I Can Augment My Statuses In Tales Of Demons And Gods

Chapter no.3

As Lin Lingtian contemplated the interconnectedness of the Temporal Anomaly, Soul Shards, and War God Technique, a sense of unease settled within him. He couldn't help but feel that something greater was at play, some cosmic force that transcended his understanding.

His eyes drifted to the group of teens gathered at the back of the classroom, and his gaze settled on Nie Li. There was something different about the boy, a sense of otherworldliness that spoke to Lin Lingtian's intuition.

"His personality change, that tone in his voice," he murmured to himself, "that confidence when he challenged Shen Xiu...these are not things that can be easily faked."

Lin Lingtian's mind raced with possibilities. Could Nie Li have traveled back in time using the Temporal Anomaly? And if so, what could be the reason for his actions? His thoughts led him to the dark conclusion that an apocalyptic event loomed on the horizon, one that Nie Li was trying to prevent by altering the past.

But it wasn't just Nie Li's actions that concerned Lin Lingtian. The War God Technique, with its powerful incantations and ancient origins, held the key to unlocking his true potential. He closed his eyes and focused on the chant, allowing the characters to appear in his mind's eye.

As the words echoed in his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him. What horrors lay ahead in this world, and what role would he play in preventing them? These were questions that only time would answer, but one thing was certain - Lin Lingtian would not rest until he had achieved the strength to survive in a world plagued by uncertainty and danger.

....

The Holy Orchid rang with the sound of a bell, piercing the tranquil atmosphere. Lin Lingtian's eyes fluttered open, having been lost in the profound War God Technique. The more he delved into its mysteries, the more elusive it became, yet he gleaned fragments of knowledge.

The War God Technique was unlike any other, forming a scripture tailored to the user's soul form. Lin Lingtian's soul form was that of Yin Wood lotus, which had bestowed upon him the scripture "Army of the Underworld." Such was the technique's adaptability that even those with different soul forms could practice it with optimum results.

In his pursuit of understanding, Lin Lingtian uncovered fascinating insights into Soul Form, Soul Attribute, and Cultivation techniques. He learned that other cultivation techniques also offered unique benefits, but he was yet to unlock the five advantages of the War God Technique.

As he rose from his seat, several young girls invited him to practice martial arts, but he declined politely. However, his departure was delayed when Shen Xiu summoned him to stay. Lin Lingtian's heart raced, and he could only nod as she spoke.

The minutes ticked by until the classroom emptied, leaving only Shen Xiu and Lin Lingtian. He struggled to resist his urges, but his body overruled his will, and his hand reached out to touch hers. A small smile graced Shen Xiu's lips, and as their hands touched, a deluge of memories flooded Lin Lingtian's mind.

[ Flashback ]

In the corridors of one of the Sacred Family's mansions, the servants scurried like mice as a young Lin Lingtian, scarcely seven years of age, trudged outside with a pile of soiled dishes. An elderly woman spoke softly to a guard nearby, her voice was hushed with concern.

"Are you certain?" she whispered.

The guard nodded in affirmation. "Yes," he replied, "the Young Miss Shen Xiu is in a sour state of mind today. She feels aggrieved that Ye Han of the Snow Wind Family received accolades at the joint project on inscription arrays. The young lady claims that she did all the work, but Ye Han stole her credit. As a result, the patriarch has determined that she should be sent into closed-door cultivation to reflect on her behavior."

The Head Servant, Qing, standing nearby, interjected. "You mean to say that I must appoint a servant to stay with and serve the young lady during her confinement?"

The guard nodded. "Precisely," he said, "but choose wisely. The Young Lady Shen Xiu is notorious for her temper and unreasonable behavior. Whoever you select may end up getting themselves killed."

Qing surveyed the room, scanning the faces of the servants. Her gaze rested on young Lin Lingtian, who was in the midst of washing the dishes.

"That little trash," she thought, "would be a perfect sacrificial lamb to appease Shen Xiu's anger."

