Xiao Ze wanted to shout loudly at this bastard, declaring he was in the right, but for some unknown reason, a wave of humiliation overwhelmed him, forcing him into submission.
It was just like when a girl says “no, no,” but eventually ends up saying, “I want it—fuck me until I cry.”
Right now, Xiao Ze was exactly in that kind of situation.
“I was wrong…”
At this moment, Xiao Ze’s voice was hoarse, and his entire body felt as though drained of all strength.
The students below had already been stunned from the very beginning. To them, everything seemed surreal.
Xiao Ze, ranked thirteenth on the Invincible Combat List, had actually been severely reprimanded by a teacher from the D-Class division.
Such a thing had never happened before at Tianfu Academy.
Moreover, Xiao Ze had actually admitted defeat. In their memory, Xiao Ze had always been extremely proud, never yielding to anyone.
This… this…
At this moment, they didn’t even know what to say.
Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. Under his loving discipline, this stubborn student had finally realized his mistake—this was a good thing.
In Lin Fan’s view, the martial arts technique “Flower-Caressing Chrysanthemum Finger” was quite sinister—it could leave a person’s entire body numb and powerless, a perfect blend of softness and strength.
At this moment, Lin Fan gently ran his finger across Xiao Ze’s body. A crackling sound rang out, and instantly, Xiao Ze felt his strength returning, no longer as weak and helpless as before.
The first thing Xiao Ze did upon regaining his strength was to pull up his pants.
“Recognizing one’s mistakes and correcting them is never too late. From now on, be a better person,” Lin Fan sighed, feeling the immense weight of his responsibility.
Guiding a lost lamb back onto the right path of life was such a fulfilling experience.
If it weren’t for other pressing matters, Lin Fan would have loved to spend his entire life teaching others.
“Senior, watch out!” Just then, Han Mengmeng suddenly cried out in alarm.
Regaining his senses, Xiao Ze slowly came to his senses, his fury flaring. His true energy surged, and with a fierce punch, he launched a brutal strike straight at Lin Fan’s chest.
Talk about a quick change of face—unbelievable.
For Xiao Ze, the accumulated humiliation in his heart had reached a breaking point—heneeded to vent it violently.
If even the Heaven-Shaking Halberd had no effect on this person, what more a mere punch? But Xiao Ze didn’t care—hehad to throw this punch anyway.
“Bang…”
Xiao Ze desperately wanted to shout at this scoundrel that he wasn’t wrong, but for some reason, he felt waves of humiliation washing over him, forcing him to submit.
It was as if a girl kept saying “no, no,” but in the end, she would say “yes, do it, make me cry.”
That was pretty much the situation Xiao Ze found himself in now.
“I was wrong…”
At this moment, Xiao Ze’s voice was hoarse, and he seemed completely drained.
The students below the stage had been stunned from the very beginning. To them, everything seemed surreal.
Xiao Ze, ranked thirteenth on the Unparalleled Combat Power List, had been thoroughly humiliated by a teacher from the lowest-ranked class.
This was something that had never happened before at Tianfu Academy.
And Xiao Ze had actually admitted defeat. In their minds, Xiao Ze was an exceptionally proud individual who would never yield to anyone.
This… this was unbelievable.
At this moment, they were at a loss for words.
Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. Under the guidance of his tough love, this stubborn student had finally realized his mistake. This was a good thing.
The technique “Caressing Flowers and Stroking Chrysanthemums” seemed quite sinister to Lin Fan. It could make a person’s entire body go numb and weak, blending hardness with softness.
At this moment, Lin Fan gently touched Xiao Ze with his finger, and with a crack, Xiao Ze immediately felt his strength returning, no longer as weak as before.
The first thing Xiao Ze did after regaining his strength was to pull up his pants.
“It’s never too late to correct your mistakes. From now on, you must strive to be a better person,” Lin Fan said with a sigh, feeling the weight of his responsibility.
Guiding a lost lamb back to the right path in life was such a rewarding experience.
If it weren’t for other matters he had to attend to, Lin Fan would have loved to spend his life educating others.
“Senior, be careful!” At this moment, Han Mengmeng suddenly exclaimed.
Having recovered, Xiao Ze took a moment to gather himself, then erupted in fury. His true energy surged, and he threw a fierce punch straight at Lin Fan’s chest.
This sudden turn of events was truly unexpected.
For Xiao Ze, the humiliation had been piling up, and he needed to vent it all out.
Even the Heaven-Shaking Halberd had been useless against this man, let alone a mere fist, but Xiao Ze didn’t care. He had to throw this punch.
“Bang…”
Lin Fan, who had just been basking in his sense of accomplishment, awkwardly chuckled twice.
