C7 Body refinement sixth layer
Lu Fan held his breath, right now he only wished that this dire beast was blind and was unable to see him.
Suddenly, a monster walked out from the depths of the cave. The moment Lu Fan saw the monster, he was stunned.
It was not because he was shocked by the monster's fearsomeness, but because he was surprised by it. Lovely.
A seemingly handicapped puppy walked out. Its front legs were short and small, and its pair of big eyes flickered.
Lu Fan was stunned. No matter how he looked at it, this harmless looking animal didn't seem like a dire beast at all.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lu Fan started to concentrate on digesting the daphnopteris fructus's medicinal strength.
The little mutt slowly walked forward. The daphnopteris fructus's leaf wrapped itself around its body as if it had seen an old acquaintance.
A little light seeped into the dog's body, and the dog let out a comfortable sound. But soon, the light faded. The little mutt saw that the daphnopteris fructus's flower had already disappeared, and immediately became angry. It opened its mouth towards Lu Fan, revealing its ungrown fangs.
The little mutt quickly rushed forward. It unexpectedly charged forward like a human, opening its mouth and biting onto Lu Fan's wrist.
Lu Fan watched as the little mutt bit him, but didn't dare move.
Blood flowed everywhere, Lu Fan's heart was filled with endless anxiety.
Damn it, if he really died in the mouth of a powerful dire beast, then it would be fine. But if he died in the mouth of a small dog, he wouldn't even have the face to see a ghost after death.
Right at this moment, the power that had been rampaging within Lu Fan's body suddenly calmed down. Then, it flowed out from his wrist along with his blood.
The puppy glowed as if it was absorbing the power of his medicine.
Soon, the puppy seemed to be full and let go of its mouth. He bared his teeth at Lu Fan, then quickly ran into the depths of the cave.
Lu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was threatened by an inexplicable puppy, but the dog solved a big problem for him.
The excess energy in his body was sucked away by the puppy. The remaining medicinal strength was no longer enough to pose a threat to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan quietly sat there, waiting for his body to slowly absorb the medicinal strength.
Lu Fan's breathing gradually stabilized. He closed his eyes and entered into a meditative state on the martial path. The flickering light that originally belonged to the daphnopteris fructus also appeared on his body.
He sat there for one day and one night.
When Lu Fan once again opened his eyes, a bright light flashed in them.
With just a slight movement, the sound of his body exploding was heard.
Lu Fan stretched out his arm, then punched the wall with his fist.
Collapsing Mountain!
A dull thud echoed in the cave, and a crack appeared on the wall before them. Soon, numerous rocks shattered, and a deep hole appeared in the wall.
Lu Fan watched this scene with a smile on his face. From the looks of it, his Collapsing Mountain could be considered to have reached the small success stage.
Moreover, it seemed that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Even if it wasn't body refining sixth level, it wasn't far from it. To be able to advance three levels consecutively in a month was something that even the current Lu Ming, the most talented person in their family, could not match up to.
Suddenly, Lu Fan smelled a foul stench. Carefully sniffing around, he discovered that this stench was coming from his body.
Well, he hadn't had a bath in days.
Quickly walking out of the cave, Lu Fan grabbed a few handfuls of snow and wiped them all over his body.
Now that he had completed his cultivation, it was time to return.
He clenched his fists. Trash?
This year's annual tribute will give you all a huge surprise, I want to see who can chase me away!
After a long roar, Lu Fan started to sprint through the forest, his silhouette disappearing in the distance.
After he ran far away, a small dog crawled out of the cave, looked around, and then retracted its head.
...
A few days later. Jiang Lin City, Lu family.
The lanterns were decorated, the drums sounded the music in the sky, and every family had a new face.
To the citizens of Wu’an Kingdom, there was no festival that was more important than the end of the year. Everyone would celebrate this day, and the streets and alleys would be filled with a happy atmosphere.
A large family like the Lu family had held a banquet since two days ago, inviting guests. Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, as long as one came to the Lu Clan, one would be able to eat. This was also a tradition of the Lu Clan.
Today was the last day of the new year. This year, the most important event was the Yearly Sacrifice. The main purpose of the Yearly Sacrifice was to pray that next year's weather would be smooth sailing and good business would flourish.
At the Yearly Sacrifice, every disciple of the Lu family would be taking part in the test to see how much they had increased in the past year.
On this day, the Patriarch of the Lu family, who was also Lu Ming's grandfather, would also attend and personally give out prizes to the Children of the Lu Family s who had performed well.
It turned out that every time it got to this point, Lu Ming would be the one that was mocked by everyone, then forgotten in a corner, and would return to his room alone for the holidays.
But this year, it was clear that he wouldn't do so. Lu Fan continued to watch the performance as he drank some wine. He was in a good mood, and was relaxed and happy at the same time.
It seemed that the New Year was a very interesting thing.
"Trash Cousin, how are you going to make a fool of yourself this year?"
Just as they were happy to watch, Lu Ming's annoying voice came from behind again, along with the mocking laughter of Lu Tiangang and the others.
Lu Fan didn't even bother to turn his head around and continued watching her singing and dancing.
Lu Tiangang patted Lu Fan's shoulder and lowered his voice, saying, "Tonight, are you prepared to be viciously beaten up by me?"
Lu Fan raised his head, looked at Lu Tiangang, and calmly said, "I'll be ready at any time."
"Yo, not bad at all. "Alright, tonight, let me see how you are going to kneel and beg for forgiveness."
