Side Quest

"Fine."

Jun Changxiao said, "If I die, the sect leader position is yours."

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist, and three brilliant halos gradually appeared on his wrist.

On the Starfall Continent, whenever a martial artist opened a pulse, a halo would condense on their wrist when they unleashed their spiritual energy.

"Haha."

"Only at the third stage of Pulse Opening? This Iron Bone Unyielding Sect leader is truly pathetic!"

"I don't know where he got the courage to face us, all of whom are at the fourth stage of Pulse Opening!"

The disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect began to mock him.

In their eyes, a sect leader, even of a ninth-rate sect, should at least be at the Martial Apprentice realm.

A third-stage Pulse Opening practitioner acting as a sect leader?

It was simply a huge joke.

Jun Changxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Third stage of Pulse Opening is enough to deal with you lot."

"Is that so?"

The three disciples simultaneously erupted with spiritual energy, and four halos appeared on their wrists.

Tsk tsk.

So they were all at the fourth stage of Pulse Opening.

No wonder they came here so arrogantly to cause trouble for this seat.

"Kid."

Senior Brother Li grinned and said, "If you kneel and beg for mercy, my Spirit Spring Sect might give you, the sect leader, some face and pretend nothing ever happened."

"Ding!"

"Side Quest triggered!"

Hearing the system's notification sound, Jun Changxiao was stunned.

He opened the sect panel that only he could see and saw that beneath the Main Quest, a Side Quest had appeared out of thin air, with the content: Resolve the provocation from the Spirit Spring Sect disciples 0/4.

Damn.

There are Side Quests too?

The system said, "Side Quests require specific conditions to be triggered. If the host completes them, you can obtain a certain amount of Sect Contribution Points."

Jun Changxiao's eyes immediately lit up.

To develop the sect, he had to become strong.

The reliance for becoming strong was the items in the Sect Mall, and those required contribution points to exchange!

Since there was a quest and it rewarded contribution points, he definitely had to do it!

Jun Changxiao said coldly, "Kneel? You must have lost your mind."

"Swish!"

As soon as the words fell, his right hand turned into a fist and he lunged forward fiercely.

This move was both fast and ruthless!

Lu Qianqian thought with interest, My sect leader doesn't look weak at all.

"You're courting death!"

Senior Brother Li shouted coldly and raised his fist to meet him.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, and a faint ripple spread through the air.

This was caused by the clash of spiritual energy.

In the memories Jun Changxiao had acquired, high-level martial artists using spiritual energy to clash could shatter space!

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Senior Brother Li retreated several steps, and once he steadied himself, his right fist immediately began to swell.

"Damn it!"

He said, both angry and confused, "How can someone at the third stage of Pulse Opening have such strong power!"

"Swish!"

Jun Changxiao stepped forward: "Because I am the sect leader."

"Boom!"

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Senior Brother Li retreated explosively once more, landing hard on his backside. Pain radiated from his chest where he had been struck, and his expression turned ferocious.

"Ding!"

"Resolved 1/4 provocative Spirit Spring Sect disciples!"

Watching the Side Quest data update, Jun Changxiao said in astonishment, "That finished one already?"

"Damn it!"

Although Senior Brother Li had been blasted into a state of combat incapacity by a single punch, he forced himself through the pain and roared, "Attack! Attack! Attack!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

The three Spirit Spring Sect disciples moved in unison.

Jun Changxiao said indifferently, "Outnumbering me? Shameless!"

"Hmph."

"A piece of trash serving as a sect leader is the greatest disgrace of all!"

The three Spirit Spring Sect disciples were determined to use their numbers and had no intention of stopping.

"Fine, fine!"

Jun Changxiao said coldly, "Since you are all so thick-skinned and shameless, don't blame This Seat for being heartless today."

As he spoke, a wave of energy surged around his body, and the light rings on his wrist instantly increased to five!

"Pulse Opening Fifth Stage!"

