The Strongest System - chapter-145

Lin Fan prayed fervently. All he needed was a few more pericelestial
beasts, and he’d be done.

Once his 100,000,000 experience points were filled, he’d be able to
enter the middle level of the postcelestial stage, receiving a boost in
fighting strength immediately. In fact, he could even try reaching the
pericelestial level.

“Junior Master, here it comes!”

Just then, a gigantic carcass flew over at Lin Fan. Even just staring at
the size of it shocked him.

“Catch my finger!”

Lin Fan shouted and pierced the beast’s skull.

‘Ding…congratulations on killing postcelestial upper-level beast:
Snow Tiger.’

‘Ding…experience points +100,000.’

‘Ding…‘Deflowering Finger’ has leveled up.’

…

‘Wait a moment. Something’s not right! How could such a high-level
beast only give so little experience points! That’s bullshit! Complete
bullshit!’

But, Lin Fan gradually understood. Even though his cultivation base was
at postcelestial initial level, his fighting strength was comparable to
that of a pericelestial. Therefore, in his hands, this postcelestial
upper-level beast wouldn’t be of any threat.

Hence, it only gave off so little experience points in the system.

Upon realizing this, Lin Fan no longer wanted to kill all these small
little critters. He shouted over, “Junior Disciples! Look for
pericelestial beasts! These postcelestials are of not much use!”

Zong Hentian, who was leading the search, shuddered helplessly. How could
there be so many pericelestial beasts available?

To begin with, Floating Snow Peaks was not even a forbidden ground.
Therefore, it didn’t even contain too many beasts usually. The presence
of these beasts now was because they were attracted here by the
appearance of the Snow Lion. If not for that, there probably wouldn’t
even be a single pericelestial beast present.

“Alright, Junior Master. We’ll try looking!” Zong Hentian replied.

Lin Fan felt better instantly. All he needed was 30,000,000 more
experience points to level up.

At the same time, Lin Fan understood a point. To level up, he needed a
group of highly skilled teammates to give him assistance.

If he were to just depend on himself, it’d take way too long.

“ROAR!”

Just then, a furious roar rang over. Lin Fan leaped with joy. Such a
vibrant roar! This must definitely be a high leveled beast!

“Senior Brothers, please render your assistance! There’s a
pericelestial upper-level beast over here! I can’t deal with it alone!”
A call of distress came over from a distance.

Lin Fan was overcome with joy. Pericelestial upper-level beast?! He’d
be rich with experience points if he could land the killing blow!

Suddenly, a bunch of trees ahead of them collapsed onto the ground in a
swoop, and a strong aura could be sensed.

Lin Fan rushed ahead, observing the situation from a distance.

The beast looked like a western dragon. It was around 10 feet tall, with
the stature of a small mountain itself.

Zong Hentian and the other disciples had rounded it up and were bashing
on it viciously from all sides.

“Buck up, Junior Disciples! Give him a good wallop! I’ll come in soon!”
Lin Fan’s eyes widened as he waved exuberantly. He MUST kill this thing!

‘Whether or not Yours Truly can level up depends on this!’

The beast was filled with blood from head to toe, as it let out another
roar of wrath. It was determined to fight Zong Hentian and the rest of
them to death.

Amongst the 15 of them, Zong Hentian had the highest cultivation base,
and he firmly suppressed the beast.

When he heard the beast’s roar of wrath, he too shouted back at it with
rage. Raising his palms, he leaped into the air. His palm was filled with
True Energy, and a golden glow enveloped them. Crashing down from the
skies with an unstoppable force, he struck the beast.

Just then, the air was filled with the sounds of bones cracking, as the
beast fell, kneeling on the floor immediately. Its breath gradually grew
weaker, as it laid there breathing heavily, with a deep imprint of a palm
on its body.

“Junior Master, here you go!” Zong Hentian shouted over.

“Here I am!” Lin Fan leaped excitedly towards the beast, jabbing his
finger into its skull.

