240: Then let your strength speak for you! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Lin Fan looked at those eager gazes, nodded in acknowledgment, and then his eyes turned towards the center of the arena.

A familiar slender figure, with a black ponytail that created a gentle curve at her supple waist, was Ying Huanhuan, who had once made a bet with Lin Fan.

At this moment, in front of Ying Huanhuan, the emerald green zither had already been brought out again, clearly indicating that her opponent this time was not weak either.

Her opponent was also a woman, dressed in red, tall and quite beautiful. Her slightly raised eyebrows suggested she was a proud and arrogant person.

The red-clothed woman held a red whip that looked like a fire python coiling and striking, with strange and tricky curves. Faint but strong fluctuations emanated from it, clearly indicating it was a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure of considerable power.

"That woman is Song Yan, one of the top three among the younger generation of Hongya Cave. It's said she recently broke through to the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm," Mo Ling whispered beside Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, saying nothing.

After returning to the Dao Sect last time, Ying Huanhuan's strength had also broken through to the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm. With her abilities, a victory in this match should not be an issue.

Lin Fan's gaze swept around and finally landed on the location of the Hongya Cave Disciples, looking at a black-clothed man with his arms crossed.

This person was similar to Luo Yi and Xiao Tian back then, likely at the peak of the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm.

"That guy is Huo Zhen, the strongest among the younger generation of Hongya Cave. It's said he could challenge the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm at any time," Mo Ling continued, following Lin Fan's gaze. "He is also the only one from Hongya Cave who hasn't made a move yet."

As they spoke, the Dao Sect disciples, excited by the arrival of reinforcements, quickly and automatically made way, pushing the two to the very front.

Lin Fan's arrival caused quite a stir.

Therefore, when he was pushed to the front, the Hongya Cave Disciples opposite immediately focused their attention on Lin Fan.

"Who is that guy? I haven't heard of such a person among the troublesome Disciples of the Dao Sect's Four Halls."

The Hongya Cave Disciples looked at Lin Fan, who clearly possessed high prestige, and couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and uncertainty.

Huo Zhen also saw Lin Fan, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He found that he couldn't see through the other party.

"Senior Brother Huo, what's wrong?" A Hongya Cave Disciple beside Huo Zhen asked curiously upon seeing his expression.

"Nothing," Huo Zhen shook his head slightly, saying no more.

In the arena, Ying Huanhuan also heard some commotion around her. Her large eyes darted around, and then she saw Lin Fan standing to the side.

Others might not have noticed anything, but Lin Fan could see that when Ying Huanhuan's gaze swept over, her previously tense expression subtly softened.

However, she did not want to show the relief she felt in her heart.

Ying Huanhuan only glanced at Lin Fan before refocusing her attention on her battle with Song Yan.

The two exchanged blows, and the battle was quite exciting.

After dozens of exchanges, Ying Huanhuan's jade fingers suddenly plucked the zither strings faster, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes as she stared at Song Yan.

"Formless Bodhi Sound, Bodhi Smile!"

Emerald green sound waves suddenly swept out from the zither, and then seemed to transform into a blurry giant figure behind Ying Huanhuan.

That shadow seemed to be laughing up at the sky, and an extremely astonishing emerald green sound wave directly spiraled forth, fiercely blasting towards Song Yan with the speed of thunder.

Ying Huanhuan's attack startled Song Yan, who hastily pulled back her fiery red long whip. The whip transformed into countless rings of light in front of her.

Bang! Bang!

The spiraling sound wave surged forward, shattering all the light rings with an unstoppable force, and at the same time, it forced Song Yan to retreat hastily.

Just as Song Yan managed to stabilize her footing, Ying Huanhuan's jade fingers plucked the zither strings again.

Whoosh!

A ray of emerald green light shot out like an arrow, appearing before Song Yan in a few breaths, and the latter no longer had time to defend.

