A thunderous roar.
The entire venue exploded!
On the Star Sand City side.
Xiong Fei and his cousin Xiong Daying’s eyeballs nearly popped out, their expressions a mask of utter shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Damn it!
What in the world was going on?
Wasn’t Ling Fan supposed to be a good-for-nothing…
My god, how could this be!
His father, Xiong Kuang, was a genuine peak late-stage Xuan Gang realm expert, yet he hadn’t even touched the hem of this kid’s clothes before his arms were broken by the backlash of the kid’s true qi…
What kind of monster was this kid!
It wasn’t just Xiong Fei and Xiong Daying; everyone from Star Sand City was completely dumbfounded. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Ling Fan was a martial arts prodigy!
And that his strength was terrifyingly immense.
Old Han from the Governor’s Mansion’s eyes shot out sharp beams of light, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
As for Chu Tiange beside him, his mouth was agape, wide enough to swallow a fist!
At this very moment, the top young master of the Governor’s Mansion in Tianchu Province was utterly devastated…
What a joke!
He had always viewed Ling Fan as a completely harmless cripple…
And now they were telling him that Ling Fan wasn’t only not a cripple, but a super prodigy who completely crushed him in terms of strength.
The strength Ling Fan had suddenly displayed completely overturned his worldview, giving him a sense of absurd illusion.
It wasn’t just Chu Tiange.
Luo Qi of Miyun Mountain, Fan Hanlin of Seven Star Cave.
They were all incredibly astonished, their expressions showing a shock akin to a small knife cutting a buttock – they had truly seen something.
Not to mention geniuses like Ding Shijie of the Ding family, Jiang Yang of the Jiang family, Nong Hexuan of the Nong family.
Damn it all.
So this kid had been playing the part of a pig to eat the tiger all along, no wonder he was so arrogant, he had been hiding his true strength so deeply.
Everyone had been deceived by him!
The entire venue was in an uproar because of Ling Fan.
On the Liu family’s side.
Liu Yubei stood there, his eyes vacant, as if petrified.
He felt dizzy and disoriented by the powerful aura of true qi radiating from Ling Fan.
This kid was actually a genius!
And a super, super, super genius!
To be able to break the arms of a peak late-stage Xuan Gang realm expert with just true qi…
What kind of strength was this?
His starting point was at least peak Xuan Gang realm, or even more terrifying!
In the face of Ling Fan’s proud strength, those so-called top geniuses of Tianchu Province, Nong Hexuan, Ding Shijie, Jiang Yang, and the like, were simply trash!
Even the three geniuses from the three behemoths – the Governor’s Mansion, Miyun Mountain, and Seven Star Cave – Chu Tiange, Fan Hanlin, and Luo Qi, were no exception. Compared to Ling Fan, they weren’t even fit to carry his shoes!
What was the point of being a genius at the early stage of Xuan Gang realm?
Ling Fan was a peak Xuan Gang realm expert, or even stronger!
And the most terrifying thing was that Ling Fan was even younger than them.
What did this mean?
Ling Fan’s talent was terrifying to the extreme!
His potential was terrifying to the extreme.
Even the prodigies like Chu Tiange, Luo Qi, and Fan Hanlin were completely crushed by Ling Fan, let alone those so-called geniuses from Star Sand City.
If Ling Fan’s brilliance was compared to the sun and moon.
Then Liu Xiwei, Miao Qingqing, Qiao Feiyu, Deng Wen, Deng Wu, and the like.
Were like fireflies!
How could the light of fireflies contend with the sun and moon!
Beside Liu Yubei.
Liu Xiwei’s shock was no less than her father’s, perhaps even greater.
Looking at Ling Fan, who was radiating brilliance in the center of the arena.
Her heart was churning like a stormy sea, unable to calm down.
So she had misjudged him all along!
Now she finally understood why Ling Fan had maintained that calm, detached, and arrogant demeanor from beginning to end, as if nothing could stir his emotions in the slightest.
Because he had the confidence!
He had the right to be so arrogant.
Before, they all thought that Ling Fan’s arrogance and wildness were because Liang Hutou, a peak Xuan Gang realm expert, was backing him.
Now, it seemed, that wasn’t the case at all!
What Ling Fan relied on, from beginning to end, was his own strength.
It was laughable that they, with their mortal eyes, simply couldn’t see it.
The more Liu Xiwei thought about it, the hotter her face felt, as if it were burning.
As soon as she remembered the words she had spoken to Ling Fan before, and her arrogant attitude of disdain towards him, she felt extremely ashamed!
She had actually thought of herself as a swan, and Ling Fan as a toad!
Little did she know that Ling Fan was the divine dragon in the heavens.
And she was just a sparrow, a wild chicken.
A deep sense of regret welled up in her heart.
If she had known this would happen, she should have seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Ling Fan first arrived at their Liu family!
Perhaps she could have won Ling Fan’s favor!
It was ironic that she had never even looked at Ling Fan properly before.
Her attention was entirely focused on the top geniuses and young masters from Tianchu Province.
Little did she know.
She had been so terribly wrong.
Seeking the distant while neglecting the near!
The true peerless prodigy was right beside her.
He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, around her age.
She was only at the peak of the Qi Refining realm.
Yet Ling Fan was already at the peak Xuan Gang realm, or even stronger.
She couldn’t even imagine what heights Ling Fan would reach in the future…
A Martial Grandmaster?
Or even a Martial King in the Giant Spirit realm…
Liu Xiwei staggered, her heart filled with bitterness and shame.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiran, who was kneeling on the ground, revealed an unbelievable, brilliant light in her eyes, like two lustrous black gemstones.
Brother Ling Fan is so strong!
He even saved Big Brother!
“Hahaha, Master, you’ve finally appeared!”
Although Liang Hutou was being stepped on by Ding Chunxiu with a bloodied face, he let out a hearty laugh.
Ji Hong also looked at Ling Fan with immense reverence and awe.
Even though Ling Fan had never shown his strength in front of him before.
Ji Hong had maintained a sense of reverence for this mysterious young man from the very beginning.
Seeing him today proved that his intuition was correct.
Ling Fan nodded at Liang Hutou, Liu Xiran, and Ji Hong.
Then, without even glancing at Xiong Kuang, who was howling on the ground, he walked towards Ding Chunxiu and the others.
Ding Chunxiu’s expression was extremely grave.
Ling Fan’s body did not exude any martial qi fluctuations, but was instead enveloped in the radiance of true qi, clearly indicating he was still a Qi Refining realm martial artist!
However, the implication of this was the most daunting.
A Qi Refining realm expert crushing a peak late-stage Xuan Gang realm expert!
This young man was too terrifying.
His strength was likely on par with their quasi-master level experts.
Even as a quasi-Heavenly Origin realm expert, he was now somewhat uncertain.
“Young Master Ling, all I want is that Blood Spirit Fruit. As long as you give me the Blood Spirit Fruit, I, Ding Chunxiu, will leave immediately!”
Ding Chunxiu said with a solemn expression.
Ling Fan grinned, but his smile was filled with a chilling coldness, as if the temperature in the air had plummeted to freezing point.
“You injured my people, and you still want to leave? You can leave, but you’ll have to leave lying down!”
