Tianyuan Sect.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged, breathing in and out in a rhythm that seemed to pulse with tranquility and ease.

With the disciplined rise and fall of his chest, a type of vitality that only the Xuanming Sky could sense continuously penetrated his limbs and torso, simultaneously tempering his sinews, bones, and skin.

After a long while, Lin Fan stood up, his entire body crackling with the sound of popping joints.

"Tianyuan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a major sect, the inherited 'Guiyuan Heart Method' refines a breath of inner strength, while simultaneously tempering sinews, bones, and skin... As long as Qi Refinement is successful, one can quickly become a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist."

"I really made the right choice coming to Tianyuan Sect."

Lin Fan clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body and couldn't help but be filled with joy.

Then, he sighed deeply, "What a pity... Although I feel that this Internal Cultivation Method is absolutely perfect and completely matches the physique of people from my world, no matter how long I meditate in the real world, I just can't feel any progress... Is it because there is no elemental qi? No... after all, this is a game, since when did I start treating it as a real world?"

Lin Fan pondered silently, his expression gradually becoming vacant.

He walked out of the training room and saw a fragile figure in the garden, her eyes red-rimmed, seemingly crying over a plum blossom for who knows how long.

"Whimper... Fan brother, my dad... my dad he..."

Pu Feiling held a family letter, her eyes swollen and red, already in tears.

Lin Fan's lips moved, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

He naturally knew about the murder of Pu Dongyun through the forums a long time ago, but he didn't know how to speak to his junior sister.

Moreover, Jiang Shang had also informed him that he should be careful not to let Pu Feiling's resentment towards her father's death extend to spoiling the reputation of Tianyuan Sect.

And, if 'Blood Hand Man Slaughter' escapes in the future, he would need to hunt him down.

Initially, Lin Fan was not very inclined to take this mission, but now, looking at his junior sister crying like rain on pear blossoms, he changed his mind!

That 'Blood Hand Man Slaughter', he would make him retire from the game!

"Feiling..."

Just as Lin Fan was about to say something, he suddenly saw the corner of a garment falling into the courtyard, and a middle-aged female warrior appeared before him.

She was dressed in a tight outfit, carrying a long sword on her back, dressed as a heroine - it was Pu Feiling's master - the 'Iron Hand Immortal' Tu Qianqiu!

A Fourth Grade Martial Artist, a powerhouse in the 'Under Heaven' realm!

The strongest member of Tianyuan Sect, of course, was the Sect Master, a Third-Grade Martial Artist, whose realm name was unknown.

Next were several Fourth Grade Under Heaven Realm Martial Artist elders.

Among them, Iron Hand Immortal Tu Qianqiu was known for her ruthless and iron-handed tactics and was regarded as the most protective.

It could be said to be a combination of luck and circumstance that Pu Feiling was able to become a disciple of the Iron Hand Immortal, as her physique was particularly suitable for the martial arts of this lineage.

"Greetings to Elder Tu!"

Lin Fan did not have this privilege as his master was only a common Fifth Grade Martial Artist and protector, so he immediately bowed in respect.

"Disciple, don't act like a girl, crying and crying; can your tears kill your enemy?"

Tu Qianqiu ordered sharply, "Clean yourself up and come with your master to Three Elements City. We will slaughter your enemy's family to pay tribute to your father's spirit in heaven!"

Her fierce gaze swept away and then turned towards Lin Fan, "You are Lin Fan, that martial arts academy disciple?"

"Yes!"

Lin Fan suddenly felt as if he couldn't breathe, a great fear arising within him, as though all his secrets were exposed under the sunlight.

He knew it was the pressure from the vast difference in their realms; he quickly focused his mind to reply.

"One day a teacher, a lifetime a father. Pu Dongyun taught you, so he is your master too. You will come with me for revenge."

Tu Qianqiu made her decision there and then.

"Of course!"

Lin Fan certainly dared not refuse, otherwise, the Iron Hand Immortal standing in front of him would most likely kill him with a single slap, and his cheap master would definitely not dare to say another word!

At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, 'This Tu Qianqiu doesn't even know I am from Woniuzhai, an abnormality as well? Although it's difficult for players to be distinguished from ordinary people, Pu Feiling must certainly be aware...'

With this thought, he glanced at Pu Feiling and noticed the girl was also looking at him, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of worried concern.

'Is she... is she concealing my identity, trying to protect me?'

Lin Fan didn't know why, but he felt somewhat uneasy and sheepishly lowered his head...

...

Despite his shame, Lin Fan still remembered who paid his salary.

He found an opportunity to discreetly log off and sent the message to Jiang Shang.

Then, the news of the impending arrival of a great boss spread instantly throughout the entire player community.

Upon hearing that a Fourth Grade Martial Artist from the Under Heaven Realm was coming, all of the players seemed very calm, even... joyful?

'Star's faint light' immediately stated that he and his Firearms Team were already starving for action.

Players from the two major guilds rubbed their hands in eagerness, preparing to compete for the glory of being the first to kill the world boss.

The strategy used by Shaobaitou to kill the Seventh-Grade Martial Artist last time was widely adopted, giving rise to a suicide charge squad that could only be formed by players.

Some true elite players also expressed their eagerness to duel with a real Martial Artist master in the game, even if they were willing to be killed in the process.

Many players suggested setting the battlefield near Newbie Valley.

That way, even if they were killed, they could immediately return via the revival point.

How about a Fourth Grade Martial Artist?

Against the immortal players, he would still be worn down to death!

Forget about Fourth Grade Martial Artists, as long as you dare to show your health bar, even if you're a god, players will show you the might of their blades!

Inside Woniuzhai.

Zhong Shenxiu casually strolled around and suddenly sighed.

He entered the original meeting hall and heard Jiang Shang's voice, "No good! We absolutely cannot expose Newbie Valley! We only have three hundred players, with Martial Arts at most at the Seventh Grade. If we get cornered at the revival point, how can we continue to play?"

"Shaobaitou, you're too conservative. It's just a game. If such a thing happens, it means there's a major bug, and the developers will definitely have our backs."

'Let's rush to our deaths if we can't die,' loudly declared one player, and somehow, this reason convinced many other players to nod in agreement, feeling it made sense.

Zhong Shenxiu listened and his face suddenly darkened, ready to teach these Er Ha players a lesson.

'It seems I've been too lenient with them.'

'This game... is still not discouraging enough, the third patch is already sharpening its knives...'

...

"Yo, Big Shot, you're here too." Luo Xiaoyi saw Zhong Shenxiu and immediately waved happily.

"It's 'Lord Shenxiu'!"

"It's said that the top player among the players, skilled in finding hidden quests! I even suspect he's moonlighting as a 'Taoist'!"

"I think, he's a GM! Or a relative of someone in the development team!"

"Shouldn't the number one be 'Blood Hand Man Slaughter'? Although he has been ganged up on pretty badly..."

...

Zhong Shenxiu had gained some fame among the players by now.

As for his arrival, both Jiang Shang and Huang Tianyao were very welcoming.

After all, they also didn't really know how powerful a Fourth Grade Martial Artist was. However, among those present, 'Lord Shenxiu' was the one most likely to catch up to the opponent in Martial Arts.
