Looking at the sword piercing towards his heart with sluggish eyes, the middle-aged man couldn't believe what he was seeing. Being defeated by a brat barely past the age of 20 years old with a strength that wasn't even Bloodline Transform, was truly humiliating.
Because of the arrogant talk of the Xie clan's young master, his 50 years of cultivation had been laid to waste by a 20-year-old youth; out in the middle of nowhere, his life was destroyed in a single moment. Just thinking about this fact made the man nearly cry out with grief. As his life fire slowly escaped from him, the man's bright and clear eyes slowly clouded over and rolled back into his skull as his sturdy body fell to the ground.
Ling Tian slowly retracted his Lonely Wind Sword. Blood flowed down the blade as if it were alive; slowly gathering at the tip before falling to the ground, drop by drop. After a few battles, the uneven dirt ground had become wet with blood.
Ling Tian slowly caught his breath. Attacking two normal bloodline Level 1 Martial Ancestor Realm and a Peak of Level 1 Martial Ancestor Realm Master consumed quite a bit of Ling Tian's energy. Faced with three opponents whose strength all surpassed his own, Ling Tian had already made an all-out effort. If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated for a while, increasing his base strength as a Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert by quite a bit, he most likely would've spent a much longer time on trying to kill these 3 Bodyguards.
However, after killing the three people, Ling Tian's gaze indifferently swept across the three corpses, before finally falling onto their Space Ring. After some hesitation, he slowly advanced forward to retrieve the Rings and examine their contents.
Because This Time Ling Tian has almost destroyed the restaurant and, Ling Tian required a great amount of them; moreover, Ling Tian clearly didn't have enough money to pay such an extensive amount. That's why the thing he wanted to acquire the most were monster cores. It was only possible for him to gain them by killing magical beasts or by taking them from corpses. Besides, taking items from a dead person was an extremely common occurrence in Divine Wind Continent. After all, 30% or more of the fights that happened on Divine Wind Continent were because people were seeking another party's items.
After removing the 3 Space Rings, Ling Tian inspected their contents. Although these 3 were Masters, it was clear that they weren't wealthy. Aside from some everyday products and camping tools, they really didn't have anything else. In the end, Ling Tian was only able to fish out some 10 Purple and Gold coins, 15 Class 3 Monster Cores, and 5 Class 4 Monster Cores.
Without any hesitation, Ling Tian stored the monster cores Class 4 monster cores into his own Space Belt. His gaze shifted back to the owner of the restaurant and he tossed the space ring containing Class 3 Monster cores. Although it wasn't a large amount of money, to commoners it was still quite a bit of wealth. Just throwing it out here was a waste, and rather a pity.
After storing everything, Ling Tian tossed the 3 Space rings to one side. Without bothering to clean up the corpses, he directly left the area.
By the time he had finished his fight, the sky had already darkened. Ling Tian went to a Hotel, Ling Tian requested a room and went to sleep.
Because Ling Tian had only requested a normal room, its layout was extremely simple. It had a single wooden table, a few chairs, and a bed. Aside from these, there was nothing else present. However, the place was extremely neat and tidy; one could even say it was completely spotless.
That night, the shining full moon suspended high up in the sky emitted bright rays of silver moonlight, filling the entire pitch-black sky with a faint silver colour. Even the scattered, thin clouds could be seen clearly.
Ling Tian moved his chair to the window side and sat there with his head raised. He looked up at that round moon emitting a bright glow while deep in thought. Perhaps it was more appropriate to say that he was in a sluggish daze.
Ling Tian was constantly recalling the past year in his mind. Although two days had already passed, How he was elite in society on earth and how he travelled here in this cultivation world where he got this helping system and that helping system upgraded to Heavenly helping system...
How he completed his first mission...
how the system was sealed...
How Princess Ling saved his life...
how he aced in the Sect entrance exam...
How he was betrayed by his own master and fellow apprentice brother and he was thrown in Bone corroding nether yin river...
How he Again gained access to his cultivation and System...
how he almost got killed in old ruins and incidents in the restaurant That scenarios had been branded deeply into the depths of his soul, and he would most likely never forget it for the rest of his life.
*sigh*
When Ling Tian was reminiscing about his past, he didn't know that some changes were occurring in the system.

Inside the bloodline Spiritual world of Ling Tian-
A Golden Fur Monkey was kneeling before a man, who was wearing a long Black robe and he was sitting on a Throne and Dominating aura surrounding him. The white part of his eyes was Crimson red.
"Lord, Ling Tian has started to walk on the path of slaughter and destruction. isn't it time for your awakening?" Golden Fur monkey said
"Little Monkey, you were just like him when you were born. isn't it obvious he is influenced by your bloodline?" Man sitting on the throne said while chuckling.
When Golden Fur Monkey heard that his cheeks turned red like tomatoes and didn't say a word again.
After Watching the expression of Golden Fur Monkey The Man sitting on the throne sighed and said "Little Monkey, Ling Tian's body is still very weak for me to awaken now that's why I need your help to watch over him and I want you to watch over him.
After saying those words The man sitting on the Throne slowly closed his eyes, and he didn't say another word again, leaving the golden fur monkey flabbergasted.
