Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

Just as Xiao Yao was thinking this, a woman wearing a light white dress, with a gentle smile on her face, and exuding a fresh and ethereal temperament, walked in, just like a fairy descending to earth.

As Xiao Yao's gaze swept over the little girl, it finally settled on her slender waist bound by a blue ribbon. He remarked, "It seems that Little Fairy Doctor has always been this slender and graceful since she was a child. Her waist is as thin as a willow branch, as if it could be easily encircled in the palm of one's hand."

"Ding! A hidden system task has been triggered. The host can accept any task at will, and there will be no penalty for failing the task."

Hidden Quest: Become Little Fairy Doctor's friend, gain her approval, and earn her favor to be rewarded with the flying combat skill, Kunpeng Wings. (No time limit)

Xiao Yao silently recited in his mind, "Accept the mission." Seeing Little Fairy Doctor chatting with the shop assistant at the counter, he immediately walked up to her, stood in front of her, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and smiled, saying, "Little Fairy Doctor, it's a pleasure to meet you. Can we be friends?"

Xiao Yao's actions surprised Little Fairy Doctor. She looked up at Xiao Yao, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about how to respond.

She glanced at Xiao Yao and saw that he was wearing a black robe and looked neither like a cultivator nor an ordinary passerby.

Little Fairy Doctor said calmly, "How happy?"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, secretly complaining that the system's hidden missions weren't so easy to complete. But that couldn't stop him, so he smiled and said, "Little Fairy Doctor, my name is Xiao Yao. I hope we can get to know each other."

"Hello, my name is Little Fairy Doctor, but I'm busy right now and may not have time to chat with you for long."

Xiao Yao's smile didn't fade upon hearing this. He gently shook his head and said, "It's alright, I just wanted to make friends with you. If you're busy right now, we can talk another time."

Little Fairy Doctor was puzzled by Xiao Yao's words. She didn't understand why this stranger would suddenly appear and ask to be friends.

She looked at Xiao Yao warily, trying to glean some clues from his eyes.

However, Xiao Yao's eyes were clear and firm, without any hidden malice.

A thought flickered in Little Fairy Doctor's heart. She remembered that she had encountered a similar situation when she first came to this place.

Perhaps, this person really just wants to make a friend.

So, Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly and said, "Alright, we can get to know each other first."

Xiao Yao smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words. He extended his hand and said again, "My name is Xiao Yao. It's a pleasure to meet you, Little Fairy Doctor."

Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment when she saw Xiao Yao's outstretched hand, but still gently squeezed it. She felt that Xiao Yao's hand was warm and strong.

After shaking hands, Xiao Yao stepped back a few paces, giving Little Fairy Doctor some space. He smiled at her and said, "Little Fairy Doctor, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. We'll talk again next time."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Yao, I look forward to talking again next time."

Xiao Yao turned and left Wan Yao Zhai, feeling a sense of pride. He knew he had successfully attracted the attention of Little Fairy Doctor, and that they had established a preliminary connection.

Xiao Yao headed towards the Monster Mountain Range, listening to the cries of monsters echoing from the depths of the jungle. Xiao Yao's footsteps traversed the jungle.

Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the tranquility of the jungle, as if it were a proclamation of death.

Xiao Yao turned around abruptly and saw a huge tiger-headed leopard leap out of the bushes. Its eyes flashed with a fierce light, and its mouth revealed sharp fangs, like the scythe of death, ready to reap lives at any moment.

The tiger-headed leopard was enormous, with fur as hard as iron. A powerful aura emanated from it, making Xiao Yao feel suffocated.

It roared to the sky, a sound that shook the very soul. Even more terrifying was the lava-like liquid that flowed from its mouth, dripping onto the ground and instantly melting the hard rock, forming a deep crater.

The intense heat rushed towards him, making Xiao Yao feel scorched, as if he were in a sea of ​​fire. The third-tier tiger-headed leopard slowly approached Xiao Yao, baring its full set of fangs as it looked at him.

Xiao Yao's heart skipped a beat. He immediately stopped and stared warily at the tiger-headed leopard before him. This third-tier magical beast exuded a powerful aura, making him sense that its cultivation level was at least at the ninth-star level of a human Great Dou Master.

The tiger-headed leopard's eyes flashed with a fierce light as it approached Xiao Yao step by step, letting out a low roar.

Xiao Yao was overjoyed, thinking he could try to improve his combat experience. He quickly took out a Divine Firmament Sword from his storage ring, ready to deal with the Tiger-Headed Leopard's attack at any time. He calmly observed the Tiger-Headed Leopard's movements, looking for its weaknesses.

Suddenly, the tiger-headed leopard pounced on Xiao Yao, spewing out a blazing flame. Xiao Yao nimbly dodged the attack, simultaneously thrusting his sword at the leopard's abdomen.

However, the tiger-headed leopard reacted extremely quickly, dodging Xiao Yao's attack and then pouncing on him again.

Xiao Yao dodged several times in a row. He felt that his fighting spirit was being used up too much, so he immediately took out the Qi-restoring pill that he had already refined and swallowed it.

Instantly, his fighting spirit filled his body, and Xiao Yao found that his fighting spirit was more solid, and his muscles and cells contained even more powerful strength. He felt that his cultivation was about to break through again.

Xiao Yao was overjoyed. Looking at the tiger-headed leopard, his eyes no longer held the panic he had shown before, but instead shone with excitement. He felt as if he had discovered a great treasure, and the joy he felt was indescribable.

He immediately sheathed the Divine Firmament Sword in his hand. "Little kitty, come here quickly, let's fight hand-to-hand."

He muttered to himself, his tone laced with a mixture of mockery and anticipation. He knew that this tiger-headed leopard wasn't as physically strong as his own, and he believed he could defeat it with his bare hands, while also improving his physique and reaching the Lesser Completion stage of the Human Body realm sooner.

The tiger-headed leopard didn't seem to understand Xiao Yao's words. It roared at the sky again, its voice filled with pain and anger, though its strength was slightly weaker than before.

The tiger-headed leopard pounced towards Xiao Yao's location. Xiao Yao had anticipated this. He moved swiftly, using the "Travel" technique, and runes appeared on his feet. He instantly teleported behind the tiger-headed leopard, and his fist, covered with layers of golden energy, directly struck the leopard.

The tiger-headed leopard staggered from the sudden attack and almost fell to the ground.

The tiger-headed leopard turned around angrily, its eyes flashing with a ferocious light, as if it wanted to devour Xiao Yao alive. It pounced on Xiao Yao again, faster and more ferocious than before.

Xiao Yao remained calm and composed, his movements agile, sometimes dodging left and right, sometimes counterattacking. His punches and kicks were exceptionally fierce, each attack causing Tiger Leopard to feel a sharp pain.

In a fierce exchange, Xiao Yao seized an opening in Tiger-Headed Leopard's defenses. He swiftly moved to Tiger-Headed Leopard's side and delivered a powerful punch to its waist. Tiger-Headed Leopard cried out in pain, then collapsed to the ground.

Panting heavily, Xiao Yao looked at the fallen Tiger-Headed Leopard and couldn't help but sigh. He realized that he still needed to continue improving his combat experience. Seeing that his battle qi was becoming more condensed and was about to overflow his body, he quickly sat down on the ground to absorb the battle qi. After a while, he opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of golden battle qi, and felt the change in his cultivation level, which had increased by one star.

Afterwards, Xiao Yao dusted himself off, straightened his clothes, and used his storage ring to put away the tiger-headed leopard's corpse. He prepared to leave this place and find a place to rest, since he would be living here for some time to come.
