Stuffed Full by the System!

Yun Zhi held Xiao Fan in her arms. As she looked at his pale, weakened face and the claw marks the Little Lion King had left across his chest, anger flashed in her eyes.

When her hand felt the torn, bloody flesh on Xiao Fan's back, her anger flared even higher.

Seeing the Little Lion King leap out of the Mountain Cave, she furiously slashed her sword at him.

Before the Little Lion King could land, Yun Zhi's attack sent him flying back into the Mountain Cave, his fate unknown.

"Human, how dare you strike my son!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had only just arrived. Upon discovering that something had happened here, they had immediately rushed back, but with her wind attribute aiding her, Yun Zhi had arrived a moment before him.

He returned just in time to see his son sent flying.

Yun Zhi shifted her gaze toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King and said furiously, "You'd better pray he's all right. Otherwise, I'll kill you all."

With that, she hurried away with Xiao Fan in her arms.

She rushed all the way back to their previous hiding place.

Yun Zhi laid Xiao Fan on the ground and carefully examined his injuries.

She discovered that Xiao Fan's injuries were not too serious. He had merely been knocked unconscious by the blast from the final collision between the heavenly flame and the purple flame.

Yun Zhi gently exhaled, and the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled.

Looking at the hideous wounds on Xiao Fan's body, Yun Zhi hesitated, then thought, Lucky you.

She pressed a finger against the top of Xiao Fan's head to keep him from waking, then removed his tattered clothes.

At the sight of Xiao Fan's naked body, Yun Zhi turned her head away and spat softly.

"Who would have thought that after cultivating alone for decades, I'd end up..."

Then, her cheeks flushed, she carefully cleaned the grime from Xiao Fan's wounds.

Once the wounds were clean, Yun Zhi took some medicine from her ring and carefully applied it to Xiao Fan's body.

After finishing everything, she took the ring from Xiao Fan's hand, changed him into a fresh set of clothes, and retrieved the purple spirit crystal she needed from the ring.

Looking at Xiao Fan lying on the ground, Yun Zhi hesitated. Then she turned her back to him, slowly removed her dress, and left the Sea Heart Soft Armor there.

Yun Zhi gently breathed out a stale breath. Looking at the still-unconscious Xiao Fan, her eyes filled with hesitation, she murmured, "Ah! I'd intended to take you as my disciple and bring you back to the Misty Cloud Sect, but instead..."

"Never mind. I'll leave you some cultivation arts. We should have a chance to meet again someday."

With that, she gently flapped the Dou Qi wings on her back and gradually disappeared into the sky.

Only after a long while did Xiao Fan wake.

His entire body felt comfortable, with no lingering injuries.

Suddenly remembering something, he sat bolt upright and looked around.

This was the place where he and Yun Zhi had previously hidden.

"Hah, you left without a word. Next time we meet, just see if I don't spank you..."

Atop a lofty peak, a standing figure trembled, barely resisting the urge to go back down and teach him a lesson.

Then Xiao Fan looked at the Sea Heart Soft Armor and the cultivation arts and Dou Techniques left beside him. He put the books away and held the Sea Heart Soft Armor in his hands. It seemed to still carry her scent.

Carefully putting on the Sea Heart Soft Armor, Xiao Fan opened the system to check his quest. As expected, he had completed it perfectly.

Excellent. Xiao Fan discovered that his quest was complete, and Yun Yun's favorability had actually reached 75, a little higher than Xiao Yi Xian's. It seemed their month together had not been for nothing.

"Pidàn, claim the quest experience."

Knowing the ropes, Xiao Fan directly summoned the Summoning System to claim his completion rewards. An Earth Tier spear Dou Technique—it was like receiving charcoal in the snow.

"Ding! Rewards issued. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Earth Tier Dou Technique-Cloud Crane Shadow."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining 150 experience points."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining Dou Qi +10."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining Dou Qi +10."

Faced with the string of rewards, Xiao Fan immediately chose to absorb them.

During his month of arduous cultivation, he had received no system quests, but his physique, transformed by the system, was already superb. Xiao Fan had reached the middle stage of Eight-Star Dou Zhe, and now, with these quest rewards...

Xiao Fan's aura climbed steadily, and he soon reached the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Zhe.

Xiao Fan had only just finished absorbing the rewards when another system notification rang out.

"Ding! The system has reached level five. The lottery section has been upgraded to the summoning module. Reward: 100 Dou Qi points."

"Reward: 1,000 origin coins."

Xiao Fan was just about to ask what the summoning module was when he felt a vast surge of Dou Qi appear within him. He could only continue absorbing it.

His strength, which had just broken through to Nine-Star Dou Zhe, continued to rise.

He soon reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zhe, yet a large amount of Dou Qi remained unabsorbed by Xiao Fan.

Could I break through to Dou Shi in one go?

Xiao Fan could not help wondering.

At that thought, excitement burned in Xiao Fan's heart.

Without further hesitation, he continued absorbing the excess Dou Qi within his body.

Xiao Fan's aura gradually pushed beyond Nine-Star Dou Zhe, slowly approaching the threshold of Dou Shi.

As Xiao Fan absorbed it, the Dou Qi within him gradually dwindled. Turning his gaze inward, he carefully refined the energy.

His dou qi vortex was also spinning at its limit.

After roughly an hour, Xiao Fan finally finished absorbing the Dou Qi within him, and his cultivation had just reached the point of breaking through to Dou Shi.

"Ding! Host detected at Dou Shi level. Reward: one Soul Tempering session."

Having only just broken through to Dou Shi, Xiao Fan had no time to do anything before the system suddenly stuffed him full once again.

"Fuck, system, you're not feeding me my last meal, are you?!"

Then he began to endure the system's merciless torment.

The Soul Tempering came from the soul power Yao Lao had left behind earlier. Whenever Xiao Fan broke through a major realm, the system selectively used Yao Lao's insights to temper his soul.

Having just broken through to Dou Shi, Xiao Fan had no time to explore the differences between Dou Shi and Dou Zhe before the system's Soul Tempering filled him to the brim again.
