Defeating A Middle Rank 1 Warrior and Killing Rank 1 Demon Beast
After he got his sword back, Trevon planned to complete his missions. Since he was nearby to the demon beast market, Trevon decided to complete Master Rabbink missions first.
"Let us go to the beast market!" Trevon said.
"Yes, Young Master." Jerry answered.
They went to the demon beast market. Trevon led his group to visit a store under McArthur brand.
"Welcome, Young Master!" The manager received Trevon.
"I am looking for a very weak and frail Middle Rank 1 Demon Beast." Trevon asked the manager. "Do not forget, I want the cheapest one!"
"Eh?" The manager was confused. Nobody would want demon beast like that. He looked into Jack and Jerry.
Jack and Jerry could only smile bitterly. Their young master was strange.
"I will find the demon beast for you, Young Master!" The manager answered.
McArthur store was one of the best demon beast stores in the market. Of course, he wouldn't have those weak and frail demon beasts. Luckily, he had lots of connections with other demon beast merchants. There would be some that die every day.
Trevon was waiting in a special room. He looked into Jerry before checked his mission again.
[Lv 5 Master Rabbink Mission: Defeat a Middle Rank 1 warrior.]
[Mission Reward: Master Rabbink will add 1st Mortal Rank Silver Star Plucking cultivation technique on the Universe Store.]
[Mission Description: Master Rabbink want an interesting event for its story. You should defeat a middle Rank 1 warrior. Gwahahaha.]
"Jerry, you are a middle Rank 1 warrior. Right?" He asked.
"Yes, Young Master." Jerry answered. He didn't know why their young master asked this question.
"Now turn your body!" Trevon ordered. He went closer to Jerry.
"Yes!" Jerry turned his body.
"Flame Punch!" Trevon quickly attacked Jerry. He didn't allow Jerry to react. Who would believe his own young master would attack him?
Jerry was quickly defeated. It was another flame punch from Trevon that ended his struggle.
[Hey! I just defeated a Middle Rank 1 warrior.] Trevon complained. He didn't hear the complete notification.
"This doesn't count!" Master Rabbink felt cheated. It wanted a balanced fight between Trevon and another Middle Rank 1 warrior. It would be a good fight that would increase its novel popularity.
[I am just doing this as your mission.] Trevon explained.
"Hmph..." Master Rabbink felt cheated. [I need to make sure the mission would be more detailed next time.] It decided.
[Lv 5 Master Rabbink Mission: Defeat a Middle Rank 1 warrior.]
[Mission completed.]
[1st Mortal Rank Silver Star Plucking cultivation technique is added to the Universe Store.]
Trevon quickly used his 'I Am A customer' to enter the Universe Store.
He went to the lesson section, but he didn't find the cultivation technique.
[Where is the cultivation technique?] Trevon asked.
"It is in cultivation technique aisle." Master Rabbink voice was heard.
[Oh! Ok.] Trevon didn't know the store had a special aisle for cultivation technique.
Trevon arrived in the cultivation technique aisle. He found a book.
Trevon picked the book and a new information was shown in his head.
[1st Mortal Rank Silver Star Plucking Cultivation Technique.]
[Description: This is the first part of Silver Star Plucking cultivation technique. It was created a billion years ago by a genius cultivator from Thousand Art Universe. The creator created this technique after being inspired by seeing a falling star. Please do not think to pluck something else!]
[Selling Price: 10.000.000 Energy]
[What?] Trevon was surprised with the price. It was 10.000 spirit stones. [Are you crazy?]
"Why?" Master Rabbink didn't feel anything wrong.
[That is 10.000 spirit stones worth energy for only the first level.] Trevon cried.
"This is a top cultivation technique in your universe." Master Rabbink said.
[What is the price for its 2nd level?] Trevon felt afraid.
"It is simple, 1.000.000.000 Energy. Each higher level would be 100 times more expensive." Master Rabbink easily said.
[This is a robbery.] Trevon complained.
"No, it isn't." Master Rabbink denied. "Remember, it is one of the top cultivation techniques from countless cultivation techniques. Don't you know how hard for one to be under a master guidance?" Master Rabbink defended itself.
[But this cultivation technique is just the first part, and it could only be used once.] Trevon said.
"Yup! Now consider, if one wanted to learn your McArthur family cultivation technique. How many dangerous missions would one need to do before he could learn the cultivation technique?"
[You can't get the family cultivation technique.] Trevon said. His family cultivation technique was one of the best. Only a direct descendant could get the cultivation technique. This cultivation technique was the reason McArthur Family could become one of the top great family on the continent.
