Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

In the stillness of the night, Xiao Yao lay on his soft bed, gazing at the bright moonlight outside the window. He thought to himself that Xun'er should be at Canaan Academy now, with the adorable little Feng Ming keeping her company. She shouldn't feel lonely. But then he thought, "Never mind, I shouldn't think about it too much."

Xiao Yao closed his eyes, and soon sleepiness washed over him. He gradually drifted off to sleep, his breathing becoming steady and deep...

The next morning, as dawn broke, Xiao Yao opened his eyes and began his daily cultivation session, only stopping when sunlight streamed through the window.

Xiao Yao jumped off the bed and quickly washed up in the room.

A while later, the two left the inn and headed towards the Monster Mountain Range. When they reached the entrance of the town, they found that there were already many mercenaries gathered there, shouting and beckoning to solo mercenaries who wanted to enter the mountain.

A beautiful woman in a white dress stood in a corner, surrounded by several disciples dressed in the robes of the Myriad Medicines Hall. In front of them, an older middle-aged man called out, "The Myriad Medicines Hall is going into the Monster Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs! Little Fairy Doctor will be going too! There are only fifty spots available, and everyone must be at least a four-star Dou Zhe. Hurry up!"

Standing in a corner, the two watched as the middle-aged man from Wan Yao Zhai finished speaking, which immediately attracted a large number of mercenary groups to rush towards him.

"Wow, it's actually Little Fairy Doctor!"

"So beautiful, wow, that waist is so slim..."

"Idiot, do you want to die? Most of the mercenaries in Qingshan Town have been treated by Little Fairy Doctor. Be careful someone hears this and cuts out your tongue!"

Standing not far from Xiao Yao, two men were talking in hushed tones. When one of them said something somewhat flirtatious, his companion quickly grabbed him and cursed him under his breath.

"I was just talking nonsense...hehe." Seemingly noticing the malicious gazes coming from around him, the man's face turned slightly pale, and he was pulled away by his companion with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing this, the two shook their heads and quickly ran over to join the group, squeezing into the line in the direction of the middle-aged man.

Using their strength and agility, the two finally managed to squeeze in front of the middle-aged man.

"There are less than five spots left, hurry up, first come, first served!"

"Me!" Xiao Yao and Xiao Yan shouted at the same time.

"Huh?" Looking at the two handsome young men in front of me who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with their tender skin, I wondered which powerful family's young master had run away from home.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young brothers, our condition is that we need a four-star Dou Zhe!"

The middle-aged man emphasized the last four words, clearly indicating that he did not believe that these two teenagers, who were only in their early teens, had met the requirements.

"Where did this noble young master come from? Get out of my way! This is just a child's game. The Monster Mountain Range is very dangerous. You might lose your life."

"You two little ones, hurry up and run, or these grown men will throw you out."

Upon seeing this, the burly mercenaries on the periphery immediately burst into laughter.

Ignoring the insults and mockery, Xiao Yan took two steps forward and stood before a tree trunk as thick as two arms. He clenched his fist tightly, and pale yellow Dou Qi, like a thin curtain of light, covered his fist. After a brief silence, he let out a low shout, and his fist, imbued with fierce energy, slammed hard against the tree trunk.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, the rather thick tree trunk creaked and fell to the ground to the astonishment of the crowd, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Is this enough?"

Xiao Yan clapped his hands and smiled at the dumbfounded middle-aged man.

Nodding in amazement, the middle-aged man smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "That's enough, young brother, you're quite good. Reaching the level of a six-star Dou Zhe at such a young age is impressive." After speaking, he turned his gaze to another handsome young man who looked very similar and said softly, "You two must be brothers, right? How's your strength? It should be about the same."

Xiao Yao secretly used a divine-level concealment technique to suppress his cultivation to the level of a sixth-star Dou Zhe, and then directly released his own Dou Qi cultivation.

"Hmm, not bad. Welcome to your successful joining, brothers." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded after seeing the aura emanating from Xiao Yao. He then said, "The mercenary reward is five hundred gold coins. You will be paid half of the reward for escorting our Wan Yao Zhai herb-gathering team back and forth. The other half will be paid upon your return."

"Okay." They nodded with smiles, not caring about the reward of five hundred gold coins.

Seeing that the two had successfully registered and only three spots remained, the surrounding mercenary groups rushed forward, scrambling to grab the last three spots.

......

In the silent forest, a large group of people walked quietly, their wary eyes constantly scanning the shadows among the trees, their hands gripping the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

Xiao Yao's gaze casually swept across the group, finally settling on a woman in a white dress who was surrounded by a crowd of people, as if she were the moon surrounded by stars.

At this moment, the delicate beauty known as Little Fairy Doctor straightened up slightly, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. Her soft panting, combined with her beautiful face, made her look quite endearing.

As everyone's attention focused on Little Fairy Doctor, a rather handsome young man walked out from the guards with a smile on his face and said something to the panting Little Fairy Doctor.

Despite being rejected by Little Fairy Doctor, the young man showed no anger on his face, smiled faintly, and waved his hand.

The young man shouted, "Wolf Head's men, watch your step! We're almost into the Monster Mountain Range, don't let yourselves get caught off guard!"

"Yes, Young Commander!"

Upon hearing the young man's shout, dozens of burly men around him immediately responded in unison. Their synchronized voices drew everyone's attention, and even the little fairy doctor who was walking ahead glanced back.

Very satisfied with this reaction, the young man smiled slightly, took two quick steps again, and walked side by side with Little Fairy Doctor, protecting her with great care.

"Damn it, he's just relying on his father being the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Does he think he can win Little Fairy Doctor's heart with that?" A mercenary next to Xiao Yao muttered under his breath as he watched the young man chatting with Little Fairy Doctor up close.

Xiao Yan, carrying a heavy black ruler on his back, approached Xiao Yao and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yao, the girl you mentioned from when we were little, could it be her? After all, she's also known as Little Fairy Doctor."

"Yes, it is indeed her. Little Fairy Doctor is as beautiful and charming as ever, and she loves being a doctor. The reason I couldn't forget her before, besides her beauty, was more importantly her kind and helpful heart. I remember that her understanding of the properties of each medicinal herb was no less than mine, it's just a pity that she didn't have the qualifications to be an alchemist." Xiao Yao said slowly, his eyes sparkling with memories.