A destructive force filled the beast’s skull, rampaging within it.

“BOOM!”

The beast collapsed heavily on the ground with bloodshot eyes wide open.
His grievance was that he had traveled thousands of miles from the
forbidden ground over here, but it died before catching sight of the Snow
Lion.

Such injustice…

‘Killed it…’

Lin Fan was ecstatic. He had f*cking finally killed it.

‘Ding…Congratulations on defeating pericelestial upper-level beast:
Blood Horned Violet Flying Dragon.’

‘Ding…experience points +30,000,000’

‘Ding…congratulations on breaking through the bottleneck.’

‘Ding…cultivation base is now postcelestial middle level
(0/200,000,000)’

‘Ding…congratulations on unlocking fusion function.’

‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Blood Dragon’s Horn.’

‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining 1 drop of Blood Horned Violet
Flying Dragon’s Essence Blood.’

‘Blood Horned Violet Flying Dragon’s Essence Blood: Upon consumption,
one turns into a semi dragon.’

…

Lin Fan felt a powerful force surge through his body. It was stronger
than anything he had ever felt before.

But what Lin Fan could not understand was why the experience points
required did not go down. In the past, it was a bottleneck. As long as he
tided over it, the experience points required would decrease in fact!

Not only did it not decrease, but it also jumped up by twice! Lin Fan was
utterly speechless.

But, that fusion function unlocked got him pretty curious. He wondered
how it worked.

But, this was not the time for it. After all, his junior disciples were
waiting for him.

“How was it, Junior Master?” Zong Hentian asked.

They had not expected to bump into a pericelestial upper-level beast.
Seemed like with the presence of the Snow Lion, many beasts had come
along for the ride.

“Wonderful. The ingredients were great. It’s all thanks to you Junior
Disciples. Once we get back, I’ll be sure to reward you boys with
something good.” Lin Fan laughed.

Zong Hentian and the other disciples laughed along as well. As to Lin
Fan’s breakthrough in cultivation base, none of them felt anything at
all, because the system hid his aura entirely. Unless he himself were to
show it, no one would be able to detect it on their own.

They carried on slaying beasts, but they were all low leveled beasts from
there on. Lin Fan did not pay much attention to them, and they just
continued clearing the area.

“Junior Master, it’s getting late. We should head back. I suppose Elder
Yu has already communicated with the other sects. I wonder how we’re
going to deal with the Snow Lion tomorrow.” Zong Hentian let out a hint
of worry in his voice.

After all, the Snow Lion was a lesser celestial beast. These
pericelestial beasts weren’t even comparable to it. Even if its cubs
were of lower cultivation base, they wouldn’t be easy targets either.

“We must not rush head-on. Even if the time comes to it, we’ll let the
other sects take the frontlines. Remember not to show off.” Lin Fan
warned.

“How can we do that, Junior Master Lin! The expedition this time round,
other than to deal with the Snow Lion, it’s to show off our sect’s
prowess. How can we let the other sects take the attention?” Zong Hentian
replied.

Lin Fan looked at Zong Hentian and rolled his eyes. You god*mn bloody
greenhorn. It’s a miracle you could live to this day with that attitude.

“Just listen to my instructions tomorrow.” Lin Fan said.

Even though Zong Hentian did not agree entirely, he nodded his head.

Translator Notes:

Alright guys, so apparently there’s been a miscommunication earlier
with the glossary as made evident through this chapter.

So, apparently, now that they’re in Dongling Continent, the leveling
system seems to have changed. In every cultivation base, there seems to
be lower level, middle level, upper level and full cultivation.

But do forgive my mistake on not making this point as clear as possible
earlier on as the novel did not indicate it clearly as well.

And also, the portion about the western dragon, I hope you guys
understand the difference between the Chinese dragon and the Western
dragon.

Chinese Dragon is like a giant snake with claws and scales. Western
Dragon is like a gigantic lizard with wings.

Cheers!
