5: Chapter 5 Hero Saves the Beauty
Unexpectedly, even after bypassing the Blaze Beast, Yu Xiaotang still arrived. Fairy Pei saving her was also because she was besieged by Blaze Beasts.
Just as Lin Kuang was wondering how to approach her, Yu Xiaotang had already spotted him and flew toward Lin Kuang on her sword.
Furthermore, Lin Kuang realized that the Blaze Beasts behind Yu Xiaotang were the exact same group he had just evaded. It was unexpected that even the heavens were helping him!
[Ding! Triggered mission: Rescue Yu Xiaotang, repel the Blaze Beast pack!]
[Mission reward: Host gains 10% all-attribute resistance.]
Oh? The System mission just popped up like that; now I can really show what I'm made of.
I didn't expect the System to give me so much resistance! It looks like it intends for me to Cultivate both body and sword!
Lin Kuang rode his sword in the air, intending to let Yu Xiaotang pass first, but perhaps she was annoyed by the harassment of the Blaze Beasts and didn't watch where she was going, crashing straight into him.
Lin Kuang had no choice but to help Yu Xiaotang stabilize her posture, and his position was just right, catching her firmly on a soft mound.
Although this soft mound was not as good as Yuhan's, it was indeed soft and tender.
Feeling the abnormality in her body, a blush immediately crept up Yu Xiaotang's cheeks. Just as she was about to curse Lin Kuang, she heard the roaring Blaze Beast pack behind her, and only then did she realize that Lin Kuang was not taking advantage of her, but was preparing to help her.
"Thank you..." Before Yu Xiaotang could finish, the Blaze Beasts behind her had already surrounded them. Seeing this, Yu Xiaotang said anxiously: "Let's run quickly!"
"What are you panicking about? Just hide behind me!" Lin Kuang turned slightly, steadied Yu Xiaotang, clenched his fist, and lightning began to roar.
Seeing Lin Kuang preparing to counterattack, Yu Xiaotang said worriedly: "Don't be impulsive! Blaze Beasts are pack-dwelling Spirit Beasts, there are probably dozens more behind, and..."
Lin Kuang glanced at the baring-fanged Blaze Beast pack behind them and just smiled slightly: "Just a bunch of experience packs! Let me show you my Five Thunder Vibration Drum!"
Boom—
The Five Thunder Vibration Drum was also incredibly excited to see so many Blaze Beasts! It began to release power crazily!
Zzz—la—
"Power of the Five Thunders, the world shakes! Thunderbolt Strike!" Lin Kuang's arm was immediately surrounded by violent lightning power.
The moment the Thunderbolt Strike was unleashed, he immediately formed seals and chanted incantations to summon the thunderclap sword!
Feeling the buff from the thunderclap sword, the output of the Five Thunder Vibration Drum reached a new level.
Just at this moment, the group of Blaze Beasts recklessly charged forward.
The thunderclap sword merged directly with the Thunderbolt Strike, forming a giant bear about five meters tall that pounced over. With the support of the thunderclap sword, it could unleash at least 50% of the power of the Thunderbolt Strike.
For a moment, the Blaze Beasts scorched by the Thunderbolt Strike fell one after another from the sky.
[Five Thunder Vibration Drum Cultivation value increased from 1 to 9]
Dozens of Blaze Beasts increased the Cultivation value of the Five Thunder Vibration Drum significantly. Although this experience wasn't much, it was more than enough for the early stage, reaching 9 in Cultivation value at once, and it would soon be able to Breakthrough.
After resolving the besieged Blaze Beasts, a warm feeling rose from the bottom up; this was the resistance from the completed mission.
This increase in resistance didn't feel like the increase in physical strength from the first time, and his muscles didn't become firmer like that time either; he just felt much more refreshed.
Lin Kuang's strength shocked Yu Xiaotang endlessly, and it took a while for her to recover before she slowly moved behind Lin Kuang.
"Your sword technique is amazing, you can even manifest it into a shape for attacks!"
