Walking at the front, naturally it was Chen Fan.
While Sun Wei and the others followed behind.
The people in the hall, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise on their faces.
Wang Lingling’s gaze also shifted over.
She sized up Chen Fan for a moment, frowned slightly, then crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Are you the Chen Fan that everyone praises?"
"That’s me."
Chen Fan looked at her, feeling a bit speechless inside.
After all, they had met, not just once, but even interacted this morning.
Of course, he wouldn’t go out of his way to reveal his true identity to the other party.
"It really is you."
Wang Lingling nodded, glanced at Sun Wei, and said, "Your president should have told you what happened earlier, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a bit embarrassed.
Although being outmatched isn’t something worth discussing.
But the one in front of them, who is quite young, losing to her was indeed quite disgraceful.
"Told me, so are you here now to have a sparring session with me?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.
"That’s right."
Wang Lingling responded straightforwardly, "I’ve heard that you’re the strongest here. My realm is the True Essence Realm, what’s yours? If it’s not the True Essence Realm, I think there won’t be any suspense in the outcome later."
With that, the field fell silent, and everyone’s eyes were on Chen Fan.
Including Sun Wei, who deep down had long been curious about Chen Fan’s true realm but felt awkward to ask.
"My realm?"
Chen Fan smiled, "It’s also the True Essence Realm."
The whole place was in an uproar at once.
"My goodness, Brother Chen is actually already in the True Essence Realm!"
"Isn’t that too strong? Even at headquarters, there aren’t many True Essence Realm martial artists, right?"
"No wonder he was walking at the forefront earlier, even the president was polite to him, he’s truly a True Essence Realm martial artist!"
Though everyone had some expectations, hearing this directly from the person involved, they were still shocked.
"Brother Chen really is a True Essence Realm martial artist now." Sun Wei thought, recalling how Chen Fan was just an Entry Force Martial Artist when he first joined the association.
After some time, now he had reached the True Essence Realm; the speed of his cultivation was as fast as a rocket.
"You’re also in the True Essence Realm?"
Wang Lingling’s face showed a hint of displeasure.
She came here for a sparring match, mainly to show off, as martial artists her age in the True Essence Realm were rare.
Yet the person before her, looking even younger, was also in the True Essence Realm?
"Alright."
She grinned, revealing a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes, "Since you’re also a True Essence Realm martial artist, let’s spar and see who’s better."
The atmosphere in the field instantly became tense.
Everyone looked at Chen Fan then Wang Lingling, hoping the former would thoroughly defeat the latter to vent their frustrations.
However, what Chen Fan said next made them freeze.
"Sorry, I have things to attend to, and I don’t have the time to spar with you here."
"?"
Wang Lingling was also taken aback and then laughed, "Don’t tell me you’re saying this because you know you’re not my match?"
Chen Fan shook his head and said, "You should be aware of what’s happening in the city. Perhaps the beast tide will arrive tomorrow, with time for sparring, it’s better spent on cultivation, maybe increasing our strength a bit more."
Wang Lingling’s mouth slightly opened, momentarily left speechless.
Around them, people’s expressions became grave.
"It’s just a beast tide?"
Wang Lingling pouted.
With her strength, she couldn’t stop the beast tide, but escaping wouldn’t be difficult.
"All that talk, you’re just afraid of losing, unwilling to spar with me?"
"Afraid of losing?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Do you think I’m not your match?"
"What else?"
Seeing that her goading worked, Wang Lingling enthusiastically added, "If you’re a man, spar with me, don’t make excuses, dare you?"
"Alright."
Chen Fan’s smile widened.
She was using goading tactics.
He was also playing along.
"Since we’re going to spar, why not add a little bet to make it more interesting, do you dare to agree?"
Wang Lingling’s eyes immediately narrowed.
Although usually alert, she smelled a hint of danger.
Everyone who had been annoyed with her started encouraging her.
"Miss, weren’t you shouting confidently just now? Elder Chen agreed to spar, why are you hesitating now?"
"Haha, I think she’s scared? Maybe she was just bluffing initially."
"Girl, if you don’t dare agree, just say it, don’t be so hesitant."
"Who said that!"
Sure enough, Wang Lingling got angry and looked at everyone, "Who said I’m not his match. I just didn’t expect him to propose adding a bet."
Then, she turned to Chen Fan, "You first say what bet you want to add, I’ll consider whether to agree."
"Alright."
Chen Fan replied, "It’s simple, the loser has to agree to do one thing for the winner."
"The loser has to do one thing for the winner?"
Wang Lingling’s face was full of suspicion, "Do what?"
This guy can’t be planning something against me, right?
Although she felt, with her strength, she wouldn’t lose, but as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall, if his request is too much, she won’t agree.
