Chapter 9 Martial Artist 8th Stage

"Well, at least I have mastered both techniques to Medium proficiency; soon I will reach High mastery, then Top artistic conception," Lin Lee muttered intriguingly. He felt very interested in cultivation; these exercises and techniques are very fun. Nothing is more enjoyable than feeling his strength increasing by leaps and bounds.

Exercise proficiency is divided into four stages: Basic, Proficiency, Mastery, and Artistic Conceptions.

"Grrr! Www!!!"

Instantly, a beast's roar echoed in his ears. Lin Lee became alert, looking in the direction of the sound. A huge shadow emerged, revealing a beast looked like bear with a body over six meters in size, dark brown spiky hair, and a ferocious face.

Feeling the ferocious beast aura in the surrounding,

'6th level beast, Earth Bear' Lin Lee thought to himself, observing the bear's features, seeing sharp three golden claw's attached to it's paw's,

Beast glared at Lin Lee angrily, it raised its claw to attack.

Feather Step!!!

With a swift move, Lin Lee evaded.

Shing!!!

His body flickered and disappeared, and instantly the cliff area where he stood was cleaved into three sections, falling below into the canyon in layers.

Lin Lee's figure displaced aside looking at the clean section of the cliff, took a deep breath, 'Such high damage, it's just 6th level bear.'

"Grwwwwww" Beast roared again angrily, raised it's both claw's at Lin Lee direction.

Attacked, Instantly six long brown slashes ejected, Lin Lee felt sharpness, his expression become calm then muttered, "Well test time is over."

Feather Step!

Few after images flashed, Lin Lee instantly appeared behind the bear and he punched, beast backbone.

Nine Echo Fist!!!

Waves of aura crashed onto the bear's backbone, cracking it, and the next second, its entire front chest burst open from the five constant aura attack waves, its internal organs became a mess.

Thud!!!

The bear roared agonizingly before its corpse fell to the ground, dust scattering around.

Lin Lee retracted his fist thoughtfully, examining the huge corpse. 'It was easier to kill this monster than I thought. Maybe it's because I am already a 7th level martial artist, and this beast was only 6th level,' he nodded thoughtfully.

Putting away the corpse in the bead space, which had now been upgraded to a 7 cubic meter space due to his 7th level strength.

His Bead Spirit space increases along with his strength, and his control range of nanobots' spirit also expanded; now he can control them in 7 meter range.

Looking at the dark black gloves made from nanobots on his hands, "I have to learn the use of nanobots in this world. Although physical ammo doesn't affect martial artists in this civilization, I can try creating weapons that can use my personal aura as ammo instead of any physical ammo, like those energy weapons. It seems i have to do a lot of research next." Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully.

As he glanced at the sunset, he turned and returned to the Lin family, heading towards his personal courtyard.

"Come on, you bitch, young master Nan wants to give you a chance. Why are you rejecting it?" Lin Lee raised his brow, listening to the commotion near his courtyard, he walked toward it,

Looking at Lin Ning and a few servants standing in the courtyard Hall, his expression turned cold.

He then glanced at Meng Yu, who was sitting on the ground, with one of the male servants grabbing her hair and mocking her while slapping her face.

Feature step!!!

Instantly appearing in front of the servant, amidst the changing expressions of everyone, Lin Lee punched his chest expressionlessly.

Nine Echo Fist!!!

"Ahhh!" The servant flew back, blood flowing from his eyes and nostrils.

Lin Ning and the other servants were shocked as the servant flew toward them. Before they could react, the fast figure collided with them.

"Puff!"

All of them spurted blood, including Lin Ning, who flew far away with twisted arm. Aura scattered around in whole courtyard.

"Oh, I thought this punch would kill you all. I shouldn't have held back," Lin Lee said expressionlessly.

"Ahhh, bastard Lin Lee, how dare you abolish me? I will kill you," Lin Ning said, grabbing his twisted arm feeling pain in his meridian he sat paralyzed on the ground, his bloody eyes widened in pain and hatred as he looked at Lin Lee, then glanced at his few servants who had died and others who were seriously injured extremely miserable. Fear flashed through his eyes.

Step!!

Lin Lee walked toward them calmly and said, "If you survive, then I don't mind you trying killing me."

Lin Ning and the other servants' eyes widened in fear as they watched Lin Lee approach.

"Forgive us, young master, please spare our lives," the servants began to beg moving on the ground.

"Lin Lee, my father will not let you go. If you dare to lay a finger on me," Lin Ning warned, backing away slowly, suppressing his fear.

