The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect

Chapter 38:- Nine Star Battle Apprentice

Yang Chen looked at the scene of chaos below from the mountaintop before turning around to leave. It did not matter to him which side won or lost, as long as he was earning points from their battle, he was happy.

The morning of the next day, the camp where the Zhang clan members were. Everything was in a state of mess, corpses of demonic beasts littered the place and the ground was destroyed beyond recognition. Nobody would be able to tell that it was a camp prior the night.

People wearing the badge of the Zhang clan were lying on the floor mending to their injuries. There was no time for them to even clean up the mess that was near them or wipe the bloodstains on their bodies, they were just too tired.

The fight with the demonic beasts had lasted the entire night and the demonic beast stampede only came to a halt when dawn broke out.

A quick estimate after looking at the corpses of the demonic beasts told others that they had at least fought more than forty demonic beasts. some of which were even above Eight Star level.

Zhang Zhan sat cross-legged atop a big boulder and cultivated. From how messy his clothes were, it could be seen that he too didn't have it easy even with his Battle Master class strength last night.

In fact, given the number of the demonic beats and their strength, the Zhang clan members were only able to survive this incident without any casualty was because of his strength. The other camps weren't that fortunate to have a battle master realm cultivator with them.

Huff... Zhang Zhan exhaled a deep breath of air and opened his eyes. His gaze scanned the messy campsite and the worn out clan members before he grit his teeth in frustration.

The plan to move at night had failed completely due to the Demonic Beasts Stampede. Even if he wanted to move now, it was physically impossible since his subordinates were just too tired and exhausted.

Li Hao was also resting. Since he was their guide, Zhang Zhan had saved him from getting eaten by the demonic beasts.

"Dammit..." Zhang Zhan cursed, his eyes staring at the depths of the forest.

'No matter where you are, I will find you and avenge my son' he swore.

Two days later, deep inside the star forest jungle...

Yang Chen was currently locked in a fierce battle with a demonic beast. The beast he was fighting, was a giant boar with a spiky carapace called the Armoured Hog.

It was one of the tyrants of the middle regions of the jungle and possessed the strength of a Nine Star Battle Apprentice. Plus equipped with their spiky carapace that not only increased their defence but also made it difficult for low tiers Battle Skill to have any effect on it.

Its charge caused the land to tremble and those spiky carapaces were deadly enough to shred anything they touched. If any ordinary hunter were to get hit by those, it would be no doubt an instant death.

Not to mention its sturdy hide which even ordinary steel can't pierce. Forget about fighting it, hunters usually avoid coming near the demonic beast. However, Yang Chen was of a different breed. He did not only fight the Demonic Beast, he was battling it on an equal footing.

Ever since diving inside the jungle, Yang Chen had been targeting Demonic Beasts that were stronger than him and as a result of which, he was growing at a mind boggling rate.

It had only been perhaps three or four days since he last levelled up to an Eight Star Battle Apprentice. Yet now he was already on the verge of becoming a Nine Star.

If any other practitioner saw this rate of improvement they would no doubt be gawking in astonishment. Others use weeks or even months of bitter training and cultivation to raise their level.

However, thanks to the Greedvil system Yang Chen did not have to conform to and follow such norms since he could improve his strength by hunting demonic beasts.

The levelling system replaces the need for cultivating by rewarding him with experience points for every kill. Just like in the games.

Winds gathering around his feet, Yang Chen activated [Wild Revolution Steps] the new Movement type Battle skill that he learned and easily dodged the terrifying charge of the Armoured Hog.

Next, he appeared beside the beast and swung his Flame Expelling Sword to make a deep cut on its body.

Blood flowed out from the wound and the demonic beast roared out in agony. The sturdy hide that even a steel sword can't pierce, was dotted with numerous cuts and gashes.

The sword in Yang Chen's hand was no ordinary sword, but a powerful two star sword that he had recently purchased from the store. Even the defensive spiky carapace of the Armoured Hog was nothing compared to its sharpness.

A two star sword was very different from an ordinary one star sword in that, not only is it forged with better materials, but it also offered a skill to its holder.

The Flame Expelling Sword in Yang Chen's hand for instance can release flames from its blades when battle energy is channelled inside it.

This additional feature is something that a one star weapon does not have and is what makes a two star weapon different from a one star.

The one star swords in Yang Chen's inventory couldn't even scratch the demonic beast much less wound it. This can only be achieved with a two star sword.

ROAARR...

Yang Chen stopped admiring his weapon and focused his attention back on the beast that had gone into a frenzied state.

In this state, the Demonic Beast completely lost their mind in exchange for their strength increasing to a new level.

Yang Chen was already inferior to it in terms of strength and now that the beast went into that state, that gap had only become wider.

"Huff... it didn't go down even after that huh?" Yang Chen was amazed; nevertheless, he remained composed even when his opponent had clearly powered up in front of him.

"Very well then, this is the perfect chance to try out the powers of the secret art" He muttered under his breath and activated the first change of the Nine Brilliant Mysterious Change.
