"Yes, you also need to defeat a seeded disciple."
"According to tradition, you will challenge one of the three lowest-ranked seeded disciples among the thirty-six. You may choose any one of them."
"Everyone, please show yourselves."
Qian Shan Xuan Di looked up indifferently.
He spoke to the void above.
Following that.
Powerful figures, like gods and demons, emerged from the void.
Nineteen seeded disciples had come to spectate this time.
Not so many had originally come.
However, the commotion from Ling Fan and Gao Tian Shen's previous battle was too great.
It had alerted many powerful seeded disciples to come and watch.
"He Xu, Jing Jue Yu, Luo Heng, please the three of you come out."
Qian Shan Xuan Di said.
Three figures stepped out from the nineteen powerful presences.
"Fan Lin, these three seeded disciples are ranked thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, and thirty-sixth respectively. Do not underestimate their rankings. Any one of them, if placed in the outside world, would be able to easily slaughter ordinary peak sixth-stage Xuan Di."
"You may choose one now."
Qian Shan Xuan Di said to Ling Fan.
Ling Fan's gaze fell upon He Xu, Jing Jue Yu, and Luo Heng.
Just as he was about to casually pick one.
At that moment.
A supremely powerful figure among the nineteen seeded disciples spoke.
"Fan Lin, I will fight you. Do you dare to accept?"
Qian Shan Xuan Di knitted his brows slightly.
He looked at the speaker.
"Gao Zhen Kuai, do not break the rules! You are the tenth-ranked seeded disciple, and you intend to fight a true disciple? Do you think that is appropriate? Everyone must have some principles."
Gao Zhen Kuai!
Upon hearing this name.
Countless Qing Xuan Sect disciples below were shocked again.
In the Qing Xuan Sect.
This name was also as thunderous as it was familiar.
This Gao Zhen Kuai, like Gao Tian Shen, was also a proud scion of the Gao family. He had once advanced triumphantly, forcefully defeating countless opponents to become a seeded disciple.
His prominence was not much less than Gao Tian Shen's.
However, after becoming a seeded disciple.
This Gao Zhen Kuai had instead gone into seclusion.
He focused on cultivation.
Now, no one knew what his true strength had reached.
But his high ranking of tenth was enough to prove everything.
"Qian Shan, what qualification do you have to speak to me, your defeated opponent? After I defeated you, you lost all ambition and chose to withdraw from the competition for sect master, becoming an elder managing mundane affairs. This alone proves that you are merely a passerby of this era, incapable of becoming the protagonist of this era! I, Gao Zhen Kuai, am the protagonist of this era."
Gao Zhen Kuai said indifferently.
His words were filled with unconcealable arrogance.
"You!"
Qian Shan Xuan Di's face flushed red.
His eyes spewed forth with rage.
But soon.
Qian Shan Xuan Di calmed down.
He said coldly, "I am indeed inferior to you. However, I am currently the person in charge of the seeded disciple competition. I have the final say, and you have no right to interfere with Fan Lin's choice. I will absolutely not allow you to suppress Fan Lin!"
He turned to Ling Fan and said, "Fan Lin, ignore this madman. Choose one of these three. After defeating him, you will become a seeded disciple."
A murderous glint flashed in Gao Zhen Kuai's eyes as he glanced at Qian Shan Xuan Di.
He then looked at Ling Fan and said arrogantly, "You beat Gao Tian Shen so badly just now, you even destroyed his physical body. Didn't you boast that all people of the Gao family are mediocre trash? I challenge you now. Do you dare to accept! If you don't dare to accept, then admit that you are a coward. Even if you become a seeded disciple in the future, when you see me and other members of the Gao family, you will still have to be discreet and live with your tail between your legs."
Ling Fan smiled.
But his smile was filled with coldness.
"You want to suppress me, right? Fine, I accept this battle!"
As soon as Ling Fan said this.
The surroundings were instantly shocked.
Lu Rui, Lu Wei, Long Xuan, Guo Gui, and the others almost jumped up in anxiety.
Qian Shan Xuan Di also frowned and advised, "Fan Lin, do not fall for his provocation. He has been a seeded disciple for decades, and his cultivation has reached the peak of sixth-stage Xuan Di. I am not his match. He is simply bullying the weak. You can completely ignore his challenge; no one will say anything to you."
Ling Fan smiled, shook his head, and said, "This scoundrel is asking for a beating. Of course, I will oblige him."
"Good! You have guts."
Gao Zhen Kuai narrowed his eyes.
His killing intent was palpable.
Ling Fan said, "However, I have one condition."
"What condition? You want me to limit my cultivation to the same fifth-stage Xuan Di as yours? That's not impossible!" Gao Zhen Kuai said proudly.
Ling Fan shook his head, "There is no need for that. My condition is that this battle... is without regard for life or death, a fight to the death! No one is allowed to interfere."
Whoosh!
As soon as Ling Fan finished speaking.
Countless gasps of cold air erupted like a tide.
Everyone believed Ling Fan had completely lost his mind!
He actually wanted to fight to the death with Gao Zhen Kuai, who was ranked among the top ten seeded disciples.
Gao Zhen Kuai was not Gao Tian Shen.
Although their talents might be similar.
Gao Zhen Kuai had entered the sixth-stage Xuan Di decades earlier than Gao Tian Shen.
The gap between them could be described as a chasm.
How could Ling Fan believe he could shake a prodigy like Gao Zhen Kuai?
"Fan Lin, do you know what you are saying? Absolutely do not act rashly!" Qian Shan Xuan Di stopped him.
A fierce light flashed in Gao Zhen Kuai's eyes.
Fearing that Ling Fan would regret it, he immediately said, "Good! Since you are determined to seek death, then I will grant your wish. This battle will be to the death, and no one will interfere."
Ling Fan ignored Qian Shan Xuan Di's dissuasion.
He looked coldly at Gao Zhen Kuai.
And said, "Can you guarantee that when you face death, the people of the Gao family will not intervene?"
"The Gao family will absolutely not intervene. Moreover... such a thing will never happen."
Gao Zhen Kuai said proudly.
"I can guarantee it." At this moment.
A voice like heavenly might resounded.
A terrifying, immense aura descended.
In everyone's perception.
It was as if a vast, boundless heaven and earth were pressing down.
So powerful that it made everyone suffocate.
Countless people looked up in awe.
They saw a tall, slender, transcendent figure, stepping on vast golden light, emerging from the void.
This person was as handsome as a celestial being.
His might was overwhelming.
He looked down upon all directions.
Like a young, peerless emperor descending to the mortal realm.
It was the Vice Sect Master of Qing Xuan Sect.
The most outstanding descendant in the history of the Gao family.
Gao Gan!
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master."
Countless disciples of Qing Xuan Sect bowed down like a tide.
Upon seeing this person appear.
Ling Fan's expression finally became truly solemn.
An incredibly young, peerless Heavenly Emperor!
This person, even in the vast Central Heavenly Realm, could be considered a true genius.
The aura of a young Heavenly Emperor he had sensed that day.
It was this person.
"Vice Sect Master Gao holds a high position and great authority. You have given your word, and I hope you will not go back on it," Ling Fan said indifferently.
Gao Gan frowned slightly.
He said nothing.
Gao Zhen Kuai roared, "Presumptuous! How dare you speak to the Vice Sect Master like that? I truly don't know where your confidence comes from. You are on the brink of death, so come and accept your fate quickly."
Gao Zhen Kuai descended with a roar.
