The Lin family wanted the spirit mine, and the Han family was willing to give it, but they never expected the Han family to be so principled, refusing to hand over the spirit mine even after their family was destroyed.
"Family Head Lin, that's where you're wrong!"
Lu Fan suddenly said, "The Taiyuan Spirit Mine rightfully belongs to the Lin family. If you seize it like this, what will happen to the Lin family's reputation when word gets out!"
"Who are you?"
Family Head Lin was surprised. Although Lu Fan was young, his aura was extraordinary. If he were from the Han family, they would have to be extremely cautious.
"I am a friend of Young Master Han!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "If these two families go to war today, neither the Lin family nor the Han family will come out unscathed!"
"Brother Lu!"
Han Feng's expression changed, wanting to dissuade Lu Fan. This matter concerned the Han family, and he naturally didn't want to implicate Lu Fan.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, adding, "While the Lin family's people are indeed stronger than the Han family today, if the Han family's descendants rise one day, the Lin family might face a deadly calamity!"
"Hmph, our dignified Lin family would fear the Han family's descendants?"
Lin Ziying's expression was cold. She had been exceptionally talented since childhood, becoming a Spirit King at a young age. Among the younger generation, she had never taken anyone seriously.
"Since Miss Lin is so confident, how about we make a bet?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"If you can defeat me in front of everyone, the Taiyuan Spirit Vein will be handed over to the Han family."
Lu Fan's words were solemn, "If I lose to you, the Lin family will leave Hancheng and never set foot in it again!"
"Just you?"
Lin Ziying sneered, not taking Lu Fan seriously at all. As a proud prodigy of the Lin family, she naturally wouldn't care about someone like Lu Fan.
"I think this proposal is excellent!"
Family Head Lin nodded, then looked at the Han family head. "What do you think?"
"The Han family has no objections!"
Han Feng spoke first, "However, the Lin family must honor their promise. If they lose, they will leave Hancheng and not trouble the Han family!"
"It's a deal!"
Family Head Lin nodded, his eyes gleaming. He had great confidence in his daughter's strength.
More importantly, this way, the Lin family would not be seen as bullying the weaker.
Lin Ziying glanced at Lu Fan and instantly appeared on the plaza, looking at Lu Fan. "Be careful during the fight. Swords and sabers have no eyes. If you lose, I won't spare your life!"
"Miss Lin, please go ahead. If you can even touch the hem of my clothes, then I concede!"
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, leaping forward with a certain elegance.
"Xiao Feng, will little brother Lu be alright?"
The Han family head asked, "This matter has nothing to do with him!"
"Don't worry, Father. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be sure, but with the Sect Master making a move, this matter will surely be resolved!" Han Feng said seriously.
Back at Bei Hai Academy, Lu Fan had already shown his brilliance. Dealing with Lin Ziying now would be no difficult task.
The Han family head nodded, but still felt a bit worried. This was originally the Han family's affair. If Lu Fan were implicated, how could he bear it?
"Ziying, strike quickly. Don't let him gain the upper hand!"
Family Head Lin reminded her, his expression solemn. He naturally didn't want Lin Ziying to lose.
"Don't worry, Father. It won't take much effort to deal with him!" Lin Ziying said indifferently.
Lu Fan stood aside, and at these words, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
In an instant, Lin Ziying appeared before Lu Fan like a phantom, intending to intimidate him. But just as she moved, Lu Fan's figure vanished from his spot.
When Lu Fan reappeared, Lin Ziying was slightly shocked. Lu Fan's speed was far superior to hers.
"Such speed, could this person also be a Spirit King?"
An elder from the Lin family exclaimed, looking astonished.
"If you have the ability, face me head-on. What kind of skill is it to hide and dodge?"
Lin Ziying said coldly. Having lost face in her previous attempt, she naturally harbored dissatisfaction towards Lu Fan.
"If you face me head-on, you'll likely be even less of my match!"
Lu Fan sneered, and lightning power instantly condensed on his palm. This lightning power was the essence of the Profound Lightning Art.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, Lin Ziying was sent flying back violently. In Lu Fan's hands, she couldn't even last a few moves.
"So strong!"
The Han family head was surprised. He could clearly feel that Lu Fan's strength was completely above his. If Lu Fan wished, he would be no match for him.
Family Head Lin also saw the situation and frowned. The technique Lu Fan had just displayed was extraordinary, seemingly drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
"Miss Lin, you have lost!" Lu Fan chuckled, "According to our agreement, the Lin family will leave Hancheng."
"Who says I've lost!"
Lin Ziying said coldly, "That was just a moment of carelessness that allowed you to sneak attack. This time, I won't hold back."
Lu Fan let out a cold laugh, finding Lin Ziying's stubbornness quite amusing. "Since Miss Lin refuses to concede, I will fight until you admit defeat. I'd like to see what abilities Miss Lin truly possesses!"
"Hmph!"
Lin Ziying snorted and charged at Lu Fan again, carrying a powerful aura.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan unhurriedly retreated, his gaze growing colder. At that very moment, a flame suddenly appeared on his palm. This flame was extremely peculiar, burning on Lu Fan's palm, carrying a world-destroying power. The entire Hancheng vibrated with the rising temperature due to this flame.
"What is this? How can it be so terrifying?"
The Han family head exclaimed. Having roamed the Spirit Realm for so many years, he had never felt such a terrifying aura. Han Feng also stood stunned, not knowing what technique Lu Fan was using.
Lu Fan had not displayed such terrifying power even at the Bei Hai Grand Assembly.
Lin Ziying coughed lightly, her body constantly retreating, even showing a hint of panic. She could never have imagined that Lu Fan, who appeared so ordinary, could possess such deterrence. Such a terrifying aura was not something she could resist.
"Sacred Fire!"
Family Head Lin was greatly shocked. He never expected that such a young Lu Fan would control the Sacred Fire. This was no ordinary power; even he would have to retreat.
"Miss Lin, do you concede?"
Lu Fan, holding the White Lotus Sacred Fire, stared directly at Lin Ziying, emanating an overwhelming aura. The entire Hancheng felt the temperature, which made them tremble in fear.
Being able to make the entire city feel this way was a testament to the power of the flame Lu Fan controlled.
"I..."
Lin Ziying retreated a few more steps. "I concede!"
She was finally afraid, for she felt terror. If Lu Fan attacked her, she would surely die.
