Moreover, the Headmaster's Academy forbade students from fighting in private. Once found out, they would be expelled from the academy. Those who provoked trouble would be severely punished.
After realizing this, Long Tian stopped, but he was unwilling to give up.
Long Tian was the leader of the Dragon Son Gang, and the other princes all looked up to him. If he didn't teach Lin Fan a lesson for Long Yin and save some face, then he would lose all face and lose the right to speak.
At this time, Long Yin pointed at Lin Fan and said, "Lin, you have guts!
Do you dare to fight with me? Let's have a fair fight. "
Although the Headmaster's Academy forbade fighting in private, it was still okay for the disciples to fight in public.
A fair duel with the nature of sparring would not be subject to the academy's control and punishment.
The premise was that both parties were willing.
Moreover, if they signed a life and death contract, no one would say anything even if they were injured or killed.
"You princes only know how to compete with others. Furthermore, you like to gamble. Yet, you go back on your words and never fulfill your wager?" Seeing that the other party wanted to challenge him, Lin Fan laughed coldly.
"Lin, what do you mean by that?" Long Tian said angrily.
Lin Fan stretched out his hand to Long Yin and pointed at him. "This Long Yin still owes me 10,000 gold coins …"
Long Tian glared at Lin Fan and shouted angrily, "What gold coins do I owe you?
Only the royal family has the right to use gold coins. What are you, a lowly commoner, shouting here? "
"He promised that if he lost, he would crawl under his pants and give me 10,000 gold coins," Lin Fan said, pointing at Long Yin.
"He has only fulfilled one of his promises. He hasn't given me the 10,000 gold coins yet."
Long Tian pursed his lips and was speechless. He reluctantly took out all the gold coins in his Storage Ring and found that there were only 5,000 gold coins.
He turned to the other three princes and asked, "Who has gold coins? Take them out."
The prince who stopped Long Tian took out 5,000 gold coins from his Storage Ring and handed them to Long Tian.
Long Tian threw the 10,000 gold coins to Lin Fan.
"10,000 gold coins, here you go!"
Lin Fan stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers like a snake swallowing. Immediately, a suction force formed and sucked the 10,000 gold coins into his hand. The gold coins stacked together.
It was like a big gold nugget, sparkling under the sunlight.
It was dazzling.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Fan tossed ten thousand gold coins into Sumeru.
Long Yin stared at Lin Fan with a contemptuous smile and said, "Now, can we talk about the fight?"
Lin Fan sized up Long Tian.
He asked, "What is your rank among the princes? What is your name?"
Long Tian asked suspiciously, "Why do you ask?"
"Since you want to challenge me, I should at least know your background!"
"Remember it clearly. My name is Long Tian. I'm the second prince of the current dynasty," Long Tian said proudly.
"Long Tian, Second Prince, how do you want to compete?" Lin Fan raised his chin and asked.
"Of course it's a martial duel. Do you dare to sign a life and death contract?" Long Tian's lips curled into a cruel sneer.
"Why not?
… "
"Good.
Then let's bet our lives! "Long Tian said resolutely. Long Tian's expression changed as he looked at Lin Fan.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person. Deep, cruel, ferocious, and cold like a snake.
"You're at the True Element Boundary Third Stage, and I'm at the True Element Boundary First Stage. This duel is unfair," Lin Fan said.
"What do you want?
How about … I give you three moves?! "Long Tian said mockingly.
"No need … I need half a month to improve," Lin Fan said.
In fact, Lin Fan didn't need half a month. Even now, he could completely defeat Long Tian.
However, if they signed a life and death contract, Long Tian would die if he lost. He could make the princes kneel and crawl under his pants, but if he made the princes die, it would be a big deal.
That would be not giving face to the Emperor.
Therefore, he decided to wait for half a month. In half a month, this matter would definitely reach Huang Ce's ears. If Huang Ce didn't want things to get out of hand, he would definitely interfere and discipline Long Tian.
If Huang Ce didn't interfere, it would mean that he didn't care. When the time came, he would let Long Tian die to show mercy.
Long Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree!
We'll meet in the square in half a month.
I hope you won't go back on your word. "
Long Tian's face revealed a smug smile. Just like Long Yin, he thought that as long as Lin Fan agreed, he would definitely win.
"Also, not only do we have to bet our lives, we have to bet something else …" Lin Fan said. He knew that betting his life with the princes wouldn't benefit him at all. If he lost, he would definitely be beaten to death by Long Tian. If he killed Long Tian, he would offend Huang Ce. No matter if he won or lost, it wouldn't benefit him, so he had to bet something else.
"What do you want to bet?"
"Gold coins," Lin Fan said.
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
"One hundred thousand gold coins? You sure talk big!" Long Tian smiled playfully. "If he's dead, who am I going to ask for gold coins from?!"
"Don't worry. I'll bring all the gold coins before the battle," Lin Fan said. "Moreover, we don't know who's going to win yet."
"Do you have any gold coins?"
"I don't. No, I can use pills of the same value," Lin Fan said.
"Okay, no problem … A life and pills of the same value as one hundred thousand gold coins.
That's awesome! "
Long Tian sounded relaxed, but it was impossible for him to take out one hundred thousand gold coins. Even if he was given half a month, he wouldn't be able to raise it because one hundred thousand gold coins was his annual tribute. In other words, as a prince, he only received one hundred thousand gold coins annually.
"I hope you'll bring all the gold coins when you leave.
Don't go back on your word. "
"Don't worry!
Our royal family lacks many things, but we do not lack money. "Long Tian waved his hand and led his brothers out of Lin Fan's courtyard.