She called out to Lin Lingtian, "Xiao Lin, you have been chosen to serve the Young Lady Shen Xiu during her closed-door cultivation."

Lin Lingtian bowed respectfully to the Head Servant. "Thank you for selecting me, Miss Qing," he said, "I will not disappoint you."

Qing offered a tight-lipped smile. "I am certain you will not," she said.

As Lin Lingtian made his way to change into clean clothes and prepare to meet the young lady, he ruminated on the situation. "The Young Lady of the Sacred Family is notorious for her temper," he thought, "and from what I have gleaned from the servants' gossip, she is quite spoiled by the patriarch. If she is in closed-door cultivation, then she must have done something that brought shame to the family name or offended someone she shouldn't have. But there has been no rumor or whisper of what she did to merit this punishment. I don't know why she is in confinement, but I do know one thing for sure: she will be incensed and may attack me without reason. I must devise a strategy that will keep me alive while serving her. That old crone Qing must have sent me to her as a lamb to the slaughter."

With a sense of foreboding, Lin Lingtian ventured out to the market to purchase some Fanged Panda Meat.

....

The young Lin Lingtian shuffled down the halls of the grand mansion, a steaming bowl of Fanged Panda Noodles clutched in his trembling hands. He approached a door and placed the bowl outside before knocking with a faint, uncertain rap.

"May I enter the room, Miss Shen Xiu?" he called out, his voice barely audible.

But there was no response, save for the distant creaking of the mansion's ancient beams.

Undeterred, Lin waited, his heart pounding with anticipation. Two hours passed before he finally admitted defeat and retreated to the kitchen to reheat the noodles for himself.

It was then that he heard a sudden thud, followed by the unmistakable crack of wood splintering.

Peering out the window, he caught sight of a young maiden with red hair, her face twisted with anger as she pummeled a training post with a flurry of blows.

"Damn you, Ye Han, you bastard!" she screamed, sweat drenching her body.

Lin Lingtian watched in awe as the young lady of the sacred family, Shen Xiu, unleashed her fury upon the hapless post.

But his admiration was short-lived, as he quickly realized the danger of being caught in the midst of her rage.

Swiftly pouring the broth and noodles into a bowl with some vegetables, he cautiously approached Shen Xiu.

"Miss Shen Xiu, I have brought your Fanged Panda Noodles," he said softly, holding out the bowl.

She sniffed the air, catching the aroma of the noodles. "You, servant, bring me that bowl immediately," she ordered, her voice sharp and imperious.

Lin Lingtian complied, presenting the steaming bowl to her as she eagerly took a bite.

"Delicious," she murmured, slurping up another mouthful. "Tell me, servant, what is your name?"

"Lin Lingtian, Miss Shen Xiu," he replied, bowing low.

"And did my brother order you to cook this meal?" she demanded, suspicion in her eyes.

"No, Miss Shen Xiu," he replied. "I thought it might calm your anger, and allow you to focus on your cultivation."

"Hmm," she said, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Very well. Lin Lingtian, prepare a bath for me. I must cleanse myself before I continue my training."

"Of course, Miss Shen Xiu," he said, scurrying away to do her bidding.

As he hurried down the halls, he couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictable nature of the young maiden he served. But he knew one thing for certain: he would do whatever it took to keep her satisfied and avoid the full brunt of her fury.

.....

The sound of water droplets echoed through the bathhouse as Lin Lingtian scrubbed Shen Xiu's back, his hands moving gently across her jade-like skin.

"Lin Lingtian," Shen Xiu spoke, her voice soft and reflective, "do you think I am beautiful?"

Lin Lingtian hesitated for a moment, knowing that the answer to such a question could be a dangerous path to tread. But he knew better than to deceive his mistress.

"Miss Shen Xiu," he said, "I cannot imagine any beauty that could rival yours. Your radiance outshines any I have ever seen."

