Farming Souls

Lin Fang's expression turned ugly, "My looks are more of a curse than a blessing!"

He then sighed in disappointment, "Looks like I don't have any spirit roots, not even the trashiest roots that are given to every protagonist"

He looked up at the heavens in anger, "It's fine if you hate me but why are you using such dirty tactics? no talent and an immortal appearance is a deadly combination!"

[Ding, reward generation successful. you can choose one of the following rewards:]

[1-cultivation realm at 18 years old]

[2-combat experience at 18 years old]

[3-green grade talent Sword genius]

"I choose Sword Genius", he said without hesitation.

In the next moment, Lin Fang felt the urge to start swinging a sword, but looking at the saber on his waist, he felt a pang of disappointment, "I need to find a sword, with this new talent and a sword the falling star blade would be way more destructive"

The falling Star Blade is a very unique martial technique, unlike other techniques that need a certain weapon to be used, The Falling Star Blade can even be used with a simple finger. Though, the destructiveness depends on the user's mastery of the said weapon.

Lin Fang even has a feeling that this technique may not become obsolete once he enters the path of cultivation.

"Time to start farming", Lin Fang's expression turned mischievous as he took a handful of dirt and smeared it all over his face and clothes before slowly walking toward White Stone City, each of his steps strangely propelling him dozens of feet away.

At the front gate of White Stone City; one of the biggest hubs of the Radiant Sun Empire, caravans were slowly and thoroughly getting inspected before entering the city, The scene was surprisingly silent as people didn't even dare to breathe too loudly in fear of offending the arrogant city guards.

A tall guard looked at the family of four shivering in front of him, his sharp gaze inspecting each one of them, before stopping at a young lady who in his eyes, despite wearing such cheap and dirty clothes, was at the level of a jade beauty.

He turned to an armored guard next to him with a knowing smile, "Brother Ming, something is off about this young lady, I suspect she is trying to smuggle something into the city"

The guard named Ming locked his gaze onto the pale young lady, licking his lips he nodded, "Brother Zhu's eyes are as sharp as knives, there is indeed something off about this lady", he beckoned to the lady "Come with me!"

The family's faces paled as an old man among them walked up to the guard holding a pouch of clinking coins in his shaking hand, "Lord Zhu, please let us through. Our family are mere farmers from Clear River Village and my daughter definitely isn't smuggling anything"

The guard's eyes turned ice cold as he slapped away the pouch making the bronze coins fly everywhere, "you dare to bribe your way into White Stone City?".

The other guard also emitted his 2nd rank of martial art pressure making the old man spit out a mouthful of blood and collapse on the floor.

"I-I will go with you... please just let my family through", the young lady's eyes were filled with tears as she walked up to the tall guard.

The guard merely snorted and took her to the inspection room before letting her family through.

"NEXT!"

...

The guard inspected the fidgety young man before him, his eyes slowly morphing from disdain to jealousy as he noticed that the young man was still exceptionally handsome despite his facial features being almost hidden by the thick layer of dirt on his face.

"10 silver coins", he stated with a cold tone, an ugly smirk already starting to appear on his face.

"10 SILVER COINS??" Lin Fang roared, "Don't you dare bully the young and poor!"

The guard was dumbfounded, this young man was roaring at the top of his lungs instead of begging on his knees to be let through. It was his first time seeing someone so retarded!

Lin Fang turned to the crowd of people behind him, continuing with a loud voice, "Everyone, this guard is as corrupt as a demon and thinks that he can defy the heavens! Just because I'm handsome he wants me to pay 100 times the entry fee!"

The silent scene instantly turned chaotic as loud exclamations rang out.

"Let the poor young man through!"

"Who do you think you are??"

"Look at that bastard's face! I think that 100 times the entry fee is reasonable"

"SILENCE!", The tall guard roared his 2nd rank martial arts pressure forcefully silencing everyone and even making the weaker ones fall on their knees.

"for inciting chaos at the front gate of the city, you will be executed!", he said with a cold tone before unsheathing his sword and charging at Lin Fang.

~DING

~DING

~DING

...

[20 beings with killing intent have been detected. Host is advised to take action]

"Your wish is my command", Lin Fang flashed a bloodthirsty smile as he cracked his knuckles.

Just when everyone was feeling pity for the young man, an eerie scene unfolded before their eyes, the head of the guard fell on the ground with a loud thud, while his body continued charging for a couple of steps before losing its momentum and crashing to the ground. 

Gasps echoed out as the crowd's widened eyes turned toward the young man who was shockingly only holding a bloodied tree leaf.

The young man crouched before disappearing with a cloud of dust.

BANG BANG BANG

Each time he appeared a head rolled indicating the demise of a city guard.

After killing the 20 guards with ill intent he simply sat down cross-legged and stated, "I, Lin Fang do not promote chaos or violence but I cannot tolerate people throwing stones down a well! I will wait here for an honest guard to grant me entry"

The surrounding people were dumbfounded, 'throwing stones down a well? does he really think he is some poor young man getting bullied?? If with his strength he is still getting bullied then we might as well kill ourselves by smashing our heads with a piece of tofu'
