"Stronger than me?" Yan was somewhat lost in thought upon hearing this. He glanced at Ye Fan a couple of times, then burst into laughter.
This was the biggest joke he'd ever heard.
A mere Soul Venerable, how could he compare to a dignified level 52 Soul King like himself?
How many people in the world could reach the Soul King realm in their early twenties!
As a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, he held himself in extremely high regard.
Ye Fan gave him a cold look, then ignored him.
The top few on the Douluo Dare-to-Slap List, even after breaking through to Soul Saint ten years later, were still simps whom Hu Liena hadn't even given a second glance. They weren't worth his attention.
In terms of talent, he was the worst of the three.
Yan took a few steps closer, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "How about we switch dorms? With me as your boss, no one in the entire Spirit Academy will dare to mess with you!"
Although his background was ordinary, his talent was outstanding, and he was valued by the Spirit Hall. He was considered a figure in the Spirit Academy, and apart from Hu Liena, who would dare to disrespect him?
Ye Fan considered it for a moment; switching dorms might be a good idea. Just
as he was about to agree, Hu Liena immediately pushed Yan aside, shielding him, and angrily said, "You deadbeat! Why are you so close to him?"
Yan was dumbfounded. What are you jealous of? What did I do?
He asked, puzzled, "I'm a man, do you think I'd be lusting after his body?"
Hu Liena angrily said, "Otherwise what? I hate men like you the most! Disgusting!"
Deeply hurt, Yan wiped away his tears, bypassed her, grabbed Ye Fan by the collar, and challenged him to a duel: "If you're a man, fight me! Don't hide behind a woman!"
Xie Yue covered her mouth and hid far away, thinking: This is going to be good.
Hu Liena didn't object; after all, Yan was no match for Ye Fan.
Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Ye Fan simply said coldly, "You damn man, stay away from me!"
Yan was completely enraged. Five spirit rings appeared, yellow, purple, and black, radiating an astonishing aura.
He looked puzzled. Who gave you such confidence?
Did you think a Spirit King was strong? An ordinary person could easily shoot you dead with a gun.
If you were on Blue Star, you'd be riddled with bullets for being so arrogant.
He slapped away Yan's dirty hand with disgust.
Yan was somewhat shocked; this kid was quite strong!
But in a battle between spirit masters, strength alone wasn't enough!
He roared, "First Spirit Skill! Hellfire Lava..."
"Slap."
Before Yan could finish reciting the name of his spirit skill, a slap landed hard on his face, making a startling sound.
The immense force sent him flying dozens of feet!
A purplish-red handprint instantly appeared on his face, rapidly swelling.
Ye Fan, looking as if he'd just expelled something dirty, dusted off his hands and asked, "Have you had enough?"
Yan looked incredulous. Had he already used his soul skill?
He was an offensive soul master; his defense wasn't great, but he shouldn't have been so easily knocked away.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and said seriously, "I underestimated you just now. You actually tried to sneak up on me. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Losing again would be incredibly embarrassing, especially in front of Hu Liena.
He activated his fifth soul skill, using all his strength, and roared, "Fifth Soul Skill! Flying Sand Raging Flames!"
A blazing inferno accompanied by countless grains of sand rushed towards them!
The range was enormous, making it difficult to dodge.
Xie Yue's eyes widened. This kid Yan was actually serious!
He looked at Hu Liena beside Ye Fan. Hu Liena would also suffer if this happened!
But Hu Liena remained unmoved, completely unconcerned, looking lost in thought.
What clothes should I wear for a night raid tonight?
Ye Fan slowly raised his hand and swung it forcefully, unleashing a hurricane that blew all the attacks back!
Yan was completely dumbfounded, unable to react in time. The attacks all struck his face, and if it weren't for his resistance to fire, he would have perished on the spot.
Even so, he suffered considerable injuries.
"How could this be!?" Yan knelt on one knee, looking at his injured arms, and looked up at Ye Fan in despair.
Why? He was just a Soul Venerable! Before, he was just a gatekeeper!
I actually lost!
Xie Yue was also very surprised. Yan was not weak, yet he was so thoroughly crushed.

Even if the entire Golden Generation attacked together, they probably wouldn't be a match for Ye Fan.
This kid is terrifying!
It just so happens that Nana has a crush on him; maybe sending him out to cultivate a relationship?
Hu Liena: You're such a good brother!
At this moment, a figure appeared. Xie Yue knelt down and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yan also bowed his head and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Hu Liena snorted disdainfully. Unlike the others, she was Bibi Dong's person; besides Bibi Dong, no one was worthy of her kneeling to pay her respects.
Ye Fan looked at him unhappily and questioned, "So slow? I feel like I'm not even as fast as you. Are you really a Title Douluo?"
Yue Guan's face darkened. Damn, this is already full speed, okay?
Would you die if you didn't brag?
He handed him a large box of medicinal herbs unhappily, complaining, "Don't forget my kindness, kid."
"Tch, it's not like I begged you."
Ye Fan glanced at the herbs inside, checked them repeatedly, and nodded. There were no problems.
But strangely…
"Where's the alchemy cauldron? Couldn't you have prepared it all along?" He was very dissatisfied. How could he refine medicine without an alchemy cauldron?
Yue Guan was so angry he almost vomited blood. Ye Fan just liked herbs, not alchemy! Where would he get a cauldron?!
Ye Fan sighed and then tried to create a cauldron using his soul power. It
was barely usable, but his soul power was too low, and the efficiency was poor.
He said disdainfully, "Alright, I know, I don't need you for now. Don't bother me."
Hearing this, Yue Guan was furious. Ordering me around? Do you think you're Bibi Dong? Treating me like a beast of burden!
But he dared not speak his anger and could only keep it to himself.
Behind him, Yan and Xie Yue stared wide-eyed.
This was a Title Douluo! And not just any Title Douluo!
He was Pope Bibi Dong's right-hand man!
Weren't you afraid of getting beaten up for being so arrogant?
Xie Yue asked curiously, "Your Holiness, who exactly is he?" Yue
Guan said impatiently, "Your Holiness's second disciple, Ye Fan."
Hearing this, the two were even more bewildered.
The Pope had taken on another disciple? And a man at that!
Ye Fan sighed and said to Hu Liena, "Take me to the dormitory to rest. I didn't sleep a wink last night."
Didn't sleep a wink?
Yan couldn't believe it. What had he done?
Xie Yue also felt like his CPU was about to explode; there was just too much information.
Hu Liena nodded, blushing, and took his hand, leading him into the girls' dormitory under everyone's gaze.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Ye Fan found he was the only one living in the room.
It had a private bathroom and was quite nice overall—small but complete.
Ye Fan didn't have any luggage and immediately began refining pills after sitting on the bed.
More than ten hours passed.
A perfectly round pill appeared in his hand. Feeling incredibly tired, Ye Fan swallowed it in one gulp, feeling much more refreshed.
"Ding! Host has consumed a Body Tempering Pill! Physique increased! Strength Dao gained 100 experience points!"
Strength Dao lv1 (100/1000)
showed a significant improvement, but Ye Fan was exhausted; refining pills was too tiring.
As for weapon crafting and talisman making, he'd deal with that later.
"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep now."
He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. (End of Chapter
