Seeing the Black Tiger approaching on horseback, Lin Fan's expression changed. He ordered, "Everyone, get on your horses!"
"Senior Brother Lin, what are you afraid of?
The Black Tiger and our Haitian Gang have already turned hostility into friendship. Do you think the Black Tiger would dare to kill us and steal our treasures in broad daylight? "
"Those who are tired of living can stay." Lin Fan mounted his horse and headed back to the city.
From what he knew, the Black Tiger's internal points system was the same as the Haitian Gang's. Moreover, the Black Tiger's zombie extermination this time was also exchanging points for zombie heads.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
They only had ten people, while the other side had twenty people. The disparity in strength was huge. If the other side really made things difficult and wanted to steal the zombie heads in their hands, there was almost no chance of victory.
Seeing Lin Fan ride off into the distance without looking back, the nine people hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped away.
The group of ten people galloped back to the city and returned to the inner disciples' area.
They waited until nightfall and still didn't see the three injured people return. They guessed that they wouldn't be able to return, so they directly went to report to Xue Hansan.
On this day, the zombie extermination operation still didn't go smoothly.
Among the inner disciples, thirty-seven disciples left the city. Apart from Lin Fan's group of thirteen, only nine of the fourteen returned. They lost another five people.
Apart from Lei Jun who killed a zombie and a bronze-armored corpse, the others didn't manage to kill anything.
Lei Jun's results were remarkable, but when he returned, he was covered in scars.
According to him, he encountered four bronze-armored corpses. He fought with them alone for almost two hours. Although he killed a bronze-armored corpse in the end, he was injured both internally and externally.
After returning, he swallowed ten internal injury medicines, but still couldn't get up from his bed.
This situation worried Xue Hansan deeply, because if this continued, his daughter wouldn't be able to hide and would have to come out to participate in the mission. When he thought of this, his heart was incomparably distressed.
That was until Lin Fan and the others appeared.
Xue Hansan had also heard that Lin Fan's group of thirteen was moving together. There was strength in numbers, so he felt rather at ease.
Seeing that they had returned and even managed to kill 29 hairy zombies, which could be considered a great victory, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, when he saw that there were three people missing, he asked, "Why are there three people missing?"
Lin Fan told the truth.
Xue Hansan nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Fan, you did the right thing. The Black Tiger has always been eyeing the Haitian Gang. Although the two gangs don't seem to be in conflict on the surface, they are secretly killing each other. Who knows if the thirteen disciples who didn't come back last time were killed by the zombies or the Black Tiger …"
"Hall Master Xue, I think the three of them are probably dead. Why don't you give us their points?" the senior disciple said.
Xue Hansan nodded and let out a long sigh. He asked, "How are you going to distribute the spoils of your group operation?"
Lin Fan said, "We'll distribute it equally."
Xue Hansan nodded and calculated. Then, he gave everyone 870 points.
Then, the group of people left excitedly.
Including Lin Fan.
After a while, Lin Fan returned.
Xue Hansan knew the purpose of Lin Fan's return. Before he could ask, he had already said, "Lin Fan, don't worry. I've already recorded your commission. It's a total of 2900 points. Plus the 870 points you deserve, it's a total of 3770 points. Lin Fan, you're rich …"
Lin Fan said, "Hall Master Xue, why do you keep saying this? Are you going to ask me what I'm going to do next?"
"Tsk, why should I care?"
Xue Hansan was embarrassed. He quickly said, "Anyway, the points you've accumulated today are enough to make you an elite disciple."
"Hey, Hall Master Xue, don't you feel bad that I got so many points all of a sudden?" Lin Fan said. He also wanted to know how the higher-ups distributed the points to Hall Master Xue.
"These points aren't mine. I don't feel bad."
Xue Hansan muttered in his heart. He rolled his eyes at Lin Fan and said, "How about I reduce your commission a little?"
"No, no, Hall Master Xue, I said too much."
Lin Fan slapped his mouth and said, "How about this, Hall Master Xue, I'm in urgent need of money now. Can you exchange all my points for silver?"
"Uh, that's true. Your parents just entered the city and need money." Xue Hansan quickly wrote out the exchange receipt.