"See? 10.000.000 energy is very cheap. There would be many people who would pay 10.000 spirit stones just to learn this technique." Master Rabbink said.
[It is only a copy of the cultivation technique. Why do you price it so expensive? You could duplicate so many copies.] Trevon complained.
"Hey! I add some corrections on this cultivation technique." Master Rabbink defended its price. "I have improved it so you could learn it 3 to 10 times faster than the original. This Rabbink also improved the energy accumulation. Therefore, if someone learns this cultivation technique, he or she would have more energies than the art creator." Master Rabbink proudly said this.
"If you don't want, you should not purchase it." Master Rabbink declared that it was non-negotiable.
[Do you have a 'price negotiation skill with a rabbink' lesson?] Trevon felt he needed to learn this skill.
"I do, but it won't have any effect on a God Rabbink like me. Gwahahaha."
[I mean for a God Rabbink.]
"Of course, I have." Master Rabbink proudly declared. "However, based on your current cultivation to unlock the very very very basic lesson would require you to defeat the strongest pig on this universe."
[I think I could do that.] Trevon was confident fighting with a pig.
[Special Master Rabbink Mission Unlocked.]
[Lv 274 Master Rabbink Mission: Defeat the number 1 pig in the Thousand Art, Divine Thundering Shattering Earth Boar in Divine Realm.]
[Mission Reward: Master Rabbink will add Very Very Very Basic Lesson on Negotiating with A God Rabbink on the Universe Store.]
[Special Mission rejected.]
[Do you really want to kill me?] Trevon believed that this Rabbink was a sadist. Only from the name and mission level, Trevon knew the difficulty.
"Wow! Look the skill at full mastery would give you a 1% discount on the future transactions between you and any God Rabbink. This is a fair price. Imagine how many transactions you will do in my store!" Master Rabbink proudly said. It only had a 1% share in the Universe Store. If the sales price was reduced by 1% that would cut a huge amount of its personal profit.
Trevon felt a loss of words. He was better not to think about some discount. The mission would cost him his life. Life is more important than money.
If the price was 10.000 spirit stones for the first rank, he needed to carefully give the lesson. He could not teach all his followers with such expensive spirit stones. At this price, he would need to reward higher level cultivation only to his loyal followers.
[What is the price for the 3rd level and 4th level?] Trevon wanted to make sure.
"Every increased would be 100 times more. It is very cheap. Imagine if your grandfather was offered the cultivation technique for the Rank 4." Master Rabbink said.
[OK.] Trevon couldn't deny Master Rabbink.
If someone asked his grandfather 10 billion spirit stones for a Rank 4 cultivation technique, his grandfather definitely would purchase it. As an important elder of the McArthur family for a long time, he had huge assets. The higher one's rank, the more resources one would get but the more expensive the price of the useful treasures for him/hers.
[Do you have cheaper cultivation arts? I just want them to reach their potential. They couldn't reach divine realm.] Trevon said.
"You can just purchase the 1st to 4th level." Master Rabbink said. "All cultivations techniques I sell are the top of the top. I would never useless or broken cultivation techniques. Even the useless would be turned into a diamond in this Rabbink's hand."
[I don't ask for something worse. I am asking for something cheaper. Don't tell me you don't have that!] Trevon satirized Master Rabbink.
"Who said I don't have? This Rabbink had everything." Master Rabbink thought of something. "I have a cheaper technique. It was 50% less expensive than other cultivation techniques. The name was Demonic 1 Trillion Death cultivation arts." Master Rabbink said.
[What is that technique?] Trevon asked. He felt there was something wrong with this product.
"You would need to kill to cultivate the martial arts. If you kill a billion cultivators, you could reach Rank 4. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink tried to laugh evilly.
[Are you a crazy rabbink?] Trevon thought. If one of his subordinates killed that many people, he would become a public enemy number 2 after the subordinate.
"This is why I would never suggest you this cultivation technique."
[Don't you have anything else?]
"I do, but... every cheaper technique had a drawback." Master Rabbink said.
[Then give me something for Jonathan with a not so heavy drawback.] Trevon said. [I want those with 100 times cheaper. Don't say you don't have?]
"Hey! You are the crazy man! You want something that cheap?" Master Rabbink complained. "Where do you buy a Rank 1 cultivation art for 100 spirit stones?"
[There is the Imperial Soldier cultivation art.] Trevon defended himself. It was a freely available cultivation technique for military members.
