Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Just as Xiao Fan was lost in thought, the system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Punishment complete."

Upon hearing the system's voice, Xiao Fan quickly opened his own panel to take a look.

......

Xiao Fan stared blankly at his own screen.

A third-grade alchemist? A three-star Dou Shi? 2000 Origin Coins? Is this the punishment I just mentioned?

My alchemy skills had been improving thanks to the system's rewards. When I passed through the Monster Mountain Range, I barely managed to refine a second-grade pill. But now, I've been directly rewarded with a major level.

Not only in alchemy, but also in strength, he has changed from a two-star Dou Shi to a three-star Dou Shi. Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and carefully asked the system.

"System, this... is this really correct?"

"Warning: Take it if I give it to you. Don't be so shameless."

The sudden sound was not the system's original mechanical voice, and Xiao Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Who? Who are you?"

The voice that had just spoken was hoarse and weary, like the sound of an old leather belt rubbing against each other for decades. The sudden sound startled Xiao Fan.

Combined with the sudden anomaly from the system, Xiao Fan was in a state of utter confusion.

"Could this be some old ghost trying to possess me?"

Xiao Fan thought to himself with deep concern.

In a chaotic space, a being whose entire body was suppressed by unknown rules roared.

"Damn it, possess you? With your small frame, I can't even handle a glance at you, let alone possess you."

"If I weren't stuck here right now, I'd show you why flowers are so red! Ah!"

Roaring, the chains of rules wrapped around his figure, obscuring his face. Even his roar was contained within this chaotic space.

Xiao Fan waited for a long time but found no change, and then said.

"Who cares? As long as the system is still around, I'll take advantage of it every day."

With this in mind, Xiao Fan wasn't so fixated on the system malfunction earlier. After all, he couldn't change anything right now, so he should just focus on developing his character first!

Looking at his own strength, which had already reached the level of a three-star Dou Shi, Xiao Fan grinned.

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that this misfortune would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing me to advance to a three-star Battle Master. That's some speed at which I level up..."

Opening his eyes and putting the system's anomaly behind him, Xiao Fan began to examine the valley where Little Fairy Doctor lived.

The environment is beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and it is also unusually quiet and undisturbed.

It is indeed a good place for cultivation. Unfortunately, my strength is basically obtained from the system. As long as the system does not have any accidents, I only need to follow the system on my path to becoming stronger.

In the distance, Xiao Fan spotted Little Fairy Doctor gathering herbs in the medicinal field.

The little fairy doctor, dressed in a white dress, bent down and carefully searched for the herbs she needed in the medicinal field.

On the open space nearby, the blue eagle was also resting.

Looking at this beautiful scene, Xiao Fan couldn't help but think.

"It wouldn't be bad to live in seclusion here in my spare time!"

Standing up, Xiao Fan walked towards the depths of the valley. Now that he was here, he naturally needed to figure out the surrounding environment. He would stay here for the time being and then head to the next place to cultivate!

......

While Xiao Fan and Little Fairy Doctor hid in the valley, in a secluded spot in the Monster Mountain Range...

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were also cultivating around a secluded waterfall.

"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!"

With a roar from Xiao Yan, a burst of intense red light shot out from the heavy Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand, slamming into the cascading waterfall.

"boom!"

With the outbreak of the Earth-rank combat skill, even the water flow of the waterfall was interrupted.

The intense heat even overwhelmed the long-lasting humidity of the area. The vegetation around the waterfall was also withered and scorched.

Pfft!

Xiao Yan fell into the pool below the waterfall, popped his head out of the water, looked at Yao Lao with surprise, and said joyfully.

"Teacher, I succeeded!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's excited face, Yao Lao couldn't help but feel proud. In just a few days, Xiao Yan had mastered the basics of Earth-rank fighting skills. Yao Lao was also very pleased with Xiao Yan's intelligence.

Looking at the joyful Xiao Yan, Yao Lao said softly.

