Add Fuel to the Fire

Chen Fan had actually contacted quite a few Sword Sect true disciples through Yu Jin, hoping to spar with them in private, but barely any of them had paid him any mind.

And among the few who had agreed, they had clearly held back during their sparring matches...

That was what left Chen Fan most speechless.

Rong Yixian was different. His personality was straightforward, and he was powerful.

Setting aside actual combat sparring, even merely observing his swordsmanship would likely bring Chen Fan considerable improvement.

Just like when he had observed Wei Dong, Rong Ziqi, and others fighting!

After bidding Yu Jin farewell, he immediately headed for Rong Yixian's cave dwelling.

He and Rong Yixian could not be considered particularly close, but the latter had once said that his cave dwelling would always be open to Chen Fan. He could not waste that connection.

The awkward part was that when he arrived at Rong Yixian's cave dwelling, Rong Yixian's attendants did indeed politely invite him inside—but Rong Yixian himself was in secluded cultivation. According to them, he was unlikely to emerge before the year's end...

After returning, Chen Fan had already used up all three of his challenges for the month...

By now, he had climbed into the top one hundred and fifty true disciples of the Sword Sect!

Although he had left for nearly two months in the middle of it all, he had still won nine consecutive rounds. Someone actually dared to take the initiative
