Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan was naturally disappointed in how things turned out, but he couldn't let his disappointment hold him back.

Since the door was already open for him, that meant that all he had to do was fight the boss and claim the quest item before this would be over. Still, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a bit worried.

He wasn't worried about the boss being strong, but rather he was worried that there wasn't going to be a boss.

After all, everything seemed like it was coming naturally to him and there were no signs that anyone had been around, so it seemed likely that there was no one in this room.

But when he opened the door, he wasn't disappointed right away since there was someone inside. It was only when he saw that person that he was disappointed.

The person inside was an old man who was sitting at the desk, leaned back in the chair as he had his head back and was snoring. On the desk in front of him was a box and inside the box on a satin pillow was the golden pen.

Lin Fan was disappointed because he couldn't sense any power coming from the old man at all, like he didn't have any cultivation. Though, he didn't completely let his guard down and waited since this was also a trick that bosses normally used.

As for Mo Ze Chen, when he came into the room, the first thing his eyes fell onto was the golden pen on the table.

This was one of his bad habits from his treasure hunting days. The moment he saw the treasure, there would be a split second where he forgot everything and would focus on the treasure.

As soon as he saw the golden pen on the desk, Mo Ze Chen shouted, "Boss, look, there it is!"

The moment these words came out of his mouth, the old man in the chair suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the two of them. At first his eyes were sharp, but then they relaxed as they suddenly revealed a confused look.

The old man turned to look down at his desk, specifically at a crystal that was lying on the right side of the desk.

When he saw that this crystal was still glowing, he couldn't help being more confused as he turned back to Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen and asked, "How did you two get in here?"

Mo Ze Chen realized that he had made a mistake as he looked at the old man first before turning to Lin Fan with an awkward look.

Lin Fan on the other hand was happy that it had happened since it meant that this wouldn't be boring for him. This old man was clearly different from the other ghosts with how he was asking them questions, which showed a higher level of intelligence.

Since that was the case, perhaps he would also be able to find out just what this place was from this old man as well.

But the old man made it clear that he had no intentions of talking this out as he suddenly released his aura.

Mo Ze Chen was instantly overwhelmed by this aura since it was much stronger than the auras of all the other ghosts, including the ghost commander that they had met before.

The ghost commander was already in the peak Embryo Soul Realm, which meant that this principal must have broken past that limit and was in the Child Soul Realm.

While Mo Ze Chen was certain that he and Lin Fan were both in the Embryo Soul Realm, with Lin Fan being much stronger than him, being at the peak Embryo Soul Realm, he knew that they wouldn't be able to defeat this ghost in the Child Soul Realm with just this.

The concept of the Embryo Soul Realm and the Child Soul Realm was like heaven and earth. This was something that was true for every jump in the Soul Realm.

But while Mo Ze Chen had a look of despair on his face, Lin Fan had a look of excitement since he could also feel how strong his opponent was.

His weapons had become stronger and he could feel that there was only a single step before he broke through as well, so he wanted to use this battle as that catalyst.

The principal had looked like a normal old man at first, but once he released his aura, his body began to change. His skin rotted and his eyes disappeared, as he began looking more and more like the ghosts that were wandering outside.

After he had finished changing, he completely ignored Mo Ze Chen because he could tell that the most dangerous one out of the two of them was clearly Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had been waiting for the ghost principal to power up since he wanted to fight him at his most powerful.

At the same time, he had also released his pets and they had gone to the walls in this room, creating another array. Although it wasn't as big as the one that they had set up before, it was still as powerful.

The energy concentrated into a single shot which once again fell down onto Lin Fan's sword, covering it with five different coloured glows.

Then after that, there were six different coloured glows that came out of Lin Fan himself as they all wrapped around his sword, finally settling to create a nine coloured glow around Lin Fan's sword.

What kind of a concept was this?

​ This was nine different laws all gathered around a single sword, the power contained within it was impossible to imagine.

The only thing that was keeping it stable was Lin Fan's absorption power which helped him redirect a lot of the lashback that came from combining these nine laws together.

If it wasn't for this power, Lin Fan's nine laws would have definitely clashed against each other and exploded, creating a crater that would have destroyed the entire school, as well as most of the city around them. It might have even taken out a chunk of the tree they were currently in, though it wouldn't have been able to completely burn through the tree's trunk.

Mo Ze Chen had a look of terror when he stared at Lin Fan. He knew that Lin Fan was powerful, but he never thought that he would be this powerful…

Lin Fan had only used a single strike before, so he hadn't been able to see Lin Fan's full strength, but seeing the nine coloured glows around Lin Fan's sword, there was no mistaking it.

He had never heard of anyone with this kind of power in the upper realm before, so he knew now that his decision was definitely correct when he chose to follow Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't waste any time since even though he could use the absorption power to keep this mass of laws stable, it was definitely draining holding this. Lin Fan couldn't waste any time while he had this around his sword, he had to finish this fight as soon as possible.

It was a good thing that the principal had the same idea the moment he saw Lin Fan release his power.

He could feel the danger that was coming from the sword and he knew that if he held back in the slightest, he would die in a single blow.

The ghost principal gathered all his strength into his fist and punched out right at Lin Fan's head.

Lin Fan wasn't slow to react and he immediately raised his sword before slashing it down with all the power that was contained within it.

Before they even clashed, the law energy that they released clashed against each other, creating pressure that filled the air. There were even small sparks that appeared around them even though there was nothing clashing.

As they approached, both of them steeled their hearts and pulled out every single drop of power that they had into this single strike since they knew that it would decide the fight.

However, before Lin Fan's sword could make contact with the ghost principal's fist, there was something that happened to Lin Fan first.

As he was charging out, there was a wisp of gold that suddenly appeared on his forehead. The moment this wisp of gold appeared, it quickly spread all over him, including covering his sword.

The ghost principal was surprised to see this, but it was already too late to hold back, so his fist met the sword head on.

There was no delay in this clash, there wasn't even a slight pause as Lin Fan's sword covered in the golden glow cut right through the fist of the ghost principal, slashing down his arm until it reached his shoulder before coming out, dropping half of his arm onto the ground, while burning the rest of it.

The ghost principal looked at his arm and looked back at Lin Fan before muttering, "The light of the saviour…It's you…"

Then without another word, the same golden glow suddenly exploded around the ghost principal, completely covering him.

It was clear by how he faded that this ghost principal was disappearing, but even though his death was upon him, the ghost principal still had a smile on his face as he looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at his own sword in shock as he didn't know where this golden glow had come from, but he also turned to the ghost principal to watch his final moments.

As the ghost principal was burning away, he looked Lin Fan right in the eyes before saying, "We're counting on you."

Then he completely disappeared into a pile of ashes.
