Lin Fan sneered inwardly.
"Tang San, I know you're not convinced, but when you don't have the strength to face someone stronger than you, it's best not to let your resentment show on your face. Otherwise, you'll have to pay for it."
Lin Fan watched Tang San with a beaming smile.
"What are you going to do?!"
Tang San's voice was icy.
"You wear your resentment toward me on your face, and it makes me uncomfortable. How about this? As the saying goes, 'A son's faults are his father's; a pupil's failings are his teacher's.' Since you, the disciple, made a mistake, your master can take responsibility."
"Yu Xiaogang, cut off one of your fingers, and I'll let you and your disciple leave unharmed. How does that sound?!"
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then laid out his terms.
"Lin Fan, don't push it!"
Tang San's eyes bulged with rage. If looks could kill, Lin Fan would have been hacked to pieces long ago!
"I'll give you five seconds to think it over. The choice is yours. Five, four, three..."
Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to waste words with Tang San and began counting down.
"Ah!"
When Lin Fan reached two, a scream came from the woods below. A flash of cold light, and one of Yu Xiaogang's fingers was severed at the root. Blood stained the grass beneath him!
"Well? Satisfied now?"
Yu Xiaogang's face was pale, and sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks!
"Teacher!"
Tang San cried out and hurriedly took some medicinal herbs from his Storage Soul Tool to staunch Yu Xiaogang's bleeding.
"Haha, good! You're a real man!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily. After all that, he'd gotten another 3,000 Villain Points from Tang San—a fine haul!
If he hadn't been worried the bloody scene might frighten Xiao Wu, Lin Fan had plenty of ways to get even more Villain Points!
But there was no rush. There would be plenty of chances in the future!
"Tang San, if you want to kill me, then hate me and curse me. Live on like the ugly coward you are. Keep running and hiding, all just to stay alive. Once you're strong enough, come challenge me again!"
After leaving them with those words, Lin Fan paid no more attention to the master and disciple below. He flew the plane back to Notting Academy with Xiao Wu.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye. More than five years passed!
Today was the day Lin Fan and Xiao Wu graduated from Notting Academy!
Over the past few years, aside from eating, drinking, and having fun with Xiao Wu as they grew closer, Lin Fan had spent his time finding ways to rile Tang San and earn Villain Points!
Though he'd spent very little time cultivating, Lin Fan's formidable talent had still raised his Soul Power from level 30 to level 55. He'd also obtained Soul Rings from the system, ideally matched to his body's strength!
Host: Lin Fan
Martial Soul: Primordial Ancestral Dragon
Level: 55
Soul Rings: Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black
Harem: A matter for the future
Villain Points: 50000
Cultivation Technique: Lingbo Microsteps
Xiao Wu, My Xiao Wu!
Along with his cultivation, Lin Fan's dream of building a business empire had gradually gotten underway. The lottery, casinos, courier services, and other businesses that sprang up in Nuoding City quickly spread to the surrounding cities!
In five years, they had earned Lin Fan 500,000 Gold Soul Coins!
Naturally, plenty of people had envied his business and come looking for trouble. But in the small city of Nuoding, even Soul Elders were a rare sight, and Lin Fan's strength made him the undisputed ruler of the area!
After he dealt with trouble a few times, no one dared to compete with him again!
"Brother Lin Fan, what are you planning to do after graduation?!"
Night fell. In the school's little garden, Lin Fan and Xiao Wu sat on a bench in the pavilion. Xiao Wu naturally leaned her head against his shoulder and gazed up at the starry sky as she asked softly.
After five years, Xiao Wu had grown into a graceful young woman, like a fresh peach waiting to be picked!
She wore a little pink top that hugged her now-fuller chest, and her waist was so slender it seemed one hand could encircle it!
Her long, fair legs were the envy of countless women and drove men wild!
Her long scorpion braid fell past her slender waist and rounded, shapely backside, reaching all the way to her calves!
Xiao Wu's skin was smooth and delicate, and though her pretty face was untouched by makeup, she still looked exceptionally beautiful, with a hint of playful charm!
"Doesn't matter. Anywhere you are is fine by me!"
Lin Fan smiled and slipped an arm around Xiao Wu's soft waist. The wonderful feel of her body left him a little distracted!
He was no longer the little boy he'd once been. On Douluo Continent, anyone over twelve was considered an adult!
And children on Douluo Continent matured faster than those on Earth. Lin Fan was already a grown man now and could do some naughty things!
"Brother Lin Fan, can you... can you really stay with me for the rest of my life?!"
Xiao Wu looked up at Lin Fan, her gaze full of affection. Her big, watery eyes could melt anyone's heart!
"Of course!"
Lin Fan answered without hesitation.
"If... if one day a lot of people wanted to kill me, and they were all stronger than you, what would you do?!"
Xiao Wu looked conflicted, and even her voice trembled.
"Then they'll have to step over my corpse first!"
Lin Fan said each word slowly, his tone utterly resolute!
