Chapter 289: How could you treat me in this manner?

Many days later.

Laughter rang out in Invincible peak's secret chamber.

I've finally succeeded!

After working his finger to the bone and dying numerous times, Lin Fan finally made a skillset that suited him.

Devil's real skillset.

Class: Earth-high class (Experience points +10)

Traits: Body of the devil, limitless energy, the heart of justice.

Boom!

After making up his mind to use this skill set, energy gushed up from his body. Powerful energy could be felt, and it was absorbed furiously.

I didn't expect this skill set to be so powerful. It increased my foundation by so much!

But what Lin Fan never expected was that his capacity increased drastically after its use.

Some people are going to be at a loss now. My body's capacity was already enormous, and it's increased even more. How strong is my foundation?

Lin Fan could feel that he was getting stronger, but Lin Fan couldn't understand the skillsets' traits by reading them.

~Body of a devil. Am I really going to turn into a devil?~

~But how could I, when I have a heart justice?~

Lin Fan could feel the powerful energy surging up in his body as he cultivated. He felt like he had an infinite amount of energy, making him stronger and fiercer.

He stepped out of the chamber and stood at the Invincible peak's main palace entrance with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

~Why do I feel so lonely? When I created this skill set, I suddenly felt invincible. Moreover, I'm now a Heaven Star Border Stage Four, making me feel even more powerful.~

Haish, I'm now arrogant again. Can't somebody teach me a lesson to make me more humble? I can't be like this anymore. I can feel myself starting to put my nose in the air.

This isn't good!

~Let me take a walk.~

On the Invincible peak, many disciples were cultivating. The Body tempering pool was full of disciples.

Many disciples had changed their main cultivation method.

In the past, the disciples took a rough approach to cultivation. They would either sit there silently to refine blood energy or head to the arena to smash their bodies with boulders.

But now it was nothing like that. They could go to the Body Tempering realm to cultivate. All they had to do was endure the pain the pool caused.

Disciples could also be seen climbing up the steps. The stronger one's cultivation was, the stronger the pressure was. However, the steps only worked for cultivators under the Earth Star Border Stage Seven.

Unlike in the Thousand deep chambers, the steps no longer worked for Heaven Star Border realm cultivators after being moved to the Invincible peak. Its effects had faded since it was moved. But it was good that it still worked for lower-ranked cultivators.

~Luckily, I'm smart. I know how to take everything I see despite being ignorant. That's the only way to make sure that I don't lose anything.~

~This is a habit that I must maintain.~

~There are many treasures in this world; I can't recognize all of them.~

Senior brother.

Congratulation, Senior brother Lin.

Every disciple that passed by greeted Lin Fan with respect.

Lin Fan was their idol, as he was the person who built the Invincible peak, an excellent place for cultivation.

Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction as he saw the courage and determination in the disciples.

Three years, five years, and ten years.

Lin Fan strongly believed that he would see huge changes in the Magnificent Flame Sect in the future.

Just then, he saw Lu Qiming, Huang Fugui, and the rest gathering around. It seems like Huang Fugui was preparing to leave.

Junior brothers, what are you guys doing?

Seeing Lin Fan, Lu Qiming immediately wore a smile on his face. Senior brother.

Gao Dazhuang, Yin Xiaotian, Zhang Long, and Huang Fugui were also happy to see Lin Fan. They had followed Lin Fan since the start, and they didn't expect to turn from ordinary disciples to the Invincible peak's in-charge in a blink of an eye.

Senior brother, Fugui's younger sister's wedding is around the corner. He's going to attend the wedding, and we are here to send him off. Lu Qiming said. They wanted to go along too, but they couldn't do so as Lin Fan would be the only person left to take care of the peak.

Lin Fan was their pillar, after all. The peak's survival was dependent on Lin Fan.

Junior brother Huang, how could you be like this? You promised to bring all of us along, but you're going home alone. Did you forget about us? Lin Fan asked.

~Back when I was still an outer disciple, I cheated his money.~

~However, when I witnessed him handing all his earnings to his family. It changed my perception of him, and I felt terrible for cheating someone who loved his family so much.~

Senior brother, you're the Invincible Peak peak's leader now. They have to take care of the peak too. If all of us went back with me, who would take care of the peak? Moreover, my sister's wedding is an unimportant matter; the peak is more important.

Huang Fugui explained. He planned to make a short trip back and return as soon as possible.

Junior brother Huang, it's no fun like this. Lin Fan said. The Invincible peak disciple won't die without us, and I've just ended my seclusion. It will be fun to go out of the sect on a trip.

Junior brother Lu, Junior brother Yin, Junior brother Gao and Junior brother Zhang, let's go back with him just like we planned to in the past.

