39: Chapter 39 Forming a Club, Shura!

He took the barrier orb.

Li Fan was truly exhilarated at this moment.

He had originally just wanted to try his luck, to ask if there was a way to enter high-level secret realms.

He never expected...

...that there actually was one!

As expected of an S-rank blacksmith! To be able to create something like this!

"Don't worry, Dean Zhu, I understand the situation!"

"Thank you, Dean!"

Li Fan hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Now that he had this thing, he could freely gallop through those high-level secret realms.

If nothing unexpected happened...

...his leveling speed would be extremely fast!

"Hmm, any other questions? If not, I'll be on my way."

"None for now. If I have any later, I'll come find you again, Dean."

"Alright then."

With that said...

...Zhu Tianzheng vanished from the spot with a whoosh.

And once Zhu Tianzheng was gone, Li Fan couldn't help but burst into cheers.

"AWESOME!!!"

Right now, he was already itching to go train in the secret realms.

"Let's boost my stats a bit more, for extra safety!"

Li Fan thought for a moment, then quickly threw himself into a new round of training.

More strength meant less danger, after all.

But just as Li Fan was about to start training...

...he turned and noticed the mess on both sides of the villa.

When Lu Qilai and the other two returned later, he'd probably have quite a bit of explaining to do.

But it wasn't too bad.

For workers with Construction-type talents, this level of damage would probably only take about half an hour to fix.

...

Azure Vault University.

Gu Ling and Liu Mei were strolling along the campus path, browsing the various clubs.

Today, Gu Ling seemed somewhat worried and distracted.

"Ling Ling, what's wrong? Did that brat Li Fan bully you?" Seeing Gu Ling so downcast, Liu Mei couldn't help but think of Li Fan again.

Gu Ling immediately shook her head and said, "Of course not! Brother Li Fan is so good to me! It's something else..."

Liu Mei was taken aback for a moment, then adopted an 'I-know-everything' expression.

"Stop being stubborn. Don't I know you?

I'm telling you, you need to keep a close eye on this Li Fan. He snatched the top spot among the New Students at Beidi, so he's definitely feeling full of himself now. Who knows when he might just dump you!"

When Liu Mei had learned earlier that Li Fan had successfully entered North Emperor University and was even the top New Student...

...her jaw had practically hit the floor.

Now, her attitude towards Li Fan was no longer focused on his D-rank 'trash' talent, but had shifted to imagining him as a scumbag playboy.

Gu Ling glanced at Liu Mei, her self-proclaimed 'strategist', and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Just yesterday, Liu Mei had been dumped by a guy and cried her eyes out in the dorm.

And now she was trying to give *her* advice?

In any case, she absolutely would not be influenced by this Liu Mei.

The reason Gu Ling was so worried...

...was mainly because of what happened at the restaurant entrance yesterday.

She had asked her cousin Gu Quan to inquire about He Wenguang.

This He Wenguang and the He Family behind him had a very deep background.

Even her own Gu Family had to be somewhat wary of them.

If He Wenguang refused to let it go and was determined to target Li Fan...

...the consequences were truly hard to imagine.

Thinking deeply about it, she could only feel a sense of helplessness.

What she could do to help Li Fan was still far too limited.

All she could do now was improve herself as much as possible, hoping to be of help to Li Fan in the future.

...

"Holy crap! What happened?"

"Did someone fight here?"

"Brother Li Fan, are you okay?"

Outside the villa...

...Lu Qilai and the other two had returned. Seeing the workers repairing the damage, they were all quite startled.

Fortunately, Li Fan appeared in time and explained the situation.

"What? Brother Li Fan, your mentor is Dean Zhu?"

"Really? I heard that Dean Zhu never takes on students!"

Upon hearing that Li Fan's mentor was Zhu Tianzheng...

...Lu Qilai and the other two were startled once again!

But remembering Li Fan's status as the top New Student made them feel a bit better.

Afterwards...

...Li Fan also asked about their situations.

Apart from Lu Qilai, who had joined a club, neither Ma Xiu nor Ning Zhenzhen had managed to join one.

Although they didn't say much, their expressions clearly showed their disappointment.

It couldn't be helped.

Their shortcomings were still too obvious.

Seeing their expressions, Li Fan thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

"How about I create a club? We won't recruit outsiders, just the few of us," Li Fan said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken...

...the three of them all looked at each other.

That was one way to do it.

But it did seem a bit absurd.

For most students, the purpose of joining a club was to form teams to clear secret realms.

They were no exception.

Following this method, would they have to rely on Li Fan to carry them through secret realms later?

Li Fan was very strong. He could easily join those powerful clubs and team up with strong teammates.

Taking them along would just be dead weight.

Even if Li Fan was willing to carry them, they would feel a bit embarrassed.

Li Fan clearly saw Ma Xiu and Ning Zhenzhen's concerns and continued,

"It's fine. If you want to clear a secret realm, just let me know in advance. I'll treat it as going out for a stroll, a fun trip."

"But the condition is, we'll have to bring my girlfriend along when we go."

Li Fan's decision to form a club wasn't made on a whim.

He had actually been thinking about it since early this morning.

It couldn't be helped. Too many clubs had been privately messaging him, calling him, asking if he wanted to join.

His original intention was naturally not to join.

But they were all extremely enthusiastic, making it hard to refuse outright for the time being.

In that case, why not just create his own?

Later, when he got tired from grinding high-level secret realms, he could take Lu Qilai and the other two, along with Gu Ling, to clear some together.

With his strength, matching them to secret realms they could enter would be a complete walk in the park.

It would really be like a vacation for him, and a chance to deepen his relationship with Gu Ling.

Hearing Li Fan's words...

...Ma Xiu and Ning Zhenzhen immediately agreed.

Seeing the situation, Lu Qilai also decided to leave his previous club and join Li Fan's.

"So, Brother Fan, what's our club's name going to be?"

Lu Qilai asked, scratching his head with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, what should the club be called?"

"Brother Fan, I think the name should be super badass!"

Looking at the three of them in their chuunibyou mode, Li Fan thought for a moment.

"Badass, huh? How about... the Asura Club?"

Hearing this name...

...the three of them, with surprisingly consistent taste, immediately decided that was the one.

Li Fan found this both funny and exasperating.

This corny, old-fashioned name had actually managed to hit the spot for these three chuunis.

But it wasn't a big deal.

He didn't really care what the club was called.

His attention was now completely focused on those level 100 secret realms near Beizhou City.

Once the school's public lectures were over, he was ready to set off!
