Cultivation Pet Shop

After he had broken free of the array around him, Lin Fan immediately turned to the other three assassins.

Based on how they were positioned, it was clear that they were planning to escape this place, but how could Lin Fan let them escape that easily?

He transformed his sword into three daggers that he threw out at the three of them.

Even if splitting the Iron Eater Bone Artifact into three meant that he was cutting its power in three as well, Lin Fan made up for that by injecting his own laws and powers into it.

But what caught Lin Fan off guard was when he tried using the golden energy of the golden suns in his dantian.

The moment that he drew out that power, he felt overwhelmed by how intense it was. It had become countless times stronger compared to before, reaching a point where it was almost hard for him to control.

Still, Lin Fan was able to control it in the end and injected it into the Iron Eater Bone Artifact.

When he did, the other laws that he had also infused into the daggers started avoiding this golden energy. It was almost as if they were subservient to this golden energy and were making way for it.

It was hard for Lin Fan not to notice this, but he chose to ignore it temporarily as he focused on the three assassins.

The daggers accurately flew at the assassins, however since they were all experts, they naturally sensed the daggers coming at them.

The assassins all turned and pulled out their weapons to block the dagger that was coming at them. The two sides clashed and it seemed like they were going to block the daggers, but then there was a golden burst of light that appeared.

The daggers covered in the golden energy cut right through their weapons and stabbed right into their bodies.

With their instincts, the assassins twisted their bodies to avoid a fatal blow. Then adding in the fact that Lin Fan didn't want to deal a fatal blow, so he avoided any fatal areas, the assassins were able to avoid being heavily injured by the daggers.

But after the daggers had stabbed the assassins, there was a sudden burst of golden light that appeared.

The assassins felt a powerful energy flow through them and this energy was clearly not friendly as it started raging in their bodies. They quickly released their own life energy inside of their own bodies just to block this energy that had invaded them.

They were able to block the energy in the end, but that didn't mean that they were able to escape unfazed.

All three of the assassins had received heavy internal injuries from the clash of energy that had happened inside of their bodies, causing them to collapse onto the ground unconscious.

Even as they collapsed, they still couldn't understand what had just happened. After all, the golden energy that Lin Fan used was only visible to people who had it, so the three assassins had no idea what had happened other than the powerful energy rushing into their bodies.

But it was different for Lin Fan who could see everything that happened.

He watched as the golden energy rushed into the bodies of the assassins, showing a strength that he had never seen before.

Though even without this, he could tell that something was off because of how hard it was for him to control the golden energy that came from the golden sun in his dantian. It was like opening a dam that suddenly caused a flood of this golden energy to spill out and of course, a flood was much harder to control than a steady stream.

However, this wasn't all bad news.

There was no doubt that he was much stronger compared to before with this increase in the power of his golden energy. The only thing he had to do now was slowly find a way to control it.

Once the assassins had been knocked out, the larger array that had formed dissipated and the ones that released this array revealed themselves.

Naturally the ones that had formed this array were on Lin Fan's side since they had just saved him and it wasn't a surprise that they were Lin Fan's pets.

As soon as he had noticed that he had been surrounded, Lin Fan had released his pets around him so that they could act at any moment.

Perhaps they might not have been able to move unnoticed if it was before, but after taking this trial, Lin Fan's understanding of his laws had become much better. This allowed him to easily cover his pets in laws that allowed them to sneak around the assassins.

The main thing was that while he had been in the trial's Illusion Space, he had been given the opportunity to touch higher grade laws.

Even if he didn't fully grasp it since they were laws that were only lent to him through his pets, as well as laws that were simulated since it was just an Illusion Space, it still gave him plenty of experience with controlling those laws at a level that was far beyond his current level. This gave him plenty of experience to learn how to control his own laws now that he was back in his own body.

Of course, that didn't just apply to the laws that he currently had…

When he had been in that Illusion Realm as Xia Yu, he had tamed millions of different pets.

While they weren't all in the Ruler Realm like his strongest pets, many of them were still in the realm that was above the Soul Realm. The amount of laws that he had had at his disposal was innumerable.

Now that he was back in his own body, his understanding of laws didn't just apply to the laws that he had already had, but rather he had understandings of laws that he didn't currently possess.

With the cultivation technique that he had obtained, as long as he found pets that had the laws that he lacked, with a mix of both the cultivation technique and absorption power, he could make any law his.

The one downside was that focusing on too many laws would make it hard for him to progress since each law required more life energy for him to break through. So the more laws that he grasped, the harder it would be for him to break through.

But that didn't matter since he had his new cultivation technique.

Each pet that he tamed would help him increase his cultivation, so he would use numbers to help himself increase his cultivation.

After his pets appeared, Lin Fan had them guard the surroundings while he started searching through bodies of the assassins.

They were all unconscious now and Lin Fan would take this time to make sure that they wouldn't have anything that they could use to escape. After all, he still had questions that he needed answers to, so he would still have to wake them up and question them.

Once he finished stripping them, he tied them up and laid them out on the ground before having Xiao Bai conjure some water that he threw in their faces.

As soon as the water splashed on their faces, the five assassins all woke up.

Their first instincts were naturally to reach for their weapons since they remembered what happened, but since Lin Fan had tied them up, they couldn't move at all.

Once they realized that they were being bound, they immediately started looking around themselves to determine what the situation was. Of course, being bound as they were, they couldn't really see much other than what was in front of them.

However, none of that mattered since the moment they saw Lin Fan, they immediately narrowed their eyes and focused on him.

It didn't take them much to figure out what was happening, so they focused their attention on Lin Fan, trying to find out what he wanted with them.

Lin Fan had been waiting for this, so once he saw that they were all looking at him, he opened his mouth to speak. It was just too bad that before he was able to say a thing, all five of them suddenly spat out mouthfuls of blood.

None of them even had a chance to react before all five of them had their eyes roll back in their sockets.

Lin Fan knew that something was off, so he immediately leaned down to take their pulses, but he found that all five of them were dead.

He immediately knitted his brows as he started looking over them to see what caused their deaths, but there was nothing unusual about their bodies. Even when he used his spiritual senses to search inside of their bodies, he wasn't able to find anything at all.

Lin Fan knitted his brows even deeper as he fell into deep thought, but the surprises didn't stop there.

"Ding, a new mission has been released."

"Protect the members of the Hunters Organization, the Myriad Sword Hall, and the Alchemist King Hall from the dangers of this Ancient Era Ruins. Each member that is lost will affect the final reward, so please strive to save as many people as possible."

"Reward: Access to the Secret Shop (7 Days), hidden rewards based on how many people are saved."

"Failure conditions: All members of the Hunters Organization, the Myriad Sword Hall, and the Alchemist King Hall other than the host dies."

Lin Fan couldn't help being pulled out of his thoughts to fall into deeper shock.

After all this time, the system was finally releasing another mission…
