School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

After the explanation from the old undying about the Vajra Realm's grade level, Xu Fan had developed a strong interest in this spot mentioned by the old undying.

After Zhou Shi'nian's persuasive talk, Xu Fan had developed a deep interest in the opportunity mentioned by Zhou Shi'nian.

Grade level is something that accompanies a cultivator for a lifetime!

In other words, this step, if taken firmly, will be infinitely beneficial, whereas if taken carelessly, there will be hardly any significant achievements in the future!

At the same time, the quality of the grade level will be an incredibly important factor in battles among cultivators of the same level. Lagging in realm can even be compensated by advantages in physical grade level!

Imagine, the same spiritual power, the same cultivation technique, one person's body being impervious to blades and guns, another's like paper, how would the battle proceed?

Before Zhou Shi'nian came, he clearly had made ample preparations. Seeing Xu Fan's hesitant expression, Zhou Shi'nian spoke again.

"Brother Xu, do you know why, despite causing such a commotion at the Huang Family and even almost slaying a Zhiwei Realm powerhouse, you're only ranked third on the Earth List?"

"It's because you haven't entered the Vajra Realm! It's because you haven't shown sufficient excellence in grade level! In this world, geniuses are numerous! Unless you display a brilliance that shocks everyone, blinds them, they won't give you proper respect!"

At this point, Zhou Shi'nian's expression became slightly solemn, "Brother Xu, I'm definitely not trying to scare you! Without an outstanding grade level, the identity of Mo Family heir will inevitably be seen by world cultivators as a puppet! Even if you join our Zhou Family, we might not necessarily be able to protect you!"

This was precisely a concern Xu Fan had been worrying about recently.

At the critical moment in the Huang Family's main hall, when the mechanical warrior was exposed, Xu Fan was labeled by world cultivators as the Mo Family heir.

This identity, for Xu Fan, was clearly not a good thing, even worse than being third on the Earth List!

Without strong power to ensure safety, Xu Fan would be a prized delicacy in the eyes of world cultivators, ready to be devoured in one fell swoop once the time is ripe!

The allure of being the Mo Family heir was too great for world cultivators!

A Mo Family, a century ago, caused significant losses to world cultivators, with numerous top experts falling. Once the ancestral land of the Mo Family is unlocked, and mechanical warriors acquired, strength would surely skyrocket!

Xu Fan knew well that the reason world cultivators hadn't directly acted against him was partly due to the frozen state among major forces worldwide, lacking deep interaction. Rash action against him would certainly draw crossfire from all sides!

On the other hand, perhaps due to the pressure brought by the old undying, a Zhiwei Realm powerhouse standing firmly behind Xu Fan, anyone wanting to act against Xu Fan would have to consider the consequences of angering a Zhiwei Realm powerhouse.

But this is not a long-term plan; the old undying can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime!

Only by truly becoming strong can one dominate their own destiny!

Thinking of this, Xu Fan had already made up his mind; he must obtain the opportunity to achieve the top-grade Vajra Realm level!

"Brother Shi'nian, speak plainly. What trouble does the Zhou Family have that requires help from a small Entering Dao Realm like me?"

Zhou Shi'nian smiled wryly, "Brother Xu, these words are too much; the Zhou Family merely wishes to form a good relationship with Brother Xu. I am a person of the Zhou Family, compelled to work for the Zhou Family, hope Brother Xu can forgive me."

From Xu Fan's words, Zhou Shi'nian sensed Xu Fan's suspicion of the Zhou Family's plotting, clearly somewhat wary, thus Zhou Shi'nian clarified his position; as a person of the Zhou Family, he had no choice but to work for the Zhou Family. Saying such words, even plotting against Xu Fan, was an unavoidable act.

Xu Fan waved his hand dismissively, "Brother Shi'nian, don't take it to heart. Besides, the Zhou Family's request for my help is also an opportunity for me."

"If that's the case, then I'll be frank." Zhou Shi'nian felt relieved seeing Xu Fan's straightforwardness, explaining to Xu Fan, "Among domestic hidden world families, there has been ongoing cooperation; all hidden families recruit many exceptionally talented individuals each year to form battle teams for mutual competition, partly to select and absorb fresh talent, partly to showcase their own strength."

"There are nine teams overall. Our Zhou Family members are assigned to the Grey Wolf Team, but the Grey Wolf Team is too weak and hasn't achieved good rankings in annual battles among teams, so the Zhou Family hopes to invite Brother Xu to the Grey Wolf Team as a coach to prepare for the competition one month from now."

Xu Fan nodded, understanding that hidden world families, as superpowers, naturally have methods to absorb fresh talent. He wasn't surprised by such a selection process.

"My so-called opportunity is likely related to the ranking in the competition one month later, isn't it?"

Compared to the affairs of hidden families, Xu Fan was clearly more concerned about his opportunity.

Zhou Shi'nian sheepishly smiled, "Brother Xu is indeed wise! The top three ranked teams will have ten people eligible to go to a secret realm, where there is a treasured land that can help cultivators break through to the Vajra Realm and enhance their grade!"

Among the nine teams, Xu Fan's task is to elevate the battle power of the Grey Wolf Team into the top three within a month! Only then will there be eligibility to enter the secret realm and break through to the Vajra Realm, achieving a top-grade Vajra Realm!

At the same time, we can see that the team members have strength around the Entering Dao Realm Peak. Too weak, not qualified to go; too strong, unnecessary to go.

Xu Fan's thoughts turned to Liu Tianle.

Liu Tianle's strength is at the Entering Dao Realm Peak, and the opportunity he promised is also one month later. Could it be that Liu Tianle is also a member of one of the nine teams?

Upon hearing Xu Fan's question, Zhou Shi'nian nodded, "That Liu Tianle is the young master of the Liu Family and is also one of the team members, moreover, in the Grey Wolf Team."

Xu Fan imagined Liu Tianle's expression upon seeing him in the Grey Wolf Team, his eyes brightened.

...

Golden sunlight shone down, that was the glimmer of sunset.

The sky had darkened, having agreed with Xu Fan that he would send someone to escort Xu Fan to the Grey Wolf Team the next day, Zhou Shi'nian hurriedly left.

The park once again became quiet, and the painting now only contained the figures of two people.

Golden light cast over Xia Xiaodie, cloaking her in a layer of gold, her whole being exuding an enchanting aura.

In sleep, Xia Xiaodie seemed to have dreamed of something happy, and a sweet smile appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Beside her, Xu Fan, tightly clenching his fists, looked at Xia Xiaodie with eyes full of tenderness.
