42: Chapter 42 Instantly Kills a Superhuman-Level Ferocious Beast, His Strength Soars

Li Fan stared at the giant snake.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

This was absolutely a Transcendent Rank giant snake!

He had just entered the secret realm and was already targeted by a Transcendent Rank giant snake.

His luck was really something else.

But it must be said.

The pressure from this Transcendent Rank fierce beast was truly strong, far exceeding any fierce beast he had ever seen!

Boom!

Just as Li Fan was sizing up the giant snake,

the giant snake had already taken the initiative to attack.

Its massive serpent body turned into a blur, its terrifying speed seemingly warping the very space.

Seeing this, Li Fan absolutely dared not try to block it with his physical body.

He immediately activated Annihilation Eye.

and effortlessly obliterated the giant snake.

Boom!

The massive serpent body crashed heavily to the ground, shaking the earth with a considerable commotion.

Li Fan immediately rushed over and extracted the beast core.

However, Li Fan did not absorb it right away. Instead, he stored it first and turned his gaze to the woman not far away.

"I wonder if she's dead,"

Li Fan walked towards the woman.

If she were dead, he could conveniently loot her.

Anyone wandering around in this secret realm wouldn't have a low level, and they probably wouldn't be lacking in treasures.

Flipping the woman over, Li Fan now saw her appearance clearly.

To be honest,

her features, her aura... on a scale of ten, she had to be at least an eight.

And she was surprisingly young.

She seemed to be almost the same age as Li Fan.

Reaching this level at such an age most likely meant she had some background.

He checked her pulse.

Li Fan felt a slight disappointment. She was actually still alive.

He wasn't a bloodthirsty person. At least for now, he couldn't do something like taking advantage of someone's dire situation to kill and rob them, unless they provoked him first.

After a moment of thought,

after thoroughly looting all the valuable items from the woman's person, Li Fan took a healing pill from his space ring and stuffed it into her mouth.

Immediately after,

Li Fan turned and headed towards the snake carcass.

He'd given her the pill; whether she pulled through was up to her own fate.

Now he was planning to get some snake meat to grill, first to see how it tasted.

Anyway, he didn't know where to go for the moment, so he might as well rest here, finish the snake meat, and then absorb that beast core.

About half an hour later,

a fragrant snake meat feast was ready.

Sprinkled with cumin and chopped green onions, the aroma was simply mouthwatering.

Taking a bite, the flavor lingered on the palate, tender and refreshing—the taste was excellent.

Moreover, because the giant snake's rank was so high, the meat contained an immense amount of energy.

Li Fan only ate two or three pieces before already feeling full.

For Li Fan, this was undoubtedly an excellent ingredient.

Li Fan immediately cut off a large batch of snake meat and stored it in his space ring.

However, even after filling his space ring, the snake carcass before him still had a huge amount of meat left.

"It would be a real shame to just discard it like this."

Li Fan stroked his chin.

Then, Li Fan began pitching a tent.

He decided.

He would set up camp right here, dealing with the snake meat while training.

After all, he came to this secret realm to improve his strength. Resources right before his eyes really shouldn't be wasted.

With practiced ease,

in no time,

a standard pyramid-shaped tent was set up.

After handling everything, Li Fan then took out that beast core.

A Transcendent Rank beast core.

This was Li Fan's first time seeing one.

Just holding it in his hand, he could feel the surging, immense energy within.

Regarding this, Li Fan naturally didn't dare to absorb it recklessly.

He was only in his teens level-wise. Reckless absorption would have consequences too hard to estimate.

However, slowly guiding and absorbing the energy was feasible.

...

In the blink of an eye,

two hours passed.

By now, the beast core had been completely absorbed.

"Excellent!"

A gleam flashed in Li Fan's eyes as he let out a sigh of admiration.

This feeling of power skyrocketing was truly addictive!

Opening his status panel,

Li Fan couldn't help but show a pleased expression.

"Name: Li Fan

Level: Lv21 (25350/900000)

Strength: 37932

Defense: 36309

Mental Power: 30320"

A single Transcendent Rank beast core.

had actually allowed him to level up ten times directly!!

It really has to be a high-level fierce beast!

And this was achieved despite significant energy loss during his absorption!

Though, if it were an ordinary Awakened One absorbing it fully, they might have gained twenty or thirty levels.

But regardless, Li Fan was already extremely satisfied.

After absorbing the beast core,

it was time for training.

But not long after Li Fan started his training,

a figure had already arrived beside Li Fan's tent.

Who else could it be?

Naturally, it was the woman from earlier.

Several hours had passed. Under the effect of the healing pill, the woman had woken up.

Now, looking at Li Fan who was training, and the giant snake carcass beside him that had been cut into pieces, the woman felt her scalp tingling.

That Transcendent Rank giant snake that had chased her down, nearly costing her her life... had just become someone else's food?

Li Fan was wearing a barrier suit, so she couldn't see his appearance.

But she knew.

The person before her was her Benefactor.

Although she had already noticed she didn't have any valuable items on her, she wasn't too concerned about that.

Those things could be considered repayment to Li Fan.

Of course, mainly because there really wasn't anything particularly valuable.

She had traveled light this time.

"You're awake?"

Li Fan had also noticed the woman by now.

Hearing Li Fan's voice, the woman couldn't help but be taken aback.

This voice sounded very young!

In her view, the person before her was most likely a middle-aged Transcendent Rank Awakened One.

She never expected the voice to be so young?

Among the Transcendent Rank Awakened Ones in Beizhou City she knew of who were this young, there was only that one batch.

Could Li Fan be one of them?

"Thank you for saving me, Benefactor!" The woman didn't dare hesitate and immediately expressed her gratitude.

Li Fan nodded. "It's fine, just a small effort. Besides, I didn't save you for nothing."

As he spoke, Li Fan waved the space ring in his hand towards the woman.

He hadn't checked what was in the ring yet, but there should be quite a few treasures.

The woman couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed about this.

Had she known she would be rescued, she would have brought more things. The items in the ring were far from comparable to the debt of saving her life.

When Li Fan checked later, he might even curse.

"I still must thank you, Benefactor. If you hadn't intervened, I would probably be a corpse by now."

"How about this: there's my business card in the space ring. In the future, if you, Benefactor, encounter any trouble, you can go to the Shen family in Beizhou City and just mention my name."

The woman said solemnly.

She originally wanted to ask for Li Fan's name and identity so she could visit later to thank him properly.

But considering Li Fan was wearing anti-detection clothing, clearly not wanting to expose himself, she could only choose to reveal her own background.

Of course,

it wasn't that she was absolutely determined to repay this favor to Li Fan.

She also had her own selfish motives.

Li Fan, being Transcendent Rank at such a young age, almost certainly belonged to that batch. His potential could be said to be limitless.

Building a good relationship with someone like this would only be beneficial for both herself and her family in the future.
