Skill Shocks All Present! Impossible!

"Merit Points function?"

After Lin Fan asked in his heart, he immediately became excited.

This new function was actually to optimize Taoist magic?

For example, the Five Thunders Spell was already at the Grand Perfection realm, and Skill Points could no longer improve its realm.

But as long as he consumed Merit Points, the Five Thunders Spell would be optimized to a higher level!

A cheat!

This was a cheat on top of a cheat!

Lin Fan quickly asked in his heart, "System, how many Merit Points does it take to optimize the Five Thunders Spell?"

[System Prompt: Optimizing the Five Thunders Spell requires fifty Merit Points!]

"That's enough!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up. Wasn't this perfect timing?

The five Black Zombies he had just killed had earned him exactly fifty Merit Points.

Before Lin Fan could think further, a stammering voice pulled him back from his thoughts to reality.

"This... this..."

Wen Cai's mouth twitched. He had only just recovered from the thunderous roar.

Staring at the five blackened, lifeless zombies before him, he was so scared his face turned pale.

"Thanks to Master..."

Qiu Sheng quickly turned his head. He didn't even have time to say "Master."

He saw a familiar face with sharp features and bright eyes appear before him.

Senior Disciple Brother Lin Fan?!

Qiu Sheng was so shocked his jaw dropped, as if the whole world was spinning.

His mouth was agape as if he could swallow the entire universe.

He and Wen Cai had to exert all their strength to deal with just one Black Zombie.

Lin Fan was stronger, and he could handle one Black Zombie, but two would likely be beyond his capabilities.

Now, there were five whole Black Zombies lying before him.

And they were five Black Zombies that had been instantly defeated.

It was like a baby who could only walk unsteadily and couldn't control itself.

Now, after only a few months, the baby could not only walk steadily but had also learned to run.

Also, what was that Five Thunders Spell just now?

Such swift and powerful lightning was something he had only witnessed from Master before.

"Senior Brother, what happened to Master?"

Wen Cai slowly raised his head, glanced at Qiu Sheng, and asked in a low, fearful voice.

Qiu Sheng was just stunned, his face filled with terror, and he didn't respond.

"It's over!"

Seeing this, Wen Cai secretly thought that things were not good.

Senior Brother was usually bold, yet he was so scared.

Master must be furious now. No wonder the Five Thunders Spell just now was so terrifyingly fierce.

He was definitely going to be punished this time!

"Master, it's all Qiu Sheng's fault. He..."

Wen Cai shrunk his neck and turned his head with a bitter expression.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze!

The person before him wasn't Uncle Jiu at all?

Standing in front of him was clearly Senior Disciple Brother Lin Fan!

"This..."

Wen Cai was instantly dumbfounded.

Standing outside the door was none other than Senior Disciple Brother Lin Fan.

How could this be possible?!

That Five Thunders Spell just now could not possibly have been cast by Senior Disciple Brother.

Thinking this, Wen Cai quickly poked his head out, searching behind Lin Fan for Uncle Jiu's figure.

"What are you craning your neck for?"

Lin Fan shot Wen Cai an exasperated look and said grumpily.

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, these two, were useless at everything except causing trouble.

If he hadn't been cultivating right next door, something might have happened tonight.

"Senior Disciple Brother, where's Master?"

Wen Cai scrambled to his feet and walked towards Lin Fan, still peering outside.

But outside, where was their Master?

Lin Fan chuckled, "I've seen people in a hurry to eat, but never in a hurry to be punished."

"D-Did Senior Disciple Brother do this?"

Wen Cai's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.

His legs felt weak, and he instinctively placed a hand on Lin Fan's shoulder, then looked back at the five scorched Black Zombies.

"The ghost did it," Lin Fan brushed off Wen Cai's hand and urged, "Hurry up and clean this up."

"Senior Disciple Brother, if you had come any later, we would have become vengeful spirits."

Hearing this, Wen Cai had no mood to clean.

Feeling wronged and terrified, he burst into tears, snot and all, and rushed back to his big brother Lin Fan.

His mind only had one signal: "Finally saved, I'm alive."

