ed slightly: "Master George, Phili, you're too kind. I'm just returning to China, it's not a big deal, so I didn't want to bother you.""Mr. Ye, you saved my life, what's there to be polite about betwe...Lu Xueman's expression changed, then she said: "The number one on the Heavenly Rankings is named Feng Tianxiang, and he is not in Cangfeng Academy."

Our academy students spend half their time training within the academy and the other half traveling outside to gain experience.

He has been out for almost a month now and hasn't come back yet.

Although the change in her expression was fleeting, it was still captured by Ye Bufan's keen observation.

Some say women have a sixth sense, but men do too.

He said, "Does that guy like you"

Lu Xue Man hurriedly explained, "Xiao Fan, don't misunderstand me. He likes me, but I don't like him. There's really nothing between us."

Ye Bufan saw the panic in Xue Man's face for the first time and smiled, "Don't worry, I naturally believe my own wife."

“By the way, what kind of person is that guy Tell me all about him.”

Regardless, the opponent is currently ranked first on the Heavenly Rankings. In future newcomer ranking matches, they will inevitably become his rival. Therefore, he wants to learn more about them.

Lu Xueman, however, mistook his thoughts and quickly said: "Xiaofan, I really have nothing to do with him. You must not conflict with him, or you will suffer."

"Don't worry, honey. I just wanted to check."

Ye Bufan had only asked casually, but Lu Xueman's reaction piqued his interest in this rival.

"Tell me, is he good"

"Well, he's quite remarkable." Lu Xue Man nodded. "Ever since he entered Cangfeng Academy, the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings has always been his alone."

Although Fan Xiaofeng ranked second before, he was only one place behind, his cultivation level was vastly different.

And during the ring battle, I could tell he wasn't using his full strength, so I easily locked in on the victory.

That is to say, for so many years he remained undefeated at Cangfeng Academy, and no one knew the true extent of his strength.

Although Feng Tianxiang's publicly declared cultivation level is at the peak of Nascent Soul, I don't quite believe it. Even though I have now stepped into the Void Refinement realm, I wouldn't say I have a guaranteed victory against him.

So if you run into him, be careful. And this person has a background; his uncle Feng Xingkong is the first vice-dean of Cangfeng Academy.

For so many years, the Dean has been training outside, and Feng Xingkong has been in charge of the entire academy. He is absolutely the most powerful person in Cangfeng Academy.

"Oh!" Ye Bufan nodded. "Someone with such strong abilities, could he be very ugly"

Lu Xueman shook her head. "To be honest, Feng Tianxiang is quite handsome. He's the heartthrob of countless girls in the academy."

"Since you're handsome, talented, and come from a good family, why didn't you consider it"

“I don’t like him!” Lu Xueman said, “Feng Tianxiang appears to be perfect on the surface. He has high cultivation, good looks, and is kind to others.”

But I can tell, this person definitely has a sinister heart. You never know what he's thinking, and you could be sold out by him any moment.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded again, it seemed that the first love rival he had encountered on the Kunlun Continent was still a formidable character.

Lu Xueman urged again, "Feng Tianxiang is definitely not easy to deal with. When you see him in the future, you must stay away from him and try your best to avoid conflict."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Ye Bufan nodded. He was considered a seasoned veteran, having faced formidable foes before—even the former God Emperor and Vampire Queen had fallen under his control. How could he possibly care about a Feng Tianxiang

After chatting for a while longer, he had breakfast and then left the inner courtyard alone, heading back to the library.

Before he came to find Lu Xue Man, he was trying to borrow her qualifications.

But now that he has become a member of the Heavenly Ranking himself, he can directly use his token to view the entire library. Naturally, there is no need to rely on others anymore.

He arrived at the door, presented his token, and then went straight to the fourth floor of the library.

Compared to the foundational texts in the third layer, the scriptures recorded in the fourth to sixth layers are much more refined and their quantity is considerably smaller.

Ye Bufan glanced over the books here, but still couldn't find any cultivation techniques that interested him.

There are very few books related to spiritual power, let alone any talk of repairing it.

He then came to the seventh layer, where the number of books had decreased significantly. It took him only a couple of hours to finish checking all the books in the last three layers.

Although the techniques here are more advanced, he had no interest in them whatsoever. What he was interested in, however, was a book that he couldn't find anywhere.

Standing on the ninth floor, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. His heart was filled with disappointment. It seemed that he could only place his last hope on the Heaven-Mending Pill.

Fortunately, I found a recipe for Dànhuā Dān from the library. This is a bit of a gain, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how effective it will be.

At that moment, his heart moved. It was the communication jade talisman in his pocket that had sent a message.

He now understands a bit better. The transmission jade talisman, it requires mutual imprinting of divine consciousness.

For example, even though he and Lu Xue Man had communication jade talismans before, without imprints they couldn't send messages.

He picked up the transmission jade talisman and glanced at it. It was a message from Luo Yudie.

"Little brother, come here for a moment. Sister has something to tell you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Ye Bufan sent a reply and strode out of the library.

When he finally came outside, he found that it was sunset. He had spent the entire day searching inside.

As a martial arts academy, Cangfeng Academy is open 24/7.

Ye Bufan strode out of the gate, heading towards Ju Baoge.

Behind him, a figure darted from the darkness, drew out a communication jade talisman to send a message, and then silently trailed after him like a ghost.

Ye Bufan's spiritual power is now damaged, and his divine sense scans a much smaller range than before.

But as a former Refinement Realm expert, his senses were still extremely keen. He quickly sensed that someone was following him.

He was a little unsure at first, but after testing it out his own way a few times, he confirmed that someone was indeed following him.

Having come out of Cangfeng Academy, he had a general idea in his mind, and a sneer couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Bufan didn't show that he had already discovered the other party. He took a step forward and, after turning a corner, entered an alleyway next to him.

There wasn't a single soul in sight, the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and an eerie silence hung in the air.

He raised his hand, discreetly slipping a Datura flower pill into his mouth.

The top-grade pill he refined melted in his mouth instantly, and his spiritual energy quickly surged. Afterward, the true essence within him began to churn.

Ye Bufan felt the changes within his body, and there was a tinge of regret in his heart.

This Danhua Dan has good effects. It directly pushed his cultivation level to the half-step Refining Void realm, only a little bit away from restoring his previous realm.

But it's not like it matters, dealing with the problem at hand is enough for now.

At that moment, four dark figures shot from the darkness and surrounded him.iu Meiniang, and no one paid any attention to Liu Guosheng.By the time Zhai Lingxiu reacted, it was too late. A short dagger instantly pierced Liu Guosheng's throat.Liu Guosheng's acupoints had alread...
