269: Chapter 269 Duan Xuan challenges him to a duel; he accepts.

After the four learned that Li Fan had returned from Dean Liusha's place,

they rushed over at the very first moment.

"Brother Fan, that's amazing!"

Peng Song walked up to Li Fan, clapped him on the shoulder, his face full of excitement.

"Brother Li, congratulations! You actually managed to comprehend the Law Power! The gap between us and you seems like it's going to grow even wider!" Luo Ling also spoke with a smile, in a very good mood.

Duan Ping and Duan Linger, standing nearby, also offered their congratulations to Li Fan without needing to be told, joking about how they wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

For a time, the group was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

It was clear that the four were extremely happy that Li Fan had succeeded in comprehending the Law Power and become a Formal Student.

And soon after,

the group headed to the lawn deep within the manor, drinking and chatting.

For Peng Song and the other three, what concerned them most was Li Fan's Law Power.

In response, Li Fan was not stingy and demonstrated it for them.

That wisp of Law Power, exuding a supreme aura, truly left the four utterly shocked.

If Li Fan were to merge this Law Power while fighting, how terrifying would his strength become?

As for that answer,

Li Fan himself didn't have a precise answer.

Because he hadn't used it in actual combat yet.

Thinking of this, even he couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

After three rounds of drinks,

the time quickly turned to evening.

The group had chatted happily for half the afternoon and it was time for them to return home.

Next, they needed to face the Inheritance Competition in a few months.

During this period, all their energy would be focused on cultivation.

It wasn't just them; all the New Students were like this.

The significance of the Inheritance Competition was self-evident.

However,

just as the group was about to leave Li Fan's manor,

the arrival of an uninvited guest caused their expressions to change slightly.

The person who arrived was none other than

Fang Tong!

"Fang Tong, you actually dare to come here? Looks like you haven't been beaten enough!"

Peng Song showed immense fighting spirit the moment he saw Fang Tong.

Fang Tong and Peng Song didn't have a very direct conflict, but since Fang Tong was at odds with Li Fan, that alone was enough for Peng Song to teach Fang Tong a lesson.

But just as Peng Song was about to make a move, he was stopped by Li Fan behind him.

"No need for you to do it, I can handle it myself."

Li Fan smiled, walked forward, and looked at Fang Tong standing before him.

Fang Tong looked at Li Fan, subconsciously took a few small steps back, and then hurriedly spoke,

"Li Fan, I didn't come here to fight you!"

"I came to deliver a message from my elder brother."

"My elder brother says he wants to arrange a friendly match with you tomorrow morning at the Peak Platform and told you not to break the appointment!"

"Of course, if you don't dare, you can tell me now, so as not to waste my elder brother's time tomorrow by breaking the appointment."

When Fang Tong finished speaking,

Peng Song, Luo Ling, and Duan Ping couldn't help but exchange glances.

They naturally knew who Fang Tong's elder brother was; it was naturally Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan wants to challenge Li Fan to a match?

What was he trying to do?

If this was just revenge for being eliminated by Li Fan in the New Student Competition, didn't that seem a bit petty?

But before the four could ponder the reason,

Li Fan gave an extremely straightforward answer.

"Fine, I agree to his challenge. Go back and tell him, see you at the Peak Platform tomorrow morning!"

He was just looking for someone to test the power of the Law Power on.

Duan Xuan had indeed arrived at a very opportune moment!

After getting Li Fan's definite reply, Fang Tong didn't dare to linger in the slightest.

"Li Fan, don't think you're so capable just because you comprehended the Law Power. In the face of absolute strength, just wait to be crushed."

After running quite a distance away, Fang Tong finally managed to shout out a harsh threat before quickly escaping.

This scene,

made the expressions of Peng Song and the others turn strange.

Although Fang Tong's words were harsh, wasn't his body showing a bit too much cowardice?!

So much so that they didn't even have the thought of stepping in to retort on Li Fan's behalf.

Li Fan was also similarly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It seemed that Fang Tong had learned his lesson this time.

And once Fang Tong left,

the thoughts of the group once again settled on Duan Xuan's challenge.

Li Fan was now a Formal Student.

Within the Academy, private fights between Students were not allowed.

To address conflicts that inevitably arose between Students, the Academy had arranged the Peak Platform.

If Students wanted a duel, they had to arrange a challenge there.

Special instructors would serve as referees there to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

"Although my elder brother hasn't achieved the heaven-defying feat of comprehending Law Power like Brother Li Fan, his Sword Dao talent is extremely high, and his strength is formidable. Moreover, during the three months Brother Li Fan was comprehending the enlightenment stele, his strength has also improved again."

"If Brother Li Fan loses to my elder brother tomorrow, you don't need to be discouraged. After all, there is still some gap in your cultivation realms. If you were in the same realm, my elder brother certainly wouldn't be your opponent."

As Duan Xuan's younger brother, Duan Ping, who understood Duan Xuan best among those present, offered his opinion at this moment.

Although Li Fan was a Divine Illusionist and had now comprehended Law Power, he was still at a slight disadvantage in terms of cultivation realm.

As for Duan Ping's words, the other three, Peng Song and the others, all nodded in agreement.

They were all aware of Duan Xuan's strength.

The reason why Li Fan could so easily eliminate Duan Xuan during the New Student Competition previously was largely due to the home-field advantage Li Fan's Divine Illusionist profession held during the Beast Tide.

If they cast aside that advantage now and faced off in a direct one-on-one duel,

the outcome of who would win or lose was genuinely hard to predict.

Giving Li Fan a preventative shot beforehand wasn't a bad thing.

And facing Duan Ping's reminder,

Li Fan's face was full of confidence.

"Thanks for the reminder, but it's fine. Even if we aren't in the same realm, I can still win."

"Do me a small favor, help me publicize tomorrow's challenge match with Duan Xuan as much as possible. The more spectators, the better."

"I plan to let those who also want to spar with me properly weigh whether they actually have the ability to do so?"

That's right.

He had now comprehended Law Power and was at the height of his fame.

In the future, it would inevitably be unavoidable that people would want to test the genius who comprehended Law Power to see how strong he really was, treating him as a challenge mission to complete.

To reduce and avoid this situation, he needed to stage a battle to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

And Duan Xuan tomorrow was clearly a good 'chicken'!
