Chapter 159: A New Skill Emerges

Unnamed Peak.

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

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

Lin Fan listened attentively, nodding occasionally. He was very satisfied with the report from Zhang Ergou and the others, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

For Tianyu to want to escape from here was undoubtedly a daydream. There’s nothing to fear in the open and honest, but one must fear being secretly targeted in the dark.

“Good. You haven’t disappointed this master,” Lin Fan inwardly chuckled joyfully. “However, don’t become careless either. This is a crucial period, and we cannot relax our efforts now.”

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

Seeing Zhang Ergou’s expression, Lin Fan immediately understood the situation. It was obviously about wanting “Big 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. Flatten any sharp corners inside. I must treat her well since I’ve finally convinced this little girl to become my disciple.”

“Yes,” Zhang Ergou and the other nodded and then exited.

To them, how enviable it was that the master cherished the little junior apprentice so much.

At this moment, Lin Fan summoned the Snow King Lion cub, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The Snow King Lion was a descendant of the ancient fierce beast, Nu Tian Xue Shi. To elevate the Snow King Lion cub to Nu Tian Xue Shi, bloodline purification was necessary.

However, for fierce beasts, besides self-cultivation, another way to enhance their bloodline was by consuming divine pills.

At this moment, a drop of Snow King Lion essence floated in front of Lin Fan. This was the essence blood from the cub’s mother, which held immense significance for the cub.

The drowsy cub sniffed the familiar scent. Though its eyelids couldn’t open, it extended its pink tongue and gently licked Lin Fan’s palm.

Then Lin Fan placed the cub on the ground. A flame suddenly erupted from his right hand, into which he cast the essence blood for refinement and purification.

Although letting the cub consume this essence blood would greatly benefit it,

this was merely Snow King Lion essence blood, not Nu Tian Xue Shi essence blood.

Essence blood was the core vital essence of a fierce beast. Although its potency would decrease after purification, Lin Fan was certain that through this purification, he could extract ancient fierce beast blood from it.

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

“Ding. Congratulations. You have refined one drop of Nu Tian Xue Shi blood.”

At this moment, the originally red essence blood had turned golden. Lin Fan could sense the ancient fierce beast’s majesty radiating from it.

Success.

Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. Although it was only a single drop of ordinary blood, it was the blood of Nu Tian Xue Shi. If the cub consumed it, it would surely gain immense benefits.

In today’s world, ancient fierce beasts had long since perished. For a Snow King Lion to undergo ancestral regression was extremely unlikely.

Nameless Peak.

At Lin Fan’s residence, Zhang Er Gou and his companion were reporting the battle situation.

“Master, since you left, my junior brother and I have been following your instructions to brainwash Senior Brother Tian Yu. In the past half month, we have argued three times and intentionally brainwashed him four times, with significant results. Senior Brother Tian Yu should have come to his senses by now,” Zhang Er Gou reported proudly. This was their first collaboration, and the results were quite satisfying.

Lin Fan listened attentively, nodding occasionally. He was very pleased with the report from Zhang Er Gou and his companion, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

For Tian Yu to think of escaping from here was nothing but a pipe dream. It’s not the open confrontation that one should fear, but the hidden schemes.

“Good, you haven’t disappointed me,” Lin Fan thought happily, though he cautioned, “But don’t get complacent. This is a crucial period, and we must not let our guard down.”

“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou and his companion nodded. Then Zhang Er Gou hesitated, “Master, you see… you see.”

Lin Fan knew exactly what Zhang Er Gou was hinting at—he wanted the “Big Fan Brother.” But Lin Fan himself was out of raw materials and had no stock to offer.

“Tomorrow you’ll get what you want. For now, go and tidy up the room for your junior sister. Make sure to smooth out any sharp corners,” Lin Fan instructed. Having finally convinced a little girl to become his disciple, Lin Fan naturally wanted to cherish this opportunity.

“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou and his companion nodded and then withdrew.

For the two of them, the master’s concern for their junior sister was truly enviable.

At this moment, Lin Fan took out the Snow King Lion cub, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The Snow King Lion was a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast, the Raging Sky Snow Lion. To elevate the cub to the level of a Raging Sky Snow Lion, its bloodline needed to be purified.

For ferocious beasts, besides self-cultivation, another way to enhance their bloodline was by consuming divine pills.

A drop of the Snow King Lion’s essence blood floated before Lin Fan. This was the essence blood of the cub’s mother, which would be of great benefit to the cub.

The drowsy cub, sensing a familiar scent, though unable to open its eyes, extended its pink tongue and lightly licked Lin Fan’s palm.

Lin Fan then placed the cub on the ground, and a flame suddenly appeared in his right hand. He threw the essence blood into the flame to refine and purify it.

Although feeding the cub this drop of essence blood would greatly benefit it, it was still just the essence blood of a Snow King Lion, not a Raging Sky Snow Lion.

The essence blood was the core of a ferocious beast’s life force. Although purification would reduce its efficacy, it was certain that the ancient beast’s blood could be extracted from this drop of essence blood.

The essence blood sizzled in the flame, gradually condensing until it was only one-third of its original size.

“Ding, congratulations on extracting a drop of Raging Sky Snow Lion blood.”

The originally crimson essence blood had now turned golden, and Lin Fan could feel the majestic aura of the ancient ferocious beast emanating from it.

Success.

Lin Fan was delighted. Although this was just an ordinary drop of blood, it was the blood of a Raging Sky Snow Lion. If the cub consumed it, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact.

