Chapter 22

PS: Dear, please give me a few recommendation votes!

"Are you sure you want to accept this mission? You won't change to another one? You should know, this is a three-star mission, to hunt a fifth-rank demon beast, the Firewind Bear, in the Blackwater Mountains. You are absolutely no match for it right now."

At the desk, a woman in white with a pleasant appearance couldn't help but remind him.

The fifth-rank demon beast, the Firewind Bear, is a communal demon beast in the Blackwater Mountains, known for its strong defensive capabilities and dual wind and fire attacks, with a very prominent reputation.

Generally, outer sect disciples do not challenge such demon beasts alone until they reach the sixth level of martial arts.

"I don't need to, I'll take the three-star mission!"

Among many missions, Lin Fei chose the three-star mission because this type of mission offers rich rewards and can enhance his strength. An important point is that by challenging communal demon beasts, he can practice the "Indestructible Body of the Diamond" to improve his defensive capabilities.

After registering for the three-star mission.

Lin Fei turned and left, not intending to stay any longer.

"Hey, you forgot something!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded from behind.

"Something?" Lin Fei suddenly realized he had indeed forgotten something—the detailed records about the Firewind Bear.

Lin Fei's knowledge of the bounty area was limited to what the previous "Lin Fei" had left behind. Forgetting the documents was quite normal.

Sure enough, the woman handed him a document, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

"Junior Brother, the Firewind Bear is not easy to deal with. I advise you to give up this mission. You should understand that if you fail the mission, you will lose merit points, and losing merit points will affect your ability to exchange for Yellow Rank mystic techniques..."

The woman at the desk, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light white dress, was not particularly outstanding in appearance but was still a rare beauty. She had a faint smile on her cherry lips, exuding a lively atmosphere.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I like challenges; life is more interesting with challenges." Lin Fei smiled and said, then took the document and left.

The white-clad girl huffed, "Hmph, what an arrogant brat. I tried to warn you, but you didn't listen. I curse you to have bad luck!"

As she spoke, another woman appeared behind the white-clad girl, and a clear, ethereal voice, like the tinkling of a stream in the mountains, sounded.

"Yoyo, what are you upset about?"

"Senior Sister Qing You, you're out of seclusion!"

The white-clad girl ran out and hugged the green-clad woman, looking very happy, drawing envious and jealous glances from many people nearby, who wished they could be that woman.

"Of course, if I didn't come out, how would I know that our Yoyo seems to have taken a fancy to someone? Could it be that you're in love and thinking about a man?" The green-clad woman smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming.

"Hmph, Senior Sister Qing You, you're so naughty. You're the one thinking about a man."

...

After leaving the bounty area.

Outside, there were still many people coming to the bounty area to accept bounty missions, striving to complete various tasks to earn enough merit points or a large amount of silver.

The Xuantian Continent, a world of martial artists.

For a martial artist to rise to prominence and dominate the continent, various powerful mystic techniques are the primary foundation, with Yellow Rank mystic techniques being secondary. As an outer sect disciple, cultivating a suitable mystic technique requires astronomical amounts of silver and a large number of merit points.

A second or third-rate mystic technique can cost several thousand silver coins.

A Yellow Rank mystic technique can cost tens of thousands of silver coins.

The amount of silver spent on mystic techniques alone is a terrifying number.

A martial artist with fewer mystic techniques will be at a significant disadvantage in combat. Two people of the same strength, but one has cultivated several mystic techniques and a Yellow Rank mystic technique, will be enough to suppress the other.

In the Divine Martial Sect, family disciples and commoner disciples need to earn various merit points to obtain mystic techniques.

This is why the bounty area is so prosperous.

The Divine Martial Sect benefits from disciples completing various tasks, and both parties gain advantages.

Lin Fei understood very well that the woman's warning was genuine; most people wouldn't dare to challenge the Firewind Bear, as the danger is very high, and they could easily die.

"Who makes low-rank demon beasts give such little experience? Why should I hunt a fifth-rank demon beast, making things difficult for myself? What a pity... Oh, that girl earlier was quite nice, cute and tender. If I could hook up with her and taste her sweetness, that would be great."

...

"Lin Fei, you finally decided to come out. I've been waiting for you."

Just as Lin Fei was daydreaming, a low, angry voice came from the front.

The angry voice immediately drew the attention of many disciples.

Because this was the entrance to the bounty area.

"Heaven, isn't that Lin Fei?"

"Lin Fei is nothing. You should see who's standing over there."

"Who could it be? What, he's here? Could it be for Lin Fei?"

"How could Senior Brother Zhang Wanshan be here? Isn't he said to be cultivating a mystic technique recently? Could it be because of his brother Zhang Chongshan?"

"It must be. Lin Fei once displayed great prowess and injured Zhang Chongshan, and later defeated Zhang Fenglang. Who would have thought that this would force out a high-ranking outer sect disciple like Zhang Wanshan!"

"Lin Fei is in trouble. When Senior Brother Zhang Wanshan is angry, no one can stop his wrath."

...

When the outer sect disciples' gazes fell on the young man emitting a cold aura, they all shivered involuntarily, as if they were in a freezing environment, and instinctively moved away from the area to avoid the cold aura.

Zhang Wanshan, at the eighth level of martial arts, a Gangan expert!

Mentioning this name, no one in the outer sect disciples was unaware. Anyone who reached the eighth level of martial arts and had Gangan protection had the potential to become a Xuan expert.

Everyone present understood what Zhang Wanshan's personal appearance meant.

"Senior Brother Zhang Chongshan, are you almost recovered and want to continue resting? If so, I won't be polite."

Lin Fei's lips curved into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, and he took a light step forward, saying something that was hard to believe.

Is Lin Fei out of his mind?

The one who had been shouting at Lin Fei was Zhang Chongshan, whose injuries were gradually healing.

"Don't come closer, stand still, don't move."

Hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in Zhang Chongshan's eyes, and he instinctively took a step back, revealing his inner fear.

He had lost to the waste Lin Fei, and his brother's helper, Zhang Fenglang, had also been defeated and was still in bed recovering. He subconsciously felt a fear of Lin Fei, even though he didn't realize it himself.

Lin Fei didn't care about Zhang Chongshan. Seeing how quickly his injuries had healed, he was secretly amazed. It was no wonder, with a high-ranking outer sect brother, the healing pills had worked wonders.

His gaze shifted to someone else, and his expression changed slightly, his heart sinking.

"This must be Zhang Wanshan, a Gangan expert, one of the top thirty outer sect disciples, and Zhang Chongshan's older brother."

In his field of vision, a young man who looked similar to Zhang Chongshan stood coldly, like an iceberg, emitting a chilling aura. Even before he approached, the cold air made people instinctively move away, leaving an empty space around him.

The first thing that came to Lin Fei's mind was Zhang Wanshan's personal information.
