354: Zhou Haotian, Fan Paopao

Xinglong Academy, the main gate wide open, welcoming guests from all directions!

At the academy entrance, crowds surged as figures entered the academy; these people came from various major academies!

Standing at the entrance of Xinglong Academy was an old man, with several figures following behind him.

This old man was precisely the head of Xinglong Academy, Fan Qiu, and the figures behind him were all Masters of Xinglong Academy.

Fan Qiu appeared to be around seventy years old, with a cultivation of the third level of the Dao Severing Realm. He had a solemn expression and was stern, looking like someone who was not easy to get along with at first glance.

Standing at the academy gate, he naturally wasn't there to welcome the heads of other academies, but was specifically there to welcome one person.

This person's name was Zhou Haotian, the Peak Master of Heavenly Star Peak of the Heavenly Star Sect, and he was the most mysterious person in the entire Heavenly Star Sect.

The Heavenly Star Sect had twelve peaks, and Heavenly Star Peak was hailed as the number one peak after the Main Peak, naturally making it extremely formidable.

However, the number of people at Heavenly Star Peak was the fewest among all peaks. Aside from those Utility Disciples, it was said that everyone else combined could be counted on one hand.

Despite this, no one dared to cause trouble at Heavenly Star Peak.

Zhou Haotian had once fought the eleven Peak Masters alone, holding out for hundreds of rounds before being defeated, which showed the terrifying nature of his combat power!

Some said this was Zhou Haotian giving Face to the eleven Peak Masters by intentionally losing, but no one knew the specifics.

This time, the Heavenly Star Sect would send representatives to attend the Dao Discussion Competition at Xinglong Academy, and the leader was precisely this most mysterious Peak Master Zhou!

Fan Qiu came here specifically to welcome him because his biological grandson, Fan Paopao, would also participate in this Dao Discussion Convention.

Fan Paopao was very outstanding; at only twenty-five years old, he was already at the fifth level of the Soul Splitting Realm and had opened seven dao platforms.

In Fan Qiu's view, if nurtured well, his grandson Fan Paopao might not necessarily be inferior to the Heavenly Star Sect's number one Genius, Long Batian!

He very much hoped his grandson could become a disciple under Zhou Haotian and leave the Heavenly Star Province in the future.

Because behind Old Zhou was the incomparably powerful Zhou Family, which could rank among the top one hundred Families even looking at the entire continent, dominating its own region!

Just then, a man hurried over, his Face as fair as jade and his eyebrows slender, looking like a woman's.

His eyes were small, his lips were thin, and a confident smile hung on his Face. Dressed in purple clothes, he looked like a graceful Young Master.

This person was precisely Fan Paopao!

He quickly walked up to stand behind Fan Qiu, a trace of a lewd smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

He was reminiscing about what had just happened; that Junior Sister's figure was quite good—soft enough, big enough, and smooth enough!

"Why did you only just arrive?"

Fan Qiu looked at Fan Paopao and spoke with a slight frown.

Fan Paopao quickly cupped his fists and said, "Grandfather, I suddenly had an epiphany just now and thought I could achieve a Breakthrough, so I hurried to Cultivate for a while, which delayed me!"

Hearing Fan Paopao say this, Fan Qiu's expression softened slightly. Just as he was about to speak, three figures slowly approached from the distance.

Seeing these three, Fan Qiu's Face couldn't help but change slightly as the scene he had witnessed last night flashed through his mind like a movie.

A trace of awe couldn't help but appear in his eyes as he quickly smiled and said, "Head Gu, welcome to Xinglong Academy."

The three people before him were precisely the Old Academy Head, Ji Wuchang, and Jiang Yuanxiong.

Ji Wuchang had also only learned last night that the Old Academy Head's surname was Gu, with the single name Sheng!

Ji Wuchang sized up Fan Qiu and found that Fan Qiu's gaze swept back and forth between him and Jiang Yuanxiong, finally landing on him with a look of emotion in his eyes!

The battle from last night had already spread throughout Xinglong City, and Ji Wuchang had become the subject of discussion for countless people.

He was decisive in killing, showing no mercy when he acted, and every strike was a finishing blow; one could tell at a glance that he was a ruthless person.

Such a junior was naturally someone everyone liked, but unfortunately, he wasn't from their own Family!

Old Academy Head Gu Sheng smiled slightly, cupped his fists, and said, "Head Fan, it's been a long time!"

Fan Qiu laughed and said politely, "Head Gu, please come inside. I still have a special guest to welcome here, so I won't accompany you in."

"After entering the academy, someone will naturally guide you to find where Yunchuan Academy is located!"

Gu Sheng nodded and led Ji Wuchang and the others slowly inside.

Once the three figures disappeared, Fan Paopao couldn't help but say, "Grandfather, Yunchuan Academy is just a small academy in a remote location. Is there a need to be so polite?"

In Fan Paopao's view, giving a nod of greeting to such an academy was already giving the other party Face.

"What do you know! You probably don't know about what happened last night yet, do you?"

Fan Qiu glared fiercely at Fan Paopao and asked.

Upon hearing this, Fan Paopao instantly felt quite guilty. Yesterday, he had tricked two Junior Sisters in the academy into his room.

When the sounds of intense fighting came from outside, he was also busy and happy, his bald army charging in and out of the swamp, so how could he be in the mood to care about such things?

He had appeared so late just now because, first, he had woken up late, and second, he had just used his hands to 'measure' a Junior Sister; he was completely unaware of what had happened last night.

"Grandfather, I was in secluded Cultivation last night. What happened?"

Fan Paopao quickly asked. He knew his grandfather would definitely tell him!

Sure enough, hearing his grandson say he was in secluded Cultivation, Fan Qiu didn't say much more and just briefly recounted the events of yesterday.

"Don't look at the fact that only three people came from Yunchuan Academy; their strength is extremely formidable."

"That head goes without saying; he is already ahead of me, and I am by no means his match."

"As for the two he brought, one is at the first level of the Six Gods Realm and the other is at the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Realm; both are rare Geniuses!"

"Especially that man at the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Realm; his combat power is even more remarkable!"

"You must absolutely not challenge him during today's Dao Discussion. Remember what your grandfather said!"

Hearing this, Fan Paopao was instantly unconvinced.

The opponent was only at the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Realm, while he was at the fifth level.

Moreover, he was someone who had opened seven dao platforms; he didn't believe the other party's combat power could be stronger than his.

The more his grandfather forbade him from challenging, the more he wanted to do it. He was a Genius rarely seen in a hundred years at Xinglong Academy!

In Fan Paopao's heart, Long Batian was his target to catch up to; as for others, he didn't care about them!

Just then, an old man walked slowly from the distance, followed by a woman who was quite beautiful.

This woman was precisely Chu Yanran, with a cultivation of the fifth level of the Six Gods Realm.

And this old man was precisely Zhou Haotian from the Heavenly Star Peak of the Heavenly Star Sect.

He had originally come alone, but happened to run into Chu Yanran out on a trial in Xinglong City, so he brought her along.

The moment he saw Chu Yanran, Fan Paopao's eyes instantly lit up. Compared to the other women he had slept with before, Chu Yanran was clearly several levels higher.

At this moment, Fan Paopao's gaze could no longer be moved away.

"Fan Qiu pays respects to Old Zhou!"

Upon seeing Zhou Haotian, excitement appeared in Fan Qiu's eyes, and he hurried forward to pay his respects.

Zhou Haotian's expression was indifferent as he spoke calmly, "Head Fan, there's no need for such formalities!"