"I have that art. I even had perfected it. Therefore, it costs 10.000.000 energy for the first level."
[Then what are my options?]
"I could suggest these 4 other cultivation arts." Master Rabbink said. It had too many that he couldn't mention all of them in a few hundred chapters. Because of this Master Rabbink reduced the option to just 4.
"The first one is a Heavenly Night Owl cultivation technique. It would just require the cultivator to stop sleeping. The more a person stop sleeping the faster this cultivation technique work. The technique used the stress after unable to sleep for a long time. It starts with 8.000.000 energy."
[I might consider this.] Trevon thought. [I am not the one who won't sleep.]
"The second one is a City Raiding Beggar cultivation technique. The more one gets money from begging, the faster this cultivation technique. This technique using the feeling of being able to trick good Samaritans. It starts with 9.500.000 energy."
[This is just a bit cheaper.] Trevon complained.
Master Rabbink felt displeasure. Trevon would master this technique easily. He kept begging for a cheaper art. [You get a bonus profession. Being a beggar is richer than common company employees.]
"You may be interested in the next cultivation technique. It is a 40% discount." Master Rabbink declared the selling point of this cultivation technique.
Trevon felt some interests in the cultivation technique.
"The cultivation technique is called Pure Yang Monk Body." Master Rabbink said.
[Does it mean the technique that could make you last over 10 fights in a night?] Trevon had heard about Pure Yang in the web novels he read. He was a bit interested to practice it too.
"Yes. It had THAT effect." Master Rabbink agreed. The cultivation technique would increase the person endurance.
[I want this technique for myself.] Trevon thought. [Why didn't I get this cultivation technique instead of Destiny Path?] Trevon complained.
"Well, you haven't heard the downside part." Master Rabbink said. "To cultivate this technique, the user needs to abstain from having a girlfriend or wife. The basis of this technique is to use the built-in pressure from being single. Gwahahaha. This also suited you."
[This is a useless cultivation technique. Why do you get increased endurance, but you could not use it?] Trevon thought. [However, I will just purchase it for Jonathan. At best he would just need to stay celibate for 200 years.] Trevon smirked.
"The last is the best." Master Rabbink said. "It has a 30% discount."
[Ok. That is good to hear.] Trevon thought. He only cared about the discount.
"The technique is called Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat." Master Rabbink said.
[I can imagine the drawback. The person would be fat.] Trevon thought.
"No, you are wrong. You can even become slimmer with this." Master Rabbink said. "This cultivation technique requires its cultivator to eat strange things. For example, to reach the first Rank the practitioner needs to eat paper and wood."
[Eh?] Trevon had never heard anything strange like this.
"The key point of this cultivation technique is to use the digestion energy to absorb the energy from the environment." Master Rabbink said. "So which technique you want to unlock?"
[I will just ask Jonathan, whether he wants to eat strange things or living a celibate life.] Trevon thought. [Master Rabbink, since I no longer want Nine Solar Dragon cultivation technique could you change the Rabbink Mission reward?].
"Changed into?" Master Rabbink asked.
[I want to change the reward to Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat cultivation technique.] Trevon made the decision. He believed Jonathan also would prefer eating strange thing than being celibate.
"This is Ok." Master Rabbink agreed. Since it was a lower level reward, of course, the Rabbink wouldn't reject.
[Special Mission rejected.]
[Special Master Rabbink Mission Unlocked.]
[Lv 5 Master Rabbink Mission: Kill a Middle Rank Demon Beast in Redwood forest.]
[Mission Reward: Master Rabbink will add 1st Mortal Rank Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat cultivation technique on the Universe Store.]
[Special Mission accepted.]
A series information appeared in Trevon's mind.
"Young Master, the weak demon beast is here." The store manager told Trevon.
"Good!" Trevon went outside and saw a leopard demon beast.
"ROAAAR!!!" The leopard roared to Trevon. It showed its fang to Trevon.
"Where can I see weak and frail in it?" Trevon complained. "Do you want me to report your incompetence to my uncle?"
"Is young master really looking for a weak one?" The manager was both surprised and afraid. He didn't believe their young master wanted something weak. So, he took a slight weaker Middle Rank 1 demon beast.
"Yes, I want sick, disable, herbivore, and if possible a rabbink could defeat it." Trevon said.
"Young master really wants something like that?" The manager was very surprised.
"Yes. Bring me one quickly! Do not forget I want it cheap!"
"Of course, Young Master." The manager quickly brought the leopard type demon beast away. Trevon waited another 15 minutes in the VIP room again.
