315: The Gu family was shocked! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Gu Shuo's eyes slightly narrowed as he stared intently at Lin Fan, not saying a word.

A moment later, he suddenly extended his withered hand, revealing a metal token in his palm.

"This is my Gu Family's external aid token, Young Friend Lin Fan. If you can take it, then the terms of cooperation between the Gu Family and you will be as you stated."

As Gu Shuo's words fell, an extremely powerful Yuan Power pressure surged from his body, then pressed towards Lin Fan.

All eyes were fixed on the young figure in the hall. Under Gu Shuo's immense Aura pressure, the latter remained as steady as a mountain, seemingly unaffected.

"Heh heh, Elder Gu Shuo, you better hold on tight," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, looking at Gu Shuo who was seated in the main seat.

As his voice faded, the space around Lin Fan suddenly twisted. He took a step, as if passing through space, and appeared before Gu Shuo with an extremely strange speed.

He extended his right hand flatly, easily grasping the metal token. A formless ripple emanated from his palm, passing through the token to Gu Shuo's body.

Gu Shuo's body trembled, feeling an irresistible force. The hand holding the token involuntarily loosened!

Space twisted again, and Lin Fan's figure moved, returning to his original position as if teleporting.

All of this, though long in the telling, happened in an instant.

By the time everyone reacted, the dust had already settled!

In that instant, the entire hall fell into a complete silence!

Everyone was stunned!

Even Elder Gu Shuo couldn't help but show a look of shock in his eyes!

"Elder Gu Shuo, beneath you..."

Suddenly, Gu Yuntian, next to Gu Shuo, widened his eyes, and his voice, full of shock, rang out in the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the chair beneath Gu Shuo had silently turned into powder and drifted away!

And Gu Shuo still maintained his sitting posture, completely unaware.

Gu Shuo lowered his head and, seeing this scene, felt a tremor in his heart, along with a chill.

Both at Perfected Life Profound Realm, how exactly did Lin Fan do it?

If he were an enemy of Lin Fan, wouldn't that instant just now have been enough to take his life?

Thinking of this, sweat couldn't help but seep from Gu Shuo's forehead. Filled with lingering fear, he hastily straightened his body.

If even Gu Shuo was like this, let alone everyone else.

At this moment, the members of the Gu Family in the hall no longer had any doubts about Lin Fan's strength, and their hearts were filled with deep reverence!

"Happy cooperation," Lin Fan said with a gentle smile, playing with the token in his hand, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Shuo suppressed the shock in his heart, forced a smile, and said, "Happy cooperation. If my Gu Family can truly win the Martial Arts Tournament championship, two of the three Honghuang Pagoda slots will be yours."

"That's excellent," Lin Fan nodded, then said, "Afterward, I hope the Gu Family can keep its promise, otherwise..."

Lin Fan's words were unfinished, but everyone already understood his meaning. Although they felt a bit uncomfortable, no one dared to say anything.

"Young Master Lin Fan, rest assured, my Gu Family is not one to go back on its word," Gu Shuo said with a smile upon hearing this, "Tomorrow is the start of the Martial Arts Tournament. For today, please rest well, Young Master Lin Fan."

After the scene just now, Gu Shuo's address for Lin Fan had subtly changed.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, cupped his fist towards everyone, and without further delay, turned and left.

Behind him, Lin Dong also followed closely.

In the hall, the many members of the Gu Family watched Lin Fan and Lin Dong leave. Only then did some whispers erupt, clearly indicating their profound shock.

"This Lin Fan... he's simply a Prodigy. I really don't know where he came from. Let alone the younger generation of the Tianfeng Sea Region, even among the older generation, I'm afraid few can surpass him..."

Gu Shuo's eyes were grave as he murmured.

Gu Yuntian couldn't help but ask, "Then, Elder Gu Shuo, how many people in my Gu Family do you think can surpass him?"

"Aside from the Clan Chief, there is no second person," Gu Shuo pondered for a moment before replying with a heavy tone.

"Hiss!"

Hearing Gu Shuo's words, the members of the Gu Family in the hall couldn't help but gasp, their hearts filled with unparalleled shock!

Their Realm was not high enough, so while they could sense Lin Fan's immense strength, they didn't know to what extent. Gu Shuo's words, however, gave them a clear measure.

The Gu Family's Clan Chief, that was a Death Profound Realm expert!

Gu Mengqi and Gu Yan exchanged glances. Gu Mengqi softly said, "Xiao Yan, the helper you found this time is truly a bit too powerful!"

Gu Yan showed a wry smile on her face, her expression somewhat complex. She hadn't expected Lin Fan to be so powerful!

"Xiao Yan, you must treat Lin Fan well and try your best to maintain a good relationship with him," Gu Shuo mused, then said,

"This Lin Fan, so young yet terrifyingly strong, who knows what heights he will reach in the future! Building a good relationship with him can only benefit my Gu Family."

"Mm, I will," Gu Yan nodded slightly.

Beside her, Gu Mengqi's beautiful eyes flickered, lost in thought... The next day.

As the warm sunlight streamed down, this immense Wuhui Island suddenly became abuzz.

All sorts of noisy and chaotic sounds converged, soaring straight into the sky.

Creak!

The tightly closed door was gently pulled open. Lin Fan slowly walked out, and then he saw Gu Yan, Gu Mengqi, and others, who had already been waiting in the courtyard ahead.

And Lin Dong was also standing uncomfortably not far from them.

"Brother Lin Fan, it's almost time, shall we depart?" Gu Mengqi gazed at the young man who walked out of the room, a gentle smile appearing on her graceful face as she softly said,

"Also, this Martial Arts Tournament may require Brother Lin Fan's extra care."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Let's all work together."

"As long as Brother Lin Fan doesn't blame Xiao Yan and me for holding you back, that's fine," Gu Mengqi chuckled, then continued, "Brother Lin Fan, please follow me."

As her voice fell, Gu Mengqi turned and walked outside, leaving a beautiful silhouette.

Lin Fan, Gu Yan, Lin Dong, and the others also followed closely, heading towards the center of Wuhui Island.

In the center of Wuhui Island, there was a magnificent giant mountain.

That was precisely where the Martial Arts Tournament was held.

When Lin Fan and his group arrived, the area around the mountaintop was already a sea of people.

In the sky above, sounds of rushing wind occasionally echoed, and figures gracefully descended, clearly all coming for the Martial Arts Tournament.

"The Martial Arts Tournament doesn't start with the main event. Instead, it features sparring matches between various experts. This is because, at such Martial Arts Tournaments, the five great Families also scout for experts from all sides, inviting them to become Family guards and venerated cultivators."

Lin Fan and his group landed on the mountaintop, then slowly walked towards the Gu Family's seats. Along the way, Gu Mengqi smiled as she introduced the details of the Martial Arts Tournament to Lin Fan.

"Because the treatment for venerated cultivators is extremely high, many experts hope to be noticed by the five great Families."

"After all, in a place like the Chaotic Demon Sea, it's naturally good to have some backing, and moreover, the Families will provide them with Cultivation resources."

Lin Fan smiled, but he did not make any indication regarding Gu Mengqi's attempt to recruit him.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Mengqi's eyes, and then she quickly changed the subject.

The group finally arrived at the Gu Family's seats. The pale-faced Gu Yuntian also stood up and smiled, cupping his hands towards Lin Fan. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze swept around, and his expression suddenly turned unsightly.

Not only Gu Yuntian, but almost all the other members of the Gu Family also showed unpleasant expressions at the same time. (End of Chapter)
