In fact, how could the crowd's gazes be just a little strange? It was as if they were looking at an alien holding a world-destroying weapon, full of gratitude mixed with awe and a touch of fear.
The hierarchy in the cultivation world is strict. Fortunately, everyone believed that the Xu Fan in front of them had so connection to the Xu Bro they knew. Otherwise, their gazes towards Xu Fan would have been even more reverent.
At the forefront of the crowd, Luo Yan was staring intently at Xu Fan, who approached step by step, with an incredibly complex expression. His lips moved as if to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.
What was there to say? To thank Xu Fan for saving his life? Or to admit that his strength was inferior to Xu Fan's? That would be more humiliating to Luo Yan than being killed!
"Brother Luo, long ti no see, how have you been?"
Unexpectedly to everyone, Xu Fan didn't carry the slightest air of superiority. Instead, he stopped directly in front of Luo Yan and greeted him, with a hint of a smile on his face.
Kidding aside, Xu Fan had long considered Luo Yan as the leader among everyone in his heart. At this mont, he naturally couldn't let Luo Yan lose face. On the contrary, Xu Fan had already made up his mind to praise Luo Yan to the utmost, tying him firmly with the group! Given Luo Yan's personality, he surely wouldn't abandon everyone else.
Seeing the amicable Xu Fan, not only was Luo Yan stunned, but so were Aniu and the others behind him, all bewildered.
This voice... why does it sound so familiar?
"Long ti no see... Xu Bro."
Luo Yan was much older than Xu Fan, so addressing Xu Fan as Xu Bro was natural. What was unusual was Luo Yan's attitude.
At this mont, facing the smiling Xu Fan, Luo Yan found that he couldn't muster any hatred toward Xu Fan in his heart.
This realization made Luo Yan feel both surprised and angry.
And Luo Yan's form of address sparked a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Luo Yan just called this powerful figure... Xu Bro?"
"Why would Luo Yan call this powerful figure in front of us Xu Bro?"
"Could it be..."
Everyone, looking at Xu Fan's incredibly familiar face, felt a sense of powerlessness rising in their hearts. The truth seed to be edging closer to the absurd and ridiculous...
Could an Entering Dao Realm Peak really unleash such an astonishing combat power?
Those present had reputations as super talents in the outside world, but compared to the person in front of them, they all felt like... there was no one as foolish as they were!
"Perhaps... this Xu Bro is the brother of Xu Bro."
"Entering Dao Realm Peak, how could it be this powerful? It's impossible!"
Among the crowd, there were also those who were quick-witted and imdiately ca up with an excuse for themselves. A young Zhiwei Realm expert was indeed astonishing! But it was far easier to accept than an Entering Dao Realm Peak slaughtering Zhiwei Realm experts.
"Brother Luo, as the ancients say, after three days apart, one should look at a person with new eyes! Witnessing Brother Luo's prowess today, even I, Xu Mo, was amazed!"
"Previously, there were so misunderstandings between us, but it seems we got to know each other through a bit of conflict! Brother Luo, please don't take it to heart."
Seeing the unpredictable expression on Luo Yan's face, Xu Fan didn't hesitate to play his trump card—telling lies as calm as if it were the truth!
In fact, it wasn't exactly a lie. Luo Yan's performance today indeed surprised Xu Fan, so these words were sincerely spoken. As for the purpose... it was, of course, to make Luo Yan feel better and not leave everyone behind in a fit of anger.
If such a thing really happened, even as strong as Xu Fan was, it would be impossible for him to forcibly bring Luo Yan back and make him protect everyone along the way.
This strategy of Xu Fan's was called attacking the heart first!
The effect of this attack on the heart was astounding!
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, Luo Yan's face, which was incredibly complex, changed imdiately, and he shouted at Xu Fan, "Xu Fan! What do you an by this? Are you pitying , Luo Yan?"
"Even if my current strength doesn't match yours, it doesn't an it never will in the future!"
Hearing Luo Yan's words, Xu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the real Luo Yan!
Earlier, Luo Yan's call of Xu Bro had shocked not only the crowd but even Xu Fan had shivered. The relationship between Xu Fan and Luo Yan had always been adversarial, and three days ago, during the base competition, Xu Fan had launched a punch at Luo Yan with murderous intent!
That punch didn't take Luo Yan's life, but it did leave him severely injured! Although the result was positive, as Luo Yan was spurred into action and ascended to the Zhiwei Realm in three days, officially becoming a powerful figure, a grudge was still ford between them.
Now, Luo Yan's angry deanor was a sign that he had truly opened up to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan let out a sigh of relief, but the more than forty people present were almost shocked out of their wits upon hearing Luo Yan's words.
"Xu, Xu Fan?"
"The so-called Xu Bro is Xu Fan? The top of the Earth List, Xu Fan?"
By now, even the most oblivious person realized that the figure in front of them was indeed the Xu Bro they knew! Moreover, Xu Bro had another na renowned throughout the world... Xu Fan!
Xu Fan's na in the cultivation world was a well-known presence!
Initially, he had co from obscurity, forcefully climbed the Earth List, and occupied the top third position, almost becoming famous overnight!
The top hundred geniuses on the Earth List were almost exclusively Zhiwei Realm and Vajra Realm experts! But Xu Fan's realm was only Entering Dao Realm Peak! Therefore, the na Xu Fan was becoming increasingly striking!
Of course, most people sneered at this ranking on the Earth List. Not having reached the Vajra Realm, with no grade level, and regardless of talent, what use was there?
Once he reached the Vajra Realm, if he failed to enter the Spirit Grade, or even fell into the Mortal Grade, then no matter how talented, Xu Fan's cultivation path was destined to end! It was nearly impossible to break through to the Zhiwei Realm and beco a true powerhouse!
However, within a few days, the Earth List updated its rankings again; everyone's ranking remained unchanged, except Xu Fan's moved from third to first! And his realm was still the glaringly conspicuous Entering Dao Realm Peak…
Now, almost the entire cultivation world knew Xu Fan's na!
Of course, the vast majority of cultivators were skeptical and mocking of Xu Fan being at the top of the Earth List, including this group of proud super talents.
Previously, everyone thought Xu Fan didn't deserve such a prominent title as the top of the Earth List!
But now, everyone felt that even the title of top of the Earth List seed not grand enough when placed on Xu Fan...