"Of course, my Master is Fairy Pei, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. The sword techniques she teaches are not bad, it's just that I'm a bit slow." After Lin Kuang humbly replied to Yu Xiaotang, he began to introduce himself: "Hello, I am Lin Kuang, a Disciple of the Sword Sect!"
"Hello! I am Yu Xiaotang, from the Yu family of the North City." Yu Xiaotang's introduction was very simple.
However, this caught Lin Kuang's attention. The Yu family of the North City? There didn't seem to be any introduction in the novel; could it be related to the demonic Sword Intent Yu Xiaotang used during the later grand competition?
"I was searching for herbs nearby, but I accidentally pulled on the tail hair of a Blaze Beast!"
"Fortunately, I met you. This rescue is a huge favor, and when I have time, I will definitely repay you well! Keep this as a token!"
Yu Xiaotang handed Lin Kuang a black silk ribbon.
Then she bowed deeply to express her gratitude, and her wonderful figure flashed past Lin Kuang through her collar.
Looking at the curvaceous Yu Xiaotang, Lin Kuang always felt she was much bigger than in the novel. Perhaps it was just different from imagining it in the novel versus seeing it with his own eyes!
Or perhaps Yu Xiaotang was in a growth phase now, and she looked much better in figure.
"Alright, when the time comes, I will definitely make you pay for a huge meal!" Lin Kuang said gently.
[Hidden mission (Dominate the World): Conquer all the beauties of Qiongming, current progress (1/12), already conquered: Pei Yuhan]
[Mission reward: Obtain an Immortal Cave in the Heavenly Palace, can teleport the beauties to the Heavenly Palace without distance restrictions, four times a week]
What the heck! This mission is a big one, and the reward is so cool. But I'm already Cultivating, why is there still a weekly limit? Are they afraid I'll be drained?
But four days is enough. If I really damage my Foundation, it will hinder me from continuing to Cultivate!
The difficulty of conquering them isn't very high, I just don't know what process the later missions will require to conquer them. But no panic, I'll Cultivate while conquering!
Yu Xiaotang also readily agreed to Lin Kuang's request: "Remember! When the time comes, come to my house, and I will treat you to a good meal!"
At this moment, Lin Kuang had just finished reading the mission and said happily: "It's a deal! When the time comes, I will definitely eat your most precious feast!"
"Mm, it's a deal! Bye bye!" Yu Xiaotang didn't think much about the double meaning in Lin Kuang's words and happily stretched.
While the two were chatting and laughing, a rainbow drifted across the sky, carrying cyan sparks!
Lin Kuang looked toward the rainbow; a cyan nine-tailed giant bird was flying in the sky, and that rainbow was the trail it left behind!
Lin Kuang frowned slightly. Could this appearance be the Divine Beast Qingluan from the records?
Whoosh—
The Five Thunder Vibration Drum also seemed to sense the aura of the Divine Beast and fired heart-shaped light rings toward its position.
It looked like the Five Thunder Vibration Drum had no attack power left at all.
"Hahaha! I am truly too naive, only at the first stage of Cultivation and already thinking about conquering a Divine Beast!" Lin Kuang placed his palm on his face, mocking himself internally.
I was too arrogant. I should just record the Qingluan! Maybe one day I will conquer this Divine Beast!
Lin Kuang actually didn't know how to use the recording Jade Slip; he just kept aiming at the Qingluan, wishing he could record every single feather on its body.
Watching Lin Kuang's strange actions, Yu Xiaotang felt puzzled: "Isn't this just a slightly stronger Spirit Beast? There's no need to be this excited, right?"
"Spirit Beast? Strong? Hahaha!" Lin Kuang smiled without explaining. How could Yu Xiaotang know at this time that this was a Divine Beast?
This was a Spirit Pet that countless Transcendent Cultivators dreamed of!
OK! It should be done recording, right? Lin Kuang just opened the recording Jade Slip and found only the name; there was no other information.
"Hahaha! It really is a Qingluan! Good luck, let's go!" Lin Kuang happily put away the recording Jade Slip.
