Normally, ordinary disciples would have agreed long ago, and would not have been like this.
However, it made sense. Lu Fan was no ordinary person, so why would he easily take someone as a master? As a third-grade alchemist, he was enough to earn everyone's flattery. Perhaps in the entire White Dragon Dynasty, not many people could become Lu Fan's master. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Oh, right. If Elder Seven bothers you again, just release this signal flare, and the Dean will appear then," Bi Yao said. "This took me quite some time to obtain. Not everyone can get it."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Bi Yao!" Lu Fan smiled. "Isn't Elder Seven supposed to be in seclusion for three months? How can he come out?"
"It's hard to say. Elder Seven has always been narrow-minded. Now that he's been punished by the Dean to be in seclusion for three months, he might already resent you. If he rashly attacks you, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Bi Yao said seriously.
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Thank you, Senior Sister Bi Yao. I am now a half-step Spirit Master, only one step away from the final stage. If I can cross that threshold, I will have no one to fear."
"Let's hope so!"
Bi Yao nodded and chuckled. If Lu Fan could reach the Spirit Master realm, he would at least have a way to deal with Elder Seven's attacks and wouldn't be completely defenseless.
A month later, everyone emerged from their seclusion. Their auras had all strengthened considerably, and the entire courtyard was filled with a spirit of passion.
"Peak Great Spirit Master, such formidable power!"
Chu Ting looked at Han Feng. "I truly didn't expect you to break through so quickly. I remember that just over a month ago, you were still only at the early stage of Great Spirit Master!"
"This matter is unusual. The Peak Competition is coming soon, so naturally, I want to break through sooner," Han Feng chuckled. "But congratulations to you as well. You've also reached the Great Spirit Master realm. When you return to the Chu family, you'll surely receive much praise."
As they were talking, Long Yi also emerged from seclusion. However, Long Yi's aura at this moment was extremely unique, even making Han Feng seem inferior.
"Half-step Spirit King?"
Chu Ting was not entirely sure, and she murmured, trembling slightly. She knew very well that a month ago, Long Yi, like her, had not yet broken through to Great Spirit Master. How could he have become a half-step Spirit King now?
"That's right, I have indeed broken through to the half-step Spirit King!" Long Yi nodded and smiled. "You don't need to be surprised. To achieve better results, I had been suppressing my realm before. Now I can finally unleash it!"
"This is too terrifying!" Li Ziming exclaimed enviously. Even though he was the young master of one of the three great families, his cultivation speed was still mediocre. He was no match for these prodigies at all.
As everyone was cheering, Lu Fan walked out of his room. He appeared calm, but a smile still lingered on his lips, and his spirit was full of vigor. After a month of cultivation, he had reached the Spirit King realm and could even fly with his sword. For him, this was a qualitative change.
"Xiao Fan, why is your aura so hidden?"
Long Yi stepped forward and smiled. "Even I can't sense your strength."
"It's best to remain low-key. I'm hiding my strength so that it will be difficult for opponents to detect me in the Peak Competition," Lu Fan chuckled. "That way, I can achieve a surprise victory!"
"That's a good idea!" Long Yi nodded slightly, but he understood Lu Fan quite well. If he guessed correctly, Lu Fan had probably already reached the Spirit King realm but was merely hiding his strength.
"All disciples of Beihai Academy, immediately proceed to Yunfeng!"
As they were talking, an ancient voice sounded. Everyone looked up, and numerous figures from Beihai Academy began to converge towards Yunfeng, appearing to be crowded.
"Could it be that the Peak Competition is about to begin?"
Chu Ting spoke. "Otherwise, why would they order everyone to go to Yunfeng!"
"The annual Peak Battle is always held at Yunfeng. I presume this time will be no exception!"
Li Ziming spoke. "It's a pity that with our talent, it seems unlikely for us to achieve a ranking in the Peak Competition!"
"It's unlikely for us, but it doesn't mean it's impossible for our sect leader!"
Han Feng smiled. "I believe our sect leader is determined to win this Peak Competition!"
Everyone looked at Lu Fan with anticipation. Although Lu Fan had hidden his strength, they all knew very well that Lu Fan would surely be a dark horse in this Peak Competition.
They had all witnessed how Lu Fan had repelled Elder Seven with his own power back in the academy.
Not long after, Lu Fan and the others set off for Yunfeng without any delay.
Upon arriving at Yunfeng, they saw a sea of people, with countless powerful individuals among them.
"Is this the foundation of Beihai Academy?"
Lu Fan exclaimed. These disciples alone were enough to be awe-inspiring. If any sect dared to oppose Beihai Academy, they would be seeking their own demise.
"Beihai Academy, the Peak Competition is about to commence. You will each draw lots to determine your opponents!"
On the high platform, the Great Elder of the academy spoke, his gaze sweeping over the numerous disciples, carrying a formidable aura.
"So it's a draw for the competition. With so many people, how can it possibly be finished!"
Lu Fan expressed his surprise and looked around.
"There is a barrier space on Yunfeng, and each barrier contains a competition arena!"
Bi Yao walked over. "So there's no need to worry about the venue!"
"I see!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He hadn't expected Beihai Academy to have such capabilities.
"With Junior Brother Lu's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to enter the top five in this Peak Competition!"
Bi Yao chuckled. "I hope we don't get assigned to each other, otherwise I won't hold back!"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Bi Yao. I won't go easy on you either!"
Lu Fan stated directly, exuding confidence, even in front of Bi Yao.
The reason for this was that Lu Fan had already reached the Spirit King realm. If he were to truly fight, he might not necessarily lose to Bi Yao.
"As expected, full of confidence!"
Bi Yao showed admiration. In the entire Beihai Academy, Lu Fan was probably the only one who could speak to her in such a manner.
As time passed, everyone had entered the drawing phase.
Lu Fan held a lot in his hand and simultaneously looked towards a formation barrier, which would be his battlefield.
The others present also looked towards the various formation barriers. Today's Peak Competition was of utmost importance to the disciples of Beihai Academy, and many disciples would surely give their all.
Upon entering the barrier, Lu Fan saw a man in green standing there. When he saw Lu Fan, he was slightly surprised.
"It's you?" the man in green exclaimed.
"What, you seem to recognize me?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent as he looked at the man in green. Lu Fan did not seem to know the man before him.
"Of course, I recognize you. I was watching from the side when you repelled Elder Seven that day!" the man in green nodded.