Shen Xiu laughed a sharp and bitter sound. "Yes," she said, "you are right. My beauty is without equal. How dare that fool Ye Han suggest otherwise."

...

As the sun rose over the sprawling estate, Lin Lingtian stirred from his slumber, ready to embark upon another day of servitude. He strode purposefully through the opulent halls, sweeping and dusting with a meticulousness befitting a man twice his age.

But his true duty began with the arrival of Shen Xiu, the mistress of the house. Lin Lingtian cooked her breakfast and ran her bath, attending to her every whim with obedience that bordered on the fanatical.

As the afternoon sun beat down upon the estate, Lin Lingtian found himself at Shen Xiu's side, listening intently to her rambling monologues and choosing his words with the utmost care. He knew that his survival depended on keeping her pleased, and so he became a master of flattery and sycophancy.

At night, when the rest of the household slumbered, Lin Lingtian stole away to a hidden chamber where he trained in secret, honing his martial skills and plotting his eventual escape.

The sound of water splashing broke his reverie as Shen Xiu spoke. "Lin, do you think that I could achieve silver rank?"

Lin Lingtian paused for a moment, considering his words carefully before replying. "Indeed, my lady, it is but a matter of time before you ascend to such heights of power and prestige."

Shen Xiu smiled slyly as if sensing his true thoughts. "And what of you, Lin? Do you harbor aspirations of your own?"

Lin Lingtian's eyes narrowed. "My only aspiration, my lady, is to serve you faithfully and without question."

Shen Xiu laughed, a cruel sound that echoed off the tiled walls. "We shall see, Lin. We shall see."

...

At the witching hour, a resounding thud reverberated through the air as Lin Lingtian's sweat-drenched visage collided with the sturdy wooden posts.

"Working hard, I see," a voice remarked, causing Lin to startle in terror. It was Shen Xiu, standing there like a spectral apparition, scrutinizing him with those piercing eyes.

"Young Miss, did I disturb your repose?" Lin stammered, bowing his head in obeisance.

"Heh," Shen Xiu chortled, a sinuous smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Stand up, Lin. You've been in my employ for two months now. There's no need to be so formal. We're friends, aren't we?"

"Of course, Miss Shen Xiu," Lin replied, his tone deferential.

"Xiu," she corrected him, her voice low and mellifluous. "Call me Xiu."

"Xiu... Xiu," he repeated, his words trailing off uncertainly.

Shen Xiu regarded him with an enigmatic expression. "So, what were you doing?"

"I was... training," Lin replied, his voice faltering.

"Why?"

"I... I don't know," he confessed, his confusion palpable.

Shen Xiu wrapped her arms around him, drawing him close to her bosom. "How about loving me?"

Lin's eyes widened in astonishment. "What?"

"Love me," Shen Xiu repeated, her voice as soft as velvet. "Here, take this."

She proffered a pill to him, a glint of malice lurking in her eyes. "It's a body-strengthening pill. It'll help you in your training."

Lin swallowed the pill, and a warm sensation flooded his body, lulling him into a soporific state. Shen Xiu watched him as he drifted off to sleep, a sardonic smile playing on her lips.

"How much fun can I have before you break?" she mused to herself, her thoughts inscrutable.

....

As Lin Lingtian stirred from his slumber on the training ground, his gaze alighted upon the blanket that enshrouded him.

"Friends, eh?" he murmured, his voice thick with bitterness.

For he knew that Shen Xiu's overtures of friendship were but a mask for her insidious designs.

.....

(6 months later)

(Shen Xiu's POV)

Ah, Lin, my little plaything. It's been three months since I first showed him kindness, and now he's following me around like a loyal hound. I make him hit the training posts until his hands bleed, and I've even fired all the other servants and made him clean the entire mansion. All while claiming it's for his own good, of course. And when I beat him, I tell him it's for his training. He sings my praises like a canary and gazes at me with such adoration. It's amusing to see how much he loves me.

(Thud!)

Lin Lingtian collapsed onto the training ground, coughing up blood.

