At that moment, Li Fan suddenly had a feeling...
That so-called Lin Yihao... had to be the protagonist of this world, right??
A useless nobody rising to greatness... That was a textbook fantasy protagonist's story.
At the same time, he couldn't help looking at Fan Paiming with a hint of sympathy!
No wonder the guy hadn't looked happy when he'd heard Lin Yihao's name earlier...
Nobody could be happy after picking a fight with the protagonist.
"Lin Yihao is too strong. He can even slay forbidden beasts at the Three Nas level. My brother will be killed in an instant when the time comes!"
