From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Chapter 147 My Master!

"So, you are Lin Fan? I've heard a lot about you," Zhang Yi Nian said as he scanned Lin Fan up and down.

Sun Hai, standing beside him, nudged Zhang Yi Nian slightly.

He had briefed him on Lin Fan's miraculous progress and wanted to remind him not to let it get to Lin Fan's head.

Zhang Yi Nian turned and stared at Sun Hai.

After tolerating so many years of being looked down upon by the other Peak Lords, now that he was at Soul Transformation Level, it was time to show what the Physique Peak was made of.

"Yes, Peak Lord," Lin Fan bowed and replied.

"Good," Zhang Yi Nian nodded and patted him on his shoulder.

He felt the Qi that was in Lin Fan.

To Zhang Yi Nian's astonishment, Lin Fan's skin hardened as his palm struck it.

As he exerted more Qi, Lin Fan's skin reacted automatically to it.

This was only achievable by someone who had been practicing physique cultivation for at least a few years.

But the young man in front of him had done it in a few months' time.

Lin Fan was indeed the future of the Physique Peak, as Sun Hai had told him.

What Zhang Yi Nian said next surprised Lin Fan.

"From today onwards, you shall be my core disciple."

Zhang Yi Nian said loudly, turning to look at the other peak lords and disciples.

He raised his fist and continued, "Let me know if anyone dares to cause you harm. I shall punish them personally."

Zhang Yi Nian expected the other Peak Lords to show disdain as usual, but there was only silence.

The disciples and Peak Lords who went to the Late Spring Hunt were aware of what Lin Fan had done.

They would be out of their minds to try to find trouble with Lin Fan.

As for the disciples who were in the sect, they had witnessed how powerful Zhang Yi Nian was.

Being so hard to kill now that he was at Soul Transformation Level.

The tide had begun to turn in Physique Peak's favor.

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a huge sense of relief.

After so long, he had finally made it.

Is this what it's like to have someone backing you up? he thought.

Now, he was someone with a master you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Yi Nian, how have you been? I'm glad you came out of secluded cultivation in time."

Qing Yang Zi broke the silence as he stroked his long beard.

"Sect master, it is an honor to be able to protect the sect in times of need," Zhang Yi Nian bowed and said.

"We have a lot of catching up to do. But first, everyone go back to your normal routine."

Qing Yang Zi said and led the Peak Lords to the Million Sword Hall for a meeting.

After they left, Ho Ming went up to Lin Fan and congratulated him.

"Lin Fan, now that you are a core disciple, you'll have better cultivation resources."

Ho Ming was genuinely happy for him.

With both of them coming from a small village like An Xiang Village, they had done relatively well.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded; it was a huge step forward for his goal to become sect master.

"Come to the wooden hut. Let's celebrate with hotpot," Lin Fan said and invited Ho Ming.

After what they'd been through, it was time for some celebration.

Disciples standing beside them tried to come up and introduce themselves.

Each one of them tried to get into Lin Fan's good books.

But Lin Fan didn't need such fair-weather allies.

He rejected them as he and Ho Ming walked back toward the wooden hut.

Lin Fan immediately felt comfortable when he saw the wooden hut.

It was just as he remembered it to be.

A place of solace for him amidst all the turmoil outside.

"You are back," Ho Jie said, putting down the firewood for the day when he saw Lin Fan and Ho Ming.

He secretly sighed with huge relief when he saw Ho Ming unharmed.

They chatted about what had happened as Lin Fan prepared for the hotpot.

Ho Jie had to hold tightly to the corner of the table when he heard about the Dark Envoy and Dark Lord appearing.

He finally let go of the table when he heard Lin Fan had successfully delayed for time.

When the hotpot was ready, they tucked into the sumptuous meal.

Something they hadn't done for a very long time.

"Here, have more." Ho Jie, with the piece of meat in his chopsticks, placed it into Ho Ming's plate.

Lin Fan saw his gesture and thought to himself.

As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water after all.

And even though Lin Fan was without family here, he was glad he had friends and allies like Ho Ming and Ho Jie.

Munching on the meat in his mouth, Lin Fan began to think about the work ahead of him.

...

Million Sword Hall.

Qing Yang Zi sat in his chair with Zhao Qing Ying by his side.

When the other peak lords were seated, he started to brief them on the future plan.

"I've discussed this with the other sects.

"The thing we need to do now is to recuperate and recruit new disciples.

"Everyone has sustained many casualties.

"After that, we shall have to try to kill the Tan Family Head together."

Qing Yang Zi disclosed the plans they had discussed.

"Hmph." Zhao Qing Ying wasn't impressed with it; he raised his fist and said, "Just let me go and kill him now."

Qing Yang Zi shook his head and said, "How would you deal with his army that's fifty thousand strong?

"And Tan Xiao Yao is at the same cultivation level as you, Void Fusion Level."

Zhao Qing Ying put his fist down and fumed.

His dao was being hindered here.

He might have to go into secluded cultivation soon.

Seeing that Zhao Qing Ying had calmed down, Qing Yang Zi turned to the Peak Lords.

"The Alchemy Peak Lord position is now vacant; I shall nominate the next Peak Lord soon.

"The rest of you, prepare to expect lots of missions to come.

"Peaceful times are over; the Tan Family and Dark Lotus sect shall be creating trouble soon."
