Chapter 88: Confronting Cold Frost

  Huan Yue patted Lu Fan's back and said, "You little ghost, go back and study hard. You've already gotten the fist technique, but I haven't gotten anything yet. Have you rested well? Hurry up and help me get a martial skill too."

  Lu Fan sensed his internal condition and found that his aura was still recovering rapidly. In a short moment, he had recovered about half of it.

  Nodding, Lu Fan said: "Good, but you'd better hurry up this time."

  "No problem," said Huan Yue loudly. "It just so happens that I've also used the yin-yang energy, and during this period of time my power is at its peak state, let's hurry up and do it."

  Huan Yue said, once again vigorously whipping out a long whip, directly throwing it into the Wujixinghai.

  This time, Huan Yue picked a star bigger than the last one.

  Under her feet, a brilliant black and white light burst forth. Huan Yue let out a soft shout, and her entire body's power was elevated to its peak. A set of fiery red lotus flower treasure robes enveloped her, making her look like a celestial goddess from the ninth heaven.

  Lu Fan only then noticed that Huan Yue's current aura was absolutely not just one or two layers of outer aura.

  Look at this magnificent lotus-patterned brocade, it's just like a blooming flame lotus. The patterns are vivid and lifelike, with radiant colors flowing around.

  Such strength is probably at least a three-layered external refinement cultivator.

  It's been less than half a year, and Huan Yue's cultivation speed is simply inhumanly fast.

  "Lu Fan, what's wrong with you? Guang Jian is here."

  Lu Fan heard the sound and quickly regained his composure, hastily raising the heavy sword in his hand.

  Just like before, the lightsaber started with dense attacks and then began to curve around from behind.

  With the experience of the first time, the second attack was much easier to defend against. After exerting a bit of effort, Huan Yue managed to pull out his martial skills.

  At the sight of the words on the cover, Huan Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Divine Spirit Thousand Illusionary Decision. Good stuff, I'll take this book. Didn't expect to find good stuff in this Cultivation Tower after all. That old guy didn't cheat me."

  Lu Fan really wanted to ask who the old man in Huan Yue's mouth was, but when it came to the point of speaking, he didn't ask again.

  The reason was none other than that Huan Yue directly took out a snow-white jade pendant, on which there were intricate floral patterns, obviously some kind of formation.

  Infusing his energy, Huan Yue shouted at the jade pendant: "Old fellow! I've obtained the martial skill, it's this one. I'll take it away directly!"

  Lu Fan leaned forward and took a look, and an illusion appeared in the jade pendant, which was surprisingly the old face of the principal.

  The dean looked at Huan Yue helplessly and said, "If you want to learn, then learn. Why must you take him away?"

  Gengetsu Kage said, "I dislike the martial arts I've learned the most. Others will too. The fewer people who use the same techniques as me, the better. I'll take the martial arts away. At worst, once I've mastered them completely, I'll return them to you."

  The dean shook his head and said, "Forget it, take it away."

  As he spoke, a ray of light shot out from the jade pendant and entered the book in Huan Yue's hand. A red glow rose from the bottom of the book and then disappeared into thin air. From that moment on, the mark indicating that this book was a martial skill manual from the Wudao Academy completely vanished, and the book became Huan Yue's private treasure.

  Huan Yue put away the jade pendant and placed the book into the red thread on her left wrist.

  Without a doubt, the red thread in her hand was also an empty object. After doing all this, Huan Yue smiled and said to Lu Fan: "Haha, I got a local-level martial skill manual. This kind of local-level martial skill is viewed as a treasure by the old guys at the Martial Arts Academy, they won't let students take it out of the tower. But he can lift the restriction himself. Spirit-level martial skills can be taken out, but not local-level ones, what kind of stupid rules. Hehe, I won't return it to him. Once something falls into my hands, it's mine. In the future, when I bring this martial skill manual back home, I can even let my sister cultivate it, and maybe even let my pig cultivate it."

  Lu Fan was speechless for a moment, and she had calculated it this way emotionally.

  She stamped her foot a few times on the golden puppet's head and said, "Alright, silly big guy, we've settled it. Send us out now."

  Lu Fan hastily said: "Wait a minute. I still have some time, I want to go down to the next few floors and grab a few more martial skills books."

  Huan Yue's voice was filled with doubt: "The next few levels? Are you referring to those Spirit-level martial skills? What's the use of those useless skills?"

  Lu Fan smiled lightly and looked at Huan Yue without answering.

  Having a master like Huan Yue, some spiritual-level martial skills are naturally nothing.

  But for Lu Fan, the spiritual-level martial skills were still very useful. Didn't they see that the treasure of the Lu family was just a low-ranking spiritual-level martial skill? Getting a few more would be a contribution to the family when he brought them back home. Moreover, Lu Fan also remembered to bring one for Ling Yao.

  Huan Yue looked at Lu Fan's smile, waved her hand and said: "Alright, alright. I'll do it with you. With Ben Daxiaojie here, the martial skills of the next few levels, you can choose whatever you want. Humph, if you really can't choose, let those silly big guys introduce them to you. Right, silly big guy."

  The golden puppet let out a long sigh, it deeply felt that being a puppet was really not easy.

  Two people jumped down from the golden puppet's head, and Huan Yue suddenly thought of something, turned his hand and threw a shiny gemstone at the golden puppet.

