[Silver-Ranked, Goblin King Armor]

Defense Power: 2500-2800

'Weird, I didn't see the Goblin King wearing an armor. Well since he received them he should wear them.' Zhen Lun immediately replaced his armor into Goblin King Armor.

"System, What does unassigned stats mean?"

[You can assign them in Character Menu]

Zhen Lun opened his character menu, turned out there are ( + ) and ( - ) besides STR, AGI, and INT.

Sadly, he can't assign his stats to the most overpowered stats, LUK.

In the fight of Goblin King, he found out that didn't lack strength at all, he needs more agility if he wants to win against the Goblin King fairly.

Zhen Lun assigned all of the points into his AGI.

As he was resting on the ground, A giant portal appeared in front of his eyes.

"System, Is that the portal that sends me back?"

[No, It doesn't only send you back. You have two choices to choose.]

[You should go inside the portal yourself]

Entering the portal, he found himself inside of empty space with two more portals. The left side of the portals, I can see the Training Hall of Peerless Sky Sect. The other was nothing but darkness.

'So I could either choose to continue or go back.' He really wanted to continue but he already stayed inside for quite long. He was scared that he will miss the tournament.

Zhen Lun walked to the left side, Exiting this dungeon and returning to Peerless Sky Sect.

As soon as he got out from the dungeon, the portal that sends him back vanishes. Somehow, even though he was appearing out of thin air. The people around him did not get suspicious.

'Did they didn't see the portal?'

Zhen Lun walked up to one of the disciple. "Brother, What date is today?"

"Hm, It's twenty-eighth. Why?"

'Did I stay inside the dungeon for a month?' The day before I went inside the dungeon is also Twenty-eighth.

"I'm sorry but What month is it?" Zhen Lun can't help but ask again.

"Are you crazy? It's XX month. Don't bother me I'm busy." The disciple walked off as Zhen Lun asked such abnormal question.

'No time has passed while I was inside the dungeon?' Zhen Lun was shocked. If only The dungeon has Spiritual Energy to absorb he would've stayed in the dungeon for as long as he wanted.

This is good news!

"System, Can you send me back to the dungeon again?"

[No, You'll need to wait for seven days]

Hearing that he was immediately depressed. 'Nevermind, If he knew it, he wouldn't have come out this early.' He sighed.

Since no time has passed, I should visit some bookstore. A day for a breakthrough is too long and I don't have anything to do anyway.

'Wait... I don't have much gold with me.' He has been using the money he has to buy stuff for Little Snow. Right now, He only left with fifty silver coins.

Suddenly an idea hit his head. 'Why don't I learn to write to myself?' If he can't buy books he should create the books himself!

'I should head to the Teacher Pavillion.'

Arriving at the Teacher Pavillion of Xin Hai City, He entered inside immediately, walking towards the reception desk and register himself.

"I would like to become a teacher!" Zhen Lun said to the receptionist.

'What is this young man saying?' The woman that was assigned as a receptionist let out a bitter smile. "Um, you'll have to be at least twenty years old to become a teacher."

"Twenty? that's too long! Any other method?" Zhen Lun asked.

"Well, you'll need to be at least reach the Transcendental Mortal Realm."

'...In the end, it's the same.'

"Then can I at least buy some books about imparting technique through writing?"

"The books are not for sale but you can read them on the bookshelf there." The receptionist pointed to a room which has a sign of 'Library' on the entrance.

'I'll see if there's quality to it or not first. If there's no quality to it, I'll just give them these silver coins and it should suffice.'

Zhen Lun went into the library. Inside the bookshelves are separated into many sections. He walks to the Writing Section.

Scanning through the bookshelves, he found a book called 'Writing for dummies'. Zhen Lun grabbed the book and opened it.

[Book of Mastery, Spiritual Writing, Quality: 4]

[Do you wish to consume the book?] Yes/No

'It has the quality to it...' Zhen Lun was depressed.

'But this is a book for dummies, why does it have quality four?'

Zhen Lun opened another book, this time it's called 'Writing Technique for amateur'

[Book of Mastery, Spiritual Writing, Quality: 12]

'Does this means that Spiritual Writing is easy to learn?'

Ding*

'I'm sorry.'

Zhen Lun consumed the book. It dissipates into particles and flows inside his head. Knowledge begins to appear in his head.

[Book consumed]

[Spiritual Writing learned!]

[Skill Leveled up!]

[Skill Leveled up!]

...

...

[Skill Leveled up!]

[Progress 60%]

With such a high-quality book being consumed, It immediately reached Level 9. The knowledge he received was abundant this time that it made his head hurts.

With the knowledge about Spiritual Writing on his head right now, he finally realized something miserable again. It made him remember that he needs more money to write a book.

'I need ink and paper to make a book.' He's back to square one, In the end, he needs money again.

'I'll leave these silver coins to the receptionist.' Zhen Lun heads back to the receptionist and drops some silver coins without saying anything.

The woman was confused by the money that she was given. before she gets to questions him, Zhen Lun left already.

To earn money, he heads to the Mercenary District. There he can earn some money by completing some requests.

Though it can be dangerous with the system helps with determining the difficulty he should be able to keep himself safe from dangerous requests.

Arriving the district, many shady people are seen walking on the streets looking at the requests that people posted on the board, Most of them have killing intent oozing out from their body. They are all cold-blooded killer that kill people for money.