With that, Lu Tiangang left in big strides, the surrounding people pointed at him, showing their contempt towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan sat there silently.
Kneel down and beg for mercy? Originally, he didn't know how to do it, but now, he definitely couldn't do it either.
Gently putting down his wine cup, a light flickered in Lu Fan's eyes.
Night came quickly.
The brightly lit Lu Family was about to usher in a new year.
Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Haoran, was wearing a long robe as he sat at the main seat. Lu Ming's father, Lu Feng, Lu Fan's father, Lu Hao, and a few other uncles that Lu Ming didn't see frequently sat beside him.
The singing and dancing gradually stopped, and Lu Fan knew that this was the most important moment for him.
Lu Haoran raised his wine cup and stood up, saying: "Children of the Lu Family, Sacrifice to the heaven and earth!"
All the members of the Lu family stood up and raised their goblets.
Lu Haoran continued: "From the start of the new year, the martial path will always remain."
After he finished speaking, the wine cups in his hands spilled all over, and everyone followed Lu Haoran in pouring the wine in his cup onto the ground.
After doing all this, Lu Haoran sat back down and waved to bring out the inkstone s that were always placed at the back.
Then, one of Lu Fan's uncles walked out, loudly shouting: "Children of the Lu Family, begin the test!"
With this command, all the younger generation members of the Lu family stood up and acknowledged. Then, Lu Feng started to go up one by one. Some of the Children of the Lu Family s who were called out felt uneasy and some had relaxed expressions.
At the top, Lu Haoran watched quietly, every time he saw the younger generation of the Lu Family grow up, Lu Haoran would be extremely happy.
Lu Hao who was sitting at the side had been looking in Lu Fan's direction. Although Lu Fan's expression was calm, Lu Hao was still very nervous.
"Lu Hao, you seem to be a bit uneasy."
Lu Haoran suddenly shouted as he turned his head to look at Lu Hao.
Lu Hao said: "I am a bit uneasy."
Lu Haoran continued, "Is it because of Lu Fan? You gave him all the pills that you finally got? "
Lu Hao laughed bitterly: "As a father, we should at least help out a bit. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to help anymore in the future. "
Lu Feng, who was at the side, laughed, "Big brother, you are too soft-hearted. Lu Fan was either not diligent in his cultivation or was lazy by nature. Either that or he was not gifted enough to be a fool. "It's not something that can be made up for with just a single pill of yours."
Lu Hao frowned, and wanted to refute his words.
Lu Haoran waved his hand to stop the two from speaking, and said: "Grandsons have their own blessings, if he really can't do it, it's good to stay away from the Clan. "At least I can live an ordinary life outside."
Lu Hao lightly nodded and did not speak further. He didn't tell the others that his grandfather had actually given him the medicine. Although it was to reward him for robbing a large market for his family, Lu Hao knew that Lu Haoran was also helping Lu Fan. The honored tutor still doted on his grandson. Even though this grandson was rather disappointing.
Below, the Children of the Lu Family's test was almost done, but at this moment, a shout sounded out.
"Lu Tiangang, come forward and take your test."
Lu Tiangang who was seated beside Lu Ming clenched his fists and stepped forward, the muscles on his entire body bulging as he ruthlessly smashed his fist onto the inkstone.
"Body refining fifth level, medium."
Lu Tiangang's face was filled with disappointment. He had yet to reach body refining sixth level, this result was a bit dangerous, but it wasn't too big of a problem. When the time came, he could just beat two or three of them up himself.
Lu Tiangang slowly walked down and the voice from above sounded again.
"Lu Ming, come forward and take your test."
Immediately, everyone's attention gathered on Lu Ming. Lu Ming walked forward confidently, and smashed his fist towards the inkstone.
Even though he was still at the 8th Body Refinement Layer, everyone could clearly see that the broken lines on the inkstone were much larger than the last time they were in the plaza. It was obvious that Lu Ming had not wasted this month.
Up above, Lu Feng was all smiles as he raised his wine cup towards Lu Ming.
Lu Haoran also laughed: "Lu Ming's cultivation is progressing more and more. Lu Feng, wait until next year when Lu Ming returns from the Academy, I think he will be able to refine the Supreme Force. I will pass my clan's pyretic golden body to him. "
Lu Feng's smile became wider as he bowed, "Yes, Father."
Lu Haoran smiled and nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Ming should be the third generation successor to the Lu Family. The only thing that Lu Haoran was slightly worried about was that Lu Ming was a little impatient. He was overjoyed and did not know how to keep his arrogance in check. This kind of character was destined to suffer hardships. Hopefully, he would be able to change it in the future.
Lu Ming walked back quickly, the surrounding Children of the Lu Family were still cheering, to them, Lu Ming was their role model.
"Lu Fan, come forward and take your test."
Another shout rang out as Lu Fan slowly stood up.
This moment had finally arrived.
The gazes of the crowd all landed on Lu Fan, and a mocking smile appeared on all of their faces. Waiting for Lu Fan to make a fool of himself again. Some people sighed and shook their heads, unwilling to look. Today was probably the last day of Lu Fan's test. After today, this pitiful trash would be released from the family, and would no longer be able to take on the role of a minor character in the family.
Clenching his fists, Lu Fan stood in front of the inkstone.
Fiercely, Lu Fan threw out a punch, wanting to shatter the pain he'd been feeling all these years.
With a dull sound, the inkstone's light lit up.
The few large words caused everyone's heart to stop beating all of a sudden.
"Body refining sixth level, medium!"
