"Yeah, it's quite big!"Zhang Fan said calmly.
"So what's your choice?"Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.
"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has treated me very well, of course I'll choose her!"Zhang Fan pursed his lips, then looked up at Ning Fengzhi,"I think Sect Master Ning should choose her too!"
"Why?"Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Because I chose her!"Zhang Fan said confidently,"Let me tell Uncle Ning something important—if you choose the Crown Princess, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will become the number one sect in the world!"
"Oh? That is indeed a tempting condition!"Ning Fengzhi was surprised."Will that really work?"
"Of course! You've got to believe me!"Zhang Fan patted his chest confidently.
"Alright, then I will always support the Crown Princess."Ning Fengzhi said seriously.
"Good, I hope the Sect Master sticks to it. Otherwise, it could be quite painful!"
After the reminder, Zhang Fan turned and left.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly after seeing Zhang Fan's expression. A genius like Zhang Fan was indeed someone worth supporting—especially with the powerful soul-guided cannons he had provided.
Now he was asking him to support Xue Qinghe, and Ning Fengzhi agreed—not just because of strategy, but because he was her teacher.
What kind of teacher wouldn't support their own student?
When Xue Qinghe became emperor, he could become the Imperial Tutor.
That would be a prestigious position.
And in the future, when Zhang Fan fully matured—he was simply unimaginable.
Also, seeing the way Rongrong looked at Zhang Fan, he could tell she liked him, and that they were close.
That was something he was pleased to see.
After that, they all parted ways.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left together.
Zhang Fan walked alone down a street.
After a while, the surroundings grew quiet.
He heard footsteps rapidly approaching in the distance.
"Come out, Shi Nian!"Zhang Fan said calmly.
"Huh…"The white-robed old man Shi Nian was surprised.This kid actually noticed him the moment he got close."What a freak. No wonder he's Shrek's monstrous genius."
"Whoosh..."Shi Nian blocked Zhang Fan's path.
"What do you want?"Zhang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, expression calm.
"You're quite composed. I want you gone from this world, of course."Shi Nian smiled coldly, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.
"For the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"Zhang Fan replied indifferently.
"Heh, yeah. I've been waiting for a chance. You've always been with others, so I couldn't act. But now you're alone—you must die. After all, you're not a student of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."Shi Nian said viciously, killing intent surging in his eyes.
"Old bastard, you're ruthless. If I tell you to kneel, you'll kneel. Believe it or not!"Zhang Fan smirked.
"Ding, dialogue modification mission triggered."
[Shi Nian: "Do you think I'm an idiot? I don't believe it."] — Can modify four characters.
Zhang Fan sneered and deleted the word "don't".
"Ding, dialogue modification successful. Reward: 30 modification points."
Shi Nian said indifferently,"Do you think I'm an idiot? I believe it!"
In the next moment, he actually knelt down.
Shi Nian was stunned.Why did he say that?It just slipped out, and then he knelt—he couldn't believe it.
What the hell just happened?
"What did you do to me?"Shi Nian felt a sharp pain from his knees and heard a cracking sound—his face turned pale.
"Nothing. Ever heard of 'Words Become Law'?"Zhang Fan replied calmly.
"Damn you! I'll kill you! How dare you humiliate me like this!"Shi Nian's eyes burned with rage,"Go mad and die in my Nightmare!"
As Shi Nian's voice rang out, a terrifying wave of spiritual power surged toward Zhang Fan, trying to drag him into an illusion.
"Clang…"
Zhang Fan sneered.This Shi Nian really had a death wish—using illusions on him?
"Ding, dialogue modification mission triggered."
['Kid, you made me kneel? Then I'll make you kowtow to me!' Shi Nian sneered, imagining making the brat kneel in his Nightmare—it should be easy.]
Zhang Fan immediately changed "you" to "I".
"Kid, you made me kneel? Then I'll make myself kowtow to me!"
Shi Nian sneered, still imagining forcing the kid to kneel in the illusion.
"Crack…"
The next moment, he dropped to his knees again,"Bang! Bang!"and kowtowed several times toward Zhang Fan.
His forehead even started to bleed.
What a satisfying sight for Zhang Fan.This old bastard had been so arrogant just moments ago.
Now he was utterly pathetic.
"Bang! Bang!"The kneeling and kowtowing echoed loudly.
"Ahhh!"
Shi Nian screamed, completely losing control.He never expected to go insane and kowtow like that while the brat just stood there, receiving it—it drove him mad.
And that damn brat wasn't even in the illusion!
"Old man, how's it feel? You want to kill me? I'll make you regret it!"Zhang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the bowing Shi Nian, coldly laughing.
"What sorcery did you use on me? If I survive, I'll kill your whole family!"Shi Nian growled through clenched teeth, furious beyond belief.
He deeply regretted coming after this kid.
He had been so confident—but now, all that was gone.
"Yeah? Then come at me—if you can kill me, go ahead!"
Zhang Fan sneered.With a thought, his martial soul—the Heavenly Mourning Sword—was summoned.
"Rip…"
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky as he gripped a long sword wreathed in violet lightning.
The terrifying pressure made Shi Nian's face go pale.
"D-Don't come near me!"Shi Nian kowtowed while crawling backward in panic.
"Hehe… If you're dead, I won't come closer!"
Zhang Fan smirked coldly, a silver sword light flashed,"Clang!"and slashed out in an instant.
"Pfft…"
With sword intent powerful enough to cleave the heavens, the blade passed right through Shi Nian.
"Aghhh!"Shi Nian screamed.
Blood sprayed from his body, and he collapsed, instantly turning into a mist of blood.
This old bastard wanted to kill him—he could only blame his bad luck.
"He who kills must be prepared to be killed."
Zhang Fan collected his head soul bone and martial soul, then turned and left without looking back.
Only the blood mist remained, slowly settling to the ground, then blown dry by the wind.
No one would ever know—a Soul Saint had died here.
Zhang Fan strode away.
Valiant and dashing, absolutely striking.
He returned to Shrek Academy and reunited with the others.
"Brother Fan, why were you gone so long?"Xiao Wu asked curiously, not knowing what he had been doing.
"Ran into a little trouble. Took care of it, then came back!"Zhang Fan shrugged, wrapped an arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist, and walked aside,"Did you miss me?"
"Of course I did!"Ning Rongrong chimed in.
"Mhm!"Zhu Zhuqing nodded too.
"Brother Fan, the secret techniques you taught us are amazing!"Xiao Wu praised excitedly.
