

Whether this young master could level up all depended on this guy.

At that moment, the beast was covered in blood, its ferocity bursting forth as if it wanted to fight Zong Hentian and the others to the death.

But among the fifteen inner disciples, Zong Hentian had the highest cultivation, steadily suppressing the beast.

Seeing the beast suddenly enraged, Zong Hentian roared, and a palm descended from the sky. True essence condensed into a golden giant palm, carrying an invincible momentum, heavily pressing the beast down.

Immediately, the sound of bones cracking rang out. The beast was crushed to its knees, its fierce aura weakening. On its massive body, a deep palm print seemed to have pierced through its body.

"Uncle-Master, it's your turn." Zong Hentian roared.

"Coming." Lin Fan's heart was overjoyed. He stepped forward and thrust his finger at the beast's forehead.

A fiercely destructive aura surged into the beast's brain, wreaking havoc.

Boom...

The massive beast crashed to the ground, its crimson eyes staring unblinkingly in death. Having just traveled a thousand miles from another forbidden zone, it had not even seen the Snow King Lion before meeting its end here.

What a grievance...

"Killed..."

At this moment, Lin Fan was overjoyed. Finally, he had killed the damned thing.

"Ding, congratulations on killing the high-level Entering God beast, Blood-Horned Purple-Winged Dragon."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining thirty million experience."

"Ding, congratulations on breaking through the bottleneck."

"Ding, cultivation breakthrough to mid-stage Innate (0/200 million)."

"Ding, congratulations on unlocking the Fusion function."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining Blood Dragon Horn."

"Blood Dragon Horn: Refining material."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining one drop of Blood-Horned Purple-Winged Dragon's essence blood."

"Blood-Horned Purple-Winged Dragon's essence blood: After consumption, becomes half-human, half-dragon."

...

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a powerful aura surging through his entire body. Compared to his former self, he was far stronger—so strong that he could hardly believe it.

But what Lin Fan didn't understand was why the experience hadn't decreased. From past system upgrades, he should have been at a bottleneck. Once he passed it, the experience needed for the next level should have shrunk significantly.

Yet now, not only had it not decreased, it had doubled. This left Lin Fan speechless.

As for the Fusion function, it piqued his curiosity. He wasn't quite sure what it did.

But now was not the time to check. His little junior disciples were still waiting for him.

"Uncle-Master, how is it?" Zong Hentian asked.

They hadn't expected to encounter a high-level Entering God beast. It seemed that the Misty Snow Peak, due to the Snow King Lion's arrival, had attracted many powerful beasts.

"Very good. The materials are no problem. I must thank you all, my little junior disciples. When we return, your uncle-master will refine something nice for you." Lin Fan said with a smile.

Zong Hentian and the others also smiled. They couldn't sense their uncle-master's breakthrough at all.

Because the system completely concealed his aura. Unless Lin Fan actively leaked it, no one could detect it.

Afterward, Lin Fan and the others cleared the surrounding beasts one by one. Lin Fan paid no heed to the low-level ones. Only after they had cleared a safe zone did they stop.

"Uncle-Master, it's getting late. We should head back. Elder Yu has probably already communicated with the other sects, but I wonder how we'll deal with the Snow King Lion tomorrow." Zong Hentian's face showed a trace of worry.

The Snow King Lion was at the Small Heavenly Position realm, incomparable to those Entering God beasts. Even though its cultivation had dropped greatly due to childbirth, it was still not something they could confront head-on.

"Tomorrow, we must not fight head-on. Even if we do, let the other sects take the lead. Remember, don't show off." Lin Fan said.

"Uncle-Master, how can that be? This mission is not only to subdue the Snow King Lion but also to establish our sect's prestige. How can we let other sects take it?" Zong Hentian said.

Lin Fan looked at Zong Hentian and rolled his eyes. This damn hothead—it was a miracle he was still alive.

"Tomorrow, follow your uncle-master's orders." Lin Fan said.

Though Zong Hentian disagreed with his uncle-master's idea, he ultimately nodded.
