Chapter 283: Such Radiance, Such Distinction

At the moment Lin Fan raised his palm high, the heavens and earth changed dramatically. The clouds above the azure sky scattered in all directions, followed by flashes of thunder and rumbles echoing through the air.

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, slightly lifting his head. What on earth was going on?

Could it be that the incomplete “Ancient Arm” was this powerful? Just a slight raising of his hand had caused the heavens and earth to tremble?

The disciples of Yue Palace Sect were stunned at this moment. What was happening now? Why was the sky filled with thunderclouds?

Even the disciples of Jiuxiao Sect were frightened by the celestial anomaly. It had been a clear day; how could it suddenly erupt into thunderous rumbles? The sight in the sky was somewhat terrifying, the thick bolts of lightning carrying immense power that made their hearts tremble.

“Hmph, you disgrace of a sect, today I shall summon the world-annihilating celestial thunder to cleanse our sect’s shame,” Lin Fan declared coldly. With a flip of his palm, the thunderous energy from the void descended like a dragon from the heavens, coiling around his hand.

Zizi…

The light flared brilliantly, leaving everyone stunned.

Could it truly be that this person was the cause of the celestial phenomenon?

Feng Xiaoling was also awestruck. This was too unbelievable. How could someone be this powerful? Even during the battle of the most outstanding geniuses, he had never displayed such might.

Could it be that back then, Lin Senior Brother had intentionally refrained from defeating Xin Senior Brother to preserve Jiuxiao Sect’s dignity?

The more Feng Xiaoling thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. He gazed at Lin Fan with admiration.

Who would have thought that Lin Senior Brother hadn’t displayed his full strength back then? If he had unleashed his full power, Xin Senior Brother would undoubtedly have suffered a crushing defeat.

At this moment, Lin Fan was unaware of all the thoughts swirling in Feng Xiaoling’s mind. Still, he couldn’t help but give him credit for his active imagination.

“How is this possible…” Li Tianxing’s expression drastically changed. The power contained within that single palm strike was simply too strong. With this thought, Li Tianxing wanted to retreat.

Observing the ever-changing expressions on Li Tianxing’s face, Lin Fan sneered disdainfully.

“Too late…”

BOOM…

A palm strike carrying supreme power descended from the heavens without hesitation.

Under this palm strike, the earth trembled violently. Lin Fan hadn’t expected the “Ancient Arm” to be this powerful. He probably hadn’t even fully studied its capabilities yet.

“Ding, congratulations on defeating Xiaotian Mid-tier Li Tianxing.”

“Ding, experience increased by 30 million.”

“Tsk, waste of space,” Lin Fan inwardly cursed. Only this much experience? What good was it to him?

At this moment, everyone was stunned, staring wide-eyed at the scene before them.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan strode toward the Yue Palace Sect.

Mu Han hadn’t expected this person to be so terrifying. They had witnessed that palm strike—it was horrifying, powerful enough to cause celestial changes.

Especially that thunderous energy. Just a single glance had filled them with dread. Yet, this person had manipulated that terrifying thunder as easily as playing with his own hands.

Even their sect leader probably wouldn’t have survived such a palm strike.

“Are you all alright?” Lin Fan asked casually, his expression unchanged. To the disciples of Yue Palace Sect, this person was vastly different from others—he wasn’t tempted by their beauty.

“We’re fine, but we were poisoned with something that drains all our strength. We don’t know how to counteract it,” Mu Han replied, finally relaxing as the danger appeared to have passed.

“Lin Senior Brother, this is Soft Bone Powder, Li Tianxing’s signature poison. Without an antidote, even an expert at the peak of Xiaotian would need two hours to recover their strength,” Feng Xiaoling explained as he ran over from a distance. He had to clarify things—he couldn’t let Lin Senior Brother misunderstand.

“Hmph.” Lin Fan glanced at Feng Xiaoling and snorted. Then, with a flick of his right hand, flames surged forth, drawing various herbs into their midst, their essences merging.

“A mere underhanded trick like this dares to challenge me?”

Lin Fan displayed his skill, and everyone was instantly stunned.

Feng Xiaoling stared in disbelief, his mind in a haze. What kind of flame was that? Could Lin Senior Brother also be an expert in pill refinement?

This was simply beyond comprehension.

Lin Senior Brother was already formidable in combat, and judging from his manner, his pill-refining skills were also exceptional—an ability that seemed utterly impossible to ordinary people.

Although Li Tianxing could concoct poisons, that was merely an auxiliary skill from his toxic cultivation path, vastly inferior to genuine pill refinement.

At this moment, Mu Han was also shocked. Using one’s bare hands for pill refinement was unheard of. Although she wasn’t an expert in alchemy herself, she had seen her master refining pills before, and it was never this effortless.

Before each refining session, thorough preparations were made, and one’s physical, mental, and spiritual states were brought to their peak.

As her master would say, this ensured the best state for producing the finest pills.

Yet, this person’s method of pill refinement completely overturned everything they had previously understood.

At this moment, the surging flames trembled slightly, and one pill after another, resembling white pearls, flew out from the fire.

“A few simple pills. Take them, and the poison will be neutralized,” Lin Fan said, his palm sweeping through the air. The flames instantly dissipated.

At this moment, Mu Han looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. This was too fast—just a few breaths from start to finish.

This… this…

A chill ran through Mu Han’s heart. This person was truly terrifying.

Then, everyone swallowed the pills. A medicinal force spread through their bodies, dispersing the poison entirely.

“What an incredible pill!” Mu Han murmured.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoling was already in a daze, having been stunned since Lin Fan began refining the pills. In his eyes, it was simply inconceivable.

“Lin Senior Brother…” Feng Xiaoling finally spoke.

“Hmph, I said not to call me senior brother. I don’t have a junior brother like you,” Lin Fan retorted, flicking his sleeve with an expression of righteous indignation that seemed perfectly acted.

The Yue Palace Sect disciples now held Lin Fan in high regard.

He had eliminated evil within his own sect, displayed great strength, held a high status, possessed a steady appearance, and exuded an outstanding aura. Most importantly, he was young.

He was the very embodiment of a prince charming.

Some female disciples of Yue Palace Sect lowered their heads, blushing slightly. How could they have such shameful thoughts?

But even so, the big senior sister still had the best chance, right?

The big senior sister was strong, beautiful, well-endowed, and had a great figure, and…

At this moment, the female disciples of Yue Palace Sect exchanged knowing smiles, glancing mischievously at the big senior sister.

Mu Han hadn’t noticed anything unusual about her juniors’ gazes at first, but suddenly her pretty face flushed red. She glared at them, urging them to behave themselves and stop having wild thoughts.

Mu Han secretly stole a glance at the outstanding Lin Fan and finally shook her head.

A man like him was like the bright moon in the starry sky—resplendent and dazzling. Although she harbored secret admiration, she understood her place. He was simply beyond her reach.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoling grew anxious. “Lin Senior Brother, hear me out. Alright, I won’t call you senior brother. Just let me finish speaking… Lin Senior Brother, please, let me explain. I really need to explain.”

At this moment, Feng Xiaoling was genuinely in tears, tightly gripping Lin Fan’s sleeve with a tear-streaked face. Couldn’t he just be allowed to finish speaking?

“Quickly then,” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.
