Ling Fan showed not a hint of panic; instead, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward rather than back, meeting the dean's Copper Fist Iron Arm head-on!
"Let's try with a force of 200,000 catties first," Ling Fan muttered silently to himself.
He certainly didn't want to kill the dean with a single punch; there was much more use for this fellow later on!
In theory, the foundation strength of the Martial Saint Realm is only about 60,000 catties. Ling Fan had estimated over three times that for the dean, which was quite an overestimation.
"Bang!"
In just a few breaths, the two men's fists had collided solidly without any fancy moves - a real brute force clash.
As everyone watched on with tense expressions, they were shocked to see Ling Fan's figure suddenly retreat explosively after a momentary pause!
