27 Chapter 22: Subordinate Title [Burst Out]_1
Translator: 549690339
Seeing the popup before his eyes, Lin Yi suddenly felt unhappy, “Hey, what does ‘lurking remarkable force’ mean, is it an insult? Come out and explain it to me.”
However, this so-called Title System didn’t respond at all. So, he shifted his gaze to the title, preparing to check its effects.
“While wearing this title, the host will accumulate a certain amount of Anger Value by keeping his anger in check. When the Anger Value reaches one hundred, the subsidiary title [Burst Out] will be automatically activated.”
“Wearing the [Burst Out] title will automatically consume Anger Value and grant the status of ‘Berserk’.”
“Wearing the title [Small Endurances Make for Great Plans] and maintaining Anger Value will increase the Cultivation Speed (For every 10 points of Anger, the duration of the Berserk state will be extended by 1 second, and the Cultivation Speed will increase by 5%).”
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Yi’s face. The effect of this title was quite unique. It could gather fury, enter the Berserk state when used, and maintaining the anger could increase his Cultivation Speed.
Curious about the effects of this Berserk state, he focused his gaze on the term, “During the duration of the Berserk state, ignore any restrictive effects within one Great Realm higher than the host’s cultivation levels, while also getting a 30% extra damage bonus.”
Upon seeing the introduction to the Berserk State, Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised. This was simply invincible! He would not be subject to the control of any spell from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator while in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Moreover, he could get a 30% extra damage bonus. This was a true Burst Out, but he wasn’t sure if the talisman template he threw would enjoy the extra damage bonus.
He immediately put on the Endurance title, wanting to see if the remaining fury in his heart would be collected. Soon, a popup confirmed that he had gained 2 points of Anger Value.
Lin Yi shook his head. After all, some time had passed and his anger had gradually subsided after setting his dog on Zhang Yuan Cheng. Gaining 2 points was already quite good.
From these 2 points of Anger Value, one could see how furious he had been.
“Zhi Ling, stay at home, I have something to do outside.” He patted Zhi Ling on his shoulder, and then headed towards Qing Yun City in the night. With a Swift Movement Talisman and the Gale Step technique, he pushed his speed to the limit.
After arriving at Qing Yun City, Lin Yi went straight to Xun Fang Pavilion. The entrance of this Flower Moon Place was already packed full of people, their eyes riveted on the top floor, their chatter incessant.
He stood not far away and looked towards the top floor, his face changing color. Next to a third-floor window, a petite woman was hanging, her naked body covered in signs of violation.
Her hair-covered face was a bloody mess, unrecognizable. No signs of life could be felt from her.
Seeing this unbearable scene, Lin Yi clenched his fists, his inner fury rising violently like a volcanic eruption. He forced his gaze towards the hanging woman, observing her carefully.
Soon, he realized that this petite woman was not Xiao He.
He had spent nearly a month and a half at Xun Fang Pavilion, cultivating every night with the help of Xiao He’s allure, even spending a few days in the Spirit Energy Cave Mansion.
He could say that he was familiar with every feature of her body. Despite the similar stature and hair, some distinct features did not match.
Even though the woman was not Xiao He, Lin Yi’s fury did not abate but instead increased.
Zhang Yuan Cheng couldn’t find Xiao He, so he tortured another innocent woman to death as a substitute, intending to provoke his anger, either to urge him to attack first or to damage his mental state. It was truly vicious, worse than a pig or a dog.
He had previously thought that Zhang Yuan Cheng would only resort to petty tricks to hinder his cultivation and wouldn’t resort to something as drastic as murder or arson. But it turned out he had underestimated the malice in the hearts of people in the Cultivation World.
If he couldn’t lay his hands on an Outer Sect Disciple like himself, what about an ordinary person?
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, asking Xu Zhi Wu to escape with Xiao He. At the time, he still didn’t think such a thing could happen, but reality brutally slapped him in the face.
In the eyes of a cultivator, the life of an ordinary person is indeed extremely lowly.
Just because he had managed to stay on his own twenty-acre Spiritual Field and block the way to fortune? Lin Yi suddenly laughed, ignoring the increasing fury value reflected in the pop-up window in front of him, and walked slowly towards the Xun Fang Pavilion.
“Immortal Master, you’ve arrived. Pick me for tonight, Xiao He must be hanging outside and probably can’t keep you company.”
“Immortal Master, why not try me? I can bring more joy than the short one hanging outside.” The maidens welcoming guests at the door didn’t care about the people hanging outside, even making jokes about them.
Lin Yi didn’t respond and walked straight into the hall. Yu Niang, who was attending to the guests, changed her expression slightly after seeing him. She immediately put on a smile and leaned towards Lin Yi, “Master Lin, you’re here. Which maiden will you choose tonight?”
She didn’t mention Xiao He’s incident directly, waiting for Lin Yi to ask.
“Give the maiden outside a proper burial.” Lin Yi said in an indifferent tone.
Yu Niang momentarily froze, then laughed, “Ah, so Master already knew. You were very fond of Xiao He, but the ungrateful girl ran off with a martial artist.”
“We were lucky to catch her and punish her severely for you. The one hanging outside is her, but her face was scratched beyond recognition.”
“I said, give her a proper burial.” Lin Yi’s gaze was piercing, releasing the aura of his Qi Refining Three Layers cultivation with a hint of coldness.
Although his actual cultivation level had reached the fifth layer, under the effect of [Inferior Existence], what showed was always the three layers’ aura.
Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations from Lin Yi, Yu Niang tensed, but not overly worried. Having a shop in Qing Yun City meant they had some background.
Soon, she put on a smile again, accepted a lower-grade spirit stone from Lin Yi’s hand, and lightly tapped him with her fingers, giggling.
“Master, you scared me just now. I didn’t expect you to be a sentimental person. Xiao He was really blind. Someone! Take down that dead girl and give her a proper burial outside the city.”
Two martial artists immediately went out, took the girl down, covered her with a white cloth, threw her into a carriage, and headed outside the city.
At that moment, two maidens passed by, one in red and one in white, “Brother Lin, why..why are you here?” The maiden in white, who had a pure look, asked in surprise after seeing Lin Yi.
“Eh, Chun Ying, I didn’t know you knew Brother Lin too. What a coincidence.” Hong Yao, the seductive lady in red, also asked in surprise.
Yu Niang clapped her hands, laughing, “Master Lin seems to really have a connection with the maidens in our pavilion. This is Miss Chun Ying. She recently joined our pavilion, she has a pure look.”
“She was well trained by another Immortal Master a while back, and now she’s charming and skilled. Master Lin, why not choose her for tonight.”
The once pure Chun Ying, now had a seductive look and she clung to Lin Yi, “Brother Lin, we really are connected. Thankfully, you didn’t choose me that day…”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have experienced the exquisite methods of Immortal Master Zhang. It brought me immense pleasure. Why not let me give you a taste of it tonight?” As she spoke, her hand started to explore inside her clothes.
Lin Yi moved swiftly, instantly breaking away. He glanced at Chun Ying and then at Hong Yao beside her. Speaking in a reserved manner, he said, “Some other day. I have some tasks tonight. Excuse me.” Having said that, he turned around and left the Xun Fang Pavilion.
