20: Chapter 20 I'm going to take on ten!

"Not good!"

Di Yun's expression changed drastically, and the fire snakes surrounding him immediately transformed into a shield of fire that enveloped his entire body.

But clearly,

Such a move would have no effect.

Boom!

A punch broke through, shattering the fire shield instantly. Di Yun was sent flying dozens of meters away like a kite with a broken string.

At this moment, besides intense pain, Di Yun barely had any sensation left.

The most terrifying thing was that, from his perspective, Li Fan's next punch was already right in front of his face.

"Wait a moment!"

Di Yun shouted with all his might while flying backward, then crashed hard beneath a giant tree.

Li Fan's fist stopped just a few centimeters from Di Yun's face.

Immediately afterward, Di Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly handed over the score token at his waist.

"Take it."

Li Fan had no intention of killing him; he had held back on that last punch.

Seeing that Di Yun was so sensible, a smile gradually reappeared on his face.

He took the score token and initiated the transfer.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? You could have avoided taking a punch!"

Di Yun's face was dark.

He wanted to retort.

But considering the terror of the monster that was Li Fan, he ultimately held back.

He was truly unlucky.

He accidentally disturbed a monster's roasted ham, which resulted in his prey being smashed by the monster, his points being completely confiscated, and to top it all off, he got hit by a punch and was lectured by the opponent.

In the conference room,

Silence had once again fallen.

The instructors' eyes were wider than the last.

They had all witnessed Di Yun's strength.

They originally thought the fight between the two would last for dozens of rounds before a victor was decided.

Yet, the battle ended so simply.

It was a complete rout!

Di Yun couldn't even withstand a single exchange against Li Fan!

Regarding Li Fan's actual combat power,

Everyone was undoubtedly plunged into a new round of contemplation.

...

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of an S-Rank Talent, quite a lot of points!"

"I'm not someone who likes taking advantage, these are just some cheap healing medicines, consider it making up the difference for your points."

Li Fan looked happily at Di Yun's score, which was close to twenty thousand.

He immediately took out a few nearly expired healing potions from his space ring and tossed them to Di Yun.

Di Yun dared not say anything. After accepting Li Fan's medicine and putting it away, he took out a few pills from his own space ring and swallowed them.

In just a few breaths, Di Yun's complexion improved significantly.

In a short while, he could even stand up on his own, as if nothing had happened.

Such efficacy made Li Fan stare in amazement.

Are these medicines a bit expensive?

"I only have a few pills left; they are for saving my life," Di Yun said, immediately putting the pills away under Li Fan's gaze.

These things were truly not cheap.

His father had only given him three.

He didn't want Li Fan to snatch these as well.

Li Fan pouted, looking very disdainful:

"You lack vision!"

"Do I look like the kind of person who casually snatches things from others?

I was just curious!"

"Mere healing medicine, as if everyone doesn't have any?"

With that,

Li Fan turned away sullenly and walked towards the riverbank, preparing to continue roasting the next ham.

Di Yun watched Li Fan's retreating back, silent for a long time.

After a long silence, he followed along.

"Brother Li Fan, I was in the wrong first just now, I apologize to you," Di Yun said politely when he reached Li Fan, his entire demeanor completely different from his previous aloofness.

Li Fan waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, it's all in the past. We are even now. If you need something, just say it directly."

Di Yun chuckled awkwardly and said, "Brother Li Fan is truly exceptionally wise; I do have something I need."

"Brother Li Fan, with your strength being so formidable, I think we could team up to compete against those senior students. That way, both our scores would increase extremely quickly."

That's right.

He was a man who knew how to bend and stretch.

Even though Li Fan had emptied his points, he could still maintain a humble attitude to cooperate with Li Fan.

He had actually considered targeting the senior students a long time ago.

But those senior students were terrifyingly strong, and he had no confidence in his heart.

However, now that he had encountered a monster like Li Fan,

If they could join forces, he felt there would be a very high chance of success.

Although his points were gone now, if he could defeat a few senior students, his points would quickly recover, even surpassing the previous amount.

Upon hearing this,

Li Fan immediately lost interest. Team up again?

"Brother Di, I already planned to compete with the senior students, but I don't need a team; it's too much trouble."

"To be honest with you, Brother Di, I can take on ten of those senior students!"

Di Yun: "Huh?"

Di Yun was stunned.

Take on ten of them?

Isn't that a bit too arrogant?!

But recalling Li Fan's unfathomable strength, whether he could take on ten was unknown, but in a one-on-one fight, he might really have a chance.

In the end, he had been too abrupt.

"Since that's the case, then Brother Li Fan, I will take my leave first."

"We'll meet outside the secret realm."

"I will personally treat Brother Li Fan to a banquet then and apologize properly."

Since Li Fan had no intention of teaming up, Di Yun had nothing more to say. After exchanging pleasantries, he turned and left.

His immediate priority was to earn back the points he had lost.

The instructors listening to their conversation in the conference room all shook their heads.

"Interesting! These two kids are actually setting their sights on those brats!"

"Although both of them are very strong, especially this Li Fan, they aren't quite enough to deal with the sophomores yet."

"Yeah, the weakest of those sophomore brats must be over level thirty, right?

Not only are they not running away when they meet them, but they even want to compete?"

"I feel like those two are going to suffer a big loss."

"It's fine, consider it tempering their arrogance. Even if their points are wiped clean tomorrow, the remaining day will be enough for them to advance."

"True, but Li Fan hasn't used his full strength yet. I'm quite looking forward to seeing him clash with those brats."
