Chapter 6: The Clam and the Snipe Contend, the Fisherman Reaps the Benefit (First Watch, Vote Request)

  After the voice prompt ended, Lin Feng opened his character attributes.

  "Figure: Lin Feng."

  Age: sixteen weeks old.

  "Cultivation: Xuanqi Disciple 8th Level."

  "Skill: Double Skill, Level 1."

  "Experience Points: 18/1280."

  "Introduction: A miscellaneous disciple of Qinglan Sect, currently living in a dilapidated small room, unemployed, with poor cultivation skills, a small fry in the Jianghu world. Many people in Qinglan Sect can kill you instantly, but your strength is enough to dominate the Miscellaneous Disciple Institute. I hope the host will continue to work hard!"

  Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh when he saw the thousands of experience points. Indeed, did it really require that much? Although he had long known that the higher the level, the more experience was needed, yet when he saw the required experience, his heart still involuntarily added a hint of bitterness.

  Soon, Lin Feng quickly got rid of this mentality, his eyes firm and determined. The path to cultivation isn't something that can be achieved overnight. Compared to others who cultivate for several years before achieving such accomplishments, I've only taken a few short days to do so - I should be smiling to myself instead. Moreover, the higher my own strength is, the stronger the monsters I can kill will be, and the more experience I'll gain. In the end, it's not much different either way.

  Unconsciously, Lin Feng has been in the back mountain for half a month. Since Lin Feng's promotion to apprentice 8th rank, his cultivation finally promoted again on the sixth day, reaching apprentice 9th rank. He now has 1897 experience points and is still more than 550 points away from promoting to Xuanbing. There's no way around it, as finding wild beasts takes time, and getting this much experience is already quite difficult.

  Now wanting to quickly advance, the only way is to go to the higher-level outer court disciples' trial grounds at Tieshan Mountain Range. However, that place might not even be able to withstand Lin Feng's single "freak", because the "freaks" in that place are basically all above the soldier level of Xuan beasts, and can rival the Xuan soldiers' disciple level. And he is just an apprentice-level person going there, which undoubtedly means going to his death.

  Don't look at him now as a 9th-level apprentice, after using the double skill, he can hit out with 750 pounds of strength. However, if he really encounters a Xuanbing-level disciple, he is still on a dead-end road. Because his skills have time limits, only five minutes are available, and to explode again, he must wait for one minute of cooldown before using it again.

  And don't forget, those outer courtyard disciples can cultivate their skills in the Cangong Hall. Even if an outer courtyard disciple has only cultivated a mortal-level skill, and increased his strength by 20%, he would still have 1200 jin of strength, which is enough to crush him completely with just this one force.

  So, it can be imagined how powerful those Xuan beasts that can rival the Xuan Bing level disciples will be.

  Just after Lin Feng killed a wild boar, he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from behind. Lin Feng felt a surge of curiosity and quickly picked up the body of the wild boar, rushing in the direction of the sound to see what had happened.

  On the grass, a white ape was fighting with a three-meter-long, thigh-thick python. Lin Feng saw it and quickly hid in a dense thicket, feeling the aura coming from the front after a moment, his face changed slightly because he found that both of them were actually soldier-level Xuan beasts, a terrifying existence that would make all disciples of apprentice level change their faces. But strangely, how could there be soldier-level Xuan beasts here?

  But he didn't dare to make any rash moves now. If they found out that he wasn't small, he would be in trouble.

  "Roar", the white ape let out a loud roar, grabbed the tail of the python and punched it with its fist. The python wrapped itself around the white ape's body, causing it to feel pain and try to struggle free. However, the more it struggled, the tighter the snake's grip became, until its hands were unable to move at all.

  Helpless, it could only use the most primitive sharp weapon - teeth. A mouthful of sharp teeth bit deeply into the python's body. As time passed, the teeth sank deeper and deeper, and the white ape's upper body was stained with bright red blood.

  Lin Feng saw the two stagnant Xuan beasts, his eyebrows were tightly knotted, and his eyes flickered with floating light, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and decided to get rid of these two Xuan beasts. It was not easy to encounter such a situation where both sides were at odds with each other, and he would not let it go. Although there would be some danger, wealth and honor are often found in the midst of danger. Moreover, this world was originally full of danger, without risk, how could there be gains?

  Lin Feng, who had made up his mind, pulled out his dagger and slowly crept towards the two mysterious beasts through the cover of trees and bushes. When he was only five meters away from them.

  Lin Feng aimed at the throat of the white gibbon wrapped by the python, jumped out and took a few strides to get in front of them. In an instant, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the position he had just calculated, then immediately jumped aside, as if he had practiced this move countless times.

  He attacked the White Ape because firstly, Lin Feng knew the python's weakness but not the White Ape's weakness. All snakes have a common weakness, which is their three-inch and seven-inch positions, where their spine and heart are located. If either of these places is injured, they will die. Secondly, the python was already wounded and bleeding, so its fighting strength must be weakened, whereas the White Ape was not. Thirdly, the python was tightly wrapped around the White Ape, which made it unable to move and easy to hit.

  For the above reasons, Lin Feng chose to kill Bai Yuan first.

  But the fact also proved that Lin Feng was right, because the white ape had just bitten the python at a position that happened to be the python's three-inch position, which was the snake's spine. Even if Lin Feng didn't come out, the one who would definitely die in this battle would be the python.

  The white gibbon, struck in the throat by Lin Feng, died instantly and its heavy body fell to the ground, pinning the python's body firmly to the ground. The python itself was also unable to move, having had its spine bitten through by the gibbon, and it too was on the verge of death.

  Lin Feng originally wanted to settle the score with Bai Yuan after dealing with the python, but when he saw the python on its last breath and about to die, he suddenly felt a sense of puzzlement. Upon seeing the wound that wouldn't stop bleeding, he instantly understood. Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and ended the python's life with one slash.

  "Ding, killed a low-level Xuan beast White Ape, gained 500 experience points, obtained a Critical Hit skill book. Please check the backpack space, host."

  "Ding, killed a low-level serpent beast snake, gained 400 experience points, obtained one primary skill upgrade stone. Please check the backpack space, host."

  "Ding, host experience value is full. Congratulations, host has been promoted to Xuanbing First Order. Looking forward to the host's continued efforts."

  What a surprise, a real surprise! Lin Feng never expected that killing just one Xuan beast would give him several hundred experience points. And that's not all, each of them also dropped items. This violent strike skill book and primary skill upgrade stone are two items that sound incredibly powerful just by their names.
