“Beep! Congratulations, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ has been upgraded.”
“Physical Body: Mid-Stage of Divine Entry.”
At the moment of the upgrade, a surge of warmth coursed through his entire body. The ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ was an upgraded version of the ‘Titanium-Level Demon Body,’ and now it had become Lin Fan’s only defensive technique.
The glow within his physical body became more restrained, yet far more powerful than before.
Mie Qiongqi, who had been furiously punching Lin Fan, saw what had happened and his eyes widened in shock, unable to believe it. He could sense that the Sect Leader had changed.
“Use two layers of strength,” Lin Fan thought joyfully. For him, one of the most satisfying things was having tamed Mie Qiongqi. This was like having a personal trainer for free upgrades.
“Okay.” Mie Qiongqi had already realized that the Sect Leader was no ordinary figure. Although he was only using one layer of his strength, after so many punches, even iron would have been smashed to pieces. Yet, unexpectedly, the Sect Leader seemed to be getting more energetic.
At this moment, Mie Qiongqi could only think one thing: the Sect Leader not only enjoyed torturing others but also enjoyed being tortured himself.
However, he wasn’t foolish enough to say it out loud. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine what kind of inhumane fate awaited him.
At this moment, Mie Qiongqi’s aura surged, increasing his strength by one level. With a single punch, the void itself trembled with a loud crackling sound.
Already at the peak of the Lesser Heavenly Realm, he had completely mastered the Dao of Void. Each move contained supreme void power, capable of crushing everything.
Although Mie Qiongqi had suppressed his strength, this punch still couldn’t be underestimated.
“Boom…”
The punch collided violently with Lin Fan’s body, producing a dull, echoing sound.
“Beep! Congratulations, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +200,000.”
“Huh…”
Something was wrong. He had clearly told Mie Qiongqi to use two layers of strength, yet why did the experience gained seem even less than before? Could it be that this guy was slacking off?
But judging from the fearful look in Mie Qiongqi’s eyes, that seemed unlikely. Could it be that after the ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ upgrade, two layers of strength were no longer sufficient?
That must be it.
…
“Use three layers of strength.” Lin Fan ordered.
“Yes.” Mie Qiongqi dared not disobey Lin Fan’s command. Without hesitation, he struck fiercely again.
“Beep! Congratulations, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +300,000.”
With every slap from Mie Qiongqi, Lin Fan’s internal energy violently trembled. This must be the limit of what he could currently endure.
But there was no rush. Slow and steady would eventually raise the level.
…
“Little junior apprentice, what do you want to eat tonight?” The three people on Wuming Peak had their meals prepared by Zhang Erdou daily. Now that they had a new junior apprentice, and one whom the Sect Leader valued highly, Zhang Erdou naturally wanted to take extra care of her.
Even more importantly, whether he could transfer to the Ji Lan Peak in the future depended on this young master.
“Huh, where is this dull sound coming from?” Zhang Erdou slightly frowned, puzzled about the source of the sound.
“It seems to be coming from the Sect Leader’s direction,” Feng Bu Jue said.
“Perhaps the Sect Leader is refining pills,” Zhang Erdou couldn’t figure out what exactly the sound was, but it might be the sound produced when the Sect Leader was refining pills.
“Senior apprentice brother, I want to go take a look,” Cai Zhiqiao, who was sitting on Zhang Erdou’s head, said curiously.
When they left from Yong Tian City, Cai Zhiqiao would often cry and throw tantrums. But as time passed and with patient communication from Lin Fan and others, the child gradually got used to life here and stopped acting out.
In Lin Fan’s opinion, if she lived here for several years or even decades, the memories of her family would gradually fade away.
“Senior apprentice brother, this might not be appropriate. What if the Sect Leader finds out…” Feng Bu Jue said beside him. If they were caught peeking secretly, the Sect Leader would surely torture them again.
Zhang Erdou hesitated, but seeing the eager look in the little apprentice sister’s eyes, he gave in. After all, he was under her thumb now, and his future happiness as a senior apprentice brother depended on this little sister. If he offended her now, he would regret it too late.
…
“Alright, let’s not make a sound. Just take a quick peek,” Zhang Erdou made a significant decision.
“Senior apprentice brother is the best. Zhiqiao won’t make a sound,” Cai Zhiqiao said with her big eyes twinkling.
“Alright, let’s sneak a peek quietly.”
…
The three of them moved stealthily, tiptoeing without making the slightest sound, secretly crouching in a corner, peering through a crack.
When Zhang Erdou and the others saw the scene inside, their curious expressions instantly turned to shock and disbelief.
How could their revered Sect Leader be… doing this?
“Ah, awesome, great…” At this moment, Lin Fan closed his eyes, feeling the rapid increase in experience. This feeling was simply amazing, especially the look of pleasure on Lin Fan’s face, which made Zhang Erdou and the other two shudder in fear.
Could it be that the Sect Leader had such a preference?
At this moment, Zhang Erdou, who was secretly watching, suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. If the Sect Leader discovered them, it would be disastrous.
Especially since the Sect Leader and the new apprentice were in the middle of… that.
He couldn’t bring himself to think further; the implications were too horrifying.
“Senior apprentice brother, what is Master doing?” At this moment, Cai Zhiqiao asked in confusion.
“Shh, keep quiet,” Zhang Erdou’s hair stood on end at this moment. The little apprentice sister’s voice wasn’t quiet at all; it was quite clear and loud.
Lin Fan, immersed in the surge of experience, did not sense anyone outside. However, this crisp sound reached his ears.
Lin Fan’s expression changed slightly. Damn it, someone was peeking from outside. He didn’t even need to think to recognize that voice—it was definitely his apprentice’s.
And Zhang Ergou and the others were definitely here too. That punchable expression I just had must have been seen by them as well.
As the sixth Sect Leader of the Holy Demon Sect, how could I possibly allow my image to be ruined in the eyes of my disciples?
At this moment, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with thoughts, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
With a single palm strike, it landed heavily on the chest of Mie Qiongqi.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he spoke in a calm and gentle tone, “Just now, your set of palm techniques lacked sufficient power and had many openings. You still need more practice.” He then glanced toward the door and softly said, “Come in.”
Zhang Er’gou and Feng Buju exchanged a glance, their eyes carrying a trace of helplessness. They had, after all, been discovered in the end.
“Master, what are you doing?” Cai Zhiqiao, her small frame barely clearing the threshold, stepped forward and raised her head to ask Lin Fan innocently.
Lin Fan smiled faintly, patted his young apprentice on the head, and calmly said, “I was just teaching your junior brother some martial arts. Why did you come back so early today?”
Cai Zhiqiao nodded her head as if she understood but not quite. “Master, the sky is already dark. It’s not early anymore.”
Lin Fan was taken aback, then looked outside, only to realize how quickly time had passed—it was already dark.
“Qiong Qi, you still need to work on this set of palm techniques. You’re not leaving tonight — I, as the Sect Leader, will personally help you refine your skills,” said Lin Fan.
“Yes,” Mie Qiongqi dared not say much and could only nod, but in his innocent eyes were tears welling up, as if he were on the verge of bursting into tears.
Tonight will once again be a painful sleepless night.
