Chapter 1814: Is it necessary to cooperate like this?

Everyone present was greatly shocked; no one had expected Fan Xiaofeng to be so powerful.

Even the referee presiding over the arena had a look of shock on his face; in all his years of organizing arena battles at Cangfeng Academy, this was the first time he had seen a student at the Half-step Refining Void Realm.

Before this, even the top-ranked individual on the entire Heaven List was at most at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Realm.

Below the arena, Chu Lingxi cried out in surprise, "Half-step Refining Void Realm, how is that possible?"

"What's impossible about it?" Duan Wei walked over from not far away, laughing heartily. "How about it? Do you know how formidable he is now? From now on, the top spot on the Heaven List will belong to our boss!"

He then turned to look at Ye Bufan next to him, "Kid, Lu Xueman can't protect you today. Just wait to be kicked out!"

Ye Bufan smiled playfully, "That's not certain. That kid does have some cultivation, but he hasn't seen who his opponent is. That's my wife!

If you ask me, he probably can't even block one move from my wife and might be slapped down onto the arena!"

"Shameless, this guy is too shameless! A freeloader actually dares to boast like this!"

"Exactly. If it weren't for him, how could my goddess possibly enter the arena, and how could she fight Senior Fan?"

"This kind of person doesn't deserve to stay in our Cangfeng Academy; make him get out immediately…"

Ye Bufan's words immediately made him the target of a thousand fingers. Some thought he was boasting, while others were angry at him because of Lu Xueman.

On the arena, Lu Xueman looked at Fan Xiaofeng indifferently, "My man said to slap you down!"

After speaking, she took a step forward, raised her slender hand, and slapped towards Fan Xiaofeng.

"Uh…"

Everyone present was stunned; they hadn't expected Lu Xueman to be so obedient to Ye Bufan, doing whatever he said.

Chu Lingxi's mouth widened in surprise, secretly shocked. Facing a Half-step Refining Void Realm expert, Senior Lu was so overconfident. Wasn't this asking for trouble?

A cold, disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Fan Xiaofeng's mouth. In his opinion, the woman in front of him was overestimating herself. To slap him down, she would need to have that ability.

But just then, his smile suddenly froze, and a massive pressure, like a collapsing mountain and overturning sea, swept over him, pressing him down so tightly that even the True Qi in his body seemed to stop circulating.

"My heavens, this is the Refining Void Realm!"

At this moment,

Fan Xiaofeng no longer had his previous composure. On the contrary, a turbulent storm had risen in his heart. To be able to suppress him, a Half-step Refining Void expert, so thoroughly, it could only be the Refining Void Realm.

"Refining Void Realm, how is that possible?"

He never expected that Lu Xueman, who was two years younger than him, would step into the Refining Void Realm in one go. If he had known this, why would he even bother competing? Wasn't this seeking death?

But it was too late to regret now. He wanted to dodge, but under the immense pressure, how could that be possible?

In desperation, he could only exert all his strength, throwing a punch to meet Lu Xueman's slender palm.

Under everyone's gaze, fist and palm met. With a muffled bang, a violent Qi wave instantly swept around, and the entire arena seemed to tremble. Even the referee standing nearby retreated repeatedly.

The surrounding students were thrown off balance by the swirling Qi, looking disheveled.

What shocked people the most was that Fan Xiaofeng's full-strength punch couldn't block Lu Xueman's attack at all.

The seemingly casual palm strike, however, possessed immense power, directly knocking away the incoming fist and then slapping him across the face.

With a crisp smack, Fan Xiaofeng was sent flying, landing heavily on the arena floor.

"Uh…"

The students present were completely stunned. The dignified second-ranked on the Heaven List, Fan Xiaofeng, who had just been so imposing, was actually slapped down. How was this possible?

The most affected was Duan Wei. Just now, someone said he would be slapped away, and he actually was. What was going on? Was it necessary to cooperate so perfectly?

Wei Ping's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets. As a student of the Middle Courtyard, he was very clear about Fan Xiaofeng's cultivation and his status in the academy.

How could the dignified second-ranked on the Heaven List be beaten like a dog?

Most importantly, if the other party lost, he would have to leave Cangfeng Academy, which was a completely unbearable consequence.

The same went for Dong Chao. He had been full of confidence in Fan Xiaofeng, but now his face instantly turned bitter.

He had just managed to enter Cangfeng Academy with great effort. Was he going to be kicked out so soon?

The other people present, although not directly related to their own interests, were also deeply shocked. After a brief silence, they instantly erupted.

"What's going on? When did Senior Lu become so powerful?"

"Didn't Senior Fan say he had reached the

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Half-step Refining Void Realm? How could he not even block one move from his opponent? What cultivation level must Senior Lu be then?"

"Does that even need to be said? To be able to defeat a Half-step Refining Void Realm in one move, it can only be the Refining Void Realm! Senior Lu truly lives up to her title as my goddess; she actually reached the Refining Void Realm so quickly!"

After a brief shock, Jiang Fangzhou was incredibly excited. He grabbed Ye Bufan's sleeve, "Ye Dage, she's too amazing, truly too amazing!"

Due to his excessive excitement, he couldn't think of any other words of praise and could only keep repeating that sentence.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chu Lingxi next to him had a look of disbelief. Although she had considered the possibility of Lu Xueman defeating Fan Xiaofeng, it definitely wouldn't be easy.

At least the two of them should have fought for three hundred rounds. What was going on with being slapped down in one blow? Was it just because of that man's words just now?

She also turned her head and grabbed Ye Bufan's other sleeve, asking excitedly, "Quick, tell me, why did Senior Lu become so powerful?"

"Because she's my wife," Ye Bufan said playfully. "If you become my wife, you can also become this powerful."

"Bah! Daydreaming!"

Chu Lingxi's cheeks flushed, and she spat at him fiercely.

At this moment, Fan Xiaofeng got up from the arena, with a bright red slap mark on his cheek and a look of disbelief.

He couldn't believe that what he thought was a sure victory would result in this. He couldn't help but shout frantically, "Impossible! Weren't you injured? Why did you become so powerful?

I've worked so hard for so many years and still haven't broken through the Bottleneck, yet you easily stepped into the Refining Void Realm! Why is that?"

"Do you want to know the answer?" Lu Xueman glanced at him indifferently, then pointed to Ye Bufan below the stage, "Because he is my man!"

"Uh…"

Everyone was utterly bewildered. This was completely irrelevant. What did that man have to do with Senior Lu entering the Refining Void Realm?

Chu Lingxi, however, shook her head repeatedly, thinking that Senior Lu was truly hopelessly in love. Did she have to cooperate with whatever this man said?

The others also shook their heads and sighed, discussing amongst themselves, feeling regret for their goddess.

They had no idea that all of this was true. Without the man in front of them, Lu Xueman would not have been able to step into the Refining Void Realm, and might even have become a cold corpse.