"This is the weakest, I could find." The manager brought a lamb type demon beast. It couldn't even walk. Its horn already destroyed, perhaps it faced a brutal fight before it was captured.
Jack even believed a single punch from him and this demon beast would turn into steak.
"Good, I like this one." Trevon felt happy.
"This demon beast is only useful for its meat. However, it is an old and injured demon beast so it might not be tasty. I managed to get it for the lowest demon beast price. It is just 10 spirit stones." The manager said.
This was very cheap compared to its size. Since it was sick only poor cultivators would purchase its meat. Most adult demon beast in the market would be used for their meat. It was hard to tame adult demon beast.
Trevon quickly paid for the demon beast.
"I need some workers to bring it to Redwood Forest." Trevon said. He wouldn't be able to bring this 1-ton demon beast to the forest by himself.
"Yes, Young Master." The manager prepared some workers to bring the demon beast to the Redwood Forest.
"Do you want to use it for bait?" Jerry asked. "We will need some help if Young Master wants to capture some demon beasts."
"Yes, I want to capture a demon beast." Trevon said.
"We will need some help, Young Master." Jerry persuaded Trevon.
Jack also added. "I agree with Jerry, Young Master. We could never underestimate a demon beast."
"Do not count on me to help you in danger!" Master Rabbink warned Trevon. "You could use some help but not from this Rabbink."
"Do not worry! This is the demon beast that I want to capture." Trevon pointed to the weak demon beast on top of a beast carriage.
"Eh?" Jerry couldn't believe their young master words. [The demon beast had already been captured. Do young master wants to declare it as his catch?]
Jerry knew some young master would release and quickly hunt a demon beast again to appear brave and successful. However, this weak and frail demon beast wouldn't add any brave rumors for capturing it.
Trevon and the group quickly exited the city through the North Gate and went to the Redwood Forest. They used a man-pulled carriage to bring the demon beast back to the forest. The group passed several small villages on the way.
Those villages were the pioneers. They were the people who claimed the land from Demon Beasts. Opening a new land was cheaper than purchasing one in the city. It was the only way for poor people to have a home. There was usually a low-rank cultivator who led a village where they could boss around.
This was the first time Trevon entered the Redwood Forest. He had seen the forest from the distance. However, seeing the forest from a close distance made a far different view. Numerous red trees could be seen and from closer, Trevon also could see their trunk. Each of those trees had both red trunk and red leaves.
Trevon could smell the fresh and damp air. A rose-like smell could be smelled from the trees. Some people said that the woods here were used as a perfume ingredient.
Trevon saw the red leaves on the forest floor. Some small insects were living below it. His spiritual sense allowed him to check his surroundings. Jack and Jerry also kept their alerts.
The group every step made a clacking noise, sometimes the group could hear birds singing. Since it was in the outer ranger, they didn't see anything strange.
[This is the famous Redwood Forest.] Trevon thought.
"The trees are huge here." Trevon said.
"The tree inside the forest was even bigger, Young Master." One of the carriage pullers told Trevon.
"I see. Is this considered Redwood Forest?" He asked the driver.
"Yes, Young Master."
"Good. Here is enough. Stop the carriage!" Trevon said. He didn't want to go deeper, it was a dangerous moment in Redwood Forest.
The carriage stopped.
"Release the beast!" Trevon ordered. While it was cool, the weak beast barely able to stand. It started to stand and moved slowly toward the carriage exit.
The lamb type demon beast was shocked that it was released. [Thank Goat Beast God. Finally, I return to my birthplace before death.] It thought.
The demon beast exited from the carriage and looked back to Trevon and his group. It was already close to its deathbed. The beast bowed to give a gratitude before returning into the deep forest. It knew it would face attack from other demon beasts, but it finally became a free beast again.
[There is no resentment between us. If you want to blame someone, blame Master Rabbink for your demise.] Trevon said in his heart. While he had never killed a human. As a young master in training for a great family like McArthur, Trevon had participated in some hunts.
Also, between the human and the demon beast, their war was never stopped. All young kids, whether there were cultivators or not, would be thought about the danger of demon beasts. How the demon beasts pressured the human into small settlements. The people in the village even had more hatred of wild demon beasts. Every beast wave would mean they lost all their belonging.
"Why does the goat need to blame this Rabbink? You use it as a bait!"
Suddenly Trevon ran into the demon beast. He quickly used his Fire Punch. Trevon kept adding more punches to the frail demon beast.
