"It seems we are the ones to make the first move!"
Bai Yetian smiled faintly and looked towards Lu Fan, "Brother Lu, are you ready?"
"I have been ready for a long time, but I still ask Senior Brother Bai to go easy on me."
Lu Fan said, "I may not be Senior Brother Bai's match."
In response to these words, Bai Yetian nodded and smiled, "Rest assured, we are all disciples of the North Sea Academy. Even if you lose, you won't be disgraced. Moreover, I don't have absolute confidence that I can defeat you."
"Senior Brother Bai is too modest."
Lu Fan smiled faintly, and at the same time, his figure suddenly stepped forward, entering the barrier. He knew very well that Bai Yetian's strength was immense, and defeating him would not be easy.
Upon entering the barrier, Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly and then made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Yetian did not mind. His figure instantly shifted, charging directly at Lu Fan. He wanted to test Lu Fan's strength. It would be unwise to reveal his full power now.
Seeing Bai Yetian charging towards him, Lu Fan retreated slightly and threw a punch, which carried the power of lightning. The advantage of the Profound Thunder was the amplification of power by lightning, making the attack more fierce.
Boom...
A loud collision sound echoed. Lu Fan was sent flying back, his lips twitching, and his arm felt numb. Only now did he truly experience Bai Yetian's strength. Such formidable talent was why he could become the leader of the White Sect.
Seeing Lu Fan at a disadvantage in the early stages, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect frowned. However, it was understandable. Bai Yetian was known as a top expert in the academy, and anyone who could defeat him would not be ordinary. Even someone as powerful as Lu Fan might not be able to defeat him.
"Brother Lu's strength is indeed formidable."
Bai Yetian cupped his fists, "No wonder you could enter the top three."
"Senior Brother Bai, you don't need to flatter me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, and at the same time, the spiritual energy around him surged, gathering towards the surroundings. In that instant, lightning crackled around Lu Fan, making him appear even more terrifying.
"What kind of technique is this? It's so strange!" Bai Yetian was slightly surprised. He had seen many techniques, but he had never encountered one as peculiar as this. If he guessed correctly, this technique was definitely not from the North Sea Academy.
"This technique is called the Profound Thunder Art!"
Lu Fan said, "It possesses unfathomable power. When the Profound Thunder Art is unleashed, it can strengthen the body, even granting it the ability of invincibility. Senior Brother Bai, you must be careful."
As Lu Fan finished speaking, he transformed into a gust of wind and charged towards Bai Yetian. He wanted to test how astonishing his physical strength had become after being enhanced by the Profound Thunder Art.
In that instant, Bai Yetian and Lu Fan collided. However, this time, Bai Yetian gained no advantage. Instead, he was sent flying back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, a look of disbelief on his face. Su Dan Novel Network
He had the feeling that hitting Lu Fan was like hitting steel; he couldn't injure Lu Fan at all.
"What kind of technique is this? It's so powerful!"
The Great Elder exclaimed, "This way, Bai Yetian will have a difficult time."
"Bai Yetian's true strength does not lie in his power."
The Third Elder said, "His greatest advantage lies in his footwork. His speed is extremely fast, even capable of moving unseen. If he unleashes it, even if Lu Fan has an indestructible body, he won't be able to harm him at all."
Bai Yetian seemed to get serious. He glanced at Lu Fan, and his figure instantly became elusive, creating several afterimages within the barrier.
Lu Fan was about to attack but couldn't pinpoint Bai Yetian's true form. In a flash, he took a palm strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Even though his physique was robust, he was caught off guard by such a sneak attack.
"Senior Brother Bai's Heavenly Soul Ghost Steps, this is his renowned technique from his early years!"
Many people exclaimed, their eyes sharpening, "It's enough to be proud of that Senior Brother Bai would use the Heavenly Soul Ghost Steps."
The conversations continued, and the crowd gasped, already aware of the Heavenly Soul Ghost Steps.
After taking the palm strike, Lu Fan immediately expanded his perception. He was a third-grade alchemist with extremely keen perception. Although he couldn't see Bai Yetian's form, he could sense his aura, which allowed him to strategize.
As expected, just as Bai Yetian was about to approach Lu Fan, lightning surged from Lu Fan's palm, and he instantly unleashed the Profound Thunder Palm.
Boom...
A deafening collision sound echoed. Bai Yetian was violently repelled, and lightning surged around him, causing him immense pain. He collapsed on the spot, unable to move even slightly.
This powerful lightning force was enough to make his entire body numb.
"How could this happen?"
Bai Long frowned. Bai Yetian was a veteran Spirit King. Under normal circumstances, he would likely have no equal in the entire academy. He never expected to be defeated by Lu Fan today.
"Senior Brother Bai, are you alright?"
Lu Fan asked. This was just the peak competition, and he didn't want anything to happen to Bai Yetian.
"Even if you wanted to kill me, you might not have the means."
Bai Yetian said with a wry smile, "But I know that after that exchange, I have lost, and lost completely!"
With that, Bai Yetian looked at Lu Fan again, "You are very outstanding, so outstanding that I envy you!"
After speaking, Bai Yetian turned and left, exiting the barrier directly.
The crowd watched this scene with disbelief. Bai Yetian of the White Sect had lost, which was like a fantasy. They had never imagined that Lu Fan could win this match.
"Lu Fan advances!"
The Great Elder's voice rang out. The duel just now was quite spectacular, and he understood it clearly. Bai Yetian was indeed no match for Lu Fan, but if the fight had dragged on, they might have ended in a draw.
However, Bai Yetian was very concerned about his reputation. If he couldn't defeat someone, he would admit defeat directly, because in his world, no one could be stronger than him.
After Bai Yetian left, Bi Yao looked at Lu Fan, "You are really not simple. When it's our turn, you'll have to go easy on your senior sister."
"Senior sister, you jest. No matter how strong I am, I might not be your match," Lu Fan said with a wry smile.
"You said the same thing to Bai Yetian just now. I think you're just talking nonsense here."
Bi Yao said, "This kind of pretending to be weak to defeat the strong is not a good thing."
Lu Fan was somewhat helpless and had no way to refute. However, Bi Yao's words were not wrong; he did seem to be playing the role of a weakling to defeat the strong.
"The next match will be between the two of you," the Great Elder announced. "The true final battle for the peak!"
