Not long after, Xu Tianming appeared in the reception hall.
Upon seeing Su Fan and Dongfang Tingyin, Xu Tianming was first stunned, then glared at Su Fan with a furious expression.
"You dare to come to my house again!"
Xu Tianming was utterly enraged. Su Fan seducing his fiancée was one thing, but to come to his house and provoke him was simply unbearable!
"Tianming, you know him?" Xu Pengcheng initially thought Su Fan was just Dongfang Tingyin's gigolo, someone not worth mentioning. He hadn't expected his son to know him.
"I'd recognize him even if he turned to ash!"
Xu Tianming gritted his teeth and said.
This was the first time in his life he had been bested by an unknown nobody, and he was unwilling to accept it. He had to get revenge!
"Young Master Xu, do we have such a deep hatred?"
Su Fan said speechlessly.
The feud between him and Xu Tianming was nothing more than a fight during the selection competition, where Su Fan had punched him off a cliff.
"Tianming, since you're back, you decide. They are here to break off the engagement today. What are your thoughts?" Xu Pengcheng decided to hand over the decision-making power to his son, letting him decide whether to agree to the annulment.
"Break the engagement? Impossible!"
Xu Tianming naturally refused. He hadn't even touched Dongfang Tingyin's hand, and it was over just like that? He was not resigned.
"Are you sure? The lifeline of your company is in my hands right now," Dongfang Tingyin said coldly.
Xu Tianming looked at his father in confusion. After receiving a confirming nod from his father, he finally believed it.
"That still won't do. Just break off the engagement like that? What do you take our Xu family for?" Unexpectedly, Xu Tianming still disagreed.
"What do you want? Even if the engagement isn't broken, I won't marry you," Dongfang Tingyin frowned slightly. It was going so well, and Xu Tianming's appearance had suddenly disrupted her plan.
"If you want to break the engagement, you can, unless..." Xu Tianming pointed at Su Fan.
"You want him to stay too?" Dongfang Tingyin looked at Xu Tianming with a strange expression.
What was going on with these two father and son? They both wanted Su Fan to stay. Was Su Fan that charming to men?
"I want to fight him again!" Xu Tianming was simply unconvinced by Su Fan and wanted to defeat him again to regain his dignity.
"If he wins, you can leave, and I won't mention the marriage again. If he loses, not only will you marry me, but I will also make him crawl out of the Xu family on his knees!" Xu Tianming not only wanted revenge but also to humiliate them.
Dongfang Tingyin immediately frowned and looked at Su Fan. This was her matter; she couldn't drag Su Fan into it.
"No!" Dongfang Tingyin immediately refused, absolutely unwilling to risk Su Fan.
"I agree," Su Fan actually agreed.
"Su Fan, you!" Dongfang Tingyin looked at Su Fan in surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong," Su Fan gave Dongfang Tingyin a reassuring look.
"Su Fan, you don't have to risk yourself for me," Dongfang Tingyin said to Su Fan sternly.
She didn't want Su Fan to take risks for her. Given Xu Tianming's strength, it would be truly difficult for Su Fan to win.
"Don't worry, your Brother Fan's strength will definitely open your eyes," Su Fan said with great confidence.
Dongfang Tingyin still wanted to dissuade him, but Su Fan's confident smile gave her a sense of reassurance. Perhaps Su Fan really could?
"Alright, let's go to the backyard!" Seeing Su Fan agree, Xu Tianming revealed a triumphant smile.
The Xu family's backyard had a training ground, just like the Dongfang family. After all, they were ancient martial arts families, and a training ground was essential.
At this moment, many Xu family disciples were practicing in the training ground. The arrival of Xu Pengcheng and Xu Tianming immediately made them stop their movements.
"Patriarch, Young Master."
"You can stop for now. Tianming needs to use the training ground," Xu Pengcheng said to the instructor.
The instructor nodded and dismissed the trainees on the spot.
"Su Fan, losing to you last time was a complete accident. You won't be so lucky today!"
Xu Tianming had long wanted to get revenge on Su Fan. However, he had promised Young Master Long not to cause trouble during the selection competition, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so polite at the top of Mount Taiping.
"Then I'm quite looking forward to it. Do you remember this move?"
Su Fan beckoned, and dense fog instantly filled the entire area, engulfing Xu Tianming as well.
"Hmph!"
Xu Tianming snorted coldly.
"This move is useless against me now."
Xu Tianming had suffered because of Su Fan's fog-generating ability. He had naturally learned countermeasures afterward.
"To break your ability, I specifically learned the Heart's Eye. Although I've only just begun, it's enough to deal with you!"
To deal with Su Fan, Xu Tianming had specifically asked Young Master Long to teach him a sensory technique, the Heart's Eye. Once mastered, he could sense every blade of grass and every tree around him even with his eyes closed, making it extremely powerful.
No matter from which direction Su Fan attacked Xu Tianming, Xu Tianming could easily detect Su Fan's position and block him with ease.
Su Fan knew that Xu Tianming was not lying; he had indeed found a way to counter the fog-generating ability.
Su Fan simply dispelled the dense fog.
With a wave of his hand, the dense fog vanished.
Xu Tianming immediately sneered.
In his opinion, besides the fog-generating ability, Su Fan's true strength was inferior to his. The reason he was knocked off the cliff last time was purely due to the advantage of his ability. Now that his ability was useless, let's see what other tricks he had!
"Ice Palm!"
Xu Tianming sneered and attacked Su Fan with his renowned technique, the Ice Palm.
Flames erupted from Su Fan's hand as he met the attack.
The same thing happened. The flames and the cold air merged, producing a large amount of steam at the point of contact. However, this time, neither of them retreated, as if competing. Su Fan's fist and Xu Tianming's palm made contact.
Their arms turned red from the heat of the steam, but neither of them uttered a sound, enduring the pain.
Xu Tianming felt a surge of immense force, which startled him.
Before he could finish his surprise, another surge of power came from Su Fan's fist, directly forcing him to retreat several steps.
"What kind of move is this?" Xu Tianming looked at Su Fan in astonishment. This was the first time he had encountered someone who could use dual force.
At this moment, both of their arms were burned by the steam. Xu Tianming's arm was red, with signs of blistering.
Su Fan's arm quickly returned to its original state, showing no signs of being scalded.
"You want to learn? I won't teach you," Su Fan said with a sneer.
Xu Tianming's expression darkened.
"You ungrateful wretch!"
"Die!"
With a roar from Xu Tianming, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped by several degrees. Frost spread outwards from Xu Tianming as the center, turning the ground into an ice surface.
Xu Pengcheng, who was watching from the side, immediately laughed.
"Thousand Miles of Ice, a martial skill my son Tianming has never lost to. Once this move is unleashed, the opponent will surely turn into an ice sculpture." Xu Pengcheng was full of confidence, already marking Su Fan for death in his heart.
Su Fan frowned.
The change in the scene was not just the ground, but also Xu Tianming!
