233: Chapter 233 The Old Man on the Lonely Island, Fang Tong is Looking for Him Again?!

Deep within the academy.

On an isolated island.

An old man wearing a straw raincoat was fishing with his eyes closed. No expression could be seen on his face, as if he were a withered stone, blending into one with heaven and earth.

The next second.

A Middle-aged Man appeared behind him.

"Senior Liusha, the matter regarding this session's Wushan Seat Inheritance Competition has finally settled down."

"Aside from our own Wushan Seat, some people from eight other seat domains are also qualified to participate. Well-known academies like the Dark Spirit Academy of the Mingshan Seat and the Starfall Academy of the Huanlin Seat will basically all be taking part."

"In this session, the difficulty of our Wushan Seat holding onto this wave of immortal inheritance is not small at all."

The Middle-aged Man cupped his hands in a bow, frowning as he spoke slowly.

At this moment, the old man also opened his incomparably deep eyes.

"The difficulty is indeed not small, but it doesn't matter. Everything has its cause and effect. If this inheritance is meant to stay in the Wushan Seat, no one can take it away. If it was never meant to stay in the Wushan Seat, then no one can keep it."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. Don't forget the original intention when the academy was founded: it was aimed at cultivating talent and nurturing fresh blood for the Wushan Seat. As for what level these people can ultimately reach, that all depends on their future fortune. Whether or not they can obtain the inheritance is their own destiny."

The old man spoke calmly, with a faint, indifferent smile.

The interrupted Middle-aged Man could only nod and sigh upon hearing this.

"Among this batch of New Students, there are indeed some good seedlings, but the growth time left for them might not be enough."

"If the previous batch of Students hadn't exceeded the age limit, there would still be a chance to fight for it!"

These words fell on the old man's ears, only earning a shake of his head.

Clearly.

This Middle-aged Man still hadn't taken his words to heart.

"Tell me the general situation of those good seedlings you mentioned," the old man said at this point.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Middle-aged Man was somewhat surprised; an existence at the old man's level basically wouldn't care about New Students.

He didn't expect that the old man would actually take the initiative to ask this time, breaking all precedent.

So, immediately following that, he began to tell the old man about the situation of those few Students.

However, after the old man finished listening, he didn't show any expression of surprise, only responding faintly:

"They seem to be just barely passable."

"Compared to Huo Feng, they are still too far off."

These words clearly caused the Middle-aged Man to give a bitter smile.

The old man's standards were still high.

This was only to the level of being 'barely passable'?

But thinking about it, it made sense. The old man had traversed the universe for tens of thousands of years; his experience was naturally not something he could compare to.

As for comparing them to the Huo Feng in the old man's mouth, of course they couldn't compare.

That was an absolute monster!

In just a short thousand years, he was already a World Lord!

Even looking across the entire Great Universe, that level of talent was among the very top!

"What about the Sparring Partners? Are there any juniors among this batch of Sparring Partners who are surprising?" the old man asked again.

The Middle-aged Man actually didn't really want to answer this question.

Because back then, Huo Feng had turned from a Sparring Partner into a Formal Student, and then step by step, with the help of the academy's resources, reached the peak.

The old man wasn't asking if there were surprising juniors among the Sparring Partners; he wanted to ask if there were any super monstrous geniuses with the same potential as Huo Feng!

And clearly.

How could that be possible?!

Monstrous geniuses like that aren't like common cabbages that you can have just by saying so.

One would probably only appear once every hundred thousand years!

"Senior Liusha, as for the Sparring Partners, I haven't paid too much attention, but by the looks of it, there shouldn't be any," the Middle-aged Man directly brushed it off.

"Mm, if there's nothing else, you can go back to your work first," the old man said.

And after the Middle-aged Man left.

The old man slowly tapped toward the void, and an image quietly appeared before his eyes.

The person in the image was none other than Li Fan!

"To be able to withstand the mental erosion of that planet, and even cultivate and improve under such high pressure, and with such an exaggerated speed of progress."

"Interesting!"

The old man spoke slowly, a touch of curiosity actually surfacing on his usually calm face.

...

Back to Li Fan.

Accompanied by Cang Hai.

Li Fan had already returned to the dormitory area.

And as soon as he returned.

Li Fan received a lot of attention.

"Isn't that Li Fan?"

"Good heavens! It really is him!"

"He actually came out. I almost forgot he even existed!"

The Sparring Partners were still quite respectful toward this fierce man who had gone head-to-head with a Formal Student.

Aside from some inevitable gossip behind his back, when they met face-to-face, they would basically all greet him with a smile.

Regarding this, Li Fan didn't care at all and went straight toward Peng Song's dormitory.

"Peng Song isn't back yet?"

Li Fan frowned slightly.

Originally, he wanted to find Peng Song to chat about what had happened in the academy over the past half month, but he ended up learning that Peng Song was still sparring with a Formal Student.

However, even though Peng Song wasn't there, many fellow townsmen from the Tianlan Star Domain were.

From the mouths of several fellow townsmen, Li Fan also quickly learned about some things that had happened in the academy during this half month.

And what surprised him.

Was the fact that Duan Ping and Duan Linger had gone to the Discipline Department to kneel and beg for forgiveness for his sake.

He clearly never expected.

That these two were actually so loyal and righteous that they even went as far as kneeling!

But it was also lucky that the Discipline Department didn't agree to their request.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so comfortably for half a month.

But then again.

He was still somewhat moved by their intention and made a note of it.

After roughly listening to the academy's situation over the past half month.

Li Fan entered the gravity chamber to begin a new round of training.

However, after only training for a short while, Li Fan came out.

As the saying goes.

It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality!

After staying in Confinement Valley, coming back to this gravity chamber provided by the dormitory made him unable to muster any enthusiasm for training.

First, the gravity multiplier wasn't high enough; second, the concentration of cosmic primordial energy was also insufficient; and as for mental pressure, there was none at all.

If he could use the facilities of the Dark Star openly, that would be fine, but the problem was that he couldn't use them now.

Therefore, he really missed Confinement Valley immensely right now.

Just as Li Fan was sitting on the sofa reminiscing.

A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

He opened the door.

The person before him made Li Fan's brow furrow instantly.

This person was none other than Sha Li!

"Li Fan, come with me. My Brother Tong wants to see you!"

Sha Li's eyes were cold, his face carrying a hint of borrowed authority.

Hearing Sha Li's words.

Li Fan's eyes instantly lit up.

Fang Tong was looking for him?

Cang Hai had warned him not to provoke Fang Tong.

But if Fang Tong took the initiative to provoke him.

The academy side probably wouldn't blame him too much again, right?

Thinking of this, Li Fan's furrowed brow immediately smoothed out.

"Let's go, lead the way!"

Li Fan looked at Sha Li and said with a smile.

As Sha Li looked at Li Fan's appearance, his gaze couldn't help but become somewhat strange, while he couldn't resist muttering softly under his breath.

"Death is at your door and you don't even know it?!"
