Coordinates Exposed, a Hidden Danger Emerges

Xiao Fan activated the Flying and Earth Escape Technique and sped through the air.

The two foreign races nearby looked like noble-blood demons!

"Damn, what are they doing?" Xiao Fan's expression shifted slightly.

Foreign races had excellent eyesight and perception. Had they already discovered that the person in the tempering pool was Xianhuo?

They were fiddling with a communications device now. Were they trying to send word out?

That would be trouble!

Without wasting a word, Xiao Fan prepared to kill them both in an instant!

He activated All-Round Enhancement Six!

"Fire Dragon Token!"

Heavenly Soaring Fire ignited in his palm. High in the sky, his fist shot out like a dragon, delivering a punch with overwhelming momentum!

The two noble-blood demons had just sent their message when they abruptly looked up. Terror filled their faces as they saw the flames roaring toward them.

"Holy shit, what is that?"

"It's only Heavenly Soaring Fire. Why does it have such terrifying power?"

"Run!"

But it was too late. The flames engulfed them, yet they did not die. They retreated in panic, using every trick they had to flee into the distance!

But just then, one of the noble-blood demons suddenly felt his ass tighten. The next second-

"Aaaaah, fuck!" A heart-rending howl rang out as his asshole was pierced!

Xiao Fan was exceptionally brutal, driving straight through his asshole and out the top of his skull, mangling the noble-blood foreigner's body! He died on the spot!

Immediately afterward, Xiao Fan turned to look at the other noble-blood demon.

The demon's pupils abruptly contracted. "It's you! That human trash who lives off a woman?"

"No, you're not trash. You were playing dumb!"

"Fuck, run!"

Xiao Fan's face was full of disdain.

Could he get away?

Another One Thousand Years of Death killed him instantly!

Both foreigners were only at the peak of the third tier, in the same realm as Xiao Fan.

But within the same realm, Xiao Fan was invincible. After breaking through to the Martial Artist Ninth Stage, his strength had reached a terrifying 5,800 kg. Back when he had a one-star talent, gaining a level had added at most 30 kg to his strength. Now it added a full hundred!

The fourth-tier demon from before had possessed less than 4,000 kg of strength. How could these two third-tier demons possibly withstand Xiao Fan's One Thousand Years of Death?

The entire fight had lasted less than ten seconds. Xiao Fan was very pleased with the power of his flames. Moreover, if their intensity rose by just one more star, he probably wouldn't have needed to follow up with One Thousand Years of Death!

Next, Xiao Fan hurriedly picked up the communications device in his hand, his expression turning cold!

"There's a fourth-tier tempering pool at these coordinates. The Demon War God's daughter is suspected to be inside!"

"Damn it!" Xiao Fan crushed the communications device in his hand and snorted coldly, preparing to turn back. But before leaving, he instinctively took the two corpses and their storage rings with him!

After he landed, Li Kai and the other two were already staring blankly.

They had watched with their own eyes as the two noble-blood foreigners were killed in an instant.

The fight hadn't lasted more than ten seconds from beginning to end!

A towering flame had roared past, and the opponents had exploded just like that?

Wasn't he only at the Martial Artist Ninth Stage?

How could he be this freakishly strong?

Li Kai was annoyed with himself, thinking he had been a complete idiot. How could he have thought this guy was trash?

I'm the trash!

Why did I doubt Miss Lin's judgment? Why did I doubt Lord Demon War God's choice?

He only looks completely ordinary. Once he gets into a fight, he's... too bizarre.

Li Kai truly found it bizarre. An exalted-grade talent was very ordinary, and the Martial Artist Ninth Stage was also very ordinary, yet he was simply strong!

Wait, what is this expert doing?

Xiao Fan took out a set of sophisticated equipment and began extracting essence blood on the spot. His methods were extremely unorthodox, but the results were no worse for it!

And once he was done, he gulped down the two cups of essence blood, one mouthful per cup.

The sight made all three of them nauseated. They retched in disgust.

But the expert licked his lips with a look of enjoyment.

What a freak!

They were starting to get scared!

Could he be an ogre?

Just then, Xiao Fan turned around, pointed at Li Kai, and said calmly, "Hey, you, come here!"

Li Kai hurried over in a panic, his expression full of humility. "M-my lord, do you have orders for me?"

Xiao Fan chuckled. "Oh? Weren't you calling me trash before? Now you're calling me 'my lord'?"

"No, no, no, my lord. I was blind before. Like the dog that bit Lü Dongbin, I failed to recognize a good heart. It was all my fault."

