nChicken nuggets. I am going to cultivate, who in the world is smiling at you?

n

n

nSenior Brother Lu and the rest were really nice, but given my situation, I have no other choice. It’s good enough that I repay them by not doing anything bad to society.

n

n

nFreedom.

n

n

nDo you understand what that word means?

n

n

nIt means that I’ll do whatever I want as long as it’s legal.

n

n

nMoreover, having to be in this unfamiliar world, all I hope is to survive.

n

n

nLook at how many I have already killed in just a few days. If I was back on Earth, I would be in prison right now.

n

n

nAll I want is freedom – to leave this place and go on a trip to every part of this world before I figure out what to do next.

n

n

nIt’s such a pity that I am unable to do so right now.

n

n

nLin Fan stopped at an isolated place. He was still in the area that was guarded by the Magnificent Flame Sect though; it was hard to leave the place unless one could fly.

n

n

nWith Lin Fan’s speed, even if he could run, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

n

n

nWhatever, let’s give it a try.

n

n

nAccording to my experience, one will explode to his death if it fails.

n

n

nLin Fan took out his pen and started to record down the routes that he tried. The first step was correct, but there are eight main meridians in our bodies. Who would dare to say that they’re able to make the right step every time?

n

n

nSince he failed once, he would take another route.

n

n

nCultivate.

n

n

nLin Fan felt his blood boiling up, but in a less intense way. Yes! I have succeeded! For the third step, there are a hundred lesser meridians to choose from. I’ll just pick a random one.

n

n

nBang!

n

n

nHis body exploded immediately.

n

n

nLin Fan could not feel pain, but he could not help but roll his eyes. What the heck? Are you nuts? Why must it be this dangerous?

n

n

nHow did anyone else ever successfully make it? What is the chance of succeeding in a single try? They would have exploded to death if they failed!

n

n

nExperience Points 10

n

n

nLin Fan sighed. This is masochism! Since I possess immortality and am unable to feel pain, I must create a skill set, or else it would be a big embarrassment.

n

n

nWhat Lin Fan was unaware of was that, among a human’s meridians, some were not to be touched as it would be fatal. Anyone who was creating a skill set would definitely not touch these meridians.

n

n

nThose who were able to create a skill set were all knowledgeable, experienced, and powerful. If they didn’t meet these criteria, how could they create their own skills?

n

n

nWhat Lin Fan was doing now was experimenting with different paths one by one. He was basically just brute-force guessing the most suitable way.

n

n

nLin Fan woke up after a moment. He might’ve been immortal, but constantly dying wasn’t exactly pleasant. In fact, it was rather torturous in its own way.

n

n

nBut what else can I do?

n

n

nOthers learned and picked things up from their elders, but all Lin Fan could do was guess and find the most rudimentary way of creating a skill set.

n

n

nThe first and second step are alright, so now I just have to work on the third one.

n

n

nTime flew past.

n

n

nThe paper was filled with Lin Fan’s recordings. Lin Fan was pleased with how things were turning out.

n

n

n“I’m lucky to have reached the fourth step. Let’s work harder, I’m sure I’ll be able to succeed soon.” Lin Fan smiled in confidence. If I succeed, I will go down in history.

n

n

nWith all the experience he had gained, Lin Fan was confident that it would work out.

n

n

n“Let’s go.”

n

n

nLin Fan felt his blood boiling, and there were changes taking place to his body.

n

n

n“What the hell, oh my, stop. Oh lord.” Lin Fan looked down and realized his chest was expanding. This is such a failure.

n

n

nEven though Lin Fan could not feel the pain, he knew that his chest was expanding. He took the broadsword and killed himself without waiting for his chest to explode.

n

n

nExperience Points 10

n

n

nTough life. This is such a tough life that it’s not meant for humans.

n

n

nEven so, Lin Fan was still excited about it because he believed that, with his self-created skill, he would be able to reach the top of the world.

n

n

nNot to mention the lottery, which is basically a giant cheat.

n

n

nWhat on earth are those prizes? If I didn’t have the lottery, I would already be dead.

n

n

nBang!

n

n

nBang!

n

n

nSounds of explosions could be heard constantly.

n

n

nIf there were anyone around, they would have already jumped out of their skins.

n

n

nQuite some time had passed.

n

n

nLin Fan was starting to get a bit dizzy. He had already forgotten how many times he had died.

n

n

nAll he knew was that he had ten thousand experience points currently.

n

n

nSo, I have died about a few hundred times?

n

n

n“Let’s go!” Lin Fan gave himself a pat and started to cultivate.

n

n

nThis was the only route left.

n

n

nHe could feel that many changes had taken place in his body – something that cultivating the Body Refinement Technique could not achieve.

n

n

nAll of a sudden, a line of words appeared on the Mortal skills creation guide book, which disappeared into his body.

n

n

n“Undying Refinement of Bone: expansion of the body and indestructible bones. Experience Points 2

n

n

n“Mortal middle-class.”

n

n

n“Oh my!” Lin Fan watched the words appear and heaved a sigh of relief.

n

n

nIt’s so hard being me.

n

n

nI have worked so hard and died so many times! Finally.

n

n

nLin Fan started to tear up.

n

n

nHow many times have I died? Could anyone withstand the pain I have been through?

n

n

nBut this isn’t right.

n

n

nWhy is it not going the way I expected it to?

n

n

nCultivating it only increased my points by 2?

n

n

nOh my lord. This is so tough.

n

n

nI need to work harder.

n

n

nLin Fan went back to cultivating with confidence. No matter what, he had already made it halfway through. I will surely get to greater heights!

n

n

nTime flew past.

n

n

nThe sky was now dark.

n

n

nEven so, Lin Fan never gave up.

n

n

nI don’t believe that continuously exploding can stop me!

n

n

n…

n

n

nMeanwhile, Lu Qiming had been looking for Lin Fan since noon. He had been waiting for his return, but it was now dark, yet he did not see Lin Fan anywhere. This made Lu Qiming start panicking.

n

n

nWhere is Junior Brother Lin?

n

n

nThe next day, the sun was high in the sky.

n

n

nAnd the place that Lin Fan was staying was dyed red with blood.

n

n

nThe piece of paper lying on the floor showed records of many cultivating routes, but none led to success.

n

n

n“No, that’s enough. I am about to vomit.” Lin Fan could take it no more. After a day of experimenting and self-explosions that got Lin Fan nothing, he was extremely beat.

n

n

n“I’ll just cultivate with the Undying Refinement of Bone first and try out the rest later.” Lin Fan comforted himself.

n

n

nWell, at least there’s an improvement, right?
