Chapter 238 - Swelling, Swelling
It was the dream of many to enter the Zhao Family.
When Qin Tai and the others learned that they were about to be listed as slaves; their first reaction was to disagree. However, when they saw the envious look of that servant, they felt that it was decent.
Apart from hired helpers, the rest of the people in the Zhao Family were servants. Although they were Master Realm Experts, in Zhao Family they weren’t much. This was why it was decent to be a Class Three servant.
Within the courtyard.
Zhao Bufan frowned. On his way back from Rong City, he was thinking about what to do.
He lost the Purple Gold Dragon Essence Pill. If he didn’t tell anyone, then he would be fine but if he told someone else, then things would definitely happen.
“Ninth brother, where are you going?” A voice asked.
When Zhao Bufan heard that sound, he didn’t even need to see and he knew that it was his eighth sister, Zhao Qing Mo.
In the distance, a tall girl walked over. Her legs were like chopsticks, long and thin. The skin she revealed was snow-white, like there was a layer of snow on it.
As she walked forward, her floral dress fluttered. Her beauty was top class and she gave off the aura of a top cold beauty.
“I am not going anywhere, I am a little tired, so I am heading to rest.” Zhao Bufan was arrogant outside but at home, his status was a little awkward. Especially toward this eighth sister, he was really afraid of and respectful to her.
She smiled, “Ninth brother, are you hiding something?”
Zhao Bufan panicked, he then calmed himself down and said, “You are caring too much.”
Naturally, that panic that appeared on his face was picked up by Zhao Qing Mo. Then, she smiled, “Ninth brother, you have to work hard. Now you are the weakest in the family. Let me discuss something with you. The Purple Gold Dragon Essence Pill is useless to you, so why don’t you sell it to me?”
Zhao Bufan smiled, “Zhao Qing Mo, I definitely wouldn’t give the Purple Gold Dragon Essence Pill to you. No matter what, I am a direct member of the family too.”
After he said this, Zhao Bufan left right away. He didn’t want to speak more with Zhao Bufan. He was afraid that the more he said, the higher the chance he would expose himself.
Zhao Qing Mo looked at Zhao Bufan leaving and smiled. She then looked at the servants bring three foreign men into the family. Her ears shuddered as she heard their conversation.
“Are you his lackeys?”
Zhao Qing Mo smiled and then walked toward the three of them.
Just one look and she saw their cultivation, Initial Master, they were extremely weak. They weren’t much in Zhao Family at all.
…
Several days later.
Nine Bug Gang headquarters.
The atmosphere on the ship was suppressive. All the gang members stayed far away from Gang Leader’s cabin.
The looks on their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.
Damn.
They were originally doing good but when they heard that the Yunlu City division was wiped out once more, they were totally stunned.
Lin Fan once more, that Lin Fan.
Was he going to fight Nine Bug Gang to the death?
“Is it going to rain? Why is it a black patch?”
“Probably, it suddenly turned black.”
“No, it isn’t going to rain, Gang Leader is just furious. Bugs are covering the sky. I suggest we hide in our rooms or this outcome will be catastrophic.”
To the gang members, they were very fearful of the Gang Leader who didn’t care about their lives. He killed them when he wanted to and didn’t need a reason to do so.
Were they just so weak that they could be casually crushed to death?
That’s right.
If one was weak, one would be casually crushed.
Within the cabin.
“I just want to ask you all, can you help me find this person?” Gang Leader was furious, his tone was scarily low.
The higher-ups lowered their heads and didn’t say anything. They were filled with hate toward Lin Fan.
Could he just stop?
Ever since he started to offend that Nine Bug Gang, who knew how many people died in the hands of the Gang Leader?
They might have a higher status but they were terrified in their hearts.
Ying Jiu kept silent. He knew who did it, he was someone beside Senior Brother. However, why did he want to do that? Nine Bug Gang was terrifying not because of these people but because of the Gang Leader himself.
Even Senior Brother wasn’t Gang Leader’s match.
“Eh? Why isn’t anyone replying to me?” Gang Leader asked.
The higher-ups exchanged glances with one another, who would dare to reply? Look at the situation, if you thought you were good, you could try. But in the end…
Slowly, the atmosphere within the room was really suppressive. Gang Leader’s aura made it hard for them to breathe. They were terrified of the Gang Leader, his strength made one feel despair.
They were thinking about whether Gang Leader was even human or not.
Even if Nine Bug Gang was Insect Valley’s subsidiary power, but Gang Leader was obviously different from normal people. He was like a monster.
