From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Chapter 61 Ember Wolf

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate Ember Wolf with malevolent intent for 80 vengeance points.]

Lin Fan prepared himself when he saw the vengeance points.

With his pair of hammers in his hands, he waited.

The Ember Wolf pounced onto Lin Fan, thinking that Lin Fan wasn't aware of its presence.

Dang!

Lin Fan swung his right hand up, and the hammer hit the Ember Wolf's head.

The impact sent it tumbling across the ground, stirring the fallen leaves.

Thud.

Its back hit the trunk of a tree.

The Ember Wolf got up and shook its head.

"Grr…" It growled and showed its deadly fangs to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan began to feel the air surrounding him heating up.

Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.

He felt pain on his exposed skin as the heat intensified.

Keeping calm, he quickly directed his Qi and got ready to use his Yin Prod.

Boom!

The Ember Wolf enveloped itself in flames and lunged at Lin Fan.

Leaves and twigs on the ground started burning from the flames.

Lin Fan saw the Ember Wolf coming at him like a bullet on fire.

From a bright orange dot, it grew bigger and bigger as the Ember Wolf got closer.

Bam!

Lin Fan used the Yin Prod and hit it head-on.

He had to take a few steps back to absorb the impact.

The Ember Wolf wasn't any better; it had a depression on its forehead, making it disoriented.

Frost on its forehead from Lin Fan's Yin Prod reacted with the Ember Wolf's flame, turning into steam immediately.

With the Ember Wolf being disoriented, it shot small fireballs from its body in all directions.

The surroundings started to catch fire; smoke slowly filled the air.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and held it.

He quickly injected Qi into his hammers, making them twice as big.

With that, he used the Yin energy and his Yin Prod, created frost in the air, and tried to put out the fire.

But it was not enough.

He had to stop it from the source.

Ignoring the fireballs coming at him, Lin Fan lunged at the Ember Wolf with his Magnificent Leap, and with the hammers in his hands, rained down blow after blow.

Thud!

Thud!

Crack!

Sounds of the Ember Wolf's skull cracking echoed in the air.

The Ember Wolf's head was absolutely crushed by Lin Fan's relentless smashing.

It fell to the ground, twitched uncontrollably for a few times, then lay motionless.

A familiar sound subsequently erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 80]

[Current Vengeance Points: 230]

[Host's level is currently too low to gain Demonic Beast's abilities.]

[Minimum Level Required: 5]

Lin Fan smiled as he saw the system's information panel.

To think that now he could take on enemies worth 80 vengeance points alone.

It wasn't so long ago that he had to deal with enemies with fewer vengeance points with others.

His cultivation journey was definitely on the right track.

He quickly moved to put out the flames.

Using his Yin Prod, he was done after a few minutes.

Looking at the Ember Wolf's body, he didn't know how to get the demonic beast core, so he decided to ask Ho Jie.

First, he let the blood drain from the Ember Wolf.

It would be dangerous if he left a trail of blood in the woods to the wooden hut.

Hell knows what other demonic beasts might follow him.

As he slit the throat of the Ember Wolf, he could feel the woods getting more lively.

Leaves rustled, twigs fell from above.

Distant roars and howls grew closer.

His heart pounded as he waited for the blood to empty from the slit wound.

When the blood slowly stopped to a trickle, Lin Fan carried the body and hurriedly left.

He followed his own markings and finally got back to the wooden hut safely.

"Well, well. What have you got there?" Ho Jie was surprised when he saw Lin Fan carrying an Ember Wolf on his back.

The Ember Wolf's bright orange fur was unmistakable.

"I went hunting and managed to kill this demonic beast. Do you know how to get the demonic beast core?" Lin Fan replied, panting from exhaustion.

There was no need for Lin Fan to hide his capability from Ho Jie.

Especially after their battle with Master Tan.

Both of them knew they were more powerful than they seemed.

"Demonic beast core? Let me show you."

Ho Jie took out a cleaver and slit the Ember Wolf's chest open.

His hand went in and probed.

"The demonic beast core is usually right next to the heart," Ho Jie said as his hand dug around inside the Ember Wolf's chest.

Soon after, his eyes widened and with a tug, he pulled out the heart.

Next to the heart was an orange stone, translucent like a precious stone.

"You could sell this, but my advice is to keep it. You will need the demonic beast core when you try to break through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation."

Ho Jie chuckled and marveled at the demonic beast core.

"Thanks, Uncle Ho Jie. What about the fur? Can I sell it?" Lin Fan asked.

He was not going to waste a chance at reusing.

"Definitely, it's highly sought after by rich folks in Hong Feng city. Let me settle it for you, if you trust me."

"Thanks! You can take a thirty percent cut."

"Forget about the cut. And let me guess. Yes, the meat shall be our dinner," Ho Jie chuckled and replied even before Lin Fan asked the question.

Night fell.

Lin Fan looked at the empty plate in front of him.

The Ember Wolf's meat wasn't tasty, tough and with a texture that made your tongue sore.

But he could immediately feel the Qi flowing into his dantian was more than usual.

With the vengeance points and demonic beast core from today's haul, Lin Fan was already planning more ventures into the woods.
