Chapter 76 - 76: Mother Tiger
As Lin Fan sat there cultivating, Angela and Zi Ling couldn't help staring at him.
They had felt it earlier during the battle, Lin Fan had awakened the power of his physique from the pressure the King Beast put on him.
Angela couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with curiosity, just what was his background that he had all these things? A God Realm master and this strange physique, it really defied all expectations of someone from a lower realm.
As for Zi Ling, she looked at Lin Fan with a deep look.
What she had seen had confirmed all her doubts and now she had to plan her next moves…
In the talk with Angela earlier, she had told her a few things about her and she had ensured Angela that she meant no ill will towards Lin Fan.
At first Angela didn't believe it, but eventually she did since her intuition told her that she wasn't lying and generally her intuition was right. Like when she decided to follow Lin Fan.
After a while, Lin Fan finally finished cultivating and he erupted with life energy, but this time his life energy was a strong gold colour with tints of white. After all this time, he had finally broken through into the peak of the Gold Realm!
Once he came out of his cultivation, the first thing he did was gather his life energy around his hand and look at it. The strange thing about this life energy was that there was a different part of it that was like water.
Lin Fan picked it out of his life energy and found that it was actually life energy containing a trace of the laws of water. It was just like the laws of water that the King Beast had used.
Playing around with it, Lin Fan found that he could manipulate the life energy containing the laws of water into various shapes that he could use to attack.
Angela and Zi Ling both noted this and were both surprised to see this.
Zi Ling was surprised because this wasn't in the information she received, this was actually beyond what she had expected.
As for Angela, she knew that a physique that could draw in the power of laws wasn't normal. This was similar to one of the Ten Divine Physiques that her predecessor had warned her about.
After Lin Fan was done, he turned to the two and pointed at the cave with a smile, "Let's see what the treasure is."
Before either of them could react, Lin Fan had already walked in.
Seeing this, they had no choice but to follow him.
When they came into the cave, they didn't find anything special, but as they continued forward, they eventually came to the residence of the King Beast.
In the center of the residence, there was a pedestal that had a ray of light shining down from above on it. It couldn't have been more obvious that this was the treasure they came for.
The three of them walked over and surrounded the pedestal, looking at the object that was placed in the center.
When Lin Fan saw what it was, he was very disappointed.
In the center of the pedestal, there was a small marble sized orb, but inside the orb was swirling darkness. It was waves of dark smoke that continued to swirl around, looking like there was a storm inside.
Zi Ling was surprised by this since she knew what it was and she knew how rare it was to find in this lower realm.
As for Lin Fan, he was disappointed since he also knew what it was, but he already had one of these.
And Angela, she just didn't care.
This orb was a crystallization of the law of darkness. As long as one had this, they could use it to instantly reach the Legendary Realm by integrating the law of darkness into themselves, but it would forever cut off any chance of progressing past that realm.
For people of the lower realm, this was a treasure since it would mean instantly reaching the Legendary Realm.
Even for the people of the Galactic Humanity Alliance, this was a treasure since Legendary Realm Experts were still rare resources, which was why they recruited them from lower realms.
But for people of true upper realms, this bead was nothing more than a toy that contained a trace of the law of darkness.
Lin Fan could have given these to his parents and little sister to instantly bring them into the Legendary Realm, but he would have rather found ways to help them reach the Legendary Realm without cutting off their future progress. He wanted to help them continue progressing forward so they could live as long as possible.
Even if one reached the Legendary Realm, the upper limit of their lifespan was still a thousand years.
While Lin Fan was feeling depressed about this treasure, Angela began wandering around the cave.
She walked around and found many bones of varying sizes laying against the walls, but eventually she came up to a bone that was two thirds her size. She couldn't sense anything special about it using her spiritual sense, but her instinct told her that this was definitely a treasure.
Angela turned and called out, "Lin Fan, come over here."
Lin Fan looked over with a confused gaze, but he still walked over as he said, "What is it?"
Angela pointed at the large bone and said, "Take this with you as well, it should be useful as well."
Lin Fan was even more confused as he looked at the bone, "What do you want me to do with this? Use it as a club?"
Angela smacked him on his head and said, "Just take it, my instincts are telling me that it's precious."
Lin Fan looked at her with a gaze of doubt, but he still took it and put it in the system's storage.
After going around the cave one last time, they made sure that there was nothing else precious here.
Zi Ling hadn't really taken anything. The excuse was that she didn't feel right taking anything, but the real reason was that she looked down on everything. The only thing that could excite her a bit was maybe the law of darkness orb, but she knew she shouldn't be greedy or she would blow her cover.
Once everything was packed up, they quickly left the cave in case anyone from the previous group came back to check and went flying through the forest.
After running for a bit and creating some distance from the cave, they found a small lake that they decided to take a rest at.
But the moment they wanted to stop for a rest, there was a sudden roar that was filled with pain that came from nearby.
Hearing this, they quickly put up their guards and went over to investigate.
But of course before they even approached, Lin Fan had Brainy send in its Iron Realm scouts.
Brainy quickly found out what the situation was and described it to Lin Fan.
It was a group of participants who were surrounding a white mother tiger. Behind the mother tiger, there were several small white bundles that were tinted with hints of blood.
When Lin Fan heard this, for some reason, there was an impulse that filled him. This impulse swallowed his reasoning and he didn't stop as he charged forward.
This impulse had come over him when he had seen Zi Ling being helpless when she was being surrounded by those three men.
He didn't know where this impulse came from, but whenever he saw someone who was helpless and being bullied, he just felt the urge to protect them.
But that didn't make sense to Lin Fan himself since he knew that he was cold blooded towards all his enemies. He was even cold blooded towards his pets when he trained them.
He honestly never considered himself a good person, but for some reason, he just couldn't help protecting the weak. This had been the case ever since he transmigrated into this world…
While Lin Fan was pushed forward by his impulse, his mind didn't stop and he was just able to stop himself from rushing out of the tree line.
But this time, what surprised him was that Angela was the first one to charge out.
