Beside the river.
“Don’t hesitate, just jump in and leave.” Lin Fan stepped on the river surface and dashed. The river water rolled and two long streaks appeared.
He utilised internal strength, like walking on water, he walked on the river surface.
But all of this was solely using internal strength.
Even a Grandmaster Expert would be able to walk on water. But as time got longer, their internal strength would run out and they wouldn’t be able to hold on.
This was why only by becoming a God Essence Realm Expert, could one use energy from the Heaven and Earth.
Elder Yunsheng and the others looked at one another and were helpless. They followed suit. No matter what was going to happen, it was best if they kept themselves alive.
The octopus monster didn’t follow maybe because it hated the water.
The octopus was furious that it lost its prey.
A furious scream spread from the depths and caused a bunch of birds to fly out. There were still some survivors there. When they heard that terrifying noise, they were all petrified.
They had escaped but were unable to leave Black Mountain. It was terrifying to not have a ship. Those damn captains, I will kill your whole family.
This was the true thoughts of all the survivors. They sent them here and said that they would wait for them to leave but they were all gone.
Also, that person who spread the rumors.
There was one sentence, that rumors stopped at the intelligent people.
After some time, Elder Han who was being dragged on the ocean surface by Lin Fan didn’t say anything. Who knew whether he was dead or alive but looking at him, he seemed dead.
He didn’t sense any feeling of internal strength or stamina drying out but it wasn’t the same case for Elder Yunsheng and the others.
Estimating, they had run for 7 hours.
Even if they were Grandmasters, they couldn’t support such consumption, It was too tiring.
Yunyou and Yunchen were the first to fall off.
They fell into the water.
They didn’t shout. At such a time, everyone was in the same situation, so why drag each other down? Dying in Nutao River was better than dying to the monster.
“Junior Brother.” Elder Yunsheng exclaimed. He could hold on for a while longer and he pulled his two Junior Brothers out.
“Senior Brother, we can’t anymore, don’t care about us.”
Elder Yunsheng scolded, “What nonsense. No matter what, as your Senior Brother, I won’t abandon you. We have spent so many years together, so why do you all care?”
Lin Fan turned his head. Elder Yunsheng too couldn’t hold on anymore. He tossed Elder Han to Elder Yunsheng, “You carry him, then I carry you. Two of you grab onto me.”
“Eh?” Elder Yunsheng looked towards Lin Fan in shock.
“What? Quickly, we are not too far away, we will arrive soon.” Lin Fan said. He expected that such a thing would happen, he just wanted to see how long they could last.
They lasted longer than he had expected.
“Young hero Lin, then you…” Elder Yunsheng was touched. They said that Danxia Island was the most righteous in the land but actually this kid was the most. Even they felt that they weren’t good enough.
“Stop wasting time, I am young. You are all so old, so you obviously can’t hold on for as long.” Lin Fan said.
Elder Yunsheng felt a chill in their hearts. They weren’t that old but why did it feel like this kid said that they were really, really old?
He had no choice.
Young hero Lin seemed so serious and it wasn’t like he was joking, so Elder Yunsheng said gratefully, “Young hero Lin, I am grateful.”
Lin Fan grabbed Yunyou and Yunchen and continued to run.
With the small support system, his strongest suit was his unlimited stamina and internal strength.
He felt that this was a very fair system.
It wasn’t too overpowered, it was just slightly abnormal.
“Young hero, don’t you feel tired?” Elder Yunsheng asked.
Lin Fan said calmly, “Of course, but how can I say that I am tired, moreover, I need to send you all to shore.”
He was so touched he wanted to cry.
He had never seen such a righteous young man.
After some time, the shore was right in front.
Lin Fan jumped and landed on the shore. He turned around and looked back. He couldn’t see Black Mountain anymore. Over 10 hours, that was something impossible for other people.
“I will return.” Lin Fan muttered. He wouldn’t let that monster off.
Even if it didn’t injure him, it did affect him mentally. He was so afraid. But the key was that, at the key moment, the monster provided him with a lot of rage points.
If his strength allowed him, he was willing to play with it.
“Young hero, rest quickly.” Elder Yunsheng helped Lin Fan up. He felt that he would be tired and needed rest. After all, he brought them all to shore and had run for so long, so he was definitely tired.
Elder Yunsheng was a caring person.
He was touched so much by Lin Fan that he nearly cried.
He wanted Grandmaster techniques, he wanted to give it to him many times. After all, he had helped them so much and he wanted to repay him.
However, he was fighting in his mind.
He was a Danxia Island elder and he couldn’t break the rules. However, he wanted to repay him. That placed him in a spot.
He wanted to return to Danxia Island to see the Sect Leader and beg to see if he could give some to him. Even if the hope was small, he wanted to try.
