Chapter 16: Yujin's Fortuous Encounter!
Inside the mansion,
Ashen sighed as he fell on the bed before muttering in a low voice: "Let's check out my villain Points!"
"Status Window!"

Looking at the window, Ashen murmured, placing his finger on his chin: "20,000 Points... hmm... Should I use them or save them for later use?"
Hearing his murmur, System, as usual, responded:
[Ding, Host, This Mighty System suggests you to visit the Sect's Cultivation library to learn some sect skills. Once you choose a skill, The system can help you master it with Villain points.]
Ashen nodded as he agreed: "Alright!"
The reason behind learning more skills despite having five high-level ones was simple.
Once a person joined a sect, he or she had to learn the skills from their respective sects. It signified their roots and status, making them feel more attached to the sect.
Ashen was a new cultivator in everyone's eyes with no skills learned whatsoever, therefore, he had to hide his previously learned skills from everyone, only using them while he was alone.
Also, These skills were his trump card and he would like to hide it from all.
Right now, he planned to pick some low-level skills to fight as a sect disciple.
He went to the bathroom, taking a bath before dressing up in the sect's uniform. He grabbed his disciple token before exiting his house, leaving for the Sect's Skill Pavillion.

Meanwhile, Spirit Beasts Thicket, outer layer,
Spirit Beast Thicket was the name of the forest covering the Phoenix Feather Sect. It contained three layers, outer, middle and inner layers.
The outer layer was the one which was near Phoenix Feather Sect. Only beasts upto the Body Transformation realm roamed in this layer.
The middle layer consisted of beasts from Nascent soul realm to the origin realm.
While the inner layer had beasts of Core Formation and King realm.
Yujin was fighting a spirit beast of the Body transformation realm right now.
This was a crimson wolf spirit beast, twice the size of a normal wolf with sharp claws and red fur. They could attack using fire and were dangerous for normal Body Transformation realm experts.
Yujin and the crimson wolf had deep wounds on their bodies, both breathing heavily, gasping for air while staring each other right in the eye.
Yujin, breathing heavily, muttered: "Ha..ha.. Why did I have to come across a crimson wolf? Why is my luck so bad? First, that Ashen entered the sect and now, I am facing this dangerous beast. I have to finish this fast before any other beast senses blood and come here looking for prey"
Yujin had come to this forest for a mission he received from the sect. After leaving Ashen's mansion, his mood was bad, hence, he decided to finish this mission to lighten up his mood and body.
His mission was to gather some Twin spirit lotus from the outer layer of the spirit beast thicket.
After searching for a while, He came across this crimson wolf that attacked him out of nowhere.
He engaged in a fight with it, resulting in his present state.
They stared at each other before pouncing at one another at the same time.
Han Yujin summoned his spirit's power into his fist as he shouted: "Phoenix Origin Fist!"
He punched as his fist got enveloped in fire, flames gushing out of his fist as if it was a flamethrower.
The crimson wolf used his claws to attack which were also enveloped in fire.
Boom!
An explosion resounded as the punch and the claw collided, both the attackers were thrown back by the force generated due to this collision.
*Cling*
The sharp claws of the crimson wolf broke as it whimpered in shock.
A smile crept up on Yujin's countenance as he saw this.
However, Crimson Wolf, instead of attacking, turned around before beginning to escape for his life.
Han Yujin's eyes widened before he shouted: "Stop! Where do you think you are going? You damn beast!"
Yujin chased after it as he employed his sect's movement art, Flame Sprint.
Flames appeared beneath his legs, exploding as he took a step, pushing him forward and increasing his speed.
He chased after the beast for a while and just as he was about to catch up to the wolf, the ground beneath his feet disappeared as a hole appeared in place of ground, engulfing him whole.
"AAAAaaaaaaaaaa!" He screamed in shock as he slid on the descending slope with darkness filling the whole place.
Thud!
His scream didn't last for long as he landed on the ground, falling with a thud.
"Argh" He groaned in pain as he rubbed his butt after getting up.
He looked around, however, couldn't see a thing due to the darkness.
However, he didn't have to wait long as candles lit up around the room, illuminating the room.
It was a small room with a chest at the end of the room.
A skeleton lay on the side of this chest.
"aaaaaa!" Yujin screamed due to shock as his eyes fell on the skeleton before sighing in relief.
Next, his gaze fell on the chest, staring at it, he began contemplating with a conflicted expression, muttering in a low voice: "Grandpa warned me to not touch unknown things, should I open this chest or not?"
However, as his low voice echoed in the room, an old voice replied: "Open It!"
"W-Who?" Yujin asked, Shouting as he turned his head here and there in search for the source of this voice.
"Stop looking around boy, I am here!" The old Voice once again reached Yujin's ears as he fixed his gaze on the skeleton lying beside the chest.
Slowly, an old man with a white beard and white clothes appeared with a translucent body.
He assessed Yujin up and down before exclaiming in joy: "Wonderful child! You are really talented!"
Yujin, however, wasn't in the mood to receive compliments as he questioned, pointing at the old man: "W-Who are You?"