However, just as she was about to reluctantly admit defeat, Huo Zhen suddenly frowned, moved his body, appeared in front of Song Yan, extended his palm, and lightly flicked the incoming emerald green light.

Bang!

Under Huo Zhen's flicking finger, the emerald green light was directly bounced back, shooting towards Ying Huanhuan with an even more formidable momentum.

Just then, Lin Fan, who had already been prepared, moved slightly, blocking in front of Ying Huanhuan, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible shockwave was unleashed!

"Hiss!"

In an instant, the emerald green light, with even greater speed and ferocity, instantly struck Huo Zhen's shoulder, emitting a crisp sound.

Ying Huanhuan was stunned, looking somewhat lost at the familiar figure who had appeared in front of her at some unknown moment, just like last time when they were snatching the immortal essence ancient seed and facing the Demon Mark Crowd.

"It is common to win or lose in a spar. For Your Excellency to brazenly interfere and attack a girl like that is rather ill-mannered!"

Lin Fan slowly withdrew his palm, looking at Huo Zhen opposite him, and said indifferently.

Huo Zhen's face was already somewhat unsightly after being hit by the emerald green light, and upon hearing Lin Fan's words, his face became even more sullen and mocking.

"Whether I have manners or not, I'm afraid you are not qualified to comment."

"Is that so? Then let's speak with strength," Lin Fan's face also showed a smile, and he spoke calmly.

"This kind of spar isn't for just any half-baked practitioner. You should ask the opinion of your sect elders."

Huo Zhen glanced at Lin Fan, scoffing.

However, no sooner had his laughter faded than he suddenly heard the surrounding Dao Sect disciples burst into a harsh roar of laughter.

Huo Zhen frowned, turned his head, and saw the Dao Sect disciples staring at him with playful expressions, as if they had heard something ridiculous.

Beside Lin Fan, Ying Huanhuan also quietly held her zither, her dark hair cascading down her chest like a waterfall, an indescribable serene and gentle beauty in her appearance.

"Hmph, I thought you wouldn't show up again?"

However, this serene and gentle beauty was soon broken by her delicate snort.

"Since you've appeared, I'll leave this last match to you. For you, it should be a sure win, right? If you lose, hmph hmph..."

Without giving Lin Fan a chance to retort, Ying Huanhuan's large eyes curved like crescent moons. She patted Lin Fan's shoulder boldly and said in a sweet voice.

Lin Fan looked at Ying Huanhuan's expression and also smiled, "Since others are offering their faces, if I don't slap them a few times, they might not be happy."

"Hehe, well said, I like it."

Ying Huanhuan chuckled, then felt her words were a bit off, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly. However, she quickly pretended as if nothing had happened, waved her jade hand, and said, "It's up to you..."

As her voice fell, she quickly slipped out of the arena and went to the area of the Dao Sect disciples, lightly patting her slightly hot cheeks.

Lin Fan shook his head with a smile and said to Martial Uncle Chen Zhen in the viewing stands: "Martial Uncle Chen Zhen, Disciple will take the fifth match?"

"En," Chen Zhen smiled faintly and nodded, then introduced him to the two elders from Hongya Cave, "This is my Desolate Hall Disciple, Lin Fan."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's name, everyone from Hongya Cave's expressions subtly changed.

The people of Hongya Cave had also heard about that battle in the Blood Rock Land.

"Make your move," Lin Fan ignored the changing expressions of the Hongya Cave crowd, directly hooked his finger at Huo Zhen, full of provocation.

"Then I won't be polite!"

A sinister look flashed in Huo Zhen's eyes, and then he suddenly took a step forward. Violent Qi surged out from his body like a tidal wave.

And his figure transformed into a black shadow, shooting out and instantly appearing in front of Lin Fan.

"Cave Mountain Fist!"

Huo Zhen showed no mercy in his attack. He punched out, and violent Qi frantically condensed on his fist. That force was enough to pierce through mountains!
