In the void above, Luo Lin did something that no one expected.

Luo Lin retracted his violent spiritual power, lowered his proud head, closed his eyes filled with murderous intent, and bent slightly; his voice even carried a hint of tremor.

"Young Master Xu, today's events are nothing but a misunderstanding. Our Luo Family young master would like to invite Young Master Xu to the relics to share opportunities. Please do not break your promise."

Luo Lin's actions left everyone stunned; no one could have imagined that the once overbearing Luo Lin, who had just threatened to crush and silence Xu Fan, would at this moment lower his proud head and humbly extend an invitation to Xu Fan.

It should be noted that Luo Lin had just repeatedly stated that the Luo Family should not be humiliated! And Xu Fan had called Luo Lin a 'Luo Family old dog'!

Could such humiliation be something Luo Lin would endure?

Even Xu Fan, facing the suddenly respectful Luo Lin, felt a bit astonished, but in the blink of an eye, he had figured everything out.

After all, Luo Lin was just a steward of the Luo Family, merely a dog of Luo Yan! Luo Lin dared not disobey Luo Yan's orders!

If Xu Fan's strength were utterly lacking, Luo Lin would naturally be able to dominate and half-kill Xu Fan before "inviting" him to the relics to vent Luo Yan's anger. However, the strength Xu Fan displayed now was something even Luo Lin couldn't quite grasp.

Today, the Luo Family had indeed suffered heavy losses! Even if Luo Lin had a ninety percent chance of defeating Xu Fan, he dared not gamble on the ten percent chance of an accident!

After all, Xu Fan was likely to die for sure upon going to the relics! Why should Luo Lin, with his high status, gamble with a man who was bound to die?

Xu Fan understood Luo Lin's thoughts, and once certain that Luo Lin would not make a move again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After one intense battle upon another, and exhausting himself again and again, even Xu Fan, even with the elixirs Wang Chong had left, was beginning to feel he had reached his limit.

This was also why Xu Fan had "played dead" at the start of the battle, targeting the three strongmen of the Luo Family first, because Xu Fan had already strained himself to the limit, and continuing the fight with someone as strong as Luo Lin might lead to Xu Fan himself being the first to fall!

Thankfully, Luo Lin chickened out.

"Heh."

Watching Luo Lin, who suddenly became pliant, Xu Fan coldly crossed his arms, his gaze at Luo Lin filled with disdain and mockery.

"Luo Family old dog, why are you humble after being arrogant before?"

These few words, just eleven characters, perfectly expressed the disdain in Xu Fan's heart.

In the face of Xu Fan's ruthless sarcasm, Luo Lin's previously fair face turned red, then blue, and finally pale as a ghost.

Although Luo Lin was a servant of the Luo Family, he was after all a steward of substantial status, having never suffered such intense humiliation since becoming a strongman in the Zhiwei Realm!

He stared hard at Xu Fan, saw Xu Fan's face full of disdain, clenched his teeth, perfunctorily cupped his hands towards Xu Fan, and left in embarrassment.

The crowd in the base erupted in laughter.

Luo Lin had arrived with astonishing arrogance! Not only did he disregard Xu Fan, but he also did not regard the entire base! When Luo Lin made his move earlier, he paid no heed to the surrounding fellow students!

In fact, given Luo Yan's status, they indeed need not worry about the base. Let alone the steward of the illustrious Luo Family; even a trivial underling wasn't someone the base could afford to offend!

However, Xu Fan's monstrous ability had changed the situation with his strength alone! Three of the Luo Family's strongmen lay dead! Luo Lin fled in disgrace!

Moreover, before Luo Lin escaped, Xu Fan metaphorically slapped him hard across the face!

"Luo Family old dog, why are you humble after being arrogant before?"

This statement was louder than a hundred slaps! It made everyone feel cathartic!

Cheers echoed through the base, as the students finally unleashed their inner excitement, unable to contain themselves. Everyone spiritedly discussed the recent events, their excitement made it seem as if they were Xu Fan himself.

As for Xu Fan, the protagonist, he appeared unaffected, waved to everyone, sparking a tide of cheers and screams, then swaggered into his dormitory, swallowed a few spiritual power recovery pills, and quietly sat cross-legged to restore his strength.

The scenario just now seemed extremely simple, but in reality, any minor mistake could have rewritten the outcome completely!

Xu Fan was no iron man; after battling thirteen Zhiwei Realm strongmen, he had pushed himself to the edge. After barely killing the three Luo Family strongmen, he was utterly exhausted! Facing Luo Lin was nearly a life-and-death matter for Xu Fan!

But at such a time, Xu Fan knew he needed to be even tougher!

If he showed any sign of weakness or flaw, Luo Lin would have struck him without the slightest hesitation! Moreover, Xu Fan never forgot that Mu Lao and the others were watching him from the shadows!

Thus, Xu Fan projected an extremely tough demeanor! Luo Lin, after calculating, finally retreated with hatred. Xu Fan's life was tentatively safe for now.

However, it was merely temporary!

Xu Fan was fully aware that Luo Lin's appearance was merely a prelude to Luo Yan's sinister plans! Once in the relics, Luo Yan would surely have more vicious schemes waiting for him!

Furthermore, Mu Lao and his group were not benevolent either! It was under their instigation that the thirteen Zhiwei Elders had shamelessly attacked Xu Fan!

What worried Xu Fan most was that Mu Lao and his group seemed to have identified his weaknesses. They had devised a formation targeting his Luo Yan Step's hundred-meter range, which caused Xu Fan considerable concern.

To know oneself and the enemy is the way to win a hundred battles. Xu Fan did not know whether Mu Lao and his group had exhausted their full strength. Despite trying to conceal his abilities time and again, in every crisis, Xu Fan had exposed too many of his cards.

Whether he could defeat Mu Lao or thwart Luo Yan's conspiracy, even Xu Fan was not overly confident.

However, despite this, Xu Fan did not give up on heading to the relics.

Why could Xu Fan ascend to the top of the Earth List? Why could he defeat the super-strong of the Zhiwei Realm with his Entering Dao Realm level? It was all due to Xu Fan fighting inch by inch!

Opportunities have always coexisted with crises! Seize the opportunity, face the challenge, and there might be a chance to become strong! To evade is to remain weak for life!

Whoosh!

Xu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, got up without hesitation, and walked towards the direction of the Mission Hall.

If nothing unexpected happened, Mu Lao and his group had likely been waiting for a long time.