"Ho... how is this possible!"

The three Spirit Spring Sect disciples widened their eyes.

Seeing the five light rings manifesting on Jun Changxiao's wrist, surprise flickered in the beautiful eyes of Lu Qianqian.

Since joining the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, she had always believed the sect leader's cultivation was at most the second stage, and that his burst to the third stage was already a surprise; now, seeing him reach the fifth stage was simply inconceivable.

The original Jun Changxiao had only been at the Pulse Opening Second Stage.

But the Jun Changxiao who had transmigrated here, relying on the Talisman of Experience, had easily broken through to the Pulse Opening Fifth Stage.

This level of cultivation was nothing on the Starfall Continent, but it was more than enough to handle those at the Pulse Opening Fourth Stage.

"Swish!"

Jun Changxiao stepped forward.

He swung his right fist, infused with spiritual energy, directly sending one of the dazed Spirit Spring Sect disciples flying.

"Ding!"

"Resolved 2/4 provocative Spirit Spring Sect disciples!"

"A bunch of trash, daring to act arrogant in front of This Seat, you don't know when you're going to die!"

Jun Changxiao swung his fist again, sending another Spirit Spring Sect disciple flying.

"Ding!"

"Resolved 3/4 provocative Spirit Spring Sect disciples!"

Relying on the Experience Talisman to open five pulses, Jun Changxiao found bullying this group of Pulse Opening Fourth Stage Spirit Spring Sect disciples truly effortless.

Watching their companions being knocked away one after another, the last Spirit Spring Sect disciple retreated in a panic.

"You aren't getting away."

Jun Changxiao strode over and threw a punch.

"Bang--"

The final Spirit Spring Sect disciple was sent flying, collapsing limply to the ground.

"Ding!"

"Resolved 4/4 provocative Spirit Spring Sect disciples!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Side Quest, obtaining 4 Sect Contribution Points."

"Ding!"

"Sect Contribution Points: 4/100."

Jun Changxiao opened the Sect Attribute Panel and saw the sect contribution change from 0 to 4, a bright smile immediately curling the corners of his lips.

The reward was small, but it was better than nothing.

"Clap."

Jun Changxiao clapped his hands and said, "Get lost already."

"The green hills remain, the clear waters flow; we shall meet again!"

Senior Brother Li struggled to his feet, threw out a parting remark, and fled in a sorry state with his three disciples.

"Four Senior Brothers, wait for me!"

The Green-scarf Martial Artist chased after them in a panic.

This guy probably never expected that the senior brothers he brought along would be so easily dealt with by that fellow.

The conflict ended after Jun Changxiao unleashed his true strength, and as he completed the Side Quest and gained 4 Contribution Points, it could be considered an unexpected windfall.

Lu Qianqian said, "You should have killed them to prevent future trouble."

Jun Changxiao replied speechlessly, "Is there a need to be that cruel?"

As someone from Earth who had received a higher education, he really didn't have the impulse to kill someone over a minor grievance.

Lu Qianqian said indifferently, "On the Starfall Continent, where the strong prey on the weak, being kind to the enemy is the greatest cruelty. If you don't even understand this, you aren't qualified to be the sect leader."

Jun Changxiao fell silent.

That's right.

He was no longer a person from Earth; he was a person of the Starfall Continent.

Here, martial arts reigned supreme, the strong preyed on the weak, and being kind to the enemy was being cruel to oneself.

"Ding!"

While he was thinking, a sound rang in his ears: "Side Quest triggered!"

Another quest triggered?

Jun Changxiao hurriedly pulled up the sect panel.

He saw the Side Quest displayed on the panel: Educate Lu Qianqian with grand principles and maintain the dignity of the sect leader!

"What kind of quest is this?"

Jun Changxiao was a bit dumbfounded.

But he soon understood something and thought to himself, "Lu Qianqian is a disciple; if I let her lecture me, where would the dignity of the sect leader be?"