"My dear Lin, are you alright?" I asked, grinning.

"Yes, Xiu," he replied, gasping for breath.

"Lin," I said, dropping the affectionate suffix.

"Don't call me that," Lin replied, looking up at me with a shocked expression.

"When will your closed-door cultivation end?" I asked.

"I'll be finished in a few days," he replied.

'Why isn't he crying? Shouldn't he be breaking down in tears?'

"XIU'ER, I PROMISE YOU I WILL CULTIVATE HARD AND ASK FOR YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE IN THE FUTURE," Lin declared confidently.

I felt a surge of anger. "Why?" I demanded.

"Huh?" Lin replied, taken aback.

(Thud! Thud!)

My fists connected with his face, knocking him out.

"Why didn't you cry?" I raged. "How dare a mere toy not entertain me!"

[ Flash back end ]

.....

As Lin Lingtian drew a deep breath, his gaze settled upon his hand - a gnarled, twisted thing that bore witness to a lifetime of torment and ridicule. His thoughts drifted, unbidden, to the cruel taunts of Lin's childhood, the endless mockery that had left him a broken, battered husk of a man.

And yet, despite all this, Lin found himself inexorably drawn to her - the sister of the patriarch, a figurehead of the very family he had come to despise. It was a twisted irony, a sick joke played out by the fates.

"Foolishness," he muttered to himself, cursing the wretched state of his heart. " You must be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, to cling so tightly to the one who showed you kindness."

But as he turned to face her, he found himself staring into a pair of eyes that sparkled with an otherworldly light. Shen Xiu, the woman who had captured his heart, smiled at him with a serenity that defied explanation.

"Lin," she whispered, her voice like the gentle rustling of leaves. "Will you come with me to the sacred family?"

And at that moment, he knew without a doubt that he would follow her anywhere - even if it led him to his destruction.

[ Head Demon Wish: Listen and obey the commands of Shen Xiu ] [ Duration: ∞] ( - )

Lin Lingtian couldn't help but frown as he pushed the Minus button and removed the status.

' Yeah, right like I will follow the commands of some dead Stockholm Syndrome victim. Wait ....'

As Lin Lingtian looked at Shen Xiu with a calm expression, the air around them grew tense. "No," he said firmly, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife.

Shen Xiu, who had expected him to acquiesce to her demands, opened her eyes wide in shock. "Hahaha, Lin, you must be joking," she said, trying to mask her disappointment.

But Lin Lingtian wasn't laughing. "Xiu, I have a question for you," he said, his tone low and dangerous.

"What is it?" Shen Xiu asked, annoyance and anger creeping into her voice.

"Why did you play with my heart?" Lin Lingtian asked, his eyes narrowing.

Shen Xiu stumbled over her words, taken aback by the sudden accusation. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, her voice trembling slightly.

But Lin Lingtian wasn't buying it. The anger within him began to surge, and the War God Technique took hold of his soul, unleashing a powerful energy that shook the very foundations of his being. His soul force burst forth, radiating a cyan light that illuminated the area around them.

Streams of light overflowed in every direction, forming a pair of wings made of opaque black bones that unfurled behind Lin Lingtian.

"Soul forming!" Seeing this scene, Shen Xiu's face was full of shock.

Soul forming. This is caused by the ultimate pureness of soul force! Demon spiritists that could soul form are extremely rare and normally only can be done by gold-ranked genius demon spiritists. Within every ten gold rank demon spiritist, there might not even be one that could reach the realm of soul forming. However, once a demon spiritist gains the ability to soul form, his soul force would be extremely powerful. The future achievements are at least a black gold rank demon spiritist and above, there is even a possibility of reaching legend rank!

( Slash )

Lin Lingtian's Wing pierced through the wall behind Shen Xiu.

" I will ask again, Why did you play with my heart ?"

Shen Xiu looked at the Soul Wing and smiled warily.

" Lin ....What are you talking about? I have always loved you ."