Lin Lee's mouth curved as he raised his hand, releasing the nanobots.

A huge shadow appeared beside Lin Lee on the ground, resembling an irregular liquid dark slime moving around.

Lin Ning and his surviving servant froze, looking at dark liquid shape creature, their heart sank, a shiver rushed through their spine. 'What is this?' A throught flashed through their mind.

Instantly, huge tentacles ejected and shot at their directiom, piercing and shrouding those dead servant's bodies, slowly devouring them as they melted and merged with the nanobots.

Looking at the tentacles-like black entity progressing toward them, devouring the servant corpses along with their clothes, a chill spread through the remaining servants' hearts, including Lin Ning's.

"Ahhhh"

"Forgive"

"Spare, Yo ...."

Instantly, the remaining servants were devoured alive amidst their cries.

"Lin Lee, please forgive me. It was all Lin Nan's doing. He asked me to do it, to bring your maid to him. I won't dare anymore," Lin Ning cried like a child, tears and snot flowing from his eyes and nose as he begged, watching all his servants being consumed by this unknown entity, leaving only him behind.

As he looked at the tentacles halting in front of him their hideous tips are rotating, his soul amost flew away because of fright,

Looking at them no more attacking him,

Lin Ning sighed in relief. Then resentment and hatred flashed through his heart.

'Once I leave this courtyard, I will let my father kill this scourge at all cost,'

Lin Lee appeared beside him, observing his expression, a smile playing on his lips said. "Well, giving hope before despair to someone like you is more refreshing than the highest achievement in life."

Lin Ning's face changed, looking at wicked smile on Lin Lee face, drill pierced through his body, his arm and leg started disappearing slowly.

He shouted in despair and hatred, " Arghhh, You are a demon, Lin Lee! I will be waiting for you in hell. My brother and father will take revenge."

Lin Lee's face became expressionless as he looked at him. "The Lin Lee you knew is dead, and I don't mind burying the Lin family with him."

"Y-you???" Lin Ning's eyes widened as he looked into the abyss-like gaze of Lin Lee. Horror shrouded his heart. 'He is not Lin Lee. This monster! Who is he?' The nanobots shrouded his head, and darkness engulfed his confused soul.

"I didn't feel any discomfort killing them, it feels similar to killing that monster." Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully.

Then he felt his physical strength and martial aura increasing at alarming rate, surprising him, he hurriedly sat crossed legged, also heaven and earth aura rushed toward him from the surrounding.

Feeling the rushing aura and blood energy in his body.

This was one of the benefits of the nanobots' third function: devouring and energy conversion. They can also devour living organisms and complement him.

Instantly his body shook, dense red blood scabs appeared on his body all blood in his body ejected out, his body started producing the new blood.

Then under his control nanobots moved around his body, those scab fell around, were cleared by nanobots along with other evidence around, restoring the whole courtyard as before.

8th Level Martial Artist, Achieved.

Lin Lee opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face thoughtfully checked his strength, 'I didn't expect these nanobots would empower me, let me breakthrough 8th stage. Anyway, I was already on the verge of break through.'

Also, Lin Lee felt something change in the nanobots after devouring Lin Ning's Martial Spirit.

He raised his hand, and a black folding fan appeared, purely made by nanobots. Amazingly, it had all the functions Lin Ning's folding fan spirit had.

"So my nanobots can devour martial spirit's," Lin Lee muttered intriguingly. Looking at the folding fan in his hand, he waved it.

Wind Tornado!

Instantly producing a small tornado rotating in the air with wind aura in front of him. 'Also, I gained the wind attribute after devouring this martial spirit,' he thought intriguingly.

Then he retracted all the nanobots inside the bead space and walked towards Meng Yu, who was sitting there in a daze, looking at him a little timidly.

Lin Lee rubbed her head, which makes her blush, then said, "Meng Yu, it is our secret. You must not tell anyone."

Meng Yu startled, then realized what Lin Lee was referring to, and nodded cleverly. "Yes, young master. I will definitely not tell anyone, even if I die."

Lin Lee nodded, then took her hand let her stand up and walked inside the courtyard. Nanobots appeared on Meng Yu's red face, and white knees healing her bruises and injuries, returning her face and body to normal.

"Well you can go inside your room, also no need to leave the courtyard for few days." Lin Lee then instructed calmly. Meng Yu nodded and walked away.

'Next I have to deal with the aftermath.' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking Meng Yu back deeply,

'Also, it is my Intuition or illusion, she feels different, very calm through the whole incident. Normally maid's wouldn't react like that.'

Then shook his head returned to his room.