Then he said, "Lin Fan, your parents don't need so much money. Don't you need elixirs to help you with your Blood Training?"
Lin Fan exchanged all his points for silver because he was afraid that he would die.
He heard that if a new disciple died, it was equivalent to the tea turning cold. The points were likely to be invalidated.
Although it was just a rumor, Lin Fan was still careful. He felt that it would be better to exchange the points for silver and leave them in the bank for his parents' safety.
Seeing that he didn't answer, he changed the topic. "Hall Master Xue, if the Black Tiger's people attack us, how should we deal with it?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, you'll draw your sword and fight back. Not to mention the Black Tiger's disciples, even if the disciples of the same sect attack you, you'll have to defend yourself and fight back."
Lin Fan thought to himself, "I understand this logic. I just want to change the topic."
In the end, the topic really did change. Seeing that Xue Hansan wrote out the exchange receipt, Lin Fan took it and turned to leave.
Seeing Lin Fan's performance today, Xue Hansan was even more confident in Lin Fan. If Lin Fan was as tough and capable as usual, then he really wanted to betroth his daughter to this kid.
In this world, people like Lin Fan were really lacking.
Therefore, at this time, he wanted Lin Fan to go out and kill the zombies to gain face and credit for him, but he was also afraid that something would happen to him. Therefore, he shouted, "Lin Fan."
Lin Fan stopped and turned to look at him.
Xue Hansan said, "Be careful in tomorrow's operation."
"I know." Lin Fan nodded and left.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Fan lay on his bed and opened the interface to check today's harvest.
He also upgraded his skills.
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 363 (+)
Martial Arts: Blood Forging Body Tempering Level 1 "Phloem Realm" (Small Success)
Martial Arts: Blood Crushing Fist (Entry) (+) Blood Eighteen Blades (Entry) (+) Cloud Walking (+) Blood Shadow Steps (Entry) (+) Bull's Strength (Small Success) (+)
Ghost Arts: Yin Wind Palm (+) Ghost Shadow Steps (+)
Corpse Energy: 1363
Yin Energy: 160
Demon Energy: 0
…
He found that his Vitality had increased by 8 points, and the "+" sign had also appeared, indicating that his Vitality could still be increased.
He felt that something was wrong. It was a little sudden.
But after thinking about it carefully, he understood.
He was now at the Small Success Phloem Realm. After his physical strength increased, his body's capacity and capacity for Vitality naturally increased as well.
Vitality was not only strength, but it also had a very good suppressive effect on zombies.
His Vitality was boiling. Even if he did not use martial arts, it was still quite powerful.
He decided to replenish his Vitality first.
One hundred and sixty points of Yin energy was reserved for emergencies.
Now he had 1363 points of Corpse Energy, 200 of which came from a copper-armored corpse. Its quality was quite high.
He controlled it with his mind and first converted the 10 points of Corpse Energy from the copper-armored corpse into Vitality.
With a thought, the Corpse Energy decreased by 10 points and his Vitality increased by 20 points, the same as the previous experiment.
The conversion rate was doubled.
At this time, Lin Fan's Vitality had reached 383 points, and the "+" sign had not disappeared, indicating that his Vitality could still be increased.
So he spent another 20 points of Corpse Energy from the copper-armored corpse and converted it into 40 points of Vitality.
Seeing that his Vitality was not full, he spent another 20 points and gained another 40 points of Vitality.
At this time, his Vitality had reached 463 points. When he looked again, he found that the "+" sign behind his Vitality had finally disappeared.
At this time, Lin Fan's Vitality was already the highest among the disciples.
Because more than half of the disciples used medicine to temper their bodies, their Vitality could no longer increase.
Even if there were disciples who used blood to temper their bodies, although the upper limit of their Vitality was very high, their Vitality had always been in a weak state due to the lack of medicine to supplement it.
Because the Blood Glory Pill was too expensive, the average disciple could not afford it at all. Even if it was a rich disciple, because the demand was too large, because they did not have the spending power, and because the family could not invest all their money in one disciple.
So it was impossible for his Vitality to be full.
