Wei Fan returned to the room once more.
"Tiger's Breath Art, Extreme Breakthrough!"
Boom!
A mysterious energy exploded within his body, and the black hair atop Wei Fan's head began growing wildly.
Roar!
A tiger's roar echoed from the unseen depths. Wei Fan's long hair stirred without wind, and an invisible pressure radiated from his entire body, like the king of all beasts. A strange marking also appeared on his forehead.
Wei Fan reached out and grabbed the scale weight hanging on the wall. The iron weight was squeezed in his hand like clay, oozing out through his fingers.
Grasping Iron into Mud!!!
"Brother, breakfast is ready!" Wei Yingying came over carrying breakfast. The moment she saw Wei Fan's current state, she was frightened stiff!
Smack!
The bowl holding the steamed buns fell to the floor.
"I'm coming!" Wei Fan casually tossed the crushed scale weight to the ground. His enlarged body returned to normal, and even the muscles on his body became less pronounced.
After the Tiger's Breath Art underwent an Extreme Breakthrough, Wei Fan could now freely control his body.
"Brother, how did you do that? That's so awesome!" Wei Yingying squatted on the ground, staring in wonder at the scale weight Wei Fan had crushed.
"It's nothing, I just got a little stronger!" Wei Fan said. "No need to eat steamed buns. Go buy a few meat buns from Granny Wang."
"Okay, Brother!" Wei Yingying skipped out the door.
At that moment, Wei Fan added, "Ying'er, don't tell anyone about my cultivation!"
"I know!" Wei Yingying nodded obediently.
Wei Fan was quite reassured about that. He and his sister had depended on each other for survival, and they had long since placed absolute trust in one another.
Afterward, Wei Fan looked at his panel again.
Name: Wei Fan Cultivation Art: Tiger's Breath Art, True Intent Level True Intent State: Effects, Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might Energy: 2
"After the Extreme Breakthrough, my strength has increased by at least two thousand jin. If I use the True Intent State, my strength will become boundless."
The corners of Wei Fan's mouth lifted.
The feeling of his entire body brimming with power filled him with incomparable security and exhilaration.
If he encountered that White Nether ghost again tonight, Wei Fan was confident he could kill it!
Taking out a bronze mirror, Wei Fan saw that his features had become sharper than before, and he now possessed an indescribable air of majesty. This was likely the influence of the cultivation art's true intent.
Wei Fan closed his eyes, then opened them again. His aura withdrew entirely, and his bearing became ordinary once more.
He had only just awakened the system, and he did not yet wish to draw attention.
Because in any era, the human heart was more terrifying than ghosts and monsters.
Before he possessed absolute strength, Wei Fan decided to keep a low profile and develop quietly.
Though Wushan Village was called a village, it was not small, with a population of over two thousand.
Moreover, in this chaotic age where monsters ran rampant, such an independent human society was strictly hierarchical.
Wushan Village was circular in shape. At its center stood a massive stone stele called the Monster Suppressing Stone, which could fend off the invasion of most ghosts and monsters.
Therefore, the closer one was to the Monster Suppressing Stone, the safer one was.
Thus, Wushan Village was divided into an inner district and an outer district. The inner district was safe and comfortable, where the wealthy and powerful lived.
The place where Wei Fan lived was the outer district, at the edge of the village, filled with yellow-mud thatched houses.
Furthermore, the people of the outer district all had to engage in production or grow food. They had to hand over seventy percent of their output every year, making the terms exceptionally harsh.
Though they could receive the village's protection in return, it would be more accurate to say that the people of the Inner Circle never cared whether those in the Outer Circle lived or died. They treated them more as "production tools."
Wei Fan's family had originally lived in the inner district, but after his parents died fighting monsters, they were driven out. Fortunately, they left behind a considerable inheritance. Otherwise, once he turned fifteen, he would have been forcibly required to engage in production.
A while later, Wei Yingying returned with meat buns. Her face was pale as she entered, and she said nervously:
"Brother, Granny Wang from the bun shop said that thing appeared last night, and two people died?"
"Yes." Wei Fan nodded. "Eat first. The Outer Circle is becoming more and more dangerous. Today, I'll apply to join the Night Watch Team. In a few days, we'll be able to move into the Inner Circle!"
"The Night Watch Team?" Wei Yingying was stunned at first, then said angrily, "Brother, the Night Watch Team is too dangerous. I won't allow you to go! Living here is perfectly fine."
"It's all right. Since I dare to go, I naturally have a way to keep myself safe!" Wei Fan said.
By joining the Night Watch Team, he could obtain more cultivation arts, and killing monsters could also earn him Energy Points.
So for the moment, joining the Night Watch Team was the best choice.
As for safety, although the death rate among Night Watchers was high, the powerful captains and Vice Captains were still the same few people. That showed that as long as one was strong enough, preserving one's life was still not much of a problem.
Wei Fan had once watched a Vice Captain fight from afar. The man was very strong. As long as Wei Fan obtained their cultivation arts and used the system's One-Click Max Level, he could become just as strong!
