Last time, at their Jin Family, out of consideration for the elders of the Pill Pavilion, his grandfather Jin Changfeng did not continue to pursue the matter of Jiang Fan's ability to World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body.

But not pursuing it last time doesn't mean the matter is over.

To be honest, Jiang Fan didn't want to deal with this guy, but it's better to make excuses sometimes to avoid future trouble.

Are you sure the " World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body " technique belongs to your Jin Family?

"Certainly!"

"But I heard that this cultivation technique was accidentally obtained by your ancestor, not created by your Jin Family ancestor."

Upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, Jin Kai was slightly taken aback, wondering how he knew.

Jiang Fan sneered and continued, "Your reaction is an admission."

"Hmph! That's right, this cultivation technique was indeed obtained by my ancestor by chance, but since it came into the possession of my Jin Family, it is now the Jin Family's World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body. And now that you've practiced this technique, you must have stolen it from my Jin Family!"

"That's hilarious! I'm really curious, is it possible for just anyone to steal your Jin Family's cultivation techniques? If a Second Rank- rank freshman like me could steal them, does that mean your Jin Family just hangs your cultivation techniques at the gate so anyone can get them?"

Jiang Fan's words left Jin Kai speechless and frustrated. Before he could think of a good excuse, Jiang Fan spoke again.

"Furthermore, I have been living in Fortress No. 31, and it was only a little over a month ago that I left by train and entered Fortress No. 1. With the abilities of your Jin Family, it wouldn't be difficult for you to find out."

I have already cultivated the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body to the first level. Do you think I only took less than two months to achieve this? I heard that it took Jin Yi a full five years to reach this level.

Or do you think my talent is so extraordinary that I could cultivate the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body to this level in just over a month? Surpassing all the genius disciples of your Jin Family for generations?

The more Jiang Fan spoke, the more frustrated Jin Kai became.

In fact, what Jiang Fan said was something the Jin Family had already investigated.

Just as Jiang Fan said, they investigated Jiang Fan records of entering and leaving Fortress No. 1. Apart from the time he entered a month ago when school started, he had indeed never entered Fortress No. 1 before.

Furthermore, the location where the Jin Family kept the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body Technique was extremely secretive, known only to a handful of people in the entire Jin Family. Moreover, the place where the technique was kept was protected by an extremely difficult-to-break restriction, which was impossible for Jiang Fan to break with his strength.

Let alone breaking through the restrictions, they'd probably have a hard time even breaking into the Jin Family.

As for believing that Jiang Fan cultivated the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body to the first level in just over a month, even if the entire Jin Family were beaten to death, no one would believe it.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you speechless?" Jiang Fan asked, feigning confidence.

Jin Kai took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then raised his voice.

"Tell me, how exactly do you possess the Jin Family's World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body?!"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow. "I already said, this cultivation technique was obtained by your Jin Family by chance. What, is it that only your Jin Family is allowed to obtain things by chance, but others are not allowed to do so?"

The scene changes.

Jin Changfeng frowned and stroked his beard.

"He really said that?"

Jin Kai nodded. "That's right, that's what he said."

After a brief silence, Jin Changfeng reached his final conclusion.

He probably wasn't lying.

"So, he really did obtain the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body by accident?"

"That should be it. I can't think of any other possibility. By the way, did you ask him where he got it from?"

"No, I'll ask him again tomorrow."

Jin Changfeng waved his hand, sat down, and picked up his teacup.

He won't tell.

"Then I'll have him come over, Grandpa. You can ask him yourself. I refuse to believe he'd dare not tell!"

Hearing his grandson say that, Jin Changfeng was so angry that he lost all interest in drinking tea.

"Are you an idiot? It hasn't been that long and you've already forgotten what happened last time? Don't you know Jiang Fan has Master Li backing him up?"

Jin Kai hadn't forgotten about it; he was just too angry to think straight.

"I just don't understand how Jiang Fan, a lowly nobody born in the slums, could win Master Li's favor."

"Perhaps it's because Jiang Fan's cooking just happens to suit Master Li's taste," Jin Changfeng guessed.

"What incredible luck!" Jin Kai said resentfully. "Grandpa, are we just going to let Jiang Fan go like this? He killed my cousin!"

"How could I possibly let the person who killed my grandson get away with this so easily!"

Jin Changfeng exuded a strong killing intent, "But now is not the time."

"When would be the right time?"

Jin Kai looked impatient, wishing he could kill Jiang Fan immediately.

"Da--Da--Da!"

Jin Changfeng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, his old eyes squinting.

After a long pause, a sinister smile crept onto his lips.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years.' Aren't you Yuanwu University's senior graduates going to the Outer Wilderness Zone? It's fraught with danger there. Even if I go, I can't guarantee I'll come back safely. If Jiang Fan dies there, and we can't even find his body, who will know how he died?"

"Grandpa is still the best!"

Jin Kai was incredibly impressed, "It's just that Jiang Fan got off easy, getting to live a few more years."

"No matter how vigorously a grasshopper hops around, it can't escape death in the end, so what does it matter?"

"Too."

The next day.

The entire Yuanwu was far more bustling than usual.

"Look, it's Shenwu's captain, Chao Yang! I heard he's already been selected by the Divine Wind Camp and will graduate next year. With his talent and strength, I believe that after he joins the Divine Wind Camp, it won't be long before he's promoted!"

Wow! I'm so envious. We're all human, so how come there's such a big difference?

Jiang Fan followed the crowd's gaze and immediately spotted the prodigy they were talking about.

The other person's appearance was not exactly handsome; he was more of a very average-looking person.

But standing in a crowd, they are quite conspicuous.

It's not about looks, but about that aura of sharpness, like a sword ready to be drawn at any moment, that makes it impossible to ignore.

" Jiang Fan, this competition uses a points system, with team and individual events. If you encounter him in the individual event, you can simply concede defeat," Su Xiaoyan reminded her from the side.

This made the fat man indignant. "I know him. He's only at the Early-Stage Fifth Rank. If he were to face him, my Brother Fan might not necessarily lose."

Su Xiaoyan, Zhao Zhidong, and the others were speechless. They thought to themselves, Jiang Fan indeed powerful, but he's only at the Early-Stage Second Rank. Where does he get the confidence to say he can beat Chao Yang, who is at the Early-Stage Fifth Rank?

Despite the complaints, we still need to say what needs to be said.

"This Chao Yang is no ordinary person. His father and uncles are both from the Divine Wind Camp, and both are Second-Class Divine Wind Guard. Do you know what Second-Class Divine Wind Guard mean?"