“Trash.” A while later, Gang Leader opened his mouth.
He didn’t say anything more.
He just said trash.
Such an insulting word, but no one present dared to fight back, they didn’t even have such a thought.
All of them were like kids, lowering their heads, and not saying a word. They just waited for Gang Leader to insult them and then let them go.
Suddenly, Gang Leader seemed to have felt something and said dejectedly, “Scram.”
To them, what they loved the most was hearing Gang Leader say that. It meant that they were safe for now and didn’t need to worry too much.
Very quickly, all of them left. Who would even dare to remain here?
Ying Jiu was the same. He wanted to head out to find Senior Brother to ask about that year. He had the same thought that Senior Brother couldn’t have killed Master. There was definitely an unspeakable secret within.
The cabin was silent.
There was only Gang Leader’s breathing and the sound of fat jiggling.
A person dressed in a black robe walked out. One couldn’t see carefully as the entire body was covered in black robe but for some reason, a really dangerous aura wrapped around him.
Gang Leader looked at the black-robed man, the pair of eyes hidden under the robes were looking at him too.
Neither side spoke.
The aura in the cabin became even weirder.
…
After Lin Fan left Yunlu City, he didn’t head back to Martial Path Mountain. He was preparing to raise his strength to God Essence Realm before heading back.
“Yunlu City is going to end in panic. I sense Nine Bug Gang’s rage toward me. It seems like I need to head elsewhere.”
He had made his mind up to go to the death with Nine Bug Gang.
Anyway, Nine Bug Gang had other divisions, so he didn’t mind destroying those.
Taking a look at the small support system.
Rage Points: 58799
Not bad, at least in this period of time his hard work didn’t go to waste.
Improve.
Internal Strength: 420 (Peak Grandmaster)
He spent 20,000 rage points, raising from middle to peak Grandmaster.
His meridians were clear, internal strength spreading all around. Each meridian was filled with terrifyingly strong internal strength.
“Physique is a waste.” Lin Fan was contemplating. His physique couldn’t keep up and he didn’t dare to casually increase it. So internal strength was enough.
The Sword Seed he got from Heart Cultivation was strong. He felt that this was a Grandmaster technique, or rather a God Essence Realm technique.
“I can still improve.” Lin Fan felt that his internal strength was enough, he might be able to enter God Essence Realm right away.
Since that was the case, then why not push internal strength to God Essence Realm? The gap between the two realms was huge.
Improve.
Internal Strength started to change. This was a change in nature. A spiral appeared on Lin Fan’s head, like he was tearing at True Essence found in the Heaven and Earth.
The internal strength in his body suddenly changed, forming into a bead. Then the bead broke, turning into a watery mist. Was this internal strength turning into true essence?
“This change is a little shocking.” Lin Fan sat cross-legged, quietly sensing the movement in his body. At the same time, he was paying attention to the small support system.
As expected, the data on it changed.
True Essence: 430 (Initial God Essence Realm)
The realm he was in changed and internal strength turned into True Essence.
He consumed 30,000 rage points.
Lin Fan felt the True Essence in his body. He noticed that it was several times stronger than internal strength, no it might even be 10 times stronger. That was a whole new level of strength. It wasn’t even the same grade.
He used the True Essence in his body to make him fly in the air. He could sense a connection with heaven and earth. Although the connection wasn’t strong, it existed.
“I can fly.”
A look of delight appeared on his face, this was his dream.
At the same time, he had a new understanding of internal strength and True Essence. Internal Strength required one to train by themselves, to use it to target each acupoint in the body. That the body would produce internal strength by itself.
Simply put, internal strength was the ground and True Essence was the sky.
Using the Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth to strengthen his own body, this might be the difference between normal people and others.
He had a feeling that even if he was Peak God Essence Realm, he might not be able to fight against God Essence Realm Experts.
Maybe this was the gap between Internal Strength and True Essence.
Internal Strength was soil and True Essence was metal. Even if one’s soil was huge or tough, when it smashed into metal, only the dirt would break but nothing would happen to the metal.
“Oh my god, I can’t wait to raise physique to God Essence Realm. What kind of shocking change would happen then?”
Lin Fan was looking forward to it. At least to him, it would be quite terrifying.
Right now he didn’t have enough rage points and he lacked physique techniques.
He could only slowly accumulate them.
“Hehe, with my current strength I should be quite strong. I can only apologize to the Nine Bug Gang division. They were all done.”
Swelling.
His heart started to swell.
Although cultivation was tiring, when one became stronger, one would feel really fulfilled.
