Chapter 159: A New Skill Emerges

Nameless Peak.

At Lin Fan’s residence, Zhang Er Gou and another person were currently reporting on the battle situation.

“Master,” Zhang Er Gou reported proudly, “since you left, my junior apprentice brother and I have followed your instructions to brainwash Senior Brother Tianyu. In the past half month, we quarreled three times and intentionally attempted brainwashing four times. The results have been significant, and Senior Brother Tianyu should have come around.”

Lin Fan listened carefully, nodding occasionally. He was very satisfied with their report, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

For Tianyu to want to escape this place was nothing more than a dreamer’s fantasy. There was nothing to fear from open confrontation, but being secretly targeted was another matter entirely.

“Good. You have not disappointed this sect leader,” Lin Fan said, secretly delighted. “However, don’t become careless. This is a crucial period, and we must not slack off now.”

“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou and the other nodded. Then Zhang Er Gou hesitated, clearly wanting to say something else. “Master, look… look…”

Seeing Zhang Er Gou’s expression, Lin Fan immediately understood the situation. Wasn’t he asking for “Great Brother Fan”? However, Lin Fan himself currently lacked the raw materials, so there was no finished product to give.

“I’ll give you what you want tomorrow. For now, go help the little junior apprentice clean her room. Make sure to sand down all the corners inside,” Lin Fan said. After finally convincing a little girl to become his disciple, he naturally wanted to treat her well.

“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou and the other nodded before leaving.

To the two of them, it was truly enviable how much attention the sect leader was giving the little junior apprentice.

Lin Fan now took out a young Snow King Lion cub, his eyes gleaming. The Snow King Lion was a descendant of the ancient fierce beast, the Nu Tian Xue Shi (Angry Heaven Snow Lion). To elevate the Snow King Lion cub to the level of Nu Tian Xue Shi, its bloodline must be purified.

However, for fierce beasts, improving their bloodline required not only self-cultivation but also the consumption of divine pills.

At this moment, a drop of the Snow King Lion’s essence blood floated before Lin Fan. This was the essence blood of the cub’s mother, and it was extremely beneficial for the cub.

The drowsy cub sniffed the familiar scent. Though its eyelids could not open, it extended its pink tongue to gently lick Lin Fan’s palm.

Lin Fan then placed the cub on the ground. A flame suddenly flared from his right hand, and he threw the essence blood into the fire to refine and purify it.

Although having the cub swallow this essence blood would greatly benefit it,

this was merely the essence blood of a Snow King Lion, not that of a Nu Tian Xue Shi.

Essence blood was the vital essence of a fierce beast. Although its effectiveness would be greatly reduced after purification, it was certain that through refining this drop of blood, ancient fierce beast blood could be extracted.

The essence blood crackled in the flame. The single drop gradually concentrated until it was only a third of its original size.

“Ding! Congratulations on refining one drop of Nu Tian Xue Shi blood.”

At this moment, the originally bright red essence blood had turned golden, and Lin Fan could sense the mighty aura of an ancient fierce beast from it.

Success.

Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. Although this was only a single drop of ordinary blood, it was indeed the blood of a Nu Tian Xue Shi. If the cub swallowed it, it would surely have tremendous benefits.

In the current world, ancient fierce beasts had long since become extinct. For example, for a Snow King Lion to undergo ancestral regression, the possibility was extremely low.

Even a Saint Sect could only claim to have a slight chance of success, not a hundred percent certainty. And even that slight chance required the consumption of massive resources. If such resources were spent on cultivating disciples, who knew how many junior disciples of the Heaven Realm could be nurtured?

At this moment, the Snow King Lion cub suddenly let out a pitiful cry, as if something had attracted its attention. Although it could not stand, its limbs scraped strongly against the ground.

Lin Fan smiled and pried open the cub’s mouth, tossing the drop of blood inside. “Little one, from now on, it’s up to your own destiny.”

After swallowing the drop of blood, the cub’s previously expressionless face showed a hint of satisfaction.

Its originally snow-white fur became even whiter, even emitting a faint glow, a complete transformation from before.

Lin Fan then returned the cub to his bag.

“Master Lin, these are the items the sect leader has sent for you,” a voice came from outside the door.

“Come in,” Lin Fan said.

The person should be a disciple from the sect leader’s side.

Lin Fan glanced at the items—a beast-taming manual and some Snow King Lion fur.

The beast-taming manual interested Lin Fan, and the Snow King Lion fur was excellent material for crafting armor.

These furs were of no use to Lin Fan himself, but they would be of great benefit to his young apprentice.

“Ding! Congratulations on discovering the beast-taming manual ‘Beast Commanding Art.’ Would you like to learn it?”

“Learn it.”

At this moment, a flood of previously unknown knowledge appeared in Lin Fan’s mind.

This manual explained how to subdue fierce beasts and tame them into one’s companion beasts.

A companion beast was a guardian beast tamed by a martial artist from a fierce beast cub. If the master died, the companion beast would also perish, but the death of the companion beast would not harm the master in any way.

Although this manual seemed powerful, it was practically useless.

No martial artist was willing to spend time cultivating a cub.

Although fierce beast cubs were easy to find, cubs of powerful fierce beasts were extremely rare and difficult to obtain.

Therefore, for current martial artists, it would be better to save this time for cultivating their own strength.

“Ding! ‘Beast Commanding Art’ is linked with the secondary profession ‘Life Mentor.’ They can be merged. Would you like to merge them into the secondary profession ‘Trainer’?”

Lin Fan had originally planned to study it first, but upon hearing this system prompt, his heart suddenly raced.

Trainer…

Training…

At this moment, Lin Fan’s face turned slightly red, showing a hint of embarrassment, yet his heart was filled with anticipation.

What kind of secondary profession was this “Trainer”?

Judging from the name, it seemed quite powerful.

At this moment, Lin Fan had a slightly unpleasant thought, but he shook his head, his expression turning serious. As the sixth sect leader of the Saint and Devil Sect on Nameless Peak, how could he have such thoughts?

He would become a towering figure admired by all in the future.

The savior destined to lead the declining Saint and Devil Sect back to glory.

Such a secondary profession, judging by its name, was clearly not a decent skill. As a person of great integrity, how could he merge such a skill?

No, absolutely not.

“Merge…” At this moment, Lin Fan said solemnly, completely overturning the hesitation that had appeared in his mind moments ago.

In Lin Fan’s view, people are not divided by status, and skills are not divided into good or evil; everything depends on the user himself.

This secondary profession, “Trainer,” would surely shine brightly in his hands, cultivating countless talents and benefiting the world.

“Ding! Congratulations on successful fusion.”

“Trainer: No level.”

“Trainer: Tame all things under heaven, strive for excellence, with innate training aura.”