Looking at Long Tian's departing figure, Lin Fan gave a playful smile and then walked out. Not long after, he saw a group of people from the Imperial Palace escorting a eunuch as they walked through the square. Lin Fan thought that they must be here to issue an imperial edict to demote Long Yin.
Lin Fan turned back and went to the yard. He closed the door and began to meditate.
In half a month, he was going to fight Long Tian.
He was confident that he could win against Long Tian, but he was still worried about something.
What worried him was Long Tian's Way … the Way of Righteousness.
Long Tian entered the Headmaster's Academy much earlier than Lin Fan. Lin Fan thought that Long Tian must have begun to meditate long ago. As long as he was talented, he should have comprehended the Way of Righteousness.
If Lin Fan couldn't comprehend the Way of Bravery in half a month, then, compared to Long Tian, his overall strength would be weaker.
This could be seen from the power of Fang Qiu's "Way of Etiquette".
There was no doubt about this!
In order to defeat Long Tian, he had to comprehend the Way of Bravery in half a month.
Enlightenment was not much easier than cultivation, but it didn't need the help of elixirs and could be comprehended at any time, so it was relatively easy.
After a busy day, Lin Fan was a little tired. After meditating for a while, he was about to rest. Suddenly, he heard thunder outside and then a gust of wind. It seemed that it was going to rain.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. Well, why not take advantage of this stormy night to absorb some thunder and lightning to train his body and store electricity for his body?
Perhaps, such close contact with lightning would be helpful to his comprehension of the Way of Bravery!
With that thought in mind, Lin Fan leaped onto the roof.
He sat cross-legged on the roof.
In the dark sky, the wind was howling.
The wind swept away the clouds, the lightning wandered, and the thunder roared.
There was a bleak atmosphere between heaven and earth.
The wind blew the rain, wantonly drifting.
Under the rain.
Lin Fan sat quietly with his legs crossed.
He raised his hands above his head with his palms facing up.
It was as if he was holding up the sky.
He closed his eyes and breathed gently.
He chanted softly.
In the sky, layers of dark clouds piled up.
Blown by the wind, it was like a huge black millstone, rotating gently.
Gradually, a dark cloud vortex appeared in the center of the dark clouds.
In the depths of the vortex, there was lightning. Countless lightning bolts, like streams of water, gradually gathered into one.
Like a snake's tongue, crackling and exploding …
As Lin Fan's incantation became more and more urgent, the dark clouds in the sky became lower and lower, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
And the vortex in the depths of the dark clouds was also vaguely aimed at the mountain below. More accurately, it was aimed at Lin Fan who was sitting cross-legged on the mountain …
Suddenly …
The sky and earth suddenly brightened. A huge bolt of lightning.
Like a waterfall, it jumped down from the dark cloud vortex and split the sky.
It actually hit the earth and fell on the hands of Lin Fan who was sitting cross-legged on the roof.
The next moment …
Lin Fan's hair suddenly stood up.
Like steel wires, they stood upright. At the same time.
His tightly closed eyes also suddenly burst open.
His eyes bulged, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out. His whole body's clothes swelled like sails, and then exploded with a bang, turning into flying ash.
Breathe in … breathe in … breathe in …
He forcibly focused his mind, and methodically carried out the breathing exercises according to the incantation. He did not dare to be careless at all.
As the lightning entered, his whole body's muscles seemed to be crawling into countless worms, wriggling violently.
Under the vast power of heaven, the students of the Headmaster's School felt a strong sense of uneasiness and an inexplicable fear. The night was filled with a restless and restless atmosphere.
At this moment, in Lin Fan's mind, a bolt of lightning flashed. After this bolt of lightning flashed in Lin Fan's mind, it suddenly scattered, turning into fragments, and then gathered in one place, condensing into a word. That word flashed and became bigger, clearly it was the word "brave".
…
After about a minute, the sky returned to darkness, the earth returned to silence, and Lin Fan's violently wriggling body also calmed down.
Lin Fan put down his hands, still sitting cross-legged.
He let out a long breath.
At this time.
Lin Fan felt his whole body was full of fiery power, especially in his hands.
Strands of electric energy were running everywhere, giving him a desire to fight.
Standing up, he took a deep breath, gathered all his strength in his right hand, and slapped out in the void.
Crack!
With an explosive sound, a meter long bolt of lightning shot out from the palm of his hand, with great power.
This time, after refining the lightning, the power of the Thunderclap Palm had doubled.
For any cultivation method, the higher the level, the more difficult it was. But when you really reached it, you would find that its power would be doubled, and it would be very strong.
"Well, by the way, the word" brave "just now, is it my Way of Bravery?"
When Lin Fan's mind moved, the word "brave" in his mind flashed out, surging with great power. Lin Fan shouted, "Come out!"
Whoosh!
The word "Bravery" came out of his mind and appeared in front of Lin Fan. The palm-sized "Bravery" word flashed with a golden light and a soft sound came from it. It was like the sound of a Confucian poem, or a Daoist song, or a Buddhist chant. At the same time, it was filled with a surging power.
Staring at the word "bravery", he thought to himself, "Well, this is my" Way of Bravery ", but it doesn't look as big as Fang Qiu's" Etiquette ", and obviously not as powerful as his" Etiquette ".
However, I believe that as I continue to understand the Way of Bravery, it will be more powerful than Fang Qiu's Way of Etiquette. "
As he thought of this, his mind moved, and the golden "Bravery" character rushed toward a big tree. In the blink of an eye, it crashed into the middle of the tree. With a boom, the tree, which was as thick as two people hugging it, was broken in half and fell to the ground.
It made a huge bang.
Staring at the broken tree, Lin Fan murmured, "Well, it's so powerful!"
