42: Chapter 42 Lin Fan Breaks Through to Five-Star Martial Master

"Roar!"

The massive body of the Split-Tooth Porcupine came crashing over with a foul wind. Lin Fan shifted his feet, fully unleashing his Wind Shadow Step, and his figure drifted to the left like a ghost.

"Boom!"

The giant beast brushed past his clothes and slammed into a two-meter-tall boulder.

The boulder shattered instantly, stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Lin Fan rushed forward and struck out with his full-power Mountain Crushing Palm!

"Bang!"

The palm landed solidly on the Split-Tooth Porcupine's flank. However, its thick fur and fat acted like natural armor, dissipating most of the force.

The Split-Tooth Porcupine merely swayed, then turned its head and snapped at him.

Lin Fan hurriedly retreated, barely dodging that row of ghastly white tusks.

"Such thick skin!" Lin Fan thought, secretly alarmed.

He was well aware of the power of his Major Achievement Mountain Crushing Palm. Combined with his own 3-Star Martial Master Qi and blood, a single strike carried at least a hundred thousand jin of force, enough to pierce through ordinary steel armor.

Yet, hitting the Split-Tooth Porcupine felt like nothing more than scratching an itch.

The Split-Tooth Porcupine turned around, its scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Fan, and two jets of white vapor puffed from its nostrils.

It was clearly enraged, and the frequency of it pawing the ground grew faster and faster.

"I have no choice but to use the Wind-Thunder Palm."

Lin Fan took a deep breath, and his internal Qi and blood surged wildly according to the circulation path of the Wind-Thunder Palm.

Although the Wind-Thunder Palm was powerful, the consumption was not small. With his current Qi and blood, he could only strike with full power at most three times. If he couldn't kill it within three strikes, he would have to run.

The Split-Tooth Porcupine charged again, this time with even greater speed and a more ferocious Aura!

Lin Fan stood in place, unmoving, his eyes locked on the approaching giant beast.

Ten meters. Five meters. Three meters!

Just as the tusks were about to pierce his chest, Lin Fan moved.

Wind Shadow Step erupted at full power, and his body turned to the side, barely grazing past the tusks.

At the same time, his right hand, which had been gathering strength for a long time, suddenly struck out with the Wind-Thunder Palm!

The palm strike was like the wind, as gentle as a breeze brushing over the surface of the water.

The palm landed like thunder, and the violent power exploded the instant it made contact with the Split-Tooth Porcupine's head!

"Boom!"

With a muffled explosion, the Split-Tooth Porcupine's massive body was forced to the side, stumbled a few steps, and collapsed to the ground.

A deep palm print appeared on its skull, blood gushed from its mouth and nose, and after its limbs twitched a few times, it stopped moving.

Lin Fan landed on the ground, gasping for breath.

This single strike had almost exhausted more than half of his Qi and blood. If the Split-Tooth Porcupine hadn't died, he would have had to run.

"A Late Stage Tier 3 exotic beast is truly not easy to deal with."

Lin Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to inspect his spoils.

The Split-Tooth Porcupine's tusks were good Materials for making weapons, its fur could be made into inner armor, and its meat could also be sold for a good price. This one alone was worth at least two hundred thousand.

Lin Fan did not delay, quickly stowed the Split-Tooth Porcupine into his space, used the Qi Concealment Art to hide his Aura, and quietly left the valley.

He did not return directly to the city, but instead took a wide detour. He found a secluded spot on the edge of the wilderness, changed his clothes, and smeared some mud on his face before heading toward the city gate.

Caution is the parent of safety.

At his current age, exposing his strength as a Martial Master would be dangerous.

Back in the city, Lin Fan did not go to the Martial Arts Alliance. Instead, he disguised himself, found a remote acquisition point, and sold the Split-Tooth Porcupine directly.

Two hundred and ten thousand, in hand.

He did not linger, changed to another shop, bought twenty rank 3 blood vitality pills, then removed his disguise and returned home to begin Cultivate.

For the next few days, Lin Fan's life became extremely routine.

He left the city in the early morning to hunt exotic beasts deep in the wilderness. In the afternoon, he returned to the city, disguised himself to sell the goods, and bought Medicinal Pill. At night, he stayed home to refine the Medicinal Pill and Cultivate to improve his strength.

In five days, he hunted seven Tier 3 exotic beasts and earned over 1.5 million.

All this money was exchanged for rank 3 blood vitality pills.

And his strength improved rapidly amidst the frantic battles.

On the sixth day, deep in the wilderness.

Lin Fan stood before a Peak Tier 3 Iron-Backed Gray Wolf, his expression calm.

This Iron-Backed Gray Wolf was the size of an ox, its body covered in dark golden scales. Its sharp claws could tear through steel, and its speed was extremely fast. It was one of the most troublesome exotic beasts at the Peak of Tier 3.

