Chapter 278: The Clever Golden-Haired Lion

Xiao Fan never dreamed that this Golden-Haired Lion would actually possess such intelligence…

Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Fan with eager eyes, then glanced at the small piles of dried meat stacked everywhere.

It felt like it had lost face as a lion, and let out two low "woo-ooh" "woo-ooh" sounds.

In truth, it was also very helpless… If it didn't do this, it was mainly afraid that Xiao Fan would starve it to death…

And Xiao Fan was truly capable of doing something like starving it to death…

Xiao Fan waved his hand, ignored the Golden-Haired Lion, and turned back to the Secret Room.

The Golden-Haired Lion watched Xiao Fan's departing back, its eyes filled with complexity…

It had finally thought it was being clever for once, knowing to store food, but it turned out Xiao Fan came back early!

If it could speak, it would really want to ask if Xiao Fan was deliberately messing with it!

Returning to the Secret Room, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged.

His brows smoothed out, then furrowed…

"Cursed by the Heavens…"

After hearing Sect Master Wu Xinjue's description, he always had a bad premonition.

His mood was terrible; there was no need to think about it, this definitely wasn't a good thing!

Then he raised his left arm, and a look of joy appeared on his face again; it felt better to have both hands.

Having only one hand was just too inconvenient.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. After all, according to Sect Master Wu Xinjue's meaning, even if I am cursed by the Heavens, it will only appear when breaking through a major Realm."

Xiao Fan muttered to himself, comforting himself… He felt that with his current strength, thinking about those things was useless.

He stood up, exhaled, and circulated the Stars Shifting Cultivation Technique…

"Whoosh"…

His figure instantly vanished, and the next moment, he teleported to a place thirty meters away…

"Although the consumption has increased… the distance for Shadow Shifting is indeed further."

A look of joy appeared on Xiao Fan's face. Previously, as his strength increased, the distance for Shadow Shifting had also increased, but it wasn't significant.

At most, it could only reach fifteen meters away.

But now, he could already teleport to a place thirty meters away.

The benefits were self-evident…

Shadow Shifting was definitely a divine skill for sneak attacks and escaping!

Before this, Xiao Fan could only be considered to have just entered the doorway of the Stars Shifting Cultivation Technique; it was still a long way from Major Achievement.

After all, his Realm was too low.

After adapting to Stars Shifting, inside the Secret Room.

Xiao Fan formed the Throat-Crushing Lock hand seal with his right hand… golden light flared…

He violently struck out into the air…

Next, he used Six Harmonies Slash, slashing horizontally into the air.

Without stopping, he continued to use Samsara Fist!

Xiao Fan's strongest killing move at present!

Golden light flickered, and the dazzling radiance lit up the entire Secret Room.

The fist struck empty air, and although it was only aimed at the air, it shook the entire Immortal Cave…

Finally. After finishing the Samsara Fist, Xiao Fan stopped.

He exhaled, his face slightly flushed…

"With my current strength, the consumption for Throat-Crushing Lock and Six Harmonies Slash is no longer large, but their power seems a bit weak now. The consumption for Samsara Fist is large, but in a normal fight, it's no problem to use it three times for now."

Xiao Fan had a rough assessment of his own strength.

After reaching the Tongtian Realm, his most intuitive feeling at the moment was.

His spiritual power was much stronger than before.

The Huaqi Realm and the Tongtian Realm were simply not to be mentioned in the same breath!

Xiao Fan even had the urge to find a powerhouse at the 5th Layer of the Tongtian Realm to spar with.

As for the 4th Layer of the Tongtian Realm… unless it was a Prodigy Genius… otherwise he wouldn't look at them at all.

Feeling that his strength had clearly improved, Xiao Fan's face was full of smiles.

He exhaled and his Divine Sense entered the star chart.

He swallowed some first-grade Medicinal Pills he had refined himself to recover his spiritual power.

Next, he was going to break through and raise his cultivation to the Middle Stage of the 1st Layer of the Tongtian Realm!

The benefits brought to him by entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool this time were too many.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, and an hour later, his spiritual power had completely recovered…

He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flickered within them…

He moved his body slightly, exhaled, and closed his eyes again.

The aura on his body increased again and again…

In an instant, it reached the peak of his current strength.

However, everything had not stopped yet.

"Boom"…

A quarter of an hour later, a loud noise erupted within the Secret Realm.

Xiao Fan had broken through!

His cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the 1st Layer of the Tongtian Realm.

He opened his eyes again, his gaze even deeper than before…

"It seems that, as expected, only major Realms are difficult to break through, while minor Realms are very fast…"

There was no joy from the Breakthrough; instead, his mood was extremely heavy…

He felt that he was the kind of person Sect Master Wu Xinjue spoke of!

A person cursed by the Heavens!

Although he had comforted himself earlier not to think too much.

But was it possible not to think about such a thing?

Moreover, this wasn't about having enemies; it was that he was being targeted by the Heavens!
