Chapter 228: Taking Missions

"Are you sure?" Lin Xiao was also surprised. He didn't think that Sui Wenyan would be able to advance that fast. No matter how talented she was, he didn't think that she would be this talented.

Spending just a short few years in Foundation Establishment was already more than enough for Sui Wenyan to make preparation for her breakthrough to Golden Core Stage. With that kind of strength, it was clear that the half Golden Core Stage elders from the three sects wouldn't be able to match against her anymore.

"Yes." Sui Wenyan was solemn.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment before raising his two fingers. "Two years. I'll give you two years' time to take your own mission and try to finish it in time. If you still hadn't finished the matter, I'll take a visit personally to help you."

"Yes. Thank you, Master!"

With that, it was settled that both Wenren Yu and Sui Wenyan would take separate missions. As for the others, they didn't have any qualm for following Lin Xiao in his mission. Besides, there were several group missions that might take some time and have bountiful reward.

They could choose to pick those missions instead of the simple missions and left the academy for a long period of time.

That should do.

"We'll depart tomorrow. Rest for today and I'm going to visit the Book Pavilion first."

The others were stunned but they acknowledged. Knowing that Lin Xiao wanted to take a look at the skills for the next move after the third, they didn't ask more and simply headed back to their rooms. 

"Yes."



The next day, the nine of them headed to the Mission Hall and browsed the mission that was placed on the boards. There were several missions and there were also the star marking that indicate the difficulties' level. The highest stars they could see was five stars while the lowest was one star.

"You're all new students, so I suggest you to take easier mission," the woman who was in charge of the Mission Hall said in leisure tone when she saw them.

Lin Xiao smiled but didn't answer. The easy missions' time frame was short. They were mostly only between a month until half a year. After all, for such mission, there was no need for them to waste so much time.

His eyes browsed to those at the three stars and noticed that the time frame was between a year to three. After some time, he pointed to one of them.

"Participate in the cleaning up of beasts at the border?" Lin Xiao asked and turned to look at the woman. "How strong are the beasts?"

The woman glanced at the mission and sighed. "Since it's the border area with Hua Lan Kingdom, it's not that strong because the stronger beasts have been eliminated by other people."

"How strong is it?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"From rank 1 to rank 5 should be there. However, even if you went there, you'll only be asked to eliminate those at rank 3 or 4."

Rank 5!

Based on what Lin Xiao knew, beasts at rank 5 were incredibly rare. Or they were not that rare but they were not located near their living area. After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Lin Xiao did want to test his power against Beast rank 4 in a group battle to test his power. 

But for rank 5….

He would choose to run away immediately. What a joke, Beast Rank 5 was comparable to Golden Core Stage 2 cultivators. If he could defeat Beast rank 5, it meant that he would have already been eligible to graduate from Sun Dragon Academy.

"We'll take this mission."

"Alright. The time limit is 3 years and during this period of time, you need to accumulate 100,000 contribution point per person. If you're in a team of seven, it meant that in total , you need 700,000 contribution points in total. The contribution points will depend on the rank of the beasts that you killed and submitted the left ear back to the people who guard there."

Lin Xiao nodded. The mission paper had already detailed that. 

Beast Rank 1: 1 contribution point.

Beast Rank 2: 10 contribution point.

Beast Rank 3: 100 contribution point. 

Beast Rank 4: 1000 contribution points.

Beast Rank 5: 10,000 contribution points.

Beast Rank 6: 100,000 contribution points

Honestly, they only needed to kill 700 beast rank 4 or 7000 beast rank 3 within the time span of 3 years. For ordinary people, this mission would be difficult, but Lin Xiao had the confidence that he would be able to do it. However, his eyes narrowed when he saw that there were actually a lot of people picking the same mission.

Well, the reward was quite bountiful.

Looking at the 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones that was written as reward per person, along with the beasts core they could get… who wouldn't want it?

Hua Lan Kingdom was located at the West, slightly to the south. Since the location of the mission was right there, Lin Xiao felt that it was a good decision to head there and try to fight with the beasts there. 

He should be able to gain more experience than when he did the forest trial back then.

"You two should take your missions too," Lin Xiao reported seven names before glancing at Wenren Yu and Sui Wenyan. The two of them nodded and submitted mission with two stars. They didn't have any intention to pick difficult mission but only those that was beneficial to them.

Looking at the word searching for herbs, Lin Xiao was speechless. It seemed that Wenren Yu would only rely on his specialization of searching for herbs when he took mission. Sui Wenyan would be thoroughly carried by him in this type of mission.
