Chapter 92: Oath
Chapter 92: Oath
Three days later, Lin Fan opened his eyes, wearing a smile on his face.
To a cultivating madman like him, as soon as he started, he would not stop unless something happened. He had been cultivating constantly over the past three days. Every time he felt tired, whether physically or mentally, he would commit suicide and revive.
Power is my safeguard. If I do not wish to get killed, then I have to work hard and improve.
He pressed on the (+) to increase his cultivation.
Earth energy could be felt bursting out, surrounding Lin Fan entirely. Earth energy cleansed his bones. The Earth Inner Core in his dantian was spinning rapidly too, drawing earth energy all toward it as it became the center of an outburst and grew larger as time passed.
He had already gotten four skillsets to their maximum level, and Lin Fan currently had a strong foundation. Thus, Lin Fan was a solid Earth Star Border Stage Two after levelling up, not one that had the realm but not the corresponding ability.
But that wasn’t what excited Lin Fan the most. As an Earth Star Border Stage Two, his earth energy would be able to leave his body and make an attack about a hundred meters away from where he was. It might have just been a difference of one stage, but the increase in ability was qualitative.
Experience points -1,000,000.
Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage Two (+)
“Wow, the points required after I breaking through to the Earth Star Border Realm is terrifying,” Lin Fan mumbled.
As the basic realm, the Body Tempering Realm required fewer experience points.
About two hundred thousand experience points were required to level up from Body Tempering Stage Nine to Earth Star Border Stage One, but one million were required to level up from Earth Star Border Stage One to Earth Star Border Stage Two.
When Lin Fan cultivated the Golden Body Tempering Secret, he only gained three experience points per second. It wasn’t slow, but how many points would he require when he wanted to level up to Earth Star Border Stage Three or an even higher realm?
That was why Lin Fan believed that he needed to have a good skillset. It wasn’t a bad idea to improve the class of the Golden Body Tempering Secret either.
“Grandpas, rest at ease. I will take revenge for all of you since you have given me such a precious treasure before your deaths.
“I might be weak now, but I can already anger Jun Wutian. This is a big improvement.”
My heart hurts thinking about the grandpas who have died. How could Jun Wutian do that? It’s so inhumane.
I can’t tolerate this anymore.
Let me check my status.
Name: Lin Fan
Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage Two (+)
Experience Points: 33,070
Points: 200
Talent: Immortality, Ultraprecise Blade Claw
Specialty: Golden Body Tempering Secret (3)
Skills: Violent Mace (Max), Cruel Blood (Max), Mountain Quake Energy (Max), Violent Body (Max), Transformation into God Swordsmanship (Level 1)
Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), yet to be unlocked.
Wow, I have done well on the whole, but I still have to work hard.
“Junior Brother Lin, the apprentice ceremony is about to take place soon. Hurry up!” Lin Fan could hear Lu Qiming’s voice coming from his door. Lu Qiming might’ve been chubby, but he was hardworking and efficient.
After taking the Gold Essence Pill and the other pills, his cultivation increased by a stage.
He might’ve still been weak, but it was a good start.
In the atrium, the ground was paved with jade, and numerous disciples stood at the side. They were here to observe the ceremony, and it was a spectacular scene.
Many were envious of the disciple who was going to become Elder Tian Xu’s disciple – direct disciple, to be exact – soon. They were envious of what a powerful support the disciple would soon have and how powerful he was going to become in just a day.
To the outer disciples, they were curious about who the lucky disciple was.
As for the inner disciples, they were just filled with jealously and envy.
Elder Tian Xu sat on the throne. There was an elderly man with red hair standing next to him, staring blankly into space. He looked calm, but he also looked like he was about to burn holes into the space he was staring at.
“Tian Xu, you’re being too frivolous this time around,” the red-haired elder said. He felt that it was stupid for Tian Xu to take in an outer disciple as his direct disciple.
Especially one who had humiliated Jun Wutian in public. This matter made many elders in the sect dislike Lin Fan, as they felt that he was too arrogant and petty.
Tian Xu smiled, caressing his beard. He did not give a reply, but the expression on his face indicated how confident he was with his judgement. He believed that he had made the right choice.
The red-haired elder took a look at the empty seats that were set up for the ten peak leaders. It was obvious what the peak leaders were trying to convey with their absences.
Many thought that the leaders were unhappy with the incident and that the matter of Elder Tian Xu taking in a direct disciple was insignificant to them.
But in reality, the peak leaders wanted Lin Fan to know that, even if he gained power in a day and was Elder Tian Xu’s direct disciple now, he would not gain their respect; Lin Fan was still nowhere near them.
“The apprentice ceremony begins!”
Boom!
A bell rang across the sect, passing into the sky. Clouds scattered all over the place, exposing the sect to the flaming sun in the sky. Sun rays shone down onto the sect, making it glimmer.
A figure could be seen on the pathway paved with jade.
Lin Fan was dressed formally for the apprentice ceremony. He wore a blue gown with patterns of clouds on it. He also wore an ancient crown hair accessory on his head, and his hair on the side swayed with the wind. Standing straight up, Lin Fan looked refreshing and handsome, unlike the past.
“Junior Brother Lin looks so different today,” Huang Fugui gasped.
“We’ll have to call him Senior Brother Lin from now on.” Zhang Long laughed. They were truly happy for Lin Fan and happy for themselves as well. If Lin Fan got stronger, it meant that they would have a support behind them.
“That’s why I am calling him Junior Brother now,” Huang Fugui replied. “After the ceremony, he will be our senior brother.”
Some female outer disciples were aware of who Lin Fan was, and they knew what happened in the arena back then too, but the Lin Fan that was currently standing in front of them gave off a different vibe.
Violent, barbaric, gentle, elegant, and handsome... with all these qualities, Lin Fan was able to have all the female disciples screaming for him.
“Senior Brother Lin is so good-looking....”
Amongst the crowd stood a woman who was staring at Lin Fan with heart eyes. Her surroundings had disappeared to her, and she could only see her Senior Brother Lin standing in front of her.
Mu Ling watched Lin Fan silently. Unlike the other female disciples, she did not cheer for Lin Fan as she knew how points-deducting her looks were.
She only wanted to look at him quietly. Being able to see him was a blessing.
Looking at Lin Fan, Elder Tian Xu caressed his beard and nodded in satisfaction. “This kiddo is just like me. The only difference is that he’s younger and still lacking a bit,” he mumbled to himself.
Elder Tian Xu did not hope that Lin Fan would do extremely well. He just hoped that his new disciple could reach seventy percent of his power.
Lin Fan came to the steps. He shook his gown to the side and kneeled down on one knee. “Your humble disciple Lin Fan greets Master.”
“Mm.” Elder Tian Xu nodded. “Get up.”
“I, Tian Xu, swear that I will take in outer disciple Lin Fan as my direct disciple. He will carry on my legacy, and I’ll guide him with all my heart. Heaven and earth will not tolerate a violation of this oath!”
He said the last sentence strong and loud, as if making a connection with heaven and earth.
The red-haired elder’s face fell. Elder Tian Xu was making an oath to heaven and earth.
Lin Fan looked up, and he could feel a mysterious power surrounding Elder Tian Xu as if everything he said was heard and witnessed by heaven and earth.
“This is getting serious,” Lin Fan mumbled to himself.
As for the red-haired elder, he never thought that Tian Xu would make an oath. This meant that he sincerely hoped to take Lin Fan in as his direct disciple.
Nobody would make an oath normally when they conducted an apprentice ceremony.
And it proved that Tian Xu indeed wanted to hand everything to Lin Fan. Why? Did his cultivation go wrong and turn him crazy?
