Standing atop the Tongtian Platform, Chu Tianhe was in high spirits, his gaze sharp. Lu Fan, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth, dared to challenge him on the Tongtian Platform. Chu Tianhe would not let this opportunity pass.
On the Tongtian Platform, even if he killed Lu Fan, he would not violate the academy rules. It could be said that within the Tongtian Platform, it was equivalent to a death arena where any grudges could be resolved.
"They haven't arrived yet. Could it be they're scared!" Chu Tianhai said leisurely, "I thought they were so formidable! Turns out they're just like this."
Upon hearing these words, Chu Tianhe's smile deepened, his disdain for Lu Fan and the others growing.
As they were conversing, Lu Fan and his group also arrived at the Tongtian Platform. Han Xiaoxiao, Zhao Hanxue, and others, even Liuli and Shen Yehong, had come. Many of the newly admitted students who entered the academy with them also came to watch.
Even Lin Jiutian stood not far from the Tongtian Platform, wanting to see if Lu Fan truly possessed the strength to defeat an elder student.
"You're finally here, kid. I thought you wouldn't show up."
Chu Tianhe narrowed his eyes, "If that were the case, it would be too regrettable."
"Don't worry, I never go back on my word."
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Today, I want to see what capabilities you have!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Fan leaped into the air and ascended the Tongtian Platform, his gaze growing indifferent.
If not for Chu Tianhe's provocation, he would not have acted so directly.
The crowd present instantly became excited, as they too wanted to see who was more formidable, Lu Fan or Chu Tianhe.
"Brother, teach him a good lesson! Teach him how to behave!" Chu Tianhai said confidently, a faint smile on his face.
Chu Tianhe nodded slightly, channeling powerful spiritual energy in his hand. Since Lu Fan dared to come, he would make Lu Fan understand the consequences.
At that very moment, a powerful gust of wind surged towards Lu Fan. Where it passed, even space seemed to distort. The strength of a Celestial Venerable was not to be underestimated; in the outside world, he would be considered a major figure.
Rumble...
A deafening collision echoed. Chu Tianhe and Lu Fan clashed, and the entire Tongtian Platform resounded. However, to everyone's surprise, Chu Tianhe was sent flying, directly blasted off the Tongtian Platform, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Witnessing this scene, many exclaimed in shock, clearly not expecting such a reversal beforehand. They had thought Lu Fan would be the one disciplined, but the current spectacle left them dumbfounded. Su Dan Novel Network
"Brother, are you alright!"
Chu Tianhai rushed forward, his eyes filled with fear. He had never imagined that his elder brother would be sent flying by a single palm from Lu Fan, and that he was not Lu Fan's match, nor on the same level.
"My apologies, I didn't quite control my strength!"
Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze indifferent.
Lin Jiutian, standing nearby, saw this scene as if it were only natural and showed no surprise. However, a sharp glint flickered in his eyes as he looked at Lu Fan.
"I thought you were so powerful! Turns out you're just so-so!"
Han Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I think you should stop embarrassing yourselves, or the elder students of Tongtian Academy will lose face because of you!"
The expressions of many elder students darkened. In previous years, such an incident had never occurred within Tongtian Academy. Now, to have elder students bullied by new students, how could they tolerate it?
"I'm not killing him today, not because I fear him."
Lu Fan shrugged, "But because I don't want to go too far. I hope you all understand!"
After speaking, Lu Fan slowly stepped off the Tongtian Platform. He had not used his full strength just now, otherwise, with his power, Chu Tianhe would have long since died.
"How could you be so soft-hearted!" Han Xiaoxiao shook her head, "He was ready to kill you, and you just let him go. You won't have a good outcome in the future."
"He and I are not mortal enemies, so why bother?" Lu Fan shook his head, "However, I am curious, whose side are you really on? You appear to be on my side, but in reality, you're not acting in my best interest."
"What are you saying? I'm not that kind of person." Han Xiaoxiao gave an awkward smile, "Don't overthink it."
Lu Fan said nothing more, his expression calm. Han Xiaoxiao did not seem like a good person, and her words just now were clearly meant to sow discord.
Leaving the Tongtian Platform, Lu Fan prepared to head to the cultivation pavilion. The resources within Tongtian Academy should not be wasted; that would be a terrible waste.
"You are strong!"
Lin Jiutian suddenly spoke, "Perhaps one day, we will have a battle!"
Lu Fan paused, looking at Lin Jiutian with a sense of bewilderment, "We have no enmity, why would I fight you?"
"Some things are better left unsaid. It loses its charm." Lin Jiutian smiled, "I hope that day never comes! But if it does, I will definitely defeat you."
Lu Fan suddenly felt helpless. In the blink of an eye, he had gained another enemy, which was hard for him to accept.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Tongtian Platform, two old men stroked their beards, quite approving of Lu Fan's performance.
"I never expected this batch of new students to be so strong. With their current strength, they might all be able to enter the West Courtyard!"
"Who would have thought! The stronger the new students, the harder it is for the elder students. These elder students are not easy to deal with, but ultimately, they've been made to look foolish."
The two old men spoke back and forth, clearly enjoying themselves.
Chu Tianhe sat cross-legged, continuously recovering his internal energy, his face pale. Although it was only a single palm strike against Lu Fan, that strike made him realize how strong Lu Fan truly was. With his current strength, he was no match for Lu Fan.
Many elder students also fell into despair. Among the elder students, there were several Half-Saints, but even if they were to fight, they might not be able to defeat Lu Fan.
Lu Fan's ability to easily injure a Celestial Venerable was enough to demonstrate his strength.
"If he hadn't held back earlier, I might have lost my life."
Chu Tianhe said helplessly, "I never imagined that kid's strength would be so formidable."
"If that's the case, has he reached the Half-Saint realm?"
With fear in his eyes, Chu Tianhai was at a loss. This matter was originally his doing, and now he had implicated Chu Tianhe, making him feel quite helpless.
He had been thinking about how to deal with Lu Fan, but if Lu Fan was truly a Half-Saint expert, then he was someone they could not afford to provoke. He was perfectly clear about this.
