25: Chapter 25 You like to show off, huh?

Moving on to Li Fan's side.

Li Fan had just finished transferring the points from the last remaining point token.

He was completely unaware of the intervention by the upperclassmen for the time being.

"Big guy, let's go."

Li Fan leaped onto the back of the Exploding Tiger Beast and headed towards the distant high mountain.

He had almost explored the entire dense forest, so this time he wanted to check out the other side of the mountain. Perhaps he could meet some upperclassmen there.

It had to be said.

Having a mount truly made a difference.

Sitting on the tiger's back, feeling the cool breeze, and watching the surrounding scenery gave him a feeling of a relaxed outing, easy and comfortable.

Although he occasionally saw some Examinees being chased by ferocious beasts, shouting for help—a scene that ruined the mood.

Overall, it was still relatively pleasant.

Before long.

He arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The slope was steep, filled with giant vines and trees. For an ordinary person, climbing it would likely be difficult and require considerable effort.

However, for the Exploding Tiger Beast, the king of the mountain forest, it was like walking on flat ground.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the mountaintop.

There were quite a few ferocious beasts on the summit, but under Li Fan's iron fists, they barely lasted ten minutes.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Li Fan's gaze turned toward the other side of the mountain.

The other side of the mountain was still mountainous, and even steeper.

At a glance, it didn't look like many people would venture there.

Just as Li Fan hesitated about whether to proceed further.

Suddenly, a pillar of fire shot out from the distance, directly hitting the Exploding Tiger Beast beneath Li Fan.

"Roar!"

The Exploding Tiger Beast let out a tragic roar, its massive body could no longer stand firm, and after a few breaths, it lost its life.

Li Fan jumped down to look; a large hole had been pierced through the Exploding Tiger Beast's abdomen.

Li Fan was somewhat annoyed by this.

Which blind fool dared to attack his mount?

Before Li Fan could search for the culprit.

The culprit proactively revealed himself.

"Oh? There's actually a person here?"

The person who arrived was none other than He Wenguang!

He had been hunting ferocious beasts nearby just now.

He spotted a charging Exploding Tiger Beast from afar and immediately launched a fire cannon shot.

He hadn't expected that by the time he walked over, someone was already there.

It seemed he had successfully intercepted someone else's prey.

Evidently.

He Wenguang hadn't realized the Exploding Tiger Beast was Li Fan's mount; he assumed Li Fan was hiding nearby, waiting to hunt this Exploding Tiger Beast.

And accompanying He Wenguang was another person.

Li Fan had some impression of this person.

Because back in the gymnasium, when Lin Youwei and the other two S-Rank Talent Holders first entered, this person was the first to approach Lin Youwei to greet her.

Unfortunately, he was ignored by Lin Youwei.

This person was Wang Xiaochen.

The reason he appeared with He Wenguang was mainly because his Wang family and He family were old friends, and he and He Wenguang had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship.

With the entry of the upperclassmen, he chose to latch onto He Wenguang's coattails.

"It's you?!"

Wang Xiaochen looked at Li Fan, his eyes going wide.

He had too deep an impression of Li Fan.

It was this person who caused Lin Youwei to ignore him and allowed him to steal all the attention.

But wasn't Li Fan a Specially Recruited Student?

How could he appear here?

"You know him?" He Wenguang looked at Wang Xiaochen and frowned slightly.

Wang Xiaochen's expression darkened. "I don't know him, but I've seen him. That acquaintance of Lin Youwei's."

Hearing this, He Wenguang recalled some images.

It seemed he really was that friend from Lin Youwei's Specially Recruited zone.

At that time, his mind was entirely focused on the matter of the secret realm, so he hadn't paid much attention.

"What? Should I make a move?" He Wenguang crossed his arms and spoke coolly.

He could naturally see Wang Xiaochen's emotions.

Wang Xiaochen waved his hand and stepped forward. "Brother Wenguang, this kind of small fry doesn't require you to act personally!"

Although he didn't know how a Specially Recruited Student like Li Fan ended up here.

He was confident that with his strength, he could easily handle him!

If things went south, He Wenguang was right beside him to back him up!

In this secret realm, apart from the upperclassmen, he didn't believe anyone could match He Wenguang.

However.

Just as Wang Xiaochen stepped forward.

A terrifying sonic boom erupted.

Li Fan had already appeared in front of He Wenguang at an unbelievable speed.

He Wenguang looked at Li Fan before him, his expression instantly changing dramatically; he treated it as a formidable enemy.

This speed!

It was too exaggerated!

His first instinct was to unleash flames and create distance.

But Li Fan had already grabbed him by the collar.

Immediately following that, he unleashed a barrage of slaps across his face.

"You like showing off, don't you?!"

"You wanted to make a move, didn't you?!"

"You like playing with fire, don't you?!"

"You dared to kill my mount, didn't you?!"

"Damn your ancestors!"

Li Fan cursed furiously while his palms struck like drumming.

He Wenguang struggled desperately at first, trying to break free, but no matter what he did, he couldn't escape, and his heart was buried under a sense of powerlessness.

Before long.

Both of He Wenguang's cheeks had swollen into pig heads.

At least half of his teeth had been knocked out.

The entire person looked incomparably wretched.

Watching this scene.

Wang Xiaochen on the side was already trembling in his legs, terrified to the extreme.

His invincible Brother Wenguang, how could...

A certain title suddenly popped into his mind.

"Madman!"

Could it be that Li Fan was that monster known as the 'Madman'?

He had heard many stories about the 'Madman' during this time.

But he never imagined this person would be Li Fan, and that his strength could be this terrifying!

At this moment, he desperately wanted to flee.

But his legs were disobedient; they were completely weak.

However, he didn't need to flee, because Li Fan, after knocking He Wenguang unconscious with one hand, had already arrived in front of him.

"You like showing off too, don't you?"

"You didn't need others to act for you, right?"

Li Fan used the same method.

In no time, Wang Xiaochen proudly acquired the exact same look as He Wenguang.

Finally, after Li Fan knocked out Wang Xiaochen's last front tooth with a slap.

Li Fan's anger slowly subsided.

He hated it most when people showed off in front of him!

He casually tossed Wang Xiaochen aside, then began taking the tokens of both men to transfer the points.

It wasn't bad; both of them had quite a few points, especially He Wenguang, who surprisingly had over twenty thousand points.

But that was normal.

As an S-Rank Talent Holder, reaching this stage with only around twenty thousand points would be too little.

And now, with this addition.

His total point count reached over ninety thousand.

On the side.

He Wenguang was slowly regaining consciousness from his faint.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Li Fan still standing in front of him.

He was so frightened that he scrambled backward desperately.

Completely lacking his previous imposing demeanor of a master.

There was no helping it.

He was genuinely scared stiff from the beating!

He was afraid Li Fan hadn't hit enough and would pick him up to vent more anger.

He had actually guessed Li Fan's identity by now.

Li Fan was definitely the Madman!

"No need to run, I'm not hitting you anymore."

"Next time, keep your eyes open. If you dare touch my mount again, I won't let you off so easily."

Li Fan spoke lightly, then tossed He Wenguang's point token, which had been cleared to zero, in front of him.

He Wenguang felt stifled but dared not disobey, quickly saying repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, there won't be a next time!"

Satisfied with the reply, Li Fan didn't linger and turned to leave.

Now that the Exploding Tiger Beast was gone, continuing to the other mountain wasn't suitable; he could only consider returning to the dense forest to try his luck.

After Li Fan left.

He Wenguang finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

But after a moment of silence.

He Wenguang couldn't help but scream hysterically at the sky.

"Damn it!"
