In a valley in the wilderness outside Yang City, Xia Nation.
"What do we do? Over a dozen fourth-grade beasts-how could we be this unlucky?" Fear filled Hu Xia's voice.
"Hang in there, everyone. The teachers will be here to rescue us soon," Lin Feng said, trying to steady their morale.
"Actually, there is a way to survive. Lin Feng, you have no attachments, so sacrifice yourself and give us a way out." A cruel smile curled Chen Qiang's lips.
Lin Feng's heart sank at Chen Qiang's words, and he tried to turn around.
But the next instant, he felt a palm slam hard into his back.
Lin Feng's body flew uncontrollably toward the beasts.
At the sight of the human flying toward them, over a dozen beasts pounced on Lin Feng, biting and tearing savagely.
Chen Qiang and the other three seized the chance to run out of the valley.
Outside the valley, Chen Qiang and the other three finally saw that they were out of danger and stopped.
"Brother Qiang, do you think anyone will find out?" Hu Xia asked with some concern.
"What are you scared of? Lin Feng's dead. If none of you talk, who will know?"
"Besides, so what if they find out? Who would dare punish me, Chen Qiang?"
"Why do you think I brought that trash Lin Feng along for the trial? His death is perfect-one less piece of trash wasting resources."
"If that useless father of his hadn't made a little contribution before he died, what right would Lin Feng have to study at the Third Martial School?"
Chen Qiang felt no guilt whatsoever over causing Lin Feng's death, laughing with wild arrogance.
Inside the valley, Lin Feng had fallen among the beasts, which tore at his body with their teeth.
Feeling the pain coursing through his body, Lin Feng was utterly despairing. Am I going to die like this? I haven't avenged Dad yet. I still want to keep killing beasts!
Just as Lin Feng felt his consciousness about to fade, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Host detected. System starting. System started successfully!
Before Lin Feng could think about what was happening, he suddenly felt as though his surroundings had frozen. Everything abruptly stopped moving.
"Host, welcome to the system space."
The mechanical voice brought Lin Feng back to awareness.
Although he lived in a world of martial artists, Lin Feng had read novels, so he naturally knew what a system meant.
Have I gotten a golden finger? Am I going to make it big? Do I have a chance to avenge Dad? A chance to kill every beast in the world? Lin Feng felt a little dazed.
"Please claim your beginner's gift pack," the mechanical voice sounded again.
"System, what functions do you have?" Rather than heed the prompt, Lin Feng asked cautiously.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a piece of information enter his mind.
After absorbing it, Lin Feng finally understood the system's functions.
The system was simple: kill living beings to obtain energy points.
Energy points could be used for draws and upgrades.
Anything could be upgraded, as long as Lin Feng had enough energy points.
Once he understood, Lin Feng looked at the interface again. "Claim the beginner's gift pack."
Congratulations! You have received three draws. Beginner's gift pack draws guarantee a reward. Beginning the first draw: congratulations, host! You have received the Undying and Indestructible Buff.
At that sound, Lin Feng's breathing quickened, and he hurriedly looked at the buff before him.
Undying and Indestructible Buff: All things may die, but you will not. The world may be destroyed, but you will not die. The Great Dao may fall, but you will not die. In short, you simply will not die.
"Hahahaha! From today onward, I, Lin Feng, am invincible! You damned beasts, just wait for your daddy to come harvest you!" Lin Feng could not help laughing wildly.
Only after a good while did Lin Feng regain his composure.
"Begin the second draw." Taking advantage of his good luck, Lin Feng began his second draw.
Congratulations! You have received the Ignore Pain Buff.
After reading its description, Lin Feng realized that although this reward was not the best, it was an absolutely perfect match for the undying and indestructible buff. He continued drawing.
Congratulations! You have received the divine ability Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.
The next instant, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from Lin Feng's body.
Before Lin Feng had time to rejoice, another voice sounded. "The host's physical strength has been detected as insufficient. Sixteen-Foot Golden Body is being sealed. Black Iron Battle Body is unlocked at the current level. Further stages will become available as physical strength increases."
A moment later, the golden light around Lin Feng gradually faded, leaving only a small giant standing 2.5 meters tall, his entire body radiating a dark sheen.
Lin Feng tested his current strength and found that it had reached at least 600 kg, half again the 400 kg of an ordinary body refinement fourth grade practitioner.
Although it was not the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, Lin Feng was already very satisfied. Besides, couldn't he upgrade it later?
After all, only extraordinary geniuses could comprehend divine abilities, and most geniuses only comprehended them after reaching the Qi Sea Realm.
As far as Lin Feng knew, cultivation was divided into four realms: Body Tempering, Qi Sea, Astral Yuan, and Astral Body. He knew nothing about the realms beyond those. The strongest person in Yang City was only an expert at peak Astral Yuan.
