379: Chapter 379 Suppressing Realm? A Brother Gained!
"Huh?"
Wu Chen's sudden turn of events truly left Li Fan, Peng Song, and the others completely bewildered.
Weren't they just chatting pleasantly a moment ago?
Now they were going straight to a one-on-one fight?
Just because he knew Li Fan was a Student of the qingyun plan?
Or perhaps, was it because he felt that Li Fan, coming from the Outer Seat Domain, was actually selected for the qingyun plan, making him, a genius from the Supreme Seat Domain, extremely unconvinced, thus demanding a duel?
If that was the reason, it was quite plausible, because the Haoyue Plan and the qingyun plan had plenty of such geniuses from the Supreme Seat Domain.
Thinking of this, the expressions of Peng Song and the others had already become slightly wary.
This person seemed to have ill intentions!
"Don't misunderstand, I am different from others. I don't have any prejudice against friends like you who come from the Outer Seat Domain. The reason I want to challenge Brother Li Fan to a duel is purely because I want to test the gap between myself and the qingyun plan."
Seeing the look on Peng Song and the others' faces, Wu Chen immediately spoke up to clarify, a sincere smile on his face.
Hearing this.
Peng Song and the others exchanged glances, and their expressions slowly eased.
Wu Chen's words and his sincere demeanor indeed didn't seem like those of the others.
It seemed they had misunderstood.
"I am the second place finisher in this Haoyue Plan Sequence Assessment. I consider myself barely having some strength, and I shouldn't disappoint Brother Li Fan."
At this moment, Wu Chen's gaze fell upon Li Fan, issuing the invitation again.
Seeing this, Peng Song was the first to jump in front of Li Fan and speak,
"Young Master Wu Chen, perhaps we should postpone it until another day. Firstly, this place is not suitable for sparring. Secondly, my Brother Fan has traveled a long way and is tired from the journey. Sparring now means he won't be able to display his full strength."
After Peng Song finished speaking.
Luo Ling, Duan Ping, and the others nearby also spoke up one after another, not wanting Li Fan to spar with this Wu Chen.
The reason they tried to stop it naturally was because they felt Li Fan had no chance of winning.
As brothers, if Li Fan didn't reveal his realm, they wouldn't proactively investigate it.
Therefore, in their impression, Li Fan likely hadn't cultivated much over the past year or so; he was entirely focused on comprehension, so his strength wouldn't have increased much.
Fighting Wu Chen in this state meant the probability of losing was likely ninety-nine percent!
Once he lost, it might not only affect Li Fan's state of mind, but if it spread later, it would push down the public opinion of the Wushan Seat compatriots in the training area even further.
Listening to Peng Song and the others' words.
Wu Chen just smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about the sparring venue or the condition. We can spar in the virtual network. We can adjust our conditions in there. Don't forget, we belong to the Cosmic Cloud Company; we must make good use of the power of technology!"
As soon as these words came out.
Peng Song and the others immediately had their mouths twitch.
Good heavens.
They actually forgot about this.
Just as Peng Song and the others were preparing to find another angle to stop this fight, Li Fan's voice slowly rang out.
"It's fine. Since Young Master Wu Chen wants to spar, let's do it. I'm actually quite eager to exchange pointers with a talent like Young Master Wu Chen, who comes from the Supreme Seat Domain."
Li Fan's expression was calm, with a smile on his face.
As soon as he said this.
The expressions of Peng Song and the others instantly changed drastically.
"Brother Fan..."
"It's nothing, just playing around."
Peng Song frantically signaled Li Fan with his eyes, but Li Fan merely waved it off, looking completely confident.
In response, Peng Song and the others could only frown and smile wryly.
They knew Li Fan's personality.
Once Li Fan decided on something, they couldn't stop him.
Wu Chen naturally also noticed the concerns of Peng Song and the others. At this moment, he smiled:
"Brother Li Fan, I know you are from the Outer Seat Domain. The cosmic primordial energy in those places is scarce, which might have caused your cultivation realm to lag behind.
How about this, I won't take advantage of you either. When we spar in the virtual network, I will suppress my realm to match yours, how about that?"
Hearing this, Peng Song and the others' eyes lit up.
Suppressing the realm?
If that were the case, then it truly might be possible!
Regarding this, Li Fan's expression turned strange, and he waved his hand, "Forget it. If you suppress your realm, Young Master Wu Chen won't have a chance to win. You should just go all out."
As soon as these words came out.
Not only did Wu Chen's expression change, but even Peng Song and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Li Fan was actually that confident.
But... wouldn't this be a bit too overconfident?
"Brother Li Fan is truly very confident, possessing the bearing of a great hero of a generation. Since that is the case, I will grant your wish, Brother Li Fan. I will not suppress my realm!
However, I want to set a stake. If I win, whenever you see me in the future, you must call me Big Brother. If you win, I will do the same and call you Big Brother when I see you. This will be valid for one year, how about it?"
Wu Chen laughed heartily at this moment, agreeing to Li Fan's suggestion. He showed a hint of admiration for Li Fan in his eyes, and then casually added a stake for this spar.
As for this stake.
It could be called a 'Brotherhood Match.' Compared to the insulting 'Father-Son Match,' this one was much friendlier.
The only drawback was that it was slightly childish!
Peng Song and the others listened, and their expressions became incredibly strange. In this day and age, people still played games like this?
"Fine, let's set this stake then."
Li Fan's voice rang out at this time.
Li Fan actually didn't care what the stake was, because he had absolute confidence that he would win.
He just wanted the spar to start quickly now.
Because the food had already been served!
If they didn't fight soon, the dishes would get cold!
While the group was talking earlier, the waiter had already brought out over a dozen dishes. The aroma was truly tempting, making Li Fan somewhat eager to feast.
"This..."
Peng Song and the others also hadn't expected Li Fan to actually agree.
But it seemed okay. If Li Fan lost, he would only have to call Wu Chen 'Big Brother.' If an outsider saw it, they would only think the two were close, and wouldn't consider anything else.
"Good! Then, Brother Li Fan, let's meet in the virtual network!"
Wu Chen looked at Li Fan and laughed heartily.
Afterward, Wu Chen didn't hesitate. With a thought, he summoned the login interface for the virtual network and directly logged in on the spot.
Seeing Wu Chen enter, Li Fan also stopped wasting words and entered directly on the spot.
Subsequently, the Middle-aged Man with the large mole on his chin unleashed his aura, and a natural primordial energy barrier enveloped the entire private room.
That's right, he was guarding them.
As Li Fan and Wu Chen entered the virtual network.
Peng Song and the others at the dining table looked at each other, momentarily not knowing what to say.
They had originally just brought Li Fan over for a meal and to catch up.
Unexpectedly, the situation had developed completely beyond their control.
"Uh... should we go take a look?"
At this moment, Peng Song frowned and spoke, breaking the silence at the table.
Although they more or less knew how the outcome would be, waiting here seemed quite boring.
It might as well be better to go watch the progress of the spar.
"Let's go take a look. Maybe Brother Fan can give us a surprise?"
Luo Ling shrugged, letting out a wry smile.
Duan Ping and Duan Linger beside him also nodded, their faces showing wry smiles.
However.
Just as the group was preparing to log into the virtual network to watch the match.
Li Fan and Wu Chen, who had only just logged in not long ago, had already exited, their eyes regaining clarity.
And immediately after.
Wu Chen stood up straight, his face solemn and filled with terror, and performed a salute toward Li Fan.
"Big Brother above, please accept the bow of your junior, Wu Chen!"
"I lost, and I am completely convinced!"
