This scene was extremely familiar to Jiang Fan. Before his brain could react, his body had already taken action.

He even subconsciously used a modified version of the Phantom Gale Leg.

As if anticipating his prediction, the other person was already in his arms the instant he dodged and landed.

"Smack!"

An incredibly strong hug.

Just like in the Zhou Family Secret Realm, Jiang Fan reflexively raised his hands above his head.

In that instant, the previously noisy arena suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Fan and Wang Yao, their eyes filled with gossip.

"Ah------" The fat man's mouth opened wide, so wide that he could almost fit his hand, which was the size of a boxing glove, into his mouth.

The sight of one's own ancestor embracing one's own best brother is undeniably powerful.

Ye Qizhen looked on with admiration and couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of Jiang Fan, not only is his talent monstrous and his strength abnormal, but he even managed to win over such a beautiful woman. He's truly a role model among men. Shengxue, don't you think?"

As I was talking, I turned my head and was met with—an iceberg.

At the same time, it also made him feel a strange sense of danger.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the girl's already cold voice slowly emerge from her lips like an icy arrow.

"Yeah?"

Just those two words made Ye Qizhen's hair stand on end, and goosebumps rose and fell.

My feet reflexively moved to the side, then moved again, and kept moving.

It took Jiang Fan several seconds to recover from his mental lapse.

"Hey, what's gotten into you all of a sudden? Let go of me!"

"I don't!"

As Wang Yao spoke, she hugged him even tighter.

Jiang Fan felt like his ribs were about to break from the tightness.

How can this Crazy Woman be so strong?

His physical attributes were already superior to those of Martial Artist of the same level, and after practicing the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body, his physical strength became even more terrifying.

But because of this Crazy Woman's hug, he found himself struggling to breathe.

He could even hear the groans coming from his own ribs.

"You--"

Jiang Fan had barely finished speaking when he saw Wang Yao suddenly raise her head and reveal her face.

His eyes were red and swirling with tears.

That intense, almost overwhelming longing deeply moved him.

"I've finally found you..."

One sentence instantly brought Jiang Fan to his senses, his eyes filled with indifference and alienation.

"I said, can you let go now?"

"I'll let go, but you have to be honest with me!"

Wang Yao pouted her little mouth, her voice sweet and delicate, which sent chills down Jiang Fan's spine.

"Confess what?"

"Of course I admit it, you are him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat, and in less than a second, a series of guesses popped into his head.

What did she mean by that? Did she discover that I was the Advanced Psychic in the Zhou Family Secret Realm? That's impossible. I hadn't given myself away before, and she had never shown any sign of suspicion.

Did the fat guy tell her that?

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan glanced at the fat man beside him without showing any emotion. Seeing the extremely shocked look on his face, he immediately dismissed the idea that had just crossed his mind.

If it wasn't the fat guy who said it, then how did she know?

Or was she bluffing?

"What are you talking about? Admitting it's him? And who is he?" Jiang Fan played the role of a complete idiot perfectly.

Wang Yao continued to tilt her head back, staring intently at Jiang Fan with her slightly curved eyes, trying to glean any clue from his gaze.

But Jiang Fan's eyes were too calm, so calm that there wasn't the slightest fluctuation.

Two seconds later, Wang Yao suddenly stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Jiang Fan's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You're the Advanced Psychic from the Zhou Family Secret Realm, am I right?"

Jiang Fan's pupils suddenly contracted, but he quickly regained his composure.

His face showed no flaws, but his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

Sure enough! She found out.

Trying to calm himself down, Jiang Fan said in an extremely ordinary tone, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, one thing I'm sure of is that you've mistaken me for someone else."

Wang Yao slightly raised her eyes and stared at Jiang Fan's profile.

He said, word by word, "I don't believe it."

Jiang Fan didn't look at her intentionally, but he could still feel the burning gaze of the woman in his arms.

"Say what you will, just let go first."

"Why are you being so stingy? Can't you let me hug you a little longer?"

You were once incredibly powerful; getting close to you was harder than climbing to heaven.

If we don't get closer to you now before you grow up, we won't have many more opportunities later.

Or, why not just take him all and leave him? Wouldn't that be a one-step solution?

Wang Yao thought to herself.

As if sensing something in the darkness, Jiang Fan shivered inexplicably. The next second, he lowered his hand that had been raised above his head, grabbed Wang Yao by the back of her collar, and pulled her outward with all his might.

"Let go!"

"No." Wang Yao continued to exert force.

"Click click click--"

That was the groan coming from the ribs.

Jiang Fan's face turned purple; he felt as if his soul was being squeezed out.

"Let go! Let go! Let go of me!"

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Fan cast a pleading look at the fat man, "Quick, pull your cousin away."

The fat man was stunned, clearly still not having recovered.

Uh... they're completely unreliable in crucial moments.

Jiang Fan glanced around, and when he saw Ye Qizhen, his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Qizhen waving her hands incessantly.

He continued to turn his gaze and saw Lan Shengxue, his eyes lighting up again.

Lan Shengxue uttered a single word without expression. "Heh."

Then he turned and left without looking back.

Jiang Fan???

Did he do anything to her?

Wang Yao squinted, staring at Lan Shengxue's departing figure for a long while before turning her gaze back to Jiang Fan.

"You like her?"

Jiang Fan couldn't be bothered with this Crazy Woman.

"It's none of your business."

"That's what liking someone means," Wang Yao said to herself.

Jiang Fan "..."

Seemingly sensing Jiang Fan's impatience, Wang Yao wisely withdrew from his embrace.

I'll find out your weaknesses.

They finally let go.

Jiang Fan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Lan Shengxue had only taken a few steps away from the competition venue when she was stopped by Lan Mingxi, who had somehow come down from the stands.

"Grandfather?"

Lan Mingxi glanced at the passage behind Lan Shengxue, as if she were looking at something.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here? Did you come all this way to see me?"

Lan Mingxi's expression was grave. " Little Shengxue, tell me honestly, did you teach him the Phantom Gale Leg?"

"What?" Lan Shengxue was taken aback at first, but she quickly understood what was going on.

"I used to suspect that he was using my Lan Family's Phantom Gale Leg, but upon closer inspection, there are actually some differences."

"You really didn't teach him?"

The solemnity on Lan Mingxi's face at this moment was something Lan Shengxue had rarely seen before.

At least her grandfather almost never acted like this in front of her.

Of course, she was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Didn't I just say that the martial arts technique Jiang Fan used, while seemingly similar, still has some differences?"
