" Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest."
With a loud roar from Ye Lin, the thousand-meter-tall phantom tiger let out a deafening roar.
Then the phantom tiger leaped up, its thick, powerful claw slamming down on the Demon Beast's head.
"No!!!"
Seeing the enormous claw, the Demon Beast's eyes widened in terror as it roared in fury.
At this point, he was still exhausted and likely to die suddenly if he fought again.
With a deafening roar, the earth cracked open, and the ground trembled for miles around.
The tiger's phantom image vanished, Demon Beast's enormous body slowly collapsed.
It crashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A powerful demon at the Nascent Soul Realm, has died.
"Damn it."
The next moment, Ye Lin swayed and fell directly from the sky to the ground.
The immense aura that had surged within him just moments before was now extremely weak.
"Puff."
Ye Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The effects of the medicine had worn off, and now the side effects were beginning: excruciating pain in the meridians and a burning sensation in the internal organs.
The Golden Core was completely dim.
"Phew, I need to rest as soon as possible."
Ye Lin used the last of his strength to cut off all the vital parts of the Demon Beast in front of him and put them into his Spatial Ring.
They then found three Mysterious Grade Middle Tier in the ruins and flew towards their residence.
After arriving at his lodgings, Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, swallowed all the spiritual energy he had just gained, and began to recover with all his might.
This time it was a direct and severe blow, and the injuries were more serious than any before.
However, he brought all of this upon himself.
Time flies, and eight months have passed quietly.
"Phew, all restored."
On this day, Ye Lin, who had been motionless for eight months, slowly opened his eyes.
His aura was incredibly powerful.
In eight months, his last savings were exhausted, and all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and Spirit Stone were used for recovery.
His cultivation level has become more stable, and it won't be long before he enters the late stage of the Golden Core.
"But it was all worth it."
Seeing the clone beside his Dantian becoming increasingly agile, Ye Lin smiled slightly.
Although the effort was enormous, the rewards were equally enormous.
"The whole process has taken eleven months, and the annual points assessment is fast approaching. I need to take on a few more tasks to get through the assessment."
For Ye Lin now, the points-based assessment is very simple.
He is capable of handling the vast majority of tasks in the Mission Pavilion.
After all, the Mission Pavilion within the Outer Sect is only open to the Outer Sect disciples.
The vast majority of the Outer Sect disciples are at the Golden Core stage, so even if there are missions, they won't be too difficult.
When Ye Lin arrived at the Mission Pavilion Mission Pavilion, it was extremely lively.
The disciples, each with an anxious expression, were frantically selecting tasks.
It's just like a student who didn't do any homework all summer and is frantically catching up on it in the last few days.
Ye Lin pushed his way to the front, looking at the tasks displayed there.
To save time, Qi Mengmeng posted all the task details, rewards, and points rewards at the top for her disciples to view.
"Junior brother? It's been so long since I've seen you. I thought you'd been eliminated. I was so disappointed for a long time."
At this moment, Qi Mengmeng approached Ye Lin with a smile on her face.
Having not seen Ye Lin for almost a year, she assumed Ye Lin had been eliminated, leading her to believe that this assessment was more difficult than ever before, and that even Ye Lin, whom she had high hopes for, had been eliminated.
Surprisingly, Ye Lin wasn't eliminated.
"Hello, senior sister. But, senior sister, do you have any missions with high reward points?"
Looking at Qi Mengmeng in front of him, Ye Lin smiled slightly and then asked.
He glanced at them just now, and the rewards for these tasks hanging there were no more than fifty points.
To meet the target, you must accumulate 1,000 points.
He would have to work non-stop for a month to reach 1,000 points, and there's still a chance he might not be able to finish it.
Therefore, he wanted to find a task that could be completed in one step.
Upon hearing this, Qi Mengmeng gave Ye Lin a look that said, "I understand you."
He then took out a small notebook from under the table and began to look through it.
"Junior brother, I happen to have a mission here that fits your requirements, but take a look at this mission."
Qi Mengmeng slowly handed the book in her hand to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin looked puzzled, reached out and took it, then slowly opened it.
Mission objective: Go to Divine Sword City in Tianhe Prefecture to participate in the Prefecture Grand Competition, and participate as Outer Sect disciple of Divine Sword City Nameless Mountain. If you achieve a top-three ranking, the mission will be considered successful.
Task Difficulty: Rank 5
Task Rewards: All rewards after a successful Grand Competition belong to the disciple. The reward from Nameless Mountain includes 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stone, 3 Mysterious Grade High Tier pills, 5 Mysterious Grade High Tier spirit stones, and 3,000 points.
Mission failed: 5,000 points deducted.
Task deadline: Five months.
After reading the task details, Ye Lin put away the notebook and handed it to Qi Mengmeng.
"Senior sister, I have a question. The Outer Sect points assessment starts in a month, and this task has a five-month deadline."
"What happens to the assessment if he doesn't return before it's scheduled?"
The task has a five-month deadline, and there's still a month left before the assessment begins. If I'm not there when the assessment starts...
So when I return, will I still be considered a disciple of Nameless Mountain?
Hearing Ye Lin's question, Qi Mengmeng smiled slightly and spoke.
"Junior brother, don't worry about that. Nameless Mountain has corresponding measures in place for this kind of situation."
"As long as you accept an outward mission and it coincides with the Outer Sect points assessment, the sect will automatically consider you to have completed the mission, so you will pass the assessment directly."
"However, if you return to the sect before the deadline for your mission and fail to complete it, you will be expelled from Nameless Mountain."
"So you can only succeed in this mission, failure is not an option, junior brother, think it over carefully."
After Qi Mengmeng finished speaking, Ye Lin pondered for a moment.
"Senior sister, is this Prefecture Grand Competition only open to Golden Core stage disciples?"
Ye Lin asked.
If Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivator were to be able to participate, then there would be no point in fighting.
The last Demon Beast he slew was nearing its end, and only with the help of his many trump cards was he barely able to kill it.
Even if he were at his Nascent Soul Realm, or even just in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, he wouldn't be a match for him.
Once you transcend the realm of power, no matter how extraordinary you are, you are no match for them.
Otherwise, what's the point of establishing cultivation realms?
"Of course, junior brother, you should think it over carefully."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Lin tapped the table in consideration.
If he were to insist on first place, he really wouldn't be confident. As the saying goes, never underestimate anyone.
If it's just a top-three finish, there's still a chance to try and make a comeback.
"Senior sister, I'll take it."
After a moment, Ye Lin said in a firm tone.
"Alright, here's the map. Just follow the map and you'll find Divine Sword City. There are still two months until the start."
"Enough time for you to get there."
Upon hearing Ye Lin's reply, Qi Mengmeng took out a map and placed it in front of Ye Lin.
She didn't try to persuade Ye Lin much. Ye Lin was someone she had only met a few times. If he failed to complete the mission and was expelled, she would only express her regret.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
After receiving the map, Ye Lin bowed to Qi Mengmeng.
Then they squeezed through the crowd and walked out.
On the way, Ye Lin thought for a long time and finally figured out the cause and effect of this mission.