  "You big fool, you look quite honest and lovely, so I'll give this to you. Heh heh, I hope that by the time I come back next time, you'll have made some progress, at least be able to change your shape, your head is really too round."

  The golden puppet caught the gem thrown by Huan Yue and its eyes lit up instantly.

  "Formation Gemstone."

  Huan Yue smiled and said: "You have some insight, hurry up and absorb it. It's most useful for puppets like you. Goodbye, silly big guy."

  The golden puppet swallowed the gemstone in one gulp, then stood up and bowed deeply to Huan Yue, saying in a loud voice: "Welcome next time."

  Xuan Yue looked up and burst out laughing, Lu Fan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly walked away.

  All the way down, unimpeded.

  It was as difficult to come up as constipation, and it was as refreshing to go down as a burst of urine. With the help of Huan Yue, Lu Fan soon found a suitable Xuan Yin Jue for women's cultivation on the fifth floor. Ling Yao had some accomplishments in music, and this Xuan Yin Jue seemed to be just right for her.

  He picked up two more on the third and fourth floors. On the fourth floor, Lu Fan also saw Feng Hua, who was still working hard. Without much conversation, Lu Fan chose his martial skills and left directly. His relaxed and simple demeanor made Feng Hua grit her teeth again in secret. After putting away these two spiritual-level martial skills, Lu Fan finally felt satisfied and left the Cultivation Tower with Huan Yue.

  A flash of white light, and the two returned to outside the tower. Lu Fan's face was filled with a smile, this time in the Cultivation Tower could be said to have gained a lot.

  "Lu Fan!"

  Lu Fang had just stood still when a shout suddenly came from beside his ear.

  Turning around, the sight that entered her eyes was Ling Yao being controlled by Yan Ran, who let out a cry. Beside them, Leng Han and an unfamiliar man were smiling from ear to ear, while beside them, Han Feng lay on the ground.

  "Ling Yao! Han Feng Shixiong!"

  Lu Fan's anger surged at that moment, and he quickly walked up to Han Feng's side.

  Han Feng didn't faint and pointed at the man beside Leng Han, saying: "My Bixue Changtian Sword!"

  Lu Fan turned his head and looked over, indeed, Han Feng's Bishui Changtian sword had fallen into this person's hands.

  He gave a bottle of Dan medicine to Master Han Feng, and Lu Fan stared at the man and said: "Who are you? Return my sword."

  The man stroked the sword with his hand and said, "My name is Yu Xin. This sword is not bad, it belongs to me now."

  When she heard Yu Xin's name, Huan Yue's eyebrows slightly raised.

  Leng Han sneered, "Lu Fan, we've been waiting for you here for a long time. Now you have two choices: one, hand over all the valuable things in your possession and kneel down to apologize to me; or two, we'll cripple you right here."

  Lu Fan drew out his heavy sword and said: "I heard that in Jianbao Mountain, there seems to be a guide patrolling. Leng Han, how dare you be so arrogant?"

  Leng Han smiled coldly and said: "If it were in front of many students, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. But Lu Fan, open your eyes and take a look, are there any other people around?"

  Lu Fan turned his head and looked around, indeed, except for Leng Han and others, there was no one else around.

  Leng Han smiled coldly and explained, "You're not in front of the Cultivation Tower now, but behind it. This is the exit of the Cultivation Tower. Ordinary disciples can't even enter the tower, how would they know where the exit is? Luckily, I entered the tower a few days ago, or else I wouldn't have found this place either. Honestly, Lu Fan, you're able to enter the Cultivation Tower and it's really surprising to me. When my subordinate told me that you accepted a challenge from a strong warrior on the Martial Arts Ranking List, I was stunned. By the way, let me introduce you to our Yin Yang Institute's Yu Xin Shixiong, whose ranking is in the top 20 of the Martial Arts Ranking List. You don't stand a chance. Now, kneel down and apologize to me, it's still not too late."

  Turning his head, Leng Han looked at Huan Yue beside Lu Fan with a cold smile. Zhan Yan smiled and said to Huan Yue in a teasing tone: "Miss, you'd better keep a distance. There might be bloodshed later. Or, stand behind me and I'll protect you."

  Huan Yue suddenly smiled and turned his head to Lu Fan: "Do you want me to take action? This guy is so annoying that he's making me sick."

  Lu Fan said: "Suit yourself. But wait till I finish this fight."

  Huan Yue nodded, she could see that Lu Fan's eyes had already turned murderous.

  As for Lu Fan's strength, Huan Yue still had confidence in him. Although his cultivation was not high, his intensity and explosive power were not bad either. Especially his defensive power, which was frighteningly high. Huan Yue had already seen how Lu Fan could block those terrifying light swords.

  A surge of aura burst out from his body, and Lu Fan began to enhance his own aura.

  Leng Han saw Lu Fan struggling at this time, and coldly said: "Good, you have backbone. Next, let me break your bones and see if you can still get hard. Yu Xin Shixiong, help me hold the array. I'll deal with him."

  Yu's heart felt the aura on Lu Fan's body, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. He seemed to have a poor impression of Leng Han.

  Just then, a voice sounded in Yu Xin's ear.

  "What's wrong with you? I advise you not to move. Otherwise, you will end up like Fang Tian, beaten very badly."

  Yu Xin's face changed dramatically as he looked at Huan Yue with a gaze that was as if he had seen a ghost.
