"I only know a little!" Lu Fan chuckled, "With this, your future cultivation will be faster than others. It won't be long before the Qingyun Sect can establish a foothold in Beihai Academy."
Following his words, everyone nodded, their faces lighting up with joy. They now had a singular thought: following Lu Fan would bring them nothing but endless benefits.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Black Shark Gang was fully prepared, exuding an aggressive aura and hostile expressions. They were setting out once more, showing no mercy.
Not long after, the members of the Black Shark Gang arrived outside the courtyard. The leader of the Black Shark Gang wore a cold expression. He wanted to see who the leader of the Qingyun Sect was, daring to make a move against their Black Shark Gang.
Sensing the aura from outside, Lu Fan and a few others walked out. Upon seeing Zhao Wei nearby, their expressions turned unfriendly.
"Oh, isn't this the Black Shark Gang?"
Lu Fan chuckled, "After being taught a lesson last time, aren't you still not satisfied? Do you want to deliver yourselves to our doorstep?"
Zhao Wei's expression was dazed as he retreated backward, a hint of embarrassment on his face. Lu Fan had struck a nerve. He had been severely beaten by Lu Fan last time and had harbored resentment ever since, but he had never found a way to retaliate.
"You brat, don't get too smug!"
Zhao Wei said coldly, "Let me tell you the truth! The Black Shark Gang is here today to demand an explanation. If you willingly surrender, the Gang Leader can take you in. Otherwise, we'll make you pay."
"It's the same words as before. You'll still be the ones getting beaten!" Chu Ting said with a light laugh. "Isn't that rather comical?"
In response to Chu Ting's words, the expressions of everyone present shifted, especially Zhao Wei, whose face turned extremely grim. He had never imagined that Lu Fan and the others would still be so arrogant, not taking them seriously at all.
"You're so brazen right after arriving at the academy. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
With a cold smile, the leader of the Black Shark Gang asked, "Actually, I'm very curious. Who gave you the courage?"
"It's naturally our Sect Master!" Chu Ting said softly. "My Sect Master is no ordinary person. Your provocation today will likely lead to you being defeated by my Sect Master again, and your Black Shark Gang will cease to exist!"
Many people within Beihai Academy watched with astonishment. They hadn't expected the new students to be so audacious.
"The students in this batch are truly formidable. Not only do they attack the seniors, but they do so with such ferocity."
"You probably don't know, but the day before yesterday, Zhao Wei of the Black Shark Gang was beaten black and blue. He's dirt poor. These new students are not to be trifled with!"
"That's true. I was there that day too. These new students are indeed not to be underestimated!"
Conversations continued, and people spoke out, their words carrying a sense of seriousness.
Following these remarks, others nodded in agreement, finding them quite accurate.
At this moment, the leader of the Black Shark Gang said no more and looked directly at Lu Fan. "I haven't come here today to make enemies. If you can defeat me, my Black Shark Gang will be at your disposal. But if you cannot defeat me today, then there are only two options: the first is to surrender to the Black Shark Gang and become one of us, and the second is to get out of the academy."

"Then rest assured, I won't need to make a choice." Lu Fan said with a faint smile, looking down on everything.
The leader of the Black Shark Gang's expression turned cold. He stomped forward, his body filled with immense rage. He absolutely would not allow a new student to act so presumptuously towards him.
In that instant, the aura around the leader of the Black Shark Gang surged. He struck at Lu Fan with a palm strike, his demeanor arrogant. He was confident that this single palm strike would be enough to deal with Lu Fan.
Boom...
But in that very moment, a deafening roar erupted. The two palm forces collided, unleashing an incomparable momentum. The leader of the Black Shark Gang's expression changed drastically. He was forced back three steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Gang Leader!"
His followers shouted in shock, not understanding what had happened. Even the leader of the Black Shark Gang, when personally taking action, could not suppress Lu Fan.
"How is this possible? How can you be so strong!" The leader of the Black Shark Gang stared at Lu Fan, his anger palpable.
"Nothing is impossible. New students are no worse than anyone else."
Lu Fan said coldly, "Don't judge people by their appearance!"
"I lost!"
The leader of the Black Shark Gang's face was grim, but he had to admit it. He knew very well that he was no match for Lu Fan. The palm strike just now was enough to prove it.
"Since we made a promise, let's adhere to it. From now on, the Black Shark Gang will merge under my Qingyun Sect!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "I don't want to hear the name Black Shark Gang ever again."
The leader of the Black Shark Gang nodded slightly and quickly bowed, saying, "Your subordinate greets the Sect Master."
The other members of the Black Shark Gang stood frozen, speechless. They were taken aback by their leader's directness.
"Gang Leader, are we just admitting defeat like this?" Zhao Wei asked with displeasure. He had been severely beaten by Lu Fan.
"If you're unwilling to fight!" The leader of the Black Shark Gang smiled. "I'm powerless to turn the tide, so I can only surrender!"
Zhao Wei's face twitched. If he were to fight, wouldn't that be seeking his own death? Even the leader of the Black Shark Gang was no match for Lu Fan, so what was he?
Helplessly, Zhao Wei and the others also knelt down, saying, "We greet the Sect Master."
"Are you sincerely surrendering?" Lu Fan asked again. "If not, you can leave now, and I won't make things difficult for you. But if you choose to join the Qingyun Sect, you must abide by its rules. If anyone dares to violate them, I will not show leniency."
"Since we have chosen to join the Qingyun Sect, we will never betray it!"
The leader of the Black Shark Gang clasped his hands and said, "Your strength is superior to mine, and you were able to defeat me. I am quite convinced by joining the Qingyun Sect!"
"We are willing to join the Qingyun Sect!" The disciples of the Black Shark Gang spoke out one after another. Finding a stronger backing, they naturally would not shrink back.
Zhao Wei also braced himself, even worrying if Lu Fan would target him in the future since they had been at odds. However, he later felt he was overthinking. How could Lu Fan possibly pay attention to him?
"Since that is the case, from now on, you are all people of my Qingyun Sect!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
Chu Ting and the others stood stunned, unsure how to speak. They had not expected Lu Fan to be so powerful, directly absorbing the Black Shark Gang into their fold, and effortlessly at that. It was astonishing.
"It seems our Qingyun Sect has grown stronger again!" Long Yi laughed heartily. "It won't be long before the Qingyun Sect makes a name for itself in Beihai Academy, perhaps even becoming the foremost sect in Beihai Academy!"