Li Kai's apology was utterly sincere. He bowed and scraped with his head lowered.

Xiao Fan couldn't be bothered to hold it against him. He said calmly, "I have some bad news."

"Those two noble-blood foreigners already sent out word that Xianhuo is here. Tempering will take at least half a month."

"Ask where Lin Lianshen has gone and whether he has time to come help his sister. I'm worried that alone, my two fists won't be able to fend off four hands."

Li Kai sighed. "That really is bad news!"

Just then, Lin Xianhuo suddenly walked out. She had already killed the companion beast.

"The coordinates have been exposed?"

"Yes." Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

Lin Xianhuo said gravely, "It's all right. I'll go straight to the deepest part of the tempering pool. Even if others want to come after me, they'll have to be able to get down there first!"

"Can you withstand the flames at the deepest part?" Xiao Fan's brows knitted tightly.

A day would be fine, but tempering meant staying there for more than ten days!

Lin Xianhuo shook her head. "I don't know, but here, I want to..."

She abruptly raised her head and said earnestly, "Surpass my limits!"

Looking into those beautiful eyes, sharp and earnest, Xiao Fan smiled in relief. Then he cupped her cheek with one hand and gently kissed her lips.

"Go on. Go surpass your limits!"

Xianhuo took a deep breath, turned, and leaped into the tempering pool.

The tempering pool was divided into several levels. The outermost part, which was also the top, had the lowest temperature. The deeper it went, the hotter it became.

A fourth-tier tempering pool took at least a dozen years to form. In other words, the depths underground had been burning for more than ten years and might even have turned into molten lava. The temperature was terrifying!

But that also meant it was more efficient!

Looking at the molten lava leaping before her, Lin Xianhuo abruptly clenched her fists and shouted in her heart, I must keep up with Xiao Fan!

There was a price for gaining any kind of power. To become an expert, Xiao Fan had gone to Beast Mountain at thirteen!

Thirteen! It was no exaggeration to call him a child who hadn't even grown all his hair yet!

What about me? I was still acting like a spoiled princess at thirteen!

She hesitated no longer and leaped in. In an instant, the molten lava burned her clothes to ashes, and her exquisitely beautiful face twitched in pain from time to time.

Only half a day had passed before she felt ready to break down. It was as if tens of thousands of steel needles had pierced her skin and were constantly stirring the flesh and blood beneath it!

Her heart roared frantically, Go up! It'll be comfortable up there. As long as I go up, I won't be tired or hurt anymore!

But when she thought of Xiao Fan's body, covered in wounds, her resolve hardened once more, and a trace of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes!

I won't hold Xiao Fan back! I won't!!

Above the tempering pool, Xiao Fan quietly inventoried the two noble-blood foreigners' storage rings. The things inside really were quite valuable.

But he had eyes only for martial arts, and martial arts were all he wanted!

The martial arts of the foreign races and humans certainly weren't compatible, but the system could learn them. Although he couldn't use them, since their bodies were built differently, that was fine. He could fuse them!

The foreign races also had enhancement-type martial arts, and he could fuse their effects into his own!

As he rummaged through the rings, Xiao Fan felt somewhat helpless. He really wanted a super-powerful martial art. Divine Ape Golden Body was powerful enough; ever since learning it, he hadn't shed a drop of blood. The problem was that it was incomplete!

But these people's storage rings were practically certain not to contain their owners' ultimate arts. Xianhuo had said those martial arts were closely guarded family secrets. How could they possibly let someone carry them around in a storage ring? Unless they had been stolen!

Suddenly, Xiao Fan's gaze sharpened. He raised his brows and pulled something out!

"Demon Slash," a sixth-tier martial art. Tch, it wasn't an enhancement type!

Whatever. He would record it first.

Wait, Xiao Fan suddenly saw another martial art beneath Demon Slash: "Divine Meridians: Introductory Volume"!

It was a human martial art! Its effect was simple and direct: it greatly increased the stability of the meridians!

Xiao Fan was delighted!

Don't forget, Xiao Fan still had a trump card-Elemental Overlap!

But after activating Elemental Overlap, his meridians and internal organs would become unstable, entering a state where they could explode at any moment!

Divine Meridians could at least stabilize his meridians. Perhaps it would let him fight to some extent while Elemental Overlap was active!

Moreover, Xiao Fan could tell that after the introductory volume, there should also be an upper and a lower volume. He would find a way to get the complete set later!

Record it right away!

It happened to be a fourth-tier enhancement-type martial art. Mission progress: (4/30)!

P.S. Five updates today. I don't have any great abilities, but at least I can provide enough to keep you well fed!