Inside the Longevity House.

Outside, Daoist Priest Four-Eyes and Uncle Jiu were chatting, back and forth.

After all, they were fellow disciples who hadn't seen each other in years, and Daoist Priest Four-Eyes only passed by the Mortuary occasionally while escorting corpses.

"Is this corpse escorting trip urgent? Why don't you stay for a simple meal tomorrow before leaving?"

Daoist Priest Four-Eyes replied, "Brother, please don't insist. It's all hard-earned money, so the sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest."

Suddenly, several wisps of corpse energy stirred!

The two exchanged a look and said in unison, "Not good!"

"Longevity House!"

Uncle Jiu uttered a sentence and turned, rushing towards the Longevity House!

"Didn't I tell Wen Cai to settle the zombies? Why would the corpse energy suddenly become agitated?"

Daoist Priest Four-Eyes followed Uncle Jiu, speeding towards the Longevity House.

"Stop the nonsense. With Wen Cai's pathetic skills, let alone five zombies, one would be enough to tear him apart!"

Uncle Jiu's expression was grave, and he waved his hand, cutting off further talk.

The two dashed across the courtyard.

Suddenly, a powerful thunderous aura erupted ahead.

Inside the house, five Black Zombies lay in all directions, their life force completely extinguished.

Their bodies looked as if they were about to burst, their clothes tattered.

"What happened?"

Uncle Jiu frowned and asked.

The timid Wen Cai hid to the side, terrified that his Master would swallow him alive, and couldn't utter a word.

"It's over, it's over. Not even ashes are left this time, all the money is gone."

Daoist Priest Four-Eyes looked at the Black Zombies, his heart bleeding.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he felt something strange!

This isn't right!

With Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, these two, let alone five Black Zombies, even one would be difficult for them!

Lin Fan was better, but he shouldn't be able to deal with five Black Zombies.

Not to mention, these Black Zombies before them were clearly killed by lightning!

"Who else was here just now?"

Uncle Jiu slowly stepped forward, scanning the surroundings with a grave expression.

Someone else must have been here!

But... why did they disappear after saving them?

"Who?"

Qiu Sheng was startled by the question, a little slow to react.

Daoist Priest Four-Eyes chuckled, "Qiu Sheng, you're usually quite brave, what's with the daze now?"

"No, Uncle, what am I confused about?"

Qiu Sheng said with a helpless, annoyed tone.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Priest Four-Eyes curled his lips and said, "With just the three of you, all you could do was shout 'Master, help!' like just now. Who dealt with these zombies?"

"This..."

Qiu Sheng finally realized that his Master and Uncle thought someone else had saved them!

He immediately felt helpless and looked at Senior Disciple Brother with a bitter smile.

"Why are you looking at Lin Fan? I'm asking you!"

Uncle Jiu frowned, urging him impatiently.

Qiu Sheng spread his hands. "Who else could it be? Master, it was Senior Disciple Brother who saved us."

"What?!" Daoist Priest Four-Eyes was stunned, then chuckled and waved his hand. "Impossible, stop joking."

"Qiu Sheng, if you keep fooling around, Master will have to punish you!"

Uncle Jiu's face sank, and he stared intently at Qiu Sheng, saying sternly.

"No, Master..." Qiu Sheng's head ached, and he said with a helpless expression, "It really was Senior Disciple Brother. Why would I lie to you?"

"This..."

Seeing Qiu Sheng's expression, Daoist Priest Four-Eyes couldn't help but believe him a little.

He turned to look at Lin Fan beside him, feeling it was strange.

Lin Fan alone dealt with these five Black Zombies?

Impossible!

Lin Fan was indeed always hardworking and smart.

However, his talent in cultivation was truly average.

Even with his rapid progress lately, he absolutely couldn't have reached this level!

"Lin Fan, did you do all this?"

Uncle Jiu asked, half-believing.

"Master, it was me."

Lin Fan finally snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing this and quickly nodded.

He didn't care about killing or not. The System had just unlocked a new function!

Let's wrap this up quickly. I need to try out the new stuff and go level up!
