Although what happened with Xiao Tao piqued everyone's curiosity, it did not stop them from what they were doing, as another person quickly jumped into the ring.
The one who rushed into the ring was a handsome young man with long black hair tied in a high ponytail and sharp black eyes. There was an aura of absolute confidence around him, as if he were the center of everything.
"Lin Fan, 20 years old, Purple Heart Sect," said Lin Fan with a confident smile as he held an old-looking sword in his hand. "Is there anyone who wants to spar with me?"
"..." - On the stage, Lin Fan scanned all the students in the hall. He didn't just focus on the students from High Heaven Pavilion, but it was clear that his gaze lingered longer on Su Yan as well as the Hu sisters. There was an unmistakable hint of possession and desire in his eyes.
[Ding! A Favored Son of Heaven has been detected.]
"..." - Yu Tian remained silent, staring at Lin Fan with some curiosity, as he could see the number 1200 above Lin Fan's head, representing his Fortune Value.
But that wasn't all. Lin Fan's Fortune Value was green, which was relatively high, as the average person's Fortune Value was red, while Lin Fan's was green.
By the way, the colors were divided into Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple, while Yu Tian's color was black, as Yu Tian was an Anomaly, and the basic laws did not apply to him.
"I see, so that's the situation," Yu Tian thought as he noticed the old ring Lin Fan wore as a necklace. This was a cliché plot in Chinese novels, where the protagonist has an ordinary ring that ends up containing the spirit of a powerful person, who would then help the protagonist grow stronger until they dominate the world.
Although Yu Tian didn't need someone to grant him martial arts or anything like that, he had to admit he felt a little envious of Lin Fan, as he had someone experienced to guide him along his martial arts path. In contrast, Yu Tian didn't have a clear path in mind; he just wanted to grow stronger in hopes of one day reuniting with his family. He had been an ordinary person a few years ago and didn't quite know what to do, so having someone to guide him when he felt lost would have been wonderful. But unfortunately, he didn't have such a person.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really was a fool because, even though he didn't have a mentor, there were many people willing to support him if he ever faced any problems, like Yu Ya and Jasmine, and the others.
As for his martial arts path, he had a way to solve this problem, but he was trying to avoid using it as much as possible, because he was a little scared of the results. However, he was now different from before and was ready to accept whatever came his way, especially when he thought of the many people supporting him who wouldn't care even if his fears were true.
"Su Yan, 20 years old, High Heaven Pavilion." - At that moment, a cold and beautiful voice echoed across the world. There was a cool breeze as Su Yan appeared on the stage. "I would like to spar with you."
"Big Sister Su Yan has stepped into the ring," whispered one of the High Heaven Pavilion students in astonishment. Although Su Yan always attended such events due to being a Core Disciple, she rarely fought, as no one had the strength to face her.
"Does this mean that Lin Fan is strong enough for Big Sister Su Yan to want to spar with him?" muttered another student in amazement as he stared at Lin Fan with newfound respect.
"Could it be that Big Sister Su Yan has fallen for Lin Fan's looks?" said a female student dreamily, staring at Lin Fan's face. It was clear that he was incredibly handsome, and she wouldn't mind marrying him, even if she had to take care of him for the rest of her life.
"Are you an idiot? It's obvious that Elder Yu is hundreds of times more handsome than him," said another female student, glaring at the girl with disdain. No matter how handsome Lin Fan was, he couldn't compare to Yu Tian.
"That's true, but unlike Elder Yu, who seems otherworldly, Lin Fan feels more relatable to us than Elder Yu," said the first student quietly and with disappointment, as even she preferred Yu Tian over Lin Fan. But unfortunately, it was clear that she and Yu Tian were from different worlds, whereas Lin Fan seemed to be in the same world as her when compared to Yu Tian.
Not to mention, the relationship between student and teacher was one of the biggest taboos in this world. Although many people were lovers despite their student-teacher relationships, with enough power, no one dared to say anything to them, as the strongest fist always prevailed, not the opinions of the weak who couldn't do anything.
"..." - Naturally, Yu Tian heard the whispers of the students but ignored them, as he was curious about how Su Yan would fare against Lin Fan, the Favored Son of Heaven with high fortune, especially since Su Yan was the Favored Daughter of Heaven, with a Fortune Value of 2500, which was double that of Lin Fan's.