This kid was truly incorrigible, and it was infuriating.
Lin Fan tilted his head, looking at Xiao Ze, “It seems the lesson wasn’t painful enough.”
Xiao Ze was startled and quickly retreated, glaring at Lin Fan with gritted teeth before turning and leaving without a word.
The students below the stage made way for him. While they might have enjoyed the spectacle from a distance, they didn’t dare interfere now.
Xiao Ze might have been no match for this teacher from the lowest-ranked class, but dealing with them would be as easy as crushing an ant.
“Senior, you’re amazing!” Han Mengmeng immediately stepped forward, dazzled by the techniques Lin Fan had just displayed.
“What’s the deal between you two and Xiao Ze?” Lin Fan asked.
Han Mengmeng sighed and explained the situation truthfully.
Lin Fan understood. So that’s how it was.
Han Mengmeng was from the Han family, and Xiao Ze was from the Xiao family. A marriage alliance between the two families was a normal thing.
But in the Xuanhuang Realm, when it came to marriages between major families, the opinions of the women were not considered. The decisions made by the elders were like imperial decrees and could not be disobeyed.
A few days ago, Xiao Ze had learned that he had a fiancée. Naturally, he didn’t care and simply followed the family’s arrangements.
Since the two families were now allied, Xiao Ze couldn’t stand to see his fiancée being so close to another man, especially a useless one.
That’s why the earlier scene had unfolded.
Lin Fan didn’t want to get involved in this matter. It was a family affair, and as an outsider, it was better not to meddle.
Besides, he had plans to plunder the four major families. He didn’t have the energy to deal with this.
“You two can handle this yourselves. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now,” Lin Fan said, waving to the two before leaving.
Han Mengmeng and Zang Tianhao watched Lin Fan’s departing figure, clenching their fists.
Today’s events had made Zang Tianhao feel a deep sense of crisis. Facing Xiao Ze, he had felt utterly powerless.
He needed to get stronger, much stronger.
This intense desire to grow stronger was something Zang Tianhao had never felt before.
“I’ve decided to ask Senior to take me as his disciple,” Zang Tianhao said with determination.
“What?” Han Mengmeng was stunned. “Brother Zang, Senior is a teacher from the lowest-ranked class. If you become his disciple, you’ll have to join that class, and you’ll lose all the benefits of being in the second-ranked class.”
“Whether it’s the top-ranked class or the lowest-ranked class, Senior is a true master. If I don’t seize this opportunity, I’m afraid you’ll disappear from my life someday,” Zang Tianhao said.
…
After leaving the academy, Lin Fan wandered around the Great Yan Dynasty.
He then bought thirteen pieces of refined iron from a blacksmith, planning to forge a weapon for each of his thirteen students.
For these thirteen students, getting a good weapon was like a pipe dream, given that they were in the lowest-ranked class.
And Lin Fan wouldn’t be staying in the Great Yan Dynasty for long, as there were more important matters awaiting him.
After making his purchases, Lin Fan strolled around the city.
“Make way, make way!”
A loud shout came from ahead. Lin Fan and the other citizens stood aside, watching a group of people quickly pass by.
“Who is that? Quite the entourage,” Lin Fan wondered, noting the hurried pace of the group.
“The Heaven and Earth Merchant Guild seems to be auctioning off a rare treasure this time.”
“That was the banner of the Yun family.”
“Yesterday, I saw some high-ranking members of the Holy Demon Sect in the city. They must be here for the auction too.”
…
Lin Fan listened carefully to the rumors around him. When he heard about the Holy Demon Sect, he was surprised. He hadn’t expected them to send people as well.
What kind of treasure could it be to attract even the sects?
Lin Fan now had two tasks: first, to inform his sect about the conspiracy between the Yan Emperor and the Empress, and second, to see if he could get his hands on this treasure.
“Brother, you mentioned that the Holy Demon Sect’s high-ranking members are in the city. Do you know where they’re staying?” Lin Fan asked.
“Young man, that’s a question you might as well not ask. The Great Yan Dynasty is a vassal state of the Holy Demon Sect. Naturally, their high-ranking members would stay there,” the bearded man said, pointing towards the imperial palace.
Lin Fan frowned. This was troublesome. The imperial palace was where the Yan Emperor and the Empress resided, and they were both incredibly powerful. If he wasn’t careful and got caught, it would be disastrous.
Lin Fan nodded and then blended into the crowd. He decided to go and see what the Heaven and Earth Merchant Guild was auctioning off that had attracted so many people.
This brat was simply unteachable—so infuriating.
Lin Fan bent his head and looked at Xiao Ze, saying, “Looks like the lesson wasn’t thorough enough yet.”
