“There’s nothing impossible. With a fist as big as a sandbag, how could you possibly withstand it?”
Lin Fan strode forward, looking relaxed, as if the previous battle had merely been a warm-up exercise.
“He lost!”
The disciples who had desperately fled hadn’t run far when they turned back to look, only to be stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Lei Kuanglong lost?
This was truly getting out of hand.
The Holy Leader stopped, and so did the members from the other halls, all hovering in midair like they had been stunned, staring at the unbelievable sight.
Lei Ming actually won? He had suppressed Lei Kuanglong. Was this a dream?
Especially the Holy Leader, who was utterly shocked. He never expected Lei Ming to be the one to win in the end.
Lei Kuanglong even possessed the Thunder City, a treasure refined by the ancient ancestor. For Lei Ming to suppress it directly was simply unfathomable.
“My young friend Kuanglong, how are you feeling?” Lin Fan stood before Lei Kuanglong, smiling lightly. To Lei Kuanglong, however, that smile was nothing but mockery.
“Damn it…” Lei Kuanglong growled hoarsely. Although Lin Fan’s punch hadn’t seemed particularly powerful, it had been unavoidable, with every flow of energy completely controlled by his opponent.
“The Punishment Hall is now mine, and you can just step aside. Although, if you’re not ready to leave, you can stay here and do chores,” Lin Fan said.
“Oh, this Thunder City is somewhat interesting, but it’s useless now,” he added, holding the Thunder City, which had already been fully subdued. Within it, the Thunder Pool was impressive, but it held no value for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan’s physical body had long since reached the peak of the Ancient Realm. He had no need for further cultivation.
“Return the Thunder City to me!” Lei Kuanglong roared furiously. The Thunder City was everything to him. Without it, his power would drop drastically, and he would never recover again.
“You want it?” Lin Fan dangled the Thunder City in front of Lei Kuanglong, teasingly asking.
Lei Kuanglong glared at Lin Fan with red eyes, instinctively reaching out to grab it, only to grasp at empty air.
“If you want it, just say so. But you can’t just snatch it,” Lin Fan said with a grin.
“What exactly do you want?” Lei Kuanglong gritted his teeth. If looks could kill, Lin Fan would have been slain thousands of times over.
“It’s simple. I just want to know if you submit now,” Lin Fan said, determined to crush Lei Kuanglong’s pride.
Lei Kuanglong lowered his head, his face twisted with fury. Such humiliation was something he would never utter.
“It seems you still refuse to submit. If that’s the case, then I’ll just give this Thunder City away,” Lin Fan said with a smile, then turned to the onlookers, “Who among you wants the Thunder City? Just say you submit, and it’s yours.”
“You dare!” Lei Kuanglong roared. “This was given to me by the Thunder Clan’s ancestor. How dare you give it away?”
“So what? We’re all members of the Thunder Clan. Does it matter who possesses the Thunder City? If you refuse to submit, then it will go to someone who does,” Lin Fan replied.
His words stirred countless hearts.
The Holy Leader of the Holy Thunder Hall naturally wouldn’t say such a thing, but Qing Xuan beside him spoke up, “Hall Leader Lei Ming, I submit.”
“See, someone has submitted,” Lin Fan smiled.
Following her lead, more hall leaders shouted, “Hall Leader Lei Ming, I submit too.”
“I also submit. Give us the Thunder City!”
Among the Thunder Clan, no one would refuse such a treasure, especially now that Lei Kuanglong had been subdued by Lin Fan, and the Thunder Clan disciples no longer feared his authority.
Who would be foolish enough to reject such a treasure?
Lei Kuanglong was furious, “Lei Ming, you dare…”
Lin Fan sneered coldly and turned around. “What’s there not to dare?”
Seeing Lin Fan’s expression, Lei Kuanglong finally gave in. He couldn’t afford to lose the Thunder City. Without it, everything would be lost.
“I submit,” Lei Kuanglong growled lowly, as if releasing all his bitterness in that single utterance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan smiled and immediately tossed the Thunder City into Lei Kuanglong’s arms.
The moment Lin Fan had taken the treasure, he had sensed the ancient ancestor’s mark within it. If he forcibly seized it and erased the mark, it would inevitably provoke suspicion from the ancestor. Besides, the treasure held no real use for him.
The Thunder Clan’s ancestor had not appeared yet, likely watching how things would unfold. If Lin Fan pushed too far, perhaps the ancestor would descend.
At this moment, holding the Thunder City tightly in his arms, Lei Kuanglong felt relieved. As long as the Thunder City remained in his possession, he felt at peace.
“Haha!”
Lin Fan let out a long roar and stepped directly on Lei Kuanglong’s face, striding over him.
“From this day forward, the Punishment Hall will be under my command, Lei Ming. Those of you who wish to join the Punishment Hall had better hurry. Tomorrow, I, your new hall leader, will lead you all on an expedition. Seize this opportunity, for it won’t come again.”
Pfft!
Lei Kuanglong, trampled beneath Lin Fan’s foot, burned with fury. But he knew now that he was no match for his opponent and could only endure silently.
Lin Fan’s domineering act shocked all the disciples present.
The Holy Leader was especially surprised. He had never expected that Lei Ming would so swiftly become the new leader of the Punishment Hall.
The former disciples of the Punishment Hall now shouted in unison, “Long live Hall Leader Lei Ming!”
To them, it didn’t matter who led the Punishment Hall, as long as the leader could lead them to glory.
Now that Lei Kuanglong had been subdued, it proved their new leader possessed formidable strength.
Who among the other halls in the Thunder Sect would dare to bully them now?
Especially when the new leader announced plans to lead them on an expedition the next day, they were even more excited.
Before, when they joined the Punishment Hall, they occasionally went on expeditions, but mostly on their own.
Lei Kuanglong had always been in seclusion, and the other deputy hall leaders paid them no heed, let alone take them along for glory.
Now, Lin Fan’s actions naturally won the crowd’s favor.
This new hall leader was great.
The members of the other halls watching from the sidelines also felt uneasy. Lei Kuanglong had already been a tough opponent, but this new hall leader was even more formidable.
How would they manage from now on?
Lin Fan didn’t care to quarrel with the other halls. Just showcasing the Punishment Hall members would be more than enough.
Tomorrow, he had something big to do.