Zhen Lun walks toward the closest board. He went and pick the paper out of the board.

"Oi Brat, You are taking that request?" One of the mercenaries asked. They are offended by Zhen Lun's action. Usually, people carefully read the request and gather information first. This brat came out of nowhere and picked up the most difficult request without hesitation. Picking up the paper meant that you are willing to accept the request.

"No, I am short-sighted. I need to get close to read." Zhen Lun answered. He can't say that he needs to grab the request in order for the system to react.

'Short-sighted? Can you make something better? You are a martial artist with an acute sense of their surroundings.'

[Kill Snow Panther, Rank-C Quest]

[Rewards: 10000000 Experience Points]

'Hm, I'll take this then.'

"Nevermind, I'll take this. Who's in charge of this board?" Zhen Lun asked.

"That guy." The mercenaries pointed to a guy that is sleeping on his chair.

Zhen Lun walks up to him and tapped his shoulder. "I'll be taking this request."

Yawn* "What a nice nap!" The man scratched his eyes. "Which one are you doing?"

Zhen Lun handed the paper to him. "This one."

The man looked surprised for a moment. He then contained his shock and scanned Zhen Lun. 'He's only at Spiritual Tempering Realm. Well, It's fine to let him accept. We only need someone to bait the panther but not actually kill it. With him dead, it'll be good for me too.'

"Brother, Did you know what realm is the Snow Panther that you'll be killing?" The man asked with uncertainty.

"I don't know. but It should fine." Zhen Lun shrugged.

"Suit yourself. It's not our problem if you die." The man pretended to care about his safety.

He then snapped his finger, two people came out. "These guys will guide you to the Snow Panther. Once you kill the Snow Panther, you leave immediately! Then, you come here with one of the guides to receive your reward."

"Sure." Zhen Lun agreed.

The two people that are guiding him, both of them at Body Harmonizing Realm. Something is suspicious here. but even so, Zhen Lun merely gave him a nod. They then left to see the Snow Panther.

A few minutes into the southwest Forest, They arrived at the place. They went quite deep into the forest that even the temperature of the forest changed.

The weather around this place is cold, as it was snowing. In front of him, There's the snow panther lying on the ground peacefully.

[Snow Panther] (Level 0)

AGI: 312 LUK: 21

INT: 181 QI: 203

'No wonder, The system, and that person are very generous. This guy has reached Transcendent Mortal Realm.' Zhen Lun observed from far.

The guides that besides Zhen Lun suddenly yelled. "Ah!!" As soon as they did that both of them ran far away from Zhen Lun.

Because of them making noises the Snow Panther woke up from his sleep. It lays it gazes Zhen Lun who was standing still the entire time.

'As expected, They're planning to use me as bait!'

Both of them are sneaking inside the lake, leaving Zhen Lun to distract the Snow Panther. They are targetting the Snow Panther's treasure, not the Snow Panther itself.

"Hey calm down, You should check your nest! they are trying to steal your treasure!" Zhen Lun tried to persuade the Snow Panther but it doesn't seem to understand him. It was just angry with Zhen Lun for waking him up.

The Snow Panther leaped to him, trying to injure him with its sharp claws.

'Once I deal with this guy both of them are dead!' Zhen Lun didn't dodge the claws. He grabbed Brawling Shield out from his inventory and used it to block Snow Panther attack. With Zhen Lun's superiority in Strength, He wasn't knocked back at all.

[Brawling Shield durability dropped]

'It's true that you're as strong as Goblin King but your health is quite low compared to the goblins!'

Executing Double Slash with Bronze Sword, Zhen Lun immediately killed the Snow Panther.

[1200000 Experience Points gained!]

[50000 Golds Coins received!]

[You received 'Mythical Beast (Snow Panther) Claws']

[Leveled Up!]

"Next will be you guys!" He glared at them. The guides that ditched him are busy picking the treasure of Snow Panther.

The two of them has finally gotten the treasure. They stored them in their back and prepared to leave as quickly as possible. Until they saw a man blocking their path.

"You're not dead?" The man was shocked.

Zhen Lun didn't answer his question. Without showing mercy, Zhen Lun chopped their heads off from their neck in a single slash.

"Of course not, A mere Snow Panther won't kill me."

Both of them died without realizing what happened, Leaving their lifeless body on the ground.

[80000 Experience Points gained!]

[3000 Gold Coins received!]

[65000 Experience Points gained!]

[1800 Gold Coins received!]

'They're too fragile. Goblins are much better than this.' Zhen Lun expressionlessly commented on their corpse. 'But they suprisingly give tons of Experience points'

Zhen Lun looted their body to see what kind of treasure did they picked from Snow Panther.

Inside their bag, he found some golds and a valuable herb. Zhen Lun wasn't familiar with herbs. With the help of the system should be able to find out its details.

[Ice Crystal Root] (Crafting Item)

A Precious Herb

'...At least I received its name.'

'Shitty System.' Zhen Lun cursed.

'The Snow Panther is protecting it. This herb should be worth some golds. I should auction it and see how much it worth.'

Zhen Lun didn't forget to store the corpse of the Snow Panther, a carcass of a mythical beast does worth something. Their bones could be used in concocting pills and their flesh can be eaten to restore vitality.