Xiao Ze was shocked, quickly retreating, glaring at Lin Fan with gritted teeth, before turning and leaving without looking back.
The students below quickly parted a path for him. While watching from below, they might have found it amusing, but now was not the time for jokes.
Xiao Ze might not be able to defeat this D-Class teacher, but dealing with them would be no harder than crushing an ant.
“Senior, you’re amazing!” Han Mengmeng immediately stepped forward, her eyes sparkling with admiration at the techniques Lin Fan had just displayed.
“What’s going on between you two and Xiao Ze?” Lin Fan asked.
When Han Mengmeng heard the senior ask, she sighed helplessly and truthfully explained the situation.
Lin Fan listened and understood. So that was how it was.
Han Mengmeng was from the Han family, and Xiao Ze belonged to the Xiao family. An arranged marriage between the two families was quite normal.
However, in the Xuanhuang Realm, when powerful families arranged marriages, the girl’s opinion was never considered. Once the elders of the clan decided something, it was like an imperial decree—unquestionable and unchangeable.
A few days ago, Xiao Ze had learned he already had an arranged fiancée, and naturally, he didn’t care—he followed whatever the clan decided.
Since the two families had already arranged the marriage, Xiao Ze naturally disapproved of his fiancée being so intimately close with another man, especially a useless one.
That was why the earlier scene had unfolded.
As for this matter, Lin Fan had no intention of interfering—it was a family affair, and as an outsider, it was better not to get involved.
Besides, he had plans to raid the Four Great Clans. He didn’t have the time or energy to deal with such matters.
“Handle this matter yourselves. I have other things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first,” Lin Fan said, waving his hand at the two before departing.
Han Mengmeng and Zang Tianhao watched the senior’s figure disappear, clenching their fists tightly.
Today’s events had left Zang Tianhao with a deep sense of crisis. Facing Xiao Ze had made him painfully aware of his own helplessness.
Become stronger. Become stronger.
This intense desire to grow stronger was something Zang Tianhao had never felt before.
“I’ve decided—I’m going to ask the senior to accept me as a disciple,” Zang Tianhao said, as if he had made a firm decision.
“What?” Han Mengmeng was taken aback. “Brother Zang, the senior is a D-Class teacher. If you become his disciple, you’ll have to become a D-Class student. That means you’ll lose all the privileges of being in the B-Class division.”
“A-Class, D-Class—it doesn’t matter. The senior is a cultivation expert beyond the mundane world. If I don’t seize this opportunity now, I fear you may one day disappear from my life,” Zang Tianhao said.
…
After leaving the academy, Lin Fan wandered through the Yan Imperial Dynasty.
Later, he bought thirteen pieces of refined iron from a blacksmith’s shop, planning to forge a weapon for each of his thirteen students.
For these thirteen students, obtaining a good weapon was nothing more than a fantasy, considering they were all D-Class students.
Moreover, Lin Fan wouldn’t be staying in the Yan Imperial Dynasty for long, as he had more important matters to attend to.
After purchasing the items, Lin Fan casually strolled around the city.
“Make way! Make way!”
At that moment, a shout rang out from ahead. Lin Fan and the townspeople stepped aside as a group of people quickly passed by.
“Who is this person? They sure have a grand entourage,” Lin Fan muttered in confusion. Judging from their urgency, something important must have happened.
“I heard that the Heaven and Earth Trading House is auctioning off a rare treasure this time.”
“That was the Yun family’s banner just now.”
“Yesterday, I even saw some high-level figures from the Saint Devil Sect in the city. They must be here for this auction too.”
…
Lin Fan listened carefully to the whispers around him. When he heard the mention of the Saint Devil Sect, he paused in surprise. He hadn’t expected them to send people here as well.
What kind of treasure could it be that even a sect like them had dispatched members?
Lin Fan now had two things to do. First, he needed to inform his sect about the secret plot between the Yan Emperor and the Empress. Second, this treasure might be worth obtaining.
“Brother, you just mentioned that the Saint Devil Sect’s high-level figures have arrived in the city. Do you know where they are staying now?” Lin Fan asked.
“Young man, asking me is pointless. After all, the Yan Imperial Dynasty is a vassal state of the Saint Devil Sect. Naturally, their important figures would be staying there,” the bearded man chuckled, pointing toward the imperial palace.
Lin Fan frowned. This complicated things. If they were staying in the imperial palace, how could he dare to go there? The Yan Emperor and Empress resided there, and both were extremely powerful. If he were discovered even for a moment, it would be the end of him.
Lin Fan nodded and disappeared into the crowd. Right now, he wanted to see exactly what treasure the Heaven and Earth Trading House was auctioning off that had drawn so many people.