Beneath the bright moonlight, their eyes met. They drew closer and closer until their lips finally pressed together!
"Mmm!"
A soft, muffled sound escaped Xiao Wu's lips. Lin Fan could feel her heart racing like a startled fawn!
Lin Fan was nervous too. He kept replaying the kissing scenes from the romance movies he'd once watched in his mind. They embraced and explored, growing bolder with every moment!
"Lin Fan!"
Just as Lin Fan was getting into the moment, a voice suddenly interrupted him and Xiao Wu!
"Fuck! Which blind idiot ruined my good time?!"
Lin Fan reluctantly released Xiao Wu, turned around, and cursed.
A young man's figure appeared in the distance!
"Tang San? Good! I was just about to come looking for you. I didn't expect you to walk right into my hands!"
Lin Fan laughed in anger. Graduation was just around the corner, and he had to give Tang San a real beating!
"Heh, Lin Fan. Today, I'll repay you double for all the humiliation you've inflicted on me over the years!"
Tang San stared coldly at Lin Fan, his heart pounding with excitement!
For five years, he'd turned the humiliation Lin Fan had inflicted on him into motivation to cultivate, training day and night!
Today was the day he'd get his revenge!
"Come on, Tang San. Let's see the results of all that training."
Lin Fan sneered. He was going to crush Tang San and earn even more Villain Points!
Tang San said nothing. Soul Power surged through his body, and two yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet!
At the sight of the two Soul Rings beneath Tang San's feet, Lin Fan nearly burst out laughing!
So this was the so-called genius male lead of Douluo Continent? In five years, he'd only raised his Soul Power by a dozen or so levels!
"Tang San, you've disappointed me! Your Soul Power hasn't even reached level 30, and you dare challenge me? Tell me, have you been slacking off all these years instead of training properly?!"
Lin Fan folded his arms and stared at Tang San with a straight face, sounding like a man scolding a younger relative!
Pfft!
Tang San nearly spat out a mouthful of blood at his words!
He'd trained day and night for five years, thinking of nothing but revenge! Meanwhile, Lin Fan had spent every day eating, drinking, and having fun. And now this guy had the nerve to lecture him!
"Take this!"
Tang San couldn't be bothered to waste words with Lin Fan. He flicked his wrist, and Blue Silver Grass tendrils rapidly spread toward Lin Fan, his first Soul Skill activating!
Lin Fan looked completely relaxed. He didn't dodge or even summon his Martial Soul, letting the vines wrap him up tight!
"That's it?!"
A contemptuous smile tugged at Lin Fan's lips. Then he abruptly flexed both arms. With a series of sharp cracks, the seemingly tough Blue Silver Grass vines snapped into countless pieces and fell to the ground!
"How... how is that possible?!"
Tang San stared at Lin Fan, completely dumbfounded!
Even if his Blue Silver Grass couldn't trap Lin Fan, its toxin should have paralyzed him. But Lin Fan was completely unharmed!
Tang San had trained day and night all these years while Lin Fan had spent his time eating, drinking, and having fun. No matter how talented Lin Fan was, Tang San had thought he should have caught up by now!
But it seemed that wasn't the case!
Five years ago, Lin Fan could beat him without summoning his Martial Soul, and he still could now. Tang San found it impossible to believe!
"Tang San, you're too weak. Seems I haven't pushed you hard enough. Time to give you a little extra motivation!"
Seeing Tang San's bewildered expression, Lin Fan smiled faintly and flicked his right middle finger. A golden speck of light shot into the space between Tang San's brows!
"Brother, can you help me comb my hair..."
"If one day a lot of people wanted to kill me, and you couldn't beat them, what would you do?!"
"If they want to hurt you, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"
"Goodbye, my love!"
"No, Xiao Wu, don't sacrifice yourself! Ah!"
At that moment, scene after scene that seemed to be real flashed through Tang San's mind!
The golden speck of light was an Illusion Talisman Lin Fan had exchanged for in the system. It could vividly project fictional scenes into someone's mind!
Before he knew it, tears had soaked Tang San's cheeks!
"Xiao Wu and me... Th-this can't be real!"
Coming back to his senses, Tang San shook his head frantically. He was sure this was nothing more than Lin Fan's way of dealing with him!
But why did his heart hurt so much? It was as if the scenes in his mind had really happened to him!
"Heh, can't believe it? I'm telling you, it's all true!"
"I know you came from another world. So did I. And I came to Douluo Continent to take everything you have!"
Tang San walked slowly up to Lin Fan and whispered in his ear, enunciating each word!
Boom!
A bolt of thunder seemed to explode in Tang San's mind! Only he knew the secret of his origins—not even his closest family, his father, had been told!
But Lin Fan had exposed it with a single sentence. That meant Xiao Wu had originally been his!
"Lin Fan, you've made things difficult for me at every turn, and now you've stolen my Xiao Wu! You and I are mortal enemies!"
Tang San clenched his fists, his voice full of venom!
