221: Chapter 221 Fang Tong, Sparring Partner vs. Sparring Partner!

Duan Ping couldn't win the argument against Duan Linger.

For the moment, he could only comply.

However, he had already made up his mind.

Regardless of whether the other person could withstand ten moves from Duan Linger, he would choose to keep them.

He couldn't bring himself to reject someone at their first meeting without even giving them a single chance.

Furthermore, since before coming to the academy, he hadn't really had any requirements for a Sparring Partner.

It didn't really matter whether he had one or not.

So even if the other person lacked strength, he wouldn't mind.

...

On the other side.

Li Fan had just finished chatting with Peng Song and the others and was preparing to return to the gravity chamber to continue his training when he suddenly received a summons message.

Upon learning that Li Fan had also been summoned,

Peng Song and the others gave Li Fan a heads-up.

“Brother Fan, although the one who chose you is ranked last, you can't let your guard down. These people are indeed very strong!”

“Indeed, Brother Fan, we know your strength, but in front of those people, it's fine even if you lose. Our starting points are different.”

...

Although everyone knew Li Fan was strong, in their current subconscious, they had already positioned those Formal Students as existences far more powerful than themselves.

Even if the opponent was ranked dead last, they couldn't be underestimated at all.

Faced with everyone's warnings,

Li Fan was very casual about it.

“It's fine, I will win.”

After saying that,

Li Fan headed toward the manor where Duan Ping was located.

Watching Li Fan's departing figure,

Peng Song and the others were filled with emotion.

This unparalleled confidence and dominance—looking across all four hundred Sparring Partners, Li Fan was likely the only one who possessed it!

...

On another side.

Inside Duan Ping's manor at this time,

two uninvited guests appeared.

The youth was high-spirited and handsome, with a very cold and detached aura.

The older man had protruding eyes and a long scar on his face, with a cold and wretched aura.

If Li Fan or Peng Song were here, they would certainly recognize this man at a glance—it was Sha Li!

And the identity of this youth was naturally easy to guess.

This youth was the Student ranked third by Student ID.

His name was Fang Tong.

“Brother Tong, why did you suddenly call me over? Is something the matter?”

Sha Li frowned as he looked at Fang Tong beside him, his face full of flattery and his tone exceptionally gentle.

Compared to his previous arrogance on the spaceship,

Sha Li was now like a little lamb, docile to the extreme.

“That's not for you to ask!”

Fang Tong spoke slowly, giving Sha Li no face at all.

Faced with Fang Tong's attitude, Sha Li didn't show the slightest bit of anger, immediately agreeing repeatedly.

Before long,

the two found Duan Ping and Duan Linger on the lawn.

“Duan Ping, long time no see!”

“Oh, I didn't expect Linger to be here too!”

Fang Tong immediately greeted them.

However, regarding Fang Tong's appearance, Duan Ping and Duan Linger's expressions were not pleasant.

“Fang Tong, why are you here?” Duan Linger looked at Fang Tong, making no effort to hide her disdain and disgust.

Fang Tong didn't get angry at all, saying with a smile, “We haven't met for so long, and you're still as interesting as ever, Linger.”

“You!” Duan Linger was incensed, but just as she was about to say more, she was stopped by Duan Ping.

“Fang Tong, my brother sent you, didn't he? If there's something, just say it directly. There's no need for small talk,” Duan Ping said slowly, looking at Fang Tong.

Fang Tong didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile:

“You're quite smart; indeed, your brother sent me.”

“It's nothing much, he just wanted me to see if your strength has made any progress recently.”

“I won't bully you. The academy assigned a Sparring Partner, right? I'm planning to let my Sparring Partner fight you.”

As these words fell,

before Duan Ping could speak, Duan Linger was the first to open her mouth.

“I don't agree! Isn't this just humiliating people?!”

“Go get my eldest cousin to come here; I want to speak to him personally!”

Sending someone over so blatantly to test his strength was one thing.

To think he would actually let a subordinate Sparring Partner take action.

Wasn't this pure humiliation?

“Enough, enough. There's no need to trouble Brother Ling personally for such a small matter.”

“I don't think we should waste time. Duan Ping, come fight my Sparring Partner. If you can win, your big brother said he's willing to talk to you about the family's Sword Tomb.” Fang Tong waved his hand, his gaze looking directly at Duan Ping.

Clearly, he really didn't want to waste time.

Meanwhile, Sha Li,

was currently standing to the side in silence, his mind in a complete mess.

He had been forced into this dispute, serving as a tool.

When facing this Duan Ping in a moment, should he win or not? If he were to win, should it be a quick victory or a slow one?

For a moment,

his head was a bit like a pot of mush.

But after struggling for only a moment, he made his decision.

That was, he had to give it his all and win quickly!

Although he might offend Duan Linger and Duan Ping,

he could gain the favor of Fang Tong and the 'big brother' the three of them mentioned.

So this deal shouldn't be a loss.

As for Li Fan's side.

After leaving the dormitory area, Li Fan sped along the way.

In just a few hours,

Li Fan arrived at the manor district for Formal Students.

“The treatment of these Formal Students is truly good!”

Looking at this endless, incredibly luxurious manor district, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had thought their Sparring Partner dormitory area was already decent.

He hadn't expected that compared to these Formal Students, it was simply worlds apart.

“No. 400-A.”

Without much hesitation, Li Fan began searching for the address Duan Ping had sent him.

Soon,

Li Fan followed the directions and arrived at his destination.

Before long, Li Fan was led by a servant to a lawn.

“Wait here for a moment, I'll go announce your arrival!”

After the servant told Li Fan to wait in place, he headed deeper into the lawn.

With the arrival of this servant,

the situation between Duan Ping and Fang Tong on the other side was slightly interrupted.

“The Sparring Partner is here? Tell him to wait for me in the rest area for a bit, I still have some matters to handle.”

Duan Ping looked at the servant and spoke slowly.

However, just as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Duan Linger. “Don't rest, have him come over directly!”

After saying that, she looked at Fang Tong.

“Fang Tong, didn't you want your Sparring Partner to take action? Fine, we'll have our Sparring Partner fight too!”

“If you can't win, then please get out of here!”

Hearing this, Fang Tong frowned slightly for a moment.

With Duan Linger here, things were indeed a bit tricky.

After taking a breath, Fang Tong didn't object further. “Fine, then have him come over.”

According to the sparring rankings and various information summaries, the Sha Li he had chosen was among the top ten in terms of comprehensive strength among all Sparring Partners.

He didn't believe it.

How much capability could a Sparring Partner chosen by a bottom-dweller like Duan Ping, ranked four hundredth, possibly have?!
