Chapter 374 Cats and Dogs

“We are not here to visit, but rather invited by the Grand Elder to join the Immortal Academy and study,” Lin Fan explained.

“Do you have proof?”

For a moment, Lin Fan and Yue Chan fell silent. After the old man threw them halfway, he only told them the location of the Immortal Academy and didn't give them any token.

“Notify the Grand Elder to come. He will know once he sees us,” Lin Fan said after a moment of hesitation.

“Ridiculous! What kind of person is our Immortal Academy's Grand Elder? He has profound cultivation and practices great Dao. How can he be met whenever you wish?”

“Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite.”

Inside the mountain gate, that voice carried disdain and arrogance.

“Heh, I'd like to see how you'll be impolite then?”

Lin Fan was displeased. Not only was he abandoned by that old man halfway, but upon reaching his destination, he was also intercepted by a gatekeeper.

“Ch!”

As he finished speaking, a male figure emerged from within the mountain gate. He was a Red-haired Man with hair like fire, exuding a heroic Aura.

At a glance, one could tell this person was extraordinary, with outstanding talent. Especially, there was a wisp of Immortal Qi lingering around his body, which indicated his exceptional nature.

Of course, compared to Lin Fan, this was still not enough, but for a gatekeeper, it was quite “luxurious.”

“Oh, these two young ladies are quite beautiful. They can enter the Immortal Academy, as long as they get closer to me.”

The Red-haired Man chuckled, openly appraising Yue Chan and Feng Luan with an air of arrogance.

Clearly, he was taken with the beauty of the two women and wanted to take them as his maids, or even concubines, to serve by his side.

Moreover, his words made it sound as if it were a great favor, a tremendous honor for them.

This made the two women very disgusted and repulsed.

“I'll fight him!” Feng Luan said.

All this time, she had held a burning anger. She had been captured and brought to the Nine Heavens, far from her homeland. From a high and mighty princess of a kingdom, she was almost reduced to a plaything.

Under this immense sense of disparity and hatred, she held no good feelings towards the beings of the Nine Heavens, only hostility, which she wished to vent.

Even now, her becoming a follower of Lin Fan and Yue Chan was only a temporary expedient.

After all, she was once a princess of an ancient kingdom in the Land of Immortal Slaying. Normally, whenever she traveled, she was like a moon surrounded by stars, protected and pampered by her clan. How could she willingly become a maid so easily?

The reason she acted this way now was, firstly, to repay a kindness, and secondly, to find a way to return to her homeland.

Because Feng Luan learned that Lin Fan and Yue Chan also did not belong to the Nine Heavens, but came from one of the Ten Lands—the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!

“Boom!”

The battle inevitably erupted.

Feng Luan was very strong, a favored daughter of heaven. Becoming a Heavenly God at such a young age was enough to explain many things.

She was not only beautiful, captivating enough to make fish sink and wild geese fall, but also proficient in fire Dao precious techniques, reaching a state of perfection, like a Phoenix reborn from fire.

“The young lady is not bad, but… this is as far as you go.” The Red-haired Man smiled, his tone mocking.

The next moment, a wisp of Immortal Qi, pure white and flawless, appeared around his body, instantly disintegrating Feng Luan's precious technique and repelling her.

However, what was unexpected was that Feng Luan's glabella glowed, and the 'Fire' character imprint seemed to come alive, pressing forward.

This was very strange; even Lin Fan watched intently. That imprint actually carried the Aura of the Immortal Dao, and it seemed more like a Bloodline Legacy.

“Ch!”

In an instant, the 'Fire' character glowed, condensing the fire elements of heaven and earth, transforming into a furnace that trapped the Red-haired Man and began to incinerate him.

“You have some tricks, but you ultimately haven't cultivated Immortal Qi, and you don't understand the difference between us.” The Red-haired Man remained unconcerned, extremely confident.

Above his head, a Dao flower bloomed, formed from Immortal Qi, mysterious and unfathomable, impacting the entire furnace.

Unfortunately, although Feng Luan was an outstanding Heavenly God, she ultimately had not cultivated Immortal Qi, always falling short, unable to suppress her opponent.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the furnace shattered, and Feng Luan's face turned pale from the backlash.

She was defeated, looking at that wisp of Immortal Qi with a sense of desolation. Even her strongest killing move couldn't faze a mere gatekeeper.

“Ultimately, I haven't taken that step. There's a gap between us…” she sighed.

“Now you know, don't you? The Immortal Academy isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter,” the Red-haired Man said, looking down.

“Ch!”

Just then, a golden war spear flew over, spewing electric light, dazzling and brilliant, shooting forward.

It was Lin Fan who moved!

“You dare!” the Red-haired Man roared, dodging.

But it was too fast, like a brilliant galaxy, streaking across the sky, with astonishing Aura, carrying a large amount of lightning.

Seeing this, the Red-haired Man conjured a Magical Artifact, a precious bottle, that spewed fire, colliding with the golden war spear.

Immediately, endless runes erupted between the two, and sparks flew everywhere.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan leaped up, descending from the sky, stomping down with his foot, covering the earth, making the Red-haired Man frustrated and unable to dodge.

“You're courting death!”

He let out a long roar, a wisp of Immortal Qi swirling around his palm, striking towards the sky, accompanied by faint Chaos Qi, its might sharp.

However, in the end, it was useless. Lin Fan's large foot descended like a majestic mountain, almost shattering his Immortal Qi.

The Red-haired Man was shocked and enraged, exerting his full strength. Dao petals bloomed, lifting the precious bottle above his head, fire blazing into the sky, burning fiercely.

Even so, Lin Fan remained unfazed, not even using his Immortal Qi. He simply stomped down heavily, impervious to all techniques.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound rang out. Under that foot, the precious bottle developed dense cracks, and then exploded.

“My Magical Artifact!” The Red-haired Man's heart ached, but before he could think further, something even more infuriating happened.

The large foot from the sky continued to press down, landing directly on his forehead, pressing him into the earth, creating a large pit.

“Pfft!”

Blood burst forth. This Immortal Academy Disciple screamed, his skull cracking, blood mixed with brains splattering, severely injured and looking terrible.

“Is this what the Immortal Academy's Tom, Dick, or Harry looks like? Nothing more than that!” Lin Fan sneered, disdainfully.

The Red-haired Man's face was ashen. These were the words he had just said, only for them to be thrown back at him, truly humiliating.

At the same time, he was stepped on the head, almost dying, feeling a great sense of grievance, simply too ashamed to face anyone.

Of course, more than that was shock. The opponent's move was too fast and too casual; he was defeated just like that, without even manifesting Immortal Qi, which was incredible.

Even within the Immortal Academy, there weren't many people with such strength, and all of them were the most terrifying existences.

Even so, the Red-haired Man still had a trace of arrogance, carrying defiance, because behind him was one of the strongest academies in the Nine Heavens.

“Kid, do you know what you're doing? Provoking the Immortal Academy, you… Ah…”

He cried out in pain, immediately closing his mouth as his Primordial Spirit was squeezed, almost shattering and perishing in both body and spirit.

He quickly realized that the person above him was not afraid of threats, nor would he hesitate to kill due to his status as an Immortal Academy Disciple.

“Yang Ming, what's wrong with you? You can't even deal with some wild kid from who knows where now?”

Inside the mountain gate, mocking laughter came, and several figures, both male and female, emerged. They all looked very young, accompanied by wisps of Immortal mist, extraordinary and ethereal.
