The outer disciple lay twitching on the ground.
Blood leaked from his mouth, eyes wide with disbelief.
Lin Yuan stood calmly, looking down at him.
In his memories, this man was named Zhao Hu—a lapdog of an outer elder's nephew. He had extorted Lin Yuan for months.
Now?
Trash.
[Enemy severely injured.]
[Kill to obtain maximum reward.]
Lin Yuan felt no hesitation.
In the cultivation world, mercy was stupidity.
He lifted his foot and stepped down.
Crack.
Zhao Hu's chest collapsed inward.
The body went still.
[Kill confirmed.]
[Reward: 30,000 Cultivation Points]
[Reward: Minor Fate Fragment]
A warm current surged through Lin Yuan's body.
His cultivation surged again.
Body Tempering: Ninth Layer → Peak
He exhaled slowly.
"So this is killing for power…"
He searched Zhao Hu's corpse and found a cloth pouch.
Inside—three low-grade spirit stones and a jade token.
"Contribution points."
A cold smile formed.
"These will do."
Outside, footsteps echoed.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Someone was coming.