It was comparable to a human 9-Star Peak Martial Master.

Three days ago, if he had encountered an exotic beast of this level, he would have only been able to walk around it.

But now, having broken through to a 4-Star Martial Master and having Cultivate the Wind-Thunder Palm to Major Achievement, he finally had the confidence to clash with it.

"Roar!"

The Iron-Backed Gray Wolf let out a low growl and pounced, turning into an afterimage!

Lin Fan did not dodge, but instead charged forward to meet it.

Wind Shadow Step was unleashed at full power, his figure weaving through the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf's attacks, barely dodging each one, yet doing so at the perfect moment.

After three moves, he seized the moment when the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf was catching its breath and struck out with a palm!

Wind-Thunder Palm!

"Boom!"

This strike was more refined than three days ago, and its power was at least fifty percent stronger!

The Iron-Backed Gray Wolf's scales shattered, and its entire body was blasted away, crashing through several large trees before stopping, its whole body flickering with a layer of electric light.

It struggled to stand up, but after twitching futilely a few times, it completely stopped moving.

Lin Fan withdrew his palm, looked at his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This Major Achievement Wind-Thunder Palm was indeed powerful.

Even a Peak Tier 3 Iron-Backed Gray Wolf couldn't withstand it.

He did not delay, quickly stowed the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf's corpse into his space, used the Qi Concealment Art to hide his Aura, and left quickly.

There were quite a few people hunting exotic beasts in the wilderness, and other roaming exotic beasts as well. The fluctuations from the battle just now might attract the attention of others or other exotic beasts.

It was better to leave quickly; he didn't want to have contact with others in the wilderness.

Otherwise, it would be very easy to expose the fact that he was an eighteen-year-old 4-Star Martial Master.

He changed his clothes on the edge of the wilderness, applied a disguise to his face, and then headed toward the city gate.

Back in the city, Lin Fan changed his disguise again, arrived at the previous acquisition point, and sold the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf.

The Iron-Backed Gray Wolf's scales, sharp claws, and tusks were all good things. Combined with the Materials he had saved up previously, this trip sold for a total of over five hundred thousand.

Lin Fan did not hesitate, changed to another shop, and exchanged most of the money for rank 3 blood vitality pills.

Forty rank 3 blood vitality pills cost him nearly five hundred thousand.

Returning home, Lin Xiaoyu was in the living room doing her homework. Seeing him return, the little girl immediately put down her pen and ran over.

"Brother, why are you so late today?"

"I went out for a stroll." Lin Fan rubbed her head and pulled a bag of roasted exotic beast meat from his bosom. "Hungry, right? Eat it while it's hot."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. She took the bag and began to eat happily.

During this time, Lin Fan often brought back exotic beast meat for her to eat, and she had gotten used to it.

Her health had improved quite a bit compared to before.

Watching his sister eat with such relish, Lin Fan felt very gratified. He chatted with her for a while longer before returning to his room to Cultivate.

He took out a rank 3 blood vitality pill, took a deep breath, and put it directly into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill entered his stomach and its energy dissolved. The Ten Thousand Dao Scripture operated at full power, firmly locking every trace of energy and guiding them to circulate within his body.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

In less than twenty minutes, one rank 3 blood vitality pill was refined by him, and his Qi and blood value increased by over fifty points.

One, two, five...

Lin Fan refined them faster and faster, and his Qi and blood value soared continuously.

"Boom!"

The next morning, when the last Medicinal Pill was refined by him, a muffled sound came from within his body, and his Qi and blood value broke through fifty thousand points.

The Qi and blood in his body were condensed once again, piercing through the fifth Extraordinary Meridian, breaking through to a 5-Star Martial Master.

[Ding! Detected that host's disciple Lin Fan has broken through to a 5-Star Martial Master. Synchronized feedback: Host's Qi and blood value + 20000 points.]

Just as Lin Fan broke through, a System notification sound rang in the mind of Han Ming, who was Cultivate at the Han Family.

"Boom!"

At the same time, there was a muffled sound in his body, and surging Qi and blood power dispersed within Han Ming's body.

His Aura suddenly shook, and he broke through to an 8-Star Martial Master.

"Hehe... As expected of the Son of Luck, this speed of Cultivate is truly fast."

Han Ming opened his eyes, felt the surging Qi and blood power in his body, and laughed excitedly.

It hasn't even been a month since Transmigration, right?

He had already broken through to an 8-Star Martial Master, stronger than what Third Uncle had achieved after Cultivate for most of his life.

An 8-Star Martial Master, combined with the Major Achievement Wind-Thunder Palm, who under a Great Martial Master could be his opponent?

It wasn't as if he couldn't clash with an ordinary Great Martial Master either.

Binding the Son of Luck to work for him is just great.

"System, open the panel."

After being happy, Han Ming said to the System in his heart.
