Boom!
Xu Fan's aura erupted from within him, spiritual power surging.
Xu Fan's idea was simple: since reason couldn't be found with this Archbishop, he would communicate with his fists. Since the Archbishop didn't have the patience to seek the truth, Xu Fan would trample him to the ground with his feet, helping him slowly find the truth.
Hahaha!
Unexpectedly, as Xu Fan revealed his aura, Archbishop Ma Wen burst into laughter, "I wondered what big shot you were. A re kid at the peak of the Zhiwei Realm dares to act recklessly in front of ? You really don't know the aning of death!"
Just now, Ma Wen had heard from his subordinates about a significant figure and was shocked by the scene he witnessed upon eting Xu Fan, causing him to montarily overlook Xu Fan's realm.
Now, seeing Xu Fan's aura, Ma Wen realized Xu Fan's realm and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Church of Light is no longer what it used to be, and Ma Wen was concerned about provoking a powerful force, but now it seed that Archbishop Dora invited Xu Fan because he appreciated the young man's talent.
A youth at the peak of the Zhiwei Realm was indeed rare, even stronger than the most outstanding young mber of the Church of Light, Matthew, which explained why Matthew was defeated and humiliated.
Yet in front of him, Archbishop Ma Wen, words like genius, talent, and Zhiwei Realm peak were laughable!
In the presence of a Kai Yang Realm expert, even a Mysterious Light Realm expert would be respectful; when did it beco the turn of a Zhiwei Realm junior to act presumptuously over a Kai Yang Realm expert?
Faced with Ma Wen's humiliating taunts, Xu Fan did not get angry. Instead, he shook his head and sighed softly.
Seeing Xu Fan's sighing appearance, Ma Wen laughed again. He had seen people fight back on the brink of death, shiver in fear, and even beg for rcy, but one who repeatedly shook his head and sighed was rare indeed.
"Boy! What are you sighing about? Do you regret it now?"
Xu Fan looked seriously at Ma Wen, "I originally thought you weren't so significant figure, but at least you had so status. Now it seems you're miles away from being a significant figure!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Wen did not get angry but instead couldn't help but laugh, a mocking expression on his face, "How am I miles away from being a significant figure? In your eyes, what kind of person counts as a significant figure?"
"Every significant figure knows their opponent well before taking action. You don't even know my na before attacking —how can you be a significant figure?"
The Speaker of the Dark Council prepared thoroughly before taking action against Xu Fan, but he lacked sufficient understanding of Xu Fan and ultimately fled, leaving the entire Dark Council behind.
Even though they were opposites, Xu Fan had to admit that the Speaker deserved to be called a significant figure.
In contrast, this Archbishop Ma Wen, who acted without a word, was far from comparable to the Speaker of the Dark Council.
Upon hearing Xu Fan belittle him, Ma Wen's face was full of sarcasm. He didn't attack but instead mocked Xu Fan like a cat playing with a mouse, "Your na? Can I still ask now? What's your na?"
Xu Fan replied earnestly, "My na is Xu Fan."
Even at this stage, Xu Fan was unwilling to engage in combat with Archbishop Ma Wen. Xu Fan wasn't afraid but felt it was unnecessary.
If Archbishop Ma Wen had truly been a significant figure, he would have heard his na from the Pope or during the last reign. Xu Fan might have chosen to forgive him if Ma Wen apologized sincerely.
However, all of this was just Xu Fan's wishful thinking.
Archbishop Ma Wen laughed loudly, "Xu Fan? Never heard of it. Now that I've asked your na and I'm taking action, can I be considered a significant figure? Or do you think every significant figure must have heard your na?"
After the destruction of the Taoists and the Slaying the Immortal battle, almost all major figures on Earth had indeed heard of Xu Fan's na.
So, those who hadn't heard of Xu Fan's na could hardly be considered significant figures.
However, there was no point in saying this to Archbishop Ma Wen.
The gap in level ant any further discussion would be like playing musical instrunts to a bull.
"Forget it, go ahead then."
Hearing Xu Fan's listless, discouraged tone, Ma Wen laughed, more convinced Xu Fan was rely putting on a brave face and had now been seen through, resigned to his fate.
"Boss!?"
At that mont, an uncertain voice suddenly echoed. Xu Fan turned his head in surprise and saw a familiar figure—Shi Lei!
Shi Lei shared an unbreakable bond with Xu Fan. They studied together, and when Xu Fan took over Lingyan Pavilion, Shi Lei was there to help. After the Jinling incident, Shi Lei vanished with Xia Xiaodie and others.
Xu Fan had searched heartily for days and finally found Shi Lei again in the Church of Light.
Xu Fan waved towards Shi Lei with a laugh, "Little Shi! It's !"
Shi Lei also laughed, almost jumping in excitent, "Great! Boss! You're finally here! Sis will be so thrilled!"
"Sis" naturally referred to Xia Xiaodie. Hearing Xia Xiaodie's safety, a weight lifted off Xu Fan's heart, wrapping him in a gentle warmth, and the previously disliked Archbishop Ma Wen beca less annoying.
If the Church of Light treated Xia Xiaodie and others well, it would be hard for Xu Fan to be harsh on Archbishop Ma Wen, lest it beco awkward when eting the Pope.
Just as Xu Fan thought this, a sharp sound pierced the air.
Smack!
A long whip lashed brutally across Shi Lei's back, instantly tearing his skin and drawing blood.
"You lowlife! Who allowed you to chat here? Do you want to die?"
Behind Shi Lei, an overseer holding a long whip angrily cursed at him. Shi Lei smiled at Xu Fan, then lowered his head as if used to such treatnt, "Boss, I'll finish up here first and talk to you later."
It was only then that Xu Fan noticed Shi Lei's unusually pale complexion and the bruises and scars on his exposed skin.
"You lowlife! Dare to speak again?"
The overseer cursed, lifting his whip to strike Shi Lei across the face again.
Boom!
Seeing this, Xu Fan felt sothing explode in his mind!
Previously, Xu Fan believed that Xia Xiaodie and the others were guests of the Church of Light, as Xia Hengzhou assured him of their safety, which led him to tolerate Matthew and Archbishop Ma Wen repeatedly.
But never had Xu Fan imagined that Shi Lei lived such a life in the Church of Light.
Rage instantly filled Xu Fan's eyes!
