Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 99 – Where did you learn your boxing skills?

Although carrying someone would reduce flight speed and increase mana consumption, it was still better than running on foot.

Moreover, with two peaks pressing against his back, Lin Jichen found it hard to concentrate, causing his flight path to deviate slightly...

After five minutes, Lin Jichen found Demon Perch Lake.

After they landed, Ren Lan took out a prepared fishing rod and started fishing by the lake.

After half an hour without a single bite, Ren Lan's patience was wearing thin.

"It's hooked! It's hooked! Little Lin!"

Seeing the float move in the water, Ren Lan shouted excitedly.

Lin Jichen, lying leisurely on a large rock nearby and basking in the sun, said, "If it's hooked, just reel it in."

Ren Lan happily reeled in the line. Impatient as always, she didn't wait for the fish to tire out but directly dragged it ashore, playing tug-of-war with it.

In the end, her strength prevailed, and she pulled up a Red Carp.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be this easy. Little Lin, if I'd known, I wouldn't have called you," Ren Lan said proudly.

At that moment, strange blue creatures emerged from the bushes on both sides of Demon Perch Lake.

These creatures had webbed hands and feet, blue scales all over their bodies, eyes on top of their heads, no noses, and mouths like catfish.

These were the river demons of Demon Perch Lake, very fond of eating Red Carp. However, they couldn't swim or fish like humans.

They could only choose to rob.

Seeing the Red Carp in Ren Lan's hand, they showed greedy expressions and made hissing sounds as if communicating.

Not that anyone could understand them.

Then, the river demons rushed toward Ren Lan, ready to snatch the fish.

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys want to die? Get lost!"

There was no way Ren Lan would hand over the fish. She immediately threw away the fishing rod and assumed a fighting stance.

Unfortunately, the river demons didn't take her seriously, focusing solely on the Red Carp at her feet.

"Damn it, you asked for it!"

Ren Lan couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to attack, moving swiftly and using both fists and feet.

With three pieces of Spirit Grade equipment on her, Ren Lan's attributes had significantly increased.

She killed a river demon at the Initial stage of Qi Refining with just a few punches and kicks.

Then she went after another one.

Punches and kicks flew as Ren Lan moved effortlessly among the river demons.

Even when facing river demons at the Middle stage of Qi Refining, she showed no fear, seizing the right moment to strike with a punch.

"Explosive Punch!"

"Fire Punch!"

"Piercing Punch!"

"Now taste my self-created Lady Punch!"

Bang, bang, bang...

Surrounded by river demons, Ren Lan's punches rained down like a storm, showing no signs of fear. Instead, the river demons fell one by one.

Watching the scene from the rock, Lin Jichen was amazed.

Ren Lan's combat talent... was incredible!

The timing of her punches, her movement technique, and her ability to dodge attacks were not something that could be improved with equipment and cultivation alone.

It was entirely due to her innate talent.

Ren Lan's talent made Lin Jichen feel a bit ashamed.

If he hadn't been reborn, and if Ren Lan had entered this game at the same time as him in his previous life, her achievements might have surpassed his.

Moreover, body cultivation seemed to suit Ren Lan perfectly. Every punch she threw was full of flair, exuding a violent beauty that was pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Frenzy, where did you learn that punching technique?"

Lin Jichen couldn't help but ask from the rock.

"Beijing Normal University!"

Ren Lan replied without turning her head, delivering another punch to kill a river demon.

However, there were too many river demons. Despite killing so many, there were still plenty left, as if they were endless.

"Little Lin, stop just watching and come help!"

Ren Lan had no choice but to ask Lin Jichen for help. Her health was down to a third, and she couldn't handle so many enemies alone.

Hearing her plea, Lin Jichen decided to stop watching.

He got off the rock and summoned Panda Xiong.

"Panda Xiong, your meal is here, get to it."

Hearing its master's command, Panda Xiong immediately attacked the river demons, swatting them down with its paws.

The river demons were like tofu in front of it.

Roar!

Thunder Roar!

Panda Xiong's roar scared the river demons, triggering a fear effect.

They retreated in panic.

Soon, the river demons gave up on the delicious Red Carp and scattered.

"Wow! Little Lin, you even have a pet? And it's a panda! I'm so jealous! I want one too!"

Ren Lan looked at Lin Jichen's panda with envy, especially since Panda Xiong was so adorable, making it very popular with girls.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a national treasure in the future.

"If we come across another one, I'll help you get one," Lin Jichen said.

"Yes, having a panda as a pet would be so cool."

Ren Lan was full of envy, looking forward to the day she could have her own panda pet.

With the river demons driven away, Ren Lan successfully captured the Red Carp.

"Haha, let's see how that old man can trouble me now. I've completed the task."

Lin Jichen urged, "Then hurry up and turn in the task. Come on, I'll take you to the teleportation array."

Ren Lan skillfully climbed onto Lin Jichen's back again.

"I can actually walk back myself."

"Walking back won't be as fast. The sooner you turn in the task and enter the Inner Temple, the better. No need to drag it out," Lin Jichen said righteously.

It was definitely not because he wanted to experience the feeling of 'peaks pressing against his back' again. Definitely not.

They returned to the teleportation array in Zhuri City.

"Little Lin, are you leaving already?" Ren Lan was reluctant, as having the number one expert of Tale of Immortal accompany her was too enjoyable.

She hadn't had enough of it yet.

"Yes, hurry up and turn in the task. There are many benefits to joining the Inner Temple. You'll be laughing in your sleep," Lin Jichen said.

"Alright, I'll go back first. By the way, there's still three hours until dawn. I'm going for a run. Are you coming?" Ren Lan asked.

"Sure," Lin Jichen nodded. "You can train me outside the game, and I'll train you inside the game."

Ren Lan laughed, "OK, outside the game, I train you. Inside the game, you train me."

Lin Jichen felt something was off with her words, as if there was an extra word that made it redundant. It would be better without it.

After speaking, Ren Lan turned to leave.

She stood on the teleportation array and realized she had no money...

"Little Lin, give me some travel expenses. I'm out of Spirit Stones."

Lin Jichen remembered he had forgotten to give her money.

He turned around and transferred five thousand Spirit Stones to Ren Lan.

He had less than seven thousand Spirit Stones left in his account, and he had collected them from the Secret Realm before returning to the pharmacy.

"Wow, that's too much. I don't need that many."

"Take it. There are many places where you'll need Spirit Stones. If you run out, it'll be troublesome for me to come and give you more," Lin Jichen said casually.

Hearing this, Ren Lan didn't refuse anymore and happily took the Spirit Stones and left.

After Ren Lan left, Lin Jichen also returned to Mu Xian Province.

As soon as he got back, he received good news from Ren Lan: she had successfully been promoted to an Inner Temple disciple!