' You, To think you had such high potential. I must make him think I love him. If he can join the sacred family then we would rise to the top of Glory City. And I will be the wife of a legend rank expert .'

Lin Lingtian's wing was a blur as it came near her neck and stopped just below her voice box.

[ Heart Demon Soul Contract is reacting to your actions ]

[ Pain: Unimaginable pain will engulf your body ] [ Duration: 1 hour ] (+ - )

Due to the burning pain, Lin Lingtian stopped and pushed the minus button to terminate the status.

Sweat dripped down Shen Xiu's face.

( Gulp )

She felt she had almost died.

Lin Lingtian frowned as his plan backfired. He wanted to push Shen Xiu to say that she played with his heart and this may have affected the Heart Demon Soul Contract but it backfired, he didn't know why but she was still claiming she loved him.

The wings on his back dissipated as he began walking out of the room.

" Wait, Lin ." Shen Xiu said as she threw an interspatial ring toward him.

Winking at him she said," That ring has multiple pills that would help you in your Cultivation, If you want more just ask me."

Walking out of the room towards the Holy Orchid Library he wanted to find out about the Artic Cold Disease out of curiosity, what did Glory City suggest was the cure for this ailment?

It didn't take him long to find the school library. It was a large and decorative three-story building with well-maintained bushes surrounding the exterior walls. Walking into the entrance, it was obvious this place housed quite a large collection of books, tomes, and scrolls. The layout was spacious with little alcoves walled off by tall bookcases. It's well-lit, and there's a soft smell of parchment in the air.

A roughly cleared throat draws my attention away from the view and to a middle-aged man standing behind a finely carved desk.

I decide to take the intuitive, "Excuse me sir, but could you please help me in finding a book about the Artic Cold Disease ?"

The middle-aged man indifferently looked at him and then grabbed a book from the shelves and handed it to him.

Lin Lingtian began reading the book

" The Artic Cold Disease ... Treatment of Artic Cold Disease is the Consumption of medicine made from combining Golden Striped Grass with Imperial Sky Grass for ten days.

Rest well and stop cultivating at night until completely cured.

Massages on bruised Areas by the Daoyin Technique ."

After reading about the Artic Cold Disease and the Daoyin Technique, he couldn't help but smile, this truly was a different world.

Grabbing a few more books on Alchemy, Basics of Inscription Array, Meridians, and Soul Force Lin Lingtian began to immerse himself in this Alien Like Word as each word he read and memorized left him more thirsty for knowledge.

....

[ Holy Orchid Institute: Central Gate ]

Walking outside he found multiple stalls outside of the Holy Orchid Institute, Lin Lingtian thought about what should he do.

The War God Technique was an overbearing technique but the most gain one could get from it was during times of battle.

The War God Technique was different as, unlike other techniques which absorbed soul force and causes the user to advance in the ranks while it allowed the user to absorb large amounts of soul force but advancing in ranks of cultivation only happened during the battle.

He had the [ War God Technique's chant ] status along with the [ Wood Yin Infusion ] which would logically cause him to become a 2 Star Bronze rank during his class but it didn't because he was not in battle. But in exchange for that his meridians are constantly being stressed out and his soul force is rising in quality, increasing the strength and quality of his foundation. While he was still a 1-star Bronze rank, the quality and strength of his soul force were equal to that of a 2 Star or even a 3-star bronze rank.

Walking through the stalls, Lin Lingtian used the [ Appraisal] on everything he saw.

Nothing had yet caught his eye.

The War God Technique also had the user form his core or his second heart before they achieve silver rank.

The core or second heart for him should be created using the blood of demon beasts with the yin-wood attribute.

The War God Technique: Army of the Underworld had the information on what demon beasts would be perfect for him cultivating a second heart or core.

The Snow Sakura Demon Beasts.

The Corpse Woodland Elder.

The Artic Yin Lotus Fairy.

...

Those were some of the demon beasts that were perfect for creating his second core which will form the base of his army.

