Dragon Martial Sovereign

Lin Fan remained unmoved.

He still spoke indifferently, "I've said it before, even if one attains the first place on the Dragon List, so what?"

The man said, "If, indeed, one can achieve the first ranking on the Dragon List, they could be appointed as one of the candidates for the Crown Prince of the Central Empire."

This time, Lin Fan was taken aback.

He hadn't expected that the first place on the Dragon List held such significance.

Apparently, once one achieved first place on the Dragon List, they were one step closer to the peak of power.

Still, Lin Fan remained indifferent.

After all, Lin Fan's ultimate goal was to replace Hu Mei'er.

Thus, he didn't care for the status of a Crown Prince candidate in the Central Empire.

At this moment, the woman suddenly let out a shout, declaring, "Young Hero Lin Fan, since you refuse to make a move, I will. No matter what, today, I must test your combat power."

A shadow swept towards Lin Fan.

The woman made her move.

A myriad of palm silhouettes suddenly appeared from all directions around Lin Fan, sweeping towards him.

"What a powerful attack!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan might not be interested in the ranking of the Dragon List, but now, with the ferocious attack from the woman, he dared not spare any effort and quickly activated the Breaking Character Technique from the Combat Six-Character Technique.

The Heaven Punishment Divine Spear had already appeared in Lin Fan's hand.

A single thrust directly penetrated forward.

A single thrust shattered the woman's attack.

The woman was somewhat astonished and said, "Young Hero Lin Fan, your strength is indeed formidable. The attack I just launched was extremely powerful; those ranked outside the top thousand on the Dragon List couldn't possibly withstand it, yet you managed to easily break it. This clearly shows that your strength has already entered within the top thousand of the Dragon List!"

"Again!"

The woman shouted once more, launching another attack.

The woman's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

In her place was endless Sword Qi.

Each strand of Sword Qi was extremely fierce. In an instant, it seemed as if Lin Fan's surroundings had transformed into a world of Sword Qi.

"Impressive!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh to himself again.

Borrowing Character Technique!

This time, Lin Fan used the Borrowing Character Technique from the Combat Six-Character Technique.

Borrowing Power to Fight Power!

Suddenly, Lin Fan's Heaven Punishment Divine Spear swiftly swung through the air.

In just an instant, Lin Fan seemed to have thrust tens of thousands of times.

Strangely, after each thrust from Lin Fan, the spear appeared soft and weak, as if it contained not a trace of energy.

Lin Fan was employing the Borrowing Character Technique.

Without sensing the opponent's energy, Lin Fan's attacks carried no energy at all, but once he detected the opponent's offensive power, the force in Lin Fan's attacks would abruptly become powerful; stronger against the strong, and weaker against the weak.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing Lin Fan's method of attack, the woman couldn't help but be surprised again.

She was somewhat confused. What was Lin Fan doing? Unleashing so many thrusts in an instant? Yet, each thrust contained no energy?

However, very soon, the woman was shocked.

Because she finally understood the trick behind Lin Fan's attacks.

Promptly, all of the woman's attacks were once again thwarted by Lin Fan.

"Well done, impressive!"

The woman exclaimed once more.

Then, with a palm strike, she bombarded Lin Fan.

On the surface, the woman's palm strike seemed very ordinary, as if devoid of any flashy tricks or variations.

However, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically.

Because he felt the formidable power contained within the woman's palm strike.

The absence of change is the greatest change.

It seemed that this palm strike had no variation.

In truth, this palm strike was infinitely variable.

Lin Fan even felt that this palm was too formidable; he simply couldn't decipher it.

Now, Lin Fan's most powerful combat ability was the Combat Six-Character Technique.

But...

Lin Fan sadly discovered that his Combat Six-Character Technique couldn't unravel this palm strike at all.

"Retreat!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan activated the Fast Character Technique among his Combat Six-Character Techniques.

Lin Fan rapidly retreated.

At this point, Lin Fan's speed had reached its utmost limit.

However, the woman's speed was even more terrifying.

The attack of this palm strike followed like a shadow, reaching in front of Lin Fan in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Lin Fan could clearly feel that this palm contained an overwhelming amount of energy.

If this palm were to land on him, it might cause him serious injury.

Defensive Character Technique!

Lin Fan activated the Defensive Character Technique.

Even though Lin Fan knew that under these circumstances, even with the Defensive Character Technique activated, he wouldn't be able to block this palm strike.

Yet Lin Fan had no other choice.

This was all he could do.

Bang...

Ultimately, the attack from this palm strike hit Lin Fan.

Lin Fan only felt a massive surge of energy rushing towards him.

Unable to control his body, he was sent flying backward, heavily crashing onto the ground.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Lin Fan had activated the Defensive Character Technique, so he blocked most of the attack from the woman's palm.

"Puh!"

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

In that moment, Lin Fan was injured.

Thankfully, it was only a minor injury.

Lin Fan then slowly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the woman, to prevent her from striking again.

However, the woman did not continue to attack. She withdrew all her aura and said to Lin Fan, "Young Hero Lin Fan, to tell you the truth, you have truly surprised me. Among all the people I have seen, your rate of growth is the most terrifying. With such a frightening rate of growth, as long as you don't fall midway, you will surely become a very powerful being one day."

Lin Fan remained silent.

Because his own growth did not require others' compliments.

"Alright, Young Hero Lin Fan, I take my leave. Please forgive today's transgression!" the woman said again.

Following that, Fengyun Two Envoys soared into the sky and quickly left.

Lin Fan just quietly stood there, watching the direction where Fengyun Two Envoys departed, his thoughts unknown.

Hu Feifan, with several experts, rushed over here.

Earlier, Hu Feifan had sensed the battlefield situation here, so he immediately summoned experts to come over, but by the time he arrived, everything had ended.

Hu Feifan quickly came to Lin Fan's side and asked worriedly, "Young master, are you alright?"

Seeing the fresh blood on the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, Hu Feifan looked somewhat anxious.

Lin Fan shook his head and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Hu Feifan asked, "Young master, what exactly happened just now? Who was it that could injure you?"

Lin Fan replied, "Fengyun Envoy!"

"What?"

Hu Feifan was shocked and asked, "Young master, you're saying it was the Fengyun Envoy who injured you? But why would they want to harm you?"

This time, Lin Fan didn't respond.

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't speaking, Hu Feifan didn't continue on this topic, but instead, said to Lin Fan, "Right, young master, you've been injured, we should hurry and treat your wounds!"
