Gazing at the young man walking slowly towards them, the crowd, who moments ago were full of anger and ready to question Xu Fan, had already quieted down, and those who had mocked Xu Fan's cowardice earlier were now trembling and unable to utter a word.

Though Xu Fan seemed to show no sign of anger, as if completely unaware, his imposing aura was more restrained, and he appeared as harmless as a gentle piece of jade. However, everyone present was acutely aware that this young man was a freak capable of instantly defeating a top-grade Vajra Realm peak expert!

Yet, only a few, including Feng Che, displayed a mocking expression, looking at Xu Fan with the same gaze one would have towards a charlatan.

No one else knew, but as one of the super geniuses at the base, Feng Che knew Xu Fan's background all too well.

A person who survived under the hands of many powerful individuals through luck and cunning, what right did he have to make Feng Che bow down and submit?

The true genius of the Luo Family had told Feng Che the details of that day firsthand the previous day, saying that Xu Fan was nothing more than a charlatan!

Today, Feng Che planned to expose Xu Fan's schemes and reveal the truth to the world! Xu Fan was not worthy of being first on the Earth List! The true talent and genius, the one everyone should genuinely admire, was Feng Che himself!

"Xu Fan! You've finally come!"

"Come! Let's fight with honor, like a man, and tell this world who the true strong one is!"

Feng Che's words were impassioned, and he trembled incessantly as if injected with adrenaline.

Of course, a battle alone wouldn't excite the battle-hardened Feng Che to this extent; what excited Feng Che was the prestige, the fame he would gain after defeating Xu Fan.

The change in the Earth List, Xu Fan's strong ascendancy, had caused the world to marvel, but next, Feng Che planned to defeat Xu Fan in an overwhelming manner, telling everyone that being first in the Earth List was nothing but a joke!

And he, Feng Che, would thus enter the public eye, attracting attention, and the already smooth future would surely become even brighter!

Feng Che's words caused everyone around to draw a sharp breath.

What kind of existence was Xu Fan? Instantly killing top-grade Vajra Realm experts, with real combat power comparable to a Zhiwei Realm super strong!

Xu Fan was so powerful that even the elders in the base couldn't do anything to him, yet how dare Feng Che, though a genius, speak to Xu Fan like this?

Could it be that Xu Fan was truly, as Feng Che said, just a charlatan who got lucky? Was the so-called first on the Earth List merely a joke?

Looking at the horrified expressions of those around him, Feng Che couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Yes, this feeling of being in the spotlight was just so wonderful, making one unable to help but be intoxicated with it.

Moreover, this was merely the beginning!

However, Xu Fan's reaction was as if he had directly slapped Feng Che in the face, waking him up from that wonderful feeling, making him burn with anger.

Upon hearing Feng Che's provocative words, Xu Fan continued to walk calmly, step by step, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Feng Che was all set, issuing a high-profile challenge to fight Xu Fan to the death, but Xu Fan seemed not to have noticed Feng Che at all, ignoring both him and his words completely.

Is there anything more infuriating than this?

Boom!

Like an enraged beast, Feng Che's aura exploded instantly, and powerful spiritual power surged forth, with gusts of wind swirling around him like knives, making terrifying sounds.

This was a phenomenon caused by wind reaching extreme speed.

Feng Che dared to injure Qin Fei and challenge Xu Fan, not only because the Luo Family genius had told him that Xu Fan was merely a charlatan, but also because Feng Che naturally had his own confidence!

His confidence naturally came from Feng Che's immensely strong power!

In the Entering Dao Realm, besides a few individuals, Feng Che was almost undefeated! Even some Vajra Realm expert instructors weren't his match.

Wasn't Xu Fan said to have real combat power comparable to a Vajra Realm middle stage expert? This battle, Feng Che wanted to show everyone that it wasn't only Xu Fan who could challenge others above his level!

The world was full of geniuses and prodigies, and not just Xu Fan! Feng Che alone could step over Xu Fan!

"Instructor Xu, your expression suggests—are you trying to tell me... that you have no idea what's happening and are merely passing by?"

"Do you see this woman? Does she look familiar?"

"Today, either fight me and show the world who the real genius and strong one is, or obediently kneel at my feet and admit you're just a charlatan. I'm always magnanimous and might spare you, allowing you to reunite with your woman."

Feng Che's words finally caused Xu Fan's ever calm footsteps to pause slightly and then completely stop.

Because Xu Fan saw Qin Fei lying on the ground, injured and withered.

In fact, Xu Fan indeed had no knowledge of what had happened before.

Previously, Xu Fan had focused his mind on tomorrow's grand competition, and with a bit of time, he had left seclusion this morning, taking the Grey Wolf Team out of the base for some secret training, returning only just now.

However, although Xu Fan wasn't clear about who Feng Che was, upon hearing Feng Che's words and seeing the severely injured Qin Fei, Xu Fan finally became angry.

Xu Fan's anger wasn't because of Feng Che's audacity, nor because Feng Che had injured Qin Fei and rallied a group to make a spectacle of a duel with him.

Xu Fan's anger was directed at those behind Feng Che.

Clearly, tomorrow would be the grand competition, yet some people still lacked patience and resorted to these actions.

Feng Che, in Xu Fan's eyes, was just a pawn being used!

What did the other side intend to do with Feng Che?

Did they want to provoke Xu Fan's anger, or... were they unsure of Xu Fan's level after a month of seclusion and wanted to use Feng Che to test Xu Fan's progress?

Xu Fan couldn't fully understand the enemy's intentions, but what he did know was that today, someone must pay the price!

"Xu Fan! Seeing your woman lying on the ground, suffering this fate because of you, have you finally become angry like a man?"

"Come! Battle with me!"

Feng Che stared intently at Xu Fan, his body trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

Everyone was watching this scene intently, not even daring to take a breath.

Facing all eyes, a slight ripple finally appeared on Xu Fan's calm face, a smirk of genuine contempt and derision from the heart.

"Fight you? You... are not worthy?"