Huang Fugui didn't expect Senior brother Lin to mean his words and he was extremely touched. No matter how powerful Lin Fan was now, he was still the Senior brother Lin they knew in the past.

Even though he still remembered how Lin Fan played a prank causing him to store a lot of scrap iron. Thanks to that incident, scrap irons in the Magnificent Flame Sect were now valuable, and it wasn't a free resource like how it was in the past.

Then who will take charge of the peak while we are away? Lu Qiming asked, pondering who he should hand the peak to temporarily.

Wang Fu, come here. Lin Fan said after looking around. He could see a disciple sitting at the side cross-legged.

Wang Fu had caught Lin Fan's eyes, and he remembered him as a disciple with many talents.

From his cultivation speed, Lin Fan could tell that Wang Fu was a good talent.

However, Lin Fan wouldn't make a fuss about it. The number of talented people in the world was as numerous as stars in the sky. Only those that could survive were actual talents.

Wang Fu was cultivating when he heard Lin Fan call his name. He was filled with excitement, as he never expected Lin Fan to remember his name.

Greetings, Senior brother. Wang Fu said, standing up straight.

Lin Fan smiled at him. Senior brother has a task for you. I have to leave the peak with your senior brothers for a trip, so the peak will be left unattended. I see that you're smart, so do you think you can help us handle the peak for the time being?

Hearing this, Wang Fu's eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn't believe his ears.

~ I'm being tasked to watch the peak for a short period. Is senior brother testing my ability?~

Wang Fu cultivated faster than other disciples, but he never showed off his talent. He didn't want others to be jealous and cause trouble to him.

But now, Lin Fan didn't even ask about his cultivation. Instead, he chose him out of so many disciples to watch the Invincible peak for the time being. This showed that Lin Fan not only noticed his improvement but also had high hopes and trusted him.

Yes, senior brother, I can. Wang Fu nodded seriously. I am confident in attending the peak well while the Senior brothers are away. If anything bad happens, I, Wang Fu, will pay for it with my head.

Wang Fu said excitedly, face turning red in excitement.

He really didn't know how to show his gratitude to Lin Fan.

Wang Fu had joined the Invincible peak because he wanted to find someone who had the same ideology as him. He always felt that Lin Fan, who was currently standing in front of him, was that person.

Lin Fan laughed and patted Wang Fu's shoulder. Junior brother, you don't need to be so serious. You're talented, and you cultivate quite fast. But remember to not be arrogant. Know that ambitions depend on your ability. How powerful you determines how much you can do. Cultivate well; your Senior brother trusts that you will do well.

Yes. Thank you, Senior brother for your teachings. Wang Fu will remember your words by heart.

Wang Fu said, adrenaline rushing through his body. He had gotten Senior Brother Lin's acknowledgment, and he even encouraged him! This was the Senior brother Lin in his heart.

Not only that, but Lin Fan's words also meant that he wouldn't let Wang Fu's talent go to waste.

Lu Qiming's eyes shone brightly on hearing Lin Fan's words. It was as if he had listened to a quote of wisdom.

Enrich yourself when your ambitions go beyond your ability.

~This is such a good phrase. Senior brother is indeed my senior brother. Even the things he says contains so much wisdom that I can't help but record it down.~

Let's get going.

Lin Fan laughed. He did not expect to be looked up so highly to his disciples. This makes him feel great.

He might faint if he knew about Lu Qiming's notebook.

As soon as Wang Fu left, the frog came towards Lin Fan with all smiles.

Master, I have finished making the pills. Please check them. These are good quality pills I made with my blood, sweat, and tears. There is nobody else in the world that can make this happen except me.

The frog said. It knew that it had to show off its value in front of this murderer to ensure its life.

~Or else he won't value me.~

Lin Fan took the pills and nodded in satisfaction. The frog was indeed powerful. He made ten Earth-middle class pills in no time. It was a great amount of wealth.

Mhmm. Great.

Frog smiled happily. Master, can I rest for some time? I'll continue after taking a break.

Of course. Lin Fan answered.

The frog was more than happy to hear this. ~Now that I'm valuable, I have a higher status too.~

~The best pharmacologist should have a status similar to its value.~

Brother!

Qin Shan shouted, coming towards Lin Fan from far. Seeing the frog, Qin Shan looked delighted. He picked him up excitedly.

Greeny!

I'm called frog! Not greeny! Frog shouted.

Brother, bring the frog with you. You guys can play together.

Master, I've worked hard. I need to rest. The frog said.

But Lin Fan didn't pay him any attention. Rest while playing with my brother.

The Frog nearly fainted on hearing Lin Fan's words.

~This murderer isn't human.~

~I did something beneficial and proved my worth.~

~How could you treat me in this manner?~

~I don't want to play with an idiot~
