C9 Raise Strength

"Right, that old fellow deserves to die. Damn it, he used to deduct my pills every month. If I had those pills, I might have already become an Inner Sect disciple."

"That old fellow deserved to die. Senior Brother Lu did a good job!"

"Incompetent, that old man should long be killed!"

The surrounding Cultivators were mostly disciples of chores, and there were quite a few that were bullied by Steward Li. If it were before, they wouldn't dare to say so.

But now that Steward Li was dead, and that what Lu Zixuan said had caused their blood to boil, they all shouted out, and some of them even ran to the corpse of Steward Li and stepped on it fiercely.

"Senior Sister Zhao, may I ask what did I do wrong?!"

Lu Zixuan had already approached Zhao Jing'er as he said this with a cold expression.

"Good! Very good!"

"Lu Zixuan, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. If anything you have said turns out wrong, just you wait!"

Zhao Jing'er's chest rose up and down. She glanced at Lu Zixuan and the rest of the disciples, then led her people and left.

"Chick, sooner or later I will let you know just how powerful I am!"

After the law enforcement disciples left, Li Zixuan said angrily in his heart.

"Senior Brother Lu, that Steward Li was one of Steward Wang's men. Now that he is dead, Steward Wang will definitely not let this matter rest."

Returning back to his residence, Zhang Heng let out a long sigh as he spoke with some guilt.

"Steward Wang?"

Lu Zixuan's brows tightened as he mulled over these two words. He suddenly remembered that Steward Li had also mentioned this before.

"Steward Wang is the manager of the Outer Sect and he is in charge of all the Outer Sect matters. He is even in charge of the Inner Sect Assessment in one month. If we have offended him, then it will be hard for us to become Inner Sect disciples."

Zhang Heng sighed once again.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan' for activating the mission for the Inner Sect Assessment."

"In the Inner Sect Assessment, you will be rewarded 5000 points of Exchange Value and 3000 Genuine Qi Points if you enter the top five."

"In the Inner Sect Assessment, if you enter the top three, you will be rewarded with 8,000 points of Exchange Value and 5,000 Genuine Qi Points."

"In the Inner Sect Assessment, if you become the winner, you will be rewarded with 8,000 points of Exchange Value, 5000 Genuine Qi Points, and a large gift pack."

"That old fellow had better not provoke me. If he provokes me, I'll let him know what color is blood!"

When the system beeps sounded out, Lu Zixuan's face revealed a cold smile.

So what if this Steward Wang was powerful?

However powerful he might be, could he be more powerful than the upgrade system?

When he became an Inner Sect disciple, he'll stomp on this Steward Wang however he wanted to!

"Upgrade. I will upgrade within a month. I want to become an Inner Sect disciple!"

Lu Zixuan said in his heart.

"Wind Rift Valley is a rather dangerous place nearby, but it is also a perfect place for cultivation. I should be able to raise my Gale Slash and Phantom Step here!"

In the valley, the wind whistled, causing Lu Zixuan's figure to sway a little.

Using both Gale Slash and Phantom Step, he cultivated in the violent wind, in order to continue improving his own strength.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan'. Gale Slash Proficiency plus 1!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan'. Phantom Step Proficiency plus 0!"

His Gale Slash Proficiency was upgrading!

His Phantom Step Proficiency was also upgrading!

The system beeps rang in Lu Zixuan's mind. The Proficiency of his Gale Slash and Phantom Step was quickly increasing.

"The deeper I go into the Wind Rift Valley, the stronger the gales are and the more Demonic Beasts there are. I need to go deeper so as to increase my strength even more quickly."

In less than a day's time, the Proficiency of his Gale Slash and Phantom Step had increased by more than 50 points.

Lu Zixuan was no longer satisfied with the periphery of the Wind Rift Valley, and directly walked towards the depths.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan'. Gale Slash's Proficiency plus 2!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan. Phantom Step Proficiency plus 0!"

As he went deeper, the Proficiency increased more and more.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan'. The Gale Slash proficiency has reached 200. Do you want to upgrade the level of Gale Slash? It costs 400 points of Exchange Value to upgrade!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan'. The Phantom Step proficiency has reached 100. Do you want to upgrade the level of Phantom Step? It costs 200 points of Exchange Value to upgrade!"

"Check the attributes!"

"I’ve reached its limit so soon? But, I have no Exchange Value!"

Hearing the system beeps once again, Lu Zixuan had the urge to curse out loud.

Cultivating in the gale could indeed help him increase his Gale Slash and Phantom Step rapidly, but there was no Exchange Value rewarded!

"Eh, there's a Demonic Beast!"

Just when he was lacking in Exchange Value, a Demonic Beast walked out of the fierce wind, causing Lu Zixuan's eyes to suddenly light up.

His figure flashed, leaving behind several afterimages as he charged towards the Demonic Beast.

Killing Demonic Beast could help him obtain Exchange Value!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan' for killing a Gale Beast. The reward is 100 points of Exchange Value and 50 points of Genuine Qi!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to host 'Lu Zixuan' for activating the Wind Rift Valley mission."

"Killing the Storm Lion. The mission duration is five days!"

"After the mission is completed, the host will receive 1,000 points of Exchange Value and 3,000 Genuine Qi Points!"

Note: Storm Lion is in the middle area of the Wind Rift Valley, and its strength is similar to that of a seventh-rank Martial Apprentice!

After the Demonic Beast was cut into two, Lu Zixuan's mind was refreshed.

Activate the mission?

The rewards were so generous?

He had to take it!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Lu Zixuan continued to search for Demonic Beasts and kill them, in order to improve his strength.

That Storm Lion's strength was similar to that of a seventh-rank Martial Apprentice, and if he went over now, he would absolutely be sending himself to death!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The system beeps continuously rang. As Lu Zixuan searched for Demonic Beasts, he slowly approached the depths of the Wind Rift Valley.

"Upgrade Gale Slash!"

After killing countless Demonic Beasts, he finally had enough Exchange Value. Lu Zixuan upgraded his Gale Slash first.
