Chapter 240: Little Chick, Go Get 'Em

Lin Fan was overjoyed at this moment. He hadn't expected his idea to work; cultivating with the blood essence of fierce beasts was simply a piece of cake for him.

However, one thing puzzled Lin Fan slightly: the blood essence of the Ironback Crocodile only increased his experience by a hundred points.

Did blood essence from fierce beasts of different cultivation levels grant different experience, or was it all the same?

Lin Fan took Little Chick out of his backpack. As soon as it emerged, Little Chick spread its wings and crowed loudly, as if enjoying the fresh air, calling out with a cock-a-doodle-doo.

"Little Chick, give me a drop of your blood essence," Lin Fan said, patting Little Chick on the head.

Although Little Chick was still in its juvenile form, one drop of blood essence shouldn't be a problem.

Just then, a startling scene unfolded. The lively Little Chick suddenly tilted its neck and fainted, though its three-toed claws clung to Lin Fan's clothes, preventing it from falling.

"You... you..." Lin Fan was at a loss for words. Even Little Chick was playing tricks. No matter how he shook it, Little Chick remained as if dead, its pink tongue sticking out as if it had breathed its last.

"Alright, I don't need it. Stop playing dead." Lin Fan was speechless at Little Chick's antics. It had learned to be so mischievous without any teaching—truly exasperating.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Fan said that, Little Chick perked up again, crowing happily as if overjoyed.

Lin Fan glanced at it and tossed it back into the backpack.

"This world has no shortage of fierce beasts. Since that's the case, this is the only way."

...

In a dangerous forbidden area, a wolf-type fierce beast was subdued by Lin Fan with a single palm strike.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a Xiantian Great Perfection fierce beast."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 1000 experience."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining a drop of blood essence."

Lin Fan consumed the blood essence.

"Ding, congratulations on increasing Blood Sea Demon Art experience by 80."

...

Lin Fan then hunted a few more fierce beasts, but he realized that not all beasts dropped blood essence. Some Xiantian initial-stage beasts gave a drop, while some Entering Divinity beasts yielded none at all.

Moreover, the experience gained for the Blood Sea Demon Art from consuming blood essence depended on the beast's blood essence.

Overall, blood essence from Xiantian-stage beasts didn't differ much in the experience they provided for the technique.

The same was true for blood essence from Entering Divinity beasts.

It seemed that cultivating the Blood Sea Demon Body required a large quantity of blood essence, rather than focusing on the beast's level.

Day and night.

A figure darted through this perilous land, wantonly slaughtering countless fierce beasts.

Given his current cultivation, Lin Fan wouldn't provoke beasts above the Small Heaven stage, since cultivating the Blood Sea Demon Art relied not on high-level beast blood essence but on quantity.

Lin Fan had become a fierce beast terminator. Whenever he saw a beast, regardless of its cultivation, he suppressed and crushed it. Drops of blood essence, once considered useless, were now treasures to him.

The Blood Sea Demon Art was so powerful. If he could train it to the highest level, he could regenerate from a single drop of blood. What would it be like if he advanced the art further?

"Die..."

A rampaging fierce beast erupted with boundless ferocity, but under Lin Fan's palm, it was reduced to ashes.

At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the dense corpses of fierce beasts around him and smiled. The endless stream of experience notifications gave him a satisfying sense of leveling up.

Lin Fan waved his sleeve, and all the blood essence floated over, then he swallowed it.

"Ding, Blood Sea Demon Art experience increased by 100."

"Ding, Blood Sea Demon Art experience increased by 90."

"Ding, Blood Sea Demon Art experience increased by 120."

...

Refreshing, utterly refreshing.

Not only did his technique experience rise, but his own experience also continuously increased, and Lin Fan kept improving his skill experience.

Killing three birds with one stone—this kind of thing made Lin Fan more and more interested.

"Roar..."

In that instant, the earth shook and mountains quaked. A roar filled with supreme authority came from afar.

Boom, boom...

The ground trembled, and the fierce beasts hidden in the surroundings also roared to the sky.

"Looks like I've attracted the overlord." Lin Fan stood still, watching the commotion ahead, understanding the situation.

The Roaring Rift Bear stood tall and burly on the ground, as if blotting out the sky.

The fierce beasts living in its territory were dying off—these were its food. If this continued, what would it eat?

Though the Roaring Rift Bear's body was massive, its thick hind legs suddenly shattered the ground, and it leaped, crossing a large area.

"Boom..."

At this moment, the Roaring Rift Bear descended from the sky, raising layers of dust. The ground seemed unable to withstand its might, cracking inch by inch. Its huge eyes were filled with boundless fury.

"Roar..."

The Roaring Rift Bear roared at the tiny human before it. The powerful sound waves swept across the land, and the fierce beasts hiding in the shadows fled with their tails between their legs.

Small Heaven initial stage.

Lin Fan looked at the towering beast before him, but compared to the Snow King Lion he had encountered, it was far inferior.

"Being so tall, are you trying to bully people?" Lin Fan looked up and said.

In response, a giant palm descended from the sky, slapping toward Lin Fan.

"Not bad, not bad, very fierce. But fine, I'll play with you. Little Chick, come out and get 'em!" At this moment, Lin Fan released Little Chick.

As soon as it came out, Little Chick crowed happily, as if delighted to be out again.

But before it could be happy for even a second, Little Chick turned its head in a daze and saw a massive figure imprinting in its eyes. Instantly, its feathers stood on end—though it had no feathers, so bumps appeared instead.

Little Chick flapped its wings and immediately hid behind Lin Fan's feet, wrapping its wings around his ankle. Its cute chicken eyes revealed a hint of fear.

Lin Fan was speechless at the sight.

Damn, why is it so timid?

Sure, the opponent was big, but it was only at Small Heaven initial stage. Little Chick was a descendant of an ancient fierce beast, with equal cultivation—what was there to fear?

Lin Fan picked up Little Chick. "What are you afraid of? You're a descendant of an ancient fierce beast! Can't you show some dominance?"

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." Little Chick flapped its wings and cried, its cute chicken eyes looking at Lin Fan with a pitiful expression, as if saying,

"Daddy, it's so big, I can't beat it..."

Lin Fan ignored Little Chick's adorable gaze and shook it. "Little Chick, it's time for you to shine."

"Go, my Little Chick!" Lin Fan shouted, hurling Little Chick toward the Roaring Rift Bear with all his might.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

Little Chick flapped its wings frantically, trying to stop, but its short, featherless wings couldn't generate any lift.

Little Chick screeched.

The Roaring Rift Bear roared, and the blast of its breath sent Little Chick tumbling in the wind. Then the bear's sky-obscuring palm came slapping toward Little Chick.

As Little Chick flew toward the Roaring Rift Bear, it spread its wings, stretched its claws in terror, and crowed wildly.
