Chapter 4: Side Mission

“Okay.” Jun Changxiao smiled. “If I die, the position of sect leader will be yours.”

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist. Three resplendent aureoles gradually appeared on his wrist.

Cultivators on the Fallen Star Continent would cause an aureole to appear on their wrist for each stage of the Meridian Opening Realm they are at whenever they exerted their spirit force.

“Haha.”

“Someone who just opened up three meridians. This sect leader of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is really a newbie!”

“I wonder where he gets the courage to face us, given that we’re all at the fourth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.”

The disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect mockingly laughed.

From their point of view, even for the sect leader of a ninth-grade sect, one must at least have a cultivation base at the Martial Apprentice Realm.

Being a sect leader with a cultivation base at the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm?

This was simply a gigantic joke.

Jun Changxiao narrowed his eyes. “Just the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm is sufficient to deal with you.”

“Is that so?”

The three disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect unleashed their spirit qi as four aureoles appeared on their wrists.

Ze ze.

So, they were all at the fourth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

No wonder they had approached him so arrogantly, daring to look for trouble.

“Brat.” Senior Brother Li’s lips curled into a smile. “If you kneel down and beg for mercy, our Spirit Spring Sect still can give you some face considering the fact that you are a sect leader. We will pretend that nothing ever happened.”

Ding!

“Side mission unlocked!

Upon hearing the system notification sound, Jun Changxiao was astonished.

When he opened the interface, he could see that the space below the main mission panel now had another panel. This panel was for the side missions. There was currently only one side mission there.

“Handle the disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect who are intent on provoking you: 0/4.”

Damn.

There is still a side mission?

“Side missions can only be triggered by unique conditions,” the system said. “If you complete them, you can obtain a certain amount of sect contribution points.”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes brightened.

If he wanted to develop the sect, he had to grow stronger.

To grow stronger, one of the ways was to depend on the merchandise from the sect merchant store. All these items could only be purchased using contribution points!

Since there was an extra mission and it would allow him to obtain contribution points, he naturally wanted to do it!

Jun Changxiao coldly said, “Kneel down? You must have lost your sanity.”

Swish!

As the sound of his voice faded, his right hand clenched into a fist and blasted over.

This strike was swift and ruthless!

This sect leader of mine doesn’t seem to be weak, Lu Qianqian excitedly mused.

“Courting death!” Senior Brother Li coldly shouted. He lifted his fist and blasted over in response.

Boom!

The two fists collided. Slight waves of vibration manifested in the air.

This was generated from the collusion of spirit qi.

From Jun Changxiao’s memories, experts with high cultivation bases could even shatter space when they used spirit qi to fight.

Thump, thump, thump!

Senior Brother Li explosively retreated several steps back before regaining his balance. His right fist had become swollen.

“Despicable!” He was angered and puzzled. “How can someone at the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm possess such strength?”

Swish!

Jun Changxiao stepped forward. “Because I’m the sect leader.”

Rumble!

Thump, thump, thump!

Senior Brother Li explosively retreated again. He fell to the ground, and waves of pain could be felt on his chest, which had suffered a punch from Jun Changxiao earlier. His expression could not help but become malevolent.

Ding!

“Handle the disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect who are intent on provoking you: 1/4!”

Upon seeing the change in numbers of the side mission data, Jun Changxiao mumbled in astonishment, “I completed one part of it just like that?”

“Despicable!” Senior Brother Li actually lost all his combat strength from a single punch. He endured the pain and roared, “Rush him!”

Swish!

Swish!

The other three disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect moved out in unison.

Jun Changxiao calmly said, “Depending on your superior numbers? How shameless!”

“Humph.”

“Trash becoming a sect leader is the greatest shame and humiliation!”

Although the three disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect were doing something shameful like attacking one person with their superiority in numbers, they showed no signs of stopping.

“Nice, nice!” Jun Changxiao spoke coldly. “Since you guys are so shameless, don’t blame this seat for being merciless today.”