Elder Yunsheng’s warmth made Lin Fan laugh, “Elder Yunsheng, I am fine. Let’s take a look at the expert, I feel like his problem is serious.”
Puchi!
Elder Han spat out blood.
Who knew whether it was because his injuries were heavy or because he was provoked and felt like Lin Fan was mocking him?
“Elder Han, are you okay?” Yunsheng asked caringly. Although Danxia Island wasn’t close to Sword Palace, they did have connections.
Elder Han opened his eyes. It was dim and the injuries were unable to heal. He was stabbed and although blood and meat were moving like it was repairing, it was just too serious.
“Thank you for saving me, but my injuries are too heavy and my sword seed is destroyed.” Elder Han was dispirited, it felt like he could die at any moment.
“This…” Elder Yunsheng didn’t know what to say. Naturally, he didn’t want Elder Han to die, but he was too weak and didn’t know what to do.
“The Black Mountain monster is too strong, far above God Essence Realm. He pierced my body with one strike. If I am in Sword Palace, there might be a chance but now…” Elder Han shook his head and looked at Lin Fan, “Kid you are so young but so strong, in the future you will become an expert.”
“I cultivated for 60 years, my talent and comprehension are not good, so this is as far as I can go. I focus on the sword path, so for these things to leave with me is such a waste. For you to save me shows that you are good. Before I die, I will pass my cultivation to you, as for how much you can comprehend, it will depend on you.”
When he said this, True Essence exploded out from Elder Han’s body, forming a palm and grabbing Lin Fan’s head.
“Comprehend it, how much you can comprehend is up to you.”
Just as Lin Fan wanted to struggle, Elder Han’s voice spread into his ear.
Instantly, there were many images in this True Essence. The images were of sword techniques being practiced, which Elder Han understood from the sword.
Those images were really quick, there also seemed to be sounds from within.
“Basic sword technique: Fallen Dust Sword Technique.”
The images showed basic sword techniques. This was the first technique that Elder Han cultivated and it paved the way for him.
The images moved faster and faster.
Dragon Elephant Sword Technique
Heaven Shocking Sword Technique.
Ten Thousand Sword.
Great Samsara Sword Technique.
Lin Fan was thinking that he cultivated using the small support system, so it was useless for him to pass it to him.
But suddenly, his eyes constricted and he noticed that the situation wasn’t right.
The data on the small support system was changing.
The names of these swords appeared in the cultivation technique column and continued to jump.
Basic sword technique: Fallen Dust Sword Technique (Returning to True)
Dragon Elephant Sword Technique (Reach the peak)
Heaven Shocking Sword Technique (Returning to True)
Ten Thousand Sword (Reach the peak)
Great Samsara Sword Technique (Go to next level)
What was going on? The small support system recorded his sword technique cultivation?
Suddenly, Heart Cultivation appeared.
Sword Seed (Grade Eight)
What was terrifying was that his cultivation jumped.
Internal Strength: 400 (Initial Grandmaster)
It didn’t stop and continued.
Internal Strength: 410 (Middle Grandmaster)
Puchi!
Elder Han spat out blood, his body dried up, his hair turned white, and spread out death energy.
“Kid, I didn’t expect you to cultivate both internal and external cultivation. Before I die, let me remind you not to cultivate external cultivation, it is too difficult. If you want to step into God Essence Realm, it is too difficult.”
Elder Han coughed, his voice became weak. He raised his hand and passed his sword to Lin Fan.
“This is my sword, it followed me from the start. It is called Huiwu and now I pass it to you. If you meet a woman with six fingers, pass it to her and tell her that I was wrong to mock her looks.”
When he said this, Elder Han closed his eyes and he died.
To Elder Han, he passed his cultivation to someone because he felt that Lin Fan would be extremely strong in the future.
Why not give him some benefits and help Sword Palace form an ally?
However, to Elder Han what he regretted was that he couldn’t find that six fingered-woman. He wasn’t smart when he was young and mocked her for being a freak. Such that she left Sword Palace for 50 years and to date he hadn’t found her.
Lin Fan looked to him with a complicated expression. He sighed and said, “Elder Han, I respect you and I understand your words.”
Lin Fan wasn’t a fool and he knew why he did that.
Since he was about to die and had no chance of living, why not give help?
He had high hopes for his future.
He knew he would be a true expert, so he built a bridge for Sword Palace.
Lin Fan placed his palm on his shoulder and said from his heart, “Don’t worry, I remember Sword Palace.”
“Also, that girl, if I meet her, I will help you say it.”
“Haiz, Elder Han’s life was clean, his sword was so strong. Who knew that he would actually die in Black Mountain? What a waste, what a waste…” Elder Yunsheng said regretfully.
