Invincible Level Up Chapter 54: Deceptive System

Night, in the pitch dark cave .

Under the night sky, roars of monsters could be heard from time to time, making the night feel unsafe .

Hei Yan squatted at the mouth of the cave, looking around alertly . From the time he entered the inner regions of Kunlun mountain range, never had he relaxed his mind . He kept paying attention to the movements around .

Kunlun mountain range is ranked to be dangerous . One could meet with danger at any point in time, and a moment of carelessness may lead to one’s life not in his own hands anymore .

Qin Tian closed his eyes, wanting to sleep and rest, but was unable to fall asleep . Both his eyes opened and he walked towards the mouth of the cave, “Big brother Hei, go and rest, I’ll take over . ”

Hei Yan laughed slightly but did not move from where he was . He looked at Qin Tian and asked, “Can’t sleep?”

Qin Tian sat down and leaned against the other wall of the cave and looked at the night sky . After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to ask, “Brother, are you leaving?”

Hei Yan was shocked . He looked at Qin Tian, then at the outside, before replying, “Martial cultivation is never ending, I’ve not broken through for a long time . Next year, I’ll join the Flowing Clouds Sect to seek a higher martial realm . ”

“Flowing Clouds Sect?”

Qin Tian was slightly startled . His memories had some understanding towards the big sects in the continent, and the Flowing Clouds Sect is one of Tianyuan continent’s famous big sect . It has disciples numbering more than ten thousand, with countless of experts . Every year, it’s door would be opened to accept talented disciples, and Hei Yan wants to join though he is a spirit refining cultivator . Joining would not be hard, but being valued would be a little harder .

As compared to the Flowing Cloud Sect, Cang Tianji’s Tianji sect was the same . Since the compet.i.tions to join small clans were already so intense, the compet.i.tion to join big sects could be imagined . One needs to know that to join a big sect, one must have a strong talent .

Qin Tian had thought about joining Tianji sect, but with his current cultivation, he did not even have the qualifications, not to mention about being valued .

He wanted to join Tianji sect to complete his SSS task, to kill Long Xiaotian and s.n.a.t.c.h the position of the patriarch . Then he would be able to obtain all the treasures in Cang Tianji’s ring . Every time he took out something from the ring, his heart would feel ached . So many abilities, Dans, which could shake Qinghe city, yet none could be taken out, making him feel uncomfortable .

Joining other sects was something Qin Tian had never thought about before .

However, he kept what Hei Yan said in his mind . Martial cultivation is never ending, even if one reached the absolute realm and shatter the void, becoming a divine being, there is still no end to it .

The two of them were in silence and not long after, the night became silent .

The next morning .

A new round of hunting began . Hei Yan selected those monsters which Qin Tian had never met before, explaining about it, a.n.a.lyzed, showing its weakness, and killing it in a move . Qin Tian engraved them into his memory .

After a month, the total number of monsters killed were not less than five hundred, and all the monsters were basically played to death by Hei Yan .

In that month, they were fortunate enough to not meet any rank five monsters which had condensed a core .

In the following month, Hei Yan did not kill by himself anymore, but let Qin Tian practice, while guiding him by the side .

Every monster in Kunlun mountain range’s inner regions had gone through many fights . Those rank four monsters alive had gone through hundreds of fights, with the number of scars uncountable . Against Qin Tian who had not much battle experience, Qin Tian was already facing a peril after a few exchange of blows .

In one morning, he had only killed one rank four monster, and his body already had many injuries . Fortunately, they weren’t life-threatening . Luckily the number of Dans brought were a lot . After consuming some, all would be alright .

Now, even if Qin Tian was overwhelmed by a monster, Hei Yan would not move . This was something Qin Tian had to experience, in the future when he was alone, such a thing would happen frequently, and he needs to learn how to face it .

Hei Yan’s intentions, Qin Tian naturally understood .

And thus, even if he encountered any situation where his life was on the line, he did not call for help .

On the second month, the amount of time required for Qin Tian to kill a monster was shortened by half and the number of injuries he suffered became lesser . Seeing so, Hei Yan felt happy for Qin Tian .

Qin Tian’s progress in these few months made him surprised; thinking of Qin Tian’s natural born talent, he predicted that Qin Tian might one day become a power leader to attain the absolute realm and becoming a being that would greatly affect the world .

Other than hunting monster, Qin Tian also continued to collect spirit gra.s.s .

Alchemy is a must to practice . Though the core would replenish his Qigong, it is still a valuable item; the use of the core would only be his last resort .

He had already experienced the terrifying power of a rank five monster, and to obtain a core from another monster; it would be just as difficult as ascending the heavens .

With the abundance of low-grade spirit gra.s.s in Kunlun Mountain Range, there was no need to worry about having not enough gra.s.s to level up his alchemy skill . There were no shortcuts that he could take but only to continue practicing and increasing his proficiency . That way, he would be able to create higher grade Dans . As for some of the high-grade spirit gra.s.s, Qin Tian kept them for future use to create high-grade Dans once his success in creating Dans increased .

The days slipped by one after another, and Qin Tian gradually became stronger .

Hei Yan’s previously grim face now hung a satisfactory smile .

Half a year had pa.s.sed and for Qin Tian to kill a rank four monster is a piece of cake; in a day, hundreds of monsters died by his hands and seldom did he receive any injuries . As a result, the rate of him ranking up increased . In half a year, he had managed to reach rank nine spirit formation and was one step away from breaking through to the spirit gathering realm .

But in these few days, Qin Tian realized that the amount of experience he gained reduced drastically; he had been in spirit formation rank nine for more than a month already, and with the acc.u.mulated experience he gained, he should have been able to rank up quickly .

But with the sudden reduction in experience gained, he could not understand the cause behind it .

“Don’t tell me it’s because the rank four monster were not able to satisfy my experience bar?”

“Rubbis.h.!.+ Pēi, pēi, pēi……”

Qin Tian felt those words he just said were very awkward . He ‘pēi’ a few more times and opened the system . Looking at the already full experience bar, he found it puzzling as to why he was not able to rank up . Where did it go wrong? Did the system increase the difficulty for me to rank up?

There was no reason for it to do so; normal at the beginning and change right before he could rank up . Is the system playing with me?

That can’t be right…

After reasoning for half a day, he still could not figure out what went wrong .

But, thinking back to when he was leveling inside the Valley of Wolves, his heart was overwhelmed with shock and started cursing . “Rubbis.h.!.+ Don’t tell me you want me to kill a rank five monster?”

At that time when he broke through to spirit formation inside the Valley of Wolves, he had also encountered a similar situation . But because of their overwhelming numbers, he had no time to think and kept on killing . Now that he thought of it, at that time when he broke through was because he killed the leader of the green tooth wolf .

And now it seemed that for him to break through to the spirit gathering realm, he would need to kill a rank five monster . Otherwise, there would be no way for him to break through to the spirit gathering realm .

Qin Tian was in a daze; as if his soul had left to greet the eighteen generations of ancestors . Why did the system have to make it so troublesome to break through? Ranking up relies on the acc.u.mulation of experience gained; and now upon reaching a critical moment, it wanted him to kill a monster that is far above his level . “Isn’t it just throwing me into the fire pit?”

Even after complaining for a whole morning, the system did not respond .

At last, it was made clear that the system was just a program . To have it speak its own mind is impossible .

“A rank five monster… rank five monster…”

Recalling the terrifying strength of the Violent Gorilla, he shuddered . “F***, I’ll just give it my all . ”