As he spoke, a qi wave gushed forth from his body as the aureoles on his hands became five!

“Fifth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm!”

“How how can this be possible”

The three disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect widened their eyes.

After seeing the five aureoles on Jun Changxiao’s wrist, shock also appeared in Lu Qianqian’s beautiful eyes.

When she joined the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, she had felt that the sect leader’s cultivation was at most at the second stage. She was already taken aback when strength at the third stage erupted from him. And now that he displayed might at the fifth stage, it felt unfathomable to her.

The original Jun Changxiao’s cultivation base was only at the second stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

But Jun Changxiao, who had crossed over to this world, managed to easily break through to the fifth stage by depending on the experience charm.

This cultivation base could not be considered anything in the Fallen Star Continent, but it was more than enough to deal with those at the fourth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Swish!

Jun Changxiao moved over.

He infused spirit force into his right fist and blasted with it, directly sending a dazed disciple of the Spirit Stream Sect flying.

Ding!

“Handle the disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect who are intent on provoking you: 2/4!”

“A bunch of trash like you dare act arrogantly before this seat? You guys truly don’t know what’s good for you!”

Jun Changxiao slammed his fist out again, sending another disciple of the Spirit Stream Sect flying.

Ding!

“Handle the disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect who are intent on provoking you: 3/4!”

Jun Changxiao, who had depended on the experience charm to reach the fifth stage, could easily bully these disciples who were at the fourth stage.

Seeing his comrades being sent flying, the last remaining disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect hurriedly retreated.

“You won’t be able to flee.”

Jun Changxiao strode forth and punched.

Bang!

The last disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect flew through the air before landing dispiritedly on the ground.

Ding!

“Handle the disciples from the Spirit Spring Sect who are intent on provoking you: 4/4!”

Ding!

“Congratulations to host for completing the side mission. Host has obtained 4 sect contribution points.”

Ding!

“Sect contribution points: 4/100”

Jun Changxiao opened the sect attributes panel and saw that his sect contribution points had risen to four. His lips then curled up into a radiant smile.

Although the reward was small, it was better than nothing.

Pak!

Jun Changxiao clapped his hands. “Why are you guys not scramming yet?”

“Just as the mountains are unchanging and the streams are flowing, we will meet again in the future!”

Senior Brother Li climbed to his feet with difficulty. After tossing out that sentence, he took his three junior brothers with him as they fled in a miserable state.

“Senior brothers, wait for me!”

The cultivator with the green head-cloth chased after them in a panic.

This guy most probably did not expect that the apprentice brothers he found to help him would be so easily handled by that fellow.

The conflict was settled after Jun Changxiao used his true strength. In addition, he also completed the side mission and obtained four contribution points. It could be considered a windfall.

“You should have killed them to remove all future sources of trouble,” Lu Qianqian said.

Jun Changxiao speechlessly said, “There’s no need to be so cruel, right?”

As someone from Earth who had received higher education, he truly did not feel the impulse to kill someone due to some minor conflict.

Lu Qianqian calmly replied, “In the Fallen Star Continent where the weak are eaten by the strong, being merciful to enemies is the greatest cruelty to oneself. If you don’t even know this, you are not qualified to be the sect leader.”

Jun Changxiao fell silent.

She was right.

He was no longer someone from Earth; he was someone from the Fallen Star Continent.

In this place, strength reigned supreme. The weak were food for the strong. Being merciful to enemies was equivalent to being cruel to himself.

Ding!

While he was contemplating, a voice rang out in his ears. “Side mission unlocked!”

Another mission’s been triggered?

Jun Changxiao hurriedly pulled out the side mission panel.

The content of the mission in it was displayed.

‘Use logic to educate Lu Qianqian while maintaining the prestige of a sect leader!’

What the hell is this mission? Jun Changxiao felt a little stupefied.

But he soon seemed to have understood something. He silently mused, Lu Qianqian is a disciple. Saying such words to me makes it seem like she’s lecturing me. In that case, where’s my prestige as the sect leader?