The Second Heart or core is his connection to his army.

The War God Technique when he achieves Silver rank would allow him to battle the souls of demon beasts and other living things on the astral plane. He had to battle them and make them submit to him. With that, a connection will form between the souls that will form his army with his second heart.

The second heart will slowly form into his version of the demon spirit. Taking the talents and innate abilities of members of his army to form his version of the Demon Spirit, creating the most ideal Demon Spirit for him.

That was just the first ability granted by the War God Technique. He was definitely looking forward to uncovering all the other abilities.

Lin Lingtian looked at Nie Li as he thought,' So what is our resident time traveler doing ? '

According to the War God Technique's soul force manipulation, soul force filled his eardrums. His hearing began to enhance to a superhuman level.

[ Soul Force enhancing your hearing ]

[ Hearing Enhancement: 1000% increase in hearing and sound perception ] [ Duration: 1 hour ] ( - + )

Pushing the plus button until the duration became infinite.

Lin Lingtian stopped flowing soul force as his hearing was enhanced by the status.

"Du Ze, we'll go buy Black Pool Grass," Nie Li said.

"What are you planning to do?" Du Ze curiously asked.

Nie Li laughed mysteriously, "Black Pool Grass has a certain paralysis effect, but the efficiency is very low. It is generally used to smear on wounds to relieve some pain. As for Zoysia grass, it Is a very common weed so no one has found a use for them yet. However, if it's used with a fusing agent and Black Pool Grass, it can greatly strengthen the paralysis effect of the Black Pool Grass."

Du Ze was stunned for a moment and then

asked, "How strong is the paralysis effect?"

Nie Li laughed and said, "It doesn't have much effect on ordinary demon beasts. The effect is worse than a low-grade paralyzing agent. But did you know that the Horned Sheep never eats Zoysia Grass?"

"Horned Sheep?" repeated Du Ze and went silent for a moment. As if he vaguely guessed something, his eyes lit up, "Nie Li, would you happen to be an alchemist?"

"An alchemist?" Nie Li thought awhile and laughed, "I guess so."

Nie Li started mixing the grasses and fusing agents, getting a total of six full bottles of the drug.

Holy Orchid Institute Training Grounds

The training grounds were established by the Legend rank Demon Spiritualist Lord Ye Mo and the principal of the school, who was a Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualist. The training grounds were surrounded by towering walls. Every year, experts in Glory City would capture some low-level demon beasts and place them on the training grounds. Any Holy Orchid Institute student who is below Silver rank can enter the grounds. Students can hunt the demon beasts inside and obtain fur, demon crystals, and various other beast materials from them and dispose of them freely at their own choice. Some of the poorer students can hunt inside the training ground to help with their family's financial situation.

Nie Li's group of three hasn't even reached a 1-star Bronze rank, yet. So the place that they are going to is the training ground's safest area. There are only Horned Sheep in that area. Although Horned Sheep are very aggressive in nature, they are still herbivores. Therefore, their attacks would only cause serious injuries. So they can be considered safe.

Nie Li's group of three entered the training grounds after they had their identities verified by the guards at the entrance.

[ Training Grounds Apprenticeship Area ]

Within the sparse trees, there would be patches of grass fields with Horned Sheep slowly pacing them. Their eyes were red. Occasionally, they would prick up their ears to listen. Once an outsider enters their territory, they would mercilessly attack him.

Suddenly, an abnormal sound was heard. The Horned Sheep closest to Nie Li's group let out a growl and rushed toward the direction of the abnormal sound.

"That Nie Li, he actually told me to be the bait.

Simply outrageous!" Lu Piao looking at the

Horned Sheep that was charging toward him.

This scared the crap out of him, making him

stumble as he ran backward.

Meanwhile, Du Ze and Nie Li were hiding in

the bush. They were holding crossbows in

their hands.

"My goodness! This Horned Sheep is so scary!

