Chapter 772, Just Stole One Fan From You

Translator: Silavin

 

Upon hearing these words, everyone was left with minds full of question marks.

 

[Jin Zhan finds you disagreeable and wants to beat you up?! But doesn’t want to waste energy, so he’s suggesting a competition on who kills more instead!? What sort of nonsense is this!?]

 

Everyone felt that while they could understand each word Lu Fan spoke, they could not comprehend its meaning at all.

 

After all, they did not know about the grievances between Dragon Country’s Spark and Jin Zhan, so it was perfectly normal that they could not understand why Jin Zhan wanted to ‘beat’ Lu Fan.

 

In any case, they still grasped the gist of Lu Fan’s words. In short, he wanted to go farm Monsters with Jin Zhan and temporarily could not stay here to protect them, so he was asking whether they wanted to remain here or return to the outpost.

 

After discussing amongst themselves, Qin Qiu and the others ultimately decided to stay.

 

Although it was dangerous here, the number of Monsters was far greater than at the outpost.

 

Considering Levelling Speed, this place was indeed superior.

 

Moreover, with so many of Lu Fan’s Fallen Corpse Puppets protecting them, the outpost might not actually be safer than here.

 

Seeing that Qin Qiu and the others preferred to remain here, Lu Fan did not try to stop them. After all, judging by the current Monster Levels in this area, there truly was not much danger if they stayed.

 

However, as a precaution, he still left behind a Transport Array leading to Shadow Isle.

 

If there really were enemies that even the Fallen Corpse Puppets could not handle, they could use this Transport Array to return to Shadow Isle.

 

As for the Fallen Corpse Puppets also coming to Shadow Isle through this Transport Array, that did not matter.

 

Jokes aside, Shadow Isle had four Eternal Phase Giant Dragons watching over it. If the Fallen Corpse Puppets arrive, they would have no other fate than true death.

 

Never mind them. Even if the Blood Moon’s Owner arrived at Shadow Isle, it probably would not end well for it.

 

Even if the Blood Moon’s Owner could defeat the four Giant Dragons, it would pay a devastating price.

 

Having left such an escape route that allowed everyone to leave at any time, Lu Fan was now at ease.

 

Thus, he prepared to depart and head to the cavern coordinates with Jin Zhan for a proper Monster farming spree.

 

Before leaving, after thinking for a moment, he cheerfully said to Zhao Shengming. “Vice Principal Zhao, you really don’t need to worship Jin Zhan so much while belittling yourself. To be honest, whether in strength or status, I’m no less than him now. And I’m your student, with you being my teacher.”

 

“Jin Zhan just won’t accept me, which is why he wants to compete with me. And in today’s wager, I’m definitely going to win. So, if you can cultivate such an excellent student as myself, doesn’t that make you stronger than Jin Zhan? If we’re truly talking about worship, it should be Jin Zhan worshipping you instead.”

 

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shengming was visibly stunned.

 

However, he immediately realised that these words were both Lu Fan joking with him and indirectly praising him.

 

In any case, Lu Fan’s intentions were genuinely good.

 

Zhao Shengming then smiled, patting Lu Fan’s shoulder. “Good, good. Having a student like you, I should indeed be proud. You’re right. From now on, Jin Zhan will no longer be the young man I admire. The young man I admire most will you, Lu Fan!”

 

“Haha!” Lu Fan laughed heartily. “Then it’s settled.”

 

“Right then, Vice Principal Zhao, I’ll be off with Jin Zhan first. I’ll trouble you to look after Qin Qiu and the others. Please don’t let them come to any harm.”

 

Zhao Shengming nodded. “Rest assured, I’d die before letting these children get hurt.”

 

With Zhao Shengming’s assurance, Lu Fan naturally had nothing more to say. He patted Ye Sha’s back, had Ye Sha take flight, and went to find Jin Zhan.

 

Zhao Shengming watched as Lu Fan rode the Shadow Dragon alongside Jin Zhan, heading deeper into the Far North, his face showing traces of a smile.

 

“This boy, in just one short year, he can already be mentioned in the same breath as Jin Zhan. His potential is probably ten thousand times more terrifying than Jin Zhan’s. If Jin Zhan is a genius never before seen in Dragon Country’s history, then Lu Fan is the most monstrous prodigy in all of Humanity. Having such a genius as my student… I really should be proud. Hehe…”

 

Meanwhile…

 

Lu Fan sat atop Ye Sha, smiling as he followed Jin Zhan.

 

Jin Zhan’s expression was cold and stern, though he uncharacteristically turned back to glance at Lu Fan. “I heard my name come out earlier.”

 

Lu Fan chuckled. “Well, I can’t help it. Your ears are quite sharp. You were the one who could hear us from such a distance, no?”

 

Jin Zhan remained expressionless. “I carry Three Legged Golden Crow blood within me. My senses far surpass ordinary people’s, making them more acute.”

 

Lu Fan teased. “If your senses are so acute, why did you ask what we discussed about you? Couldn’t you have just listened directly?”

 

Jin Zhan frowned slightly, seemingly finding conversation with Lu Fan rather irksome. “I’m merely acute, not all powerful in hearing. I could hear you mention my name, but couldn’t make out what was said.”

 

“Ah, I see.” Lu Fan nodded, then smiled after thinking. “Actually, it wasn’t much. I just stole one fan from you.”

 

Jin Zhan. “Huh?”

 

After hearing this, Jin Zhan became even more confused.

 

However, he did not want to continue talking with Lu Fan.

 

Because he felt that the more he spoke with Lu Fan, the more disagreeable he found him.

 

The two continued without further conversation, advancing deep into the Far North for quite some distance.

 

Lu Fan checked the Map and finally discovered that he and Jin Zhan were drawing ever closer to those two caverns.

 

Soon enough, he indeed saw unusual scenery appearing in the icy Wilderness ahead.

 

It was an enormously deep pit with a diameter of approximately ten kilometres.

 

Its depth was impossible to determine.

 

From this deep pit, Fallen Corpse Puppets continuously surged outward like water from a spring’s source, interspersed with some Bosses.

 

It seemed that all the Fallen Corpse Puppets on the frontlines originated from here.

 

They crawled out from this deep pit, traversing hundreds of kilometres to attack the frontlines at the edge of the Far North.

 

So many of them were swarming out like ants. This sight left even Lu Fan stunned.

 

Jin Zhan rode his Three Legged Fire Bird, hovering in mid-air as he gazed at the Monsters below. “How about it? Spectacular, isn’t it? This is the place that continuously spawns these creatures, threatening our Dragon Country.”

 

“I’ve long wanted to come here and directly eliminate the source. Today, that wish should finally be realised.”
