273: Chapter 273 The Fang Family: The Plan to Assassinate Li Fan!

Time reached the early morning of the next day.

Duan Xuan had now woken up from his coma.

Currently, his face was filled with unwillingness.

However, when he recalled facing Li Fan's fist print on the stage, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He knew clearly.

At present, he was not Li Fan's opponent!

This Li Fan was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

"It's all because of Law Power!

If I could also comprehend Law Power, I would definitely not be weaker than him!"

Gritting his teeth, Duan Xuan attributed the entire gap between them to that wisp of Law Power.

At this moment, he turned all the resentment from this battle into motivation to comprehend Law Power!

"Li Fan, I am indeed inferior to you this time, but just wait. I will personally wash away the humiliation of this battle!"

Duan Xuan's eyes were firm, and the fighting spirit in his heart had reached its peak.

As a top-tier genius of the Sword Abyss Sea,

it was naturally impossible for him to be defeated by one or two failures.

On the contrary, it would only make him more courageous as he faced setbacks!

Fang Tong, on the other hand, was clearly not that kind of top-tier genius.

Inside Fang Tong's manor...

Fang Tong was currently contacting his clan through the virtual network.

"Mother, I don't want to stay in this Huangchen Academy anymore. Please tell Father for me that I want to return to the clan!"

With a thud, Fang Tong knelt directly on the ground, throwing himself at the legs of an elderly woman—his mother—as tears flowed uncontrollably.

As a boy of seventeen or eighteen, such a scene was truly heartbreaking for Mother Fang to witness.

"Tong'er, get up first. Tell me first, exactly what has happened to you?

It couldn't be that lowly commoner named Li Fan bullying you again, could it? If so, I'll have your father go to the academy to demand an explanation!" Mother Fang's expression was grave as she comforted Fang Tong while asking for the reason.

She naturally knew about Li Fan.

Because the last time Fang Tong returned to the clan, he had told her about Li Fan's deeds. It was precisely because of Li Fan that Fang Tong had been forced to return to the clan.

"No, he didn't bully me, but as long as I see him or think of him, I can't cultivate in peace! I must go somewhere far away from him and forget him!" Fang Tong said with a long face.

"And Mother, do you know? He defeated Duan Xuan yesterday! And he did it in just one move! He crushed Duan Xuan in a single strike!"

Listening to Fang Tong's words,

Mother Fang's face was filled with both anger and shock.

She was angry because Fang Tong was somewhat disappointing. Last time, the Ancestor had specifically guided his psychology once, hoping to lessen his fear of Li Fan, his heart demon. Yet after only how long, it seemed the heart demon had grown even deeper!

If this continued, Fang Tong would truly be ruined!

A person haunted by a heart demon, no matter how many resources were given to them, could never fully grow up.

And her shock, naturally, was that Li Fan could actually crush Duan Xuan.

She understood Duan Xuan, and she understood the Sword Abyss Sea even better.

As a top-tier genius of the Sword Abyss Sea, Duan Xuan had actually lost to Li Fan?!

Immediately after, she learned an even more explosive piece of news from Fang Tong's mouth.

"He comprehended a wisp of Law Power?!"

When she heard this news, Mother Fang's face was full of disbelief.

Comprehending Law Power at the Star-Treading Level was truly a bit too inconceivable.

Looking again at the tearful Fang Tong before her,

Mother Fang immediately exited the virtual network to find Fang Tong's father, who was the current Head of the Fang Family.

Very soon.

The moment Father Fang learned of this news, he immediately convened a family meeting.

"What? The person who bullied Tong'er has comprehended Law Power? And even defeated that Duan Xuan from the Sword Abyss Sea?"

"Ah? Comprehended Law Power at the Star-Treading Level? You're not joking, right?"

"Alright, everyone quiet down. This meeting isn't for you to marvel at how strong that Li Fan is, but to solve a problem. In the current situation, it's almost impossible to expect Tong'er to defeat that guy himself and break his heart demon, so we must rely on the clan to take action."

"My current thought is to wait for this Li Fan to leave Huangchen Academy and secretly eliminate him. Once everything has settled, we'll have the Ancestor step in to erase part of Fang Tong's memories regarding Li Fan."

"Erase memories? The side effects of that method can be quite large!"

"Indeed, but compared to being able to remove the heart demon, it is very much worth it."

...

At the Fang Family meeting,

after some discussion,

the plan to assassinate Li Fan was officially finalized.

However, as a great clan,

the Fang Family also knew that trying to assassinate a Student of Huangchen Academy within the academy itself was almost impossible to achieve. Once they failed, they would face the retaliation of Huangchen Academy.

Facing Huangchen Academy, their Fang Family would not have any ability to fight back.

Therefore, the assassination of Li Fan had to be carried out when he left Huangchen Academy, and he had to be killed secretly without making too much noise.

And this required waiting for a suitable opportunity!

As for Fang Tong's side,

the clan also agreed to Fang Tong's request, allowing him to return to the clan.

After all, if he continued to stay at Huangchen Academy and was exposed to talk about Li Fan every day, it would be impossible for Fang Tong to settle down and cultivate.

On the other side,

Li Fan was completely unaware of the plan the Fang Family had set at this moment.

...

In the blink of an eye,

time passed.

A month had already gone by.

There were now less than three months left before the Inheritance Competition officially began.

During this month,

besides using that Bizarre Planet for cultivation and training every day, Li Fan spent most of his remaining time consulting Ming Yan about matters regarding Law Power.

The small remaining portion of his time was spent attending lectures on combat and collecting some cultivation resources provided by the academy.

By now,

Li Fan's realm had already successfully reached the peak of the eighth stage of the Star-Treading Level, only one step away from the ninth stage.

He had also made great progress in fusing Law Power.

According to Ming Yan, if there were a progress bar, Li Fan's current degree of fusion with Law Power had already reached one-quarter.

It had to be said that this speed was still very fast; Ming Yan had praised him more than once.

While Li Fan was making progress,

the other New Students were also progressing.

For example, Jiang Yunxu had now become the first among the New Students to break through to the Star Shattering Rank!

Duan Xuan was the second among the New Students to break through to the Star Shattering Rank, and ever since losing to Li Fan, he now appeared more composed and restrained, giving off an even more fearsome feeling.

Peng Song was also already lingering at the peak of the ninth stage of the Star-Treading Level, just one step away from the Star Shattering Rank!

In short,

for the sake of this Inheritance Competition, everyone was making progress without the slightest relaxation.