Shoot, shoot it" Lu Piao yelled. When he saw

the Horned Sheep getting closer, he ran nonstop.

"This Lu Piao, didn't we agree to have him stay still and not move? The Horned Sheep would have surely fallen for the trap. However, once he ran, the sheep deviated from the trap's direction," Nie Li frowned. The trap is actually a small, two-finger pit and once the Horned sheep carelessly stepped into the trap, it would have definitely fractured its leg. Firing bolts at it, once that happened, would have caused the result to be much better.

Seeing Lu Piao run in a panic, Du Ze also got

nervous and continuously pulled the trigger at the sheep. *shu shu shu* Three crossbow bolts shot out from the crossbow.

That Horned Sheep is a demonized creature. it hasn't been injured so the reaction of the Horned Sheep is extremely fast. When it sensed the three bolts that were being shot in its direction, with its fast reflexes, it immediately made a few jumps and caused the three crossbow bolts to graze passed the sheep, hence, dodging the bolt.

"What? Missed ?! "

Lu Piao was perplexed as the Horned Sheep's horn closed in on him. Thinking that Nie Li and Du Ze actually made this kind of mistake; he almost burst into tears in his heart. He began to think that he made a mistake in making friends. If the sharp horn reaches him, it will instantly be able to make his *** flower.

When he saw the Horned Sheep dodge the crossbow bolts, and continued its charge at Lu Piao, made Du Ze's hands were covered in sweat. If he tried to load another bolt onto the crossbow, he would be too late. He could imagine the scene of Lu Piao's butt being stabbed by the Horned Sheep's horn in his head.

"Nie Li, what should we do…." Du Ze immediately went silent after speaking halfway. He was afraid to disturb Nie Li.

Nie Li half squatted. His left arm was straightened with the crossbow over his left arm. His right hand was clenching the trigger. His eyes were glued to the sight and the crossbow was so stable it was as though it was placed onto a holder.

Du Ze had an indescribable feeling. Nie Li had yet to fire a bolt, but Du Ze had a feeling that the bolt will surely hit the Horned Sheep. Nie Li, at this moment, was like a cheetah crouching in the bushes, waiting for his prey. He was releasing an awe-inspiring aura.

Nie Li pulled the trigger and a crossbow bolt was unleashed. The bolt that left turned into a silvery light and gracefully flew quickly. The angle that Nie Li targeted was in the blind spot of the Horned Sheep's sight.

"It hit!"

Seeing the bolt fly passed, Du Ze's heart was surprised. Nie Li gave him a weird feeling. It was as though he was a veteran shooter.

The Horned Sheep didn't manage to dodge in time.

Plop!

The bolt hit the back leg of the horned sheep.

Thud!

The horned sheep fell onto the ground wailing, landed in front of Lu Piao, and raised dust all around it.

Lu Piao was gasping for air. He was extremely nervous. When he saw the Horned Sheep wailing nonstop, couldn't help thinking, 'My god, that was too exciting! My goodness, my butt was spared.'

Lin Lingtian a few meters away behind the tree heard a cry of the Demon Horned Sheep.

Opening his eyes as he saw a Demon Horned Sheep charging at him.

A normal human from Earth would have panicked but Lin Lingtian was a practitioner of the War God Technique which gave him multiple benefits in the heat of battle.

[ War God Technique is circulating ]

[ War God Technique level 2 ]

Lin Lingtian didn't feel fear but excitement for the battle which quickly went away as he saw the Demon Horned Sheep charging at him in slow motion.

Lin Lingtian sighed as he kicked the Demon-horned Sheep charging at him like a soccer ball.

His kick the moment it touched the head of the beast met little to no resistance as the headless corpse of the Demon beast hit the ground beside him.

10 hours had gone by from when he got the War God Technique which theoretically who have accumulated 300 soul force points meaning due to the War God Technique, Lin Lingtian's power was equal to that of a 3-star bronze rank.

A purple aura erupted from Lin Lingtian's body.
