223: Chapter 223 A Decisive Strike: Rules are for the Weak!

As soon as these words were spoken...

Everyone present was incredibly stunned.

Yes, that's right, including Fang Tong himself.

He never expected it in a million years.

A low-status Sparring Partner actually dared to speak to him like that?!

It was one thing to curse him, but to curse his parents too?!

"lowly commoner! Do you know what you're saying?"

Fang Tong was furious, his face darkening to the extreme, and his body even trembled slightly.

He quickly received a response.

"Are you deaf? I'm cursing you, and I'm cursing those two old fogies who failed to teach you any manners!"

"Do you need me to say it again? Fine, I'll say it again!"

"..."

Li Fan's words were incredibly sharp.

Hearing them, Fang Tong's expression grew even uglier, and his fists clenched tightly.

Beside them, Duan Ping, Duan Linger, and Sha Li were completely dumbfounded.

Especially Sha Li.

Li Fan actually dared to curse a Formal Student?

And the other party came from a major power!

Li Fan's guts were terrifyingly large!

If it were him, even with ten billion times more courage, he wouldn't dare say such things!

As Duan Linger listened, the smile on her face grew more and more radiant.

She really hadn't expected it.

This Sparring Partner was actually so gutsy!

His strength might not be much.

But his skill at cursing was definitely top-tier!

Either way, it was music to her ears!

Originally, her first impression of Li Fan was quite poor.

But now, she actually felt Li Fan was a bit handsome.

As for Duan Ping, his face now wore an expression between laughter and tears.

He wanted to urge Li Fan to calm down, but he felt that if he did, he would be cursed at too.

"Enough! Shut up!"

"Sha Li, rip his mouth apart for me!"

Fang Tong shouted sternly, pointing at Li Fan and looking at Sha Li beside him.

He didn't want to do it personally; he was afraid of getting his hands dirty!

"Me?"

Sha Li was slightly stunned and pointed at himself.

"What are you standing there for? Do I need to take action myself?" Fang Tong roared in anger.

Hearing this.

Sha Li gritted his teeth and immediately drew his Pitch-black Giant Axe, charging toward Li Fan as a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the area.

He indeed couldn't beat Li Fan.

But since his "master" had spoken, how could he not obey?

"This person's strength is actually quite good?!"

Duan Linger watched the aura emanating from Sha Li, her brow furrowing slightly.

This Sha Li's realm was one tier higher than hers, and his aura was comparable to the Star Shattering Third Tier!

This level was already much stronger than her own Sparring Partner!

"Brother Li, be careful. You should step back; let me handle this."

Duan Ping had already stepped in front of Li Fan, preparing to intercept Sha Li.

Originally, he wouldn't have minded Li Fan fighting Sha Li.

However, the aura Sha Li was displaying now was clearly more than Li Fan could likely withstand.

Li Fan was in this conflict because of him, and he didn't want Li Fan to be seriously injured on his account.

However...

Just as he was about to act, a warmth suddenly touched his shoulder, and a voice sounded in his ear.

"Just a defeated opponent, no need for you to step in."

Li Fan patted his shoulder and then stepped out to block him.

Immediately after.

Li Fan's figure flashed, and a pair of Fire Fists swung forward violently.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Accompanied by terrifying sonic booms and a horrifying heatwave.

With one punch, Li Fan sent Sha Li and his axe flying toward the horizon like a kite with a broken string.

In just the blink of an eye.

Sha Li disappeared from everyone's sight.

Judging by the afterimage of him flying backward...

Sha Li had likely already fallen unconscious from severe injuries.

Such an overwhelmingly destructive scene left the three observers completely dumbfounded!

They never expected.

This battle would end so quickly, almost abruptly!

With just a single move, the outcome was decisively settled!

"This?!"

Fang Tong was stunned.

The Sha Li he chose was clearly powerful, capable of fighting at the Star Shattering Third Tier, and ranked in the top ten on the Comprehensive Sparring Partner Leaderboard!

Such strength was even comparable to some of the bottom-tier Formal Students.

And the Li Fan that Duan Ping chose was most likely at the bottom.

Yet a bottom-tier Sparring Partner had actually insta-killed his top-ten Sparring Partner?

Duan Linger and Duan Ping were even more surprised.

The two of them thought Li Fan was just being stubborn and impulsive.

Who would have thought he could actually win?

And so easily at that?!

"A Star Treader Seventh Tier can easily defeat an opponent with an aura comparable to the peak of the Star Shattering Third Tier, and he seemingly hasn't even used his full strength?!" Duan Linger looked at Li Fan, her heart filled with immense shock.

She was currently a Star Treader Eighth Tier, capable of fighting against those at the peak of the Star Shattering Fourth Tier.

Yet Li Fan, despite being a minor realm lower than her, was almost comparable.

This talent and strength were already enough to become a Formal Student!

With such a Sparring Partner, her cousin Duan Ping had truly found a treasure!

To think she had previously suggested replacing Li Fan.

Thinking about it now, she had been truly foolish!

"I told you, don't judge people by their appearance or background. In this universe, there's always someone better."

Duan Ping looked at Duan Linger, shook his head, and smiled.

This time, Duan Linger only nodded and did not argue.

Back to Li Fan's side.

After taking care of Sha Li.

Li Fan's gaze fell upon Fang Tong.

"Come on, your turn!"

"Although according to the academy's requirements, my status shouldn't allow me to have conflicts with Formal Students..."

"...your mouth is too foul. I think I can temporarily put the academy's requirements aside."

Exactly.

What satisfaction was there in beating Sha Li?

Naturally, teaching the main culprit a lesson was the only way to vent his anger!

"You!"

Fang Tong's eyes widened in fury, as if he were about to ignite at any moment.

He was very angry.

But it was the same old story.

He didn't want to dirty his hands!

"What? You don't dare? Chickened out?" Seeing Fang Tong hesitate, Li Fan immediately added fuel to the fire.

This provocation was undoubtedly very effective on a youngster like Fang Tong.

"Chicken out? That word has never been in my dictionary!"

"You lowly commoner! Don't think you're invincible just because you beat a Sparring Partner!"

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

"I'll show you what it means to be a being you can't even hope to reach!"

Fang Tong shouted sharply, the aura on his body beginning to surge.

He was completely enraged.

Meanwhile, Duan Linger, not far away, began to add more fuel to the fire.

"Go Li Fan! Don't worry about breaking the academy rules; my cousin and I will back you up!"

"Give this guy a good lesson for me!"

Duan Linger was clearly enjoying the spectacle and didn't mind making it bigger.

But of course, she really did want to see Fang Tong get beaten up.

In contrast to her.

Duan Ping didn't think this was a good thing.

"Brother Li, I think you should forget it. Not only would you be breaking the academy rules, but you're also no match for him."

"Let's just leave it at that!"

Duan Ping spoke up loudly, wanting Li Fan to give up.

If things continued, the situation would escalate further.

That wasn't what he wanted to see.

However, in response to Duan Ping's advice, Li Fan just smiled and waved his hand, his eyes full of confidence.

"Rules are made for the weak."

"If I'm strong enough, the rules will change for me."

"And besides, I won't lose!"
