298: Morale

"Morale?"

Xiao Fan was stunned, looking at General Yang Yuan's serious expression.

But the next second, he reacted sharply.

Ever since he defeated Helden of the same rank, people had bestowed upon him the title of the number one Genius.

Not the Human Race's number one Genius, but the world's number one Genius!

However, because his battle record wasn't impressive enough, many people actually didn't agree.

Xiao Fan hadn't fought others of his generation yet; he hadn't defeated Ying Zheng, Xi He, or Zeus.

But the Great General took the lead, setting the rhythm and placing this domineering title on his head.

A title is glory!

Xiao Fan originally thought that glory was just something to show off with, without any practical meaning.

So, he didn't care about those who didn't acknowledge him, too lazy to explain or prove himself.

But upon hearing the words "morale" from General Yang Yuan's mouth, he suddenly understood everything and knew why the Great General wanted to set this rhythm.

He wants me to walk the invincible path of the Overlord from back then!

In that era, the Human Race's hard power was completely inferior to that of the foreign races, but because the younger generation had the Overlord, the Human Race endured one bloody battle after another.

Because...

When the Overlord first emerged, he had already clashed with several Demon King Groups, all resulting in great victories!

This was not only the Overlord's battle record and glory but also encouraged the soldiers in all war zones, making them feel that even their sacrifice was worthwhile!

Because with the Overlord, this shining new star, everyone believed that a beautiful and peaceful future was real, not a dream!

They just needed to hold on until the Overlord grew stronger!

They just needed to wait for the day the Overlord moved from behind them to in front of them.

The Human Race would open a new chapter, and more Juniors could live happily, no longer needing to endure those hardships.

The Overlord's sudden emergence allowed people to see golden hope!

Ultimately, the Overlord lived up to expectations!

After truly becoming invincible, he brought nearly a hundred years of peace to the Human Race until he flew out of the Star Sea!

The title of the number one Genius is glory.

But glory is not just a tool for showing off.

At this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly understood why the Overlord had answered with those somewhat crude words, "showing off," on the Peak Tower back then.

He had naively thought at the time that the Overlord truly fought and worked hard just to show off.

Only at this moment did he realize.

The meaning of showing off is not mere boasting.

Instead, it is to let everyone know: I am strong, extremely strong, strong enough to show off casually.

The people I protect can live in peace, without needing to worry about the flying cannon fire landing on their heads!

Xiao Fan chuckled wryly.

So, this was the true meaning of the Overlord telling me to show off.

This contest with Kuang Xing was not without benefits.

It's just that the Great General had already paid all the costs beforehand!

Now, it was his turn to fulfill his promise.

The morale of the Human Race shall be boosted by me, the world's number one Genius!

From today onwards, he would absolutely not avoid any challenges from anyone!

He wanted to win, to keep winning!

He wanted to tell everyone, I, Xiao Fan, am the world's number one Genius!

When I grow up, the world will be at peace, the mountains and seas unharmed, and the Human Race prosperous!

Thinking of this, he looked up at General Yang Yuan, revealing a wild smile.

"Try to stall him for me; I'll find a way to kill him!"

General Yang Yuan was stunned, thinking that killing Kuang Xing under the noses of the three Royal figures, including Niem, would not be easy.

It wasn't that he couldn't stop him, but a very simple principle.

If Niem got serious and started fighting him, the aftermath of the Martial God battlefield would be immense, and then Xiao Fan and Kuang Xing would definitely be affected.

Moreover, a Martial God has countless methods, and saving someone by any means necessary is truly difficult to stop.

But... the Junior's words were set.

How could I, an elder... hold him back!

He suddenly swung his long spear, his Aura like a Dragon, and grinned, "As you wish."

As his voice fell, his eyes became solemn, entering a combat state, staring intently at the three Royal foreign races opposite him, ready to act at any moment to prevent them from saving Kuang Xing.

On the other side, a mysterious pale golden mask slowly appeared on Aya's face, filled with a strange beauty. She held menacing-looking knuckle dusters in both hands, then twisted her shoulders, standing shoulder to shoulder with General Yang Yuan.

Wen Shuangshuang looked at Xiao Fan with slight worry and said, "Do you need healing?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, took out a bottle of Source Fluid, and drank it all, then said with a hint of mockery, "He's just a defeated opponent. Even if I give him half his life, he won't win."

"Then take it easy."

After speaking, a sky-blue narcissus dress appeared on Wen Shuangshuang, with a colorful wreath on her head. She leaped up like a princess, standing beside Aya.

Six powerhouses confronted each other in the sky.

Below, Xiao Fan and Kuang Xing stared at each other.

Kuang Xing shook his head and said, "You have no idea how strong I am now."

"Killing me is nothing but a dream."

As his voice fell, his body suddenly shot up, a wind barrier exploded, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Xiao Fan.

His fist, as big as a sandbag, carried the sound of tearing air and slammed violently towards Xiao Fan's face.

Xiao Fan, however, closed his eyes, opened his Kong Wu Realm, and easily dodged the punch by shifting his body.

But the next second, the raindrops above his head suddenly turned into sharp ice blades, falling one after another.

Yet, under the enhancement of Kong Wu Realm, Xiao Fan moved like an elf through the rain. Not a single one of the dense ice blades touched his body!

At this point, he understood Kuang Xing's first ability: ice element!

Furthermore, he was constantly retreating!

He didn't intend to attack because his goal was to kill Kuang Xing, so he kept retreating, trying to widen the distance from the three Royal foreign races in the sky.

But unexpectedly, Niem and the others reacted extremely quickly, catching up swiftly. After being blocked by General Yang Yuan, Niem simply roared, "Don't be led by Xiao Fan!"

"Either fight here at the border, or don't fight at all!"

Upon hearing this, Kuang Xing also remained very calm, stopping his steps and staring coldly at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan sighed, thinking, 'This is truly difficult!'

"Alright, then we'll fight at the border."

At this moment.

Kuang Xing linked and condensed all the surrounding ice, transforming it into an even larger ice blade, with no gaps within it, and it descended with immense force!

But against this powerful attack, Xiao Fan still easily and perfectly dodged it. Not only was there no ice on him, but not even a single drop of rain touched him.

He stopped in mid-air, crossed his arms, and sneered, "How about this, I'll let you have one more round. Use whatever means you have.

"After all, I am the world's number one Genius. To kill you, I don't need to be serious."

Kuang Xing's face darkened.

The Kong Wu Realm was truly too strong, but he hadn't mastered it yet; he had just entered the No Self Realm.

But it wasn't a big problem!

His palm gently touched the ice blade that had brushed past Xiao Fan.

In just an instant, a dark, strange gas began to emerge around the hundred-meter-long giant ice blade.

This gas was not clinging to the outside of the ice but had merged with the ice.

Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Ghost Race, Black Swamp Power, has many effects, one of which is to isolate Space Laws, which is very troublesome!

At this moment, Xiao Fan turned his head to look.

He saw Kuang Xing continuously outputting, condensing more and more water droplets into ice, and the black gas was also rapidly spreading along with it.

In an instant, extreme ice occupied a thousand-meter radius, like a long snake, sweeping towards Xiao Fan.