In today’s world, ancient ferocious beasts were already extinct. For a Snow King Lion to revert to its ancestral form was extremely unlikely.

Even the Holy Sect only dared to claim a slight chance of success, not a hundred percent certainty. And this slight chance required consuming vast resources. If these resources were used on disciples, who knows how many small-tier disciples could be cultivated.

At this moment, the Snow King Lion cub suddenly let out a cry, as if something had attracted it. Though it couldn’t stand, its limbs were vigorously scratching the ground.

Lin Fan smiled, pried open the cub’s mouth with one hand, and threw the drop of blood into it. “Little one, your future depends on your own fortune.”

After the cub swallowed the drop of blood, its previously expressionless face showed a hint of satisfaction.

Its originally snow-white fur became even more radiant, shimmering with a brilliant light, a stark contrast to its previous state.

Lin Fan then put the cub back into his backpack.

“Uncle Lin, these are the items the master has sent for you,” a voice came from outside the door.

“Come in,” Lin Fan said.

The person entering was likely a disciple close to the master.

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

The beast-taming manual piqued Lin Fan’s interest, while the Snow King Lion fur was excellent material for crafting armor.

The fur was of no use to Lin Fan himself, but it would be of great benefit to his young disciple.

“Ding, congratulations on discovering the beast-taming manual ‘Beast Taming Art.’ Would you like to learn it?”

“Learn.”

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

It explained how to subdue ferocious beasts and tame them into companion beasts.

Companion beasts were creatures that warriors tamed using special methods to serve as their guardians. If the master died, the companion beast would also die, but the death of the companion beast would not harm the master.

However, this art, though seemingly powerful, was quite useless.

No warrior was willing to spend time raising a cub.

Moreover, while the cubs of ordinary ferocious beasts were easy to find, those of powerful ferocious beasts were extremely rare.

Thus, for modern warriors, it was better to save that time and focus on improving their own strength.

“Ding, ‘Beast Taming Art’ is interconnected with the secondary profession of Life Mentor. Would you like to merge them into the secondary profession ‘Trainer’?”

Lin Fan had initially planned to study it first, but upon hearing the system’s prompt, he felt a sudden thrill.

Trainer…

Training…

At this moment, Lin Fan’s face turned red, and a shy smile appeared, though he was filled with anticipation.

What kind of secondary profession was this Trainer?

It seemed quite impressive.

Lin Fan briefly imagined some inappropriate scenarios but quickly shook his head, assuming a serious expression. As the sixth master of the Nameless Peak’s Holy Demon Sect, how could he entertain such thoughts?

He was destined to become a towering figure, revered by all, the supreme emperor.

The successor who would lead the fallen Holy Demon Sect back to glory.

This secondary profession, judging by its name, didn’t seem like a good skill. As a man of integrity, how could he merge such a skill?

No, absolutely not.

“Merge…” At this moment, Lin Fan was resolute, dismissing all the hesitation that had just crossed his mind.

In Lin Fan’s view, people were not divided by status, and skills were not inherently good or evil. Everything depended on the user.

And this secondary profession, ‘Trainer,’ would surely shine brightly in his hands, nurturing countless talents and benefiting the world.

“Ding, congratulations on successful merging.”

“Trainer: No level.”

“Trainer: Tames all things, strives to nurture talent, possesses an innate training aura.”

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

Lin Fan smiled and pried open the cub’s mouth with his hand, dropping the blood inside. “Little one, from now on, it’s up to your own fate.”

After the Snow King Lion cub swallowed the blood, its previously expressionless face showed a hint of satisfaction.

Its originally snow-white fur became even whiter and began to emit a radiant glow, completely transformed compared to before.

Then Lin Fan returned the cub to his bag.

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

“Come in,” Lin Fan said.

The person was likely a disciple from the sect leader’s side.

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

Lin Fan was somewhat interested in the beast-taming technique. As for the Snow King Lion fur, it was excellent material for crafting armor.

Although these furs held no use for Lin Fan himself, they would be immensely beneficial for his little apprentice.

“Ding. Congratulations. Beast-Taming Technique ‘Beast Commanding Method’ discovered. Learn it?”

“Learn.”

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

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

Companion beasts were guardians cultivated by warriors through special methods. If the master died, the companion beast would also perish. However, the death of the companion beast would not harm the master in any way.

Although this cultivation technique appeared powerful, it was ultimately useless.

No cultivator was willing to spend time nurturing a cub.

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

Therefore, for modern cultivators, it was more beneficial to save time and focus on improving their own strength.

“Ding. ‘Beast Commanding Method’ is connected to the secondary profession ‘Life Mentor.’ Can be merged. Would you like to merge into secondary profession ‘Trainer’?”

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

Trainer…

Training…

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

What kind of secondary profession was this “Trainer”?

From its name, it seemed incredibly powerful.

At this moment, Lin Fan briefly imagined some unsavory scenes, but he shook his head and regained seriousness. As the sixth sect leader of the Saint and Devil Sect at Unnamed Peak, how could he have such thoughts?

He would become a towering figure admired by the world, a supreme emperor.

He was the successor destined to lead the declining Saint and Devil Sect back to its former glory.

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

No, absolutely not.

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

In Lin Fan’s view, people should not be judged by status, and skills should not be labeled as good or evil. Everything depends on the user himself.

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

“Ding. Congratulations. Successfully merged.”

“Trainer: No level.”

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