"It's all right. I was too excited reciting lines from a novel. Be on your way and ignore anything you hear for the night."
"Yes, sir."
The patrolling soldier heard the scholarly officer's words and went on his way.
Lin Fan had used his Sound Memory ability to inject the scholarly officer's voice into the patrolling soldier's mind.
With the imminent danger averted, Lin Fan continued his struggle with the scholarly officer.
He was now standing behind the scholarly officer, with one hand on the scholarly officer's mouth.
The other hand with his Primordial Claw was digging into the scholarly officer's neck.
Not giving up, the scholarly officer used both of his hands to try to stop Lin Fan's claw.
The scholarly officer directed all his Qi as he increased his strength and protection.
He successfully stopped Lin Fan's claw from advancing into his neck and managed to move Lin Fan's claw away from it.