The demon beast surprised. From its eyes, it was wondering. [Why are you attacking me after you release me?]
It decided to make some counter-attack. The beast started to headbutt into Trevon. However, Trevon was quick while the beast had been already frail. Trevon jumped to the left side and continued to beat the demon beast.
[What a close to death demon beast? This demon beast still could attack me. It is impossible for a rabbink to defeat it. I will need to make some mess for that manager.] Trevon thought. He vented his frustration to the demon beast. A few hundred more punches launched.
"This is tiring." Trevon said. He finally vented enough of his stress.
[Finally, it's over.] The demon beast thought.
The beast already accepted its fate since it was captured a few days ago. It only couldn't imagine its death would be under a barrage of the weakest martial art. As a demon beast, it still hoped for a glorious death under a deadly battle. However, its final battle was one side barrage. It closed its eyes, waiting for the final breath.
[I have never touched a girl since I came here.] Trevon suddenly felt frustrated again. He continued to pummel the unfortunate demon beast. The perverted young master needed to vent his frustration.
[What the F*ck?] That was the demon beast thought. The beast opened its eyes again. It already surrendered itself to its demise.
Trevon was pummeling its body.
[Do you need to keep pummeling me? Just wait a few more minutes! I will go to Yama's Palace.] Luckily, Trevon couldn't read its thought or he would pummel the beast even harder.
10 more minutes and finally Trevon felt he had vented enough. He took a rest and look into a smiling Rabbink.
[I have lost all my treasures.] Trevon remembered. He felt frustrated again. Another pummeling session happened.
After another 10 more minutes, Trevon felt a bit better before he remembered Aya's Admirer.
[This Rabbink always put me in a dangerous situation.] Trevon thought again. The stressed young master needed another 10-minute pummeling session. He imagined Master Rabbink face on the demon beast's body.
"Ah! This is great." Trevon finally vented all his anger.
"This is demon beast cruelty." The carriage pullers said to each other. Of course, they spoke very softly so Trevon didn't hear them.
"Take the carcass back!" Trevon said. He believed after some pummeling sessions. This demon beast's meat had turned into tender meat. "Share it with other brothers!" Trevon said to Jerry.
"Yes, Young Master." Jerry was happy. No matter what, demon beast meat was a treasure for a cultivator. He might be able to sell his share to other people.
[Where is my reward?] Trevon asked Master Rabbink.
"Eh?" Master Rabbink was confused. "Which reward? I am in the middle of calling a middle Rank 1 demon beast for you." Master Rabbink said.
[What are you calling?!] Trevon was shocked.
"A middle Rank 1 demon beast, right?" Master Rabbink asked. "I just invited a Heyna-type demon beast and its pack to eat your bait. You have managed to do a good job to tender this beast's meat. They were in the middle of the forest, so you need to wait around 1 hour more." Master Rabbink felt proud.
[You...]
"You don't need to thank this Rabbink. I just want to give you some fighting experience as your guide. Gwahahaha." It felt it was a kind Rabbink. Master Rabbink had prepared Trevon's training to increase his success to survive even deadlier troubles in the future.
[Who asked for your help?] Trevon was shocked.
Hyena type demon beast always hunted in a pack. There would be 10 or more demon beasts, and this Rabbink just invited them.
[Didn't you say that you couldn't help me?] Trevon complained.
"This doesn't count as helping you. This Rabbink only trains you to be a better warrior." Master Rabbink said.
[But, I just defeated a Middle Rank 1 Demon Beast.] Trevon pointed to the demon beast carcass which just cut by Jerry.
"So, you didn't use it for bait? You are truly using it for the mission?" Master Rabbink just realized. "This is a very weak demon beast."
[But it is still a Middle Rank 1 demon beast. Do not forget I even fighting it alone!] Trevon pointed the most important point.
"There is no extra point for doing it alone." Master Rabbink said.
[I have done the mission.]
"Fine. Fine. I will give you the reward." Master Rabbink felt cheated on both its missions. Both didn't result in interesting fights. It believed its novel would go lower in rank tomorrow.
[Lv 5 Master Rabbink Mission: Kill a Middle Rank Demon Beast in Redwood forest.]
[Mission completed.]
[1st Mortal Rank Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat cultivation technique is added to the Universe Store.]
"This is good." Trevon felt happy. "Pack the carcass quicker! There might be carnivore demon beasts nearby." Trevon said.
"Yes, Young Master." Jerry asked the carriage pullers to help him pack the carcass.
The group quickly returned to Redwood city not long after.
