The Nameless Elder spoke no further, directly unleashing his aura. He wanted to see if Lu Fan could truly meet his expectations.
In that instant, under Lu Fan's Sacred Domain, the Nameless Elder appeared to walk on level ground, as if the Sacred Domain was utterly insignificant before him.
Concurrently, Lu Fan's expression grew solemn. He cared deeply about this, for he knew very well that any slip-up would prevent him from participating in the Peak Battle within a hundred moves, making it impossible to obtain the inheritance of the Central Continent Academy.
"You brat, be careful. I'm about to make my move!"
The Nameless Elder issued a warning, narrowing his eyes, his gaze becoming even more piercing.
Lu Fan stood ready, fully aware that a Great Saint-level expert was not someone he could easily contend with. All he could do now was to forcefully resist with his own strength.
In that very moment, over ten moves had passed. To everyone's astonishment, Lu Fan showed no signs of defeat at the hands of the Nameless Elder, leaving them somewhat bewildered. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
At the same time, Lin Wuya's brow furrowed. They had initially dismissed Lu Fan as insignificant, but it seemed that was not the case. Based on the methods Lu Fan had just displayed, he was indeed extraordinary.
"I truly didn't expect that within the Central Continent Academy, there would be someone who could fight the Nameless Elder to a draw! Could it be that the Nameless Elder is going easy on him?"
Many people spoke out, expressing their great surprise. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
They were all very clear about how powerful the Nameless Elder was. To be able to fight him to a draw, perhaps even Lin Wuya might not be able to achieve that.
"Such a formidable physical body!"
Lin Wuya stood aside, murmuring to himself, his heart filled with shock.
Originally, in his eyes, no one within the entire Central Continent Academy could surpass him. However, Lu Fan's appearance had caused him to change his perspective.
"Good lad, you truly haven't disappointed me!"
The Nameless Elder said coldly, "Your physical body is so strong that even I might not be able to do much to you. If this continues, I might not be able to defeat you even after three hundred moves!"
"Thank you for the praise, Elder!"
Lu Fan smiled gently. "Since Elder has said so, does that mean I have passed the test?"
"Naturally not!"
The Nameless Elder shrugged. "Although your physical body is strong, I haven't used any techniques. It wouldn't be fair to them!"
With that, the Nameless Elder looked at Lu Fan again. "You brat, be careful. You've already passed ninety moves, but the next ten moves won't be so simple!"
Lu Fan was slightly startled and quickly retreated. If his guess was correct, the Nameless Elder was definitely going to use his full power. If that were the case, with his current strength, he would be utterly incapable of handling it.
"I truly didn't expect that he, merely at the peak of the Saint realm, not even reaching Saint King, could fight the Nameless Elder for so long!"
Xu Kuo exclaimed in surprise. "If he were to break through the Saint King bottleneck, wouldn't that..."
"Not necessarily!"
Hu Xian'er shook her head. "The first few dozen moves were about physical strength. From now on, it will likely be troublesome!"
The Young Master of the Tao Family nodded slightly. Lu Fan's advantage was his physical body, which was why he possessed such strength. If the Nameless Elder used his full power, it was questionable whether Lu Fan could even withstand ten moves.
Even Lin Wuya, who had reached the Great Saint realm, couldn't break through two hundred moves against the Nameless Elder, which was enough to show the might of a Great Saint expert.
Sensing the surging aura constantly pressing in, Lu Fan quickly dodged, even unleashing a powerful aura to forcefully block it, but was instantly sent flying by the shockwave.
Seeing this, the crowd let out a gasp. As expected, after the Nameless Elder truly made his move, Lu Fan was struggling to cope.
If it weren't for Lu Fan's robust physique earlier, that single wave of energy might have cost him his life.
*Pfft...*
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lu Fan's face turned somewhat pale, but he showed no intention of leaving.
"Elder, there are seven moves left!"
"You brat!"
The Nameless Elder chuckled. "You've done very well. To last over ninety moves at your current realm is already incredibly heaven-defying. However, to reach a hundred moves, given your current situation, you probably won't make it!"
"According to the assessment rules, not leaving the barrier means not being defeated!"
Lu Fan said with a light smile. "I don't think I'm wrong, am I!"
Following these words, the Nameless Elder narrowed his eyes. "Why must you push yourself so hard, young man? Even if you pass the assessment, you won't become the academy's number one. After all, your realm is too far from Lin Wuya's. If you wait another hundred years, perhaps you and he could compete on equal footing!"
"Thank you for your concern, Elder, but I care about the assessment. As for being number one, I don't mind!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Please, Elder Nameless, make your move!"
Lin Wuya stood aside, feeling a sense of admiration. If it were anyone else, they would have long since given up and gone to heal. But he hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so resolute.
In an instant, the Nameless Elder's powerful aura surged forward, and Lu Fan was once again sent flying. Even with his full resistance, he appeared vulnerable before a Great Saint.
"Is this the power of a Great Saint!"
Hu Xian'er trembled slightly. Such a formidable aura was indeed daunting.
"The strength of a Great Saint is naturally extraordinary!"
The Young Master of the Tao Family nodded. "How could someone who has become a Great Saint be an ordinary person!"
Within the barrier, Lu Fan's body slammed heavily onto the ground, his aura becoming weak.
"Admit defeat, brat!"
The Nameless Elder chuckled. "The Peak Battle this time is ultimately not your stage!"
"Elder Nameless, there's no need for further words. If you have the ability, just throw me out of the barrier!"
Lu Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression becoming somewhat indifferent.
"Since that is the case, then as you wish!"
The Nameless Elder smiled, transforming into a streak of light and charging towards Lu Fan, carrying an overwhelming aura.
Concurrently, powerful spiritual energy spread everywhere, rushing towards Lu Fan.
In the blink of an eye, the Nameless Elder arrived before Lu Fan. If this powerful aura collided, it would undoubtedly create ripples.
As everyone watched with concern, Lu Fan's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot and reappeared elsewhere.
"Teleportation?"
Seeing this, the crowd was filled with surprise and uncertainty. They had seen that scene clearly just now; it was indeed teleportation, but how could Lu Fan achieve it!
"Perhaps even a Great Saint cannot teleport. How did he do it!"
A man spoke out, his heart filled with shock.