"Now that you have a basic grasp of the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler, you should have realized that your physical condition is too poor at the moment, and your technique has not yet been upgraded, so it cannot support you to use it a second time. Therefore, you should not use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. He had only used the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler once, yet he could feel the tearing sensation in his body. This was the pressure caused by forcibly using a Di-rank fighting technique, which his meridians could not withstand. Moreover, the fighting spirit in his body was also swept away with the use of the fighting technique.

It is indeed not suitable to use the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the burden will be too great. If this move is used, one will be powerless to resist. If one cannot kill the opponent, one can only be slaughtered.

"We've been in the Monster Mountain Range for several days without any news of your senior brother. Let's continue deeper and search again..."

Chapter 40 Mastering the Purple Flame, Advancing to Four-Star Dou Shi

In a secluded valley, Xiao Fan and Little Fairy Doctor were each busy with their own cultivation journey.

Little Fairy Doctor was hiding in her thatched hut, studying her poison manual, while Xiao Fan was wandering around outside the valley.

It wasn't that Xiao Fan didn't want to cultivate, but rather that his cultivation path had always relied on the system. Now that the system had sensed a change, Xiao Fan felt a sense of fear and dared not cultivate.

Since that's the case, all we can do every day is have fun in the valley.

Sometimes she teases Little Blue, sometimes she takes care of the flowers and plants. She seems relaxed and carefree, but in reality, it is because of her inner turmoil.

Several days passed in this way, and Xiao Fan finally gradually shook off the shadow of that day.

Completely putting the system anomaly out of his mind, Xiao Fan believed that even without the system, with his Chaotic Flame Body and his cultivation techniques, he could still achieve great things on his own. As for ten years from now? He'd deal with that then.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan smiled nonchalantly.

"I'm just scaring myself. If I rely on the system for everything in this other world, wouldn't I miss out on all the wonderful things along the way?"

Having reaffirmed his resolve, Xiao Fan found a sunny spot, sat cross-legged, and began to feel the fighting spirit within his body.

Ever since the system malfunctioned and promoted him to a three-star Dou Shi, Xiao Fan had been pondering the reason for the so-called anomaly in the system. Hearing that the reason was what the system said, it must be because he destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

In other words, interfering with the plot to some extent would cause system malfunctions, but thinking back to what happened with Yunzhi in the Monster Mountain Range, it didn't cause any system failures, and I even got my own exclusive mission.

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Fan stopped dwelling on it and focused on cultivating. The system was just a shortcut on his path of cultivation; without shortcuts, he would simply walk the right path earnestly.

After consolidating his strength as a three-star Dou Shi, Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and took out an item from his storage ring.

It was in the Monster Mountain Range that the companion amethyst source was obtained from the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Fan carefully opened the bottle cap after taking out a bottle of companion amethyst source.

Xiao Fan immediately sensed that the fire element particles in the surrounding air had also become active.

Looking at the accompanying amethyst source in his hand, Xiao Fan licked his lips.

"As expected of a supreme fire-attribute companion treasure, just by stimulating the activity of the surrounding fire attribute, it can attract countless fire attribute cultivators."

It's important to know that finding a suitable cultivation location is not easy, but the accompanying amethyst source light, which exists in the air, can activate the fire attribute energy around the body, essentially providing a natural cultivation place for fire attribute cultivators.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Fan carefully dipped a small amount of the accompanying amethyst source into a thin twig and put it into his mouth.

Xiao Fan then felt a rich fire-attribute power emanating from his mouth, flowing down his throat, through his lungs, and then throughout his limbs as he circulated his battle qi.

Even the fighting spirit within his body felt slightly enhanced.

Upon opening the panel, I noticed a slight change in my strength rating.

Strength: Three-star Battle Master (3011000) Third-grade Alchemist (3001000)

Its strength rating increased from 300 to 301.

Back when he obtained the system, Xiao Fan's strength was already quantified. That is to say, he would advance every time his progress bar broke through 100. Now, with just a drop of the accompanying amethyst source, he had improved by a little bit. Don't underestimate this little bit of improvement. It means that Xiao Fan can completely improve his strength in this way.

Doesn't that mean that if I continue to absorb it, I can become even stronger?

Xiao Fan was overjoyed and picked up the bottle in his hand, carefully taking a small sip.
