Legendary Fighter
19. Leave the Cave
Days changed weeks and even months, without feeling it was 2 months after the fight between Zhou Fan and the discordant ape that ended with the death of the beast.
****
Inside a cave was a handsome young man in black clothes, who was seen sitting cultivating near a pond.
During these 2 months Zhou Fan did not stop increasing his cultivation, he also always improved his mastery of the skill as well as his technique.
Zhou Fan had now reached 4-star master fighter, Zhou Fan was able to break through several stars with just 2 months as he routinely consumed high-tier pills from his storage ring.
With his current physical strength along with his fighting techniques, Zhou Fan was able to hold a draw of an 8-star even 9-star master fighter.
A moment later, Zhou Fan opened his eyes.
"Now that I've been ranked a 4-star master fighter, maybe it's time for me to return, I've missed my father and mother a lot." Zhou Fan said softly while recalling the figures of his parents.
"Dad, mother, look your son has now become a master level cultivator." Zhou Fan said in a sad tone, although a smile was still etched on his lips.
Zhou Fan suddenly remembered his parents who always gave encouragement and support when everyone insulted and also humbled him.
Both of his parents still treated him affectionately even though Zhou Fan could not fulfill their wishes.
Zhou Hu as well as Zhou Qian, as Zhou Fan's parents surely they had expectations that they placed on him.
They hoped their son could become a great cultivator who could scent their name, but all that was lost when they found out Zhou Fan could not become a cultivator.
After they found out about it, they no longer burdened Zhou Fan with their expectations, not only did they also become more attentive to Zhou Fan.
They also always gave encouragement and support so that Zhou Fan did not give up.
Had enough of their children suffered from hearing the insults and insinuations from the entire Zhou Clan, they were unwilling to add to Zhou Fan's suffering with the burden given to Zhou Fan, perhaps that was what Zhou Hu and Zhou Qian thought at that moment.
Zhou Fan felt lucky to be born to parents like Zhou Hu and Zhou Qian, Zhou Fan was moved when he recalled his parents' treatment of him.
"In the future, I will always maintain that warmth." Zhou Fan said slowly.
After saying that Zhou Fan approached his teacher's grave, intending to say goodbye.
"Teacher, this student of yours is coming home, maybe after this I can't accompany you anymore, but this student of yours promised to visit you." Zhou Fan said while prostrating in front of his teacher's grave.
Before leaving Zhou Fan did not forget to take all the herbs that were in the cave, Zhou Fan also filled the barrel that he brought with him with spiritual water.
Now that Zhou Fan's storage ring was already filled with herbs from the ordinary to the rare, all the herbs he had in the cave had already put into his storage ring without exception.
"See you, teacher." The farewell Zhou Fan said before he left the cave.

Now Zhou Fan was heading to Permata Village which was to be the nearest village from where Zhou Fan was located.
As Zhou Fan was on his way, his footsteps came to a halt upon hearing a shout.
What made Zhou Fan stop his steps, the voice he heard was the sound of someone shouting for help.
Moments later came the same scream from inside the dead forest.
"Is there anyone else in the woods?" Zhou Fan could not help but be surprised upon hearing someone's cry for help from within the dead forest.
Zhou Fan thought that the person also had the same goal as himself, which was to seek strength.
Therefore Zhou Fan rushed to look for the whereabouts of the person.
With the hint of the voice earlier, Zhou Fan darted quickly towards the source of the voice asking for help.
"May still be in the outermost layer of the dead forest." Zhou Fan hoped that the person was still in the outer layer of the dead forest.
If it was still in the outermost layer of the dead forest, it meant that the possibility of attacking the person was a level 3 beast and Zhou Fan had the possibility to help him.
But if the person had entered the deepest layer of the dead forest, Zhou Fan could only wish for the person to exit the dead forest safely.
"With my cultivation right now it might be a bit of a level 3 beast that could make things difficult for me." Zhou Fan said slowly.
Zhou Fan continued to search for the whereabouts of the person, but stopped his search as he looked at some of the corpses of the tier 2 beasts.
"There must have been a fight here, a lot of dead bodies lying here." Zhou Fan was astonished by the current state of affairs.
"Why there is no sign of a human here, I am very sure that one who did this must be a cultivator" Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan was very sure that the one who killed these level 2 beasts was a cultivator, it could be seen from the wounds that were still visible on the corpse of the beast as it was wounded by the incision of a sword, at least the sword is at the same level as his dagger because it can injure a level 2 beast very deeply.
"If the person is still alive, then why doesn't he keep the corpse of this beast for sale, or consumption." Zhou Fan said as he stroked his chin.
"Isn't it a pity, if the corpse of this beast's corpse isn't taken." Although it was only a level 2 beast, this corpse could also be sold.
As Zhou Fan walked up to the beast's corpse and to put it into the storage ring, Zhou fan found that the beast crystal was still inside the beast's corpse.
"Other ones are still there, too" Zhou Fan said after examining every corpse that was there.
Zhou Fan now knew that this beast was not left behind by the person, but circumstances forced him to leave this corpse.
"Is the person in danger." Zhou Fan said as he checked the surroundings.
Zhou Fan saw a trail of blood heading south, he decided to follow the trail.
But before following the trail of blood Zhou Fan inserted the corpses of dozens of beasts into the storage ring, he also did not forget to take out his beast crystal.
****
Zhou Fan was currently walking following the blood trail that was in front of him.
After a long walk, finally the trail of blood was already visible at the end and the trail of blood was leading to a cave.
"It turns out there is also a cave here," Zhou Fan's inner.
After Zhou Fan was already inside the cave, Zhou Fan looked......
