A month passed in the blink of an eye.

As the competition approached, many geniuses within the base emerged from their seclusion, and the scene started to become lively.

In previous years, when the competition approached, the most heated discussions were of course about the geniuses in the nine teams—who was most likely to lead their team to victory, who was unstoppable. For these debates, groups of young people could argue until their faces turned red.

However, today, everyone was repeating one name, and that name was Xu Fan.

The miraculous achievements created by Xu Fan were eagerly discussed by all the young people, but in the end, when the conversations ended, they all sighed.

The fact that Xu Fan could climb to the top of the Earth List, and create such dazzling achievements, indeed made countless young people mesmerized and filled with passion.

But no matter how brilliant Xu Fan's halo of genius shone, after tomorrow's competition, it was destined to end in death!

Roses bloom, making people fall for them, and when roses wither, they leave people lamenting, just like a peerless genius.

Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of intense fighting broke the attention that everyone had fixed on Xu Fan.

As the competition drew near, everyone maintained a harmonious demeanor, even those who normally couldn't stand each other exchanged smiles and pleasantries.

After all, in tomorrow's competition, a bloody battle awaited! Any personal grudges could be unleashed then, without the need to break the peace today.

Who is fighting? What exactly happened?

Those newly emerged from seclusion with nothing else to do surged towards the direction of the fighting.

...

Recently, Qin Fei, who was once an instructor in the Grey Wolf Team, was having a hard time.

Qin Fei had a good impression of Xu Fan, and after certain events, she admired Xu Fan even more. She even thought that if there was an opportunity, she'd like to sit down with Xu Fan, have a drink, and share a bit of her past.

Yet, as things developed, Xu Fan became a prominent figure at the center of attention, and Qin Fei felt it inappropriate to engage Xu Fan in casual conversation.

After all, now that Xu Fan had become the famed first on the Earth List, with only a short time left before the competition, Xu Fan must have many things to attend to. Thus, in the past few days, Qin Fei kept silently wishing Xu Fan well, maintaining her distance from him.

However, today, just as Qin Fei stepped out of her dormitory, the remarks she overheard infuriated her.

A group of people, as if waiting for this moment, stood at the entrance of Qin Fei's dorm, loudly discussing, heaping insults upon Xu Fan, denying Xu Fan's achievements from all angles, and declaring that Xu Fan was merely a showman destined to die tomorrow!

Qin Fei was always highly rational. Even when she encountered unfair treatment, she endured it silently without a word.

But hearing these people insult Xu Fan today, Qin Fei became unprecedentedly furious, to the point that she overlooked... this might very well be a trap!

"Xu Fan is Earth List's first. Even if Xu Fan is a showman, he's accomplished things in the base that no one has for hundreds of years! What makes you qualified to comment on Xu Fan?"

The usually gentle and rational Qin Fei was unusually strong-willed now, facing the few students ahead of her with a cold expression.

"Now, apologize to Xu Fan!"

However, seeing Qin Fei in anger, not only did the students not show fear, but they started to smile smugly.

"Apologize? Why should we apologize?"

"My name is Feng Che, just an ordinary student in the Grey Wind Team, yet I've never heard that just for speaking the truth, one has to apologize."

"Even if Xu Fan himself were standing before me today, I would dare to say to his face that he's merely a clown putting on a show!"

Hahaha!

Several young people burst into laughter, and their eyes were filled with clear provocation as they looked at Qin Fei.

Feng Che and his group appeared intentionally near Qin Fei's dormitory today, having clearly planned this in advance.

Though Qin Fei was an instructor, she was primarily focused on theoretical instruction. Moreover, she was only a Spirit Grade Vajra Realm beginner level expert; in front of real geniuses, nobody would take her seriously.

And Feng Che was such a genius!

Xu Fan reaching the top of the Earth List not only caused Elder Mu and others from the Long Family and Feng Family to be greatly apprehensive, eager to eliminate him quickly, but also made some of the true geniuses within the base want to test Xu Fan's capabilities.

Within the base, all the famous geniuses already knew each other very well. Why would a newcomer like Xu Fan suddenly suppress everyone? Why should he attract all the attention?

The geniuses were dissatisfied, and the base's leadership was equally eager to see what level the low-key Xu Fan had reached after a month.

Thus, the current scene unfolded.

Compared to the will of these geniuses and the base leadership, some mere Qin Fei was insignificant and could only become a victim.

"Instructor Qin Fei, we merely said a few things about Xu Fan. Why are you so upset?"

"I heard you used to be an instructor in the Grey Wolf Team. Perhaps you've been involved with Xu Fan?"

"What a pity, as Xu Fan is doomed to die tomorrow. Beautiful women like Instructor Qin Fei will have to spend their remaining life as widows! But don't worry, Instructor Qin Fei, whenever you have any needs in the future, don't hesitate to come to us!"

Feng Che and his group laughed recklessly, their words showing no respect for Qin Fei.

Boom!

Utterly consumed by rage, Qin Fei was completely infuriated after hearing these words.

"Shut up!"

With a furious rebuke, Qin Fei unleashed her Spiritual Power and charged toward Feng Che and his group.

Even as Qin Fei, her face frosted over and charging forward quickly, approached, Feng Che and his comrades' expressions of amusement remained unchanged.

Normal geniuses within the base could fight beyond their level, let alone people like Feng Che, who were true super-geniuses within several teams!

"Instructor Qin Fei is really in a hurry; Xu Fan isn't even dead yet, and she's rushing towards me already?"

Feng Che chuckled, yet his strike was ruthless and swift, a palm landing on Qin Fei's shoulder.

Bang!

With just one move, Feng Che easily knocked Qin Fei to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Qin Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to fight further, while more and more people gathered in the base, surrounding Feng Che and Qin Fei from afar, gazing at them in confusion.

Evidently, everyone didn't understand why Feng Che would clash with Qin Fei.

However, Feng Che's following words made everyone's expression change.
