From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"I declare the winner to be Lin Xuan Qi from the Physique Peak." The judge raised his hand and declared the winner of the match.

"Senior martial brother, thanks so much for the match." Lin Xuan Qi stretched out his hand and helped Hai Dong get up.

He was back to his usual self, waving and giving out his trademark smile at the spectators.

Lin Fan walked up to Lin Xuan Qi and gave him a pat on his shoulder.

He was pleasantly surprised with Lin Xuan Qi's performance.

Around them, the spectators were now in joy as they cheered.

"Three wins! I've won sixty contribution points thanks to them."

"Hmph. Only sixty? I've bet all I got and now I've earned eighty contribution points."

"Some of you are still talking about how much you've won; smart ones already went over to claim their winnings."

Upon hearing that some had already gone to claim their winnings, the disciples quickly shut up and rushed over to the bookie's side.

The bookie was sweating coldly as he handed out the rewards to the winning punters.

He couldn't do much but curse himself for betting against Lin Fan.

He should've known better.

"Wait in line. I'm not running away."

As the disciples tried to jostle to get to the front, the bookie asked them to form a queue.

But the disciples went quiet.

Lin Fan walked over, and they made way for him.

When he got in front of the bookie, Lin Fan, with a smile, stretched out his hand with his wooden slab.

"Thanks for the contribution points."

The bookie's hand shook as he took out his wooden slab.

Six hundred contribution points.

That was all that he'd earned after so many years.

And now, he had to give it all away to Lin Fan.

He gave out a long sigh, gritted his teeth and transferred the contribution points over to Lin Fan's wooden slab.

When it was done, Lin Fan bid farewell to the bookie and left with the rest.

Disciples looked on as they slowly disappeared out of sight.

"Next year, the competition to get into Physique Peak will be so much tougher."

One of the disciples said and the others nodded in agreement.

They were already thinking of relatives and friends wanting to join the Qing Feng Sect.

And they were more than ready to advise them to join the Physique Peak.

...

Physique Peak.

Main Hall.

Zhang Xi skipped around while humming a tune.

It had been a very long time since she felt so proud to be part of the Physique Peak.

After years of taunts from the other peaks, now they had talented and hardworking disciples that would go far.

"Of course, Zhang Xi would be more powerful than us. After all, there's no one else except Sun Hai in the peak to take up all the resources."

"Sometimes I wish I had such privilege like Zhang Xi. Being the Peak Lord's daughter and all."

"Nah. The peak lord is impartial, just that there just aren't any other disciples."

The taunts replayed in Zhang Xi's mind.

After so many years, she could still vividly remember them.

Finally, it was over and it was all due to one man.

She quickly stole a glance at Lin Fan.

So many things had changed all because of him.

She couldn't wait to see how much better the Physique Peak would become in the future.

Sun Hai was also all smiles as he drank his tea.

He had also suffered for a long time being taunted by the other disciples.

It was time for him to stand tall and proud in front of his compatriots.

Intermittently he glanced over at the new disciples who were now sitting on the ground in lotus position.

After their win, the other disciples would focus on them next time and it was no time to slack.

Lin Fan was seated in a chair and held the amulet from Master Xin in his hand.

Since the new disciples were in meditation, he had time to gather demonic beast cores and to test out the ability of the newly upgraded amulet.

He had the demonic beast core of the guardian dragon and the nine-headed hydra.

But he wasn't about to use these precious demonic beast cores to test out the amulet.

"Senior martial brother, I have something to do in the back mountains." Lin Fan turned to Sun Hai and said.

"Get going, I can handle them." Sun Hai waved and replied.

Zhang Xi also nodded.

By now they were used to Lin Fan going off and doing his own things.

...

Back mountains.

Lin Fan hid behind a bush as he waited.

An Ember Wolf was going to the riverbank for a drink.

And as the Ember Wolf lowered its head, a dark shadow in the river came nearer to it.

Splash.

The being under the dark shadow darted out of the river and tried to snap its huge mouth at the Ember Wolf.

It nearly caught the Ember Wolf as the Ember Wolf leaped away in the nick of time.

The Lightning Horn Crocodile's horn then glowed with a blue light.

Whoosh.

A fireball was unleashed at the Lightning Horn Crocodile.

The next moment, a lightning strike from the Lightning Horn Crocodile's horn struck at the fireball.

Boom.

An explosion ensued and the fire from the fireball splattered onto the surroundings.

Before both of the demonic beasts could make their next move, Lin Fan thrust at them with his spear.

Splatter.

The Qi wave from the Abyssal Fang bore through the body of the Ember Wolf and Lightning Horn Crocodile.

Their flesh and innards splattered out at the exit point for the Qi wave.

Plop.

The Ember Wolf fell onto the ground motionlessly and the Lightning Horn Crocodile lay still on the ground.

Lin Fan went and retrieved the demonic beast cores from the bodies.

After that, he placed the two demonic beast cores into the slots in the amulet.

The next moment, he changed into a new form.

An Ember Wolf with a lightning horn on its forehead.

When the Ember Wolf leaped, it moved at twice the speed, leaving traces of lightning behind.
