Leaving Wuyun Peak, Lu Fan and the others returned to the blessed land, appearing more excited than ever. Hu Yu and Hu Xian'er, in particular, had smiles filling their faces.
Lu Fan becoming the top of the Central Continent Ranking was a supreme honor for them.
"I really didn't expect you to be so strong, you even defeated Lin Wuya!" Hu Yu looked at Lu Fan, "You've truly made us see you in a new light!"
"Perhaps you underestimated me, which is why it turned out this way!" Lu Fan shrugged, "I've already reached the Saint King realm, so not many people can be my match. I could even contend with Elder Wu Ming!"
"It seems we are ultimately not on the same level!" The young master of the Tao family said with a wry smile, "I thought we were all similar, but now it seems we are not on the same plane at all. You will likely become even more outstanding in the future, and I won't be able to catch up!"
"You can't say that, it was just a stroke of luck for me," Lu Fan replied with a bitter smile.
"By becoming the top of the ranking, you can inherit the mysterious inheritance of the Central Continent Academy!" Ouyang Qingqing shot him a look, "This is an excellent opportunity, aren't you going to treat us to a few drinks?"
"Of course!" Lu Fan said heartily.
"The wine at the academy isn't very good. I know a place with excellent wine. Shall we go now?" Ouyang Qingqing said seriously, "It's a good chance to get some fresh air. I've been cooped up in the academy these past few days, and I'm feeling suffocated!"
"I was thinking the same thing!" Xu Kuo nodded slightly, his expression becoming more serious.
"Then let's go!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. It wasn't easy for him to become the top of the martial arts ranking, and it would be quite enjoyable to celebrate with drinks.
Following Ouyang Qingqing's lead, Lu Fan and the others soon left the Central Continent Academy and arrived in a city within the Central Continent. This city was filled with numerous restaurants, appearing dazzling and varied. The streets were bustling with traffic, unlike other cities.
"Why are there so many people in this city? And everyone seems to be extraordinary!" Hu Xian'er exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the border city between the human and beast races, and also the most prosperous region for trade!" Ouyang Qingqing explained, "That's why there are so many people here, all for the purpose of commerce, to exchange for various items from the beast race, and the beast race can also exchange for various items from the human race!"
"Beast race?" Hu Xian'er and the others were slightly taken aback. They suddenly recalled ancient texts that recorded countless powerful beings from the beast race in ancient times, who had suppressed the human race, leaving them no room to breathe. Fortunately, a peerless Great Emperor emerged from the human race later, which suppressed the beast race. Since then, the beast race and the human race have not interfered with each other. However, some sects and the beast race have not been harmonious, often engaging in disputes that caused considerable commotion. Sudan Novel Network.
Arriving at a well-known tavern, Lu Fan ordered good wine and food. Today was the day he won the top spot, so it was only fitting to celebrate properly. After a short wait, the food and wine were served, and Lu Fan and his companions began to drink and converse, feeling quite excited about winning the martial arts ranking today.
As they were drinking, a commotion suddenly erupted on the city streets. A man was being beaten by several other men, appearing to have no ability to fight back. The onlookers also dodged, fearing they would get into trouble.
"Damn it, you dare not give us the treasure we want? You're tired of living!" A man with a tiger-like head said coldly, exuding an arrogant aura. This person was clearly from the beast race. At the same time, his companions from the beast race also looked fierce and menacing, making the onlookers feel a sense of fear.
"This is my thing, why should I give it to you!" The man said angrily. Despite being beaten badly, he was very displeased.
"You dare to talk back!" With a cold glint in his eyes, the tiger-headed man delivered another kick, appearing merciless, as if the man before him was merely a plaything in his palm. Many people on the street watched, and some were indignant, but they only dared to express their anger silently.
Lu Fan, sitting in the pavilion, frowned upon seeing the human being bullied outside, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be human territory. Why are the beast race so rampant? They dare to beat people here?"
Following Lu Fan's words, many people in the tavern looked at him, shaking their heads. Lu Fan's statement was enough to show that he knew little about many things.
"Little brother, it's better to avoid trouble. Don't speak carelessly, or you might offend them and suffer the consequences!" With serious expressions, many men warned him, fearing that Lu Fan, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, would go and offend these people.
"They are just the beast race, why are you so afraid of them?" Hu Xian'er asked inexplicably, "Besides, this is our human territory."
"That may be so, but this is the border between the beast race and the human race, and there are many experts from the beast race here, but none from the human race!" The man shook his head, "Therefore, the beast race has always been quite rampant in the city, and no one dares to offend them!"
Following these words, everyone present was slightly stunned. They never expected things to turn out this way, making it somewhat unfathomable.
"This is too infuriating! The beast race is so rampant, and they don't even care about us!" Hu Yu said angrily, "Even with all of them combined, they are no match for me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yu suddenly stood up, intending to step outside.
Lu Fan was drinking wine, appearing indifferent. If Hu Yu really wanted to make a move, he would strongly support it, as these people were so arrogant and didn't treat humans as anything, making it unacceptable.
Meanwhile, the few beast race members were relentless, appearing aggressive and showing no mercy in their actions.
"You are too presumptuous! This is human territory, and you are beating people here. Have you considered the consequences?" Hu Yu's voice was cold, and his gaze fell upon the beast race members, carrying a killing intent. Hu Yu was very displeased with people like them.
"Oh, what wind is blowing? Someone dares to stand up for someone here?" The tiger-headed man's voice was cold. He turned to look at Hu Yu, and after a careful glance, he chuckled, "And a beautiful specimen! Quite attractive."
