6: Chapter 6 Watching the Fun

"No," the System replied very directly.

Zhang Bufan's forehead was covered in black lines. This System was nothing like what he read in novels in his previous life. It didn't know this, it didn't know that. What was the point of having it?

The System seemed to know Zhang Bufan's thoughts, and its metallic synthesized voice rang out, "Host, your beginner rewards have been fully distributed. If you want to get anything from the System in the future, you will have to complete tasks."

"What tasks?" Zhang Bufan sat down on a rock and asked.

"I don't know yet. When the time is right, the System will naturally prompt you."

"There's one more thing. My Cultivation seems to be very strong, but I don't have any Cultivation Technique, nor any Martial Skill. What exactly is going on?" Zhang Bufan asked, voicing his confusion.

Other cultivators all improve their Rank by Cultivating Cultivation Techniques and gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. But when it came to him, he was directly given Cultivation, and nothing else.

"Host, you are different from the cultivators in this world. You don't need to Cultivate Realms. As for the attack methods like Martial Skills or weapons you mentioned, you can obtain them through your own efforts," the System explained.

"Doesn't the System have any? Can't you just give me a peerless Martial Skill?"

"Yes, but you need to complete tasks to get them."

Zhang Bufan was speechless and immediately gave up the idea of asking the System for Martial Skills.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just then, a sound suddenly came from Zhang Bufan's side, followed by a huge black shadow pouncing on him like lightning.

Zhang Bufan's mind stirred, and he blasted a stream of Spiritual Qi at the pouncing Yao Beast.

Bang!

The Yao Beast, still in mid-air, had no idea what had happened. Half of its body was directly blasted into minced meat.

It fell to the ground with a thud, its eyes still wide with terror even in death.

This was a Vajra Crocodile, a Rank 2 Yao Beast. Its entire body was covered in a thick layer of hard armor. It was skilled at quietly approaching prey and ambushing them from behind. It was bloodthirsty, brutal, and had astonishing defense.

If an ordinary Hua Hai Realm cultivator encountered it, they would have no way to fight it. If they were fast enough to escape, they might survive, otherwise, they would only become the Vajra Crocodile's food.

Zhang Bufan walked to the corpse of the Vajra Crocodile and searched for a while, but he didn't find the Vajra Crocodile's demon beast's inner core.

Yao Beasts below Rank 4 had a very small chance of forming a demon beast's inner core. However, Zhang Bufan didn't care. He wasn't here for the Vajra Crocodile in the first place. If this guy hadn't been blind enough to cause him trouble, he wouldn't have bothered to act.

The incident with the Vajra Crocodile alone was enough to show that the Wanfeng Mountain Range was full of dangers.

Although Zhang Bufan was not afraid with his strength, it was always right to be careful.

Zhang Bufan's Divine Sense began to sweep the surroundings. The scenery within a ten-kilometer radius was completely visible. Strangely, when his Divine Sense approached the middle area, it seemed to be blocked by a barrier.

Ten kilometers was certainly not Zhang Bufan's limit, but he had never Cultivated any Divine Sense techniques. He felt that his Soul Power still had a lot of room for development.

There couldn't be the Yin Soul Beast he was looking for in the outer area, so Zhang Bufan didn't linger and rushed towards the middle area at high speed.

Before long, Zhang Bufan stepped into the middle area. The environment here was slightly different from the outer area. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was much denser, and even the ancient trees were taller than those in the outer area.

Zhang Bufan continued to move deeper into the middle area. After walking for about a few minutes, he heard sounds of fighting ahead. As he got closer, he found five cultivators jointly fighting a Yao Beast.

These five people consisted of three men and two women: an Yu Ling Realm old man, and four Fusion Realm cultivators, all around 30 years old. They were all wearing unified clothing, indicating they likely came from the same Sect or force.

The Yao Beast opposite them was a Rank 4 Yao Beast, a Pan Cha Serpent. Its body was enormous, with a diameter exceeding one meter and a length exceeding thirty meters, covered in gray-black, hard scales.

The Pan Cha Serpent was a type of Yao Beast known for its strength, especially its innate Divine Ability, Death Constriction. If a cultivator of the same Rank was entangled by it, they would surely die.

However, at this moment, the Pan Cha Serpent was covered in wounds and blood.

The cultivators were also in a bad state. The old man had blood at the corner of his mouth, and one arm was already fractured. The other young people had slightly lighter injuries. Clearly, this battle was led by the old man, with the others only participating in side attacks.

Both the Yao Beast and the five people were in a standoff, seemingly looking for each other's weaknesses.

Seeing that there was a show to watch, Zhang Bufan was not in a hurry to leave, nor did he intend to participate. Instead, he simply sat down on a rock. He also wanted to understand how these cultivators and Yao Beasts fought.

"Master, there's a person watching over there. Is he trying to reap the benefits?" The woman holding a long sword glanced at Zhang Bufan and asked the old man.

The old man merely glanced at Zhang Bufan casually and said expressionlessly, "Don't mind him. If he wants to be the fisherman, he needs to have the strength. For now, let's deal with this beast first."

"Junior Sister, although this young man's Cultivation is unclear, given his age, he can't be that strong. Looking at his naive appearance, not understanding any rules, he's probably a young brat who just came down from the mountain. No need to pay attention to him." The young man holding a large saber carefully sized up Zhang Bufan, then slowly spoke.

Zhang Bufan heard their conversation, but he didn't care. Instead, he watched with great interest, muttering to himself, "If only I had a bag of melon seeds. It seems I'll have to prepare some next time."

The old man and the others exchanged glances, seemingly communicating something. Then, the old man took a step forward, and the long sword in his hand hummed, as a massive Sword Qi swept towards the Pan Cha Serpent.

The Pan Cha Serpent showed no weakness, sweeping its massive tail and directly deflecting the Sword Qi. Soon, the man and the serpent were locked in a fierce battle.

Of the remaining four, three moved around the periphery, launching attacks occasionally when they found an opportunity. Although they couldn't cause much damage to the Pan Cha Serpent, they could interfere with its movements.

Another Fusion Realm Late Stage young man took a long bow from his back, nocked a golden arrow, aimed at the center of the fight, and seemed to be waiting for an opportunity.

After several rounds of intense fighting, both the old man and the Pan Cha Serpent's Aura began to weaken.

The Pan Cha Serpent felt increasingly uneasy as the fight progressed. Both it and the old man were rapidly expending their energy, while the few people harassing it from the sidelines always maintained their peak condition. If this continued, it would be the one to suffer in the end.

Finally, finding a gap, the Pan Cha Serpent endured a sword strike from the old man, raised its thick tail, and fiercely swept it towards the old man. Its intention was simple: first eliminate the old man, then the other Fusion Realm cultivators would no longer pose a threat to it.

The old man probably didn't expect the Pan Cha Serpent to use such an injury-for-injury tactic, or perhaps he was just waiting for such an opportunity. He did not dodge, but instead held the long sword horizontally in front of him, clearly intending to take the Pan Cha Serpent's blow head-on.

Seeing that the old man had no intention of dodging, the Pan Cha Serpent's eerie blue eyes erupted with fierce light, and the power in its tail immediately increased by several points. It intended to use this strike to either kill or cripple the old man. As for the four Fusion Realm cultivators, it completely disregarded them.

Just as the giant tail was less than half a meter from the old man, he suddenly roared, "Wang Qiang, now!"

The young man named Wang Qiang drew his long bow into a full moon, aimed in a direction, and then a golden arrow, accompanied by the sound of tearing air, shot like lightning towards the Pan Cha Serpent's vital spot.
